Yeah what I was expecting was a 500 strong force of scouts. Anyway, I'm looking forward to our upcoming encounter
@Luna_Maria
LOL, this is an awkward international event... I meant to refer to a scout force you would probably send to mine. BTW Olix is one jump away from Valia (Home System)
Sorry for the late response.

Sorry for the late response.
Meanwhile, in the Morris System (2 System jumps from Valia, ~ 2 LY away)
On board the IES Delphia of the IEEESF - Exploration Division
The Delphia was a massive ship of an experimental design - A Discovery Class Frigate. There were only 5 in existence and they were all under the IEEESF's command. They were specially designed to scan entire systems several jumps away. Their main weakness was; however, that they were large, bulky, slow and badly defended. Compared to other ships of the Frigate type, they were massive yet they were extremely useful to the Empire and its goals. At its helm was Captain Louis Gallyron, a relatively new captain. He had served onboard a VIF Capital Ship for 6 months only recently and had been promoted for handling a sensitive situation quite well. He looked out at the blue planet before him, one of 3 possibly hospitable worlds of the massive Morris system. His holopad suddenly vibrated as its screen began to glow.
"Accept stream" He said as he brought the device to a receptacle nearby.
A garbled voice began to come out of the holopad but slowly began to unscramble itself.
"Hello, hello, is this working?" A low, troubled voice said. It was the IEEESF Head Commander.
"Yes, hearing you loud and clear commander"
"Good, transfer the transmission to a monitor set."
"On it" The captain responded as he pressed his finger onto one of the nearby unactive monitors. The screen lit up and the commander's face could be seen.
"Now, Captain Louis, news has come in that one of our divisions in the Olix System has apparently encountered an enemy force. They were able to soundly defeat them but with heavy losses."
"What attacked?"
"I'll be giving you a copy of the report, but listen. I'll be reassigning 50 Frigates under your command, thte rest will be sent with the Division Commander to Axior System two jumps from here to patrol."
"What will I be doing?"
"You captain will continue your exploration. We need as much info as we can get to prepare for this war."
"Understood, sir"
"Good, I'll be off then."
The screen went blank as Captain Louis sat down in his chair, thinking of their next course of action. He had the ship communications system brought up. It was normally a blue interface with tabs to the right for each division and inside those would be tabs for each ship and the logs for communications with each. He brought up communications with the newly assigned group of 50 frigates. He opened up a line between him and the group's utility ship.
"Special Task Group 1 - Utility Ship 1 this is your Group commander speaking."
"Reading you loud and clear" A voice from the other side said.
"Is your inter-system communications system up?"
"Inactive, sir"
"Activate it, I want a clear broadcast line to get communications to Valia"
He then closed the line and opened a new one with all ships in the group.
"All ships of STG-1, this is your temporary commander, Captain Louis of the Delphia. We will be continuing our system analysis while our other comrades are off at Olix. I want all our utilitiy ships other than 1 spreading out so we can bounce the scanning."
"Affirmative" They responded in unison. However, suddenly, the utility ship from earlier attempted to request a communications line. He opened it and suddenly, an anxious voice came from the other end.
"Commander, it seems an unknown ship with a strange communications system has appeared."
He nearly fell off his seat upon hearing that.
"Should we open communications?" The voice on the other end asked.
"Broadcast an inquiry of intent" He said.
"Sir, our version of international law may not apply to them. And besides, no IoIs have been broadcasted in years!" The man panicked.
"You have a broadcast protocols and etiquette handbook don't you? It's on Section 10 Subsection 5" He tried to sound as calm as possible but still had a hint of anxiety in his voice nevertheless.
"Ye-ye-yes sir, broadcasting inquiry of intent" There was silence on the line for a long while.
"Inquiry broadcasted, no response received. Unknown entity identified as being under something known as the JSBF"
Because I got the idea from @OfWindAndRain (Nice concepts by the way, I like them)

"Your majesty, there seems to be an unidentifiable presence on the fringes of the Empire" Peltas said with a calm expression.
Azrian's eyes widened as he held his chin
"What do you mean?"
Peltas raised his glove-covered right hand its pal facing upwards. Around them, the room closed down, the windows closed and blue lines glowed on the roof. From the floor, a trapdor opened and from it a glowing blue orb emerged.
"Peltas Movley, Prime Minister" He said, his glove also glowing blue.
"Azrian Victorinne the First, Emperor" Azrian said as he looked on in pride at the Empire's greatest supercomputer - the Valiant.
"My Lord, I'll be opening a real-time stream with the Captain of the sighting ship" He said as he touched the blue orb. Before them, a hologram of a short, red-haired young man appeared. He was already on the floor kneeling and in a trembling voice said:
"Your Excellency and Your Majesty, I am honored to be communicating with you"
"The pleasure is ours" They said in unison.
"My Lords, the ship sighted seems to be some sort of bioform but is currently showing no signs of activity. It seems to simply be floating in space" He said as he stood up and brought up an image of the sighted object.
"Yes, but could you please elaborate more on this ship and the location?" The Prime Minister said.
"Oh, I apologize but I believe I'd already informed my Division Admiral of all the required details"
"We understand but I'd prefer a direct report from a direct observer" Peltas responded as he rubbed a finger against his forehead.
"Of course," The terrified captain squeaked " err, the ship is currently in the outskirts of the Olix System. This ship I'm commanding is the VIF Furst - A frigate of the IEEESF"
"Yes, thank you, now-" Suddenly, another man appeared in the hologram, a man in a military uniform and whispered in the captain's ear. The captain's eyes widened and his mouth was hanging slightly open, then his expression changed to one of horror. He ran out yet the messenger stayed but failed to notice his presence on the hologram.
The 2 watching the scene could only look on in fear. The Prime Minister was froze in place whilst the Emperor could only mutter
"What...what...what"
They looked at each other and Peltas nodded. He moved his hand and with a movement similar to pushing a button, the screen changed. Now, they were looking at the outside of a nearby ship, from there they could see not one not two but several, possibly 50 of the bioforms. They were advancing and showed no signs of slowing down.
The Emperor rose from his throne and said
"Give the order to broadcast an ultimatum to these bioforms! If they don't stop, we will use military force"
"Yes my liege!" The Prime Minister said. "Shall I call for a general assembly of the government?" He asked.
"Yes, do it and have the Minister of Military Affairs be ready to ready and mobilize every single weapon and soldier in the Empire. If all comes to the worst, we will be at war by the end of the day."
Later that day, in the Assembly Hall...
The hall was filled with silence, the air was tense and everyone in the hall - every minister, legislator and several commanders were simply staring at the Emperor standing behind the podium and the Prime Minister sitting on a lower platform in front of it.
"Gentlemen, we are officially at war" The Prime Minister said. Whispers could be heard all over the room. He raised his hand in the air, signalling for them to stop.
"I'd like to call the Imperial Expansion, Exploration and Exploitation Special Forces Head Commander to explain" A tall and stocky man in a military uniform walked to the stage. He was pale and visibly trembling as he moved to the stage.
"Th-thank you, yout Excellency" He said.
"As you probably know, an unknown enemy recently appeared in the Olix System earlier today at 7:14:46 Capital Standard Time. They were originally somewhat benign and seemed not to pose a threat. Suddenly; however, more appeared and they began moving towards one of our own divisions. As per the Emperor's order, an order to stand down was broadcasted." He gulped
"They were not heeded and they were soon within firing range of our ships. By 8:46:03 they broadcasted their own message. It will be read after this. They, by then officially declared an enemy of the state, continued their advance and we opened fire. In the end, out of the 1,000 frigates present, 679 were lost but the UE (unknown enemy) lost all of their 500 strong attack force. We are currently deploying a research team to conduct an analysis but it seems the enemy's ships are essentially large bioform. As for the message: " He swallowed hard as everyone in the audience looked on with expressions of fear.
"We are the Zerg, we will enslave you all. Victory shall be ours." He was breathing heavily by then. The Prime Minister went back up as the other man walked off sweating heavily.
"In response to this, we are currently readying and mobilizing all forces to the Olix System. The IEEESF fleet that had recently been attacked is currently patrolling the system." Moreover, only 15 of our 50 Victorian Imperial Fleet Divisions will remain in the system, the rest are already being deployed to the Olix System and others to guard against the threat. We will also be producing new ships and are currently conducting research into bioweapons that could possibly have an effect on them. Nonetheless, the elephant in the room is that we are at war - at war with the Zerg. All I can say is this - We will survive."
The assembly was silent for a moment. Then, a single person began to clap, slowly yet with conviction. The rest of the hall then began to resound with the cry:
"Long Live the Empire!"
Azrian's eyes widened as he held his chin
"What do you mean?"
Peltas raised his glove-covered right hand its pal facing upwards. Around them, the room closed down, the windows closed and blue lines glowed on the roof. From the floor, a trapdor opened and from it a glowing blue orb emerged.

It was 29:59 PM on Salvation, a minute before a new day began. The Emperor, Azrian was wearing his signature home clothes, a blue coat over a grey shirt and black pants. He was looking at a holographic map of the galaxy. He dragged his hand over the display, turning it off. He looked out to the glass door leading to the balcony and sighed "Another day another step". He walked over to it and opened it, feeling the cool night breeze blow into his face. He looked around him, around the Imperial Palace.
It's weird, it's already been a month but I still can't shake the feeling. The feeling that I now decide the fate of the Empire's future,
that future my ancestors gave me.
He sang a patriotic tune he had learned in his boyhood as he looked to the skies.
"Forward! Forward! Into the future we march!
Forward! Forward! Out of the blackened past"
He looked at his watch, a wristwatch which was strange as now people had their holographic displays, and realizing the time, he went back inside, closed the door and retired to his chambers. There he was alone, he was still single (being only 21 and all), making it quite weird considering he was the most powerful person in an entire system. He dozed off and dreamed of the future.
He awoke to the sound of his old friend's voice. "Your majesty, please rise, you have a big day today."
"Peltas, gimme a bit more time" he said rolling away from the source of the voice.
"Your majesty, address me as Prime Minister, it is not befitting as Emperor. Besides, the old lady of the chambe- I mean the Speaker of the Chamber of Titles will be mad..."
"I'll be right over then" he said with a sigh. It was going to be another long day.
He went to his wardrobe where he picked out his black trousers with gold hem, a white polo, a black vest with the Imperial Crown's insignia on its right side and a blue trench coat with gold hems. After putting on black shoes, he left the Private Rooms. Upon leaving, he met the secretary at his desk.
"My Lord, would you like me to inform the government of your presence?"
"Of course" he proceeded to take the archaic telephone from his desk and call the secretary on the West side of the building as I walked off to the West Wing, passing by portraits of previous Emperors.
There he was greeted by 2 men in full dress at the front door into the wing. They saluted him and he nodded, they went to his side and knocked on the door once.
A holler was heard from the other side of the room "Announcing the entry of His Majesty the Emperor." He walked in through the double door with my escorts by his side.
The room was an old one yet the brown paint that covered it spoke otherwise. So did the clean almost brand new-looking chandelier which hung in the center of the room. To the room's east, the morning sun filled the room with light. Inside, there were several men, some in business attire, others in their full military uniform and others in elaborate garments. They were all silently staring at him. Across the hall was a throne, his throne. It was a simple seat, a seat of old Terran Oak that had been preserved and cushioned. Above it was the nation's flag - a half-visible sun with 3 rays, the other half being submerged beneath the horizon, on a plain blue field with 3 white stripes running vertically down the banner.
He sat down on the throne as the commotion began to rise once more. After a while, the Prime Minister came in from a room behind and silence once more overtook the room. He walked to the Emperor who was also silent, simply sitting straight and observing the scene. He stopped at his right and bowed, saying
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent matter to report" The Emperor's eyes widened and he raised his hand, palm facing the announcer. The Prime Minister nodded and he lowered all but his thumb and index finger. The announcer, a man in his early 20s nodded.
"May I, on behalf of the government, request that all Lords proceed to their Chamber and all but the Prime Minister leave the room." With that, everyone filed out of the room, leaving the Emperor, Prime Minister, the escorts and announcer in the room.
"Peltas, what is it you have to say?"
"Call me 'minister', your majesty"
"Fine, now what is this urgent matter?"

- History:
The following is the transcript of a speech by then-Prince Azrian Victorinne I on behalf of his mentally unstable father 2 years ago:"Today is 5378 P.E.Y (Post Exodus Year). 5,378 years ago, this Empire had only arrived on this new world by the HSSA and one of my ancestors made a speech reminding us to carry on though our home, whose name has been long forgotten, was destroyed. 5,000 years ago one of my ancestors stood before you here after the crushing of the Rafalian uprising. 4,921 years ago another stood before you all the day this planet was unified under Victorian rule, the day we made this place home. A mere hundred years after, Empress Thalia celebrated the completion of the SEVD Project and 30 years later the System Exhaustive Survey was completed. It was then we discovered the Ylvians, the Gloss and the Varss who we regrettably had to subjugate and exterminate due to their threat upon our species. But it was then our calling by the stars was answered, it was then a new age began. And today is another one of those times. Not I, but all of us will be remembered as those who left the shackles of the past! Today, we once more free ourselves of our restraints! For today, a new step into the future has been made. Today we set off in search for new star systems. The tomorrow we have searched for, the tomorrow where the galaxy is bound in the grip of our beloved fatherland, united in search of the light of the Future will soon be achieved!"
Today; however, we must also remember the sacrifices we made. What we had given up for this glorious future. We can only hope that now and tomorrow, we may avoid unnecessary bloodshed. That no more will have to join the Ylvians, Gloss and Varss in the grave.
Yet we must continue to move forward! Into the future! If we must sacrifice then we must! If for the sake of progress any sacrifice is necessary! We will overcome all obstacles and destroy all roadblocks.
But today is no day of mourning nor a day to arm ourselves in preparation for a war. Tonight we celebrate! Let every house in the Empire be filled with joy! So fellow Victorians I oblige you, be merry!'
The Victorian Empire is a relatively young nation whose history stretches as far back as 6,000 years before the present era. The Empire was founded on Earth by an unknown individual only referred to as the First Emperor. He was a main sponsor for a massive Project known as Project Salvation. The product of which was the Human Species Salvation Ark or simply the 'Ark'. They fled in the ark from the dying Earth, arriving on Valia-IV (Salvation). Upon arriving, the early nation was unstable and nearly collapsed had it not been for the few who believed in the First Emperor's ideals. They reformed the government but were unable to keep the state from splintering. After 100 years, the nation had nearly reunified. Then, the Rafalian revolt broke out who led a revolt that lasted 278 years. In that time, the rest of the world was developed either under the Rafalians or the Victorians. When the revolt was finally put down, much knowledge of the past was gone, devolving technology to the equivalent of 1500 AD (~-4500 PEY).
The Empire recovered quickly and launched its first space missions only 200 years later. Soon, they began interplanetary travel and now they are capable of interstellar travel. - Victorian Government:
The Empire is a Constitutional Monarchy with the Emperor as Head of State and the Prime Minister as Head of Government.
The Empire's Legislation is quite confusing for non-Victorians as it is made up of 2 levels: The National and Imperial Assemblies.
The National Assembly itself is Bicameral having two chambers: the Chamber of Titles and the Chamber of the Commons. The CoT is made up of people who hold titles or have been deemed by the Emperor as influential enough to be in the council. It has 50 seats but can have as many as 65 seats. The CoC is composed of officials elected by the people. The number depends on the decision of the High Triarchy which decides before every election how many seats there will be and the distribution per territory. The Imperial Assembly is the term for the entire legislation: The aforementioned National Assembly and the High Triarchy. The triarchs are the Emperor, the Prime Minister and the Speaker for the CoT. This council is the only one with the authority to declare war, sign treaties and make other important decisions.
The Empire's Executive follows the Parliamentary Model. Some notable ministries and agencies are:
The Bureau of Imperial Affairs
The Ministry of Science and Technology
The Ministry of External Affairs and Relations
The Ministry of Internal Affairs
Bureau of Public Health and Safety
Armed Enforcement Section
The Ministry of the National Armed Forces
The Ministry of Administration
The Ministry of Information and Communications
The Judiciary is composed of Local Courts, Planetary Courts, System Courts and the Imperial Tribunal composed of the Supreme Triarchy and 7 Justices.
Elections are held either at the Emperor's behest or death or when the Parliament deems the PM or ruling party has been in power for too long or passes a motion of no-confidence. - Alignment:
