Word of greater far off civilizations is not hard to come by. Merchants, explorers, a guy who knows a guy. Human history is rift with bad first contacts. Why the very first alien civilization they contacted extended the hand of contact via nuking earth itself(First Earth - Romulan war) Knowing they will come across these rumored civilizations sooner or later, the Confederate Council has initiated a policy of sending specialized envoys to establish contact, to potentially build alliances, sort out disputes over expansion before they happen, or at the very least gain intelligence on potential enemies. _____________________________ Royal Envoys and diplomatic delegations are organized and sent by the Kaiser himself, to make a grand first impression. Specifically sent to: Orion. Republic of Caecilia. MIKROSGANSTRONDT(The heck). Vrill Collective. Federatis-Ali-Republiaka. The Exodus. Interests in Orion: Depressed robots who just need a pat on the back by someone who understands, potential for alliance. Interests in Caecilia: A fellow Confederation with similar ideals. Alliance at high potential, if not the formation of a faction. Interests in MIKROSGANSTRONDT: Just wanna know who the heck they are. Interests in the former Zala'Iyas Empire: With the collapse of the once feared hyperpower of its age for a seemingly unknown reason, there is both now an unstable frontier that threatens the Confederation, but also an opportunity to fill the power vacuum. The envoys here are searching for a potential proxy to back, potential enemies to spy on, and maybe even new members in the Confederation. ___________________________________________ The envoys travel with a small military escort, along with teams of scientists, diplomats, and agents. They also leave multiple trails of sub-space communication satellites to maintain contact, and to form a link of communication with these other civilizations. They bring gifts, and a set of protocols that include cultural exchanges. __________
