RP Introducing Trifexians [IC - Free]

Drathian Military Base, Dratheim System
The compound was busy with Drathian personnel rushing from department to department, carrying information from one commander to another. There was panic amongst them, an unknown alien fleet had been registered travelling the nearby Veila system. This would normally not be a concern for the men, but during a time of war such as this, cation and worry had flooded the minds of the higher ups. There was trouble, though, legally the Drathians could not dispatch an intercepting fleet unless given approval from the Federated Colonies, who held all territory surrounding the system. Likewise, they also needed permission from Fylkja Zlasa in Andromeda, who was currently preoccupied with a meeting with the Keltaken Empress.

Rather than waiting around for a transmission from the Colonies giving them a go ahead, a message was instead sent to the unknown fleet of ships. Should they lack a response, or rather, recieve some sort of cyber attack, the Drathians would know for sure that this was an Abyssal fleet. The message was sent in holographic form, showing a flickering blue figure of a Drathian commander on staff at the base. However, it was perfectly able to be recieved by audio as well, leaving the method of viewing up to the discretion of the recipients.

Even if it took some time, the Colonial Defense Network noticed the unknown ship that was wandering through the edges of the Colonial space in this area of the galaxy. As per the order of the O.K.F. (Oberkommando der Flotte- the High Command of the Fleet), two battlestars were sent to the general area, unfortunately without their usual escorts, as heavy battles were being fought around Line Victoria, and rumors about an Abyssal attack on Kiel A had started to spread.

After jumping in the area, the C.M.S. Admiral Graf Spee, and the C.M.S. Admiral Scheer, started to deploy their fighters. You could never be sure, with the Invaders being everywhere. While communication between the Dartheim System and this unknown one ship fleet was detected, the Colonials choose to ignore it for now. The Invaders were good at illusions, weren't they?

On board the two battlestars, the situation wasn't that good. The crews were exhausted, and the morale was pretty low, a situation that was present among many of the vessels of the Colonial Fleet. Continuous fight with the Invaders wasn't something any nation could do, and slowly but surely, the Colonies were losing their ground.

After arriving in the area, deploying their fighters, and taking the unknown ship in target, a message was sent audio as a start. At the first sign that the ship was actually and Invader trap, the two battlestars had their orders to fire, destroy, and then retreat, the tactic that was now the most used by der Sternflotte. The message was sent in various galactic languages, from Galactic and Colonial Standard, to other more unknown languages.

Attention, unknown ship. We are the GS-5 Fleet of the Federated Colonies. You have nearing to the space of the Federated Colonies. Considering that the Federate Colonies are in a  state of war, you are for now, considered hostile, unless proved otherwise. Please identify yourself and your purpose in this area, in which there have been many reports of the presence of Abyssal fleets. Failure to comply with this message will result in the fleet receiving permission to engage. God bless the Federated Colonies.

Drathian Military Base, Dratheim
There was an audible sigh of relief from the commanding officer of the base, General Stetz 'Two-Homes'. He was a lean, muscular specimen, with purple skin that had little more than a scratch on its surface. Indeed, Stetz was so new to his position that the most marks he had on his body were the jagged black tattoos that webbed across his skin, and all Drathians had those. His moss green hair was cut into a low mohawk, with a double braided beard covering the bottom half of his face The most combat he had faced was during the Dratheim Disease Crisis, where he had been leader of a few expeditions to save civilians that were threatened by the undead carriers of the experimental diseases that the Colonial government had been quiet about. From there he had risen through the ranks through military mind, rather than military might.

He sighed not because he was tired, though. He sighed because the response from the now identified 31st Torchbearer of the Trifexians had been confirmed not to be an Abyssal vessel. Or, as the Colonies called them, Invaders. Still, he needed a way to contact the strangers. Without permission from the Federated Colonies, a Drathian ship could not legally enter Colonial space. That was a problem, given that every inch of territory surrounding the Drathian outpost in Dratheim was claimed by the Federated Colonies. Stetz had to find a way to get to the Trifexians.



Soon afterwards, he sent a second transmission to the Trifexians. This message, like the last, was in Colonial Standard, which was almost universally spoken throughout the Milky Way.

Several carriers and void ray and star fighter squadrons moved swiftly through the blackness of space 400 kilometers away from the Drathian outpost, obviously trying to get in contact range with the Trifexian Torchbearer. When they did, they sent a message to the Trifexians in Colonial Standard(yes, most Eldari understand and are able to speak at least a bit of German because of their alliance to the colonies).

"Greetings, strangers. Seems your seeking for resources, are you not?"

The Federated Colonies

The GS-5 Flotte der Kolonien
Colonial Military Ship Admiral Graf Spee ( AGF-36)
Colonial Military Ship Admiral Scheer( AS-47)

 A message was sent from the Graf Spee back to the Trifexian fleet.

To the 31st Torchbearer, of the Trifexian fleet, this is the GS-5 Fleet of the Federated Colonies, made up by the C.M.S. Admiral Graf Spee and the C.M.S. Admiral Scheer. While we must apologize for any inconveniences, as we are currently at war, we will have to scan your ships to be sure that you are not Invaders. It wouldn't be the first time Colonial ships encounter Invader ships covered as ships of other races. You don't have anything to do, but please do not open fire while we perform the scan.

Regarding the nearby gas planet, from our records, it's not inhabited, so it's not a direct part of the Federated Colonies. You are free to colonize it however you want, and take whatever resources you want. However, if you find any Opilium mineral deposits, we will be forced to confiscate them, in accordance with the 456/53124 order of the Colonial High Command from 3171.

Since this is the first time our nations meet, we would also like to propose a formal establishment of diplomatic relations between the Federated Colonies and your nation, although the current war might delay any relations.

After receiving the message from the Dratheim system, a response was immediately sent back


Detecting the unknown fleet approaching, the Admiral Graf Spee and the Admiral Scheer entered full alert once again, launching the rest of their fighters and contacting Zentral for reinforcements.

Attention, unknown fleet, you have hereby violated the sovereign space of the Federated Colonies without any prior warnings or announcements. You have entered a sovereign space which is considered a warzone. Please identify yourself or you will be considered hostile. I repeat, please identify yourself or you will be considered hostile.

Veila System
In warped three Drathian ships, all of which were the lighter Murderer Class rather than their larger Cannibal counterpart. Despite not being the best armed vessels in the Drathian arsenal, they were still top of the line. A mission as important as making contact with a new alien race demanded more than the generally less effective metal ships. Instead the full display of the Drathian Space Monster Corps was in need. Approaching the Trifexian ship, the DSMC Spriggan, distinguished by the horns on its maw, hovered side by side with the alien vessel and turned its head towards it. Opening its jaws, the creature slithered its tongue from its mouth, where a group of troops were standing, clad in suits that would protect them from the vacuum of space.

The Trifexian ship would recieve yet another message, this one again in Colonial Standard. However, the audio coming from the transmission would seem to be of much lower quality, likely because it was coming from the microphone within the Drathian's suits rather than the ship's communicator.

The Eldari fleet sent back a message, 

"We are Eldaro Protectorate ships, or for your own convinience, the Daelaam. Sorry for not making no prior warnings or announcements. Anyway to our new visitors..."

The fleet then answered the Trifexian Torchbearer, also in Colonial standard -
"This is a fleet of the Eldari Protectorate, and we are an ally of the Colonies. We were able to detect your transmission to the Colonies, so we saw what was your objective here. Be careful in this system. Abyssals infest the fringes of the Outer Colonies"
