Situated a mere light-year from the imperial capital, a local defense fleet quietly stands guard above the pleasant world of K'Kol. Fighters run practice drills alongside massive warships that patiently sit as intended, the flowing of trade goes about as normal, and life on the planet as a whole remains stable and protected. On deck aboard a fleet carrier, the Admiral in charge of leading the fleet stares deep into the unknown abyss of the cosmos while the crew around him operate the vessel without trouble. For about 10 minutes, he just peers from the deck, contempt with the role he'd been given. Suddenly a sensor begins going off, snapping the Admiral out of his trance almost immediately. As he fixes himself to observe, it begins going off rapidly until it's the only thing you could hear.

A few moments after the sensors, it seemed as if a million or more ships had been summoned from thin air as many fleets' worth of vessels reveal themselves from crimson mist. This sends shockwaves of panic across the fleet, who instantly turn their batteries towards the mass. The lead Admiral however gives the order to hold fire, as they didn't appear to be hostile. Still on high alert, a message would be crafted for the outsiders to receive that would let them know where they were as well as ask who and what they were. Until a response could be received, it was a seemingly never-ending stare-down between the outsiders and the defense fleet...

Not a single ship responded to the call. Even with the massive presence before them it seemed as if there was no life... there was only silence.
There was a 2 hour gap between the next action. The ships began to organize again, the largest of them taking point, coming closer to the planet. As the rest stopped moving the biggest one continued a slow descent towards a field, its weapons and defenses still offline and seemingly holding no intention to engage in combat, only to land. As it did, it was unknown why gravity itself wasn't destroying this massive piece of metal larger than Manhattan island itself.
The ship seemed old with no sign of any windows or even a bridge for commanders. It was sleek in design though its age showed with bits and pieces of its outer hull missing, scratches and dents from space debris amongst other things.

There seemed to be large bay doors in its side, closed and sealed with a faded triangle with unknown words in it. There was also another nearby though a bit smaller, wide enough for 6 people to enter at a time and about 20 ft tall, signficantly smaller than the other but seemingly more suitable as an entrance. Both being sealed however nobody was coming in or out. Each door had a pad with two options for them to choose from, a digital button on top the top of the pad and one at the bottom, any security seemed to be bypassed already.

As the ship stood still it emitted humming noises, deep buzzing almost with some high pitch noises every few minutes.
