Altraxia Nightwatch, yea))

On the edge of Hycron's Inner belt of planets, a Covenant exploration fleet exits a swirling slipspace portal. due to the distance, the fleet consists of 2 Reconnoiter Class heavy corvettes, and 1 Divination Class Heavy Destroyer. the Fleet moves in on the Planet, scanning nearby asteroids. the Ship's weapons are off, but their shields are up. They continue moving towards the least developed planet in the system

gearshift48

Brank ahead of them, they see a small corvette fleet, though it was more like a classification lower than corvette thanks to the oversized scale of covenant vessels. There was 20 total, over a small station refueling.
they had yet to notice the large vessels as they dident expect anything and were basically just chilling in place to refuel

Brank

||This is Covenant Expeditionary fleet Forward into Victory, Unknown vessels, please identify yourselves.||

The Corvettes received that transmission, and shortly after notice the massive violet ships.

The covenant ships power on point-defence cannons, but nothing else. They cautiously approach the ship, still a bit under a light second away.

gearshift48

Brank a suprised voice answers the call
”uh, this is Captain Zycon of the Hycron defence fleet, leader of forces in the area and the colonization effort. Please state purpose for arrival?”
he seems surprised that they even made contact, or he just wasent expecting it.
”please do not advance further into the system from your current position at the moment”

Brank

||Very Well. Request to send a Shuttle to dock with the station.||
The Hangar of the Divination Class Opens up, and out goes a Purple Shuttle towards the station, which stops before it gets too close. the Ships themselves stop as well.

gearshift48

Brank “...permission granted. Please head to the station, we shall meet you there.”
a hanger bay opens for the shuttle

Brank

gearshift48
The Shuttle's Plasma Thrusters come alive with a bright purple flare as it zooms to the station, before stopping, and landing inside the station, hovering a few meters above the ground, as a Sang'heili Floats down in Red Armour. A Zealot.

gearshift48

Brank two soldiers and an officer are there to meet them. Though the armor looks humanoid they aren’t human, atleast don’t seem to be by their bright fucking neon orange eyes going through the helmets eye holes.
on their backs they have rifles that look like somthing a modern military would have, as in 2020 modern. on their belts is what looks like sword hilts. The officer has a small crown fixture on top of his helmet, and further gold and orange markings on the shoulders and over the chest.
the officer speaks “greetings.”

Brank

gearshift48
The Soldiers see that the Elite is Wearing a Deep Red Combat Harness with a Flat, Broad helmet. the Armour has Flowing Blue Highlights made of Strange material. He Has some sort of Alien-Looking Weapon on the Side of his Leg, magnetically Attached. The Weapons has to Parts connected by a Handle, and is a purple Colour, made of the same material as his Armour. On his hand is some sort of Gauntlet over top of his regular Combat Harness' Gauntlets, it seems to have an angled slit at the front for something to exit it. He stands about 3 meters tall, and has double jointed Knees, one of the joints facing backwards.
"Greetings, humanoids. I am Vat'iva of the Kel'thulian Empire, I and this Fleet come here in Exploration. Who Might You and your Nation be?"

gearshift48

Brank "i am Captain Zycon, and these are my Liutenants Arcane and Creviator."
"we are from the elitrian empire, acting as guard for this new colony."

Brank

gearshift48 "It is an Honour to meet you. It seems our Exploration led to much more than just another Empty planet or lifeless Star. Would it be Possible to Speak to your Higherups? We may be able to... Help you with this Sub-Par Technology."
His arm Flicks, and a Bright Cyan Blade, about a Foot long, and a quarter-foot wide. The Blade Glows, lighting up a small area around the Zealot. He flicks his Arm Again, and the Blade Dissipates.

gearshift48

Brank "hm, we may get you into contact with them. though our technology might be a bit less low tier then you expect?"
he presses a button on his own hilt and a bright orange sword blade appears over it.
he disables it as well
(battle of the show offs)

Brank

gearshift48
He Lets out a Slight chuckle, before Speaking.
"Very Well, Inform me when they are Prepared to speak, I will be waiting for them aboard my Dropship"

gearshift48

Brank moments go by after the captain sends a private message out. Then, in the corner of the system they see a warp gate recloak. A massive ship, around 4.2km in... width? Apperently it was wide rather than long. a small fleet followed it, by covenant standards the fleet behind had 4 battle cruisers and 6 light cruisers, along with 20 various shuttles and frigates. One of the frigates began to move towards the station while the rest of the fleet stood still.
the superiour had arrived.

Brank

gearshift48
The Covenant Ships look at the large ship, unimpressed and confused as to its width. The Zealot simply awaits for the frigate to dock.

gearshift48

Brank the ship docks. from the other side of the hanger, the door opens
"hello there."
4 gaurds are behind him as he walks into the area. hes a bit taller than average compared to the rest and no he doesent have his sword drawn
"zycon, good to see you... greetings Vat'iva. it is a pleasure to meet you"

killercat625 a small fleet with a cruiser and 6 corvettes sits docked at a rather large station orbiting the main planet of the system, with various other light orbital defences further out through the system. the planet below is heavily urbanised and several other small planets through the system seem to have large mining operations started on them

A survey ship appeared on the edge of Elithrian space.

Brank

gearshift48
He bows his head slightly, before his 3 mandibles begin moving
"The Pleasure is all mine..."

(sorry for short reply, not much I can do just yet)

The ship was taking pictures with its LRIGs, logging the data.

gearshift48

Brank "so then. what seems to be your proposition for coming here?"
"you asked for a higher leadership, you now have it here."
"sorry if i am rushing this a bit but it is quite difficult running a colony heading into a entirely new galaxy..."
