The Azerothian-Ammerinia flashpoint (FT, invite only)

[The Azerothian Union]

The Crossroads, Azeroth
27th of May, 15 NE:

House of the People's Union, chamber of the Supreme Commissars.
The chamber was quiet, with the move from the FBN multiverse, there wasn't much to talk about. The Committee of Commissars were dealing with the usual few Azerothian problems that still lingered about, the Supreme Commissars on the other hand had nothing. There were no larger threats like the Coalition of Allied Systems or anything else; The CDC peacekeeping operations were a month away, the Union at last had found peace... a very boring peace.
Discussions on the military were quickly blown through, instead most of the discussions were about the recently opened embassies. The discussions finally finished after twenty minutes when all representatives agreed to increase patrols around embassy row.
An orc stood up. "Right, now onto exploration and colonization," He said bringing up a piece of paper. "Comrades, scouts have located a planet with rich mineral deposits. Unfortunately it is just outside of the Union's northern boarders, it still remains unclaimed." He said as he looked up. "scans have turned up with no intelligent life, it is ripe for the taking." The orc said with a smile. "I suggest we organize an expedition to claim that part of space now." He said sitting down.
A troll at the centre of the room nodded and wrote down notes. "Yes comrade, expansion should be on our minds. But we are in another universe, there are many, many more nations now." He said looking at the Orc. "Balgar, I would usually let your department to handle it. But with recent circumstances, the leap from FBN. I am not allowing any expeditions out of Azerothian space unless escorted by the Navy." He looked over at an older human. "Mrs. Hilok, does the armed forces support this move for expansion." He asked as the woman stood up.
The older woman cleared her throat as she nodded. "Yes Supreme Commissar Chairman, we haven't had a good fight for awhile now. This will be a great exercise for my men." She said as she sat down.
The troll nodded. "Right Comrades, all for this idea say yay." The room was filled with yays before dying down. "All opposed, say nay." The room was utterly silent. He banged his gavel. "Right, planned expansion is approved." He quickly flipped through the paperwork next to him. "That is it, we've got through this meet. You are all dismissed, for Chairman and Union." The chamber was suddenly lively and energetic with people talking, laughing and joking as they walked out.

Refuelling station 18, orbiting Outland
10:30 AM, 28th of May, 15 NE:

A large ship was buzzing with activity, the ship, the A.U.S.S. Darrowshire recently got ordered to meet up with a small fleet for an expedition. For the past six hours the ship was outfitted and rearmed for potential combat, along with fifteen Gamon class destroyers, seven Hellscream frigates and four Varian class cruisers. The fleet was going to escort four survey ships, ten small engineering vessels and one freighter. This was a rather light escort compared to the trade routes between the Union and the NCR, but they weren't expecting anyone to be there; If pirates showed up, the escorts would be able to handle it. Especially with the one kilometre long Behemoth class Heavy cruiser acting as the command ship.

Aboard the Behemoth class heavy cruiser, A.U.S.S. Darrowshire
A well dressed man in a peaked cap walked past a Gnome and worgen marines standing guard with Ternvo Submachine Guns out of their standard heavy battle armour. They quickly saluted and got out of his way, the door slid open revealing the bridge. A marine on the bridge looked over, she snapped her head forward. "Captain on the bridge!" She yelled as all the people on the bridge stood at attention.
The captain waved his arm. "At ease." He said sitting down in his chair. He was handed a folder by a nearby officer, the officer quickly returned to his post. He read through it quickly. "Right helmsman, disengage docking tubes and clamps." He said looking at the screen. showing the front of the ship. "And bring us into formation,
A man at a console nodded. "Yes captain." He said as the sounds of the dock clamps falling away and the humming of the engine filled the bridge. Slowly the ship moved away from the station and got into formation with the other ships, it dwarfed all the other ships in the fleet. It would be a good deterrent to any potential threat. "We are ready to jump sir!" He said looking back.
The captain nodded. "Good, signal the fleet to jump when we jump." He said looking over at the comms officer, he turned back to the helmsman. He sat up smiling. "Jump." He said as a tear in space, showing the planet that would be the Union's. There was a quick flash of light as they appeared on the other side of the portal. "Now we know the blink drive works..." He muttered to himself, before coughing. "Right all ships stay in formation, prepare to orbit the planet." There was beeping as the captain finished his sentence. He quickly turned to a woman at a panel.
She turned to him looking confused. "Sir, we have other FTL signatures approaching. Advanced ones, it's a safe bet they are not pirates. Suggest we raise our alert level to yellow." She said turning back to her console.
The Captain nodded. "Right," he said as he tapped a panel on his chair. "Crew, this is your Captain speaking. There is an unknown advanced FTL signature coming towards the planet. It is not known yet if it is friendly or hostile." He sighed. "Everyone to your battle stations, be prepared for a fight. All marines, get geared up and prepare for potential ship to ship combat." He said as he looked up at the screen, they would drop out of light speed any moment now. "I knew we should of gotten FTL interdiction installed on the ship..." He muttered to himself again. "Comms, be prepared to send a message to Azeroth if these guys are hostile." The communications officer nodded.

[Ammerinia]

ISV Kirrim

The captain walked into the bridge. Passing 2 Titanian Marines with the're GXF-85 Particle Rifles and nano-armor, He saluted and sat down. Then a gunnery officer walked in. "Sir, We have completed scans of the planet--"
Suddenly an ensign shouted "SEVERAL UNKNOWN SHIPS DETECTED!" "What the hell?! Put the ship on Yellow alert, And ready weapons if they are hostile." He said with a concerned tone. "I've completed scans sir! It looks like some unknown ship design, But it's well armed. And i also detect several unarmed ships along with it." He said while sending a ship-wide alert on the console. "They have the're weapons ready, But they don't seam to be making any attempts at firing." Said the lieutenant. "Arm all weapons, And tell our colony ships to stay back. And send a transmission back to Ammerinia Prime." "Yes sir!" The lieutenant said before broadcasting a message to Ammerinia Prime.

[The Azerothian Union]

X-931, on the eastern edge of the Azerothian Union
10:31 AM, 28th of May, 15 NE:

The Azerothian ships proudly displayed the Union's twin hammers across it's bow. The lead Azerothian ship was impressive, being over a kilometre long; Thousands of men were obviously aboard the ship, it really showed with the amount of weapons on the broadside of the ship facing them. The other ships surrounded their flagship, forming a large wall of fire power to protect the unarmed ships.

On the bridge of the A.U.S.S. Darrowshire
The crew sat there for a moment looking at the screen. "They are arming their weapons." Said a female officer on the bridge. The captain just sat there looking at the screen.
The turned to the communications officer next to him. "Send them a message," He said as he turned around eyeing the ship. "Tell them that this planet has been claimed by the Glorious United Socialist Regions of the Azerothian Union. That they better clear out before we see their trespassing as an act of aggression. Tell them also we represent a large military alliance and if we are fired upon they will be hunted by the Cosmic Defence Coalition." The comm officer nodded. "Make sure you send it in Galatic basic, it's easy to decipher, we don't know what language these people speak." He quickly added on.
The Goblin officer began to type before finally pressing the send button. "Sent sir, Shall I also send word to Azeroth about the current dilemma?" He asked as he turned his head.
The Captain nodded. "Do that Comrade," He looked back at the ship. "While you are at it, tell the Colonist fleet to move toward the planet. We'll escort them and keep us between them." The Comm officer nodded. The hum of the engine started up again, he pressed the same fleet wide announcement button as he did before. "All gunners, track the potentially hostile fleet. Do not fire unless fired upon." He said as he turned it off.

Space above X-931, Eastern edge of the Azerothian Union

The Azerothian fleet began to move toward the planet, the kept the civilian fleet close to them blocking out any shots that may be fired. The guns on the ships continued to track their fleet, but they did not fire. The Azerothian message quickly came through, it was obvious the Union did not screw around.

The Crossroads, Azeroth
28th of May, 15 NE:

Department of Exploration and colonization.

The department was very quiet, it always was; With the recent jump, the department only needed a few men to make sure everything goes smoothly. A man at his desk just sat there typing up a forum, registering the planet as an Azerothian planet. But quickly red lights began flashing as several unknown vessels appeared a couple of thousand clicks away from the Azerothian fleet.
Several other officer works got up and walked towards the man's computer, they quickly got the signal from the fleet. "Well shit," He said. "Jal'nar, get the navy on the phone. We've got a possibly hostile force here." A female troll nodded and ran off.
The office workers looked at each other before smiling. "bets?" One of them asked holding out two tubs which were labeled 'Capitalist' and Socialist'.
Many of the office workers put money into the capitalist tub while about two reebles were put into the Socialist tub.

Bilgewater Harbor, Azeroth
28th of May, 15 NE:

Azerothian Naval Headquarters

Reports quickly flooded in about the possibly hostile fleet. Dozens of men looked over, this was an unknown force and it would be treated as such. "The Iron Lady is on patrol with the Vol'jin Comrades, should we sent the titan fleet?" One senior officer asked.
Another man just laughed. "No, no comrade, they have yet to take any hostile actions; We will just inform the Admiral to prepare for combat if they do fire. We should also put the third fleet on standby," He said looking over the collection of officers at the table.
Quickly they dispersed to their stations, the pictures of the fleet and readouts were quickly sent to military analysts in case they turned out hostile.

Western boarder of Azerothian Space
28th of May, 15 NE:

It was another routine patrol, the Vol'jin a Aman'Thul 'Super Titan' Class Super Heavy Battleship, along with the ten Titan class battleships of the Union patrol the western boarder of the Union. The Vol'jin was considered the flagship of the Union, the largest ship ever produced by the Union. Over 100 kilometres long, it was the size of all of the Titan fleet put together.

On the bridge of the A.U.S.S. Vol'jin

The crew looked bored, there was nothing to see or do in the deep reaches of the Azerothian Union. But with the jump patrols had to be done on a regular basis in case of incursions of unknown or pirate forces. But quickly that all changed when a message from Azeroth was received. Quickly the crew and a woman in the captain's chair read through it. "Helmsman," The woman said putting down the paper as she finished reading. "Prepare to jump to X-931," She said as the helmsman plotted the PJD, the woman pressed the fleet wide announcement button on her right. "This is Admiral Vynai Lightwing, all ships prepare to jump to X-931. Everyone get to your battle stations, if we jump in; We will be going into battle. For Chairman and Union." She said as she closed the channel to the Titan fleet.

[Ammerinia]

X-931, Western Territories
12:56AM 31st of May, 2095 AD

The ISV Kirrim had a large hangar in the front, With the bridge farther back. Several large thermonuclear railguns and plasma accelerator cannons outlined the hull. 6 kilometres long, All of the other ships seamed very small. The other support ships were spread out in a defense pattern so if they enemy fired, They could easily dodge to the side.

On the bridge of the I.S.V. Kirrim

The captain starred out in to space for a moment. He observed the massive flagship and it's supporting frigates. Then the comms officer suddenly shouted. "Sir, Incoming transmission!" The captain quickly turned around. "Translate it!" Said the captain. "No need sir, It's in Galactic Basic. They say they are from the Azerothian Union and they are part of a military alliance just like ours." The captain look at the fleet again. Turning back he said "Tell them that they are trespassing in Ammerinian space and that if they fire a single missile at us, They will be shot out of the stars before you can blink."

In the atmosphere of X-931, Western Territories

Dropships began to move closer to the planet, With War-Frigates guarding them.

[The Azerothian Union]

X-931, on the eastern edge of the Azerothian Union
10:32 AM, 28th of May, 15 NE:

The Azerothian ships continued on, escorting the civilian ships. Their engines rumbling, their guns tracking their potential foes. Several hangers opened releasing a large number of fighters, none of them took hostile actions they just escorted the ships.

Bridge of the Darrowshire
The captain just rolled his eyes. "Such arrogance," He said with a laugh "and don't shoot missiles at them? So does that mean we can shoot everything else, even the kitchen sink at them and they won't do anything?" The crew laughed. "Right, trespassing; Bullshit." he said as he looked over to the Communications officer. "Tell them that they are wrong, this is Azerothian Territory. Pretty much since we reached here first." He said as he looked forward. "And tell them not to underestimate the Union's great war-machine. We will give them a good fight if they so wish."
The goblin finished typing. "Message sent comrade, shall I sent word to the Titan fleet to jump in?" He asked looking over to the captain.
The captain waved his hand. "Yes, a show of power should make them less arrogant." He said with a slight smile.
Another officer's screen flashed. "Comrade Captain, drop pods are ready. Fundamentally, they can only reach the Northern part of the planet. If we launch them now we will only be able to claim half of the planet." She said looking at her screen.
The Captain pondered for a second and pointed at the officer. "Better having half of it then losing all of it, Launch those pods."

Space over X-931, Eastern Boarder of the Azerothian Union.
Dozens of pods launched out of the military ships in the fleet. They were quickly followed by a larger drop pod, they screamed towards the planet. The first lot of small pods smashed near the Southern boarder, they quickly secured the Northern side of the boarder. They did not take any hostile actions towards the oncoming dropships. They seemed to be more concentrated on setting up fortifications and fences.
Only a matter of seconds after the pod launched eleven portals opened and out came the Union's titan fleet.

Space Over X-931, The Titan fleet, Eastern Boarder of the Azerothian Union
Though the Titan fleet was small, only including eleven ships, it was still massive. Each of the ten titans were ten kilometres long while the flagship, the A.U.S.S. Vol'jin, a Super Titan was one hundred Kilometres long; the fleet was the pride of the Union, each Titan had a spinal mounted cannon along with thousands of weapons on it's hull. The Union was not to be underestimated, when they build something, they build something heavily armoured and armed. The titan fleet took up positions in front of the colonization fleet, they pointed their spinal mounted cannons at the Armmerinian fleet. They were waiting for a reply.

The Crossroads, Azeroth
28th of May, 15 NE:

Office of Foreign Affairs, CDC department
With the report flowing in, the staff rushed to get messages to other CDC members for a show of force. The message that was sent out says;

"Glorious Comrade members of the CDC,

The Azerothian Union has encountered a group of potentially hostile forces on the eastern boarders of the Union. They are attempting to colinize what is the Union's. A show of support would be needed, a fleet for a show of the CDC's power would be a lot more better. We have to show that the CDC is not to be trifled with, the mineral rich world of X-931 will be opened up to all CDC members who participate in the show of force."

[The Octarian Federation]

Moderatrix Island, Octarius
6:12 PM OCST, 28th of May, 0 AOB:

Arpeggiato Mansion, Grand Duchess Octavia Melody's residence.
Grand Duchess Octavia Melody was in her office as usual, she filed through several reports. It was the usual day, she looked over the many reports; Everything was going okay for the Octarian Federation, their economy and freedoms were booming. She smiled as even the two dominant political parties, labour and the liberal parties were getting along and working together; Though, as much as political parties could... Everything was quiet and her work day was almost over, maybe she would go play her Cello for awhile. But that was all cut short when her desk intercom turned on. "Grand Duchess, we have just received word from the Azerothian Union. They are currently in a dispute with another nation, they are requesting support." The woman said over the intercom, Octavia just sighed. "Sorry Milady, did I do something wrong or offend you?" She asked in a concerned tone.
The Grand Duchess just shook her head. "No, it is quite all right Jessica. I am just disappointed, we get to a new multiverse and we are dragged into a conflict already." The mare said as she looked over the remaining paperwork to be processed. Jessica was her new secretary, she wasn't as good as Miss Nightingale, but she already had a more important job to do other than server her tea and take messages now.
The woman on the other side breathed a sigh of relief. "Parliament is split on the issue, though due to our membership we do have to voice our support for the Azerothian Union and the other Cosmic Defence Coalition members." The woman took a deep breath as she shuffled through papers. "The Liberal Party is calling for us to support the Cosmic Defence Coalition, with a fleet too. While Labour wants to give a little support to the Coalition but focus on mediation to stop all possible armed conflicts. Milady, your vote will decide out course of action."
Octavia just put her hooves in her face, maybe they weren't working together so well. "They know my answer, send word to Octarius City Space Port, I am going to mediate this myself." She said getting up and walking over to her cello.
Jessica just gaped. "Milady! You can't, this can be done by someone else!" She said in a shocked tone. "The Security Chief will demand that you at least take an escort with you."
Octavia nodded as she put her cello on her back. "I will accept an escort as long as it is kept down to small escort ships, nothing larger than a cruiser and only five ships. Send a messages to the Azerothian and Unknown fleet over that planet, put it in Galactic basic. Tell them that I am coming with a small fleet to mediate and I will arrive in about half an hour." She said trotting out, but she stopped. "Also message my daughter Homage, tell her to try to convince the NCR to support my mediation." With that, she walked out of the door.

Orbiting Octarius
6:15 PM OCST, 28th of May, 0 AOB:

Near Space Station six
A small shuttle flew up from Octarius, this was the Grand Duchess's own shuttle. It quickly docked with a small ship, the O.F.S. Berryman, a repurposed Discworld Octarine Class Battlefrigate. It was escorted by five ships, a Minchenton Heavy Cruisers, the O.F.S. Minchenton, a Defiant Class crusier, the O.F.S. Vice Versa and three Matilda class destoryers, the O.F.S. Matilda, O.F.S. Wild Oats and O.F.S. Terry Pratchett.
As the shuttle docked the small diplomatic fleet began to move away from the planet. They quickly reached the designated jump point and activated their jump engines.
The ships quickly reached FTL speeds and began their trip to the crisis, it would take them 15 minutes to reach it. Unlike the Union, the Federation did not have advanced FTL drives

[Equestria 01]

Canterlot, Equestria
12:02 PM, 28th of May, 15 NE:

The Canterlot Castle
A unicorn mare quickly ran through the halls of the palace, dodging several servants and guards before reaching a large door. The opened the door with her magic, the room was pitch black only the light from the hallway lit up the room. "Excuse me Princess Luna..." She called out looking around the room, trying to find the Princess.
There was a grumble and the sound of a bed squeaking. "Yes, what is it? It better be important." The Princess of the night said in a grumpy tone.
The small mare gulped. "Well... um," She said nervously. "The Azerothian Union has called for military support, they are currently facing a hostile fleet above a planet. This planet has a lot of resources, including an element 614? Uh, well Parliment would of sent a fleet already; but they await your approval."
Princess Luna sighed and lifted her sleep mask up a little. "Tell them they have my permission, I want element 614 mined before anyone else has the chance to do it. Do not disturb me, unless actual combat happens. I am not concerned about the mining details, parliament can handle that." She said slipping her sleep mask back over her eyes. The Mare just stood there before slowly backing out. "Leave now." The Princess said in an annoyed tone. The mare galloped out and quickly shut the door. The Princess grumbled to herself and went back to sleep.

Near Equestria's Moon
12:04 PM, 28th of May, 15 NE:

Given their marching orders, the 1st Equestrian Space fleet left the new Equestrian lunar military installation. The base on the moon was a strategic point for the Principality of Equestria over the Zebra Empire, allowing them a stable base of Operations and the unwillingness of the Zebras to set foot on the moon for religious reasons. The first fleet set off from the moon base, the fleet was made up of twenty Frigates, four cruisers and the Equestria's flagship, the HMSS Nightmare Moon.
The Nightmare moon was slightly larger than the crusiers but it admitted a large amount of black fog, somehow blocking sensors and targeting systems making it extremely hard to hit. The Nightmare Moon lacked in weaponry but it looked intimidating and just looking at it made you feel uncomfortable. Reports of the ship confirmed it used psyological warfare, transmitting the enemy's deepest fears via magic. Even though it was not the most heavily armed or armoured ship, it was still a dangerous ship to be fielded on the battlefield.
About a minute passed and the Equestrian 1st fleet jumped towards X-931, their estimated time of arrival would be twenty nine minutes. Like the Federation, Equestria did not have portal jump drives.

[Oriental League of Nations]

Ho Chi Minh City, Earth
7:33 AM, 28th of May, 15 NE:

The Grand house of the People
An early meeting was called for the senate of the Oriental League of Nations, the members of the upper and lower houses of the senate took their seats. First Minister Quang Quân stood up and cleared his throat. "This early meeting was called by our friends in the Glorious Azerothian Union, they have requested that give our support for their claim on a mineral rich planet; They also request a fleet for a show to force to this unknown force that is attempting to claim the planet." He read from the paper. "All those in favour say aye." he said looking up, everyone in the room yelled aye. Quang smiled. "This concludes this emergency meeting, you are all dismissed." He said as the senate slowly emptied. The First minister pressed a button next to him. "Marshall Tàu, please send the fleet to the designated position and await for the ships of the other protectorates to get into position. Jump when they all arrive.

Orbit Over Earth
7:35 AM, 28th of May, 15 NE:
The League's Navy was the first to mobilize, it was the largest with several Azerothian made ships like the current flagship of the fleet, a single Varian Class Cruiser, five Hellscream class frigates and fifteen Gamon Class destroyers. The small fleet quickly broke off their patrol and rallied near a space station. The fleet sat there and awaited all the other Azerothian protectorates to join their formation.

[European Consortium]

Prague, Earth
4:36 AM, 28th of May, 15 NE:

Wallenstein Palace
Many men and women were ushered in by several soliders. All of them were extremely tried, the Chairman of the Executive Council, Augustin Mihail walked in rubbing his eyes. "You have all been called here for this emergency meeting..." He yawned. "The Azerothian Union has encounter a hostile force and they want us to support them and send them a fleet for a show of power." He looked around. "Anyone opposed to this speak up, I want to get back to bed." The room was utterly silent, save for the occasional yawn. "Great..." He turned a guard next to him. "Inform the Navy to move to the rally point. I'm going to bed." He said in a tired tone as he walked away.

Orbit Over Earth
4:39 AM, 28th of May, 15 NE:

The Consortium's fleet was the second to mobilize and to reach the rally point joining the League's fleet. The Consortium's fleet was made up of Two Hellscream Frigates and Six Gamon Class destroyers. It was the second largest protectorate fleet. The ships quickly rumbled to the rally point and prepared for potential combat.
Both of the fleets were also full of soldiers and marines for potential land operations. When the fleets arrived at their destination, drop ships would be deployed to help secure the planet. Though at the moment the Protectorates would have to wait a little while for armoured vehicles to be sent. But fortunately the Union had dozens of AFV's on standby in their fleet. But the protectorates had a several squads that were anti-tank so if the enemy did attempt armoured warfare, they wouldn't be completely unprepared.

[African Conglomerate]

Kigali, Earth
4:38 AM, 28th of May, 15 NE:

Chamber of Councilmen
Unlike the other protectorates, the Conglomerate was already in discussions. Though many in the council looked tried, they were very focused. Chief Executive Rumbidzai Werknesh stood up. "We have just received reports of a hostile fleet attempting to block Azerothian colonization, the Union is asking for Cosmic Defence Coalition members to give their support and pitch in a fleet to support their colonization. Members who do will get their own share of the planet." He smiled and looked up. "I believe we should take this opportunity, this will help the Conglomerate get through it's economic problems and strengthen International relations with the Union. All for sending the fleet to X-931 say aye," Many in the senate said Aye." he said. "And all those opposed, say nay." A few Councilmen and women said nay. "It is decided, we will support the Union in their colonization efforts."
The Council chambers then continued to make plans about getting the Conglomerate's economy out of the gutter.

Orbit Over Earth
4:42 AM, 28th of May, 15 NE:

The African Conglomerate had the smallest fleet out of all of the protectorates. Though unlike the other protectorates, the conglomerate had build their own classes of ships based on Azerothian ones. Currently the Conglomerate fleet was made up of One Spear class frigate and two Linebreaker class destroyers. Unlike the Azerothian ships, the Conglomerate's ships were fast and agile; able to dodge incoming fire, the ships were expected to fair well in close quarters fighting.
The Conglomerate ships finally reached the rally point, all the ships got into formation and prepared to jump. A couple of seconds later a portal opened and the ships jumped through instantly teleporting them to the X-931.

X-931, on the eastern edge of the Azerothian Union
10:43 AM, 28th of May, 15 NE:

The combined protectorate fleet

The Earthbound Azerothian Protectorate fleet finished their jump. The protectorate's ships boosted the Azerothian fleet substantially, almost doubling their ship numbers. The CDC fleet was getting larger and larger each passing minute. The arrival of the Equestrian fleet in sixteen minutes would no doubt further add to their numbers. Hopefully with the arrival of Octarian fleet in four minutes the situation could be defused.

[New Canterlot Republic 01]

Junction City, Gamma Centari III
3:20 PM, 28th of May, 15 NE:

Unlike all the other protectorates of the Union, the NCR refused to send a fleet to the potential conflict, citing that the NCR needed to concentrate on it's own defence. But it had sent it's support of the Union's colonization efforts. Though not everyone in the NCR was happy about this, especially the right-wing parties who thought that the NCR should send their only ship to the flashpoint. They had been just out voted by the left wing and independent parties. It looked like the NCR was going to sit this one out.

The Presidential Mansion
Homage walked down the hallway, looking at the paintings before opening the door to President Grimfeathers's office. "Gawd, I need to talk to you. I just got a message from my mother." She said trotting in.
Gawd just sighed, slightly annoyed. "Homage, it's been decided. We are not getting involved, the senate has made it's decision." She said looking at the mare.
The older steel gray mare sighed and looked at the griffin. "No, I am not asking you to send a fleet to support any combat Operations, I am asking you to send a fleet to support my mother mediate between them. We are technically participating in it, we wouldn't be in danger of entering combat. It would be a win, win."
Gawd looked unimpressed. "And what happens if they shoot at us, we cannot afford to be in another war. The last one took a lot out of us. Homage I see where you are coming from. But I cannot risk the NCR's only ship on this gambit." she said shaking her head.
Homage sighed slightly. "My mother gifted you that ship, she's been giving to the NCR very generously. I think we should support her. I will even go and help my mother mediate. Knowing her she'd park her ship in front of mine to shield me from the fire. Now I think we should pay back her generosity and boost our economy."
Gawd smiled. "Fine, but don't tell the Senate about this, they'll shit themselves." She said humorously. "You can borrow it, but if I find any scratches I will be billing you."
Homage rolled her eyes and walked out. "It won't even get a scratch." She said walking out of the office.
Gawd smiled. "Not a scratch!" She said as Homage walked out and closed the doors. "Hopefully this risk pays off, damn this'll bring a lot of money." She said reading over the reports.

Orbit over Gamma Centari III
3:25 PM, 28th of May, 15 NE:

A shuttle rose from Junction City and flew into the atmosphere. There it quickly docked with a Matilda class Destroyer painted in the NCR's colours. As soon as the shuttle docked the ship began to move, it was going on it's secret mission. The ship quickly cleared the planet's gravity well and jumped, it would take the ship five minutes to reach the flash point. It would reach the planet at the same time as the small Octarian diplomatic fleet. The NCR ship also sent a message forward to all those involved in the conflict it would be helping to mediate with the Federation.

[New Empire of Japan]

Imperial General Headquarters, Tokyo, New Empire of Japan

As called for aid was sent through the CDC the senior officers of the New Empire of Japan's forces were called to discuss actions. The officers, Army and Navy sat in opposite seat in the meeting room with Lord High Admiral Amanda Grey and the other Marshal Jingu Genji to represent the two services with other Generals and Admirals to represent different forces. The Tenno of the New Empire of Japan, Sugihito was present in the meeting as well to give his blessing for any military action. High Admiral Yamamoto was on a seat next to the Tenno to moderate the meeting. "As the head of the Army and Navy gathered I, High Admiral Yamamoto calls for the beginning of this emergency meeting." He began and produced a dataslate that had the current situation written. "The Azerothian Union, through the CDC has called for support against a hostile force. They have a dispute over a planet that is abundant with resources yet to be exploited."
The room began to fill with talking from different officers.
"Then we should support them quickly."
"What? We can only fend for ourselves now."
"It is the obligation of the CDC to support members."
"We are in a new Multiverse. We need our own defence."
"Then temporarily get the Turians to cover our absence."
Just as Yamamoto was going to call for order, one figure brought the speakings across the room to a halt. "Enough." The Lord High Admiral ordered both sides in the room with her authority. "We will send the 2nd Fleet to X-931. We can do with those resources to rebuild our forces."
Her Army counterpart agreed. "If combat on the planet happens, the Army will be needed to capture or hold crucial locations." The Marshal added. "The 3rd Army will be ordered."
"As an agreement has been reached, we will now wait for the Tenno's authorisation." Yamamoto turned to the Tenno for his blessing.
The Tenno nodded. "On behalf of the Emperor of Mankind, I will authorise the mobilisation of the 2nd Fleet and the 3rd Army." He declared to enact the order.
Yamamoto bowed in respect. "I will order Admiral Togo to depart for X-931 immediately and carry the forces of General Kuribayashi." He declared. "I will reply to the CDC that we are sending our forces. This meeting is now over."

***

An hour after the meeting, The Imperial Japanese Navy's 2nd Fleet departed Space Fortress Sarushima to make their warp jump to the coordinates of the gathering CDC fleet. Togo watched the fleet going through the Warp from the bridge of his flagship IJN Sumire, and noticed how this Multiverse's Warp is more peaceful. He turned to the communications officer also in the bridge. "Send a message to the CDC fleet: The Imperial Japanese Navy carrying the 3rd Army are on the way to join them." He ordered. The communications officer gave the Imperial salute before departing to relay the message.

X-931, on the eastern edge of the Azerothian Union
10:32 AM, 28th of May, 15 NE:

The Azerothian ships continued on, escorting the civilian ships. Their engines rumbling, their guns tracking their potential foes. Several hangers opened releasing a large number of fighters, none of them took hostile actions they just escorted the ships.

Bridge of the Darrowshire
The captain just rolled his eyes. "Such arrogance," He said with a laugh "and don't shoot missiles at them? So does that mean we can shoot everything else, even the kitchen sink at them and they won't do anything?" The crew laughed. "Right, trespassing; Bullshit." he said as he looked over to the Communications officer. "Tell them that they are wrong, this is Azerothian Territory. Pretty much since we reached here first." He said as he looked forward. "And tell them not to underestimate the Union's great war-machine. We will give them a good fight if they so wish."
The goblin finished typing. "Message sent comrade, shall I sent word to the Titan fleet to jump in?" He asked looking over to the captain.
The captain waved his hand. "Yes, a show of power should make them less arrogant." He said with a slight smile.
Another officer's screen flashed. "Comrade Captain, drop pods are ready. Fundamentally, they can only reach the Northern part of the planet. If we launch them now we will only be able to claim half of the planet." She said looking at her screen.
The Captain pondered for a second and pointed at the officer. "Better having half of it then losing all of it, Launch those pods."

Space over X-931, Eastern Boarder of the Azerothian Union.
Dozens of pods launched out of the military ships in the fleet. They were quickly followed by a larger drop pod, they screamed towards the planet. The first lot of small pods smashed near the Southern boarder, they quickly secured the Northern side of the boarder. They did not take any hostile actions towards the oncoming dropships. They seemed to be more concentrated on setting up fortifications and fences.
Only a matter of seconds after the pod launched eleven portals opened and out came the Union's titan fleet.

Space Over X-931, The Titan fleet, Eastern Boarder of the Azerothian Union
Though the Titan fleet was small, only including eleven ships, it was still massive. Each of the ten titans were ten kilometres long while the flagship, the A.U.S.S. Vol'jin, a Super Titan was one hundred Kilometres long; the fleet was the pride of the Union, each Titan had a spinal mounted cannon along with thousands of weapons on it's hull. The Union was not to be underestimated, when they build something, they build something heavily armoured and armed. The titan fleet took up positions in front of the colonization fleet, they pointed their spinal mounted cannons at the Armmerinian fleet. They were waiting for a reply.

The Crossroads, Azeroth
28th of May, 15 NE:

Office of Foreign Affairs, CDC department
With the report flowing in, the staff rushed to get messages to other CDC members for a show of force. The message that was sent out says;

"Glorious Comrade members of the CDC,

The Azerothian Union has encountered a group of potentially hostile forces on the eastern boarders of the Union. They are attempting to colinize what is the Union's. A show of support would be needed, a fleet for a show of the CDC's power would be a lot more better. We have to show that the CDC is not to be trifled with, the mineral rich world of X-931 will be opened up to all CDC members who participate in the show of force."

War Ministry. Enterprise, capital of the Intergalactic Empire of Holy Trek

Flag Admiral William Adama had received the message from the Azerothian Union through the CDC asking for additional forces to stand against the Armmerinians who had claimed a planet that was clearly under the banner of the Union. He scratched his head as he thought that the whole idea behind the CDC was to prevent conflict, not participate in it. Nevertheless, both Michael I and War Minister Martok made it clear that the empire would support the CDC. He sat down at his desk, in the spacious office he had occupied since first being nominated by the Klingon war minister and confirmed by both Parliament and emperor, and sent the following directive to the commanders of the 19th Fleet (2,000 ships total), the 3rd Multinational Fleet (3,500 mixed Romulan, Kinshaya, and Gorn) and the 27th Fleet (1,200 ships total):

Orders have been sent from the War Minister that due to simmering Azerothian-Armmerinian standoff over a recently surveyed planet, the CDC has been asked to stand alongside the AU in a show of solidarity. As per our agreement with the CDC, you have been ordered to rendezvous with an AU fleet outside the disputed system and display the mark of the CDC as well as the empire. Under no circumstances are you to engage the Armmerinians unless AU ships are attacked, or you yourselves come under attack.

Once the directive was issued, Adama drafted another directive, of a more generalized nature:

Attention all Imperial bases, planetary surface installations and ships......because the empire is participating as a member of the CDC in the Azerothian Union-Armmerinian conflict, there is a danger that Armmerinian privateers could engage transport convoys throughout Imperial space. Until further notice, a fleetwide Yellow Alert is to be in effect. If you should come under attack by an Armmerinian ship, you are authorized to engage them. Disable their ships if possible, destroy them if necessary. Further instructions will be issued as needed.

[Holy Trek]

Over Gallipoli V, edge of Imperial space

Commodore Thomas Coleridge watched as his fleet assembled on the viewscreen. A 50-year-old with experience in the recent Cardassian War, Coleridge had seen many battles. It was only recently that he received a promotion to the rank of captain, and saw the final negotiations that ended the war. Now he had been made commodore and placed in charge of an expeditionary force operating under the banner of the CDC. His First Officer, Randolph Cummings, sat to his left directing the myriad mix of Centaur-class, Akira-class, Galaxy-class, Excelsior-class, and Prometheus-class ships. Orders had been received and the coordinates were given. The disputed system known as X-931 was becoming a flashpoint, and while he personally hoped a resolution would be sought, he would fight to defend the Azerothian Union's claims to the planet if it became necessary.

Coleridge - "Mr Cummings, forward the coordinates to the rest of the fleet and set speed at warp 8."

Cummings sent the directive to the other ships, then looked back up at the commodore.

Cummings - "All ships acknowledge."

Coleridge - "We'll rendezvous with the other fleets just outside the system, then meet with the Imperial Japanese and Azerothian fleets near orbit. Helm.......engage."

The viewscreen shifted as the planet pulled away to starboard. Then the stars elongated as the ship, and the fleet, jumped into warp. Coleridge knew it would take five hours to arrive at the rendezvous coordinates. He hoped by then that the situation resolved itself peacefully.

[Neroth Sig Centrian]

Heide's Lost Tower, The Forgotten, N.S.C Empire
The once great Tower of Heide stood alone among the desolate Forgotten, and for a emergency meeting the Tower was a perfect location for the Bureau of Executives. One by one each Executive walked in chattering about their economics, clearly they did not know what was happening.

"So, I hear that we've found a new source of coal that can be used toward a better future." said an Executive wearing a crimson suit and a green tie.

"That you're correct my friend. However we don't need coal, what we really need is something to make the consumers happy! We need-"

"We need to respond." A man in his mid-forties stood up with a file, and slapped it down on to the table.

"My fellow Executives... some of you seem to have no clue why we're here today, we have been requested by The Aezerothian Union through the CDC to assist them in a land dispute. Now we all may have different views on this, but as we all know the Aezerothian Union is a very close ally. Therefore it is only right that we, the Bureau of Executives, make it clear that the N.S.C Empire is helping our fellow comrades."

"But Mr. Richards, that would be a great deal of expense. Plus what do we get out of this "land dispute", what are we to tell our "Emperor" of this dispute? You can't expect the consumers to be fine with us just hopping into a war. Think about it Mr. Richards, if we help them... We'll lose our typical market rates."

"Mr. Green has a point Richards, I mean my men are fully capable of going to war - on contract of course, but what's in it for us? What in it for the consumers? Money? Power?.. Happiness?!"

"I see that you all have your thoughts on the wrong side of the table... It was made clear to me in these files that the Azerothian Union said that those willing to help would be able to receive the minerals found in X-931, it's simple friends... We sign up a contract, send the fleet and anything else we can, get out, and the minerals are ours. Think of all the things we could do with those minerals."

The room was silent, Mr. Green looked around at his colleagues as they all started to talk to the person beside them. A few minutes later Mr. Richards left the room and came back with a old man in blood red robes and a staff with an eagle on top.

"Please welcome our Emperor my friends, it it his first time in a meeting with the Executives and hopefully it will not be the last. Durin Ra here has helped the Executives grow it's roots since the Great Uprising and is a loyal cause to us. I have already told him he is to convince the consumers that this war is to protect them from evil. Now before we get started on business what is the vote... Those who support the idea of the N.S.C. Empire going to war please raise your hands. Any hands not raised will be taken as you do not want war."

All the hands in the room raised, even the Emperor who looked rather nervous beside Mr. Richards, after the vote was taken the Executives began to exit the Tower.

[The Interstellar Mongol Khanate]

Dadu. Planet Tengri, capital world of the Interstellar Mongol Khanate

Since the end of the Cardassian War, the IMK had been in the process of rebuilding the fleets which had suffered loss in their victorious battles against the reptillian-humanoids. Those Cardassian systems conquered by the Mongols had been given self-rule within the larger Dominion, and bestowed the extinct-yet-symbolic title of Legatus to the young Mongol warrior-khan Toghon-Hulegu. As a result, the overall manpower of the Dominion had tripled, and the incorporation of the Cardassian starfleet (as the Self-Defense Fleet) into the Mongol Space Navy added new, alien ships. The IMK was in the Pax Mongolica, though the young ruler was eager to continue his mission to forge new alliances with other nations in his policy of 'Balance, Equality, and Coexistence'. When it was learned that an ally of their ally, Holy Trek, was in dispute with another nation over the rights to a discovered planet, Toghon-Hulegu was ready to commit the Mongols to the cause.

The Kurultai held in the Golden Gur (actually a building designed like a gur, with gold leaf and gold sheet for the exterior) was a short session, as all the Mongol generals, tribal elders, women, and governors agreed to support Holy Trek and its ally, the Azerothian Union. They would yield their portion of the disputed planet to the A.U. as they considered the planet too far from their nearest military outposts to adequately defend, only participating for the glory. To that end, Toghon-Hulegu sent his veteran fleet admiral, Kitbuqa-Timur, to Temujin Station, where the rest of the 1,200 strong fleet was assembling. In addition, intel-probes were launched toward the opposing nation's borders, where they took up position just outside the legally-recognized boundary for the purpose of collecting subspace, visual, radiation, and cartographic information.

Temujin Station, deep in the core region of Mongol-held space

Kitbuqa-Timur was enjoying his last mug of millet, fermented goat's milk said to be as potent as any alcohol known to the Mongols. Around him, various ships' crews were ending their shore leave and heading for either the transporter rooms or the shuttlebays to return to their ships. In just the last hour, 200 more ships had joined the 1,000 ship fleet already docked outside the hulking cylindrical O'Neil-type station. Like him, many of them were veterans of the recent Cardassian War and were just as eager to bring more glory to the Khanate and its ruler, Toghon-Hulegu. His own flagship, the GKS Temujin was the largest of the ships and just rolled out drydock, replacing his previous command, which had been given to a cousin of the Great Khan. That cousin, Shormaguun, would not be joining the task force, being assigned to conduct a goodwill tour of the Cardassian Enclave systems.

A voice over the comm would grab his attention just as he slammed down the empty mug.

Voice - Admiral, the fleet is assembled and the last of their crews are embarking now

Kitbuqa-Timur - "Very well. Order all ships to stand by. As soon as I transport aboard, set the course to rendezvous with the Imperial fleet. Today, we will fight not for planets, or wealth, but for glory."

Voice - Understood, Admiral

Kitbuqa-Timur rose from his bar-side stool, gave a nod to the bartender, and walked out of the bar. Not being easily inebriated like many of his junior-rank comrades, Kitbuqa-Timur could hold his liquor easily. He strolled down the Promenade and made his way into the transporter room. Three minutes later, he was on the bridge of his flagship, where he took his place in the center seat as the fleet left Temujin Station.

[Inuyashina]

News had reached the Royal Court of the discovery of a planet rich in minerals and other wealth, and the subsequent rivalry over the planet between two blocs of nations. Inuyashina was still coming to grips with the newly expanded borders resulting from the Cardassian War and the increase in population. While there were many who argued against becoming involved in yet another quarrel, those closest to the empress saw in the brewing tensions an opportunity to test Inuyashina's diplomatic abilities. But as the empress advised, it never hurt to have the military ready to possibly act to protect Inuyashina's commercial interests. It was decided that a task force of 150 ships would be sent to a sector adjacent to the trouble zone while at the same time seeking to meet with the other IGF member states to decide whether to pledge the united regional starfleet to the de-escalation efforts.

The IGFS Koujaku was making a routine patrol of the outer west boundaries when Weapons Officer Touga Akimoto received a transmission.

Touga - "Incoming transmission. Long range from another Inuyashinan craft."

Captain Satsu Hashimoto leaned forward in his chair as the other crew members quieted down.

Satsu - "On screen."

Supreme Admiral Elise Le Blanc's face appeared on their screen and all members stood at attention and saluted.

Elise - "At ease."

The crew relaxed and only Satsu remained standing.

Satsu - "To what do we owe the honor of your message."

Elise - "I've come with a message from the empress. You are aware of the current situation on Planet X-931, are you not?"

Satsu - "I have heard tale of it. Its outside our borders I believe."

Elise - "It is but it has the possibility to be a profitable trade partner. The Empress wishes it not be destroyed. Other IGF members are already setting up defenses around it."

Satsu - "What will our part be?"

Elise - "You will head close to the sector and keep watch for now. We can not be the first to attack without reason. You are also to meet up with the other members there and formulate a safe strategy. The empress has assigned 150 ships to meet you there. Do you understand your orders?"

Satsu - "Yes, ma'am. We will execute them to the letter. If battle should occur?"

Elise - "You are to protect the planet and our allies, at all costs."

Satsu saluted again.

Satsu - "Yes, Ma'am."

The communication ended and Satsu sat back looked excited. His commander Aiko Watanabe looked at him.

Aiko in a small voice - "You seem excited, sir."

Satsu smiled - "A chance for battle, to fight, to test our skills. Why shouldn't I?"

Aiko gave a small laugh - "I see."

Navigator Nami Mikan finished punching in the coordinates they'd been given and scoffed.

Nami - "He's right. We are trained and know our roles but have yet to see a battle. This is our chance. You're not scared are you, Aiko?"

Aiko blushed.

Aiko - "No, I just dont want to rush into anything and we're going as watchers and mediators if need be. There's no certainty of a battle."

Touga smiled at Aiko.

Touga - "I'll protect you Aiko. I know this weapon panel like the back of my hand and can handle it as well as my rapier. Of course if you require someone to hold you at night I'm always available for that too."

Aiko blushed deeper.

Aiko - "I never asked for that."

Aiko cleared her throat and calmed herself.

Aiko - "We should be going, captain. We dont want to keep our party waiting for us."

Satsu nodded.

Satsu - "Nami coordinates set in?"

Nami nodded.

Satsu - "Then set a course there at Warp 5."

Nami nodded and the ship began heading there. Satsu sighed to himself, finally after 10 years. His hand nearly shook in anticipation.
