The Fleet was once a great force, scores of ship projecting their power throughout the stars. That ended with one cataclysmic battle against The Enemy. What remains lacks the strength to stand and fight. Fleeing is the only real option.

Hope remains, however, because the Fleet’s flight is not without purpose. If it can reach its goal, a kind of victory can be achieved.

However, The Enemy continues to pursue the Fleet, determined to wipe out the few ships that remain. The Fleet will struggle to stay ahead of them as systems break down, ammo runs out, and crewmembers collapse from exhaustion. As it was on the oceans of the homeworld, so too is it among the stars - 

A Stern Chase Is A Long Chase

Each player will control a ship in the Fleet, each with its own crews, modifications, and capabilities. As ships take action their abilities will degrade, shrinking in die size as crew tire, supplies run out, and parts break down. The Fleet can always choose to rest, repair, and refit, but every time they do the Enemy will get closer.

The Fleet will have to balance fighting the Enemy off, making progress on their journey, acquiring supplies, gathering more ships to join them, and taking time to recover if they have any hope of making it their destination intact.
