[h2]Gargan Diplotatic cruiser[/h2][sub]
Mekhar space[/sub]


	The cruiser makes a final jump from the borders of mekhar space, firing its jump drives at full power to push as deep into their territory as possible. The moment he drops from FTL he bigins broadcasting a long range message in hope that a Mekhar ship or station is listening.

The message repeates every few minutes, The cruiser sits with its weapons and drones powered down, although it has its FTL drive powered and ready to make an emergency jump if need be. The cruiser sits near a lonely star devoid of planets, although several ancient wrecks orbit the star frome battles long past. A small team of engineers and scientists are dispatched to one of the nearest wrecks to pick through the bones, but each of the wrecks where old Imperial designs, not worth salvaging and several designs out of date. 

The cruiser waited for several days, the captain began to ponder if they should make another jump deeper into Mekhar space but he grew concerned with their safety if they encroached too deeply into their territory. Before the desision was made sensors picked up several FTL signatures. The captain called for battle stations, and the crew prepared to battle but the guns where never powered up so as to appear non-threatening to the Mekhar. 

"Are the signatures Mekhar?" asked the captain
"I dont know sir. I believe so." said engineering
"what?"
"the FTL signature is coming from Mekhar territory, but i can not identify the signatures so they could be mekhar or Imperial designs we have not seen around the home world."
"that is not very informative... we will assume they are Mekhar and keep weapons offline, but spin up the FTL drive if we need to make a quick get away."

After only a few more moments of anticipation the ships Dropped from FTL.
