The Dracs could hide inside any of the Big Three's backyards if they really wanted. There would be ways to hide an entire planet.

And there are, actually, other galaxies with Draconian influence. There were, what, 4 or 5 different Draconian factions, only one of them being at the MWG? I'm planning on at least two of these still thriving: you'll read about it in a Supreme post sometime soon. Most likely with negotiations with the humans.

Orbit around Planet Tula
3 Supremes were sitting in a titanium-glass observation deck at the bottom of a Stealth Electronic Warfare Corvette, Flanking the SEW Corvette were two Stealthed Escort Assault Corvettes, or SEA Corvettes. All three of these were virtually undetectable to both the Equestrians and the Alexandrians, which brought the 3 Supreme Ship Commanders great pleasure. They sat, staring down at the planet with vision easily better than a hawk's, using 3-D maps in their head to watch the going-ons, and listen to the transmissions. As the pass codes and instructions were pinged back to the Equestrians, the Supremes quietly intercepted the signal, received, duplicated and continued it to the Equestrians with no delay, and a smaller Stealth fighter from the small single-fighter bay in the SEW Corvette moved down to lower orbit, using passcodes, memory-replacement, and hacking wherever needed to continue being undetected. When the time came, they would reveal themselves, and laugh at them and their efforts to begin forming a wall against the Supreme Collective.

Equestrian Contact
"Message Received. Diplomat Convoy en route now, ETA, 3 human minutes. USCS <Translated_as=Peace-Carrier> arriving shortly, carrying two Supreme Diplomats, escorted by two Supreme-Draconian Pilots, two Elite Supreme-Kilve Guards, two Elite Supreme Battlemasters. Prepare for arrival."

And in exactly three minutes from the message above being sent to the Equestrians, a Corvette folded out of foldspace, and moved into orbit around the planet. The ship was different from the previously-known Corvettes: This one had a long, lean appearence, with an 'X-wing' style in the rear section, powered by one center engine, and an engine on the end of each of the four wings, each of them leaving a trail of blue light, similar to hardlight, but not as hard, obviously. The ship, which would be big enough to be taken out of other peoples' versions of fighters, or even really really big bombers, immediately broadcasted a message:

"Diplomat Convoy USCS <Translated_as=Peace-Carrier> arriving shortly, carrying two Supreme Diplomats, escorted by two Supreme-Draconian Pilots, two Elite Supreme-Kilve Guards, two Elite Supreme Battlemasters. Permission to descend to <IDentified_as:CanterlotCastle> ?"

Human Re-Contact
"Message and Coordinates received. Diplomatic Convoy en route to sent coordinates. USCS <Translated_as:=SupremePride> arriving shortly, carrying one Supreme Diplomat, one <Translated_as=GreatTenLeg>, two Supreme Battlemasters, four Supreme-Draconian Ceremonial Guards. Prepare for arrival. Message: You have met us before, humans. We were present during humanity's golden age, and the downfall of the Galactic Empires to what you have become now."

Alexandrian Contact
The Supreme suddenly frowned, and the sinister, hideous features suddenly became complimented by true anger in his red eyes.

"That is waste. You will order your underlings to kill themselves as an example. It is a disgusting example, Alexandrian. We have created races that practically enslaved entire galaxies, enslaved those who enslaved others, and those people, people like you Alexandrians, couldn't do anything to change their fate."

In less than half a second, the Supreme darted forward, slamming his clawed hand around the Alexandrian's throat, lifting him up into the air as if he were no more than a teddy bear, and shook him. Fangs bared savagely, the Supreme stared into the Alexandrian's eyes, and surrounded the slaver's mind with his own, preventing any telepathic communication to or from the Alexandrian's mind. Should the Alexandrian glance down at his enslaved Victorians, he would find them passed out, knocked out, by a telepathic force stronger than they could ever hope to understand. Both physically and telepathically, the Supreme squeezed down on the Alexandrian, stopping short of killing or forcing the creature into unconsciousness.

"What's it like to be powerless," the Supreme purred sinisterly, "Please, what's it like to know that you could die in a moment if the more powerful one so much as wished to demonstrate his strength? There are many times in many histories of many races where the enslaved rose against their masters, murdered them all, and then took over. The humans would say, Where there's will, there's a way, and you would never be able to completely enslave that race. And because you killed that Victorian on a Supreme vessel, I can take it as misdirected hostile action. I can even take that body, preserve it, and make thousands, hundreds of thousands, even hundreds of millions of Victorians, able to think independently, give them weapons and training that you could never hope to understand at your current primitive stage, and send them to take over your worlds and take your power. I have no doubt that you have power; what you have is arrogance. Time and resources can be wasted, but we believe, as a rule, that life is not to be wasted. In a war? There are disputes, and many times, letting two opposing, conflicting sides hash it out can be very beneficial; either way, it is likely that they will cease conflict for quite some time, whether by one side's extinction, or mutual agreement that the fight is too costly."

"You have insulted my hospitality and my culture, and I have been kind enough, so far, to overlook it. Even your thinly veiled distaste for my appearance. And my appearance reflects only one side of all Supremes: We can be the red-hot blade that severs the head from the neck. Or we can be the ones who pull the fallen ones back up. I get enslavement. We've done it. But if you give carefully monitored freedom with certain prices, you can make them flourish. They will not need to be commanded, and they will not need to be enslaved: They will work as hard as they can, not because their lives depended on it, but because they want to. The thing is, efficiency is having them want to do what you say. They'll do it better, and they'll do it faster, and they'll do more without having to be commanded. The right to have freedom is not yours to give, Alexandrian."

And then he tossed the Alexandrian to the floor, and summoned one of the drones. Telepathically, he told it his instructions, and in the next moment, the drone moved over the Alexandrian, and for a moment, didn't do anything except charge up an unseen device, a whine building, similar to that of some primitive lasers.

In a moment, however, all damage was removed from the Alexandrian's and the Victorians' bodies, and the dead Victorian was picked up by the Draconian. The lizard studied it thoughtfully, before, well, cutting off its head with a claw that glowed red-hot for a moment, and tossing the cauterized body back to the Alexandrian. "Keep the body; the head is all we need for study." The Draconian turned and walked down the pathway, and the Spider watched curiously.

The next moment, an overwhelming force of thousands of Supremes surrounded the Alexandrian's mind, telepathically, and didn't let him put any resistance as the Supreme Negotiator moved his mind into his head, and placed and removed memories from his mind, and effectively wiped out anything but the Alexandrian meeting with the Supreme, and the Supreme uncovering, and then a no-fire peace agreement was made, and then the Alexandrian blacked out. The Supreme didn't want to take any chances: from his memories, he would only remember the meeting going smoothly, and successfully negotiating into a peace agreement to ensure conflicts wouldn't arise if there were accidental trespasses. Then everything went black, and the people on the scout ships found the Alexandrian's ship being moved out of the hangar, with 3, very large Corvette escorts.

[Summary: The Supreme got pissed, and then broke into the Alexandrian's mind, with the Victorians conscious, and then replaced the Alexandrian's memories with a peace-going side. And don't say it's OP: A single Supreme is very powerful, especially one to live as long as this one. With even a dozen, it would be impossible for a single creature to resist the telepathic attack.]

Alexandrian Contact
The Spider nodded its monstrous head, and moved to the left from the Supreme with a very smooth ease, several of her back legs climbing up onto the large Corvette behind her, and in a resonant voice that was spoken telepathically, she responded.
"We are not the last. This is only one ship of a fleet, though this is our largest ship. Each three of us are but billions on just this one ship, and there live millions and billions more on other ships. We are an ancient race, and each of us will live more than a millennia. The Captain of this ship has been rumored to be eternal; he was the leader that organized our kind and turned us into a fleet that roamed the stars at our very beginning, near the very beginning of this universe. If you ask us how, we will have no answer. As to our intentions, we are content to watch passively, and may help every other emergency. And you, little Victorians... perhaps they could grow if you let them. Give them some freedom, things to work with. They might surprise you. If they don't, then they don't, and nothing bad happens. But if they do, and they make something of serious use, then you will go down in history for unlocking the true power of having the Victorians as little servants. Although I pity you; there are so much more efficient ways to enslave a race."

And then the Spider said to a single, select Victorian:
"Are you scared little one? Can you hear me?"

Alexandrian Contact
The Supreme smiled which was a grusome sight, though the Surpeme didn't seem to care. The Draconian, who was plenty used to the sight, grinned at the Alexandrian's discomfort, and the very obvious discomfort and fear from the Victorians.
The Draconian spoke, instead of the Supreme, saying in a deep, strangely sonorous voice.

"The Supremes were present when those creatures, who we believe are to be the Humans from your descriptions, were in danger of extinction from a threat from another galactic cluster or universe. We never investigated the source; we only interfered with their operations every now and then. The humans, and their many alliances, for they were very large and very powerful, even more so by the amount of pacts and treaties they had with different races and empires, couldn't do anything to stop the tide of war that was threatening them with destruction. Another race, allied distantly with the humans, called the Triarians, managed to build a device to destroy them. In the process, it tore apart the dimension or universe that they had come from, and caused occasional tears in our own universe. The destruction that followed sent all the races, including the humans, back to a single world, all other planets and colonies dying out, and leaving them to look for space again. We had fled, and managed to escape destruction in our many territories, but our real forms, whom you see beside me, used to be carbon-based, and yet through the destruction, they had become based on something much more dangerous. Our true, natural forms, again, as you see next to me, are made up of an element of unidentifiable, infinite particle that has proven to be radioactive. While not too terribly so, if you were to hug him for a couple months, you would develop minor radiation poisoning, which we can easily cure."

The supreme nodded, and continued.
"For whatever reason, our anatomy and our DNA shifted, being based on a very similar system, with some very different bases. And our bodies changed to our DNA: In nine Human years, our bodies had completely turned skinless and sinister. But our physique had changed as well. Before, we were not fit for combat, except with our telepathic and electromagnetic abilities. Now, I could knock every single one of you out without even a bruise before the last one knew what happened. But very few of my kind embraced such changes, and instead turned to other forms, as my Draconian bodyguard here so stands for. And we are not only Supremes; the creature behind me is an extremely intelligent, and occasionally destructive, figment of my imagination. Yes, you heard me. I'm not entirely sure, but in a bout of emotional instability, I created this creature out of my anger at not being able to figure something out. And so, this creature also dislikes not figuring something out. If she asks you something, please answer. I do not wish for my hull to be torn open again."

The Spider just stared at them with more than a dozen eyes, each one trying to force the Victorians and Alexandrian to look every single one of them in the eye at the same time. It was just as much for the Spider's fun, as it was for the Spider wanting to give him a headache for screaming in her creator's presence.

The New Order(Post WW3 RP)

The majority of APIRCA personnel are guards, and that's because having automated weapons systems is more expensive to maintain and produce. If a bunch of people wanted to buy them, though, then guards would probably be laid off [or shipped elsewhere] and replaced with new, efficient systems. More demand = more use in APIRCA.

Alexandrian Contact
The Supreme's head bowed in recognition of his decision, and gloved hands appeared from the robe's two arm-sleeves, reaching up with long, muscled fingers. Slowly, they slipped the hood back, revealing the face of a truly unusual sight. As the Supreme slipped out of his robe, and handed it to his Draconian guard [Who handed it to the Spider, who ate it silently], it became apparent of why he might want to hide his body.

Covered in a light, flowing, glittering material, which the Supreme would have named as "Spun Titanium," with no sleeves, and a pair of pants of the same material. HIs skin was nonexistant; the Supreme's body was all muscle, and little fat or flesh. The skin literally was not there; the muscle, while normally red, had become like tanned leather, and as the Supreme moved to take off a mask from his face, it became known why they kept a mask as well. Deep, sinister red eyes seemed to infinitely glare outwards, and a nose similar to a snout and a beak at the same time, with a flat end, and the muscle-skin hardened around the mouth into canines the size of a very large animal, larger than a bear's. The fangs on the upper half of his mouth hung over the lower half of his jaw, and when he spoke, it was perfect speech, not at all disrupted by his mouth shape or tongue.

The Supreme clasped his gloveless, clawed hands in front of him, and raised one, slightly rugged ridge above his eyes that took the place of eyebrows, he asked, in a voice that is now raspy and, again, almost sinister, "Satisfied, Descendent of Alexander?"

Inside, of course, the Supreme was going to start howling with laughter if the Alexandrian was startled from the sudden change.
