After years of preparation the testing of parts the development of self repairing materials, the first FTL explorer/ colony ship was ready to set out. It was called Duren VI.
10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...
the massive antigrav booster units lifted the craft into geosync. They then dropped off.
"igniting ion drive" the blue glow of the ion engines propelled the ship to the outer rim of the solar system past the last station, Graham station and defence line.
"entering hyperspace in three... two... one." the ship appeared to stretch for a second then disappeared traveling to the system designated A145, the only system thus far found to be habitable.

*TAG* for possible participation

In a secrete military base in the mountains of a planet called Crone an alarm goes off.

"Sir, we have a ship coming out of hyper space headed toward our planet." reported an officer at a computer.

"Send them a message asking them what their business is." replied General Allucard.

General Allucard turned around and spoke to himself saying..

"So there is other life outside of Shiomi after all."


Message to ship:

To: Incoming Alien
From: Planet of Crone

We wish to know what is your business in the solar system of Shiomi. We will need a responce withing 3 days or we will destroy you

End Message.

Aboard The Subspace Listening Post Inquisitor-359

The men aboard the listening post quickly indentified the new ship as it had traversed the subspace corridor it had created. The path having been burned in an extremely obvious manner. The commander, as per procedure, ordered the ship tracked to it's destination. At the same time, orders went out for a sensor lash, an extremely compacted sensor ping, that would give intricate details of the unknown ship but quite possibly allowing the ping to be detected. As well, a call was sent out for an investigation of the ship, still of unknown origin.

"What is that?" questioned the captain of the Goliath Class Star Destroyer, pointing to a small signal on the scanner.
"We are scanning the vessel now sir... It appears to be a colony ship, designated the Duren VI, headed for the system A145. Shall we attempt communication?" "Yes," replied the captain, "And put us on course to A145. I want to see that ship." "Yes sir," said the Lieutaniant while walking to the COMM station. "Send a message to this ship"
To: Commanding Officer of Duren VI
From: 1st Lieuteniant of Star Destroyer Leviathan
We would like to make contact with your Leader. We would also like to know the reason for passing this area of space.

a claked star destroyer droped out of transwarp decloak raise shield and arm weapons said darth sorrow the captain of the acendant justice aye sire said the crew

Hyperspace ten minutes out from A145
((OOC thats my designation its unlikly that we would have the same))
"Captain we are recieving multiple hails." he was supprised, for they thought they were the only race.
"Reply on all frequencies possible"
"channel open."
"This is the AIS Duren VI," he paused thinking of the ramifications of his next words. "We are a colony ship sent to investigate the system and coonize it for our race. We hope that we can maintain diplomatic relations with the contacting races."
-End Transmission-
"Sir we are being scanned."
"Let them they will find out we are telling the truth"

OOC: tech base isn't done but not this its slightly more advanced then "canon" star wars statistics (other than FTL travel) with technologies from varied sources. for now here are the ship's stats:
speed: 90% c; 1 ly per hour
Defences: Point defence laser grid, proximity missiles, low capasity shield grid, 2" carbon nanotube-nutronium-naquadah composite. ( renders lasers ineffiective), and a nutronium hull renforces with multiple bulkheads and independant sections.
offencive weapons: 5 turbolasers, 100 photon torpedoes
sensor system: 1ly range

General Allucard and the rest of the base waited impatiently for a responce from the alien craft.

"Sir, what if it's mission to find races and destroy them then recolonize the planet?" said Allucard"s advisor.

"There you go day dreaming again Jon." replied General Allucard.

"Sir incoming transmission!" shouted a worker.

"Very good patch it through." said the general.

"This is the AIS Duren VI," he paused thinking of the ramifications of his next words. "We are a colony ship sent to investigate the system and coonize it for our race. We hope that we can maintain diplomatic relations with the contacting races."

"Send a message back to them stating that one of our moons named Ulanda can be used to set up a colony in a trade for alliance." said a man standing behind 2 security gaurds dressed in black and red.

"P....President Bowen sir, if you don't mind me asking why aren't you still on Kelzul, your home moon?" asked Allucard.

"Well lets just say I missed this place." said President Bowen.

The Bloodline cruised through T-Space, its sensors cranked wide open looking for the evasive TCG. They had attempted to start galaxy spanning wars not once, not twice, but at least three times within the last few years. As a result it became endangered to be a ship from their navy.

"Captain, there appears to be a large number of ships ahead."

"Is it the TCG?"

"Negative, there are no familiar transponders there except from Sephrioth."

"That might be bad news. We haven't seen them for a couple hundred years. Remember the Titan Incident from the history books? They attacked our colony at Prospero and Cam III reacted. Hopefully that is old history. Contact the ships to see if they might have some information or sightings of the TCG."

"Yes Sir."

Minutes later the Interceptor Destroyer (http://balrogga.beldragos.com/interceptor.htm)faded into view as it Emerged into Real Space. The sensors on any of the ships would have immediately registered the small 120 meter ship because when in Real Space, it possessed the mass of a small sun and the power reading were almost off the scale.

The destroyer held position a short distance from the other ships. Its spines slowly flexing in the aether of space, the ebon hull seemingly alive. An open message was sent to all vessels in the area.

This is the Imperial Destroyer The Bloodline from The Balrogga Empire. We are hunting war criminals from the former nation known as The Cassiopeian Galaxy. We were wondering if you have happened to notice any?

"Sir, we're coming out of lightspeed. We should be within visual range of the craft. We are conducting a thourough scan of the area for any possible threats." "Just to be safe," replied the captain, "bring our gunners to a yellow alert, bring shields up, and put a wing of fighters out there." "Sir, your shuttle is ready if you would like to make contact personally." "Yes, I would. Have my squad of marines and a translator droid ready." The shuttle lifted off, unfolded its tri-wings and circled around the ship, waiting for permission to land.

"Sir, we are getting a reply from one of the vessels."

"Which one?"

"The Sephrioth vessel, The Ascendant Fury. Here is the message."

After listening to the message, Captain P'Lar seemed to think for a moment. He then quickly composed a message and sent it off.


Greetings Ascendant Fury. Your sentiment is much appreciated reguarding these scum. I am curious as to why there are so many ships here?

coms mine was on deep space patrol hunting for rebels we hate the tgc as you do

The reply from The Bloodline:

Well, we don't really hate them, we are only obliged to end their existance under the dictates of the G'Than'Dehr. What are the others doing?

if was it not mandeted by our blood feud with them we we would join with you the empire was in hiding

Moments after the message was received, a return was dispatched.

If you detect the spoor of any TCG ships, please let us know and we will join in the hunt. We will remove them from the Universe much the same as a preditor culls the sick and weak from the herd.

I assume from your lack of weapons fire there are no enemies present in the other ships?

that is most correct the sephrions blood feid is our total war

"Captain, it seems either they don't know who the other ships are or they are deliberately trying to distract us from them.”

“Yes, it certainly does seem like that. I asked him twice about them and they didn’t answer us. I will give them one last chance to answer before we go find out ourselves.”

Do you know anything about the other vessels in this system? We would like to converse with them also, but would like to know what is going on before we attempt communications with their ships.

coms a first contact i think weand if we see anytgc we will join you to destroy them

That is fine. We welcome any who would convert their sorry carcases into cosmic dust.

I am going over to the other ships to see if they know anything.

The Bloodline swiftly backed away and rotated, converting the reverse motion into forward motion. The drives kicked in and the ship sped over to where the other vessels were.

This is the Imperial Destroyer, The Bloodline. We are searching for war criminals. I was wondering if you would be able to assist us.

May we open communications?
