[center][h1]The Imperial Confederation of An'Ketan[/h1][/center]

	A massive battleship, accompanied by several destroyers slowly floated towards the warpgate. A more peaceful nation might think that this was a raiding party or the vanguard of an invasion force, but for the more militaristic Imperial Confederation, this was a rather small sized diplomatic party. He hoped the people part of the Unity Accords would not think this was an actual invasion, or things might go real bad.

	The battleship he was on was a large machine of war, it had to be, the Kor'Koran were a society that were entirely based on warfare, if they had small or weak looking ships, it would look demeaning to them. So warlike were they that their language did not even have an equivalent for the word peace until the An'ketan met them.

	However, as he looked at the ships of the An'ketan, they were imposing but elegant looking ships. The An'ketan always demanded silent respect from all that they made, from statues and monuments to battleships and weapons, they always demanded the respect of onlookers if they did not want to be taught such respect first-hand.

	On the contrast, the ships of the Ler'kan were thought more of functionality that an imposing status. Sure, they were heavily armed, as most of the ships of the Imperial Confederation were, but to the Ler'kan, war was a thing to be avoided at all costs and as such their attack ships were outdated in term of weaponry, though it was cutting edge when it came to all other technologies.

	However, Ore'lek snapped out of his thoughts when he heard his name be called by a Kor'korani. While most Kor'korani were imposing figures, this one was nearly twice as large as him. The decorations on his the persons chest quickly informed this person of who he was. This was the famous Kor'korani general Ark'aran, who had replaced the nameless general as Head General after his shameful retreat during the war with the Golgotha.

	"Ambassador, all our ships are ready, we shall jump through the warpgate that will take us towards the designated place of meeting with the Unity Accords." the general said in cold, but rather respectful tone. The Kor'koran were the only ones who had voted against joining the Unity Accords when it formed for the first time. Soon, the thought of leaving the Unity Accords had spread to the An'ketan and the Ler'kan as well. This was a very hot debate topic for the greatest minds of the Imperial Confederation. "To be frank with you, ambassador, I do think these Unity Accords are a waste of our time and resources, what is the purpose of it?"

	Oro'lek could not help but smile both internally and externally. A lesser mind might have started bringing in so many reasons that he Unity Accords were advantageous for the Imperial Confederation, and to any other species, it might have worked, but the Kor'koran weren't known for their amazing debating skills, they were brief and frank people who simply wanted war, such reasons would simply fly past their thick, plated heads. "Well, Head General, I do believe you are familiar with our proud nation's motto, "Unity through strength!"." he spoke. "This is the same basis for our own Confederation, only a grander scale."

	The Head General did not look very impressed by this and Oro'lek sighed, seeing that his mission failed. "If you say so, ambassador, I am a warrior by blood, I am not good in diplomatic issues such as these." Oro'lek was impressed at the brief but curt response of the Head General, most Kor'koran would have scoffed and called Oro'lek a mindless idiot if they did not agree with him.

	He wanted to speak some more, but soon, the warp gate was ready and glowing brightly. It was time for him to get ready to discuss with the elites of other nations, a thought he found rather exciting. He wanted to see how the lower species thought of various issues as well... it was a mental treat for him.
