(sorry for not responding, am i allowed to say my people are already in the chamber in their seats?)
The First Councillor peeks his eye, he looks like he wants to say something but is holding his tongue, listening and waiting his turn to speak.
Dunn reacts with shock, whispering angerily "Why weren't we made aware of this?" he demands, one of his soldiers outside talking to Pharans soldiers can see the slight commotion through the windows.
One of the crewman aboard the VES Brave intercepts the message and looks to his commanding officer. "Separatists sir, of Vyridani origin, they're carrying the Queen and her supposed heir."
The Captain nearly chokes on his drink after hearing of the royal family but composed his self after looking towards the ruined and battered ships. "Get in contact with Grand Admiral Durvan Ka'ent and tell him of the situation. You!" He points to another meek crewman. "Tell the fleet that the Ambition will be moving in for a contraband scan. Follow standard protocol with derelict ships.
The VES Ambition begins to move in between the damaged ships of the Aeros fleet and bogs to perform scans on the ships, looking for illegal contraband of any signs of smuggling. The VES Brave meanwhile would broadcast its message. "This is the VES Brave, the VES Ambition is performing a routine scan, any attempt to power your offensive or defense systems will cause you to be fired upon, seeing that you have survivors on your ship we will be willing to send lifeboats to escort members off and give them medical attention.
The east pacific islands Chairmen Reed looks at the Arvugian Delegation, “Would you like to speak first then?” ————————— Pharan: “Well it doesn’t matter now. Doesn’t seem like anyone is planning anything. Besides it’s not like we can’t handle our own affairs. On top of that if this was known the talks would fall through and there would definitely be bloodshed. The Government’s set up. The Anarchists aren’t gonna do anything.”
The Councillor replies "I am most terribly sorry for the interjection but i must correct the record when faced with the statement that the syndicates are under "attack" by the capitalist powers, no doubt a reference to the Commonwealth and the Federation. We are here to establish a Common cause, a Common interest, and a Common coexistence, our own Kalinsk Manifesto allows for the existence of democratic governance under socialist ideology provided that it is genuinely democratic, if the Syndicates meet the characteristics of a democracy, and does not infringe on our sovereignty, then we're more than very happy to extend the branch of friendship in all fields, technological, defence, socially, economically etc, that is all."
--------------------------
"Even then, our primary duties as part of the Commonwealth Peacekeeping Force on Anzio mandate the stability of the planet, even the smallest or most nonexistent of threats may be more pressing than one could possibly imagine, do you understand our stance on this issue now" Dunn explains, calming himself down.
The east pacific islands “Incorrect”, Reed says moving his hands together, “I refer to the recent persecution of Leftists across the Galaxy. And I make delusions. Imagine what happens with us proving to the world our system is fairer, cleaner, and more successful? Those persecuting leftists may look to snuff the spark. Our uprising has caused a reaction in certain other Nations with a rise of leftist action. And as I understand, based on records received by one of the Daughters of the now Missing empress, both of your nations have a history of violence with leftists. So yes, we are under attack. The fact of the matter is that from day one communists and anarchists try to put our plans into action we are on the defensive. Inevitably I fear a war on the horizon from the other powers, and history has shown liberal democracies will work with far right elements if it means stopping us. Perhaps you all are different. If your focus is democracy, than you can describe Anarchism as Ultra democracy. More extremely democratic with some processes of sortition and constant rotation of leadership.” He leans back, “The fact of the matter is sir is we feel threatened. And we are getting ready for conflict on any border which may come towards us. And I know that we’re likely to not find any friends.” ——————————————————— “Very well.” Pharan replies.
Outside a group of anarchists would be watching the militia in heavy coats near an alleyway, seeming to smoke some kind of narcotic.
"Understood." the admiral quickly responds. "All of our ships are not authorised to activate their defensive systems. As we are unfamiliar with your laws, I'll tell just tell you basically what we're carrying." The admiral clears his throat. "Heavy anti-ship plasma mounted weapons, heavy plasma excavation cannons, thousands of military grade strike craft, thousands of military grade plasma firearms, military grade armoured vehicles, rations that are suitable for our peoples to safely eat, and few medical supplies that our peoples can safely use. Although the offer of giving our wounded medical aid is appreciated, I must refuse. You are alien to us. Our peoples have never been in contact with each other before. Our bodies may react differently to your medicine." He stops to pause before resuming. "What is to happen to us? I understand we're trespassing, although it was completely by chance we ended up here."
The Vyridan fleet opens the battle with a barrage of plasma lances, which the EmdOrian first line mostly manages to avoid thanks to the cruisestars' enhanced maneuverability. However, the ships lack any form of shielding, and with durable but sparse coverage of armour, half a dozen cruisestars that were hit are temporarily disabled, with three critically damaged.
In retaliation, the entire EmdOrian fleet makes its opening move by launching all of their anti-ship missiles. With 30 each for a total of 6480 missiles, screaming rapidly towards the Vyridan fleet, the purpose is to saturate and overwhelm the enemy fleet's shielding and point-defense weaponry, if not outright destroying them. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ The next phase occurs simultaneously.
Under the cover of the massive barrage, the first line of cruisestars opens fire with their forward cannons, occationally targeting the enemy vessels' excavator cannons. The second line rapidly ascends into station above the Vyridion fleet, where they angle their long ventral cannons and begin showering the enemy vessels with projectiles. The thirdline descends below the Vyridan fleet, where they roll inverted and also begin firing their main guns (this orientation makes sense in space). This display of maneuvers and positioning demonstrates the EmdOrians' creative use of their vessels' limitations. Since all of a cruisestars' guns are located on its belly and bow, where all of its armour also are located, the EmdOrian commanders have positioned their vessels to maximize their firepower and protection.
Meanwhile, each of the extreme flanks of the battleline are covered by 648 Hunters and 864 Raiders. The Raiders, in their squadrons, zig-zagged in formation as they cautiously approached the flanks of the Vyridan fleet, seeking opportunities to launch their payload of anti-ship missiles. The Hunters hangs back and prepares a protective screen to cover the Raiders once they finish their attack runs.
All these maneuvers unfortunately denies the Vyridans the slugfest they were preparing for. With their heavier ships the Vyridans would probably weather some of the incoming fire, and possibly even make a breakthrough, but not without intense damage. The EmdOrian fleet, attacking quite aggressively from five directions, hopes to pin the Vyridan fleet against Korinthias and catch them in a cross-fire.
"That statement, 'both of your nations have a history of attacking leftists' Is fundamentally incorrect in regards to Arvug, as a society we hadn't much in in the way of any Marxist politics because marx and his ideology literally did not exist to us until we made first contact with the GRB, our first friend in the galaxy, I need not remind you that the GRB, being a socialist state, is 'far left'"
With the fighting on the Serdian front dying down, Neo-Serdia quietly dispatches the modified destroyer/carrier hybrid warship SMS Gambier Bay (DCH-2) to the Anarchism wracked hell-hole that is the former Imperium, the light warship arriving over the planet Anzio after a (rather suprisingly) short journey.
"Is this it?" "Yep, Anzio it appears... Alright." Captain Stryker sighed in his chair, pressed the intercom and barked out his orders. "Crew prepare for Reentry, I want all crew with Normal suits on within the next two minutes." With a dramatic sweeping motion of his arm, Stryker barks out "Prepare to Engage Minovsky Flight System!" To his bridge crew, who oblige, the hybrid warship, The Gambier battening itself down and begining it's reentry down onto the planet below.
The Serdian Government recently (as of the undeclared Ceasefire with Aaron.) had come to an agreement with the Arvug Commonwealth to send a ship over to the troubled world of Anzio to aid the Commonwealth in it's peacekeeping efforts.
While the Office of Defence openly welcomes Serdia's contribution to the Commonwealth Peacekeeping Force on Anzio, the Office of Foreign Affairs has been left in a flurry of panic following leaks and media reports that they were not made aware of this.

Reed looks over his notes, “Oh yes it seems I misread that. My apologies. You can imagine I just have alot going on in my Noggin.” He clears his throat, “But you can at least understand my predicament. Especially as most socialist nations are usually attacked and kept on our heels by far right and centrist forces in general. I understand your Kalinsk Manifesto is a little flawed however. We’re not a socialist state, that’s a Marxist-Leninist concept, not to be confused with marxists and Leninists, we’re a statless society. Statless society means we simply don’t have all of the same institutions as you. So no prisons, no police, no poverty. If you want you can think of us as “Ultra-directly democratic” with a mixed system with sortition. Everyone leads themselves and makes contracts with their local syndicate or commune or workers’ council or coop. The power is primarily local. We of course would like assistance from GRB given that they would accept us in the face of animosity between Communists and Anarchists. But this is all besides the point, the fact is we are worried that we will be the target of a full scale operation by the galactic powers to wipe us out. Surely you have heard of the purges in Seisan and other places? And perhaps the white terrors on terra? Maybe even the persecution of communists under the old empire? I want this confederacy of independent systems to be safe, so I want to ask you both, what is that going to require, because I cannot speak for what my people will decide to do down the line, the fact is that we are all ideologically diametrically opposed as anti-capitalists and capitalists. You can use your whataboutism and I’m sure you will, but I can go back as well and mention the oppressions people face daily around the galaxy from capitalism. People are genocided by powers and people like me have watched forever, You can’t expect common people, now empowered for the first time in millennia, to not want to take up their weapons and rush to their a-“ The woman taps his arm while holding a datapad, “Sir it seems an unidentified Ship has entered Anzio’s atmosphere, it seems to be a group called the “Serds” and it seems they’ve violated the space of Anzio, the Federation and Arvug all simultaneously without anyone’s explicit or any consent.” Reed simply sits there silently, “I take it this wasn’t planned? Anyways that brings us to our current problem, Anzio. The Anarchists and Communists and Liberals are all very miffed about the whole affair, and I know this referendum could end in bloodshed, and that’s bad for all of us. So let’s put our noggins together to see what we can come up with.” The east pacific islands Great serdia (THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS, GENTLEMEN!!!)
The Gambier Bay successfully enters Anzio's atmosphere without incident, the carrier flying it's way over the war torn planet towards the main Base of operations for the Federal/Commonwealth peacekeeping mission.
Captain Stryker stroked his chin and then turned to the Comms officer to ask: "Is the IFF Code working?" "Yep, we're broadcasting one." The Comms officer replied. "Alright, send a message to the commanders in charge of the Federal and Arvug peacekeeping operations, tell them we'll arrive in..." Stryker stroked his chin once more before an officer perked up. "ETA... Five hours." "Good, tell them that." Stryker responded, turning to the Comms officer as he began to hail the local Feddie/Commonwealth forces. "This is the S.M.S. Gambier Bay of the Serdian Navy, reporting in for 'Operation: Just Cause' our ETA is about four or five hours, just give us landing directions and we'll be all set." The Comms officer finished, pulling his headset off and breathing a sigh for no discernable reason, with this, Gambier bay continues on her course.
With the ceasefire on the Serdian front the Aaronian armada there pulls back to resupply and refit before being deployed along the Vukmiri front in concentrated assaults on two separate systems on opposite sides on the Vukmiri border.
With this influx of Thousands of 'fresh ships' the Vukmiri lines would surely start to crumble under the might of the armada.
Vukmire
The crew of the two ships begin to whisper to eachother on the bridges. The captain before activates the comms and looks towards the fleet. "Remain stationary, several Vukmiri ships are on the way."
Over the course of the hour several older and replaced models of Vukmiri battleships as well as cruisers begin to join around the damaged fleet in an ominous loop. Soon enough the leaders of the Aeros fleet would be transmitted a message. "This is Admiral Durvan Ka'ent of the Vukmiri Expeditionary Force and leader of this task force. Upon scanning of your ships, illegal transit of high value persons, smuggling of weapons, and illegal transit of several banned foodstuffs has been detected. As Admiral I invoke the 35th clause of the New Vukmiri Constitution and place direct sentancing on those associated with the fleet. You will be charged with Trafficking, Smuggling , and trespassing. Your sentence is the destruction of your fleet.
Moments after the message is relayed the loop begins to fire upon the damaged fleet.
The former Casanese colonies have remained rather neutral in multiversal affairs so far, relying on peaceful coexistence to ensure their survival while building up their numbers for the inevitable reconquest of their homeland. However, in doing such, they had neglected to deal with their nearest pretender faction; the exiled fleet of Admiral Hamiko Saze, whose location and numbers have been completely unknown since the expert at long-term self-sustained shadow warfare first vanished from the radar. Most assumed her to have died somewhere, concluding her millennium-and-a-half of service. However, no such fate had befallen her, and those in the know had long since dreaded being subjected to one of her campaigns, and meeting an end before her rather brutal demoralising tactics as the claimant makes a go for the Imperial throne.
Their fears become reality today.
Already, Admiral Hamiko Saze has taken out several border listening posts, duping high command into believing everything to be in the clear by mimicking the regular reports expected of such stations with proper authentication codes. Now, her fleet was pushing deeper into colonial space, completely unchallenged, as they neared the capital. A quick, precise, surgical strike to take the throne, with minimal casualties and little room for recourse.
"Admiral, we're approaching Yanko-i-Mu."
"Good, good. Maintain course, and send the signal. It's time to give these rebels a fitting end."
Nodding, the junior lieutenant on comms sends the message to the small strike force - composed of the exact firepower estimated to be necessary to take the system and not a gun more - to go into combat readiness mode.
Arriving in the system, the old grand admiral finds exactly what she expected, as a meagre defence force of just a few hundred ships patrol the sector. With her own forces, numbering less than 100 ships, she knew she had the upper hand as her ships dropped out of FTL in strategic positions. Opening fire, the colonial ships are caught completely by surprise in a deadly crossfire, and quickly forced to withdraw, making emergency jumps out of the system. They wouldn't get far, however, as her light picket forces interdict them less than a light year out of system and force them to surrender, capturing the ships and crews.
With the system defences cleared, the main assault forces move into orbit over the system seat and begin launching dropships to deploy marine forces into the capital. In doing such, they catch the defence forces completely out of position and by surprise, easily capturing the majority and routing the remainder. Without much incident, the city is taken. However, the Imperial Palace itself is a different matter, as the Palace Guard put up a valiant defence and manage to prevent any of the attackers from entering the premises, forcing a prolonged siege. The Empress herself is offworld with her elite Royal Guard and as such completely safe, but losing the palace would nevertheless be a massive blow to morale and her legitimacy.
This siege does not last long, as Saze orders the captured government officials from the nearby government chambers be marched in front of the palace grounds and summarily put on pikes, impaled alive before the defenders as a means to shatter their morale. This works well, and the palace defenders throw down their arms when promised to be spared such a brutal fate. Soon after moving the captured palace guards out of the palace proper, the admiral orders the palace glassed from orbit, her flagship firing a precision beam of white-blue plasma at the palace building, reducing it to a smoldering glass crater.
With one precision strike, the Taedan capital had fallen, the traitor government was captured and executed, and Saze had won the birthright she had been denied for a millennium and a half, crowning herself as Empress Hamiko, the Wolf Queen. A perfect coup. Before the fires had even gone out, she began repealing many of Yanko's more authoritarian governmental reforms, returning more power back to the people and reinstating democracy where previously it had been abolished, transitioning what by all measures had become an oligarchy back into the parliamentary socialist republic it had previously been, much to the joy of her newly conquered subjects, many of whom didn't even realise there was a coup going on until Saze's cornation announcement.
The large volley of missiles proves successful in distracting the Vyridan point defence. Larger ships such as battlecruisers and battleships have an abundance of point defence and would be more than capable of fending off the missiles. Smaller ships, however, especially those outside of the capital ships point defence radius, are not as fortunate, while their shields absorb the impact of the missiles they are, eventually, overwhelmed, and the shields give out, exposing the ships armour and weapon systems. Normally, at this point, in a slugfest, at least, those ships would be pulled back behind the line, and replaced with fresh ships while they recharge their shields. This is not an option now. The EmdOrian fleet successfully circle the fleet.
The EmdOrian cruisestars targeting the excavation cannons from ships that have their shields disabled would successfully disable the weapon! Although, its destruction is not as devastating to the ship, as the weapon was not being charged. The Vyridan have no intention of charging their excavation cannons, especially since it would mean powering down their shields to charge, as well as the fact that the EmdOrian cruisestars are aware of ships weak spot. The cruisestars are also too small of a target for it to be worthwhile charging it up.
As the EmdOrian fleet begins its encirclement, the ships that still have their shields operational cycles them back to their default coverage, which would be shielding the entirety of the ship, rather than focusing all shielding to one specific area. With the fleet now firing on them, the Vyridan ships without shielding now begin to take hull damage. Although Vyridan ships are designed for slugfests and to take a beating and still go on kicking, the exposed ships hull's can only take so much before they begin to penetrate. Ships that still have their shielding now become stressed, with the continuous showering. With the battlefield changing, the admiral divides the fleet into 3 separate battle groups, that are each tasked with pushing back an EmdOrian flank.
As the EmdOrian ships get closer, the Vyridan ships opt out the plasma lance for more 'close quarters' The Vyridan tactic at this point is to rush the flanks, and overwhelm the enemy with continuous railgun fire and plasma torpedoes. And so, the 3 battle groups do just that. Battle group 1 tackles the central flank, battle group 2 the lower flank, and battle group 3 the upper flank. When the battle groups get close enough to their targets, they all unleash a barrage of railgun cannon fire, followed by a volley of plasma torpedoes, as well, they scramble their bombers, to target the nearest cruisestars, unleashing their own payload of plasma torpedoes.
Lastly, although badly outnumbered, the admiral has to react to the bombers approaching from the hard flanks. With all of his warships dedicated to fighting the cruisestars, he has to rely on the fighters. He orders every ship to scramble their fighters and interceptors, splits them up into two groups, and orders them to the hard flanks. However, rather than ordering them to engage the hunters and raiders, he instead orders them hold the area. The admiral is gambling that the fighters will act as a deterrent and cause the EmdOrian bombers to pull off from their course.
All while this is happening, the admiral begins to record the battle, broadcasting it back to the Ministry of Information, so that, even if the battle is lost, the Vyridan would learn something from this new enemy.
The SMS Gambier Bay has finally reached it's destination, the Serdian warship quietly landing down on the largest available clearing in the airfield, extending small landing legs as it touches down. "Good landing." Captain Stryker commented, the ship's crew almost immediately begining to prepare unloading the Destroyer/carrier hybrid of its Marine Passenger compliment and their equipment. "This is Gambier Bay to tower, requesting a little assistance for the unloading of men and materials." The Comms officer radioed to the tower, the Gamby's great hangar doors opening to allow Serdian Marines (who had been sitting in the hangars on rapidly assembled and bolted on seats in the center.) began to pour out, Meanwhile ontop of her hangar roof, Engineers begin to unbolt several large containers loaded with Marine equipment (said containers were bolted to Gambier Bay's hangar roof.) a Serdian engineer turning to one of his many Federal counterparts and said. "Y'all got a crane you can help us here with?" Tilting his head in a somewhat tired manner as he watched the engineers fumble about the ship's hangar roof, unbolting the medium-sized shipping containers loaded with vehicles and equipment.
Meanwhile Captain Stryker, having removed his normal-suit once again turns to his Comms officer. "Contact the Base commander so I can meet him, I want to discuss what our operations in the Area are to be." He said, the Comms officer nodding and requesting Stryker's meeting with whoever is in charge of the Federal/Commonwealth peacekeeping operations on the planet Anzio.
“With all due respect sir, I can’t promise my people won’t move between borders and do what they believe is right should you folks have leftist uprisings on movements, just as I’m sure you wouldn’t be able to in ours. So while Our confederation won’t do anything, I cannot promise that our people will not. At this moment in time however our people are more enraged at the monarchs and fascists around our borders, and I feel as though your complacency with their existence is just as troubling as supporting them. You evidently seem to push over, you let a damned military presence into an area under your protection without consent after the fact.” Reed coughs in a handkerchief and looks down at the blood, visible to anyone nearby of the fact of the matter. “Anzio is a matter we can at least all agree upon.” He clears his throat before speaking again, “What I propose is perhaps just let the liberals lose because they’re less likely to make a fuss. They’re all about “peaceful protest” and all that so let them stomp their feet like children.” The Cat woman lets out a small snicker and begins smirking. “Kinda a low blow but he’s right. Liberals aren’t exactly the most violent sort. And technically should the communist win they won’t rebel against a democratically elected state, except for maybe the reactionaries who can easily be dispatched without much of an issue.”
Workers in the space port in Anzio refuse to do any work for the Serdian ship, seeing it as nothing more than an occupation. At this point many leftists groups around Anzio begin making statements denouncing the federation and Arvug and Serdians for this blatant violation of the treaty established by the Anzio Government and the Two other parties. The Anzio government petitions Arvug and The Federation to remove the Serdians while workers begin. To Barricade the Space port and bar any Arvug or Federation officials or peacekeepers from getting into the Serdian ship’s port.
The First Councillor upon hearing the news of the Serdian ship from the various speakers of the conference audibly sighs, putting his hand on his face in frustration. "Don't look at me, I'm just as much in the dark about the Serdians as you are" he tells the conference members, turning to his aide "I want as much information regarding the Serdian deployment so we can deal with the......complications it has caused" he finishes.

"If I may interject back into this little discussion of ours..." The original Federation representative got out of his own stupor and then said rather abrasively, "With all due respect, the Federation itself is surrounded by more than a few crazies in the neighborhood ourselves. We have a militant theocracy and two large empires that have expansionistic aims towards each other to the west of our borders at least from some of our own intelligence reports that we've received in the past. To our direct north and east, aside from your presence, we have a borderline unstable neighbor and a monarchy that we had barely managed to at least establish at most a trade relationship with in order to reach Arvug's territory...which is putting it optimistically. The only definite allies that we have with a similar government of ours is Arvug here along with the Serdians...which have more or less barged into the issue here unexpectedly without even mine or our colleague's knowledge as of now for some reason." He takes a quick swig of water before continuing and saying, "Look, my point here at this point is that if you're going to complain about our foreign policy regarding supposedly "complacent" about our neighbors, remember that we're in a similar situation to you, although in our case, we've managed to stay neutral in most of the messes that have been going on in the rest of the galaxy at large." He sighs and then turns to his assistant counterpart who nods and continues saying, "Forgive my counterpart's abrasiveness. He's rather frustrated about the situation at hand as well, but we can't exactly let this set back our discussions here." She picks up her datapad and looks in, eyes widening as she saw the escalating situation, before typing some information out and continuing saying, "We're going to have to let the referendum happen somehow regardless of who wins, but we need to ensure that people are going to be able to vote safely and fairly without any fears of reprisal from any side. I'll partly leave that up to you and the Arvugian delegation to figure out here as well since we've stated our own preparations already, but feel free to offer any further suggestions if need be." She paused and then sighed as she said, "In regards to the Serdians, we're going to have to negotiate directly with the Serdians somehow, one way or another. Us and the Arvugians are sending a detachment at hand to at least try to communicate with the vessel right now."
Near the field, the 12th Federation Jungle Company moved alongside the Arvugian 6th Company detachment as they prepared to deploy and resume their peacekeeping duties through the mess. In the control tower nearby, the joint Federation and Arvugian traffic control crew wait anxiously for the Serdians to reply as the angry crowd seems to be fairly large and pressing at the gate right now.
Bailey replies to the transmission "Understood Captain Stryker, a Commonwealth and Federation detachment are currently on their way to get between you and the protestors to defuse the situation, we recommend that you have sailors and or some marines on hand to patrol the ship, stab resistant protection should be adequate for the time being. If you suspect the situation is going to evolve out of control, you'll have pre-authorization from Air Traffic Control to exit the dock."

Roger that, though it'll take some convincing to get any of those men to go outside... But I'll try." About 7 Serdian Marines exit the ship, FALs set to safety as they begin their patrol around the Gamby's perimeter. "Are we boned?" The first Marine asked. "Yeah I think we are..." The secone replied, the two keeping close to the warship so that they could flee back inside should the mob attempt to bum-rush them.
