Alpheridies a remote planet, mostly ignored by galactic politics, is quite a nice place. The world has many resources which have remained untapped due to the planets distance from major trading lanes. The climate varies but is overall temperate, quite a nice place for a humanoid species to live. About seven million do to, mostly on the northern continent. On the whole an unremarkable backwater.

The planet does have one remarkable thing about it however, its people. Alphreidies is the home world of the Miraluka. Not many people know about the Miraluka, they keep to themselves mostly. This species is unique in that they don’t see. They see really just not in the traditional sense we see. They see through the force. The entire species is force sensitive to one degree or another. All with little formal training.

They have a self sufficient planet with a strong economy. There industrial base is not as large as that of many other planets but they don’t need the industrial capacity of large factory worlds.

The planetary defense force is equipped with gear produced on Alphreidies. The defense force also manufactures it own fighters which have been backwards engineered from material left behind from an earlier war. Capital ships are much more problematic, the planet can manufacture smaller ships; they can’t build much more then that. They do have three Venator class Star Destroyers which were left from the earlier mentioned above. These three ships are lovingly cared for being the pride, and center of the defense fleet.

The Government is that of an oligarchic assembly, with one representative from each of the 23 provinces of Alphreidies. Currently the government is working effectively. There have been times in the past when it seems that the planet would descend in civil war because of a disagreement in the government. A lot of the governments strength can be given to a charismatic leading member who is the de facto head of the government, his name is Dayen Culu.

OOC/ This is my country/planet. I am using Star Wars Technology. I know having an entire country be force sensitive is scary. I have tried to balance that out with a weak military and no training in the force for most of them. What I am trying to go for here is to get my country/planet attached to some major power and then play as a junior ally till I can get up on my feet and figure out how the hell to do this.

Any help that can be offered would be great thanks. /OOC

"<I have a reading, alor,>" spoke the helmsman, "<significant electromagnetic energy readings from a planet in a nearby system, and a number of vessels in orbit.>"

Elias Arinne Ansu, Centurion-commander of the Orar-class missile frigate, Majyce, stood from his black leather command chair. "<Visual?>"

The helmsman shook his head. "<Out of range, alor. Sensor readings indicate three Venator-class cruisers, but I can't get a clear reading on the smaller ships.>"

Elias considered the situation for a few moments before speaking again.

"<We go in under a flag of peace,>" he stated. "<Set a course for the system, and engage the ion engines. Keep a distance of three thousand click, and keep a hyperspace exit route ready.>" He turned to another crewman, "<Set to repeat broadcast on all channels in Basic, Huttese and Mando'a...>"

This is Centurion Elias Arinne Ansu of the Mandalorian frigate Majyce, under
the banner of the Republic. We approach in peace, and present ourselves
without aggression.

OOC: Greetings from the Clan and the Republic. Nice to see a fresh face, especially one so evidently prepared. The best of luck to you, and I hope that we can both profit from this meeting

Along the Mandalorian ships path lay one of the smaller ships, it was a CR-90 Corellian Corvette. It moved to place itself directly along the other ships trajectory. It would be the first ship to go into combat if this ship was to be fired on. The ship had heard the message that had been broadcasted, they had sent a message to fleet command aboard the Foresight, one of the venators that they were moving to intercept and were awaiting orders.

Before the foreign ship came into weapons range word came back from the Foresight. The ship was not to be fired upon they were to be escorted to orbit. That some powerful government official would be on the Foresight by then ready to receive them.

Captain Mar of the CR-90 quickly responded the Mandalorian frigate presence once he had received his orders.

Majyce you are to follow us in system we will take you to the Foresight were you will be received. We Welcome you to Alpreidies

bump

OOC: Eureka 7 tech? I can do that if you want. :)

Note: I'm playing as Loriiea (www.nationstates.net/loriiea) right now, due to the fact that my Loriiea account here doesn't seem to be working.

The Loriiean exploratory frigate punched through hyperspace. The commander gave a wry smile as he looked at the scanner. "Damn, it looks like the Mandalorians got here before us. Ah, well. We can only add credence to their negotiations."

"Might as well follow Republic protocol on these things, eh? Send the obligatory message, as well as the language files."

This is Commander Deceurios of the Loriiean ship Exultant Joy,a member of the Republic. We come in peace. We do not seek to harm your species in any way.

The repetition of the 'we come in peace' line was simple - translators could often see a translation fail with one line, and wars had started from misinterprations. It was best to play it safe.

The Majyce fell into formation behind the CR90, and Elias issued fresh orders.

"<Shields at minimum,>" he instructed the crew, "<Optio Geran, you have the bridge.>"

"<Aye, alor,>" replied the officer.

"<Prep the shuttle and a security team. Five minutes.>"

The CNS Inkana was one of the many battlecruisers sent to explore the universe in all its confusing glory. That included black holes, worm holes, and... well any sort of hole really. There were only two rules: don't get killed and don't get the state killed. A very hard task since everybody for some reason enjoyed killing Cassiopeians even though they were a peaceful folk.

Maybe that was the reason.

Anywho the CNS Inkana was a grand ship, at 810 meters it was the second largest ship of its kind, its kind being the DontPissUsOff class battlecruiser designed for exploration and pwnage. Armed with nuclear missiles and point defense lasers, it was one of the most powerful ships in the fleet. The only fault would be that there were only twenty of them and well, twenty is nothing compared to an entire fleet. But that's not the point.

No the point is that the CNS Inkana would find new life! Its Admiral was excited too, Richard Wright he was called... wha? Anywho the point is this, life!

"You know." John said. "I was in Aios, on a cruiser in fact. Apparently a giant fleet came out of nowhere, that's when the scout ship called for our help. That was the catalyst of building these ships. Then again I doubt a corvette can take on an entire fleet of flying daggers."

His Lt. Admiral, a Victor Ramses, smiled. "Then again you wouldn't be an Admiral and you wouldn't have that fancy grey uniform eh?"

Richard chuckled. "True."

"Sir!" An officer shouted. "Sensors find life on a nearby planet, should we go?"

Richard nodded. "Yes, oh and engage the weaponry, I have a feeling that we might fight somebody..."

The CNS Inkana thus headed towards the planet and found itself a surprise. There were already two nations outside the planet, the Mandalorians and Loreiiates(?). Granted Richard didn't know who they were exactly but, he knew they weren't the natives since there were less foreign ships and... do I have to explain to you!?

Richard raised his brow and saw the various ships. "Well... I've seen these ships before. Or at least, most of them and... what is that? It looks like a dagger, zoom in on those."

The ship's plasma LED screen thing zoomed in on the Venator class Star Destroyers.

Richard's eyes widened. "... daggers. But... not exactly. Do we have a scan on them?"

"Yes sir." An officer said. "They appear to look like a weaker version of the daggers that we faced in Aios and other locations. They seem to be the native's strongest ships, it can be easily outrun and destroyed if need be. This planet is no threat, even though it seems to use ships similar to the ones we have fought before."

Richard scoffed. "I still have an uneasy feeling about this. Either way open a channel so we can alert them to our presence."

Victor chuckled. "It would be quite a twist if their military was as useful as a leaf."

"Quite." Richard simply said.

The CNS Inkana decided to send an open message to all ships in the area.

-- "This is Admiral Richard Wright of the CNS Inkana and I represent the Cassiopeian Commonwealth. We come in peace and we wish to contact your Government so relations between our respective states may continue. We also notice that you seem to be in possession of one of those... daggers, daggers that we have fought in the past. We hope that you are not the type to start a war... we don't approve of warmongers. We await a reply, and we hope this can be the start of a new era of cooperation between states." --

Victor clapped. "Excellent, a message of peace with a subtle threat."

Richard rolled his eyes. "I try."

(Don't worry I come in peace, it's just my country has been attacked by alot of Star Destroyers so that's why we sent a small threat in the message. Anywho welcome to NS and enjoy your stay, and stuff. By the way the battlecruiser looks like the old school battlestar if you're wondering.)

Aboard the starship Phetax, an explorer ship from the world of Tetriarch, a group of Tetriarchons gathered around the Klaryvoyarch Array to hear the beautiful voices of the Miralukan race.

Amongst the Tetriarchons was the warchief Nanuxi, captain of this exploration ship. He was entrigued by this race that could sense others psychic ability as naturally as they could. Nanuxi went to the bridge to make an announcement.

"Brothers of the Tetriarchon Avatarch Dynasty, we have a joyous day today. We have discovered a new race of beings, capable of sense the gift of Tetriarch the same way as we do!" the entire crew yelled with joy and praise. "It is by the power invested in our lord Avatarch, a walking emperor-god amongst men, and by my will, that we send these people the Symphony of Tetriarch so that they will know that they are not alone in this world. Ready the Psykarch Orchestra!"

A group of Tetriarchons gathered around the Klaryvoyarch Array. These were the Psykarchs, known to be sensitive to this power known simply as the Gift. Their minds opened and from them resonated the beautiful and glorious images and sounds of the Tetriarch homeworld. It was a glorious day today. One that may earn the Miralukan the honor of meeting with the emperor himself.

OOC Welcome to NS. That is a very well done post you wrote. Hope to see you in the future.

Occ/ If you guys don’t mind. I am not going to shoot you guys, and I assume you guys are not going to shoot me since you come in peace, so I will skip those that are in system to the foresight so we don’t have the boring flying around, and get to the talking.

On a separate note Edoniakistanbabweagua I am not sure how your physic choir works…So I am going to be guessing that the images and sounds you are broadcasting will show up in the minds of some of my more in tune people. If that is not how it works please correct me and I will redo that bit/Occ

The Three foreign ships had each been greeted by a Corillean corvette and had been escorted into formation with the Foresight above Alphreidies. The Government official had arrived shortly before the ships and was now in the formal meeting room aboard the Foresight waiting for to greet the captains of the various ships.

It was Representative Dayen Culu, the most powerful of the 23 representatives, he seemed to have connections to every major group on Alphreidies, and every major group liked him. He adjusted his decorative eye band, most species were disconcerted by the Miralukan lack of eyes so all Miraluka wore a band of cloth covering the place were their eyes would have been. They were also becoming quite a popular fashion accessory among the higher classes on Alphreidies. Dayen’s matched his smart formal robes.

As Dayen was sitting there he heard a humming coming not from the ship but it felt like it was coming from space itself. Into his mind burst a thousand different images and a thousand different sounds, not much was clear but it was an alien world he was seeing. It lasted for nearly thirty second before it abated. Dayen looked at his aide who was bewildered as well.

“Did you just suddenly have thirty seconds of Alien planet suddenly come into your mind?” Dayen asked.

“Yes thousands of images and sounds all at once.” The aide responded.

“Hmmm perhaps our visitors, we will have to meet them before we asking about latent force powers in their species. If it is not our visitors I am sure we will have some new guest shortly.” Dayen mused to himself more then to the aide as he turned back in his seat to face the door through which the foreigners would enter.

OOC: Yeah I guess whoever is most sensitive to the force can hear my beacon.

He adjusted his decorative eye band, most species were disconcerted by the Miralukan lack of eyes so all Miraluka wore a band of cloth covering the place were their eyes would have been...Dayen’s matched his smart formal robes.


lol sorry I couldn't stop laughing when I read that. How would they know it matched :D sorry ill stop my playa hating

IC:

The Phetax drew closer as the Psykarch Orchestrarch continued its echoing call to the Miralukan, this time adding the message that they were coming. Some of the Psykarchs had already sent a transwarp message to their homeworld of Tetriarch, where the Psykarch Cyfers of the Avatarch would translate the messages into a database and sent to the Avatarch himself.

Nanuxi was at the bridge, preparing the ship for entry. At the communications bay, he sent the following message so as to not get shot down.

"O great Miralukan, we are the Tetriarchons, holders of Protector's Gift. We have come to this planet in peace and hope to establish good terms between our people. We would like your permission to land on your planet and meet with your leader."

OOC I guess this thread is dead then. If not ill still RP.
