[IC] Void of the Stars II: Return to the Stars [Sci-Fi] [Always Accepting]

[Kinkaz]

Ayaerid Empire

Though nothing is obvious yet, the Yaherid notices that there is some weird going on in the territories ruled by Yhogytj. He has expelled a lot of clergy from his local parlamentand even legalized other religious groups so long as they live in ghettos. The Yaherid dismisses much of this information, thinking he is finally asserting his power by finally expelling those who disliked him, though he considers the ghettos weird. Despite this, and at the request of Yhogytj, he will bring all the known religious groups into his ghetto.

Size of the Empire:

15 stars, 11 with planets and 4 planets on the empire are naturally (no isolation from the enviroment is needed) inhabitable.
300 spaceships (10 new spaceships produced with each post)

Republic of Ardal

The Ardali plasma weapons are still firing shots upon the remaining enemy troops on Ejofron. One of the earliest cities in Yiravi history has fallen to the Republic of Ardal. The general has went down from his ship to recite an ancient prayer, which has surprisingly survived despite all the millenia and the events, in front of the ruins of the ancient Nuque Empire.

Translation

Blessed be the gods
For with our axes and shields
We were granted victory against our enemies
Our rulers are celebrating
And the women are screaming of joy
And our children are learning
And the eldery are envious
We will one day be reunited
With our gods the almighty
On the final battle
Against the demons of hell

The soldiers are celebrating this glorious victory.

Size of the republic:
7 stars, 6 with planets and 2 planets are naturally inhabitable.
One naturally inhabitable planet occupied by Ardal.
15 spaceships (every 2 posts another one)

Hyphelia
The ancient starship had been outfitted with a Warp Drive system, and it has been sent to the Nikolien to assist in the research being conducted on the anomaly. It has been supplied with ammunition for it's missile launchers and antiproton streamers as well, allowing to to assist in a fight if needed.

Military Report
Five new interstellar vessels have been completed! Both are being operated by the Abh Imperial Interstellar Military, and are thus official warships. Instead of recycled patrol ships, they are completely original and have been constructed using Equestrian technology. Radiation and energy shields have been fitted in their hull, which is twice as large as a patrol ship's, and the hull itself is constructed with a mixture of tungsten and Equestrian alloys. As they are large enough, eight defense platforms have been attached to their hulls in the same manner as the modified patrol ships. These ships, too, have been sent to the Nikolien system to assist with the anomaly research.

Equestrian Meeting
The Delphan Conduit has been sent on the Starfire to Equiis, and a polling system has been set up so that the entire Federation can have a say in decisions made at the meeting, with the Conduit being, well, a Conduit.

Lakfakalle (Sazkarjhit)
"Rigel, eh? Good, that's within reasonable jump range. We have recently made new additions to our fleet as well, five warships have been built and an ancient Aif Imperial vessel has been restored and equipped with a Warp Drive. It has a lot of cargo space for a warship, but we converted those areas into hydroponic gardens. It will hopefully be able to function however we want it too, as the majority of its hull appears to be modular. Once you want our fleet out there, just send the signal and we'll come running. Provided we're not under attack or anything."

Lakfakalle, Castully
"This is Lakfakalle Foreign Relations, we're glad you decided to come and officially contact us. We have a landing pad prepared for you, you are hereby granted clearance to land."

[MrFoxNews]

The Dreadnought Class Warship silently exited the warp. From anyone viewing the ship already it was only a derelict ruin.

The Crew knew otherwise. Engines Flared to life letting off a Deep Purple glow.

Warmaster Finch of the Night Lords sat upon his throne on the bridge of the The Corsair.

"Report." He said. His Helmets Vox made his already deep voice into a inhuman rumble.

The thing that might have been human if it wasn't for the unnatural flame contained within its eyes replied "Plague has been sent to a pocket universe, the creatures he called Equestrians are almost surely responsible. Perhaps the Triarians will know more."

"Very well see that it is done Nihlus. " Finch replied

The Corsair reopened the warp portal and silently re-entered heading for Triarian held space.

[darkwolf687]

Approaching vessels...

The Triarian watching the terminal, with his eyes glowing and signals flowing back and forth... machinery protruded from him, hooked up into the system. And then, shockingly, a ship appeared near the space station he was manning. He looked at the screen in somewhat disbelief... that ship didn't look capable of normal travel, nevermind whatever FTL that had been... he detected multiple signatures... they had used some form of interdimensional drive... Smart, very smart...
"Identify and state purpose" He transmitted towards it, tapping scan orders as another member of the monitering crew came over to view the screens

[MrFoxNews]

The Cultist manning the Vox Relay received the message and passed the channel to Warmaster Finch.

"My name is Warmaster Finch of the Night Lords I have come for information regarding the entity known as Plague. I have also come to spread of the message of Chaos to this universe. To whom am I addressing? "

[darkwolf687]

"You are addressing Officer Lupus of the Space Station Finis Jucundo. We are interested in making contact... and Plague you say? May I ask why...?" The Officer shot a concearned glance to his friend beside him, who shrugged and mouthed 'Likely nothing'

[MrFoxNews]

Finch pressed the Vox activation Rune

"Plague has been lost, we seek information regarding his location. Being that he has mentioned you we presumed you may know something. "

The engines of the ship burned a brilliant purple for a few minutes and propelled the ship ever so slightly closer to the Station.

Lakfakalle

"What you present is very good, Admiral Spoor. I will make sure to notify SCNOSE HICOM immediately, I'm sure from there information will be relayed to you. If you need to contact the military for advice, especially for a naval strike, ask for the ranks and names of Supreme Commander Doman Felasi'hum and Supreme Fleetmaster Daraya Magama'yum. I must advise that you make a slow approach, however. Some of the higher Sazkarjhit brass has been known to get jumpy, and Commander Felasi'hum has a reputation for...well...losing her temper."

Cleimir, responding. All ships, copy?

Copy, Cleimir. Face phase has begun, send contact signal to designated species Therymae.

...Greetings, foreign species. We are here today, to seek a personal meeting to sentients. The Ceramus has undergone a recorded history of over four thousand years, undergone a complete unification, and since then has developed technologies of the arcane and stellar kind. Now, if you seek peaceful contact, fine. First contact battle, fine also. We will let you have your pick, and until you do so we will stand by near your world. But note that each action you do will have its equivalent action from us. If you are willing to show to us that you are sentient, respond.

Contact: Fellowship (Ayaerid)
We are seeking a contact of peace with other empires like your civilization. From this point on, we will wait for your response on whether you will open a friendly communication with us or decimate our fleet, and note that whether you do each, we will return it back. We will wait until your reply arrives.

Finch pressed the Vox activation Rune"Plague has been lost, we seek information regarding his location. Being that he has mentioned you we presumed you may know something. "The engines of the ship burned a brilliant purple for a few minutes and propelled the ship ever so slightly closer to the Station.

"We have not come into contact with him recently, did he mention anything else, describe anything? We might be able to point you in the right direction to find him if he did" The Officer said, his eyes glowing a dull orange as he transmitted thoughts to the other officer near him

Construction

Construction begins on the following vessels

Two Times Praetorian
Four Times Evocatus

Four Times Velites

[MrFoxNews]

The Dreadnought began to slowly circle the station.

Warmaster Finch once again pressed the Vox Activation Rune.

"The only knowledge we know of is that Plague was in equestrian space. Perhaps you could tell us who they are?" Finch lied.

Finch pressed the deactivation rune for Vox and turned to Nihlus.

"Identify their Communication and Life Support Systems, Prepare to fire on my order. " Finch said with a Slight chuckle as he listened for the Triarian Reply.

[darkwolf687]

The Collective officer tapped a few commands, transmitting over an image of an Equestrian "Equestrians, a quadrupedal species with no arms. Subjects possess unknown ability they primitively refer to as magic. Subjects primitively believe in theocracy. Subjects have relatively primitive technology." He reported, tapping a few buttons on the terminal

[MrFoxNews]

Finch grinned "Transmit coordinates now and we will leave you alone." Finch said and deactivated the vox.

"Open fire as soon as we receive the coordinates." Finch said to the cultist with a toothy grin.

[darkwolf687]

The Collective officer tapped a few commands on the terminal "Equestrian known coordinates transmitted, we are pleased to have been assistance to another space faring nation" The officer said, tapping another set of commands

[MrFoxNews]

"Thank you, and now ask promised we will leave you alone... stranded and without life support. Open fire!"

The derelict looking ship released a full broadside upon small station crippling it beyond repair. It's long range communications and life support in particular had been targeted and we're nothing more than smoking metal.

With out another word the Corsair Re-entered the warp and headed for equestrian space.

[Keyguyperson]

Union of Space Faring Nations
The Conduit transmitted the treaty to the rest of the Federation, and waited a moment for the numbers to come in. After the polling, the Conduit finally responded.
"The nations of Lakfakalle have democratically accepted this treaty. 97.4% of the population has voted in favor. The Union of Space Faring Nations has been formed." He said in a monotone voice. While the reaction was underwhelming (What with the Conduit being just that), all present could still feel the significance of the moment, knowing that a great thing had been created that day.

Nikolien System, Contact
A message was sent to the fleet from the newly restored Aif starship. An Abh woman appeared on the screen of the receiving vessel.
"This is Captain Ablïarsec Néïc Dubleuscr Bœrh Parhynr Lamhirh of the Abh Imperial Space Force operating under the Lakfakalle Cooperative Federation Exploratory Command. This vessel is the Warship Kelsof, it is fifty thousand years of age and left over from the ancient Aif Empire. It was sent to this system to assist a research project and the colony we have established here. Our homeworld is forty light years away, in what we call the Kalle System. I do not represent the majority of Federation citizens, our nation is comprised of multiple species and internal factions. We do not wish for a battle, instead we request a peaceful first contact. If you wish for a face-to-face contact, then please send a shuttle to this vessel or dock with it."

[darkwolf687]

The Triarian blinked at the screen a few times, before turning and tapping a few commands "Unit is beginning civilis protectioine report. Someone use TSPN, report situation, move servitors to check the life support, raise shields, redirect available respiratory gasses to command center, move units to command center. All units lower breathing rates. Failure to comply will result in immediate amputation. Logging report"

Triarian Space Near attacked station
A Equestrian ship appeared near the station
"Chaos energy has been detected at this location. Chaos energy is associated with dangerous and mentally unstable beings. Please give us information on regards to any strange happenings at this station."

[darkwolf687]

Triarian space station

"Negative. Can not report information. Life support is destroyed, continued talking wastes respiratory gasses. Will not send visual information until life support stabilised"
