Caliph has sent Orders for the The Auudi II to take the Puma on scouting, to test the new ship. You see, straight out of the shipyard some bugs had to be gone over. Caliph preferred a practical approach. He would send the ships on a scouting mission. A system had been detected, and Caliph's order were, to take a closer look, if no one lived there, to settle it. If they did, come back with a full report, for later conquest. If there was fight already... his orders were, to test their weapons.
