Anaris tapped the dermaglass of the holo-map - watching as the so-called Black Fleet of the Great War-Master Andors was torn apart under the salvo of fire, of the Minotaur Armada. Mostly that salvo being unleashed by the Guard Fleet - their rail-guns firing round after round into the pathetic pirate fleet. Despite what was spoken and rumors about the Minotaurs - they weren't some pirate armad, that many xenophobic human or alien liked to tell their masses.

In truth, they were their own kind nation. A nomadic nation at that, moving from one end of the stars to the other - they were more, than some pirates stealing and enslaving others to survive. They only used force in the case of defence, and in those cases - trying to limit civilian casualties - instead of like some pirate or criminal lords, whom were eager to drown in the blood of their enemies.

Such had been the case, when they had decided to set up their people in the Forgotten Region - a region of space, that had been forgotten or star maps of the place destroyed or corrupted beyond repair, with the fall of the Imperium. Namely they had landed in the Shanxi Sector - where they encountered some guy called Andors - who entitled himself as some Great War-Master and his collection of ramshack vessels, the Imperium reborn. Anaris didn't even spare the time, to listen to his rant about enslaving xenos, sub-humans and other nonsense, of him going to rape her. Instead she cut the connection and one-quarter of the Guard Fleet jump-in and let them annihilate the so-called Black Fleet.

She had them limit their firing, namely targering the engines and weapon-systems - since she was 85% sure, that the human pirate lord kept some aliens in his personal ships. Either as cheap labor or as concubines. It wasn't even a fight at that, as soon as the BlackGuard stormed onboard - it was a simple massacre of the pirates left onboard and freeing both human and alien slaves. The only injury they received was when some rookie BlackGuard dripped and fell into an air-shaft at that. Otherwise, it was a simple - smash, eliminate and recover. Most of the pirate vessels were being stripped of their parts, since they were in worse shape than some of their oldest vessels - while the people recovered were being integrated by the Interior Fleet.

For now the Minotaur Armada would stay here, while she and the Simulacrum would head to Earth. Namely to visit said 'Conference of Peace' that was being organized by the nationals from Earth itself. While the people of the Armada, had zero love for the Imperium - they understood the necessity of having a somewhat human or sub-human present. Incase this Conference seemed to be legit, and not have the Earth-lings suddenly declare a xenocide against the aliens.

In the basis, Admiral Anaris was being sent to Earth - in the simplest terms to watch and observe the delegation. It wasn't something she would EVER like to do - but her duty to the Minotaur Armada took precedent. Even though she'd likely have difficulty resisting the urge to strangle some of their 'pure-blood' leaders there. Once it was confirmed, that the Pirates had been dealt with - she gave was given the clearance to take the Simulacrum to Earth.

She once more sat upon the 'Accursed Chair' as some like to call it. Feeling the familiar tingle and touch return, before forcing the ship into N-space and towards Earth.
