[b]New Condia[/b]
The Iscandarian fleet had already moved into position, there shields having managed to hold against the beams the S'Luk forces had fired onto them. The fleet formed a barrier of sorts that included the defense stations of New Condia. The shields all melted into one, forming a solid wall between the S'Luk forces and New Condia. The first wave against them was a series of magical lasers and balefire missiles, followed by a massive spam of anti-matter missiles and a few balefire megaspells. There was no actual response, but the way they acted was clear. They would not let them take New Condia.

The Iscandarians beamed a message in binary, and when translated from binary it read the following.

"Greetings, we are the Eternal Union. However at the current time we cannot conduct a official meeting as this planet is under attack. If you could provide assistance we would reward you greatly with various raw materials. As for what is attacking us, from what we have seen of them in the past what they seek to do is obvious. They wish to consume all sentient life."

Upon receiving the message the Iscandarians aboard the scout ship were suspicious. The content of the message seemed to suggest that it had been intended for everyone in the area, but scans showed it had been specifically beamed at the Iscandarian ship. Furthermore scans of the ship revealed there to be nothing wrong with it, atleast with what the Iscandarians scans showed.

"The Septonians as you called yourselves invaded our world and ignored all attempts at diplomacy. You are obviously aggressive and violent, a threat to galactic peace. Why should we assist you?"
