OOC: My fleet is trapped on the other side of your empire, or an arm of it, or whatever. That's a problem

IC:
To the honorable Sskiss:

We, THe Federation of Stellar Nations, Are in a predicament. The majority of our fighting vessels are on the far side of an arm of your empire, with no way home. They will be runningout of provisions shortly, and their ships will be damaged, causing poor living conditions among the ships. WE ask of you to sign a truce with us so that we may bring our ships and men home. We will allow you to send an escort to bring them here to make sure they are on legitimate buiseness, but they are needed on the far side of our borders of influence, and they are unavailable.

The Federation of Stellar Nations

Within the Lisss' Khaa' Siss ("Matter teaches Harsh Law") starsystem a torpedo/missile base in far orbit around a binary planet system, fifth out from it's G5V primary receives an urgent "other" [alien] transmission.
...................................................

Hisss' Skaww, a lowly "moniter of silent farspeech" [comm operator] had recieved the transmission, immediatly related it "to those of dominance" [superiors] who in turn requested dictates/orders from those of "greatest dominance/highest" Sskiss [system rulers?].

....................................................

After several hours the alien fleet had recieved the following message from the Sskiss within the orbital - It was short, blunt and to the point....

"Others!" [aliens] "You are enemies/invaders!" You ignored our "call of permission to enter territory!". "But we will not hunt/devour [attack?] now"... "Here are the coordinates/path to return to your territory of origin. The path is long, and some of your brood likely die/cessation of existance".... "Ration your food/the dead can be eaten/consumed to sustain the lives of the living". "Do not stay/deviate from this path and do not enter our territory... "You will be watched/observed always!"

"We can do nothing else"...."And do not enter/invade our territory again"....

OOC: You are given coordinates that will take you around the rimward border of our space. The journey will be approximatly 600ly in length - assuming you are headed toward the Sol system.

Bump.

OOC: Hmm.. well, seeing as my country is conquered (at least for now), and my fleet has lost all contact with them, you won't be reciving any offical message.

IC: The Devastator Fleet did not recive the message, and continued on they voyage. The Helion system, however, did recive the message. A reply, sent by a one of the rebel factions, consisted of this:

"The Devastator and it's fleet have disapeared. We have no idea where they went. Due to their disapearance, we have been underdefended, and we were attacked and conquered by the Federation. (East Coast Federation). If you are willing to give us self-governing powers, we will gladly join te Sskiss Empire of you can remove the Federation from our space.

Any supposrt would be hlpful. We have few weapons, fewer vehicles, and have very feew people activly involved in resisting. We-"

*sounds of gunfire and shouting*

"They're here!"

*more gunfire, explosions, then static*

Green Sun offers aid to help rescue the Stellar Nations without bloodshed, if the Sskiss will allow our non-military vehicles to enter their space and lead the SN fleet out.

OOC: i'm stellar nations, i just don't want to log in as them.

The fleet is not able to get back. They have lost all communications with this part of the galaxy, and are qquite a ways across it by now.

They are now their own fleet/country (Me)

See the Legends thread, started by Stellar Nations

The Imperium would like to aid the Skiss in ridding themselves of these aliens, by any means nessecary. The great Daemon God Emperor acknowledges the 'strength of the star farers' and offers you the aid of the black warriors who wield the fire that burns as a thousand suns. We shall aid you in anyway we can; and you shall know of the glory of the Imperium.
We stand ready; your potential allies...

Bloodshed is not necessary, Chronosia. We can get them out with nobody being hurt so the fleet can return and serve their new goverment.

We are hundred of liight years away from sskiss space, and have no idea where we are, and no one else does either!

have fun finding us. the galaxy is a large place

We are not dealing with you, Green Sun. As always, the Imperium has agendas that must be followed. You are not one to question the will of the Emperor.

We are not questioning nor are we resisting your judgement. We are merely suggesting an alternative to the death of people who do not deserve to die. They are helpless and need help.

Green Sun is searching the borders of Sskiss space for the Stellar Nations fleet. If Sskiss finds them before we do, please do not open fire on them. Guide them to our TowShips and we can help them and they'll be out of your hair, err, scales.

OOC: First, ISF Devastator has a good point. The galaxy is indeed a big place. Second, I'd like to add that ISF Devastators' location would only be known if he decided to make himself known. That is, if he decided to communicate with anyone else, including us. That, or if he decided to enter our territory or he come to close to our borders and was detected.

My first post assumed that he had contacted us and his communication was detected and received. We reponded, giving instruction and that's that. The rest is up to him.

One other thing, as far as we're concerned, we are in a state of war. Any alien force entering our space WILL be attacked unless the alien force is a member of the Restored ESUS.

And given the recent events (see the thread, "A Call For Help") this is understandable.
