The small scouting fleet exited fold space and was immediately presented with sensor reading that matched energy signatures. Luceris opened a channel to the Templar ship alongside him. "Seem's we've stumbled upon life, let's hope its friendlier than Zelan prime." he chuckled. He sent a message on all frequencies "Greetings, local empire. I am captain Luceris of the Nexus. I am part of a small explorer fleet attempting to map this portion of the galaxy, I hope it is acceptable for us to converse with you?" the man asked with a smile.
The commander of the opposite fleet rose from his command chair, looking at the flowing ships with great interest. He replied "Well of course, we are looking for new friends across the galaxy to interact with. We greet you with open arms however a meeting should be held to discuss what can be done between both empires". The commander gave a warm smile in return.
Luceris' smile widened "Why of course friend, we would gladly discuss peace with new empires. As said I am Captain Luceris, and my comrade aboard the second ship is Captain Loken. Would you prefer your ship or ours for the meeting?" he asked graciously inspecting the knife like ships.
The captain spoke in a proud voice. "My name is captain Falkos of the Inari empire. I would be happy to board your ship but of course since we have only met, it is only natural that I bring a small amount of guards for protection if that's alright?" Falkos smiled with interest for the reply.
Loken sat listening to the call, "With me" He said looking at some of the soldiers on the bridge, They made their way through the corridors of the ship till they got to the hanger, and found a shuttle ready for them, "Ok lets go and meet these people then, and remember no shooting on sight"The Soldiers nodded as they boarded the shuttle and took off heading towards the Nex ship.
"Of course, that's perfectly acceptable. My comrade and I eagerly await your arrival." Luceris bowed and severed the connection before heading down to the small hangar to await the arrival of the Inari captain.
As the connection was terminated captain Falkos made his way down to the shuttle that awaited him, he was followed by six guards that had smooth and shining armour that no normal man could wear without reaching the highest ranks. Stood in a proud stance the guards boarded the shuttle along with the captain. With a humming sound the shuttle lifted from the floor and left the hanger making its way towards the ship.
"Open bay doors" Luceris ordered as the Templar shuttle flew through and the Inari shuttle landed ahead of him. The men stood at attention as the Inari shuttles doors opened and figures in smooth ornate armour began to walk down the ramp. Luceris inclined his head "Welcome Falkos." he spoke coolly.
The Templar shuttle opened its doors, and Loken walked out followed by three soldiers, "Luceris why am i here again", He walked towards him and turned to face the new arivals, "Hello Captain Falkos, I am Captain Alex Loken of the Templars" He said with a smile.
Captain Falkos replied " Greetings to both of you, Captain Alex Loken what an unexpected arrival. I welcome you with open arms" The six guards that followed Falkos stood at attention ready for their next order. He then turned to Luceris and said "Shall we begin the meeting then?"
Luceris smiled "Of course, if you'd like to follow me." he spoke moving towards the hangar exit and into a small conference room just down the corridor. Luceris gestured for the two following him to take their sits and did the same. "Can I offer you a drink? Water, Wine, Whisky?" he smiled.
"No thank you, I am fine" replied Falkos. He looked at the ships interior with great interest and deep thought, he spoke to Luceris and Alex Loken saying in a intrigued voice "Which subject shall we start with this meeting?"
"I beleive peace would be good starting ground, I'm sure non agression would benefit us both greatly" Luceris spoke tapping on the table to bring up peace documents. "Is there anything you wish to discuss?" he asked.
Falkos smiled in delight and said " Of course peace will be established, however I have a great interest in history of races and study them in time I do not fight for the peace of the empire if we may have access to your history and we will give you ours".
"I suppose I can offer that." he smiled "Many millions of years ago the Nex walked the face of this galaxy as its rulers. We were a strong and primarily peaceful race, with our empire spanning its face as its leaders. Many a race came under our protection yet many more sought to destroy us. It was this that proved our downfall. This race, the unnamed empire projected fleets thousands of times is true size, mimiced allied ships and brought ruin to our people. We tried to delay the inevitable but against them we could not prevail. Our people constructed great artificial worlds, called the Ark's and lived and hid inside them for the intervening milenia. A race of humans calling themselves the Union of worlds Stumbled upon our sealed capitol and woke us from our age old slumber. Since then we have sought to rebuild, to make allies, and to unify this galaxy." Luceris finished, his expression saddened. "Loken, please explain your history to our guest." he spoke.
"Ok then, The Templars started as a group of rebels fighting against the United Krieg Federation, After a few battles, the Templars were losing until the Nex started to support them, Eventually the Leader of the Templars Stokes, fought a finally battle that would decide both races fates, Stokes fought the UKF leader Kurze ending in Kurze becoming paste on the ground and the Templars victorius, Eventually, Life carried on until there was a Mass infection at are home world, causing us the flee and Nuke the planet from orbit, We now are part of the Nexus empire, but are fighting an enemy that wants us both dead. I think thats the most important bits" Loken said scratching his head in thought.
"Fascinating" said Falkos, he thought for a moment before speaking " The Inari empire was founded many thousands of years ago, we are gifted with a great knowledge of military weapons which had allowed us to access space travel and advanced weaponry at a much younger age compared to other races. We have one goal and that's to restore balance to the universe and allow peace to continue and races to prosper. However after many years of peace people argued what would be the best military path to take for our protection biological weaponry or beam. Therefore a civil war erupted and millions have died, it was only a month ago this civil war ended, a team of union marines allowed us to put aside our differences see who the true enemy was. The one you call the Unnamed empire."
Luceris stiffened slightly "You have encountered them?" he asked quickly.
"Luceris are you alright" Loken asked looking at his comrade
"Luceris are you alright" Loken asked looking at his comrade
Falkos replied with a sadden tone. "Indeed. They cause the civil war and killed millions of my people." He paused for a few seconds before saying in a deep voice "They disrupt the balance and so they are a great threat which I will go great lengths to see perish."
"Then we most certainly have mutual ground. I would like to extend the hand of the Nex in friendship and request an alliance." he spoke his face stern.
Falkos looked up and said "An race with the same aims as us has our hand of friendship, we happily accept this offer." Falkos said in a confident voice.
Luceris smiled. "I am most pleased." he signed the digital document and slid it towards Falkos "For peace." he spoke.
Falkos looking down at the document and replied "For peace" before signing the document.
"Is there anything else you would like to discuss? I'm sure trade routes can be established immediately" he smiled.
Falkos replied "Indeed trade routes were my next subject to discuss"
"Excellent, I presume this planet will be an acceptable trade port forour vessels?" Luceris asked.
"Indeed it will be, now that the nexus alliance has been declared we can celebrate as allow our races to flourish" Falkos stood up picked up a glass of wine and raised it before shouting "To our new found friendship, may it last for millennia's to come and let us bring our wrath against the unknown empire to restore balance to the universe".
Luceris smiled and stood raising his "To unity and prosperity between our people. Long may it last" he toasted as the three drank.
Falkos said to the others "This meeting has been very eventful, the next time we speak I hope it is on good terms again friends. I must be off I bid you both farewell" Falkos bowed and turned towards the door.
"Of course my friend, I wish you all the best." Luceris said walking alongside the man towards the hangar.
Falkos was rejoined by his guards who were informed of the new alliance and to spread the news. Before leaving the nex ship Falkos said "We send scouting missions to find the unknown empire, if we run across them we will inform you. So long friend" Falkos turned to the shuttle and walked inside followed by his guards in single file.
"Farewell." Luceris smiled as the shuttle departed. They lingered a few moments more before the scout fleet pulled away and made to jump out of system.
The commander of the opposite fleet rose from his command chair, looking at the flowing ships with great interest. He replied "Well of course, we are looking for new friends across the galaxy to interact with.
