Union Space, Kron Fortress System outskirts
On the outskirts of the union empire, their radar would present 4 foreign, unidentified bodies, which upon jumping in the said system, headed towards a planet. Just after them, 3 other signals appeared on the radars - these ones just "warping in" instead of the more conventional FTL drive, and catching up to them in a rather big ease. The 4 ships, union turncoats, had assaulted the neutral halcyon scoutships and injured a halcyon - turning the squadron of rather harmless seeming ships into a hateful, murderous force.
They gave chase - the 4 ships having tears in their hulls, burning, and sending mayday signals, denouncing themselves as pirates and bandits, and requesting to be taken prisoners - a move which usually would be taken if the pirates expected to be annihilated.
The 3 halcyon ships, smaller, had some battle scars, but didn't seem to take much impacts beyond that - this could be taken as many possible ideas of how it occurred, but at the end of it all, the union had turncoats, right in their territory, and a small groups of other turncoat ships moving in to assist them.
The halcyon ships were a foreign force, and those small ships, for their sizes, packed quite a punch. It was a good idea to investigate - at least to prevent the possibility of the union turncoats having turned an entire faction hostile to the union.
There were 3 ships, all pristine white in colours, or at least before the battle, their hulls showing burns and slight denting. They didn't mount turrets, instead having armoured linear guns, and surprisingly mobile, functioning more like huge fighters/bombers than frigates.
The alien ships were broadcasting to them to take their death with honour in union employed communication and language techniques - an alarming sign that the union turncoats had done likely done the first contact.
Sadly, the radars didn't give much more info beyond that.
Captain Timbale watched as the signals from the running ships and the unknown ships chasing them came into range on the sensors. It was an odd event however border was was usually oh so boring. This however was different than the norm. "Sensors what can you tell me?" The man below her on the sensors replied very quickly "Seems the rebels are on the run ma'am, they only got a few small ships and their making top speed towards this system, as for the other signals I got no idea, their not recognised on Union databanks. Looks like this could be a first contact" Timbale nodded "Hmmm the enemy of my enemy is my friend, lets hope they want to be friends... How long until the rebel units enter weapons range? I also want a com link open to the other ships now" The master of armaments replied "5 minutes if we make an intercept course" Timbale nodded to do it and helm responded instantly as the Battlecruiser and its two Escorts lurched forwards. Communications nodded to Timbale that a link was open "This is Captain Jane Timbale of the Union of Worlds, Identify yourself immediately" She said in a not so threatening tone, she didn’t want to make enemies... They could confuse her with more of the rebels after all... However she waited for a reply.
The small group of halcyon warship continued to stride forth, the small ships facing towards the enemy formation, gaining up in speed with ease, and firing. A hail of dimensional tear weapons and heavy artillery cannons were fired from the small ships (Sword ships carry 2x collapsar beamers and 1x large plasma artillery). The halcyons crewing their ships were still enraged at the attempted murder to one of them. The damaged ship, in the formation, was held behind it's brethren. The impacts fired from the union turncoats weren't stopped - instead weakened to be deflected and weakened further, those getting through the armour simply doing minor scratches - who ever they were, these people weren't kidding around.
The ships continued to broadcast to the turncoats, telling them to take their punishment for their atrocious and uncalled crimes.
Timbale watched as the unknown ships didn’t reply, just kept broadcasting some sort of death threat, the rebel ships were almost in the fire envelope of her fleet however she looked to weapons control "Do not fire upon those unknown ships, fire at the rebels, if we take hits from the unknowns we will only fire back if provoked" He nodded "Ma'am! Entering weapons envelopes!" A shout came over the bridge "Alright fire!" Across the Union ships Mass Driver rounds and Phase missiles flew into the void towards the rebel ships, CIWS tried to counter them and did a good job at such, but the ships were already far too damaged by the 7th Legion attacks to be able to take the hits, shot after shot slammed into the rebel ships and along with continuing barrages of 7th Legion fire the ships either detonated or broke apart. A few escape pods were launched and Timbale turned round "Get those escape pods on board" The she opened up coms again "This is Captain Jane Timbale of the Union of Worlds we come in peace, please respond. The enemy forces were rebels who have been corrupted against our nation. We are a nation of peace. We mean you no harm"
The halcyon ships let the escape pods free, freezing up in place, one of the ship - one which hadn't fired it's "artillery" opening it's long "nose", revealing a large cannister - seemingly housing a nanotechnological piece of equipment, as the ships gathered up, repairing.
"Greetings to you, people of the union. We are 7th legion, a clan of the halcyonic empire. We apologies for the scene, and any problems we have produced - but your degenerates murdered an envoy. We wish for peace."
The ships faced away from the union ships - aiming their weapons away, which were as armoured as the ship, and not mounted upon turrets.
There was a collective sigh of relief on the bridge as the tension died down. Thank creation... Timable thought, there can be peace after all. She signalled for the weapons to be retracted and all over the ships Mass Drivers slid back into covers and turrets retracted back into the hull, reducing the Union ships to their usual non threatening appearance. She smiled on the vid com "I am honoured to meet you those of the 7th Legion, my condolences for the loss of an envoy... I am sorry to hear that, currently the Union is embroiled in civil war due to a cults corruptive influence however they do not reflect our peaceful nation. Perhaps we could meet and discuss potential relations between our people?" Timbale said happily
"This would be an excellent course of action for both our people - one we would be more than happy to follow. "
The halcyons relaxed - the tension was calming down - two of the ships warping out, and the weapons sealing up.
"I am Seraphim Hermione, and would be happy to continue this meeting by your culture - we are in your territory after all"
Timbale nodded and noticed her crew were smiling, she shook it off and replied "I can have a meeting to be organised on my ship if you so wish, we have conference rooms for such meetings, if you wish to accept of course you have full permission to dock in our hangar bay. However we can always choose another place to hold it if you prefer?" She asked.
The female halcyon, a dark breed, nodded. Her crew were rather happy with the way things were going too.
"What ever would be simpler and better for you, madam."
Timbale nodded "You may dock when ready" she cut the link with a smile and stood up "XO you have the bridge" She turned and made her way slowly to the hangar bay, she had told the marines to meet her there as an honour guard. However they would more likely be there. As she made her way into the huge hangar she could already see lines of marines assembled in battle gear weapons holstered in honour of their new guests. She received a notification that the 7th Legion shuttle was on its way and would be arriving shortly. She smiled and straightened her dark blue uniform and stood to attention.
The halcyon ship disappeared from the radar, warping right at the docks - a cut appearing on the side, shards sheathing and distorting as a large entry was made upon the sword ship. The Seraph Hermione was standing at the entrance, wearing a scaled robe, and a chest plate with her shoulder plates on.
Beside her were two halcyon guards, dressed in their armour, with the helmets. A shield held the atmosphere of the ship, as both ships docked fairly smoothly. Hermione was a dark breed, with a panther fur, soft amber eyes and medium length midnight blue hairs.
"Greetings."
She gave a small bow, the guards doing the same.
Timbale bowed slightly and saluted, bringing her right fist up to her breast, the Marines did the same "Greetings Seraphim Hermione of the 7th Legion aboard the Union Battlcruiser Dragon" She smiled "If you would like to follow me we can go to the conference chambers and begin discussions. I’m sure we have a lot to learn from our two empires" She said gesturing.
She nodded, following walking in. Both the guards remained inside their ship.
"Please lead the way"
Timbale smiled and led the way, the marine stayed put. While the Captain took Hermione down the corridors of the ship. The ship was bright and clean with large corridors, multiple people and races walked past and saluted as they made their way to the conference room. From the elven like Cylaurians to the Crustation like Godoroks and the Insectoid Violar. The came to a a large door and Timbale gestured for it to open. Inside was a large flat holotable as well as chairs dotted around it. Timbale gestured for Hermione to have a seat and sat down at the end of the table and booted up the table, the cool blue light filling the room. She flung away from random blocks of text and ensured the table was clear when needed "Please do sit down and make yourself comfortable Ma'am"
"Thank you."
She smiled, giving a soft bow, then seating down comfortably, looking to Timbale, ears raised.
Timbale decided to start "So... you were sending an envoy to us? Before the rebels attacked i mean? You heard about the Union from an outside source?"
"This is correct. I trust your people detected the psionic wave when our citadels came to Ancerious. We have been told of your people by the United State of Minerva. Our ships were mapping the area until we encountered your turn coats... And from there, the first contact went sour."
Timbale nodded "Yes we did receive some sort of signal however we were unsure what it was. And ahh yes, our new allies, they have proven to be very kind and we hope to return the favour for them. I apologise for our rebels... We are trying to deal with them as best we can however they seem to have been able to block our sensors to some degree until you damaged them"
She grasped a disc from her side, passing it to Timbale.
"This is an analysis on the way they block your sensor technology, it should prove helpful to your people. It seemed strange to us for them to cloud their own technology, but now I understand why."
She placed her hands upon the table, smiling.
"And hopefully, our people can have a solid, fresh start"
Timbale was slightly taken aback "I... I thank you greatly for this! With this the rebels wont be able to hide all their forces... The civil war will be won much quicker. And we can count this as a fresh start. As you have a gift for me my friend I shall have to get one for you" Timbale took the data disk and began scanning it on the computer however she also took out a data crystal and handed it to Hermione "This... Is the collective history of the Union of Worlds. I hope you find its contents helpful when determining our future relations"
Hermione smiled, bring it to her with her psychic, and looking to it, only to store it in her satchel, and pulling out a datapad for Timbale.
"I had the same for you - after all, there is never enough information"
She passed it to Timbale by psychic.
"This is compact information of our culture, ethics, basic history and arrival to this place. If you have psychic, you will be able to access the data pad directly, if not, you can read it analogically using the holographic interface"
Timbale looked puzzled "No... I’m not familiar with psychic powers, i mean the only beings of us who have that are the Angels and the Angel Guard, but they are back home unfortunately. however I'm sure we can send this back for analysis" She said smiling.
She nodded, ears lowering.
"We have assumed this possibility - and the data can be accessed through normal means - the data being stored in a disc. "
"Are there any informations you would need?"
Timbale smiled "Excellent in that case I shall survey it and send a copy to high command, Also... how did you get to Ancerious may I ask?" Timbale asked puzzled.
She averted her eyes, shifting a bit in her seat.
"It's... a rather heavy story.... But to keep it short.... We came here by accident. I can provide you of a report of our entry if you need."
Timbale held up a hand "That’s not necessary, I understand how it might cause you problems. But with you here our contact could take place" She smiled "I have to say I look forward to what ventures our two peoples will work on, your weapon systems on your ships are very interesting indeed, I expect the RnD department would be drooling to get a look at them" She said laughing.
She then added "And your talk of psionics... will interest a great deal of people back home"
"Depending on our future relations, this may be an option"
Hermione took note of things mentally, ears twitching and raising, then lowering again.
"And hopefully, the future relations of our people will be good" she said smiling.
Timbale nodded happily "I expect they will be, from the looks of things we will get on excellently. Though I would have to say, as a Captain of the Union of Worlds I am authorised to made alliances and other non aggression pacts. If you wish we could solidify something here and now, perhaps some trade agreements or a peace treaty" She said with honesty.
"Our people do not involve in commerce, but we would be happy to enter a neutral treaty - and a better one, hopefully, in a near future"
Timbale nodded in agreement "I think that’s an excellent idea, if you wish to make it official I can get a document for us to sign detailing a non aggression pact of neutrality" She said with a smile
"Something to build on at least for future endeavours"
She nodded - rather liking the way things were going.
"It is a good idea. Please do so"
Timbale nodded and went to work, she used the holotable to select the template of a non aggression pact and chose the one she wanted, she then had it printed from the edge of the table on an ornate piece of paper, she then proceeded to take a very ornate pen from her pocket and signed her name "I Captain Timbale of the Union of Worlds hearby sanction this non aggression pact with the friends of the 7th Legion" She smiled as she said so and then slid the piece of paper over to Hermione to sign.
Hermione, being a Seraph, spoke with authority, and read through the pact. Happy with what she read, she signed it, in the behalf of the 7th legion. With this in mind, she signed the document.
"I, Seraphim Hermione of the 7th legion, clan of the halcyon empire, declare peace treaty with the people of the union - granting them free and uncontrolled passage through our control zones, and free access to our repair, maintenance and refuelling centres - were their ships, both military and civilian, to need it."
She looked to the paper, then handed it back to her.
"Could you make a copy please?"
Timbale smiled "Of course I was planning to do that now" She took the paper back and scanned it into the table which then again printed another replica out which Timable then handed to Hermione "A digital copy of this will be relayed to high command where they will fully sanction it, don’t worry its very rare that they ever turn anything down. Besides with the benefits it brings they are bound to accept it, Feel free to come to Union space when you wish and use our facilities however watch out... for you know, rebels"
She nodded, smiling.
"Our people are going through a large scouting, and mapping operation of this galaxy. You may see an amount of our ships warping in your territories, only to warp out. We are looking for a specific type of tear in dimensional fabric of space."
She leaned forth.
"I hope this does not cause an issue."
Timbale shook her head "In fact we may be able to help with that, we are very confident in that we know most of the Empires in this galaxy as well as a great deal of the space, I can forward a starchart for you with everything we know on it" She said smiling
"We are not exactly interested in the map of the galaxy - our psionic outcry mapped it for us. We're looking for a very specific dimensional tear. "
"We can provide you the psionic map we have, if you wish."
Timbale shook her head "It is fine, we have our own maps which we rely on, However I have to see this has been a rather interesting day, border duty is usually quite boring" She said laughing.
She chuckled, nodding.
"Our time in this new galaxy has been anything but boring."
She smiled, looking to her.
"Are there any other matters to attend to?"
Timbale nodded "Not much, though you might be pleased to know the Prisoners we took in the attack will be taken back to Mirach to be charged with warcrimes. They will get their just deserves. However again my condolences for the envoy, our thoughts go out to them creation rest their soul" She said sincerely.
She nodded.
"Thank you very much. We leave their justice in your hands."
She bowed her head.
Then rose to her, patiently looking to her.
Timbale bowed slightly too "Apart from that i think we are done here. Seraphim Hermione, from both me and on behalf of the Union it is an honour to have met you and your nation today. I look forward to greater relations in the future, this truly is a milestone for us both, a momentous day indeed" She grinned and saluted.
She got up, giving a bow.
"The same applies to your people, Madame Timbale."
Timbale nodded "I will show you back to your shuttle my friend, then I must write my report... lots of paperwork" She said smiling as she gestured Hermione out of the conference room and back to the hangar. Another friend had been made this day and Timbale was glad to be part of it.

Timbale shook her head "It is fine, we have our own maps which we rely on, However I have to see this has been a rather interesting day, border duty is usually quite boring" She said laughing.
She chuckled, nodding.
"Our time in this new galaxy has been anything but boring."
She smiled, looking to her.
"Are there any other matters to attend to?"
Timbale nodded "Not much, though you might be pleased to know the Prisoners we took in the attack will be taken back to Mirach to be charged with warcrimes. They will get their just deserves. However again my condolences for the envoy, our thoughts go out to them creation rest their soul" She said sincerely.
She nodded.
"Thank you very much. We leave their justice in your hands."
She bowed her head.
Then rose to her, patiently looking to her.
Timbale bowed slightly too "Apart from that i think we are done here. Seraphim Hermione, from both me and on behalf of the Union it is an honour to have met you and your nation today. I look forward to greater relations in the future, this truly is a milestone for us both, a momentous day indeed" She grinned and saluted.
She got up, giving a bow.
"The same applies to your people, Madame Timbale."
Timbale nodded "I will show you back to your shuttle my friend, then I must write my report... lots of paperwork" She said smiling as she gestured Hermione out of the conference room and back to the hangar. Another friend had been made this day and Timbale was glad to be part of it.
