There was a small shimmer on the edge of the system as a Collective fleet dropped in, gliding across the blackness of space towards the occupied planet. There was a low whining noise at first from the communications, followed by the sudden interjection of a echoing, electronic voice. Another vocoder that was so prevalent within the Collective for little reason other than to mask the identity of the speaker... even when that was completely unnecessary as it was now, and they were about to introduce themselves. The idea of a faceless force was often useful for ensuring the idea that the Collective was an omnipotent force that could crush any resistance without a second thought, consigning those so inclined to the abyss of history.
"This is the voice of Fleet Master Tiberius Corvus, shipmaster of the [i]Tyrannis[/i]. We represent the Collective of Civilised Species and we have been in contact with the powers that be within your nations command and were directed here to collect plans for further conquest and meet up with the forces of one Princess Aurora vi Italia. Respond."
On the bridge of the [i]Tyrannis[/i], the Fleet Master stood with his hands clasped behind his back, staring at the screens before him as data flowed through his mind, courtesy of his bridge officers and Overwatch. He sighed heavily as he awaited his response, quickly running some diagnostic checks of the ship. When away on such business he found it useful to keep his mind heavily occupied, lest it stray back home.

Again there was a distinct shimmer on the edge of the system as several battlegroups jumped into the system, the sun reflecting off them and giving their otherwise dull metal design a glow of life and light. They advanced slowly, transmitting a message to the Roman leadership
"This is the voice of Fleet Master Gaius Cornicen, ship master of the [i]Dux[/i]. This one represents the Collective of Civilised Species and has been in contact witht he powers that be for the Roman Empire. Requesting immediate confirmation and further advised directives."
