By the time the the major finished speaking Valag already had a tentative plan in mind. He watched the introduction of the Lorca hierarchs with great interest, it was all horribly foreign to him. Valag couldn’t understand living in such a restricted society, Aradite society was very similar but far more open. Junior officers constantly questioned their superiors and it was up to the senior officer to defend their experience. This made sure that the rank was earned and constantly upheld, you won’t see any Aradite not truly deserving of their rank. The result of this culture was mainly positive, soldiers became more candid with their command structure and crews were able to better mesh with each other. Every company had a different personality, combat style, strengths and weaknesses and every battalion has a different personality and specialty. The discipline remained however, due to the loyalty of soldiers to their command structure and their fellow soldiers. Training is tough, sometimes even tough then the conflicts themselves and every soldier has the utmost confidence in their leadership. 

	“ Hierarchs” Valag said with the bow of his head “ I have seen Terran naval might and I have seen the power of the Lorca navy but I also see great potential in your infantry. Our weakness is in orbit but our strength lies on the ground, If the Terran navy can be the main force in space then I can pledge that the Septonian Concordant will take the fight to the Eternal Union on the ground. I do wish and cannot speak for the Lorca military, I do not know your capabilities or your willingness to engage in a war that isn’t yours. Any assistance you can muster will be matched in kind by Septonian forces, I want to crush this foe and I want to do it on our terms.” Valag manipulated the main star chart in the center of the room, zooming on the same system as Jaques rest ( New Condria) “ This is where we start, we will planet hop to the rear of the Terran home system and then attack the main Eternal Union naval force from the rear. From there we can consolidate our resources and forces and make the push inter Eternal Union territory.” Valag looked at the collection of people at the table and the holographic images of the Hierarchs “ Any questions?” he said gracefully swiping a glass of wine off the table before drinking it.

Lt. Cmdr Nikal 

Nkial nodded and listened to where his crew was, it was clear that he wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The anger he felt made his blood boil but no one would guess that by looking at him, he wanted revenge. His ship was destroyed and his crew was either injured or dead with maybe a quarter still fit for immediate service. 

	“ So you have a pirate problem” he said calmly “ A fairly serious one based on the strength of that vessel and your response.” The lack of sleep made Nikal extremely direct and blunt, he cared little for formalities right now. Lt.Cmdr NIkal was alway a direct man but he would give no attempt to try and curb that now. “ I need to communicate with my command, and if you could I would like to speak to a military leader”. Nickel blinked, his eyes staying shut for a couple seconds longer than he expected before looking back towards Ufrid.  “ Is there a place I could sleep….” he said in a softer tone, the fatigue was starting to get the better of him
