Some ships had been lost in the Carnem Wastes we sent an expedition, and one thing led to another and I think we have a large hive fleet headed slowly towards Yss.

>>53551491
Yeah,given that they're from the Wastes,I expected much more than a simple hivemind.It's likely that this is just a hivemind that got warped on its way through.Either way,i doubt the Dukedom will have any trouble.

Wheres that mankind dominion guy? I thought that he should've wrote official fluff...

Sir.... We have reported the hive fleet is at the system where we predicted it would be. A federation fleet has been dispatched, they have been hiding in the Oort cloud, harvesting resources.

>>53559611
We have sent in some probes to see what we are facing.

>>53559611
>>53559640
In the meantime... oh my god. That was all just a ruse!

>>53559751
Their fleet split up to attack Yss! That was only just a sliver of what we expect!

>>53559787
I'll send some Aorta class warships to defeat the menace,but they won't arrive in time.Hold the line!

>>53559873
I am sending in Ploraxian forces to hold the ground there, along with federation forces. This will be a unified stand! I have tried to warn them, but they aren't responding!

>>53559873
Yes. Another thing is that the dukedom will be unprepared! The only troops there will be equipped with ceremonial weapons!

>>53549977
Acknowledged.

>>53560036
I doubt it.Last I checked Yss is near Murder,so it would likely be heavily defended.However,given that this fleet has shown itself to be intelligent enough to bypass the Ra ships,it could get to the Yss festival before defenses are armed,and kill thousands if not millions before its destruction.

>>53560368
It is necessary to destroy this fleet. Our fleets are going there at the maximum warp capability, they shall tremble in the Shi'lor Leviathan class!
>>53560235
What! But I need to go!

>>53560368
>After two days, the fleet arrives to the system, the hive mind and the federation/ploraxian/dukedom fleet.

Ohhhhh... Prett'eh...

>>53563785
Federation law requires votes,yes,but only on matters requiring that of all Federation forces.For a few to go off and support the Dukedom when it is in need,that is not illegal.We have not used voting to force the rest of the Federation's members into service.Furthermore,the Dukedom is a proud race,and one that has helped many of us in times of need.To abandon them would be to abandon the Federation's values itself,and I for one will not.

>>53563786
Hold fire.The ship is coming in now!

>>53563785
Yes. We have initiated contact, and they have explicitly stated that they wish for our extermination, and our assimilation.
Offtopic: look in the previous thread for this proof.

>>53563849
>A ship of biomechanical design flys in,flattening some unfortunate mutants.The marines jump in,and it begins to retreat to Dukedom space.

>>53563823
Yes affirmative of COURSE, the council isn't a damned social club! If you wish to utilize the council in an official capacity council regulations must be upheld! A war is not simply declared without forethought, careful consideration must be done!

>>53563835
No ridiculous foolish, use your own backchannels if you wish to garner support for your personal wars. Not the council.

No. According to an After Action Report from the convoy, they initiated the basic greetings in binary, and they stated that they
>did not want peace
>wanted to kill everything
>and assimilate our traits
That is what happened. Another thing is that most of the fleet was destroyed by them, and no reported survivors were found when we sent a rescue ship for those stuck.

>>53563978
Thanks.

>>53563962
No condescending instructing, that is when you reach for the closest negotiator and maintain defensive positions until they are made to realize that a costly, protracted war is and absurd undertaking when council membership offers them opportunities to gain all the technology, culture, and resources they could ever want.

>>53563981
No regretful unfazed, why would you ever send a diplomatic party into territory you know full well is hostile? Why would you not simply use long-range communications?!

>>53564005
Another thing is they went right through the middle of one of our sectors, which was developing, ruined infrastructure and took arms and weapons! They also struck nearly every member of the federation! Even killed a Vorgel Convoy!

>>53564046
Yes certainly looking down upon, that would be the result of your own initial incompetence.

>>53564005
They get their resources from literally eating everything in sight.And trust me,they tried to stay defended,but good men were slaughtered that day.I can understand not wanting to destroy them,as the behemoth is using a nonviolent method to hold some of them,but to ask us to move aside and let one of our closest allies die on the off chance that an all consuming race will suddenly turn friendly after eating its way through twelve civilizations is absurd!

>>53564061
We should not be responsible for a race to slaughter a sector,and should not be condemned for defending another from death.

>>53564046
Another thing is that they assimilated a fledgling colony of Ploraxians, and assimilated them. They have cost nearly a trillion credits worth of damage! Not to mention millions of lives!

>>53563925
>Marines fire on tailing have ships until they reach the Ra blockade,where the chasers are obliterated.Overall,3 marines were lost in the carnage.

>>53564066
>>53564076
No misunderstood explanatory, nobody as asked for you to let a race die. The mistakes have already been made. The objection is to the actions that lead to those mistakes. You cannot take back what you have done, and the lives your wildly inappropriate decisions cost. That is what you are being condemned for. What you do now is a direct result of what you have wrought. We would ask you do not take more lives in your pointless crusade, nor ask others to do the same.

>>53564016
It is fine,Voidspeaker.You have done nothing wrong,and your communication is fine as of now.

>>53563978
>>53564061
>>53564036
Let me tell you one thing. You see that little circular object? That was my injuries from the first hive war, when I nearly died from shrapnel. You don't understand what is going out there. We disobeyed orders to abandon a world, and guess what? It turned out to be a success. We defended the world to our near last breaths, and gained an invaluable ally who was saved from death! And furthered the Ploraxian empire and the early pact! Listen, when you are faced with something as dastardly as a hive mind, you throw the rules outside of the window.

>>53564129
I lost total sight in my first eye. Yes, I'm a veteran. I fought to keep the pact safe, ploraxia safe! We had to do something under severe pressure, far from home. Because if we followed those damn rules, we would all be dead. I believe charter 90, sub paragraph b allows such action to be taken.

>>53564129
No dismissive arrogant, you impress no member of my species with your blustering. Your violence is abhorrent to all of my people, no matter the reasons.

Good evening to everyone. I apologize for my late joining of this session. Your transmissions travel far slower by radio.

The relocation of the 3 million lizard people's are going well. We have been much aided as to their preference of treatment by the Order we have had interaction with. Their adjustment has not been without difficulties, as they are reluctant to believe that our Balance can provide them with what they desire.

[Transmission Continues]

We enjoy the exchange of ideas, technologies, and philosophies. All representatives are welcome on W'nai B-1, and W'nai B-2.

Are there any Federation matters with which we can assist?

>>53564115
What have we done wrong?We sent an expedition to my homeland,where we encountered a Hive warped by the Wastes.After diplomacy failed,we set up in two locations to defend two different besieged areas,both in Dukedom Space.We didn't trespass,nor did we instigate violence.We are not warmongers,but we won't be brought down by this Hive.

>>53564166
Well take a look.
>He shows the full extent of his injuries
That's what I'm saying, you can't be totally dogmatic. One must take the rational thought train, sometimes.

>>53564170
>>53564173
Yes reasonable fresh insight, it would be refreshing to have someone else see the madness in the violence of these people.

>>53564170
Well,we are currently fighting a hive,but assistance is not mandatory.However it would be greatly appreciated.

>>53564099
They are amongst the honoured dead. A monumental victory I say, a victory for civility over barbarism.

>>53564199
No derisive laughable, we have no sympathy for the violent.

>>53564206
Military assistance is sadly beyond our capabilities. Our dominion is small, and there are only about a million of us. Additionally, our ships are capable of only short jumps.

>>53564166
Also, they were exterminating an entire species. Rounding 'em up by the thousands, and gassing them and eating their corpses.

>>53564201
This is no madness.To drive away beings that wish to destroy the Federation and all it stands for is a good cause.Ploraxia is a world well versed in warfare,yet it does not mindlessly destroy.It defends,and that is a difference that must be designated.

>>53564212
Yes,I agree.You may keep the ship.A memento for the lost.

>>53564228
>Violent
I fought in a war which I was drafted in. I had to kill, to... maim! Murder! I had to kill, or be killed, or see the ones who I cherish be killed! DO YOU THINK I HAD A CHOICE!

>>53564267
It's a worthy gift, but fighting may continue for some time after as we clean up what remains.

>>53564237
To force the W'nai to fight at a time like this would be unfair,as they cannot aid at the moment.However,for the rest of us I agree that a vote is in order.To either defeat the Hive,or leave Yss to defend itself.

>>53564237
Yes agreeable accepted, if the Federation were to vote on this issue the Conglomerate would honour its decision no matter the result.

>>53564245
No incorrect assumption, you assume that the Federation would be destroyed. Have you not considered the fact that other races, older races, may not be so threatened?

>>53564275
Yes affirmative correct, the choice to harm another. Your species' beliefs seem to be quite different from my own, in case you haven't noticed.

>>53564275
Huh! You just sat there, eating your food, while we commoners work and fight for your protection! I was born in a poor family, in a slum on Hikeros!

>>53564284
We have repelled the invaders back to the outer gas giants. We are holding a defensive position over Yss.

>>53564231

Are you saying that leaving young faces to die just to bet on a chance that older races wouldn't is a thing the Federation would do?Because I can say right now that it is not,and your own goals of peace and stability don't seem to justify sacrificing many for a few.

>>53564334
>>53564353
Thanks

>>53564360
I agree, your logic is flawed! And it would be a tragedy to take this course of action!

>>53564360
No snide superior, but maybe us elder races have seen this play out before and know what we are talking about. Maybe, just maybe, feeding something like this dead bodies and blasted wrecks isn't in your best interest. Possibly starving them out from behind planetary shields is the tried and true solution. But what would we know, what with out infinite natural lifespans and silly ages of technological advancement.

>>53564428
Let me tell you something, ambassador. Have you ever fought for your nation, or your pact?

>>53564428
To starve them is in direct contrast to what you were saying earlier,and it would be more cruel.We already are winning,in fact I can send reinforcements,since my ships are from the Wastes too and cannot be absorbed.I mean no disrespect,but I doubt you could supply all these races with planetary shielding,and it would disrupt trade and affect us more than simply concluding this battle and driving them off.

>>53564478
He stares at the ominous voice
Yes...

>>53564478
Yes,please.A vote would solve this immediately.

>>53564481
Yes. I agree to that fact, in fact, for our vote, I represent one issue. We can either take direct action against these creatures, or "starve" them our from our worlds.

>>53564450
No sneering gloating, that is what the shields are for. We are indeed militarized. It is a defensive force exclusively, with no aggressive power to speak of.

>>53564481
No exhausted wrong, it would encourage them to move their search elsewhere, outside of Federation territory into the uninhabited space from whence it came. We are also more than capable of supplying the proper shielding to as many planets as require it, seeing as we have had literal millennia to stockpile the technology in case of an event of similar scale to this. Not all races are as restricted in what they can produce as is common, and we are not inclined to keep it to ourselves.

>>53564535
Think about the orbital infrastructure for one minute. The sheilds cannot cover that, and there are non-orbital shipyards, what if they take those? Or even massive fortresses! No, there will be flaws in this strategy. What about the habitats!

>>53564571
The navy as well would be severly effected. Some of these ships would still be assimilated!

>>53564535
I can see the use of that,but the enemy is nearly defeated and I personally cannot advocate dipriving it off to let another species deal with it.A vote can solve this issue.

Taxla, as thanks for your help, we have ordered our construction vessels to clear a small corridor to your planet. It will be carefully monitored by a permanent military fleet.

>>53564657
Keep in mind that I am as open to a nonviolent solution as you are.I just am pointing out that we can end this now violently as well and still try diplomacy afterward,since as a Hive it is all one organism.I simply just want to end this conflict one way or another without just ignoring it and letting others deal with it.

>>53564693
I agree. I have set up a plan to build a series of military stations around their solar system, in the Oort cloud and their outer gas giants. We will essentially box them in, and keep them at bay.

>>53564657

>>53564719
Oh,well.It seems the war is over.No need for shields nor reinforcements then.Phss,if you wish you may try and parley with those cordoned off.

>>53564754
Well... Okay. But, that was only their invasion force. We must take it up to their homeworld. Box their system, destroy all their craft. And watch

>>53564684
Yes comprehend unchanged, this is the one technology my species has focused on for billions of years. Billions. Our recovered history of the time before we were settled hammers this point home time and time again. We live by our code of nonviolence, but we are not so naive as to believe violence can be entirely avoided. Whether it be a star detonating or a simply slug-thrower, our shielding will hold. Do not slight my species' craftsmanship just because you cannot match it.

>>53564719
>>53564732
YES INGENIOUS CREATIVE, a plan has been brought to me. Our shields must be installed on the enemy ships at once.

>>53564680
Hey,could you post Taxia's pic?I have the Prince's as well,and I only need a few more to start putting them together as a request.

>>53564779
Also, I think the war, at least the defensive phase is over. We have repelled them. We have thought of a name as the Holiday Conflict.

>>53564779
Will you try and shield off the Hive itself?A sort of reverse isolation protocol?

>>53564784
the prince was only Taxla stand in, I don't think it's necessary to have him in the pic

>>53564801
Yes precisely correct, since we are nonviolent we have never needed to have our shields be able to be fired through. Thus the shields are stronger. It will trap the mutants, rendering them harmless. That is a nonviolent way to end future conflict.

>>53564798
We could name it The Rally of Yss.To commemorate those who rallied to defend it,and to celebrate the planet itself.That is,if a holiday is installed.

>>53564801
That is what I am suggesting, with a permanent fleet and a perimeter, a Maginot line of defense stations.

>>53564829
That is what we wish for, Phss. I apologize for my outburst, earlier. I had misunderstood your words.

>>53564832
This was basically fought in a holiday, a festival I believe. Well, more like a day after the festival.

>>53564829
Then,we could try and negotiate with them.Even if they still don't want to negotiate,we could just rerelease them into the Carnem Wastes.Trust me when I say that The only reason they survived earlier was because they hid in the wreck of the Nietzsche.They would never bother us again,and may even come back with an new appreciation for peace.

>>53564861
Well,then they could add it to the festival if they wish,or designate it as a new holiday.Either way,I'm glad that we succeeded,especially now that we can eliminate the threat in a non hostile manner.

>>53564850
Yes prideful addled, of course.

>>53564865
Yes snobby improved, it also comes with the added benefit of making it impossible for you or others to harm them.

>>53564875
Yes happy action, we have already dispatched our engineers to the conflict zone.

>>53564875
Thank you,Voidspeaker.

>>53564693
Concerning. The Tiamaxian flotilla is preoccupied chasing a pirate lord, but we can commit raw materials if needed.

>>53564942
A pirate lord, what nonsense! I shall send in a grand Leviathan to deal with the pirate bastards! I have relayed their cooirdinates to follow you!

>>53564922
Do not worry,despite what you may think I am not a warmonger,you could even ask the Empress to read my mind and check.I am glad that there was a nonviolent solution,it's just that I would had even fought alone in the defense of Dukedom.They have been a great ally to me.Regardless,the Wastes has its ways,and even despite your technological advances I doubt the shields would hold up for long there.I say we try and negotiate with the Hive.

>>53564922
Of course, a wonderful thing. If they can negotiate, we may take them in as a shared vassal.

>>53564942
Do not worry,the threat has been handled.As for this pirate,the Ploraxians may aid you.If you need help in diplomacy,or reinforcements,contact Phss or me respectively.

I just....
How hard is it to stay at peace?
You guys really love war don't you.

>>53564968
>>53564976
Yes prudent agreed, negotiators would be most appropriate. I would personally like to send several of my own people to the talks. We are known to achieve results beneficial to all involved. As you can see.

>>53565015
Hey... this time it wasn't our fault. We were attacked!

>>53565007
Here you go.
Piracy is the practice of attacking and robbing ships in space or at sea.

>>53564961
>>53565002
It is but a minor princeling, barely worth attention on the galactic scale. He will be brought to heel, do not worry. It is a... childish pursuit.

>>53565036
Oh. We will still send a support fleet towards you , the leviathan will stay at home.

>>53565017
Of course.Thank you for talkng this through,by the way.We both are working towards the Federation's prosperity,and often I have met others who refuse to consider alternate solutions.Despite our differences I am glad you are here to help us.

>>53565026
I speak of the Infighting that occurred.

Oh,well that is to be expected of different cultures working together.Despite this,we still managed to come to an agreement.

Selfishness,survival,greed...there are many reasons.Regardless,it is a terrible practice,although it is at least better than outright destruction since often victims are left alone.

>>53565075
True enough.

>>53565109
That can be agreed with. It was a heated debate between me and the ambassador Phss.
