* raises hands in resignation* Ight, chill
It would literally take hundreds if not thousands of ships to evacuate an entire planet, not to mention time.
How long do you think it will take to get from the edge of the Sol system to New Condia? It took my ships two weeks to get from New Condia back to Shao IX and they were damaged and on that side of the galaxy. If im understanding this mental map properly, Chaos would have to travel through Terran space ( Sol system), past Nouvelle and then finally get to the battle.
Icarus, Ocean of Jul
by the Terran ship

The gunner chuckled at the display and nodded towards the man as he landed on the deck of the speedboat. As the Terrans spoke the translation unit fastened to the sailors belt roughly translated the language, coming out of the earpiece in his ear. “ Its a pleasure sir, welcome to Icarus….We kinda wished you phoned ahead..” the pilot laughed as she heard the comment and took a long drag on a cigarette in her mouth. The smoke rolled away from her face and washed over the Terrans before blowing away from the boat, it would smell sweet, almost like a flower. “ Khala, hu’hala, u sho saou” The pilot said towards the gunner, roughly translated to ‘Khala, Lets go, its going to storm soon’. The gunner nodded and looked over the horizon to his left before looking at his watch “ She’s right, its almost 17:00, you don’t want to be out here on a speedboat when those storms hit”. The gunner made a circling motion with his hand and the speed boat quickly sped off, moving back towards the carrier. The speedboats had rigid hulls and were jet driven with two more mounting points for more weapons, fully staffed these things could lay down quite the firepower.

15 minutes later the speedboats pulled into flooded well deck and tied up on the raised platform that leads to the interior of the ship. As the storm clouds rolled in the well deck hatch closed and the water quickly drained out, revealing a slip rubberized floor and ladders leading up into the ship. The crews dismounted and began stowing the ships for travel. “ Up the ladder, go right and head up the stairs. The captain will be there” the gunner said towards the Terrans, pointing up into the ship. Aradite custom is to show their guests the utmost hospitality and trust, but to the Terrans it might seem a little odd. Since the Terrans were now deemed not a threat, they would be treated as trusted guests and locals. The carrier dwarfed the speedboats from the outside but inside, the halls looked like you could ride tanks down them. Everything inside would be kept impeccably clean, not even a stray hair was out of place. Sailors walked the halls like it was business as usual, only stealing a few seconds to look at the Terrans before going about their business. As the Terrans reached they’re destination, they would find themselves in the Combat information center, surrounded by holoscreens and Septonians at desks. The captain would be at the center of the room, over a large holographic display table of the ocean.
You people and your cool ships...
So the EU is now Chaos bound?
Or....you could just eat our food, drink our wine and not tell anybody...
On a lighter note.....are the Terrans ready to party like its......3195!!
carus, Ocean of Jul
by the Terran ship

The Septonians tracked the vessel down to the planets surface. Shortly after the plane touched down Large battleships and carriers could be seen in the distance. The Aradites evolved as an ocean going people and maintain a rather large conventional navy. Space travel is still relatively new for the species and the concordant, both relate to one another nicely however. TheBattleships cannons remained unmanned and locked in their travel positions as they collection of ships moved forward and fighters remained on the deck of the carrier. On all of the ships, every crew-member seemed to be on the quarterdeck at once, trying to steal a look at the alien ship. As the ships got closer a collection of four armed speedboats left from the carrier and made their way towards the Terran vessel. The speedboats were big enough to fit six or seven guys, a large caliber machine gun sat up front while two mounted grenade launchers sat on the port and starboard sides. There were only two people on each boat, the pilot and the front gunner, who had locked the turret in the up position, pointing up in the air. Both grenade turrets remained unmanned to conserve space and to seem as non-threatening as possible.

As the first speedboat pulled up next to the Terran vessel the front gunner quickly picked up a rope and threw it around the nearest protruding object, possibly an antennae, to anchor the small boat to the vessel as they floated there. “ We will take you anywhere you need to go, no need to waste fuel for atmospheric travel. We have boats ready to take you back to the mainland, where we have a feast ready for you and those who will accompany you.” The entirety of the Diplomatic Corps academy staff and students were ready and waiting to give the new arrivals a good taste of Septonian hospitality.
