The Yellow Jackets inhabiting the outer asteroid belt responded their usual way to strangers approaching the Maltruse System, that is to say by going to the outermost edge and glaring at the much, much smaller fleet. It couldn't even be called a fleet, more like a squadron. However, they were to keep the Lorcar's territory, not expand it. As long as those ships stayed out, they'd make no move themselves, crawling across the asteroids and their hive-metal mines. They were literally everywhere, just a constantly moving mass of Yellow Jackets.
