Vyna stood in the cell that was currently his living space for the remainder of her life. The old, rustic prison barge had seen its fair share of convicts come and go, but its time was still very much now as it had been refitted as a transport vessel for the Order of Anah. Vyna's hands clasped the thick, leather bound book, which had clearly seen its fair share of battles judging by the cuts, tears, and weathering of it. On the cover of the book was a symbol, cast in a thin copper like material and roughly screwed on. She hadn't been too sure of who owned the book previously; from what she had read of the scribbling inside, it had been used by a narcotics user, a prostitute, and a pregnant mother. Vyna hadn't seen the book of Anah as gospel, but more of a set of guidelines as to how to live your life, treat others, and become more cosmically aware; and for most of the twenty eight years she had been alive, it had served her well.
"Vy, High Priestess wants us on the bridge." Someone called behind Vyna. Vyna turned, recognising the young person as a training priest. "Something about a planet." He continued, carrying on his way to his destination. Vyna wrapped the book in a linen cloth, left it on her cot.
Vyna approached the bridge, adjusting her knee length dark green robe, which had been layered with a simple black under robe, some basic trousers and leather knee high boots. In the bridge, everyone else had similar clothing and colours, including the High Priestess and acting captain of the Karzon, Mara. "You asked for us, High Priestess?" She began. "I thought we were regrouping with the main fleet."
"As much as we were, the Order goes where it is need." Mara replied, watching as a few more of the Order poured into the bridge. She stood by the control node, a large cylindrical supercomputer covered in pipes, wires, cooling belts and computer screens that helped run the ship. A main console was wired directly facing the node, where as several more were placed throughout the bridge. "We were asked by the main fleet to take a recording of this planet just before we were meant to arrive; unfortunately, it seems that someone has beaten us to it." She continued. She gestured to a wall, which flickered as it projected the bridges view of the ship. "We were just about to send a communications hail to them, but I wanted to talk to you beforehand."
"I revel to listen to your guidance." Vyna replied, taking a place next to the High Priestess. Vyna and Mara had gathered a close, but professional relationship when it came to missions. Vyna's recent promotion to priestess had partially been because Mara's faith and guidance.
"We were requested to do a reconnaissance of this system, and particularly this planet; apparently, according to the Fleet Senate, a probe had scanned the system and deemed it fit for a station. I need you and a team to recover that probe, but slightly more covertly. I don't want that ship knowing we may have been here before, especially if they've got someone on the ground." Mara began. "We've also got a ship report of a colony down there, but we haven't read any life forms; no heat signatures, no recent movements, nothing in terms of radio communications either. I want you to take a look from a distance before coming back. Since you're a priestess now, I think you should be taking on this responsibility."
"Understood, High Priestess. We'll keep it as covered as possible." Vyna said, acknowledging the mission at hand. Vyna had some experience with foreign planets before, but most of those had been on prospecting or delegation duties with some much more weathered priests among the Order. "I'll assemble a team and take one of the Gladiator transports."
"Good; see that the cosmos brings you good fortune." Mara ended, bowing her head slightly. "Communications, send a hail to the ship, open frequencies, send a translation packet just in case."TO: UNKNOWN VESSEL

"High Priestess, they've responded to our hail." One of the crew members who was manning the communications console called. "They're willing to talk over audio."
"Good, send out an open channel." She ordered. It had occurred to her that it did seem odd that their new acquaintances had chosen to go through with audio without a video to accompany it, but she had seen a variety of other beings that had evolved without eyes. She kept an open mind; it wasn't every day there was a habitable, potentially unoccupied planet that could hold the entirety of the Nomadic Fleet.
"This is High Priestess Mara, of the Order of Anah, acting captain of the Karzon. We bring you a peaceful greeting. We have some questions to ask, if you'd be so kind in answering them."
Vyna looked over the box of weapons that had been taken out of storage. The Nomadic Fleet had collected a large variety of technology throughout their forty years of travelling, with conventional weapons using gunpowder to laser projected rifles, all the way to some that most scientists had no clue of how they worked. Her standard layout would usually be a standard MPR, or Modular Printed RIfle. It was the most basic and reliable rifle in the Nomadic Fleet, mainly because it was an easily printable polymer case, it contained a ceramic cap inside that could fire out caseless rounds using a small electric charge, and it could be used from anything involving close quarters combat to launching grenades and rockets.
Vyna had also packed an odd looking revolver; it was a conventional firing weapon, but was built from modern materials and was designed to look rather regal, antique, and very bourgeoisie. She had no idea of its origin, and since it had no serial number, she assumed it had been custom made and whoever owned it had lost it in transit. She slid the revolver int a chest holster, along with several speed loaders into a small pouch just under it. Vyna had also packed several boxes of ammunition, along with several different types of grenade, which lead to her next item; her plasma sabre. Every priestess, who was sufficiently trained, was to build their own plasma sabre, a signature weapon of the various orders of the Nomadic Fleets' cultural history.
Vyna had struggled to build hers due a lack of technical knowledge of the actual mechanics of the sword; super heated plasma was channelled by magnetic coils that had be placed into a sharpened super hardened material. The effect would allow the sabre to super heat the object and cut through it with one stroke. The certain super hardened material, however, was scarce at the moment, and the Nomadic Fleet had requisitioned the material for their own uses; Vyna was lucky to find some from an alien merchants post a few systems away. "Are we ready?" She asked, loading her MPR and then adjusting the sheath of her plasma sabre. She looked around at the small team of people she had assembled; some were criminals that had been left on the barge and had been reformed, while a few others were soldiers that voluntarily joined to bolster some of their numbers. "Let's move out, masks on until we find out the air composition. After that, we recover the probe and assess its blackbox." She ordered, the troops clambering inside the transport.

Captain Erran Bosk
The void of space was filled with blue light as the USCS Leonidas exited hyperspace, returning to normal space after Italy's trip from Sirius. The vessel was of an unsightly, industrial appearance, its grey painted hull made for usefulness and durability, rather than beauty. The Leonidas bore the emblem of the United Stellar Confederation, imprinted on the side of the ships front.
In the Ships bridge, Captain Erran Bosk sat in the captains chair, staring out the viewscreen of the ship, which had no true windows. He noticed that the planet bore a resemblance to most Type-M worlds that had been discovered recently, though whether it were one was still not confirmed. He had served aboard the Leonidas for almost eight years now, and had visited numerous star systems.
He asked his first officer, Toris Huran, his voice respectful and kind "are we picking up anything?"
Tori's nodded and said "sir I'm reading what could possibly be several starships in orbit, they don't read into our database, nor do they match any of the rumors that have come from Centauri."
Erran nodded and said "thank you, what do you think they are doing?"
"Hard to tell from this glance, but they seem to be forming some sort of blockade, so I think we may be looking at either that or an invasion force, though i could be wrong. The behavior could simply be a friendly cultural showing"
Erran nodded and said "let's take it slow, of this is a military action, then we should be very careful with how we approach, least we provoke a hostile response"
"Yes sir"
Erran then said "offer a communication link to the ships, and be sure to record it for future reference"
"Yes sir, link offer sent"
The ships communication array sent out an electromagnetic signal to the starships in orbit of the world, carrying with it the offer to communicate with the Leonidas, which sat cautiously away from the fleet

Theron
Ship: Tolan
The leader of the invasion force was in her chair reading the reports of the invasion. She has a twisted look: She had shark like teeth, her skin is grey. She had little hair on her head. She has one good eye as the other one is covered by deformed skin. All over her deformed body, were sores and old wounds that did not heal properly. As she was reading, a comm officer called to her. She looked up towards the officer who is also looked deformed unlike the rest of the crawlers army.
"Captain Vross, we are getting a signal from unknown ships." It said waiting for a response.
"Do not reply. Continue mission to make planet pure. We will deal with them later." Vross said with a guttural speech.

"Captain, I just word from the ground forces. They have successfully pacified the planet. A total of 50,000 prisoners of been captured and turned, while the rest of the population have been exterminated." He said as Vross nodded and walked back to her chair with a smile on her face. This is great victory and she hoped that her master will be pleased.
"Good. Good. Send transports and pick up our new siblings. We will wait for the masked ones new orders once we get in contact with him."

With the messenger, he walked into a communication room so he can talk to Vross. He nods to one of his men who activates it and an image of Vross appears who then bow her head to the messenger.
"Greeting masked one. I await your command." She says showing a hideous smile on her face. Messenger had a look of disgust on his face when he saw the Vross smile. He decided to ignore it so he can give her new missions.
"My dear Vross. It comes to my attention that their are unknown ships in the area. I am well aware that you know to." he says and Vross nods in understanding. "Good. Then purify them. Make them great in our masters eyes." Vross nods and the screen shuts off. Back with Vross, she opened all communications with the other ship she brought with her.
"The messenger has given new orders: Purify the newcomers that have arrived. Make them see with new light of our masters vision!" She yells with everyone on her ship and the other warship roaring in approval.

Unkown System(Tolan)
USCS Leonidas
Captain Erran Brook
Erran frowned with the continued lack of a response from the Unkown vessels, and he said "how far is our next stop?"
"Just a few minutes at hyperspace sir"
He nodded and "get ready for jump, were not going to learn any...."
"Sir I'm reading those ships beginning to power up weaponry, what do you want to do?"
He frowned and said "get us to hyperspace now, i don't want to stick around and find out why they are getting ready to fire"
"Aye sir, beginning jump to hyperspace"
The ships hyperdrive gave off a flare of energy as it drove the ship through the fabric of reality into hyperspace, the ship moving with great speed towards the next planet on their list.
Captain Erran said "what is on the next world?"
"Supposedly there is supposed to be a Ancient construct on the second world in that system"
He nodded and said "maybe it will tell us who those ships belong to, and maybe even if they are a threat or not"

Vross watched as the unknown ships left in a blink of an eye. Her face twisted in anger then calmed down and faced the comm officer. "They could be still in our territory. Tell the others to be on the look out. They won't again." She walks back to her chair and gave the order to land the ship on the planet. Time to see her new home. What she didn't know that one of the crew members was possessed by the Crawler watching the whole thing. It interested of the newcomers.

Unkown System (near Tolan)
USCS Leonidas
Captain Erran Brook
Erran watched the blur of hyperspace as it passed by his ship, and then watched as it faded as the vessel returned to reality, coming to a stop in orbit of the new world. He studied the area around the planet, worried that perhaps those vessels had followed him, and he asked "Anything?"
"well there is definitely an Ancient construct on the surface, no life signs of any kind, plant or animal, and the atmosphere is unbreathable, id say mostly carbon dioxide"
He nodded and said "so armor is in order, have a shuttle prepared, we need to find out what we can, anything following us?"
"nothing that i can discern, though i dont know for sure, we have no idea what style of FTL those ships use, for all we know it wont appear on our sensors"
He nodded and said "Keep an eye out, if they show up while we are down there, get out of here and head towards the nearest confederation world"
"But sir..."
"No buts, i doubt this world would interest the things aboard those ships, but the information on the ships computers would, and if they are hostile, i do not want to give them the location of the colonies"
"Yes sir"
He tapped something on a control panel and said "Has the admiralty been contacted?"
"Affirmative sir, the Grand Admirals are putting the fleet to full alert in case of an attack< i just hope they have the firepower to defend against those ships"
"With those new cruisers the navy has been building, I hope that they do, for the sake of the confederation, because from the way those ships were acting, we may need to protect ourselves from them eventuually"
"And if we dont?"
"then our days may be numbered< alert me when the shuttle is ready, we cannot afford to waste any time"
