Union Ships of the Line: The Return of Adapa

This is the continuing story of the legendary 7 Sisters. The autonomous heavily armed sentient battleships designed, built, raised and trained by the 6th Race to serve the galactic Union. The Seven Sisters were commissioned in the Union Navy after graduation from the Union Naval Academy. They have enforced Galactic Law with honor and integrity for four and half billion years. In the days before the collapse of the Union the Sisters were never challenged, their mere appearance would bring an end to conflicts in the galaxy. They continued to perform their noble purpose – even after losing two of their own – and after the Union began to collapse 200 million years ago...

The genius rescued by the Commander of the 7 Sisters brought forth two new Sisters, after mastering the technology of the 6th Race, thus restoring the Sisters to their original strength. The “new Baby Sisters” – though teenagers – have proven themselves worthy to bear the name bestowed upon their Aunts and Mothers by the Union. The Commander realized this genius could restore the Union Navy and gave him everything he needed to accomplish the task.

Then the only surviving Union Planetary Army Dominator – after sacrificing himself to stop a great evil bent on enslaving the entire galaxy – found the lost brother of the 7 Sisters. He was the first Union Artificial Life form Cruiser created by the 6th Race. The official Union history recorded the first 6th Race Cruiser went insane – attacked its creators and then fled the galaxy!

In this story Adapa is brought back from oblivion and given a new larger more powerful hull. He sets the example for the new Union Navy Sailors and Star Marines to follow. He shows them how the old Union Navy traditions and regulations are important. The Sisters travel to the Andromeda galaxy and rescue the 4th Race from an alien fleet. The 4th Race returns the galaxy they abandoned in secret and in an effort to rule the home galaxy unwittingly join forces with the Forerunners!

Sharri leads her first independent combat mission to save 4th Race Union Navy dependents. The first secret Special Projects Starship Yard is completed. The SuperSentry comes online to take over the day-to-day operations of the Secure Harbors and Logistics Supply Bases from Ninlil. The New Union Navy Sailors and Star Marines prove themselves worthy to carry their respective titles.

Version: 2.0 08Aug2015 A note to my readers: – I apologize for the first release of this eBook. I was not aware that my personal Configuration Management technique for tracking document versions -– a technique that has served me well for over 20 years would not work in the latest office software. Because of this procedure failure I selected the wrong file to upload to Amazon. – I uploaded an earlier draft that was not ready for publication. I only use this company’s product now to upload my books to Amazon. I prefer to work in Ubuntu and Open Office when producing my books. I have altered my Configuration Management technique so that this shall not happen again.
