OOC: I wanted to escalate things a bit more subtly with a satellite crash, but hey, whatever suits you.
IC: ALARM: Unidentified ships have breached the border. Current courses: Fortress World Cardia. Executing Protocol: Interdiction ... Activating Subroutines 1 through 4
As the fleets plough through space, they are suddenly and violently ripped out of warp. They find themselves surrounded by massive satellites, who broadcast a message:
"Attention, you are violating Esomerian space. Please identify yourselves and transmit your documents, or turn back!"
"I am fleet admiral Nog. Your system is herby annexed by the UFP, STAND DOWN OR BE DESTROYED!" *The ships activate their weapon systems, shields, and ablative armor* *Fleets 11-20 phase cloak and set warp for the same system, but on a different trajectory* OOC: I've been waiting for this since 2375!
OOC: How does one activate ablative armour? And, does the cloaking system bend light and other types of waves to make itself completely invisible?
IC: ... Commencing Subroutines 13 through 20 Calling for Emergency Protocol no.1
The satellites move away, as if letting the invaders in. Then, almost instantly, a multitude streaks of light lash out from the vast depths of space, and strike at one of the ships, tearing town its shields and piercing through its armour. The white-hot projectiles are flung continuously, by a few hundred coilgun satellites from beyond visual range, and tear down many Federation ships. Meanwhile, at a safe distance, half a dozen battlegroups emerge from hyperspace portals to support the satellites.

"We have significant quantities of Tritainum, a strong and versatile alloy that can be used for anything from tools to armor plating, we were wondering if you have anything valuable that we could trade for?"
OOC: I've just started out, so I don't think I have anything valuable in my inventory.
