A Call to Arms (Empircal Expansion/FT/Open)

It started with an explosion, at least for the Katroa (http://www.gothic.no/lostsouls/starscream/predator.jpg) of the planet designated 'X7718' in the Library. A lone hunter of one of the many clans which formed their planet's government sat, inspecting his armor. He was the one who reported it to the Clan Council, the one who alerted the others. The one who survived.

All the rest saw was the blinding flash of light and the mushroom shaped cloud billowing up, a hole in the light green sky.

"At roughly 0900 hours, Lonun Time, Battlefleet Hydra opened fire upon the settlement of the Quickclaw clan, Latitude 51.5002, Longitude -0.1262. All life in immediate area confirmed dead. Biohazard troopers laid boots on ground at 1000 hours." The ship's VI read this out in a robotic, monotonal voice. "Order 912 given at 1030 hours, all encountered Katroa have been summarily taken captive or executed."
"Excellent. Dismissed." The VI nodded and disappeared, leaving the room a dark blue tone from the light on the ceiling. The man who the VI had spoken to looked through his quarter's veiwport on the jungle paradise of X7718, now aflame and lit by the flashes of thousands of Templarian Soldiers. He turned on his heel, put on his mask and left the dark room, heading for the Briefing Room.

The corridors were nearly empty, the crew either at stations or celebrating a victory in the mess. Those that were in the halls immediately turned tail when they sighted Grand Marshal Aries (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/9/93/SithStalkerCloseUp.jpg) moving towards them. Eventually, he came to the entrance to the briefing room. Seemingly a blank wall, he placed his hand on a panel, which slid up and revealed a camera. After a moment, the door hissed and lifted up into the wall.
"Lord Aries, welcome to Odin's Eye." In the center of the small, circular room there was a small, circular table, lit from above by a small, circular ring of lights. Only his chair was empty, the other 11 filled by everyone from Sky Marshals and Lord Generals to Ordinators and Drones. He took his place and cleared his throat. This had no real effect, as his throat had long ago been replaced, other than making a harsh metallic growl which made the assembled people look at him.
"The attack was successful. Our soldier's are on the ground, facing little serious resistance. Minimal losses in high population areas. As many enemy warrior as possible are being captured, the rest executed, and we have total air superiority. A wonderful start to our new Sphere." The assembled nodded. "We will mop up the remainder here, let our garrisons get fortified then move on to our next target. Agreed?" Again, the assembled nodded. "Very well. Now, onto a more pressing matter..."

OOC: Basically, Void Templar is having another expansion to their empire in a circular radius,hence an expansion sphere. Your government can react this how they will, help out those who are being attacked, help the Empire out or just remain neutral. Or, if you want to, be one of those races that are being attacked (you can use whatever race or puppet nation you like for that).

With a silvery-blue flash 4 Shadow Species Alliance battle ships droped out of warp.
The lead ship hailed the templars:
Hail to you, children of Kal. The alliance has recived word of your expansion and the Shades have, needlessly, consulted Kal, he has comanded us to aid you, his chosen

"TSS Vessels, we thank you for your aid. We are staying planetside for another day, then moving on. You are welcome to stay with our armarda until then."

OOC: Sounds good, actually. But you do realize that VT is on a warpath and it'll mean a rather bad first contact for our nations :D

"Then we shall do so, you like assistance with the mop-up operation? The hunters have been needing to get out for a sacrificial hunt for a month, we had to use our backups this time.."

All the citizens of the Soviet Empire waited and watched, after the nations stunning victory to control the planet, it was launching a ship into space, to start a colony on a planet else were, to expand,

The Battleship Despoiler detected the flare of energy from the planet on it's long range sensors.
"Sir, ship launch detected. A basic model, appears to be a colony craft."
"Is it from the expansion sphere?"
"Yessir. Planet-" He checked the library records. "X7713."
"Very well. Mark it as a target, and launch an Interceptor wing."

A dozen Hornet class (http://www.anthonyonline.net/stuff/images/V-wing.gif) LRI (Long Range Interceptors) dropped from the underbely of the Battleship, then made an FTL jump to the Soviet System craft. They appeared just within visual range of the craft, and stayed perfectly still, awaiting a response.

The Cosmonauts saw the Void craft, and were puzzled, they sent footage to the planet and tried to radio the craft, Cpt. Boris Trot hailed them

"This is Boris Trot, of the craft Red Revolution, what are you and why are you in Soviet Space"
Void Templar

The Hornet's sat still, ignoring the hails, before sending back a recorded message a minute later. It was a sermon by a Kalist priest about the glory of Kal. Again, they waited for a response.

Boris was done wasting time, he put the ship bask on curse and ignored the Void ships

Immediately, the crafts sprang to life, firing ion shots before hugging the hull of the ship. The craft was scanned, and a report was sent back to the Despoiler.

(dang, i had some bad spelling that one post)

Boris and his men grabbed their AK-97's (Basically a high tech 47) and they set up, waitng for the people attacking them to enter, as they tried to radio the planet

"What is it chosen ones, what have you found?" Shade-captain Ko'vash asked the templar comander over the comm as the intercepters jumped away.
