IN ORBIT OF SOLOVARNA
ORDER OF BATTLE: [x05] Xo'Xaan Heavy Cruiser, [x03] Deimos-Class Gunship
Oftentimes, the astounding stupidity displayed by select organics was amusing to TD-18. Yet, every time he assumed he had seen the absolute depth of idiocy and the highest degree to which they lacked proper judgement, one of them did something that outdid the last one. Sometimes it involved activating self-destruct sequences in factories, endangering the lives of those within and around the factories. In this particular instance, it involved a large amount of little league corporate entities with aspirations of meaningful influence attempting to threaten one of the founding corporations of the Tion Hegemony.
In Levantine space.
To anyone with adequate perceptions, the Levantine Sanctum and the Tion Hegemony were both very accurately described as slumbering giants. In general, it is ill-advised to poke a slumbering giant with a stick. Especially if one's stick was of insufficient size to compete with the stick of the giant. It is even worse advised to poke two slumbering giants with a stick, let alone smacking the both of them upside the head and not even having a stick to defend yourself in the impending aftermath.
It would seem that, aside from sub-par products, the Ri'essi Union was the galaxy's largest manufacturer of bad ideas.
Near the top of their incredible list of poor decisions was their choice in location for headquarters. Solovarna was a technological backwater. It lacked a meaningfully unified government and a defensive fleet. Why anyone would put their corporate headquarters on a world that could not defend itself was beyond TD-18. Why anyone would put their corporate headquarters on a world that couldn't defend itself and then attempt to take the piss on the galaxy's most potent and unholy alliance of business Sith was so terribly beyond TD-18 that it threatened to overload his programming and result in untimely shutdown. TD-18 distracted himself with easier paradoxes to think over- such as "this statement is false" and "new mission: refuse this mission."
But it is time to focus less on the bad choices of the Ri'essi Union. But instead, the ramifications of their actions. These ramifications would take the form of five Xo'Xaan heavy cruisers and three Deimos gunships appearing in orbit of Solovarn while the rather pathetic amalgamated fleet of the Crystalsong Commonwealth was still deployed elsewhere. Ramifications would also include a transmission to the government that encompassed the land Ri'essi Union headquarters of Skytower.
SALUTATIONS,
AN ENEMY OF THE TION HEGEMONY CLAIMS THIS WORLD AS ITS HOME. HARBORING THIS ENTITY, THE RI'ESSI UNION, IS AN UNWISE DECISION. IT IS HEREBY REQUESTED THAT THE BUILDING OR AREA KNOWN AS "SKYTOWER" BE DESTROYED VIA CONTROLLED DEMOLITION AND ALL EMPLOYEES THEREIN DETAINED UNTIL THEY HAVE RESIGNED THEIR POSITION WITHIN THE RI'ESSI UNION. COMPENSATION WILL BE GIVEN.
YOU HAVE BEEN ALLOTTED TWO STANDARD HOURS TO ANNOUNCE INTENT TO COMPLY. THIS FLEET WILL REMAIN IN ORBIT UNTIL "SKYTOWER" IS NEUTRALIZED AND EMPLOYEES ARE DETAINED. FAILURE TO ANNOUNCE INTENT WITHIN THIS TIMEFRAME WILL RESULT IN CONTROLLED ORBITAL BOMBARDMENT OF "SKYTOWER." UNNECESSARY CASUALTIES AND COLLATERAL DAMAGE ARE EXPECTED IF THIS ACTION WERE TO BE TAKEN. COMPENSATION WILL NOT BE GIVEN. THIS FLEET WILL REFRAIN FROM DOING SO UNLESS STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE IS NOT TENDERED WITHIN THE GIVEN TIMEFRAME.
THE TION HEGEMONY THANKS YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.
