Thelas
30-08-2004, 16:17
Thelas, long come from the world scene, Thelas, a hated nation, Thelas, a
nation of elves who seemed to have their heritage, were back. At the Edenbar world-ship, massive preparations were under way. Soldiers stood and saluted their commanders as they moved to their transports, and massive warships were moving into a screen around the world-ship that housed the Thelasi civilization. Even the massive Battle-Destroyers were formed in their
fleets, each fleet had two Dagor El ships assigned to them, plus the other
ships in each of the fleets.
New hulls gleamed in the light of the stars that populated the Stellar
Nursery, each ship had been refitted, increased with new weapons, and new
armor. Slowly, the preparations were finished, the docking arms slowly began to release.

“Main Docking Arms, detached”

“Primary Restraining Bolts, detached”
“Secondary Restraining Bolts, detached”
“Umbilical Cords, detached”
Slowly each of the several hundred ships drifted away from the station. In one of the docking bays, Morchant Tirith, and other soldiers stood at
attention. Their solid black armor had been replaced, a brilliant gold nowadorned the shock troops of the Thelasi Military. Their armor, a reflection of the battle armor that their Sindarin ancestors had worn during the Third Age. Their helmets, resembling the ancient helms of the past, except visors now sealed the helms, and protected the soldiers. Ironically, some of the soldiers that stood in this new armor had indeed worn the armor of ages past. Some were veterans of many thousands of years.
Empress Ithenril stood in that docking bay, over viewing the sea of golden armor, each of the military branches of Thelas was represented there.
Ithenril smiled, Soon she thought, Soon the Thelasi will return to the international scene, we will have learned from past mistakes. We will make good on our oaths and alliances, and we will make good on our treaties. The accord of Leiden was a joke, but no longer, we shall revive the Accord. We shall renew the alliances of brotherhood with Aelosia and Menelmacar and we will strengthen the bonds of kin-ship between Thelas and the Necrontyr Empire, and we will be stronger than ever. She turned her head to look at the ‘Imperial Consort’, Lord Feaelenion. Because he wasn’t a Thelasi, he could not become Emperor, yet he and Ithenril were married, so the title was a necsity Note to self, have a diplomatic reception for the marriage.
The time was finished when Thelas would merely sit on the fence and would
not fight against Morgoth, and the time was also finished when Thelas would pursue the Enemy with no rhyme or reason, and absolutely no subtly. Thelas would pursue their feud’ with a little more reason, and
a little more sense.
The warships shone, their black hulls shimmering in the light of the
stars. Red stripes painted onto the hulls created the appearance of blood
running across a deadly blade. Weapon ports were closed, and the message was clear, the Thelasi did not want war. Just a return to the world scene.
Ithenril stepped up to a podium as the holo-cameras, and normal cameras
began broadcasting,
E
"“Ladies and gentlemen, you may recognize me, I am Lady Ithenril. Empress
of the nation of Thelas. For the past several years we have retreated back from the world scene, and now we return. We return as a nation that wishes peace and good relations.
We still expect loyalty from our provinces. And we hope that they continue to respect the power of the Empire, and the aid which we give them. We also hope that other nations give us a new slate with which to work. In the past we made many rash decisions, but now we hope to be able to fix our past mistakes."
Behind Ithenril the
soldiers continued to stand at attention, their armor beautiful, even in the cold lights of the hanger bay.
“"For Peace, for Honor and for the Glory of the Empire."” The transmission cut.
In space, massive Slip-Stream warps opened, the Thelasi ships scattering
through the gates that had opened. Seconds later, they appeared on the
out-skirts of the Sol system, each protection fleet floating still in space, moving in perfect sync with Edenbar.
