In low orbit above the planet came 5 Supreme Warships out of their quantum 'porting, massive ships that were bigger than the Seeders' own. Each ship released nearly a thousand Corvettes each, half of the 13-V-formation Corvette groups being fighters, 1/8th being electronic warfare, 2/8ths being bombers, and 1/8th being troop transports. 
A message, broadcasted from the leading Supreme ship was communicated to any system capable of receiving signal:
[i]Direct intervention is required to save this dying race. Lay your arms down, so we may keep the Equestrians from destroying themselves entirely. If cooperation is not given, we will forcefully take what we need to keep the race alive. We arrive to keep all races the possibility of returning once more. You will not be the first, nor the last. Allow the Supreme ships to take a dozen of each Equestrian-affiliated race so that they may not go extinct. We repeat: lay arms down, power weapons down, and we will not have to call for reinforcements, which are currently patrolling the neutral sector.[/i]

When the Collective designated part of the GC as a neutral territory, the Supremes were aggravated, but saw the wisdom. Half of the Supreme Navy patrolled the area, flights of Corvettes in 5- and 7-ship groups patrolling the space, with at least one electronic warfare ship to scan for any movement. Any ship that entered the area found themselves flanked by at least 2 5-ship Corvette formations, more as an escort than as a guard.
