To Emperor Kaltan of the Creeping Doom # 6044

 

We have encountered a system beacon from your Empire.

.....crickets.....

[hobknob]

Oh my, this looks the start of hostilities.

[General Miles Avatar]

That depends on the message broadcast from the beacon. It could have been a very friendly message.

<< System Beacon >> CDM Creeping Doom # 6044 [black Flag With A Large Red Eye With A Yellow Vertical Pupil In Center]
claims the XXXXXX star system in the name of Emperor Kaltan

[Lord Deependra]

To the leader of the Skeksis #9981

 

We have encountered one of your ships in a system claimed by the Death Machines. Would you be interested in an alliance against these scourges of the galaxy?

 

 

Emperor Vasdor of the Klade #5544

[Lord Deependra]

And now :-

ORK Orks # 5036 'Bladed Ork Skull Crusted In The Blood Of Enemies'

 

I wonder if they will be friendly?

[The Fremen]

Orks huh? Depends if they are the honorable kind of Ork or not.

I was wondering Lord Deependra with the experience you are having with many DMX and other players how many jumps away are you predicting they are from your home world. I only heard rumors in Andromeda that they would be about 5 jumps. What do you think?

[Lord Deependra]

The closest I have run into Death Machines is 2 jumps out from my HW, but that was through a high one-way warp I have only just cracked. I have encountered others at 3 jumps. I have encountered other players' fleets at about 6 jumps. With encountering other players, a lot depends on how much effort they are putting into exploration. So I am thinking HWs are set further apart than they were at the start of Andromeda.

[The Fremen]

Due to the sudden and unprovoked attack on Fremen forces by The DragonianX forces a state of War has existed between The Fremen and DragonianX. May the Creator have mercy on your souls as we won't

One of my empires ran into DM in a system next to the home system. It looked as though they had arrived only one or two turns before the encounter but the Pathfinder did not last long enough to investigate! I now have a warship guarding the WP in the home system and fingers, toes and claws firmly crossed while developing more effective weaponry. Don't know whether technology development is faster than the DM but I'm hoping.

Was the DMX force the usual gaggle of three Light Cruisers and one minelayer? What DMX force number have you found???

It was a minelayer on its own which destroyed the Pathfinder. The system scan report I got just before the battle indicated two small DM fleets one of which was just the minelayer. At the time I was shocked that the DMs were there and did not make as detailed a record as I should have. Apologies, I did not record the DMX force number.

[The Fremen]

The Fremen report that the offending DragonianX ship that attacked us unprovoked has been destroyed. Another hapless colony ship has also been spotted in another of our systems and will meet the same fate very soon.
