No doubt I'd lose, but lone civilian ships themselves are very rare, let alone unarmed.

Yes that would be perfect, with fleet battles. Your species are not human, are they? If they are, then there is a very small chance we may be able to have some kind of relations. Also, of course you will lose the battle. Despite it sounding very godmoddy, I need it to be this way to set the tone of what I shall name the "Toishima Crisis Arc". Also your people (nobody, really) should not know Toishima's name until a more outgoing human member of the galaxy can share it.


They appear human at a very superficial level, a closer inspection reveals the sharper faces, sharp teeth, red eyes, adn tapered ears. In reality, they aren't even a distant cousin of humans.

I do not know if this is an insult to the Japanese people; you will be insulting at least half of my family then. Do remember that, while Toishima does kill billions of aliens a year, Toishima is not Japan at all. So do not equate them together.

Perhaps, if you do force a communication through the Toishiman system, they will speak to you for a brief moment as biologists determine whether your species is worthy of contact with the Human Race. Oh, right. Japanese. My people speak only Japanese, Chinese and Korean, with a tiny bit of Galactic Basic from what few humans have come from outside. We may not even understand each other.

We know galactic basic and *maybe* some Japanese (we don't trust people, but we'll trade with them in heavily armed systems)

I'll write up 12 military ships and a cartographer and have it enter.......somewhere in that region to scout. I have only one thing before I work, undetected stealth frigate to actually get a real report back to my government?

That would be delightful. Perhaps it was disengaged due to an earlier damage, or was lurking somewhere else. I will leave that to you.

Please do not, I make it a policy to RP with only one player at a time to ensure lines do not get crossed and problems do not occur, especially since this RP group has only one RP thread where every event is mixed with each other.

Unknown space. Nobody in the universe who is still alive knows of Toishima, after all.

I believe we could actually make another thread, that's just the central thread where big events take place (I think)

Boredom is not a cause for declarations of war, as I have learned painfully. War roleplays of a high quality take a long time to put together and usually do not end once your boredom does, leaving you with no motivation to carry on a battle you may not have wanted had you thought it through carefully.

Oh, and I am usually more emotional than I am now. I do not feel anything at the present time, for some reason.

I have already stated why. In such a messy thread as the current RP thread, there are probably three different storylines going on at the same time. You already have your diplomatic summit to concentrate on. A war with my forces will be a terrible distraction, and would probably muddle the waters even more.
