The Delta Quadrant: the home area of the Hyperborian Khanate. It was in what was called "Unkown Space". The Hyperborians had controled over onky a small part of the Delta Quadrant. But it was a Empire that was war-like to those who threated it.
But The Hyperborians knew also how to look out for threats and posable allies. Tp make sure that Hyperborians did not get killed needlessy, the Hyperborians sent out Probes to check out areas, or send Scouts when Probes couldn't do to find out.
Two Scout Ships were sent into an area in the North East Sector of the Delta Quadrant to see if there were Worlds to Conquer or ally with.
As the probes passed by a seemingly humongous nebula near the very edge of the Milky Way, they would begin to record many things about this particular nebula. First off, the probes would notice that several ships were passing in and out of the nebula at complete communications silence. Ships would come out, and then vanish in a small, barely noticeable flash of light. Seconds later, similar ships would return via a similar flash, and then dive directly into the seemingly inhospitable space-scape of the nebula, disappearing completely from all forms of wavelength scanning. This would repeat several times, the ships barely a few hundred thousand kilometers outside of the nebula before appearing or disappearing.
The second odd occurrence was the very, very frequent receival of transmissions that were obviously very, very old. Such things as ancient Earth television shows like Howdy Doody and Deal or No Deal would constantly emit themselves from the cloud. These transmissions were coming in clear as day, as if the cloud itself was transmitting these emissions. In fact, it was, as temporal scans would show that several large tears in the fabric of time and space would become very visible via these scans.
Thus, the third odd occurrence would become apparent. How was it that these ships were so easily passing through the nebula cloud that seemed rife with very dangerous phenomena? Each of these ships, which were completely unmarked, just came out unscathed. These occurrences would definitely warrant attention, but the obvious factor was this: if it hadn't been for the probes coming into this sector, whoever these people were would never have been noticed in a trillion years.

The Two Scout Craft were nearing the Nebula. The craft were made to go into Nebulas, so they wree known as Kath-Norgans or 'Nubula Riders' in Hyperborian. The Saucer Shaped Ships were to go in to the Nubula and find out what was in there.
'and to hope it is not a enemy.' Capitan Namayo said. He was a Vixenian, a type of Foxtaur alien that was conquered by The Hyperborians back in the Gamma Quadrant, before being forced out by the Shivans. He and his three other Crew members wer to find out what The Probes ould not, find out was was in thet Nebula.
The othe Ship was Hyperborians in it.
The Two headed for the Nebula at Sub-light, since it would be suicide to go at Hyperspace speed into The Nebula.

As the two ships began passing through the nebula, they would suddenly find themselves back outside the nebula from where they had started. Oddly enough, they came out unscathed as well, but it was pretty obvious now that this nebula was very abnormal and would probably need more studying before they could pass through it to find the origins of the ships that seemed to come in and out of the nebula without much care in the world.
((I hope I'm not asking much when I say that I want you to be more descriptive and more analytical about your RPing. I've already given you some important data about the nebula. Take some time to think about your next post before you go rushing head-long into this nebula. Re-read my last post. Study it. What is odd about this nebula? Why are the ships only coming in and out through one point in the nebula cloud?
Consider this post your "Get out of jail free" card. I will not be so nice about this a second time.))

"Ok, That was odd." Capitan Namayo said, thinking something was in fact.......odd with that Nebula, something not normal about that Nebula. "That Thing can't be real!" The Science Officer soon said. "I hate to agree with you Ransimyu, but I think you are right." Namayo said, "The Nebula has to be some sort of Hologram, Projected from some type pf Satellite." "Ok," Ransimyu said, "But how about how we cme back to where we started?" "Teleported back," Namayo said, "Like someone wants us to keep out. Well, of we can't go though, we will go around it!"
The two shipsd soon headed for the other side of the Nebula by going around it.
As the ships continued around, a lone, cloaked fighter would follow behind them, running passive on all radio and wavelength frequencies, trailing the Hyperborian ships at quite a distance. It would casually run visual scans of the ships.
Meanwhile, the two Hyperborian ships would soon get a decent view of how large the nebula was as the combination of their efforts and the efforts of their probes showed that the large, anomalous object proved to be completely encompassing of whatever was inside. Furthermore, the readings they were getting were starting to make little sense. They could hear languages that were long dead, and languages that had not yet been invented. Brief visuals of the future would appear on their screens before fading without a moment's notice. Still, the unidentified ships continued their way in and out of the nebula, completely unhindered. To make thing even more strange was that, after a time, they would come across a second similar phenomena of ships as they moved farther to the "South" of the nebula.

Something was going on here, and It was Scareing The Crew. Hyperborians and the races they conquered had Supertitions, and had a fear of Ghosts and Spooks. Namayo decided to run for it and report it as hunted.

As the ships began to turn tail and run, a large ship would suddenly appear right in front of them. Then a second one to their left...then another to the right...then another from the rear...another from the top...and, finally, one from below. Each of the ships was slowly closing in on them, boxing them in, guns targeted right on them, but not firing. That's when the ship in front of them deployed actual physical grappling claws to grasp the smaller ships, hoping to catch them.

"What the hell are these Things?" Namayo Asked, in fear, The Vixienian was scared wiltless with seeing the alien ships. "I Think that we have a problem," The Sensor Controler said, "They have us trapped" Knowing The problem was against them, Namayo knew that there was not other way. He soon sent a Messenge to the Alien Ships, one that the Hyperborians never did before.
