A ship emerges from the inky blackness of space that always seems to cover and smother anything without hesitation. The ship itself is unimpressive but thats not what is worrysome to those who observe it the sheer size is very intimidating to many pilots and dockworkers. In fact most often it just docks as it wishes. However it is fully capable of interfering or avoiding most planetary governments or security forces.
Disengage hypersleep and prepare the units for planetary insertion.
Hypersleep disengaged, troops preparing for planetary insertion.
ALLRIGHT MEN GET READY WERE ABOUT TO ENTER THE ATMOSPHERE GIVE ME A FULL REPORT. Shouts Naval Sergeants Major General Vialos over the short wave radios built into the helmets of him and his group. The helmets were designed by a company most would never dream of listening to or buying from. They were paid for by credits obtained by means most people dont know exist.

Whats that sound, it doesn't sound like any ship we have encountered before.
Nor any that are regestered with us.
I have no idea but i highly doubt it has any actual significance to the people within this room.

Why jump straight to violence Lerondiodas.
Why dont we try for a diplomatic solution.
And what pray tell do you propose we do Kelonidesandas?
Why not hail them and see if they respond.
Works for me.
As Kelonidesandas was waiting on a subspace communication unit the ship began a planetary approach. "Who authorized the landing of that ship?"
Not any of us.
Did any of your ports authorize the landing of the ship.
What is the name of the ship?
It's unmarked.
Oh, well then I suppose we should fire on it then. Unless any of you authorized this ships landing."
