A patch of empty space above the planet becomes considerably less empty rather suddenly, the VSA Unnoticed Whisper diplomatic vessel Switching in.

"I am a representative of the Vaiaelon War Pact, arriving as requested. I await docking instructions."

The VWP vessel is met with no instructions, instead, just a simple, and cryptic beep in their radars. It comes from the surface of the barren planet, or rather, a few km deep into it. A deep fracture, obscured within the dark side of the planet, unlit by the small star, seems to be emanate the signal. Within, metallic structures, and a platform big enough to land a fleet on, with some varied ships already present.

Fort_Master_Gustav With a dim flash and the low humming of EMdrives, the vessel only slightly larger than some fighters appears just above the platform before touching down. A lone robed figure dismounts off the ramp, their face obscured.

Dumb

Fort_Master_Gustav as the core levitates from the pedestal,a projection of a womanly figure is formed with the core as the middle. The projection, obviously a hologram of sorts, seemed to be quite bothered by what just announced "Did you just say all comms will be cut...? well this, as you can see, is the only way i can be in here, and it sorta rely on some rather long range signals...so how would i can be in the meeting if the comms get cut during it?"

"Very well. All you need to do is send short-range signals over to aproximatly the radius of this planet's core until the star, where some kind of station needs to receive the signal and relay it back to the forge. We can supply the ship, or you can do it on your own."

Dumb

Fort_Master_Gustav "We would appreciate the help, as we are not capable of such actions due to the scarcity of vessels for us"

The figure speaks no more. However, a few minutes after, a ship about 100 meters long appears close-by to the planet, and soon, a link between the hovering piece of technology used by the Forge and the ship is stablished, with the ship being used as a sort of amplifying station, sending the signal back to the forge.

Once again GBE warp drive is heard. This time it's a LRDSCC. (long-range deep-space command centre)
It starts deploying drones the surface.

The surface of a barren planet is, as expected, barren.

Another broad-wave transmission soon overtakes it, like an announcement for the whole system:

There will be no combat within this system, as long as the deal is to happen, and is happening. Anyone that tries to attack any other member present here will be dealt with accordingly.

"Stubborn people of the Imperium. Dare assault our ships and we'll pull you down to hell with us."

KrankysFirebrand48 (I'm landed on the planet with all the other ships on the surface... Why...)

Fort_Master_Gustav The drones also survey the “fracture”

KrankysFirebrand48

Fort_Master_Gustav ignore that I’ve missed some stuff

”Who are you and what do you want? I hope this is important because dumping space trash with coordinates is kinda fishy.”

The fracture is quite occupied with ships of multiple well-known and not-so-well-known integrants of G-S16. On the side there seems to be many etchings with elevators operated by simple levers, they seem to go down.

Fort_Master_Gustav One of the drones deploys a probe which hovers over the ground. It floats of to the elevator, enters it and deploys a robot arm that pulls the lever.

The elevator beckons the figure, its operation relying on a simple lever.
