OOC: This is my first attempt to really RP so sorry in advance if I mess something up. I reccomend that you take a look at my tech thread since my tech is.. diffrent then most. Beyond that, join in, if you want to.


It was time. The Fleet had been assembled, comprising a full third of the available warships, 3 massive colony ships carrying 200,000 people each, and 2 Orbital construstor ships. Telepany was filling up, it needed room to grow. Fortunately, a system was found that was not only uninhabited, but had 2 livable planets, was very close and had a decent, though not spectacular, asteroid belt. Admiral Ixil sat in her command chair. The Flag room was quivering with anticipation, aside from scout ships, this would be the first time any of Telepany had gone back out into the stars after fleeing a dozen diffrent wars. Admiral Ixil gave the order to go into hyperspace and all ships entered as one.


The fleet arrived in the System the scout captain had named Estarta. Estarta2 and 3 were the habital ones. 2 was a forrest world and quite rugged, while 3was at the edge of the liquid water zone and mosly an ice world. 2 of the colony ships, both constuction ships and 2/3 of the fleet headed tword 2 while the last colony ship and the remainign third headed tword 3.


The beginning of the colonisation went without a hitch and the construction ships started to work on the orbital inferstructure that would let the colony be self sufficient.

On the scout ship Armadillo, on silent running (to outside entities, until it acts or gets too close, looks like an asteroid, FYI) in the Estarta system's outskirt:
"Sir, large group of contacts around the planets in this system. Ship directory has no entries for them. Look like some newbies colonising."
"hmm. lets watch for anyone else to show up before showing ourselves."
"aye, sir"

OOC: thats newbies as in "new contacts for us", not "useless new guys", BTW, to avoid offence.
