United Nations Head Offices

A group of officials sit in what was once the security council, both old representatives from before Earth united and newer ones more studied into the rest of the galaxy.

"What you are saying is simply insane, how could you think we should just- build a fleet and invade an Empire infinitely larger and more powerful than what we control now? Where would we get the resources or the finances to build a fleet at the same level as the Empire?" One official says in heavily accented English.

"Even if we did, there is no reason to, the Empire has been entirely peaceful, they gave us the jumpstart we needed to unite and the technology to colonize the stars." The foreign affairs minister, once the minister of the United States says.

"That is all that you know of, we have sent spies into the Empire and have recently discovered that the Imperial military plans to invade our space and take Earth, and with our current military focused on anti-piracy, we will not stand a chance. I have also personally scouted several systems north of our space and discovered asteroid chains and dead planets with the resources we need to give us a fighting chance." The military grand general responds, showing a holomap of systems just north of their space being rich in necessary resources.

"So then we must... How certain of those rumors are you?" The foreign affairs minister asks.

"One hundred percent. From what I've heard, the Empire will send their fleet in the next two or three years, as they are still constructing their newest warfleet."

"You will have the funding you need, and we will set up mining colonies in those systems... But I will order you one thing, absolutely no aggression toward the Empire until they show it themselves. We won't be the ones to start a war." The recently appointed President James Bithrow says.

"Understood, sir."
