Illegal intrusion above Triarius
There was quite literally nothing left of the destroyed Triarian vessels, the self destruction of the Dark Energy cores was, as always, highly destructive as it consumed the ships and 'deleted' them as their fail safes were destroyed. Disabled Triarian vessels had been recovered, and aside from the odd scraps of hull, it almost seemed as though the destroyed ships had never even existed. Civilis Protectione cruisers and frigates prowled the debris, having been redirected from their standard system patrol routes to check the wreckages for Anti-Kyn or Malignants who might loot it, and the closer one went to Triarius, the larger the patrols got. Aerial Synths with space equipment zipped from wreckage to wreckage, examining them in detail. As far as the Collective was concerned this debris field was now their property and stealing from it was considered a level four offence. While much of the debris was clearly shifted using some form of gravity beams, some of the debris seemed to shift towards waiting transports as the Triarian ships regarded them with no apparent cause for the movement, as the Collective sorted debris of separate quality and material into different transports for recycling.
Expansion reports
For a time, it seems the Triarian vessels are going to continue to ignore the Quantyk gates, just as they did for much of the Great war, that is until two Triarian battle groups arrive at one and demand to be allowed entry. For a moment, it seems as though they are going to try and force their way through though they actually intended to disable and remove them for recycling. But then, almost as quickly as it started, the Triarian expansion slows, and many of the ships jump away from the Draconian worlds, leaving only a small skeleton of the previous expansion under way, something else apparently taking precedence
I'll post my app either later tonight or tomorrow
As Faust appears to be ignoring the Primicerii, they move on to the next subject, only to be interrupted as a message arrives from the Sazkarjhit. The Primicerii read it and quickly commune mentally, before a message is composed in response

To: Grand Vessel of the Sazkarjhit
From: Primicerii Marcus, Supreme Overlord of the Cradle Galaxy
Subject: Response to apology
Content:

Greeting,

Grand Vessel Saur'Kum, I identify as Supreme Overlord Marcus, Equitem leader for this galaxy and Primicerii member
Apology formally Accepted.
Sazkarjhit need not worry about damage to Collective vessels during recent Incident. Destruction negligible relative to full force. Vessel replacements shall be completed shortly
Collective acknowledges Sazkarjhit interpretation of Collective.
Collective does not claim police action at Triarius as wrong, but apologises for any excess damages. Attempted to resolve conflict with as little destruction as possible
May your mind be logical and sharp, and your knowledge base grow quick and large.

Message Composed by
Supreme Overlord Marcus

Expansjon situation

Triarian advancements into the abandonned Draconian territory spread like wild fire. Ships rarely stay in system for more than Ten to Fifteen minutes. Due to the speed, a habitat for the Triarian leading the Corruptelae Insectum onto the planet is deployed from space, imbedding its self into the ground at the crater it creates upon impact. The procedure for these ships as they continue is simply. Arrive, fire habitat, depoy dropship, leave. This allows the Collective to put a claim on large amounts of worlds with just a handful of ships and not having to use large amounts of population
Message to the Canadians
"Your plans have been deemed acceptable. The Queen initially blocked them, but a majority was gained in parliament. India shall be partitioned as you said, if you assist us in taking territories in the US, borders set as partitioned in previous negotiations.
Southern India shall be turned over, with the rest of India turned over upon the territories in the US being secured. We await your word, our forces are readied."

As per the orders of the Queen, the British request that the Indonesian Government allow them to construct an embassy. The British hope this will be the first step on a road to a possible peaceful annexation. A gift of £500,000 has been offered to the Indonesians
Basically, a quick over view of what I am thinking of and am writing up so far

Co-founded towards the end of the Clones Wars, it originally struggled to stay afloat as it couldn't enter the market (It started as a weapons manufacturer) After the Galactic Empire came to power, they received several assets like many loyalist businesses did, allowing them to stay afloat as a small business. After the Gentis Coup and the subsequent Chaos, all that changed. Suddenly weapons were in higher demand, and their profits sky rocketed as a result, allowing them to expand
It now owns several subsidiaries, offering it's services as a Droid (Mostly Battle droids) and Weapon manufacturer, Ship Manufacturer and 'Private Security Services'.
It's main sources of Income are the Droid, Weapons and Ship Manufacturing, essentially profiting off the Chaos plaguing the Galaxy, and with a vested interested in this Chaos continuing as such.
It's Private Security Services do offer legitimate Security, but really it's their force for filling a role that falls between Private Army and Mob Muscle, coercing rivals into selling out to the corporation. It is basically split into three sections. The section responsible for essentially acting like thugs and intimidating rivals, the legitimate private security section responsible for handling security contracts (Ironically the smallest section) and a more military like section containing droids that they have manufactured as well as sentient beings, which serve as a sort of private army
After many years of profiteering off the war, they grew large and rich, and as a result powerful
It used it's security forces to start a coup on Telos IV, pushing aside the meager resistance and installing a puppet government, and brought out large amounts of Bonadan, working with other members of the Corporate Sector Authority to essentially gain a monopoly on the world, with the majority of it now being owned by them and two other large Corporations.
The Draconians attacked it and managed to overcome EA defences, and for good measure destroyed it, I believe. They tried to do the same to Triarius during the war, but the Collective managed to beat them off. after much bloody fighting. I don't think Equiis was attacked, though
Almost as soon as the message was received, all ships ceased firing. Plasma projectiles that were moving towards the enemy fleet detonated prematurely, and energy projectors were quickly cut off. The Supreme Commander tapped a few commands and spoke again
"Copy" He said, and tapped a few commands, blinking a few times as he sent a message throughout the fleet
"Gather any survivors from destruction and gather any remaining inorganic and organic parts for recycling" He ordered, and the fleet set about gathering up the parts of the few destroyed ships from what could really be considered more of a small scale skirmish than a proper battle. None the less, the Collective policy was to ensure that nothing was wasted, and they did it well enough. Within just an Earth hour, the debris was gone, taken in by the Collective to be recycled, and survivors returned to other ships. Should any Sazkarjhit survivors be found from damage, the Civilis Protectione had orders to transport them away from Collective space and to Sazkarjhit space. It didn't look as though there had been a battle at all by the end of the Triarian Clean up operation
Might make an app, might not, but would it be possible for a force to be sort of both? Like an organisation that grew so powerful it brought out a planet, either completely or rendering the government pretty much a puppet?
The radioactive dust was of little to no concern. In space, there were naturally pockets of radiation so ships had long since been shielded against it, whereas the dust would be burnt up and the radiation be circumvented by the atmosphere should it enter. When the Arcs hit, the fireballs consumed the ships they hit... only to die down to reveal that most were unscathed as their shields shimmered around them, save for several Evocatus ships being destroyed or heavily damaged to the point of being disabled. Regardless, several Evocatus class ships were hit and destroyed. Several Hastati or Velites Class, generally Civilis Protectione rather than Equitem, fell as enemy magnetic rounds hit them, before a Carrier moved in front and allowed it's shields to take the remainder of the shells for the smaller ships. The enemy appeared to be behind militarily, but they were tenacious fighters indeed.
There was a pause as all but one of the crew of a single Hastati hastily abandoned ship and then it jumped into slipspace, before dropping out right before the single Manumar-Class ship and colliding with it, causing the explosives on the Manumar to detonate, destroying them both as the Hastati's Dark Energy core self destructed
The Supreme overlord sighed and transmitted an order to the fleet "Disable their ships and force them to retreat" he ordered, and then several sections of the Triarian fleet disappeared, though the bulk remained flying around outside, spreading out further. The ships that disappeared reappeared nano-seconds later beyond the enemy shield ships and surrounding the enemy fleet on all sides except behind to give them one area to escape. They fired their weapons, not to destroy but to disable the enemy vessels. Several of the larger ships fired energy projectors, however, at the shield ships in order to take down the enemies defence, and the carriers launched their drones, and prepared boarding parties if need be. After firing, the larger ships flew across, firing broadsides at the enemy ships as the smaller ones launched into their graceful and speedy glide, flying around the enemy ships and attempting to disable the enemy ships. They moved in seemingly erratic patterns, and yet did not collide with one another, dodging enemy fire as they went. The display of lights and plasma as the ships glided around their Sazkarjhit counter parts might have been beautiful if it wasn't a battle rather than a display.
Then there were more contacts as another fleet of Triarian vessels appeared on the corner of the system, and while the Sazkarjhit were heavily outnumbered before, they were now hopelessly outnumbered, The Supreme Commander was impressed with the Sazkarjhit tenacity and their brave, if illogical, stand however, so he sent a message to the Sazkarjhit fleet
"Your courage is noted, but you cannot hope to win this fight, Xenos. Surrender now and you will be escourted out of Collective space by a minor contingent of Civilis Protectione vessels with no further hostilities. Possible diplomatic relations may ensue at the discretion of both parties. Be warned, however, if you should leave any more unauthorized espionage ships, they will not be met with a warning shot like before but shall be prosecuted or amputated."

Updated Ship

The Old Ship issued to Spectre has been deemed outdated and no longer up to par. In it's place, the Indespectus Class Prowler has been produced. It is a unique class of ship that incorporates cloaking technology by utilizing several different means, including active camouflage that bends light around the ship in order to render it invisible to the eye and Stealth Ablative Coating which is black in color and serves to refract most basic sensors, making the ship invisible to radar and other minor sensors, similar to the way Active camouflage cloaks something from eyesight. The coating must be maintained perfectly or it will return radar signals. This necessitates constant maintenance on the entire coating, which is to be done after every mission the ship goes on. This only works on minor and some moderate level sensors, making it good mostly for avoiding the eyes of pirates or sneaking through low security sectors and past small patrols, as higher security sectors and enemy warships are likely to use more advanced sensors. It has Counter-electronic systems as well. Weaponry wise, it carries weaponry on par with a Velites class Corvette, save for a miniature version of the Energy Projector that would not be able to generate enough power to glass a planet or even destroy enemy mainline ships but is powerful enough to cut through most Corvettes and Frigates, but it's not meant to be a mainline fighting vessel. It is to be used mostly be Spectre and Ghost during their operations in order to travel unseen around space. As one can imagine, this ship is considered classified on a high level by the Collective
Hach diplomacy

"Your level has been exceeded, young one, therefore my statement is accurate and correct. And you rely on religion, Religion is but the first step on the logical path, the races of this universe do not move on from it, for reasons shrouded to us. Our knowledge is a secret we do not impart, for it usually has disastrous results, especially in the hands of religious ones. Learn what you will from Human nd Equestrian schools, if they wish to run the risks they may do so. We learn from our mistakes and adapt. We do not share our technology to avoid harming those we give it to, we destroyed the concept of money and wealth for it was incompatible with the greater good, and our children are the pillars upon which whole worlds have been built." The Outsider said, glancing to one of the Elite Synth Soldiers who gave him a small device. The Outsider activated it and a hologram came out from it, filling the area around it "Behold, a reconstruction of the events the last time we gave technology to a less advanced species" He says, as the hologram plays a reproduction. A Triarian Space ship lands on a planet, and the indigenous sentients come to regard it. Their tech is somewhat medieval and they lack any advanced technology. "The primitives were faced with a plague that was killing them off. Feeling for them, the Triarii aboard helped them" The hologram shows the two Triarii from the small craft healing the people of the planet "They gave them technology, the good and the bad..m one day there was an accident" The image shows one of the Primitives set off a plasma weapon by accident and kill one of the Triarii "The second fled the scene out of fear as the primitives panicked. When it settled they erupted into war, and by the end had forgotten where they had gotten the weapons. The technology was treated like a gift from the gods." The hologram continued to play as the primitives built a shrine to their gods weapons, and sacrificed their own among an altar "They did horrible acts and terrible rituals to 'power the gods tools with souls'" The hologram shows the stars far above, and a small Triarian battle group flies into the system "In these old times travel was slow, and it took forever before, a group of ships came upon the system and found the disgusting deeds." The hologram shows a curb stomp battle between Triarian Forces and the primitives"They seized the technology and rescued the stranded Triarii. After this event, a law was passed forbidding the sharing of any technology without Primicerii consent. It remains to this day to avoid any such incident"
