If the Earth is flat, then how does one explain tens of thousands of people all across the globe in various space agencies not ONCE leaking that it's all a lie and everything's flat?

Did you know that baby cheetahs are given Labrador puppies to bond with because they need a stress relief buddy.

Bio
I'll be honest, I don't wanna put a bio up cause I'm afraid I'll scare people off by writing plainly, but not really interested in taking a bunch of time for am that formatting.
So if ya wanna chat, do send a PM!
If you're a friend of mine and wanna see the bio filled, and wanna write a truthful description of yours truly, lemme know! A description from a third party is alwayd the best kind.

I have interest in type 1 and 4.
Just gonna throw this out there:
Humanity is NOT a spacefaring species. Tech hasnt developed enough. However, we do have working theories on producing antimatter, and working designs for railguns

Do note: unknown entities in orbit of any major Juran planet is a fire-first-ask-questions-later zone. Especially considering that the major planets have a large tract of newer, freshly colonized sector of space between them and neutral/unclaimed territory.
I hope he lies. I wanna see understrength Jurans vs outgunned Rurnians. I mean, if the Rurnians managed to prove themselves worthy of respect and independence by beating off the superior Jurans, then the Jurand would be more inclined to vargaining, rather tyan dominating. Why crush strong spirit, when you can harness it?
@Oblik
If the Rurnian territory is a round sphere, then the Juran have encompassed it to cover nearly half of its surface area.
The Juran can be both very command-and-conquer and surprisingly stand-offish.

Ah, for the sake of accuracy:
The Juran know the Rurnian's language because they've been spying on them for ages, and have considerable experience with learning alien languages. Meanwhile, the Rurnians have never ventured out of their space (as you said), and thus would have no idea who the Jurans are... The Juran sent a message to them using Rurnian language, and so they wouldn't have even the slightest sample of the Juran language.
Just something to consider- you can't know what you've never seen or heard.

Juran Stealth Satellite[
The Virtual Intelligence watched the Rurnians with mildly more internet than normal. The Rurnians always were eccentric, thinking ground-warfare was the key in the age of space, but the VI wasn't advanced enough to truly be derisive or judgmental, so it simply thought to itself that they were just... eccentric.
But a different type of activity had begun lately- ship launches, from the surface. Another odd thing- it's far easier to build spaceships in orbit, where they'll never have to deal with the stresses of gravity- but the VI simply added the information to the next packet.
Then something truly foreign happened. In the thirteen solar cycles- thirteen years to the natives- the stealth satellite hadn't seen a single ship or probe enter non-Rurnian space. Because of this, the Juran Councils had decided to leave the nation alone, to watch and glean what they could until there was enough stability to make a small force capable of easily annexing the nation.
But there was a fleet, already warping out to another solar system. The satellite took long hours to collect passive data from the emissions of the hyperjump, and finally concluded its report: the Rurnians were entering unknown space- to them- with a fleet focused around colonization.
Before the Rurnian fleet had even made it halfway to their destination, Juran warships were on an intercept course, having already warped over from a nearby solar system. The Rurnians had kept to themselves, never poking their head outside their bubble once, and so the Juran Empire had began to encompass that bubble. The alien ships would be dropping right in the middle of the spacial region's major mining and industrial node.
Juran Defense Fleet
Three destroyers, two cruisers, one heavy cruiser. There was a support carrier en route, along with four more destroyers, but this was going to be the heavy cruiser's captain first action- he had been sitting around collecting dust, as one of the few ships stationed here and there as protection against pirates or the like. The new Fleetmaster had already sent a message to Region Command, but they had yet to be able to request an actual fleet. So, it was just aging defense ships against some unknown, normally recluse entity.
The fleet was almost to the rendezvous point when the unknown fleet exited their flight into the industrial system. The Fleetmaster's heavy cruiser already in position, plus a cruiser. The other cruiser was being escorted by a destroyer, approaching from the bottom-right, from the other side of the system. Slightly above them came the last two destroyers, only ten minutes away from the heavy cruiser and their new Fleetmaster.
The Juran in charge glanced at his display- a single light-hour away from the new alien entities, the Rurnian, who hadn't been in the system long enough to detect him. Because sensors were limited to the speed of light, he wouldn't be detected for another hour. Meanwhile, he was connected to a complex systems of quantum sensor stations and satellites scattered all over Juran space. The moment the Rurnians dropped out of warp/hyperspace and settled into realspace, quantum sensors would detect the location of the exit. Anytime one tears through the veil between warpspace and realspace, it creates brief quantum rifts. As such, it's easily detected.
And these Jurans knew exactly where this rather small, technologically inferior race was.
An hour later found the Jurans waiting for the encroaching Rurnians just inside the edge of the system.
[In the Rurnians' native language:] "Cease acceleration, Rurnian Fleet. The Juran Empire welcomes you to its borders, and demands that your fleet states your intentions, and that you power down weapons, warp drives, and thrusters. Prepare to have your flagship boarded by Juran marines.

I've been kinda out of it lately, but if you wanna post something about entering an unknown system and being fronted by an unknown empire, I'd gladly take the other end of it.

Alright, i'm not feeling the groove of the Guild. I hardly check it anymore, and I have zero interest or drive to try and keep these roleplays going on here.
Would you like to continue it in a Google Doc? I'd be way more likely to get stuff written if we had a Google Doc.
