Leo I Group--Cala (M96) Galaxy--Caladan System

When the two months communications and travel blackout due to a very powerful and sudden solar flare had lifted, news began to trickle to the Five Civilized Nations about the war that had erupted in space. With this news, came the shocking discovery that the warp tunnel linking the Caladan System with the Sol System had been severed, the warp relays destroyed. All communications and travel to the Five Civilized Nations colonies on Mars, the moon, and Terra had been cut off. This meant that the 1st Fleet under Grand Admiral Horatio Gates Nelson, dispatched to assist the allied nation of Dontgonearthere was now incommunicado. Even more worrisome was the news that the four colonies of House Ecaz, The Lost Atreides, The Blood Elves, and the Swordmasters of Ginaz were on the brink of rebellion. Shocked, the Five Civilized Nations government sought a way to end this warfare and bring peace back to the universe, along with the hopes of rebuilding the infrastructure lost...

In the Citadel on the planet of Cala, the August Emperor Leto Crusade sat quietly atop his throne, watching his advisers, syncophants, and military commanders argue over the correct response to the tenuous situation. The Emperor was exhausted. It had been two weeks of strenous discussion, while Combined Five Civilized Nations patrol and scout vessels attempted to reestablish the links between the Five Civilized Nations and the center of humanity, Terra.

The Emperor knew that the situation would not be quickly resolved...

---Four Months Later---

Leo I Group--NGC 5033 Galaxy

It had taken the Salamis Class Cruiser, the Shokaku four months to arrive at the NGC 5033 Galaxy from the Cala Galaxy. Upon arrival, it activated its scanners, in an attempt to detect the location of one of the destroyed warp and communications relays.

Captain Johannes Westing quietly paced the bridge of the Shokaku, impatiently awaiting the detection of the relay. He was impatient not because it was his duty, but because he missed his family. Captain Westing's family of wife and two daughters lived on Terra, now completely out of his reach, unless one attempted an eighteen-month long journey, a journey, none of the vessels of the Combined Five Civilized Nations Navy, except for the exploration vessels were prepared to make...

Sighing deeply, Captain Westing sat down at his command chair and waited...

(OOC: This is a RP in which an alien race completely cuts off my nation... The end result will be the loss of all my colonies, except for those on Terra (Earth). Everyone is invited to join in... But, please TG me with your idea first before you post!)
