[Event] A Challenger Approaches (Over)

Hannizio

The_Devil_Incarnate "If you want to harvest dark matter, why dont you just do it? there is 4 times more dark matter than normal matter in the universe you know?"

The_Devil_Incarnate

Hannizio "Yes, I've heard some theories about that, but the amount of practically accessible dark matter, in our star cluster at least, is much rarer. Things may be different here though."

The_Devil_Incarnate

Hannizio "We get most of the dark matter we use from the black hole holding our star cluster together. Interesting thing about it though is that out of the 4 or 5 black holes accessible to us, only that central one has any dark matter."

Hannizio

The_Devil_Incarnate "That's a very weird anomaly. I doubt that a blackhole would even be able to hold itself together without any dark matter. In fact, without dark matter, there wouldn't even be a star by now. But for now, We will definitely keep the dark matter in place, it may be a prison, but its the best protection we have"

The_Devil_Incarnate

Hannizio "Alright, I do have my orders though, if you can't offer something of value to us then I cannot provide you with the schematics, I apologize, the parliament can be rather incompassionate at times. But they've got us this far so I'm not willing to go against their orders."

May I offer a alternative? We do not use hyperspace, but instead use a FTL warp based system. We could trade that for the schematics.

The_Devil_Incarnate

ZendikaroftheWest "Sure, that would substitute, does your version of FTL allow for the bypassing of celestial bodies like black holes and stars. With our methods getting too close to those will pull the ship out of warp."

ZendikaroftheWest

The_Devil_Incarnate
Yes, in a way. It is not effected by such phenomenon, but does have somewhat shorter range.

The_Devil_Incarnate

ZendikaroftheWest "Yes, this could certainly work, do you have the schematics ready for a trade?"

ZendikaroftheWest

The_Devil_Incarnate
Of Course

The_Devil_Incarnate

ZendikaroftheWest @Hannizio "Alright then, sending over the schematics." Seconds later the schematics were sent to the Nue Gamilas and HDC forces. "An embassy should finish construction shortly in this system, once we've secured and scouted it, of course, once it is complete you can come and establish official connections. By the looks of it, our losses were relatively minimal so I have no doubt that we will eventually have good relations."

Hannizio

The_Devil_Incarnate "oh, I'm sure about that. Sadly we don't have the resources to send compensations. We came here barely alive. A frigate will go first and send a message once everything looks clear. The HDC Halberd will send a new build construction frigate once it is on the other side. It will begin constructing a starbase with materials from asteroids around. This starbase with long range communication equipment will ensure our diplomatic bound. It will be heavy armored and with a bunch of weapons, but we will give you codes to remotely shut all weapons down, so the starbase wont be a thread to you, but every invader Ill give further information once we start constructing"

The schematics were sent, then the transport responds:
May we set up a diplomatic station for further contact?

The_Devil_Incarnate

Hannizio "Sorry, but I can't allow you to do that, I doubt the parliament would approve. Especially with the scuffle that took place here. We will build our own embassy and after we repair relations I'm sure we can discuss the building of the starbase. Anything else you want to bring up?

Hannizio

The_Devil_Incarnate "I think We should be done here now. The Halberd will leave once repaired. The Frigates will stay for further communications."

The_Devil_Incarnate

ZendikaroftheWest "As long as it's unarmed, I don't see a problem with it. I doubt parliament will either. But I personally believe it would be a waste of resources as we are going to build one of our own. But I don't fully understand the logistics of it so there may be an advantage I'm not thinking of. Anyways, go ahead and build the station."

ZendikaroftheWest

The_Devil_Incarnate
it was pulled back, they left a transport

ZendikaroftheWest

The_Devil_Incarnate
We prefer to have our own jurisdction on the station.
A large transport/tug warps in, pulling a small diplomatic station.

The_Devil_Incarnate

ZendikaroftheWest oh, ill change it then

The_Devil_Incarnate

ZendikaroftheWest "Alright then, as far as placement goes, it's up to you." A few of the most heavily damaged ships, now ready to make the journey home, activate the gate and warp back to the Trapezium star cluster.
