"Make sure to log the coordinates of this location. We will meet here once you've completed your task. Until then, try not to get yourselves killed." Diarg scoffed, "End Transmission" he said and waited for a moment until the transmitting light winked off. "Cowards!" he shouted "Their inaction consigns thousands or millions to death!" He huffed out a sigh and slumped back into his chair. He was angry because this empire could easy push the war effort in favor of the xenos, but the Gargan had to 'prove their worth' as if they hadnt for the past 300 years. It should be simple enough however. Uniting rebellion forces under one banner, and most of these races would be utterly reliant on the Gargan for naval power for years to come until they build or stole enough to wage a real war. How many other factions had a true Battle Group with capital ships. He nodded to navigation to log the location and to engineering to launch a small passive listening probe, just to collect transmissions and sensor data in the area. The Probe was small and only had minimal power use to store any and all data. He didnt care if the Probe was found, The Mekhar had earned little of his respect and been proven to be too timid to be trusted. "take us away Navigation" he said solemly, still thinking about slaughter of those unable hide behind Mekhar technology. The small cruiser made all haste for the Void raider rally point and linking up with the Void raiders within a few days, just outside the Mekhar border. The trip was uneventful and the rally point was a place in deep interstellar space, days from the nearest, and almost a week from the nearest habitable planet. "Hail the Grand Carrier" said the captain when they got within range of the battle group. "General! We have made contact with the Mekhar." The General sat in a large command chair, that looked more like a throne with displays and controls all around him. "Very good captain, will they help us?" Diarg sighed heavily "Yes and no general. They demand proof that we could be successful. Essentially they are asking us to unite the various rebellion factions... and then they might help us." he said, summarizing quickly. The General groaned "Bloody cowards.." he said while his gaze unfocused thinking deeply "Very well, We can not win this war alone. we have data that many small rebellions are sparking all over the sector. We can unite them into one grand alliance and burn the Human infestation from our galaxy.. Very good Diarg, thank you for your service. Join the main battle group and we will decide the next course of action" he says and closing the hail. "Navigation, where is the closest rebellion?" "Uh, we have a few options sir but i believe the Rarian region is closest, and with the shipment of arms we captured they will be slightly under strength for... a week or two. That said, we will have to make a stop to refuel at a gas giant, the process will take a while." "Ah, fuel... yes." mumbled the captain "well while we refuel we can scout the various near by rebellions and see which would be the best target for our intervention... assuming they join our Alliance." he says with full seriousness, Fully expecting to exploit Alliance membership for assistance with the war effort.
