Throk strode to the ramp of the dropship, and was met by a large humanoid servitor. It was still bulky and heavily armoured, but as the servitors went it was slim and graceful. A blank helmet folded back on itself to form a gorget, and revealed a woman’s face of startling beauty. She had a small pistol at her side, in an ornate leather holster. It hung off a utility belt of equal workmanship, and Ghost got the impression that she was as focused on efficiency as the rest of the servitors appeared to be, but was not wholly immune to aesthetics. She looked at Ghost and nodded her head slightly as Throk introduced her. "This is Commander Sevara. She is the captain of this vessel and the leader of the splinter fleet that I had been planning on putting at your command. For now though, the whole fleet moves. Commander Sevara will show you the ships at your command while I return to my own ship. For now, if not later, you shall have command of the splinter fleet to protect your people while I pursue the attackers."
Ghost stepped hurriedly down the ramp with Sevara, and felt it lift slightly even as he stepped off it. Behind him, the dropship closed its ramp even as it lifted into the air of the hangar and streaked out of the bay past lines of sleek and varied fighters. Severa ushered Ghost to follow her into the ship. "Shouldn’t we be going to the bridge?" Ghost questioned. It was obvious to him that they were proceeding deep into the ship, and not up to a bridge from which they could see out.
"We are. Unlike most vessels our bridges are positioned deep under the hull, near the center of the ship. As with the auxiliary bridge."
"I dont see many crewmembers about."
"They are all at their positions. Our ships dont need as many superficial crew members as others."
They strode hurriedly onto the bridge. A large viewscreen dominated the forewall, bordered by several smaller ones. Ghost surmised that this was so the commander could see various points of battle, or other captains, with whatever she was chiefly interested in on the largest screen. Arrayed around the walls were various heavily armoured servitors attending various stations, occasionally glancing at each other and speaking quickly. A servitor in red robes strode forwards, several mechanical arms furled on its back. From the looks of it, Ghost surmised it was some sort of medic. Severa waved it off, and showed Ghost to a chair in front of a large console. She sat to his right next to a similar display, although hers seemed to be chiefly concerned with the ship, while his was track the whole fleet. "We have tried to make the console as simple as possible until you are used to it, so you should have no problems using it. If you have any questions, just ask me and Ill explain it as swiftly as possible. But first, the ships at your command.”
Ghost’s console’s main display changed to a tally of ships. It read:
22 Battleships
3 Carriers
55 Heavy Cruisers
48 Medium Cruisers
40 Light Cruisers
132 Corvettes
116 Frigates
Combined total of 4200 Fighters in 350 squadrons.
Combined total of 1824 Fighter-Bombers in 152 squadrons.
Combined total of 3840 Bombers in 320 squadrons.

[Ghost, you are able to work out the console, so just go nuts with it
It can do whatever you want it to, but for the moment, just go over the ships that you dont know of/not sure what I mean]
