Increasing activity in Zankaran space was revealed to be the work of the newest Zankaran Megastructure: Centerpoint Station, a massive, 3km in height sensor station.
Designed to allow high resolution scans of the galaxy, allowing to monitor fleets movements, civilian trade and piracy. On the other side, it monitors both allied and enemy territory.

The station is still under construction, and its estimated to be operational in 1 year, being able to cover 33% of the GS16, and around 3 more years till it is fully capable of monitoring the entire galaxy.

DarkPearl
capable of monitoring the Entire Galaxy?? hmmm.

A Small Fleet of Remna ship arrives, each giving their IDs... unusual for Remna ships.

/TransmissionStart/
"Akross Fleet 3, ID: 8617-II"
"Akross Fleet 3, ID: 8503-II"
"Akross Fleet 3, ID: 8492-II"

"We have noticed that a Megastructure is.. under construction here.. We wish permission to Participate.."
/TransmissionEnd/
Scans would show that each ship has several biological signatures, but no energy signatures besides that of the ships themselves..

Each ship has its few weapons offline..

FangTheCat (this was supposed to be a lore detailing stuff but if its gonna turn into a event i need to think on something quick lol)
The Zankaran outpost in the system, quite small compared to what its guarding, hails the remnant fleet.

//Start//
"Remnant fleet, your willingly to help is appreciated, and we allow you to maintain a single ship to study the construction, but we would like to ask to turn off your weapons."
//End//!

DarkPearl
(Oof. Thought it was an event.. XD )

The Ships' weapons go Offline..

/TransmissionStart/
"We ask that we could perhaps construct one of our own Towers nearby. Used for a similar purpose as yours. To monitor and defend.."

"As a side note, Although we will not require pay, we ask that any Machine-workers or Artificial intelligence Stay A Minimum of 300 Meters away.. as there are a few.. Issues.. going on at the moment."
/TransmissionEnd/

One of the ships go offline, jolting back online seconds later.

FangTheCat
"Understandeble, most of the internal work i being made by machines, but i will instruct my ships to remain 300 or so meters away from you."

DarkPearl
The Three Remnant Ships Move backwards.. ..

/TransmissionStart/
"Upon your megastructure's completion, May we create one of Our towers within the sector?"
/TransmissionEnd/
meanwhile.. Three smaller Remnant Ships warp into the area.. each of this carrying material and supplies..
(won't let me place image...)

On the outskirts of the system, a New Hegemony Prowler lies cloaked, it's comprehensive stealth systems keeping it completely invisible to any and all detection.
Ship Commander Nisu is silent, nothing of real happening had occurred aside from the Voidborn appearing. His Prowler had been sitting in system for at least several Cycles at this point, he wouldn't be surprised if the System was over by the time he returned to his parent fleet.
Incoming Psicomm Wave
What? Wait what? Why is he receiving new orders now of all the times, regardless, he linked to the Psi-Net and read the wave.

Order from [][][][][][][][][][][][]
Sabotage construction of 'CENTERPOINT STATION', this is a level 'NESNA' operation. Plausible Deniability operation in effect, cover story is as follows. A band of terrorists managed to configure a Disruptor Pistol into a crude bomb, they later managed to stowaway onto the station and detonate this crude bomb. You will leave no evidence.

Nisu blinked, he was being ordered to sabotage construction of a station from what could be possibly called an ally. If he were anything but an intelligence operative, he would have questioned the order. That is why he stood up and began bellowing out orders to his crew. He is a good operative, he would sooner die than not follow orders.
-[]-
Deep in the hull of the small Prowler, a team of Procii were working on converting a civilian model Disruptor Pistol into an explosive device. Taking care to make sure that it isn't going to explode unless they tell it to explode.

Undated_Abyss
The Voidborn ships are lead to the Zankaran outpost in orbit around the system star. A light defence, which is intended to be reinforced by Guardian class battle stations in the future. Key word: FUTURE. The commander has zero diplomatic skills, he knows it, the First Officer, an 117 Years old Asari waits the Voidborn delegation on the airlock.

FangTheCat
"I see no reason not too, but i will need to speak to my superiors."
(Great, this is really turning into a event, i need to think on something real quick here xD)

DarkPearl
Two of the Original ships stay still.. while the third begins exploring the area..

"Alright. We'll wait here.. If Any Non-Cargo Remnant Ships Enter the area. They Will give their ID. If they don't.. its not one of us.. and that it should be attacked."

DarkPearl A large green ball of purple sludge, about 300m in diameter, flies through space toward the under constructed station. It is on a collision course, but seems to be breaking up and destabilising the closer it gets.

A huge ship exits FTL near the under construction station.
Time and space seem to fold open around it, crackles of energy surrounding the vessel.

//OPEN TRANSMISSION START//
"This is the Tau combine ship Majesty,
we are here to provide support in the defence of this installation.
Any vessels not approved for access by the Zankarans within our exlusion zone will be boarded at once, or fired upon, regardless of alliegence.
Fifth defence floatilla will be arriving via conventional Echo drive shortly."

//OPEN TRANSMISSION END//

Eventually its protective blast doors open, revealing the all-too common gravity rings inside.

@DarkPearl
The ship sends out a private transmission to the ZIE forces.

//TRANSMISSION START//
"We apologise for the sudden arrival, however a device such as this is worth protecting.
A full force will arrive shortly to assist.
However, would you wish for some sort of meeting? to discuss this station.
We could potentially help ship some things here to speed up the process using the GW."

//TRANSMISSION END//

The ship seems to be sending out its own sensor pings to confuse people, but other than that nothing hostile seems to be happening.

/TransmissionStart/
"Greetings... We are of the Akross fleet, Ships 8617-II, 8503-II, 8492-II. If any Non-Cargo ships Similar to ours Enter the area without giving a Valid ID, Please Fire upon them. We can Confirm if the Correct ID is given."
/TransmissionEnd/

The Third Remnant Ship stops is exploring, moving back to escort the massive ship.. It is clear that the Remna are also preparing to assist construction and defense.

FangTheCat
"I understand..."
The commander is really shocked with the intense activity in the system, as the Station's existence shouldn't be public knowledge till its phase 1 was ready. He proceeds to send an encoded signal to Gamma Vonolavis, the Imperial Capital.

8nathan
The Outpost shots a bright green turbolaser to destroy what they presume is an asteroid, the weapons at almost max range.

Jenwuf
"I see. We have opened a docking bay, we can discuss this further with you and the Voidborn"
The Zankaran outpost opens another docking bay.

A Remna Warship Enters the area via FTL, Giving the following message to all ships in the area..
Akross Fleet 3, ID: 7953.
None of the Existing Remna ships attack it.. each one sending out a green flare to signal that is is safe..
(won't let me place image...)

The ship Attempts to intercept the sludge, firing its weapons and Attempting to maneuver itself between the object and the station..

(The ship is medium-large, not the fastest thing.. will likely take awhile to move itself..)

DarkPearl FangTheCat
Once the first projectile breaches its surface, the whole thing seems to ripple and burst, scattering gooey slime that starts to drift around in a cloud.

8nathan
The Remnant Ship slows to a stop.. .. the Pilots seem confused..
