((Ok since my nation once again stalled in an rp Im restarting))
[J. Forrest Military Center, Underground Level 17b]
Officially levels 15-20 of the underground center of the J. Forrest Military Center did not exist. They were home to the research center of special technologies. Among these was the study of alien technology. Recent archeological evidence have found that the planet was home to another race before the people of prates formed any coherent history. Among the things found was a great ring shaped object. It was made of the element called naquadah. The element was an abnormality in the periodic table not taking any of the standard positions. No one knew the reason but the substance had incredible properties. The material was used since ancient times to multiple the force of many types of energy. It had the highest known melting point and acted as a natural superconductor.
The reason for this ring was unknown until recently. Five years ago a previously unknown scientist discovered how to use the symbols on the ring to create a stable artificial wormhole. It was this amazing discovery that has allowed for the exploration of other planets. The first planet that probes were sent to contained a large abandoned city. The city was a treasure trove on information, the legacy of a race called the Ancients that once inhabited the planet.
Now the city was once again inhabited, this time with scientists that sought to reverse engineer the extraordinarily advanced technologies in the city. It was entirely a military operation of prates and the primary goal was to seek advanced weaponry, but still numerous humanitarian advancements were developed. Still the project had not been revealed to the public and nothing could be done with the advancements.
The J. Forrest Military Center was the home to all these developments. Its computers sought to calculate new planets to explore and also contained the schematics and prototypes for all the technologies developed. These developed technologies were stored in the computers of the base and would be released at a later time.
[General Planet]
Now however war was breaking out.
Tensions have long been rising between the empire of Prates and the other nations on the planet. Now they have broken up in a full scale war. Nuclear missiles had been rendered obsolete with the advent of a space based anti ballistic missile network and the entirety of the war was based on conventional weapons. The Empire of Prates, while the largest nation, was soon on the defensive as the superior numbers of the enemy forces forced Pratese forces back.
However, the technologies obtained from the ancient city were applied to two divisions. These two divisions singlehandedly turned the course of the war. The divisions had divisions within them for land, space, air and sea. These forces were able to use their superior technology to surprise the enemy at every encounter and then destroy the enemy with superior firepower. Within days the enemy fleets were in ruins as the railgun and missile equipped ships and fighters of the first and second advanced forces divisions destroyed the relatively unprotected ships with ease.
The war was soon won resulting in the first full planetary nation in Pratese history. With the advent of the new empire the program which brought forth all the new technologies was disclosed and the resulting technologies also disclosed. Soon within twenty years the entirety of prates was transformed. What was previously an oil dependent society now used nanobots for contruction and hydrogen for fuel. This resulted in a new golden age.
With the advent of all these new technologies the planet became the center of an expanding empire. The next addition to the empire was the moon. It was deemed too risky to use the gate for interstellar colonization and thus only intrasystem colonization was achieved. The technology existed to travel to the stars but the government redused anyone permission to do so. Thus all the people leaving the crowded planet of prates headed mainly to the moon of prates or the two other planets undergoing terraforming.
[100 years later]
145 AU (after unification)
The entirety of the system had been transformed. What was previously a large uninhabited system with the exception of the single habitable planet now bustled with activity. Numerous ships, civilian and military now crossed the great gulf between the planets and moon in the system. Some ships carried with them long connected containers like trains carrying goods from planet to planet. A profitable mining enterprise had been set up on the ring system mining high grade naquadah for the use of the people on the three inhabited planets.
The planets themselves were areas of massive orbitral activity. Numerous satellites orbited the planets along with numerous space elevators that doubled as large coilguns should they ever be needed to defend against pirates and those insurgents which left the planet. The satellites were of numerous types. The main types were weather and communications but others also included large solar collectors which beamed down power to the planet and others still were solar powered particle cannons that could strike out at any approaching hostile craft. The planet of Prates as it was now called was nearly impenetrable and all insurgent activity had been forced off the planet.
Prates itself was quickly becoming a ecumenopolis with large cities covering the majority of the non protected land areas on the planet. The city was powered by solar and fusion sources and its food came from underwater farms or nanobot synthesized food along with shipments from the colonies.
The planet where the new technology all came from was called Ancenlo. It was now home to a large poplation of people which developed new technologies and the entirety of the uninhabited planet. It was also heavily defended seeing as aliens existed and could be hostile. It had a large fleet and numerous supporting structures.
The people wanted to expand further. The entirety of the home system had been developed to some extent with fuel refinement centers of the gas giants and an anti-matter facility on the first planet. All things were developing well. The people however, were curious and demanded to expand. So a fleet was built. The fleet was based on designs found in the ancient database. However the ships were entirely of Pratese design incorporating unique technologies and weaponry.
The fleet consisted of ten ships, a small fleet, but it would be sent out to the next nearest found habitable planet. The planet had no stargate and so only ships could reach it. Thus the ten ships were sent.
[outer system, bridge of the Magnificent]
The bridge was a quiet place. It was nothing like an ancient bridge with holograms everywhere representing maps and system reports to each officer on the bridge. Each person was also hooked up to a wireless neural network that allowed for ease of use with little error. It was an efficient system, a system that used improvements taken from the ancient control chairs.
“All ships are accounted for.” Said a feminine voice in the mind of the admiral.
“All systems green” said another
“Initiate hyperdrive in 3…2….1…” the stars lengthened as the ship went into a hole in space. The hole in space led to the tachyon filled subspace that permeated the universe. It was an amazing thing to watch and the captain called up a visual display on the hologram infront of him. “Beautiful,” he said.
“3 hours to destination.” The entire crew could relax until then. However, soon the time came and the ship emerged from hyperspace. However, all was not well.
“Unidentified ship orbiting the habitable planet. Its intentions are unknown.” The captain issued a order to the ship and klaxons began blaring. “General quarters” could be heard thoughout the ship. A battle might come and the captain had to be ready.

((the player of the ship is open, I am looking for a peaceful person to play the ship, but combatants may enter later.... please dont bring fleets the system is just about in the middle of nowhere or someone would have put at least a reaserch station on it already and discovered my nation))

ooc : it looks like this minus the big bird : http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a354/nihongaz/pioneerclass.jpg

The ship they seen was the Neo Kirisuban Starship 'Kitsune'. A pioneer class exploration ship armed with phasers and photon torpedoes and well able to fight despite being classed by most space going nations as a small starship.

They were orbiting the planet they had tagged as LX4 for now and the sudden arrival of a ship was calmly reported by the tactical officer.

"Captain sama, contact reported."

"On screen" the woman sitting in the chair ordered. The Kirisubans were a warrior people but they lived in peace with each other and the universe. They never surrendered and fought to the death. They even self destructed their ships.

"Open a voice channel. This is Samurai-Captain Jun Hamasaki of the Neo Kirisuban Starship 'Kitsune'. We come in peace."

The message was set to repeat and in all known codes and communication styles.

(ahm a fleet.... a small 100m ship isn't that strong of a ship when faced with 10 larger ships... each of my ships is around 600m in length)
The bridge was still filled with scilence as the audio message played. The message read "This is Samurai-Captain Jun Hamasaki of the Neo Kirisuban Starship 'Kitsune'. We come in peace." when run though the translation matrix.

The captain stroked his chin and thought of a responce before saying. "Ensign open a channel."

"Channel open." came the reply.

"This is the Pratese Ship Magnificent. We have come to claim this system in the name of the Pratese empire. Should a nation already be in control of this system we apologize. However, we would still like to create a colony on the surface of the planet."

"Starship Magnificent. We have no claim on this star system so its all yours assuming nobody else has claimed it.

We have yet to find intelligent humanoid life on this world at least but we can share with you what we have discovered if it will aid the establishment of your colony" Captain Hamasaki replied.

((anyone else here? i wouldn;t mind another ship dropping in))
The captain thanked the other captain and said. "The fleet will continue on to the planet, however, I will stay behind and open diplomatic relations with your nation."

[Planet]
The nine other ships entered orbit around the planet. Several canisters were shot out of the ships that landed in an area close to the ocean. Soon after one could see numerous "liquid" metal tendrils comming out of the ground. These became buildings that soared high above the ground and others traveled over the ground creating black streets before expanding and making other buildings. The colony was under construction and it was being created right before the eyes of the colonists. It would take a week to finish the city to the required size and have sufficient infrastructure to sustain the colony. Until then the ships would stay in orbit with the colonists.

((Sorry Im sick and can;t think clearly)

Captain Hamasaki's science officer was carefully recording this through a temporary satellite they had launched and she was certainly impressed to see the colony being built in front of her eyes.

"Starship Magnificent, whom do we have the honour of speaking to? In regard to diplomatic relations would it be easier for us to come over to your ship or for you to come over to my ship?" Captain Hamasaki gently and warmly asked.

The admrial replied to the captain.
"As our ship is larger it would me better if you were to send over a delegation to our ship. We have a conference room ready for just such an occasion and you are more then welcome to send over a representative for your government."

[In the ship]
The conference room was being preped with the supplies needed for a first contact and diplomatic relations conference.

"then in that case I will take a shuttle over to your starship. I'll bring myself and my science officer but we are honour bound to carry our ceremonial daggers.

I will be docking shortly.

Hamasaki out."

So five minutes later Captain Jun Hamasaki and Commander Hoshi Abe were in a disk like winged shuttle craft which gracefully cut through space.

Both asian women were wearing the red jacket and black knee length skirt uniform with thigh high black boots. On their left hips were sheathed ceremonial daggers.

The Captains comm badge was a pair of crossed swords and the science officers badge was an atom. They were both 26 years old with long dark hair and dark eyes as well as being fine examples of Kirisuban womanhood being small, thin and very pretty.

So they docked after being given permission and exited the shuttle ready to meet their welcoming committee.

The admiral greeted the representatives saying "Welcome to the Magnificent." The then led them to the conference room. along the way he explained with pride the capabilities of his ship.

They passed bulkheads, corridors and numerous other objects before arriving at their destination. The conference room was spartan with few decorations other than three paintings on the walls. The admiral motioned for the two women to sit down before sitting down himself.
"Wellcome to the cofrence room."

Captain Hamasaki did most of the small talk as they made this little journey with Commander Abe content to wait to do her talking when the chance to explain their findings so far.

This ship was a lot larger than their own starship was but the Kirisuban's didn't seek battle out. So their ships were designed accordingly to be fast, agile and easy to cloak.

Heavier weapons were reserved for other classes of ships which generally got referred to as 'battle barges'. These were rarely seen outside the home system although.

So when they reached the conference room Captain Hamasaki thanked the Admiral for his welcome and the Commander opened up her tricorder so he could see what they had found.

One touch of a button and the results so far played back being projected onto a bare wall.

Commander Abe now did most of the talking saying for starters "We've picked up no signs of intelligent humanoid life during our study of this world but it seems very suitable for a colony.

Theres plenty of lower life forms registering as well as plentiful flora and it practically untouched. That fact bothers me."

The admiral stared at the device and wondered what it did before talking.
"The planet is not home to any sentient being and will not have a chance of being home to one for many years. However, we will artificially introduce ourselves into the environment. We will attempt to use as many local crops as possible to allow for the continued and unimpaired proliferation of the local flora. We will not deliberately destroy the species on this planet. It would be very interesting to see how the products made in this system fair back in the home system.." The admiral stroked his chink. "Still that is not the reason we are here. We are here because my nation wishes to open diplomatic relations with any species we might encounter. Therefore we should start this off with the asking of the opening of trade with your nation. However, before we do that we must first also know the location of your systems in order to not violate your territory without previously said permission."
The admiral waited for a reply

Captain Hamasaki then spoke up saying "Admiral, as a Captain of a Neo Kirisuban Starfleet vessel I also can represent my government.

Our homeworlds are in Federal Union space at the following co-ordinates."

She quoted them and then added "our main off-world trade consists of locally produced technology ranging from M-AM drives, shield generators, matter replicators, transporter technology and the like.

We have cloaking devices and weapons technology as well but these aren't generally traded without good reason."

The admrial nodded at the captain's list of goods. The admiral then replied with his own list.
"Our nation makes numerous goods We already have matter antimatter reactors and shield generators, and the majority of our goods are produced by nanobots transforming the abundent elements into common or not so common goods. what is unique though is naquadah. It is the mysterious element that has allowed for our ships to be of this size with a small reactor. It can amplify energy almost one-hundred times greater then the original and has applications ranging from weapons to interstellar travel." The admiral pushed a button and a rolling article of the element popped up in a hologram at the center of the table.

"Gents. This is a routine scouting mission. Probe activity indicates this system might have some value. Now, it's out of our defensible sphere of operations, and we're at war, so we're not going to claim it if there's anyone else there. Strictly scouting."

"Aye-aye, cap'n."

"No salute?"

The tone was mocking, but also ever-so-slightly threatening. Captain Nias was, when angered, not a man to be toyed with.

The navigator saluted, and took the ship out of reality.

Seemingly moments later, the relatively tiny scoutship entered the system. Ships were noticed immediately, and the habitable planet took an immediate backseat to any other concerns the scoutship had.

Greetings. I am Captain Nias, commander of the Lirrian, scoutship of the Republic. Naturally, as we are unarmed, we mean no harm to you.

"Officer of the Watch!"

Captain Milton of the Alversian Battlecruiser APS Forlorn stepped down from his bridge and approached the console. He leant over the young Ensign's shoulder to get a better look at the readings

"What is it, Ensign?"

She gulped slightly before continuing,

"Sir, We're picking up energy readings from this section here. We think there may be a planet here. Should we divert course and investigate?"

"Of course, Ensign. The purpose of this mission is to explore, we might as well explore" Milton smiled and headed back his chair on the raised part of bridge, "Set a course for Sector 901930, maximum warp"

A few minutes later, the Battlecruiser appeared in system and a message was sent

This is Captain James Milton of the Alversian People's Starship
Forlorn, we mean no harm and are here to make contact
with the races in this Sector

The admrial nodded at the captain's list of goods. The admiral then replied with his own list.
"Our nation makes numerous goods We already have matter antimatter reactors and shield generators, and the majority of our goods are produced by nanobots transforming the abundent elements into common or not so common goods. what is unique though is naquadah. It is the mysterious element that has allowed for our ships to be of this size with a small reactor. It can amplify energy almost one-hundred times greater then the original and has applications ranging from weapons to interstellar travel." The admiral pushed a button and a rolling article of the element popped up in a hologram at the center of the table.

Both Kirisuban officers could see the potential for this especially with the development of scout craft which could have the same power as a Samurai class cruiser.

Captain Hamasaki then replied to the Admiral after a very brief conference in Kirisuban "Admiral we could certainly out these to good use. It opens up the possibilities of adding warp drive to shuttlecraft as well as beefing up their weapons systems.

Thereby creating self sufficent scout craft which can extend a starships reach using a lot less power. Even our Pioneer class explorers could benefit assuming the power level isn't too great to cloak the ship.

What would you be looking for in exchange for this technology?"

The ship that responded to the new ship was called Justice. It quickly activated its sublight drive and confronted the unknown ship.
"This is the Pratese Ship Justice. The admiral is currently in a meeting with another race. However, we would like to ask of your intentions and if possible open diplomatic relations with your nation."

OOC: Me, I presume?

The Forlorn raised her shields slightly as a standard precaution although her weapons remained stood down. A message was sent back to the Justice

TO: Pratese Ship Justice

We are here for a purely exploration mission and will be delighted to
establish diplomatic relations with your people. We will await position
until the Admiral is finished with his business

Captain James Milton
APS Forlorn

Milton sat back his chair and relaxed. He could be here for sometime. Not that it really mattered that much, he didn't have anywhere more pressing to be.

((I didn't see your post....))
Two ships moved out from the nine in orbit around the planet. Each had activated its subspace drive and moved at maximum thrust to the two unknown ships that entered the system. All the while the brdocasted a message on all subspace bands saying

"This is the Pratese Ship Justice (Eternal for HT). The admiral is currently in a meeting with another race. However, we would like to ask of your intentions and if possible open diplomatic relations with your nation."
The ships continued on toward the unknown ship. Hopefully some sort of diplomatic relations could be opened toward the new race.

[conference room]
The admiral sat back and thought before speeking.
"there is a great deal of technology associated with this material. It is not a normal element and does not correspond to any known elemental properties. It is a superheavy element that is nearly indestructible and has larger than normal imprints in subspace. It is theorised that its extraordinary capibilities come from its interaction with subspace. Its is therefore beyond my powers as an admiral to authorise the sharing of such technology. However...." He took out a datapad "... These are the coordinates for our home world. Perhaps a full diplomatic team could be sent to the system and a deal worked out between our governments."

Another message to Forlorn
Perhaps it would be better for your ship to go to the enclosed coordinates. The system there has better diplomatic facilities and would be less preoccupied as we are currently constructing a colony here.

Another message to Forlorn


TO: The Justice

Very well. We will proceed to the designated co-ordinates and remain there
until further instructions are relayed.

Captain James Milson
APS Forlorn

"Lieutenant!" Milson barked at the Helmsman, who jumped awake

"Yes, Sir?"

"Proceed to the designated co-ordinates, half-impulse and await my command to move again"

"Yes, Sir. Heading for co-ordinates"

Milson relaxed in his chair and smiled.

As previously indicated, our intentions are peaceful. We are on a scouting mission for the Republic. We merely survey new systems and chart them, at the present time. No doubt it would be possible to send an ambassador to the Republic, should you desire it. I could give you the co-ordinates to Talean, but I would keep in mind that we are at war, and, as such, our FTLi makes most inbound travel somewhat prohibitively long.

Alternatively, I could talk to you here, so we could learn a little of each other, and then a diplomat could be dispatched to your nation, and you could do the same.

The scout began to slow. There was no real reason to keep up a decent pace at this point, but if the new beings turned out to be hostile, there was a good reason to jump away.

Captain Hamasaki looked at the datapad and recorded these co-ordinates into her tricorder.

"Admiral I can understand why you can't agree to this right now. I can send a report home suggesting a governmental visit to the Pratese homeworld although.

Hopefully our two governments can hammer out an agreement but in the meantime we can still talk about diplomatic relations.

Normally we maintain our relations by sending an lightly armed Embassy class starship to a friendly star system where an Ambassadorial crew represent our interests.

I can offer the same deal to your government if you desire this. We prize diplomatic relations highly" she gently replied .

((OOC: Alversia.... I think you misunderstood its the coordinates to my homeworld))
Message to Hyperspatial Travel:
The later would be preferable, a conference center has been completed on the planet by the nanobots, the coordinates are enclosed within. Should you chose to go there the appropriate diplomatic personell are waiting.

Message to Neo Kirisubo:
We would like to maintain a diplomatic mission on your home world if possible. We would be grateful if you could give us the coordinates of the system.

((sorry my headache is getting worse and the medicine really only kills my mind and I cant think for my life right now))

OOC: ah...my bad

"Set course for the Prates homeworld if you please, Mr. Jones" Milson ordered from his seat on the bridge, Maintain half-impulse and keep the shields online. As a precaution, obviously"

The ship shuddered slightly as she started to move and the Battlecruiser (http://s239.photobucket.com/albums/ff167/mreynolds058/?action=view&current=F-ClassBattlecruiserPic.jpg) departed for the co-ordinates, their homeworld.

"Excuse me Admiral. I just need to call my ship so they can send the co-ordinates to your comms officer" Captain Hamasaki gently replied and touched her comm badge.

She spoke briefly in her own language and then touched the badge again ending the call.

"My comms officer is sending her opposite number the information now so you will have this information shortly" she added.

I believe I will return home, and requisition a trained diplomat. That may be more palatable for us both.

With that, the scoutship blinked out of existence.

[conference room]
The admiral waited for the coordinates

[System defence center, primary command bunker, planet of Prates]
The system defense center was the hum from which all orders were given. It was here that all information was collected and compiled into one large presentable body. Now these systems presented the information of the Alversian ship approaching. The command center issued a long range subspace communique detailing the procedure for it to enter orbit around prates and send down a diplomatic team.

"Captain, receiving orders about what to do once in orbit" An Ensign called

"Then I suggest you follow them, Ensign. Do they want us to send down a diplomatic team?"

"Yes, Sir"

"Then ask them for Co-ordinates"

A message was sent to the planet's surface

Can you give us co-ordinates about where you would like a
diplomatic party sent to?

Meanwhile back on the 'Kitsune' Ensign Mai Koto sent the co-ordinates as ordered. With the Captain gone the XO Commander Keiko Kitagawa was in charge and she ran a tight bridge.

One touch of a button and the subspace message was speeding across to the other ship.

((I think this is my last post... mdeicine is about to make me collapse))
A message was sent out to the approaching ship detailing the location of the prepared conference center where the emperor of the nation waited.

A shuttle jumped in, carrying a diplomat, along with a few guards. Nondescript as it was, it moved in towards the Prates ships.

Greetings. I am the ambassador from the Republic. Where would you have us land?

“As I have said, we know where it was; but the most effective way to find anything is to simply go and look. We know the locations of every star the system in question could be around, counting the stellar drift over that time. But even if we attempted to dial each and every address, we still might not find it. And honestly, my servant’s vessel is already in the area…” And with that, Thoth had condemned Ma’at, one of the many others, like him, who were accounted servants of Lord Atum, to another few weeks of looking for ruins of a world described on the Tablet of Ninlil, in Atum’s possession. That had been the source of the extreme long range address that they had determined to be in the distant Pegasus Galaxy, several years flight time, even for the fastest ship in the fleet, a two mile battlecruiser (http://www.necrontyr.plus.com/forumpics/ancient/battlecruiser.jpg) developed from a vague half-understanding of data captured from the Asgard, of which there were only three, assigned variously to Ma’at, Thoth, and Morrigan. On the plus side, each of those three, intergalactic hyperdrive equipped ships was capable of carrying three lesser mother ships within its hyperspace field (http://www.necrontyr.plus.com/forumpics/ancient/battlecruiserunderside.jpg), much as the personal vessel of Atum, upon which he spent as much of his time as on his palace at Mnewer, was capable of housing eight.

Atum had, upon reading the Tablet of Ninlil, something only a few were capable of, had instructed the vessels in question to travel to search of more duplicates of the Heart of Light, a device Atum had recently reclaimed, by whatever means were necessary, and by antagonising the locals as little as possible; indeed, if they were no threat, inculcating them to the worship of the One True God would be a bonus.

Ma’at herself was not commanding the vessel at the time; it was normal for such vessels, when dispatched on long journeys from the territories of Atum, (primarily based in the M15 globular cluster of stars, conveniently in the direction of the constellation of Pegasus, ten thousand light years from the Milky Way proper) to carry stargates for ease of travel and supply, as the Barque of Ma’at did. Instead, this job had fallen upon the First Prime of Atum. Before the other goa’uld now in his domain had learnt to fear the Barque of Atum, with its super-weapon, and the Kull Warriors created by Thoth, under Atum’s guidance, or the seemingly mystical, transmuted, mysterious nature of the overlord himself, they had learned to fear the First Prime Kemosiri Meriatum, the most widely respected and feared living jaffa. One of very few granted the honour of wearing jackal-armour, a symbolic legacy of the original conquest of Anubis by Ra, many thousands of years ago. The one to whom the less-symbolic honour of Captain of the Palace Guard was given.

He it was who sat in a highly polished wooden chair set before a golden throne on the command deck of the battle-cruiser, idly drumming his golden claws on the wood; these were usually the only weapon he carried aside from a miniature, or needed; each was home to a reservoir of paralytic, but non-lethal toxins, and when they were used these were injected into any living thing that they were used on; it was said that he had slain a Kull Warrior with them, and this was true (what was not said was that he had done so once, out of five attempts, in three before and one after, he had been slain in the attempt by the super soldier).

“Report,” he said, as he estimated that they should be approaching hyper-transition.

“Lord-Captain, there is… there appears to be a sizeable fleet around this world.”

“Interesting. Are they goa’uld?”

“No, Lord, nor do their sub-space usage reflections correlate with Asgard vessels.”

“Tune the hyperdrives down to exit hyperspace three minutes of the speed of light from the planet.”

“Aye, Lord-Captain”

“We will see how they react. With any luck, they will not know anything of our designs… But one supposes that apostate goa’uld may already have given them cause to be suspicious. Prepare the tel'tak for launch, instruct them to ensure that they are cloaked...” he was aware, of course, that this wasn't a perfect way to hide, in any case, “And be ready to flee, should it prove necessary...”

“Lord-Captain?”

“We deal with superior numbers. If they are hostile unto us, it is prudent to flee.”

“But the honour of Atum-”

“Will not be served by failing our mission. Scan for the signature our Lord gave...”

“Aye, Lord-Captain...”

OOC: My reason for getting involved here? Preparation for ‘Snakes on a City Ship’ RP, which I shall eventually do. Which will essentially consist of the goa’uld finding themselves an Atlantis. I’m assuming, as you’ve got a drone control chair, (eep) you likely have a ZPM somewhere. The snakes would dearly love to have it, by whatever means (would you like more Naquadah? It’s amazing how much you can get with massive, massive whips) fair or foul.

((yay another stargate tech user.... yes I have ZPMs but I prefer M-AM reactors since they are easier to make... most of my tech is ancient based but I throw in numerous other techs from other places making it a fairly unique tech base))

[Planetary command center]
The planetary command center was managing the movments of the countless ships in the system when an alarm blared.

"Unscheduled ship in system, unknown design, travel originating from outside of the system."

The commander of the based walked over to the officer monitoring that area and said "Have they sent out any sort of message."

"Yes sir, they wish to send a diplomat down, what should I give as a response."

The admiral called up something on the screen infront of both of them. "Give them these coordinates. They are for the lading zone of the interplanetary conference center as designated by the government." The officer gave a nod and the admiral continued on his way.

[colony system]
The justice and eternal were finished with their opponent ships and now turned toward the newcomer. Their sublight engines flashed yellow as they moved on toward the large 4km ship in front of them.

[brdige of the Magnificent]
The captain, having gone to his ready room after the last ship left stormed onto the brdige with one word "report" though such a word was not needed with his wireless neural interface.

an ensign replied to his question, "A large ship has dropped out of hyperspace. We are currently proceeding to confront the ship."

The admiral nodded before speeking "Tactical alert! Shields to full and power up all weapons." More klaxons began to blare on the ship. Crew rushed around everywhere heading to their assigned duties as the ship drew ever closer to the monstrosity in front of them (my ships are 600-800m in length... the military ones at least) Send out the following message "This is the pratese ship Eternal of the first interstellar fleet, unidentified ship you are currently heading into a colonization effort conducted by the pratese government. Please state your intentions."

The message was sent out and the admiral awaited a reply from the large ship of unknown design in front of him.

The Kirisuban officers were resigned to being stuck here during the emergency but Captain Hamasaki calmly tapped her comm badge and gave her orders.

To stay out of this but to run on passive yellow alert for now. Shields and the cloaking device would be warmed up but only activated if they were attacked.

[Ship]
The admiral rose.
"If we are done here perhaps you could leave and our respective governments send their own more official delegation to each other's planets."

ooc im sendin' the wrath of zeus 3500 meters of shirian fury


ic the wrath of zeus exited from warp drive her black abaltive aroured hull blended in with space

[Ship]
The admiral rose.
"If we are done here perhaps you could leave and our respective governments send their own more official delegation to each other's planets."

"Admiral I believe that will be a good idea especially if battle is about to start. We can cloak our ship and perhaps lend you medical assitance later on. We simply don't have the firepower to take a giant starship on" Captain Hamasaki said as they also were ready to board their shuttlecraft and leave for now.

The Neo-Kirisuban's were cool under pressure and this didn't bother them to much.

The diplomatic shuttle entered the system, only to see a rather large ship.

Gents, we'll be along after you resolve this situation, eh?

There was no real desire to get close to the unknown battleship, so the shuttle simply hung in space, waiting to see what would happen.

By now the Forlorn was in orbit around the planet. They remained at a state of alert, although weapons were offline and shields were only at half-power. Milton sat and relaxed in his chair, waiting for correspondance from the Pratens and for the Night Shifft, due to take over at any moment.

Kemosiri smiled, not too hostile an action, all told. “Command-Pilot; return their signals…

The Atumite bridge that appeared in the visual transmission that replied was luxuriant in the extreme; aside from the central throne, and the lesser seat upon which the jaffa leader now sat, there were several opulent, low backed couches, apparently designed for lounging upon. White silk curtains hung over the golden walls of the bridge, and here and there, narrow columns of floor-to-ceiling lights provided illumination that shimmered through these curtains. The crew members of the ship, of which there were only two present, wore, instead of the familiar cumbersome armour of jaffa warriors, cloaks that went over their shoulders and covered their bodies, in granite-grey colours, highlighted with silver. Aside from the presence of a pair of large, black armoured figures at the back of the chamber, there was almost nothing military about it.

Khemosiri himself was dark skinned, with brown eyes that seemed distinctly friendly, and for the moment, he dressed as the other crew did. Upon his forehead was a symbol, of an oval inside another broken oval, depicting a mound, the correct interpretation of which was often wondered at and jokingly argued about by Atum’s followers.

“Greetings, starship Eternal,” he smiled, “be assured that we mean you no harm. We are an archaeological research expedition sent to learn more about this region of space, and although our vessels are, as you can see, armed, we assure you, this is simply because these military vessels are the only ones with the volume and speed that we would have required to make the long voyage here in a reasonable time. We are the servants of the God Atum, and the desire that He has kindled in our hearts is solely peaceful, that we may explore the relics of bygone civilisations, and so gain greater insight into His Creation in order to glorify His name. In the spirit of universal brotherhood and equanimity, however, we are quite willing to lend our assistance, if you could find a use for it, in your colonisation efforts in this region; which is clearly your domain, if you would be gracious enough to allow us to explore the region.”
