Their assumed 'imperials' were infarct not, and was instead an Imperium scout force from the the secluded empire of the Crimson Imperium. It was a small force of vessels, numbering a half dozen cargo ships for supply, a ECM frigate within the center, a light cruiser at the spear of the head, and a number of destroyers and frigates helping form the protective wedge that lied infront of the cargo ships.
Upon the medium sized bridge, the captain sat. His two kilometer light cruiser that lead the force of vessels. Another figure standing next to the command seat he was upon. The Senior officer, a curved femenine figure. With long hair that was a dirty blonde.
"Continue the search of the unknown area, all vessels are to maintain formation as we run the trace. Continue advanced threat recon."
The probes launched continue bouncing signals around the system as they slowly built a map of it, a squadron of fighters with one different craft within the center of the diamond formation flew ahead of the formation of warships.

While the visitors fly off the colony's engineers and architects plan out stuff with the few crew that was left behind by the visitors.
They hope that they can soon build up their Industrial complex and their first city which will start out small but grow
bigger as their capital. They want to make it big in the world.
The first draft of the city should have about 300 Houses, 15 Mines, 20 Factories, lots of Farm land and much much more!
Over time new stuff will be build and some day , the colonists hope, it will be the biggest city to be every build by man or whatever species! Until then it's a lot of time. But the best motivation is ambition, right?

ONI The prowler moves closer towards the planet. Sneakily, it deploys one of its stealth dropships. An Owl-STC with a small portion of the navspecwar team on their craft.
The small subprowler (dropship) eventually lands on the planet. Close by to where there is a bunch of activity. It disguises itself in the undergrowth as the team moves forward to find a vantage point to figure out what this planet is.
The team moves outward. Despite being almost one ton in their power armour the team makes their way across the terrain without a sound. Stopping every 25 steps to lay low to see if they are followed.
When crossing clearings they belly crawl throughout, sometimes activating their active camouflage systems for a short sustained time to get the extra stealth advantage it has.

The colonists were building the first houses, the people were hard working.
The infantery sorta let their guard down because well, if anything tried to land on the planet, they would be contacted by their vistors, right? But one of the soldiers didn't think so. He has a watchfull eye, he never lets his guard down.. or his cigarret. He thinks the others are foolish for thinking nothing can happen, what if wildlife attacks?
Most soldiers carry a few different guns because when the colony first created its security force, it just bought random guns from sellers. It was almost impossible to get everyone the same gun and for that matter, the same ammo. Thats why it's kinda running low. The most common tho is the PG-4 "Staka" a physical 7.62x39mm rifle, mostly no attachments except for the Officer of Security, he had a foregrip. Others just used laser pistols like the XK-12 "Swinger" and many other guns. And body armour? Well only the "heavy security forces (HSF)" had light armour. It counts as heavy for them though, the biggest threat they used to have was a few colonists gone rouge.
But now everyone counts on the HSF to protect them. One of the 5 remaining members is the soldier mentioned earlier.
Most call him "The Eye", but his regular name was Sen. Most see him as an some sort of officer aswell, but since there isn't really a hierarchy in the Security Forces (SF) except "Soldier" and "Officer of security", he officialy is just a soldier. People will still listen to him more than others tho.

"It is working. I do not see the imperials you were talking about."
The Marines say yes and begin to help construct the framework, waiting for the ships to return with vehicles and materials
Brank
"I swear I saw something! It must be them, nobody else would try and find us!"
The Sec-Officer is a bit paranoid about every ship movment that he sees.
AstroDaFloof
"Calm down, it may just be another person picking up the signal, I'll try and get a read on who they are."
@kola2134
Scans of the system and a generic message goes out across the system
"This is the IDS Gleaming Metal of the Infinite Dominion, State your identification if you are hearing this message"
The message repeats a few times

It seems that in the last few days tensions have eased in the colony. Even the people who are more watchfull think it's over.
The life of the colonists is rapidly getting better and better every day, due to the help of some other Faction although they have been pretty silent recently. The visitors are slowly pulling back their forces for no reason. The colonists cheer and wave as the last of the ground lander leaves.
But there still is 1 vessel in orbit holding overwatch, probably to cover the pull back.
An hour later the orbit is empty other than one ship.
The colony seems stable enough at first. 1/4 of their new city is build with the help of the other faction, but now they have to build it alone. That shouldn't be the worst part since their now have a somewhat stable industrial complex with a few mining vessels and 2 factories.
Now the colonists can live in peace... but, there still is this feeling... that tickle down the spine... maybe they aren't alone...
AstroDaFloof The nameless soldiers belly crawl to the edge of a bluff some kilometres overlooking the town. The more superior marksman of the four soldiers slowly props up her larger sniper rifle with a silencer attached. The main optic of the rifle is linked to her helmet as she watches the townspeople walking back and fourth. Her fingers stayed off the trigger as this was a data collecting mission.
The other three soldiers, who’s armour made them look more robot than human layer beside the marksman. Also gathering intel.

The colonists were very happy about finally sorta building up again.
They had a small festival for officialy finishing 1/4 of the blueprints of the first city.
Children were playing around, adults were eating at tables. Of course there were some guards there, but they were rather chatting as they think they are safe. New things are getting revealed by the Sec-Officer like the new mining vessel and some other stuff. Everyone was quiet happy.
AstroDaFloof The team continues to watch the town. Gaining an interest in this mining ship they relay the information to the prowler in space through an encrypted channel.

*After some days investigating the system, they return to the planet, landing as vehicles for construction exit out with materials, helping to build up the city and industry. They report that they found no signs of these people they talk of, and decide, with permission from high command, that these ships will take permanent residence with the colonists as a sort of expeditionary team. The large freighter is filled with supplies, and even has a couple prefab structures, One being a very small military base fit with a slot for a single AA weapon, a small garage, Command Centre, and Armoury. There is also a prefab greenhouse and prefab housing unit, the greenhouse being the largest and most fragile of the structures, taking a few days to set up and begin planting the first crops. Later on a single assault ship warps in, but instead of being filled with legions of troops, it has construction and transport vehicles, engineers and construction crews, as well as soldiers, lots of food and supplies, and some military vehicles such as a single Silverhawk, 2 Attack helicopters, and an MBT. It also carries the plans to put together a small airfield. After it drops off all these supplies and vehicles, it lifts off and leaves alongside the freighter...
Military Garrison:
3 Small Platoons of Marines (60 Marines
Ground Vehicles:
1 MBT
3 APCs
5 SV-22 Gecko MATVs
Air Vehicles:
1 MR-23 Silverhawk Multirole Fighter
1 TH-75 Cyclone Transport Helo
2 AH-33 Havok Attack Helos

Surprised the Sec-offcier looks at the ships that enter the atmosphere.
"Twice the charm, I guess" he thinks to himself.
When the ships land the colonists knew some of securing procedures that they got thought.
The soldiers slowly approach the vessels, even though they knew who they are.
"You never know who you are approaching, even if you do." is what they got thought.
After a brief chat the other non-combat colonists follow up and help with setting things up.
The Sec-Officer is very gratefull that they get so much help.

One of the recon ships returns to orbit and stays there, communicating with the Imperium
//IDN Seer-Class Recon Vessel//
"Understood, We've got the area covered, some lost colonists aboard the planet, we've been permanently stationed to help them out until further notice."
The ship begins doing routine scans and investigating anomalies within the system, planning to map it out for future expansion
Brank
"We believe this system will prove of use in the future, we are going to begin a landing operation."
the flagship beeped as response to the allied ship. They enter orbit over the colony of @AstroDaFloof as the large hangers begin to open wide upon the vessels. A number of craft began to exit from the hanger, their engine noise loud before silent as they entered the vacuum. Beginning their decent upon the planet looking to aim upon the edge of the colony.

The adrenalin of most soldiers in the colony start rushing through their bodies.
"Th-those aren't the ships of our guests..." says one of the soldiers.
Without thinking they take on defensive positions as they see the vessels approach the colony.
The Sec-Officer immedialty contacts Brank "Uhm, we got ourselfs a little situation. There are unidentified vessels approaching the edge of the colony. They totally outnumber us, requesting back up... just in case.."
The soldiers load their weapons, ready to fire once the vessels land... obviously only after they turn out to be hostile...
