I still want to say no. Its still a mess of godmodding and no one should be allowed a ship that is big enough to consume and process dwarf planets.

It's only one ship, and I highly doubt anybody cares about dwarf planets. There would only be a problem if there were two of them.

There are only a hundred of them left, and the planet hit thing was implied to be surviving a crash. However, the complete immunity to cyber warfare has to go, it can be hard to hack them, but not impossible. The crippler lasers have to be toned down as well. With all that done, the other nations stand somewhat of a chance, but they are still powerful. Having a more powerful nation is often good, because it presents an actual challenge. If what I have mentioned is done, then accepted.

LIV Terminator
"Every ship comes standard with two recording devices, both heavily armored. The armor is designed in such a way that it would be near impossible to breach it without a weapons that can break molecular bonds or anhilliate particles themselves. As we demonstrated earlier, this vessel is equipped with antiproton streamers which are capable of the latter. We will help you."
As the sentence was finished, the shifting memory in Kuuyi's brain was disrupted, for a moment it was as if she had forgotten it. However, it soon came back, and though the Sylve banner could still be seen flashing into sight every once in a while, it was much less common. Along with that change came a fleet of starships flashing in and out of existence above the main fleet, with different symbols painted on their hulls. With her superior mental abilities, Kuuyi saw that the frequency of Lakfakalle and Sazkarjhit banners decreased on the main fleet and increased on the other fleet. She smiled at this new, altered vision.
"Let the hunt begin!"

Message to the Equestrian Empire
"The antiproton weapons... we've tried to reverse engineer them before. We lost twenty of our best scientists in the blast, they constantly create antiproton particles. There is no override code, and they appear to have an internal power source that simply does not run out of energy. Reverse engineering is futile, but they are leftovers of the great Aif Empire, perhaps there are others out there that we could fit onto interstellar vessels."

Negative Energy Factory
The LCF has begun using planetary defense ships to transport materials to the moon, and LCF construction crews are being sent up as well.

Lakfakalle
The Triarian disguises appear to be perfectly constructed, as nobody suspects anything. The group teleported to the Abh continent, a place other species frequently visit due to the relaxed laws on everything from speed limits to marriage. As a result, humans are a frequent sight. Aside from shady-looking merchants approaching them trying to sell them something called "Alkake", they haven't been interrupted.

I'Neani, Delphan Collective Capital Building, Lakfakalle
Streams of numbers and letters flew across the wall screens of the Capital Building, faster than any human could ever hope to read. Dozens of Delphans stood in front of each wall, reading the streams of info easily. Nobody was speaking, but they were communicating through the telepathy natural to their species. Every once in a while, an alien voice would force its way in, desperately asking to be saved from their own people. The Delphan Collective could do nothing for them, though, as most of the voices came from distant galaxies impossible to reach due to the great storms that tore apart any vessel that attempted such a journey. However, some of the voices came from planets within the broken Milky Way, and the underlying Collective consciousness put them on the list of locations to be visited.
192512225-S is waning, outcome desirable. Take no action.

Molecular change initiated. 451991812125-G still waning. 451991812125-A waxing. Outcome more desirable than intended outcome.
Echo from Sol... sender repaired. No intervention required.
The building was off-limits to all non-Delphans, they called it a sacred area, but it was nothing close to that. They had found long ago that there was no danger to sharing the truth about it, but the rest of Lakfakalle would make them a leading caste, which was something no Delphan wanted. It would compromise the equality and trust of the Federation species, and thus decrease its future effectiveness. However, their religious texts stated that someday it would be a desirable course of action, and thus they planned for the reveal, hoping that it would unite the universe. Many thought no such thing was possible, but still worked towards that goal, for even if you fail, at least you attempted to do good.

Stuff in space is impacted by tiny (and not so tiny) objects, but even over 50,000 years nothing would have really happened to it.

Sounds good to me!Next question! What is / are Domu? Searching the wiki only comes up with the 'Battle of Domu', so some guidance here would be appreciated.

Ancient Zonanese Empire species, canines. Aside from that, I don't know much.

LIV Terminator
"Good, so you're not a pampered leader like the rest of our own who has never actually seen combat. What you're about to see won't traumatize you at all."
Kuuyi felt bad for not telling the Fleetmaster about the test, but had she known the truth could be shrouded. Her eyes began to glow purple, and her piercing stare was set on the Fleetmaster. A sharp pain began to pulse on and off inside the Fleetmaster's head, then the memories came. Brutal battles, fought with equally brutal weapons, armies charging fanatically at each other with no mercy for those slaughtered. This was something you would never find in the official history texts. As time went on, the weapons in the hallucinations became more and more advanced, until an image of jet aircraft and propeller aircraft dogfighting above seas of ground soldiers and vehicles, all circled around a primitive rocket bearing an ancient symbol the memory identified as Försa Sekläria. Before the outcome of the battle could be seen, the scene suddenly switched. It showed a great fleet comprised of thousands of vessels laying waste to a planet below. They were marked with symbols, but they kept changing. One moment it was the flag of Lakfakalle, the next Sylve's banner. Sometimes there would be multiple symbols, sometimes only one. Symbols of nations that did not yet exist, symbols more ancient than the galaxy itself. Finally, the ships vanished and the memories receded.
"I am sorry I could not tell you, Fleetmaster. It would have compromised the test. You have passed, we apologize for the damages that were caused by our weapons. You may investigate the wreckage and use our shipyard facilities for repairs if you wish. You must tell none outside the Delphan Collective of what you have just seen, that knowledge that has just been given to you is something reserved only for Delphans and those they deem worthy. If you begin to have inexplicable déjà vu that is not shared with those surrounding you, return to this system as quickly as possible. Neglecting to do so will result in loss of mental stability."

Equestrian Offer
The Federation has sent a message back regarding the offer.
"We gratefully accept your mining offer, but listen to me about the moon conversion. You have no idea what you have just done for us, the power that would come from the conversion of an entire moon is unimaginable! The defense platforms around Lakfakalle? Those are relics of the ancient Aif Empire, we call their weapons 'antiproton streamers'. You can imagine what they do. We are capable of attaching them to our vessels, but the only problem so far has been our negative mass reserves. With a moon sized factory we could have entire fleets of warships using weapons technology unseen since fifty-thousand years ago! We expected a lot of things from alien species, but never that they would offer us the power to destroy them! Let it be known that if you actually go through with this offer, we shall never leave your side!"

LIV Terminator
The Fleetmaster was met by Kuuyi Oras and three guards. The guards were wearing standard issue body armor and helmets, when coupled with their gunpowder assault rifles gave the appearance of warriors found on primitive planets. Captain Oras, on the other hand, was carrying a pistol in its holster and seemed to instead prefer bladed weapons, as shown by the huge-apparently diamond-sword (if you could call it that) strapped to her back. It was obviously not created for its strength, as the Federation definitely had nanotubes (as shown by the sword existing). Its blade was far from the norm, with seemingly random spikes protruding from it for no purpose other than to intimidate and to cause massive pain. If Captain Oras planned to use it in any effective way, she would have to be insanely strong in order to pull the spikes out of the first person she hit. They escorted the Fleetmaster and their guards to a door just down the hall, then they stopped.
"No one but the Fleetmaster is permitted within this room, the test is sometimes interpereted as a direct attack on the one being tested. When our first sailing ships made contact with the humans, a war erupted over this very test. To some it can be quite painful, so if you want to back out we will not blame you. However, if you do back out, then your ships will not be allowed within our space and you will not be permitted to go near the wreckage. I would go through the entire pre-test checklist, but we continue on our orbit and keep getting closer to the wreckage, so we have to do this quickly. Do not worry for your own safety, the entire checklist is dedicated to our own safety due to the nature of the test."

Supreme Contact
"Acknowledged, we are opening a hole in the planetary shield and preparing a greeting party. Due to the content of your last message, this contact will need to be kept a secret from our populace. You see... it confirms religious myths, obviously, if anyone who has fanatical opinions gets word of this, then untold numbers of people could die."

The New Order(Post WW3 RP)

Agreed, it fits with the pace.

Lakfakalle
"This starship uses the technology of the ancient Aif Empire, their wisdom is unsurpassed in today's civilization! This starship could easily destroy your pathetic fleet if I commanded it to! However, I am willing to give you a chance to prove that you are not the pirate scum we suspect you are. As the commander of the fleet, you will personally come aboard my vessel, where we shall perform a test. This test requires the one being tested to have no knowledge of its details, lest they have sufficient intellect to form a defense. Any hostile actions taken onboard my vessel will be considered an act of war, and your fleet will be destroyed by both the Terminator and the planetary defenses."
When the new contact entered the system, the ship quickly identified it as a Triarian vessel. While the Starfire had made contact with them, little was known of their people.
"Captain Kuuyi Oras of the Lakfakalle Interstellar Vessel Terminator, operated by the Lakfakalle Cooperative Federation and subsequently by the Delphan Collective. We believe this to be a pirate fleet, they deny it, we have asked them to participate in a test to determine whether or not they speak the truth. Do not fire upon either of us until the test is complete, after that point you may choose sides, attack us both, or take peaceful action."

Supreme Contact
"This is Lakfakalle Foreign Relations Center, yes, an... incarnate negotiation would be preferable. You may appear with or without your robes depending on your own customs. Transmitting coordinates... Universal Supreme Collective... why does it feel like I've heard that name before?"

Construction Report
The LIV Terminator has been completed, and assigned an all-Delphan crew. Probably because it has been assigned as the flagship (and only vessel) in the 1st Lakfakalle Attack Fleet, and Delphans are known for their... abilities. It is likely that the entire fleet will eventually be made up of Delphan-crewed vessels. First, however, more negative mass production facilities must be built to keep up with such a large interstellar fleet. As such, ground has been broken on five new negative mass factories along with fifteen new warp rings.

Lakfaklle
Detecting the intrusion, the LIV Terminator gathered up two planetary defense ships and set a course for the alien fleet. As the got closer, they noticed design similarities with the pirate vessel that had attacked the freighter convoy. Even more suspicious was the fact that they were heading for the wreckage, perhaps when the pirate ship was truly and completely anhilliated they dispatched this fleet to go rescue any survivors and find out what happened. So the crew prepared a little show of force to drive them off, powering up the four antiproton streamers and setting them to track the alien fleet.

As the Terminator neared the alien fleet, they fired off a volley from the antiproton streamers towards what appeared to be four escort ships. The streams of antiprotons completely anhilliated their main sublight engines, leaving only gamma rays behind. After the volley, a message was sent to the flagship.
"This is Captain Kuuyi Oras of the Lakfakalle Interstellar Vessel Terminator. We know who you are, we know you speak our language. You're the same scum that murdered forty-five innocent civilians and indirectly killed countless colonists on Shuroh, knowing full well the implications of your actions! We do not tolerate piracy and mindless killing, because unlike you, we are a civilized society! I assume you;re here to check on your buddies, well guess what? They're all dead! Every last one of them, you won't find any bodies or wreckage, because we tore apart the very nuclei of the atoms that formed their ship and their bodies! You will surrender yourselves immediately, or else we will have no choice but destroy your fleet to protect the rest of the universe from you Sylve scum!"

As she finished speaking, the alien flagship suddenly shook violently. The bridge crew fell off of their seats and onto the floor, forced to look up at the viewscreen which continued to display video feed of the Terminator's bridge. Everyone on it was of the same species, and their eyes all glowed purple, fixed in a piercing and disturbing stare. It was obvious that the shaking had nothing to do with an anomaly or weapon, it had come from the ship's crew. The captain smiled, taking some sort of twisted pleasure in the idea of destroying the alien fleet.
