The Romans would easily notice an increase in energy surrounding their ship as there was a mass scanning from the planet and it's orbital stations. A handful of Civilis Protectione ships came into view from the nearby nexus station, gliding through space towards the battle group and circling like vultures around a man stranded in the desert, or like flies drawn to a week old corpse, eager for their lot. What Equitem ships there were in system held their distance, apparently content to allow the civil authority to handle this particular intrusion for the moment, though their movements did not allow one to wrought their intent; They were prepared to engage the Romans at a moments notice, as was apparent from their positioning
"Operam placet; Quos eructavit speciebus usuris, confirmetis intenta" The cold feminine voice declared over a message. There was a clear atmosphere of suspicion and perhaps a hint of paranoia from the alien vessels... And that is what they could most easily be described as, their sleek forms apparently had no engines or system of propulsion, no visible weaponry and no clear indication of it's design at all. They were almost all simply cold metal, save for two symbols branded on them; A collective symbol on the port side of the vessel, and the marking of Civilis Protectione on the other.
