Flash Priority Transmission Sent: 11/6/0007 1627hrs, Border Defense Station Beta-Five To: Unknown Domain Vessels, Talos System
<Message Begins>
You are under strict orders to cut your drives and state your intentions in the Talos system. Any attempt to move further in-system, translate out, or activate active defenses or targeting will be met with swift and deadly force.
<Message Ends> The Hounds cut their drives however their weapons remain powered up and the ships begin scanning the border defence station. The lead ship replies: We are the hounds, operating from the Domain. We are currently engaged in scouting duties. You have no authority to dictate our actions in this system, however we are aware that there is a... delicate situation at present, and so are prepared to compromise. As an alternative to us scouting the system ourselves, you may provide us with detailed information on this systems resources and escort us to the other jump node so that we may continue on our mission. Any hostile action taken against us will be considered an act of war, and we are sure you agree that to face conflict on two fronts is undesirable. We shall await your reply.

You shown no regard for honour or peace. You have persistently delayed negotiations by your failure to come into contact. You have persistently lied and attempted to tarnish our name.
And now evidence points to you attempting to sabotage any chance of peace further by collaborating with the Domain.
You clearly wish for no peace between us, so no peace there shall be. Our fleets will not stop until you no longer pose a threat to us or our allies.
We would commend your souls to Deathspire, but any who stand by your pathetic, cowardly regime face only oblivion.

Flash Priority Transmission Sent: 08/15/0007 1924hrs, Commanding Officer: RTN First Fleet Target: Valiaas System Commander and Government, Valii System
<Message Begins>
All Valii forces:
We have just received orders to consider all Valii forces hostiles and we are prepared to act accordingly. We are initiating operations against all forces and production centers here in the Valii system immediately after your receipt of this message.
Attached is the official declaration of war from His Majesty's Parliament, in addition to a message from the Foreign Office.
In addition, we would like to inform you that we will be allotting time for civilian evacuation from your stations here before we open fire. Please inform your production stations that they will have one standard hour after we enter orbit to evacuate before we fire upon them. I would suggest you get to it right away.
<Message Ends>
Attached Message:
To: Government of the Valiaas, ATTN Krias Immara From: Sir Maurice Wood, Foreign Secretary
The government of Talos has seen fit to declare war upon your star nation, as of this afternoon. This, along with the attached declaration, can be considered your official and legal notice. All of our units will begin operations against the Valii immediately.
We have managed to acquire some damning evidence associating you with the Domain of the Steel God, a threatening entity in the galactic east that has already annihilated a star nation with no clear provocation or cause. In addition, your lack of faith and participation in the peace talks with Deathspire strongly suggests ulterior motives on your part, which we can only view as threatening. Finally, your failure to adequately assist our allies the Republic brings your good faith as a part of the coalition into question.
The peace talks in the Silent Reaches were held without you, and they were a success, as we are no longer at war with Deathspire. Instead, several parties brought forth evidence backing our suspicions of your cooperation with the Domain. This has led us to consider you a direct threat to us, and we have acted accordingly. Hopefully once your production abilities have been neutered, we can convince you to act in good faith.
Good day to you, sirs.
Flash Priority Transmission Sent: 08/15/0007 1940hrs, Admiralty House, Planet Talos Target: All Talosian units.

All units, Operation Bluejay is go. Repeat: Operation Bluejay is go.

Good day to you, sirs. From: House Immara Stellar Council To: Kingdom of Talos Halt your attack, fools, before you condemn our both factions to destruction! House Savaaik is renown among Immara for their deceptiveness, the Neo-Terran Republic has launched a terrorist strike under the cover of a diplomatic action, but all that fades compared to this! The Immara value loyalty above all. It seems that it is a rare virtue among your people. We have forged an alliance, we stood together in battle, all in good hope, and now, when we need your help most, as the enemy has breached our blockade, you stab us in the back? At least let us answer your unfair accusations. It seems that someone has been feeding you false information all the time. In fact, we now believe that there is a traitor stirring up trouble among us. First, we have never had contact with the Domain. On appeal of House Savaaik, we have granted them permission to travel through our space, nothing more. We have no quarrel against them -- why should we treat them as hostiles, in the name of your peace? You have never expressed any sign of hostility towards them. If those are your enemies, why not pursue them instead of your allies? In Silent Reaches, we have clearly stated our intention to cooperate. We have even convinced the Savaaik to stand down and join us in the negotiations. We have asked for an invitation to the peace talks, alas, we have never received one. Has this been a work of an unknown saboteur too? And instead of that, just as our forces were withdrawing from Silent Reaches, we find a Deathspire fleet with weapons armed on our backs. Is this the peace you have agreed upon? And last, you accuse us of neglecting our alliance. Let me ask you, how many ships had the Kingdom lost in the war with the Deathspire? How many Republic men died defending their home after the Omega Ceti battle? It has always been Valii forces standing in the front lines. We lost hundreds of brave people to stop the Imperium from finishing what they started with Omega Ceti. It was the Valiaas who ensured that this alliance would live. We have never had anything but the good of our three worlds in mind. And now, when we ask for the alliance to help us in return, we get a knife in the back. We are not prophets, but we can tell you one thing with certainty: if our alliance falls apart, both Talos and Neo-Terra will turn into ruins. You will wish that your people had never discovered the Jump Nodes. The Immara fleet is the only thing standing between you and certain destruction. The Valiaas are powerful, courageous, and brave people. Consider well whether you want to eliminate your strongest, and last, ally. Please reconsider your premature decisions. We end this message with an old Valii saying: May the stars shine on your path, and may the sky be bright wherever you go.

The Hive queen sits in her Regeneration Chamber and directly addresses the Hive mind.
"My children, our goal has changed. Maximum efficiency is no longer relevant. We are as efficient as ever. Now, we set out to make our own path, our own destiny. We will venture out from our little corner of the quadrant and we will meet the creatures the Steel God spoke of. The Galaxy is waiting for us to make ourselves known. What do you say?"
"We are the Hive and we will serve our Queen.
"Good children. Transfer five tactical cubes to the Steel God. He has graciously given us our new Unimatrix. Send a single Cube beyond the Domain's borders. Let us see who we find."
While the Collective carries out their duties, the Queen opened a direct link to the steel god himself
"Mighty Steel God, tell your hounds to be our harbingers. Tell them to let the creatures know: We are coming."

Across the Empires of the universe, readings from science stations go off the charts.
A new jump lane has opened, from SYS-17 to an unknown system. A broadcast echos from the depths, a deathly wail screams its way on to every speaker capable of emitting sound.

Broadband transmission to the following recipients; * Neo-Terran Republic * Interstellar Kingdom of Talos * House Immara * House Savaaik * New Eden Corporation * Deathspire Imperium
"Beware the Perversion calling itself the Hive. They seek nothing but destruction. To destroy you and add your strengths, your resources, and your people to itself. It will take all, and nothing will remain of you when it is done.
If you require proof, we shall gladly grant it. Heed our words. Do not let yourselves be so destroyed as the Union was."

*The following is braodcast throughout everywhere in Republic transmission range, with messenger drones taking it to every system in the galaxy*
A woman with red hair nice and tightly done up in a bun,a nd wearing a dark blue buisness suit that contrasts the pale skin shared by the natives of the cold world of Neo-Terra. behind her is the logo of the Republic and she smiles towards the viewers.
People of the galaxy, those we have perhaps not even met yet, I am speaker Thrace of the Neo-Terran senate, and I come before you all today to speak to you of the terrible wars that have engulfed us recently.
Clips of the many various battles in the west play breifly
We were the first nation we know of to suffer full scale war, the Children of Light lay waste to our fleet and bombarded our world. And many of us were angry, so so angry, angry nough that some people made terrible choices that cannot be undone.
And yet, when the time came for us to go out to the Children again, they offered us somthing we had not expected, peace, and so we thought, perhaps our rage is wrong, perhaps both sides were wrong, or misunderstood or even scared.
So, we come before you now, to declair our neutrality. The Republic wishes never again to face the spectre of war over our world.
Yet as we proposed this we thought, whwat of you, the people of the galaxy, you areall suffering like we were, some perhaps more so.
And so we have an offer for you all, we propose that we of Neo-Terra host a grand sumit, all of you, representetives from every space faring nation are invited, on the condition that no ship fires a shot while in the Omega Ceti system. Let us all coem together and talk, I'm sure we have much to share, the strange phenomonon we all recorded from the East is of great concer I'm sure, but not only that we are all of us civilised beings, let us try and solve our differences like them shall we not?
We happily await your replies and envoys, but would like to declair that Republic space be considered a no-combat zone, anyone who breaks this rule will be barred from the talks.
The woman smiles as the image fades, the message displaying Omega Ceti's navigational cordinates, and outlininged the nuetrality agreement of no combat in Republic space

Transmission from Polaris to all systems west of the polaris line:
Our interactions with your empires have been limited. We intended to traverse your space in peace to deal with an enemy of ours. We opened diplomatic channels with you. Our understanding of your coalition is limited, and so we approached those closest to us. Now, you have chosen to repay our efforts with an attack on those who chose to be our allies. We are different than you, but we have attempted to follow your ways of doing things. We have attempted to make ourselves more approachable. We have attempted to be a part of the wider galaxy rather than a law unto ourselves. We now understand our efforts have been for nought. As of today we no longer recognise your territorial claims. We are declaring our right to travel where we wish whenever we wish. Any attempt to stop us will be met with force.
Transmission from Polaris to Omega Ceti:
You will clear an orbital space of your choosing for one vessel. Any ship approaching without permission will be destroyed.

Reply to Polaris:
We are clearing the following cordinates, we are also commencing work on a meeting station, if you could transmit any special atmospheric requirments for your dignatries it would be of great help.
Your ship will be given the space you requested as well.

You decision to withdraw from alliance is regrettable, but understandable. We shall respect your territory as neutral unless it no longer becomes tenable to do so.
Our promise to aid in your rebuilding holds, and our envoy will bring what they can.

Reply to Children Envoy:
We thank you for your continued support, and are preparing chambers that will allow your envoys to wlak around without enviromental suits, we would ask that your envoy share with us the exact specifications of your requirments, to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
