The Koldir commander, Kamica, has been assigned an escort a research ship on the other side of a wormhole, to study a from planet of the Ugrentians.
Meanwhile, the Ugrentian leaders had arrived on the frozen planet to hold a council meeting. During the meeting, however, they were ambushed by a stampede. Barely making it back to their ships, they managed to board one of the vessels, losing the others in the process. Pulling through the atmosphere, back into space, they discovered the Koldir ships, and as they neared, made first contact.
During this, however, a mysterious wormhole erupted into another system, spewing out the debris from a destroyed Mars. The causes of it’s destruction were never found.
This strange anomaly drove the Chozo to investigate. Being a cautious person, the Grand Admiral of the Chozo fleet sent a drone ahead to check the surroundings. Seeing it clear, he made an appearance in the flagship of the Chozo empire, the BSJ Shakuras.
With the Ugrentian and Koldir ship in the path of debris from a decimated Mars, the two races finally established proper communications after many attempts to translate the others’ language. But, during this event, a Holis ship entered, as did the Chozo drone. The Holis were wandering, looking for aid, while the Chozo were investigating the anomaly – the cause of the appearance of rubble – and first contact with three new species was made with the appearance of the flagship, making a first impression by sparing the other ships from vast pieces of debris.
With overwhelming first encounters, they all had first contacts. The Chozo had briefly met the Ugrentians, but had more of a future with the Holis and Koldir. After an “exciting” introduction with eachother, two Chozo Planet Crackers came to minimize the debrisfield for security reasons in future travels. As the other races celebrated new beginnings, the Chozo had their grand opening of their golden age- the revealing of the Solar Mining Station, enveloping the entire sun in one of the 12 Chozo systems, and ushering a Golden Age of fuel collection for the young empire.
Kamica of the Koldir received a new ship, with a new AI for better translating and controlling the ship, while the Laminari landed upon the Ugrentian planet.
After confusing relations between multiple races, the Holis’ energy core began to overheat, leading them to evacuate the Gromar as it was destroyed. The most infamous ship of Holis history had been destroyed.
With a routine operation of finding more nebulas for gas mining fleets to harvest, the flagship and five other vessels entered a recently discovered nebula, and began mapping operations, sending out beacons to map and transmit data to the flagship. Unfortunately, a dark shadow lurked within the dust of an ancient star. The mysterious loss of a drone, and soon many others. Something was out there, and future missions would reveal what it was.
Speaking with the council, they came to a decision. A new weapon would be designed to help combat the mysterious enemy, and hopefully made it possible for the nebula to be mined.
The Nur’Gulth battled with the Outrunners, and struggled on, while in Koldir space, the menacing Reverana of the Tephra Blade warped in, anticipating the arrival of Koldir ships, he had weapons materialized onto the hull. A battled insued in Koldir space, as the Tephra Blade was attacked after miscommunications. Calling for aid from other species, the Koldir attempted to force the Vultaran ship to flee. But the attempt was futile, as the ship moved towards the sun, leaving all but the Chozo flagship in it’s wake, struggling to keep up. With similar technology, the two ships clashed, only to have the Norse-like North’throdir aid Reverana, leading to the Chozo ship moving off to attack the fleet of cruisers, ultimately winning. Damaged, the flagship left the battle for the other 6 species, as the North’throdir limped away, and the Admiral watched. Finally, the battle over, Reverana had escaped, regrouping with other Vultaran ships for repairs.
His ship repaired, the Admiral began another expedition to the nebula, home of the lurking monstrosity of Luminari origin. With his new weapon in tow – a special debris-clearing device, capable of shooting asteroid like bullets with a precise Drone HUB connection, the assault began, bombarding the monstrosity with the rocks, as a small fleet of ships poured laserfire upon the biometal hull. As the battle commenced, it slowly came to an end, finishing with the brutal murder of a Black Sun cruiser. There were no survivors.
An accident on Shakuras left the Admiral hospitalized, still capable of doing his paperwork. An assassination plot failed, as it seemed there were still those who liked the old ways instead of these purer lifestyles.
Meanwhile, the North’throdir came to Black Sun borders, and quickly surrendered themselves without conflict… to a cruiser. A lone cruiser hauled in an entire fleet of North’throdir ships to a uninhabited planet. But unlike many other planets, inside were vast cities of Chozo technology, protected by the geological structure of the planet – A rare mineral acted as a layer in the planet, blocking all sensor readings, and ground penetration radar. It was perfect for a safe haven for the Chozo populace in dire times. With the entire fleet brought into underground hangers, they were permitted to stay in one of the cities until the Admiral could deal with them properly. But word never reached the Admiral as he returned from a third encounter with the Kraken, the monstrosity lurking in the nebula. But just as he would otherwise have gotten to deal with the North’throdir, a discovery by Chozo miners was made. A stasis pod containing one of the few remaining Wolven was brought back to a lab and carefully thawed. After ensuring his safety, the Wolven male was treated as a guest to ensure cooperation. Things went well, but soon, the Holis reborn, warped in above the safe haven where the North’throdir were. Demands were made for the turning in of the North’throdir. The Admiral remembered their race from their unprecedented attack on his ship in Koldir space, and readily agreed.
But the North’throdir revolted, and cast the Chozo officers on the planet to find an artifact that would “save the Holis from their corruption”, a cheesy plotline commenced, resulting in the use of a calming sound sent through comms channels from ship to ship, during a brief war between the Holis and Chozo. In this brief war, the Holis flooded Chozo systems with super weapons and advanced tactics, but were ultimately no match for the Chozo, who outsmarted them, using their technology against them, and at all odds, saved a system from obliteration.
Having had an attack on Shakuras by Nur’Gulth rebels looking to kill the few Wolven that had been thawed, the Chozo countered, and sought an alliance with the primary Nur’Gulth government, declaring the first official alliance with an alien species.
With the North’throdir and Holis let loose under threats to flee Black Sun space or suffer dire consequences, the Chozo set to rebuild and strengthen their defenses. The Holis had planted a structure on their first invaded system, now turned into a school. The Chozo remain untrusting of it’s purpose, thinking it will brainwash young minds, and perhaps be changed to allow the Holis and North’throdir access to their planet as yet a faster front to claim the planet under a more direct rule, and thus take over the Chozo. The Chozo, however were searching. Having finally found the Vultaran ship under the command of Reverana, the Chozo set out to ally them.
Reverana had just returned from a quick campaign of enslaving the Koldir; A goal easily acquired. Now, the Chozo hope their new alliance will help strengthen them both, and assure the Holis and North’throdir do not attack again. The Admiral did not have fond memories of either race, and anticipates an attack, soon to propose plans with the Vultarans in proper alliance negotiations.
In Koldir space, the protected system of the Slithereen is under assault by a new race. The Koldir, unable to make a stable wormhole connection, are in a losing battle. Their only hope now, as the North’throdir raid one of their mining planets at the same time, is for their new masters to step in and show the newcomers who has dominion in Koldir protected space.
