it was Inevitable, that a civilisation as advanced and unique as the New Hegemony would attract the attention of the Anhysbys, and sure enough, around one day after fully taking part of the STE nebula, they sent a small group.
well, they decided they wanted to come themselves, rather than being sent.
A deep crimson wormhole crackled into existance within the space now under control of the New Hegemony.
from within, a tiny scout sped out.
However, two new wormholes appeared as soon as the scout had looked around for any ships about to ram it.
(cough Darkpearl cough)
and now, three Anysbys Sat in wait, passively scanning their surroundings, to see what was up:
At the same time, they made an effort to scan surrounding systems for Ammonia based worlds.
(it is possible, that NH scanners are advanced enough to get past their natural jamming
(something designed to scan ships, probably will suck at scanning a biological organism.)
so it is possible you might be able to get an advantage immidiately, in both communication if you can utelize telepathy, and working out what they are (age of anysbys, alliegance, Tech, details ect))
