A flurry of about 12 of Salamander-Null's ships jump in from the rift near the mobilizing forces
((Drones ++ | NWADM | Parts Galore)) ((Absolutely no ABH. Surprise surprise!))
These are like nothing ever before seen in the Dimensional Collective's arsenal - much more advanced and sophisticated than the droneships in the current databases of most factions. It seems they are capable of splitting up, and seem pretty fast for their size. The DC seem to have classified this droneship as a "Tactician-Class Corvette." It is segmented, compartmentalized, each section capable of fighting on its own with varying degrees of efficiency, and each of them seem... highly explosive. Given the situation, these ships might just be a notable threat to the Mak.
An Audio-only transmission is sent securely to each participating faction:
// INCOMING TRANSMISSION: SALAMANDER-NULL //
"Before your eyes is the Collective's most advanced technology they have ever achieved, technology wielded by a new generation of AI. The Collective have been holding the 4th generation back until a substantial galactic crisis has occured, such as this very replicator threat we face now. I am Salamander-Null, I am the sword to bear against the Mak's ever-increasing numbers, for I am designed to counter many replicator-type viruses. This is no exception. Look upon my fleet and take notes - these are the most efficient combatants against swarm-based enemies that can use any sort of matter as a catalyst for their procreation. After you are done taking notes, then take heart, for you and I, as well as everyone in this very sector, are united against a common enemy. We will extinguish these ever-spreading flames for the sake of our survival. WE FIGHT FOR THE GALAXY!"
// TRANSMISSION ENDED //
More familiar DC assets begin warping in beside Salamander-Null's segmented ships, They seem retrofitted with the thermal weaponry, though they don't seem to be as efficient wielders as Salamander-Null. Some of them aren't even meant for combat - Freighters providing quick resupply materials of many kinds line up in groups of two to three - very separated from one another, to make room for entire fleets. The DC are mobilized.
