I'd buy the taking the backseat, if not for the 50000 year war raging on their doorstep over whether they would get exterminated by an alien race from another universe. Surely they did something? XD

Also, what was the benefit of the economy being opened to other nations if most of those nations were obliterated or taken over after going through turmoil? The only potential partners (By that I mean the ones which survived the Universal War and were known by the Sazkarjhit prior to the end of the old thread) would be Hachers faction, who went through massive political change and likely socio and economic as a result due to a takeover, and my own who don't even have a concept of money.

It seems this is the same faction, so what happened with the Reapers? How did they avoid being seen (I assume that's what you mean by their fleet sizes swelling, which would be pretty hard if you are having to fight a massive empire from another universe)

"Collective: Darkwolf. Research guys, survived Reaper war/technically won it but lost a bunch of people in the process." Add to this authoritarian, big brother, brutal, producers of war machines from living beings, eugenics and group-before-individual mindset and then you've got the right idea. Cause you know, grimdark

Dwarves: basically what hacher said

Equestrians: Basically what Hacher said. They are basically MLP in space, makes about as much sense as you might expect xD

Humans: Technically not humans and more along the lines of terrans. They're sort of the inbetweeners. While the Equestrians are basically utopia because it lacks problems and the Collective is dystopia to solve its problems, the Terrans are neither extreme and are essentially a socialist Western country

Sazkarjhit: Think Elites from Halo and you'd be on the right lines. Tough, skilled and honourable warriors with a dedication to their gods. They're important because of their soldiers skill and tenacity. They arent the most advanced or the largest, but their soldiers are top dogs for individual skill.

Castullt: What Hacher said. The original Hach were pretty decent though, there was more focus on their culture than massive fleets, it seems

Supremes: They're the last of a dying race. They generally help the people of the galaxy when its needed, but they can turn nasty if they need too and individually they are extremely powerful, so its not a good idea to try and turn them against you

From the others I have yet to see a post, so I wont say anything xD

"Meeting pending. This one detects no issues to discuss, may the Steelclaw state a reason for the meeting, on which attendance can be decided." Overseer said as his head began to glow. The patrol group, save for the Umbrae Intentus, moved towards the ancient craft, and began to tether it with someform of tractor beam. A few moments later, there was a 'cut' in space and the patrol group, along with the ancient craft, all vanished from sight, the cut sealing its self behind them, as the black of space consumed the strange hole. The Overseer nodded to a bridge officer and turned his head back to the view screen, awaiting a response. He tapped a few commands and ensured the engines were ready to transfer to the secondary universe

My god someone checked :D

Meh, I can always make stupid ones or super hyper intelligent ones if I need too... But I have my other species for that xD

Contact

The Overseer's face hardened, and he held out his hand and closed it around the flame, dousing it.
"There are rules regarding ship breaches." The Overseer stated, his eyes began to glow a dull orange. A whisper, growing louder until it became a yell, inside Steelclaws head, along with an uncomfortable feeling as if someone had invaded his personal space... followed by a disorientating tearing of thoughts, as though an internet connection had low bandwidth and the image was lagging, so were his thoughts. Disjointed and lagging. A mindfray. You would do well to follow them! . Almost as soon as it began, it halted, and his eyes returned to normal. "Does the Steelclaw understand?" The Overseer's gave remained hard and unforgiving, and it was clear he had perceived the use of magic inside his ship as either a breach of protocol or an attack from the way he spoke

The average IQ of a Triarian is nearly 900, though I doubt anybody ever bothered to check cause they're all lazy lol

"Not all the species within the Empire lack the ability to grasp things." said Steelclaws, lifting one of his claws up, and pointing it at the Triarians. Steelclaws spoke up once again "For those without this however, we have special devices that fit over there legs that allow them to lift thing, or if there a unicorn they can use magic to levitate objects. As for what we call ourselves we are the Equestrians."

"We are the Collective, for we are many" The Overseer stated, so that the Equestrian would know his name. He paused before speaking "Then there are forms that are ill adapted for construction. This generally halt's evolution into sentience. I pity several of your Empirss races due to their evolutionary cycle. Of course, I am certain there is a logical environmental reason, but it does seem odd prima facie. And I pity your mind for thinking magic exists" There was a small smirk from one of the two ape like warriors in the background

Well damn, seems I just got outdone in "longest lived sentient non-Supreme species" Well, at least I still hold "Most intelligent species" if we don't count the Supremes xD

There was a dull glow in the ring inside the Overseers eyes, and then it faded off. A moment later, he began to speak in English, almost as though he had known the language his whole life. Granted, there were minor pronunciation mistakes, but it was almost as though he had an unnatural grasp of the alien language
"I think you mean bipods. And you lack grasping ability, how did you construct your technology?" He inquired as he tapped a few commands on his holoterminal, bringing up an AI next to him. The hologram was the simple image of a female Triarian, and she smiled at the Overseer before talking to him
"Est aliquid?" Her voice was smooth and ethereal and contained a pleased tone. Clearly she was happy to be of use again.
"Mensa hac specie Archivi. Invenimus Equestrians." The Overseer said to it, and the hologram nodded quickly
"Tuo arbitratu" She said before vanishing. and the Overseer turned his head back towards the view screen
"What do you call yourselves?"

The Collective fleet merely transmitted an all clear message to the new contact that had been endangered now it seemed the situation had been resolved. The Overseer activated the video link to the other ships and paused for a moment before laughing aloud upon seeing the horse like creature.
"A mauris ludus, xenos. Et nunc ostendam vobis ipsos" He said, as he awaited what he assumed to be a joke to be removed from the screen and replaced with a sentient

Space

The Collective ships paused and then attempted to open a video link with the new contact, as the flanking ship moved further to the side and the corvette slowly drew closer to the other ships
