all units of time and measurement have been translated to human standard day of first Contact exploration ship of the Galactic Federation Captain log we arrived at gt3e G2 9027 at 0930 ship time on 183e 9812 of the galactic time the system was a g-type star which three terrestrial bodies orbiting it and two gas giants we detected immense communication on the radio spectrum with systems having heavy space infrastructure on all planets with dozens of hydrogen platforms on both gas giants and tens of thousands of communication Satellites with our sensor VI estimating there were hundreds of thousands more that we have yet detected even at the or Cloud which is the closest our warp drive could get us to the star gravity well thousands of space stations of unknown make and use were detected seconds after we walked in in addition thousands of fusion torches were detected just in the yort cloud with tens of thousands more in the system after a few hours of broadcasting on the radio band what we presumed was an official message by the local government was received with orbital information of the third planet we assume that they sent us data of where they wanted us to park to have an exchange of information we used our Fusion torch to get to the coordinates and in 28 days we were in orbit of the planet it was non-habitable only . 1 atmosphere made up of 80% carbon dioxide with the rest made of deadly gas or toxins the magnetic field of the planet is not strong enough to protect it against solar radiation even if for unknown reasons current radiation is well below the expected level making it a non-issue no life on the planet completely Barren save for City Lights On the Dark Side the temperature during the day is 10° Andor 73 during the night and gravity is 0. 6 G current theory the species boasts an exotic biology making such a hellish World habitable in the meantime we exchanged basic information from the standard first Contact protocol and after an additional 14 days basic communication was achieved we got in contact with the local governor of the star system and the following will be a recording of the discussion as writing what followed in words will be beyond my skills start of recording wow you are actual aliens right this ain't some trillionaire doing the prank again said a humanoid it a pale skin with a tough of fur on the top of his head bipedo with two arms yes we are actual aliens I am to assume you have yet to make contact with any other intelligent life forms he asked ah no we haven't but we only colonized nine solar systems excluding our home system and explored a few others with automated ships with Quantum communicators now for introductions I'm Anderson local star governor of tyes colony and we are humans of Earth the human Anderson said I am rid captain of the exploration ship of the Galactic Federation did you say colony is this system not your home system he asked oh Gods know we're the newest colony of the Teran Federation this colony is barely 50 years old our home World Earth is about 130 light years away from here say we didn't detect your exhaust plume until you came into the system and no matter what we try it's like you guys pop up on the edge of the system did you use a magnetic cell to slow down or what the human said for the record I was experiencing serious confusion as to what the human said magnetic sail what even is that what does a cell have to do with magnetism and exhaust plume why would they warping further away to get into the system why would you see our exhaust boom beyond the solar system we didn't use it we simply walked to the edge of the solar system am I to assume that your walk drives are more sensitive to gravity Fields Walk Drve please wait the human said suddenly confused and very serious he went out of the field of view of the camera and arguing could be heard in the background after a few minutes he came back am I to assume that this warp drive bends space in a way to go faster than light the human asked well of course it's the only way to go FTL and thus go to another star system the only other known methods of FDL are wormholes but those would require negative energy to fit a spaceship he said and do you have artificial gravity that is not generated through spin Gravity the human asked well of course we have artificial gravity we are not primitive to the point of spinning to generate pseudo gravity he said I'm going to have to send a message to my government what you bring will revolutionize species as a whole are you authorized to make trade deals the human said I was once again confused humans have colonized numerous solar systems yes in a very long time they colonized a few systems but if they are all on the same level of infrastructure or more then it does not matter but yet they say that artificial gravity a Walk Drve would revolutionize their civilization how bad was their gravity manipulation Tech I am not a uiz to make trade Deals Only exchange information for further diplomats to use how bad is your FTL technology for you to want to us so badly he asked well that's the thing we don't have FDL the human said this joke is not funny why' you want our artificial gravity and walk Drve technology he asked again losing patience at the useless joke of the human I'm not joking we truly do not have FTL if you do not believe me we got an incoming Interstellar ship coming in you can see how we operate and work without it the human said end of recording as much as I wanted to deny this obvious lie to sto time for whatever reason I obliged I informed my superiors of our Discovery and current situation to prepare a diplomatic team for negotiations 3 days later we were given a warning to stay out of a zone for the next month I did not understand why but did As Told and assembled the ship science team for observation this apparently was the first step to slow down the ship using a laser sell whatever that was at 1200 a bright purple light appeared it was a laser array kilometers in diameter built on the second planet it is so powerful that the dust in the solar system reflected enough light to be detected plus the small amount of it that was reflected by the mirrors to their ship sensor the team estimated that the laser had enough energy to vaporize their ship in minutes such a thing would require enormous amounts of energy and yet it fired for one whole month then they saw it the exhaust plane was so big they were larger than the ship which itself was 12 km long yes you read that right 12 km long the ship used an antimatter catalyzed Fusion torch which used the antimatter to enhance a proton proton Fusion torch to start more Fusion processes which resulted in a final exhaust velocity of 0.
7 C with a force of 250,000 tons each the ship weigh surprisingly only 750,000 tons with only 50,000 tons of it being cargo the sail we saw it retracted once the laser stopped firing it was literally the that a sail made of hyperreflective material only 20 molecules thick and 40 km in diameter the force of the photons being reflected was enough to slow the ship from 0. 99c to 0. 5c then the ship fired his engine for 2 weeks before arriving in orbit around the planet they also didn't have plasma Shields they surviv near sea impacts from dust and nanomites with six armor ples space 200 M from each other the plates themselves are made from an unknown mix of composite and Alloys this type of armor they call a Whipple Shield the first plate turns any impacts into smaller fragments which are also instantly turned into plasma by the sheer energy of the impact the second one has an additional magnetic field to spread the Plasma on a bigger area and again it goes into smaller fragments this repeats until it hits and stops at the fourth plate with the last two as backup to say that I and the crew were stunned would be an understatement we also learned the following they do not have an exotic biology and use the same carbon based one of all Galactic species before they even went to another system they colonized all of their solar system not in the sense that they were multiple habitable planets but in the sense that what is considered desolate and an uninhabitable world are still colonized their city and living conditions are the same as on orbital stations they even try to convince us they somehow colonize two gas giants which we of course didn't believe as such a thing is impossible they have had Interstellar Wars with themselves without FTL three times I don't think I need to explain further my recommendation do not anger them they La the technology that they should have but instead of making FTL they explored and colonized other systems before they gain the capability to generate artificial gravity their technology would not be said to be primitive in fact it is in all aspects equal to or better than ours but they lack other fields like plasma Shields and the obvious FTL and artificial gravity for now they are incredible engineers and made do with their constraints 400 years ago in 2114 of their year they colonized their whole solar system in less than 100 years and sent the first Interstellar ship to their closest star at only 10% the speed of light they didn't have Shields and instead make do with physical armor plates Space by 100 m they even managed to make true artificial intelligence yes they did it but not like we tried well we tried and fail to make a computer gain intelligence they simply grew cloned brain cells into a special container that connects the brain to computers I cannot even begin to say how insane and unethical that is they assure me that their artificial intelligence has rights and are considered a member of their species which is technically the case as they have the same brain just not the rest of it end of report 23 years later Chancellor Alor are you completely insane I asked they're primitive they didn't have plasma weapons only 14 systems and had no experience with war they have never declared war on any Galactic species so they lack experience I don't see what the problem is here the other Chancellor dmore said you are going on a war that border Alliance genocide for what then refusing to be your species save Empire why do you even need them the Galaxy is big enough as it is and who cares we demanded their better resources and they refused they are only upstart primates that got to the galactic stage 20 years ago we have been here for more than 100 dmore shouted with the screen that's not it you refuse to sign the Geneva Convention that thing has been a thing for them for 600 years nothing in Galactic politics stay for that long and you couldn't think that maybe there was a reason for why their convention lasted so long I said he was right but only because he was an idiot who never looked to the human file although most of the first contact information have been censored the fact that they colonized nine solar systems without FDL and had Interstellar war did get out who has rules for war war is war why can't we use asteroids of a bar civilian centers or green worlds or why can we use poison gas we have it we are going to use it why else would we invent such things dma said and although he would have agreed with him 30 years ago he knew the humans better than anyone he was aboard the first diplomatic ship not the official but the real first they went to their home world and he saw their system it made any corwell system look like some new far away Backwater Colony they had billions of solar platforms harvested the solar energy of their star heck when he was last there they were constructing an engine powered by their Dyson swarm to move their star system which would have allowed them to keep their star from moving away from their colonies which in millions of years would have moved away from them and made them lose control over them he also saw their Museum on their War Interstellar slower than light War warships were kilometers long with Interstellar relativistic kinetic missiles they were weapons to wage war in the interstellar void at a significant fraction of the speed of light knowing full well that only one or none of the two sides will win the fight and that entire Generations would be born before the war was finished hell they colonized gas giants they built floating rings around a gas giant that is stationary and stays in orbit by having a superconducting ring going faster than orbital speed inside the bigger ring and then using electromagnets to support the the stationary Rings all of this at a specific height they get their homo's gravity plus multiple planets worth of living area and they did that twice on each of their two gas giants all of this because they lacked artificial gravity and because they could their discoveries were so enormous that their government made all diplomats and crew of the ship SAR an over secrecy and made a second Diplomat team act as the first dma I'm going to be dead serious right now if you go to war and you refuse to sign the Geneva Convention you are committing genocide on your species he told him so seriously that Dalma actually paused I can't do that the decision is final and we have millions of Warships capable of FTL what's the worst that can happen worst case we lose a million ships and it's a stal mate no big deal dma told him before cutting the call if only you knew the mistake you have made he told himself staring at a black screen 10 years after the declaration of war it is official the humans have won in the most unexpected way possible 6 months after the start of the war the humans managed to hit every trod World all, 1423 of them with a missile the size of of a small ship going at 99.
