3 Einhander destroyers appeared rather suddenly about 1 million kilometers away from the moon in three rather bright flashes of light.
Their weapons were not armed, nor were their defensive systems at full power.

It was rather obvious they werent here for a fight, rather they were here to conclude a rather large transaction between themselves and the nation of Allanea, an ally through AEON.

In Tannelorn the Allaneans were regarded as rather brave individuals, and "creative" when it came to space craft design. However when the offer to sell 100 ships was given, the Allaneans happily purchased them all.

So here was a detachment of Einhanders ready to escort the Allanean ships to Entropy station. Entropy station was rather deep in the asteroid belt and in the prefecture itself, to help protect against any pirates or looters that may attempt to make off with anything of value.

So here they were one and a half million miles away from earth, and awaiting the allaneans who were supposed to meet them.

Just to make sure things were running smoothly, Het Captain Marakov of the Valorous warrior sent out a hail, on broadband transmission.

"Allanean naval command this is the Valorous warrior of the Prefecture of Tannelorn navy, and we are ready for our rendezvous, nice to meet you in person and see your lovely planet as well." The Hetcaptain added with a grin.

Earth was rather crowded, even compared to mars, and the Hetcaptain truly hoped he didnt actually have to go down..there..for this diplomatic first.

A single VECO observational drone applies nominal propulsive energy in a particular direction and at a particular time before allowing the Earth's inevitable and inexorable gravitational field to tug at it once more.

Slowly, still, it falls back towards it's original position - but not before realigning it's passive liquid mercury eye on the new arrivals in it's observational 'territory'.

The Watchers watch.

Good day Valorous Warrior, this is USSN Naval Command, we are sending out two commercial craft to greet you, coming up on bearing X45-67G-NX, here they come.

Two small, saucerlike shapes began to ascend to meet the Tannelornian vessels. They were filled with a variety of engineers and pilots, whose job was to evaluate the new vessels and to learn how to use them. Those vessels would be renovated and distributed among the different Allanean Strike Fleets, to assist the differing Hughie Clouds when it came to heavy firepower and Even Heavier Firepower.

The AEON alliance was really turning out to be a good thing for Allanea.

Marakov ordered his detachment in to a prearranged escort formation, designed more for a show of solidarity then for any tactical reasoning. The moved in one ship to either side of the freighters, one in the middle creating the appearance of a staggered star formation.

They started to move away from terra, gaining a few last looks at the planet so few Tannelornians had ever seen this close. However that was to change. Part of this mission had been to deliver more then just the pilots of the Allanean navy to tannelorn, but to deliver an diplomatic team to Allanea. As the ships moved out a horizont and 12 MK III omega' Raetes exited the launch bay, and headed towards earth..

"Just follow us and we will have you there as fast as we can, and let us welcome you to tannelorn, even if the welcoming is a tad early." Hetcaptain Marakov sent to the Allanean freighters. A horizont was sent out from the fearless defender to meet with the main body of Allanean technicians on their freighter, to brief them prior to arrival. After all it would take at least a few hours, maybe even a few days to reach tannelorn, depending on the speed of the freighters.

However the Diplomatic envoy sent out another message, this one to the Allanean government. "Welcome and our greetings from the prefecture, i am Diplomat Alaria starfall, special diplomatic envoy to Allanea, please provide our
group with landing vectors." The message was sent as the shuttle and its attendent escort of 'Raetes powered towards the blue planet.
