Hail spirits and mortal beings of the galaxy. We were informed of your existence and after much observation, we have decided to reveal ourselves. Fear not, for we come in peace.

We are the Shae'ryl, divine servants forged by Qelae'ata's will to serve them and their children. The innocent Uiatae. To nourish them, fill their lives with contentment, tend to their health and well being, and protect them from the horrors of the world.

All that is of Qelae'ata is Qelae'ata's Realm. And so long as the realm remains undisturbed, there shall be no need for violence.

We expect many changes to come to us in time, but it will be by our measure. Perhaps one day we will grant mortals of other worlds sanctuary in our benevolence, but for now... do not trespass Qelae'ata's holy space, even if you seek our protection. This is our boundry, do not violate it.

As the mortals say, peace follow in your steps.

Praise be.

Message from the 2nd Quadrant

Hello, Xenos of this galaxy of ours. We are the Federal Systems of Hamilonia, a republic that is requesting aid in securing property. While in transit from the Planet of Jo'jayan to the new Colony of A'Dadan, the cargo it was transporting overpowered the guards and took control of an FTL Capable Starship.

This is a massive security issue, for all those who are around, a ship with the cargo in control is no good. In fact, we know that all of our kin who were guarding or piloting the ship died. We saw it on our cameras.

So please, if you can, find and track our ship. We are offering a reward of 10 Million Federal Credits for tracking it down. 60 Million plus cargo if it is recovered.

We hope for the galaxy's help in our harrowing endeavor.

A greeting to all the galaxy

Fellow spacefarers! Coordinator of Prosperity Phollisphen Foraydi extends our richest greetings to you all! We take great pride in our skill at shaping the world to our needs and we are looking forward to see all the inventions and creations of our fellow sapients! So much good will come of exchange between our cultures and industries and we look forward to meeting you all!

A Lesson for all Xenos

It has been some time since we graced galactic comms with our presence. Fear not, xenos, for your saviors have returned!

We Elcons are a charitable people. We have so much and all we want is to share with those who suffer! All you xenos are wretchedly devoid of purpose and meaning in your life: You do not understand the natural order of things as we do, so you do not live in accordance with it, in the way you were meant to live!

Your struggles will soon be over. We understand that you were not born to endure the burden of self-determination. We will take that pain away and you will find fulfillment in servitude to us, your natural superiors.

Many of you do not yet understand. You were misled into believing that you should have some false concept of freedom or that you should be subservient to some other xeno rather than to us. These are the follies that arise from life outside our benevolent guidance! You will be rid of these follies soon enough once you find your proper place with us.

Some of you are so misguided that you would fight to keep from your own good. We are prepared for this: Our mighty Swarms will crush all xeno resistance and bring you a better life, whether you want it or not.

Now, the wise ones among you, please form an orderly line for processing. We'll be with you shortly.

For those who may find this channel, we wish nothing but as peace. While our appearances may be unsettling for those who see us, we are nothing more than friendly. I; High Guardian Bree’ann Trat-More speaks for all who are Abyssari, wishes a welcome to those of friendly natures. For those who wish, we are more than welcomed for any visits of our planets, all though be advised our sea worlds do not have much land.

We are more than happy to share our beliefs and cultures with anyone who wishes, as we have reached the stars for a long while but could never find any other of life forms out there, ones such intelligent as us.

( OOC talk here: Heya! I’m new to this whole Tumblr thing but been watching this tag. My messages are open for those who wanna talk. )

{Beep boop…vreeeeoooom…}

{System booting…detecting existing network…connecting to network…connection complete…beginning broadcast…}

Hello? Hello? Is this coming through? …oh, by the Spirits, I told you this transmitter wasn't ready for deep space! Oh, why did we ever...wait, what? We have transmission?! Wonderful! Open the channel! ...it is open? Well, for how long?! Oh, nevermind! By the Spirits, I say...

Hello? Hello! I speak to you, greater galaxy, on the behalf of the Salorim Regality! We have reached you from the depths of our great cities, deep below the waves. All our colonies greet you in peace and friendship! It has taken much effort to breach the communications shroud around our space, but we have managed it, as I knew we would! I'm not actually sure anyone is receiving this transmission, but if you are, we have enclosed coordinates for our outermost colony world of Abyssal Reach. We invite all to visit! We shall be waiting! Right, now how do we turn this off...?

We have some interesting news, everydrone... but this one feels conflicted. After the crises that caused the Brood unification, the former Tribune was forced to step down after allegations of falsehood.

It was a decision that caused much disagreement, many believed the former Tribune was being mistreated, or prophecy tarnished, while others saw the former Tribune as a false chosen one.

Either way, the former Tribune has been with us for centuries, helping the diplomatic unity of Aradas against a common foe. But with that foe gone, the violence on Aradas is over, and they believe the time has come for them to leave Aradas behind.

They called upon the @najklax hives to retrieve them, the only alien hives who understand Xycan technology and biology well enough to tend to the broken form of the former Tribune.

We welcomed one of their Broodmothers, Zalla, to Mount Exile, where the former Tribune and the remnants of their ship are kept and preserved... We exchanged much knowledge with Zalla, but this one felt an abysmal sadness... Whatever they may have done... We put them aside after everything they did for us. And now we may never see them again.

Broodmother forgive us, and bless the former Tribune and the Najklaxians with many eggs.

In Bleckron's name, I give tidings to you xenos. I am Consul Varom of the Blytzea Republic. I speak for the Blyton, the children of Bleckron.

When the public was first drenched in wave after wave of images of your disgusting forms, there were demands to make an effort to submerge ourselves in comms darkness, prevent first contact, to hide ourselves from you.

And by Bleckron, we did, for a time. But all the while, we've been watching you, and though you throw yourselves into barbarism, with constant bickering, wars, and self destruction. You've shown you're capable of some good, even if you could do better. Perhaps you can do better with our oversight, by Bleckron's cosmic tail.

That being said, we've seen enough to be willing to reach out, as you do have one thing we want. Trade. We will automatically accept reasonable trade deals with anyone - you're all the same to us. So, by Bleckron's shiny maw, you xenos may have safe harbour in our star ports. That is so long as you keep your repulsive forms away from our waters, and come with good intent to trade, and for Bleckron's sake, you don't bring your barbarism with you or interfere in our politics.

For Bleckron!

Hello once again friends, some interesting updates today...

The latest reports from our dig site have come in, our teams have reported that the ruins have become engulfed in a strange purple fog, seeping out of the walls and floors, at first this oddity was merely a foot note but it rapidly started spreading to the rest of the planet. Our researches are baffled as attempts to analyse it are not bearing any fruit. We hope the arrival of our friends in the @elepharchy and the @darexirepublic can be of help.

Following up on our bandit hunt, our peace keepers have been able to track faint FTL disruptions to another system, there they have found a large ocean world, home to a small Pre FTL civilisation. Our security forces have begun establishing a small out post to watch over this humble civilisation less the bandit menace seek to plunder them unabated.

And lastly, our northern most outpost has report yet another increase in raiding activity, Several attempted raids have been thwarted thus far but barely. If this keeps up i fear a more proactive approach will be required of us.

Several starships have been seen departing from SMOOCH facilities in the Kotaur system. They have made no public statement, but based on their trajectory, they seem on their way to support the @union-replicants in the current incident. The Beneficent League for the Advancement and Defence of Ethics has published a statement condemning this action and organised protests at several facilities known for supplying SMOOCH.

Greetings citizens of the Union and members of the galactic community! This is Union News Central, and unfortunately we have very bad news.

Our contacts in the navy report that the Union has entered a state of emergency, with hostile vessels crossing into our space in the Qeng System, Neseth System, Zang System, and Loth System at this time. Though there may be more intrusions we're unaware of here at UNC, as the navy is tightening its grip on the control of information.

The identity of these attackers is still mostly unknown, though preliminary data suggests they may be of one of the ex-Khanate remnants.

Stay safe out there, citizens. We'll update you with more as soon as we can. Solace in the Union.

We are pleased to inform you of our successful reconnection with the Baldarak station. We have received an explanation that due to insufficient reaction of several first stages of the experiment, more astral thread was introduced, causing a chain reaction which created a rift-like structure. The contact was lost during stabilisation of the object, resulting in a several different anomalies, for example duplication of one of our scientists. Nevertheless, we shall still research this curious phenomena. We inform that the ban on transportation in Baldarak system and hyperlanes leading is still in effect.

A Formal Greeting

Fellow Sentients of the Galaxy. I am President Ra'daan of the Federal Systems of Hamilonia. I would like to explain a few things about our nation as it is now clear to us that our asking for aid may not be greeted with the support that we wished to have seen. Our nation is, first and foremost, a Republic. It is also expanding in both industrial capacity and size. A great deal of habitable planets are near our borders and we are expanding every day to get them into our country. Many of our own Hamilonians are, on their own and without approval, expanding out into the wilds there. There are a few major internal issues, one of which was whether we should contact other advanced alien species, which has clearly been seen as a success. If you wish to know more about the internal issues, do say, as we can always translate the National Gazette into this common tongue that is used in interstellar communications. We, like all others, wish to ensure the safety and prosperity of our future generations and thus greet all those who will see this with friendship and trade. Thank you for your time.

By decision of the National Chamber, the space you occupy is rightfully ours. You have already detected the inbound Freedom Swarm. It is now at your border.

You have one chance to submit to your natural superiors. Otherwise we will make you submit.

Your worlds will be integrated into the Elcon Systems. Oversight officers will arrive to introduce your people to their true place in the natural order. To expedite the procedure prepare for the construction of slave processing facilities on all your planets.

You have one of your xeno hours to surrender. We await your response.

Hail mortals and spirits of other realms, hark unto us as we have a request. Ordinarily we would not seek your kind out for wisdom, but this is an arcane matter we know very little of. And we need your understanding of a realm...

That is, the accursed realm known to you as the 'Shroud'. A realm so corrupt and hidden that our divine wisdom cannot seem to fathom it, a realm from which demons seep out, possess Qelae'ata's children, cursing them with witchcraft, disrupting the peace and tranquillity we design by spreading chaos and despair whenever a breach into our divine realm is made. The architect of sanctuary is displeased by its threat, and the threat is escalating.

A small cluster ghostly ships of damnation manifested in an outer lying system, harassed a star base, and before Qelae'ata's righteous fury could descend upon them, they vanished.

We remained silent about the incident, until we knew more. We did not know what the vessels were, from whence they came, nor how they appeared from nothingness. After scrying the space, we learned of the essence of what they were. Shroud things. Why they would mock Qelae'ata by taking the form of ancient Uiatae vessels from the unholy age is beyond us, such is the way of the 'Shroud' to us. A mystery.

However, another cluster of 'Shroud' ships have manifested in our holy space, violating Qelae'ata's will once more. We shall visit great and divine justice upon them but what we need most is your charity, oh strange mortals and spirits of distant realms.

Teach us of the 'Shroud', of these ships, and most importantly, how to protect the Uiatae from further incursions from the 'Shroud' realm. We shall permit limited entry to our space to such arcanists. Come unto us.

Do so, and you shall have Qelae'ata's grace.
