Background
The HLD Hikuptah, the Hammer of Light flagship that appeared from nowhere and eliminated the GTD Ixion using powerful reverse-engineered beam weapons of Shivan origin, has eluded detection since that engagement and must be countered. The Alliance realizes that a pure engagement with the vessel, which is suspected to have set a course to Alpha Centauri, would result in bloodshed, and relies on a side plan to gather vital data on the destroyer's specs and react according to said data. Despite the obvious advantage in term of firepower, the Hikuptah also plays a delicate political role, and may induce further defections within the PVE. Supreme Admiral Khu decides that experienced and skilled Terran pilots, all but impervious to HoL influence, may perform a task that would otherwise put any Vasudan pilot, no matter how loyal to the PVE, in an ambiguous situation.
