"What? This is an outrage! A violation of the principles of free trade! How are we supposed to know your laws? We just got here!" the pilot protests, aghast. Despite that they make little resistance as they board the helicopters.
<Snipped quote by Aceofreality>
The pilot tries to protest, but the two guards convince him otherwise. The crew begrudgingly lets the guards escort them.

In Federation territory:
"Why, we have precious gems and rare metals, as well as technology beyond you can believe! Ok, if you don't want to come in, we'll bring our goods to you! But what do you have to offer in return?"

-------------

Meanwhile back in the colony, the shadow was expecting the latest report from the various delegations, when several figures walk into the room.

"Sister... What news do you have?" demanded the shadow.
A figure replied, with a somewhat distorted voice, <My Leader... the Psionics Division of the DEPT have reported that two of the trade ships have been apprehended by local forces.>
A second figure brought up a hologram of the planet in her hand and highlighted the factions. The shadow walked over to the hologram, dimly illuminating the shadow's face. "Simple," they answered. "We can just force them into submission. Send an elite team to extract the merchants and destroy the evidence. Then carpet bomb one of their military bases."
<My Leader...> yet another figure replied nervously. <they have taken the merchants hostage. We do not have the resources necessary to perform a rescue operation of this magnitude.>
The shadow pulled out a cigar that was hanging in his mouth. "Everyone other than one, leave now."
After most of the figures left, the shadow started yelling in extremely accented English, almost as if it was another language. Anyone else would have wondered why the shadow turned off their universal translator, but the figures knew exactly why.


The crew are handcuffed and put behind bars in one of the helicopters. As they depart into the sky they can see out of the window a flash and smoke coming from the treasure ship's hatch. Directional C4 was used to gain access to the bridge. The contents of the ship are carried out and loaded into the other helicopter.

The helicopter lands in what looks to be a prison center. They are thrown out of the helicopter hastily and it quickly flies away again. People with a very different outfit but nonetheless the same rifle on their shoulders grab the crew and push them towards a room where they're given orange prison clothes. The room has wonderful decor, barren concrete, with the only touch of style offered by the plaque to the right of another door reading "Courtroom".

The merchants do not move from their spot.

Inside, the soldiers find pretty much what they would expect from such a ship - goods to trade, including advanced technology, precious gems and rare metals, as well as several rooms that were clearly engine rooms, crew quarters, kitchens, laundry rooms, restrooms and a large mess hall. Unfortunately, the bridge and the pilot's quarters were locked. However they also found several large cannons of various types attached inside the ship, albeit unloaded and unpowered.

In Yahupi lands, the lead merchant apologizes profusely. "I'm so terribly sorry. We are new here and do not know the customs of your lands. But we have so much to offer..."

In the Federation, the merchant, visibly relieved, invites the various delegates into the ship's cargo hold. "Would you mind if I give a tour?" he asks, gesturing politely towards the ship to let the officer through.

The UFO finds ample space on the airship's runway, so it lands there. Once the UFO lands, a few men in spacesuits walk onto the flight deck to investigate.

"Hello? Anyone there?" the lead man calls out, using a radio on all frequencies, as the men surround the UFO.


The 4 men return outside. Another one is quite stern in saying,
"You are all under arrest under the Prohibited Weapons Act. Limited rights are affored to you. You will be detained until a military court hearing is arranged."

Two large helicopters can be seen approaching. The ufo crew are put on board them, and are headed for the capital Tro City.
<Snipped quote by Apple>

The diplomatic vessel was now headed to the Castle Weisswolf Port with nothing too auspicious, then proceed to disembark the Veilletes ambassador for a welcoming invitation to foreign affairs.


The Veilletes ambassador is greeted by a lady in a suit.
"Welcome to the Trogo Kingdom. I am Lady Anriette, Expansion Advisor for her majesty Queen Freja."
She gestures to this carriage, that appears to be an open topped futuristic golf-cart.
She is flanked by soldiers with ceremonial outfits, IFVs are at the end of the pier.

The port is bustling with activity. Flatbed platforms carrying supplies glide around the facility and on the piers. Soldiers in standard issue gear march around in formation, presumably with places to go, while officers and labour workers are walking around and doing tasks and such.
The place look well defended. There are many large radar-looking systems in place. Visible anti-air and missile silos can be seen from the surface. The port structures only consist of 2 storey buildings, however they are dwarfed by the elephant in the room, a massive aircraft carrier. Big words on the side read:
P52 TNS Jibril

Jet aircraft can be seen been loaded into the side of the massive vessel.
((To give scale, it has a deplacement of roughly 160,000 metric tonnes))

In all three cases, a ramp is lowered from the side of the ship. From inside, a number of merchants walk out, unarmed (hands behind their heads in App's case), and a little bit confused or mildly annoyed.

One of them, clearly the ship's pilot from the markings on his shirt shoulder, announces to them "We come to trade. We do not seek war. What is the meaning of this?"


"Your vessel will now be searched by us. Stand where you are. Leaving this helipad or entering the ship again will not be tolerated, you aliens."

The soldiers move in a single line aboard the ramp as they brush past the merchants. They inspect the insides and contents.
<Snipped quote by Apple>

A reply is sent back on the same frequency. "This is a merchant ship of Shupoli Industries, we come in peace and are here to trade. To show our goodwill, we will comply with your orders."

The airship, which looks like a cross between a helicarrier and a zeppelin, proceeds to allow the jet fighters to guide it to the designated landing spot.


The airship is guided to a heli pad. It seems to be next to some small outpost with a tall watchtower next to it.

4 soldiers who were probably radioed of this alien landing exit through the door in a hurry and point their rifles at the airship.

One of them with the more important looking shoulderpad shouts
"GET OUT WITH YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEADS."
While the main colony was being set up, the fully loaded and heavily armed treasure ships continued on their way towards various nations (every active player nation). A white flag was raised below the national flag to show that they come in peace and wish to trade, not to attack the nations (despite their arsenal).


"Foreign vessel. State you intentions and land immediately for an inspection under the Foreign Intervention Act. Acts of aggression will not be tolerated."

Two sleek black jet fighters are sent out and approach the treasure ship.

"What the heck is that?" Said by the personnel of the diplomatic vessel after looking at the Octocopter before flew off.

"Err, can I have a permission to dock? We don't have much time blindly around without a way to proceed forward." radio by a captain of a diplomatic vessel.


"Positive. Transmitting directions to Castle Weisswolf port."
The naval port is very close to the diplomatic vessel. Banging on the radar can reveal at least a dozen destroyer size warships moored along with two extremlely large structures. One is probably a castle.

The octocopter lands in a net on the destroyer and is brought below deck to download its data off it.

The destroyer deploys its main arnament, a rather unassuming cannon of sorts in front of the bridge, by the front. It's quite easy to spot from the diplomatic vessel due to the clear visibility.
The launch of Xplo8-1 was a success, aboard the Sirius 5 rocket.

This launch was broadcast on Trogo tv and it further solidified the proof that the RTSA (Royal Trogo Space Agency) is capable of launching spacefaring vehicles again.
The launch vehicle crashed down in the South Ocean, thanks to its high-gain parachutes. They await collection by the TNS.

Xplo8-1 is a satellite that is on paper to be used for mapping and surveillance. Classified plans show it will be also be a proof of concept, if the idea is proven good, Queen Freja will enact a plan for the future, eyes from the sky.

The Diplomatic Ship was slowly heading closer to the mainland of Trogo Kingdom, waiting for other things to happen.

<Snipped quote by jorcool>

The captain of the AA convoy proceeds to use that radio frequency and begin with a reasonable conversation.

"We are the Militarist Army of the adversaries for wishes to have a small negotiation on attaining a peaceful relations in between our coastal borders. We do not cause any harm nor rotten in a way of retaining neutrality of the nations." said the captain.

The destroyer escorts are keeping in a closed formation and protecting the unarmed transport ships from any sudden strikes from those unknown creatures.

<Snipped quote by Uncle Spanky>

The soldiers at one of many outposts were stand ready for an unknown UFO to arrive.


The octocopter lands on the deck of the diplomatic vessel. Its rotors power down and some sort of white smoke wafts off the top of it.
Parts of its exterior fold open, and a startling blue light emits from all 8 sides that blinds those too close. A high pitched screeching emits from it, quite loud and bothersome.

This assault on human senses lasts for 10 seconds, as the blue light fades in and out. The deafening screech stops and so does the lights. The hatches on its center column close and the copter engages the loud enough motors and hovers into the air.
Then, blue lasers trace a faint cube around the octocopter, and those 6 sides begin to become opaque, eventually its nearly impossible to see the octocopter as it flies back to the destroyer, covered in a sky-blue box light box.
