OOC: The following thread is entirely in secret. But some people are invited in: The United Federation of Planets is allowed to roleplay IC and comment, but everyone else are only permitted to make OOC comments, if any. Thank you.

IC:
Aboard Destruct class war-cruiser known as Aries, Admiral Charles Tucker watched as the Thermobaric Spheres hovered into position. Each sphere was connected via a subspace grid permitted by Sphere 1. These spheres formed a blockade around an unhabitable planet in Third Space. One of the techs watched as the spheres made it into their places, and connected to the AI systems.

"Herr, we are ready to initiate the turbines."

"Start them."

"Herr, yavole Herr."

Within the small moon sized spheres, the kemocite powerplants activated. Each sphere rapidly seemed to vanish from site as they orbited the small planet. Thick clouds began to form from where the spheres were once visable, expanding their gravimetic fields. As th cloud clusters connected to the others, the gravimetric fields began to overlap, creating spatial anomalies in the folded areas. The thermobaric clouds soon consumed the circumfrene of the planet.. What appeared to be Blue Jets (Large mega-lightning formations) seemed to begin in the newly created, millions of kilometers thick clouds, launching themselves several hundred kilometers outside of the shell.

"Send in the probe!" Announce the Admiral. A small pod launched from the bow of Aries towards the cloud formations. It passed with ease. Video-transmissions from within the clouds showed what appeared to be some sort of cumulis nimbus like formations, creating massive amounts of mega-lightning that struck the planet, and at times, the technadron pod.

"Alright, bring it back," Said the Admiral. Now here, was what made this a blockade technology at all. As the pod orbited the planet outside of the clouds a single time, it turned back towards the inner shell of the cloud formations. As it drew nearer, the video-transmission became hazy, yet it still transmitted... The pod smashed into an invisibale gravimetric field, suddenly erupting into a great exothermic reaction that rippled some of the spatial anomilies. The thermobaric spheres had done their job and succeeded in blocking the vessel from exiting.

The Admiral turned to a video-transmission system and began to spoke to the UFP representatives: You all asked us to develope weapons and such for you, or atleast some of you did. You asked the FC to create quantum and temporal technologies for you in case of invasion. And we have.. We request opinions and perhaps orders fellow UFP members if you wish to use our newly designed technologies...

Very interesting. We'll be sending a representative as soon as possible.

Very well, said the Admiral,We are looking forward to speaking with your representative.

Jedi Ambassador Jakan Kenobi (no relation to Obi-Wan) has been sent to negotiate a payment for the new weapon. He has heard rumors of such a weapon, but has yet to see if they are true.

His Ambassador-class corvette reverted to realspace, slowing down from lightspeed to sublight. Now, the Jedi gets ready to negotiate.

Admiral Tucker watched as the Ambassadors ship drew near after piercing into the Third Space dimension. The Admiral instructed to hail the ship, his image appearing to them:

Why hello Ambassador Kenobi. We have been expecting you. Now, to negotiations. Let's see... CoreWorlds is in the UTA... 10%... I'm guessing you want production rights correct? CW is in the UFP... 30%... And the Emperor is a personal friend of the Fuhrer... That drasticly cuts down the cost... Let's see... Hmm... Doing math here... Ahah.. 10.4 million USD for production rights, since you have about about a 60%-65% discount...

Ah, you did hear the rumors? Please, tell me in detail what they were exactly?

"10.4 million credits, eh? That's cheap." Jedi Kenobi smiled. "The rumors have basically said that the weapon creates storms that block escapes into space. Is that true, how it works? Also, I would like to know what, if any, effects it has on an inhabited surface and also if it's long-lasting."

Ah.. Yes, it does block all vessels from exiting the blockaded planet. Not even the FC can (As of now) penetrate it. It has no direct affects other than the longer the clouds stay aroudn the planet, darkness sets in as if it were night, and crops begin to die off along with plant life. Also, mega-lightning impact if possible. These huge lightning strikes are known to obliterate large buildings.

"Interesting." Jedi Kenobi thought aloud. It's like an Interdictor cruiser...but much more powerful for it's size.

We are glad such a good ally and friend of the Fuhrer would purchase our technologies.

"I have been authorized by the Emperor to wire you the money, if it was acceptable." The Jedi said, nodding to a guy with a laptop who started clicking away. "Money should be transferred now."

That is acceptable. The Admiral nodded to a tech,The production rights and schematics are now being transferred via subspace transmission.

"Production rights and schematics are transferred." Laptop Guy said.

"Very well." The Jedi nodded to the Admiral. "If there isn't anything else, I thank you. May the Force be with you."
