"It is confirmed that contact with Trottingdale city on the human home world has been lost. Information is spotty at best... hang on... are you sure? New troubling information has come to light concerning the loss of contact with Trottingdale. What has been described by analysts as a raid on the Admin Key of Trottingdale, Unfortunately it is confirmed that Princess Cadence of the Ruling council was present in the Admin key during the raid. The Human Resistance who has been characteristic to their species and passive up until now, has assaulted the Admin key with the confirmed aid of at least one Changeling. The changeling King Thorax has expressed his assurances that this changeling and others like it are a remnant of the old regime and do not represent the changeling Nation at large. The attackers were quickly routed and cornered inside of the admin key by the Valiant Royal guard and noble UEC soldiers. But the whole situation did a complete 180 as a New and as yet unseen species Similar in size to the humans but insectoid in appearance, much more aggressive, merciless, and advanced than the backward savages arrived on the scene and aided the humans and other resistance fighters. They then proceeded to achieve what we once thought impossible and bomb the UEC military base near the city from orbit. It is still unknown how their ships made it passed the state of the art fleet above the planet. But after the orbital strike the new race proceeded to kill all UEC and Royal Guard forces in the Admin Key whose defensive magic, armor and weapons appeared to have no effect on the advanced races armor. It has even been Confirmed that Captain Shining Armor of the Royal guard was killed in an effort to free his wife from these things before they forced her into some kind of craft and disappeared into the night. Princess Cadence's whereabouts are unknown at this time, Our hopes and dreams go out to the families of the UEC citizens who were caught in the Orbital attack that destroyed the Admin Key and the entire 6 block radius around it. This has been White Rose UEC news reporting." The news report played on a twilivision screen in the Council chamber in Sisters castle on the UEC home world of Eques.

"WHAT IN TARTERUS IS GOING ON OUT THERE! WE NEED TO SEND A FLEET TO CAMELOT IMMEDIATELY!" a large Gryphon yelled from one section of a large circular table, around which sat the leaders of the various species that made up the UEC.

"Calm down Tallon you are getting to worked up. Think about what you are saying, We don't know anything about this new race or what they are capable of. We need to study them before..." a purple Alicorn said from her seat.

"Of course you would say that Princess Twilight you are more concerned about your Science and magic. You don't care about..." another delegate was cut off when Twilight rose from her seat.

"How dare you even think I don't care my brother is dead thanks to these Humans and their new friends!" She screamed her horn glowing with a brilliant violet as she charged a spell.

"Enough! While we don't agree with Twilight's sentiments she is correct in worrying about the capabilities of this new threat. We can’t forget that they are probably only responding to the signal sent out by the human that was executed a few weeks ago." A dark blue alicorn said as she silences the Zebra.

"Yes Luna is right, and the news of that execution has only gotten around to half of the UEC by now. It will take time for the resistance groups to take the warning to heart." A white alicorn said

"You say that but the Resistance movements that have received the news have stepped up their attacks, and in lieu of this new attack are getting reports of Kleese, Miralo, and Tymerian Resistance groups joining forces with humans. If the Slave cast and old changelings unite against us..." the Grand General of the Royal guard began.

"Then we will Crush them. We need to strike fast and hard to sow fear in the hearts of the resistance!" king Thorax yelled slamming his chitin fist into the table earning a small cheer and nods of agreement from the assembled council.

"As we speak there is a fleet already in the works and within the day will proceed to the Planet of Camelot to reinforce the Human homeworld. With orders to reason with our new neighbors, and if that is not possible to cleanse the celestial system of these Techno barbarians. This meeting of the Council is dismissed" The monarch Celestia said standing to her full height and moving off pulling her two human slaves along with her, followed closely by princesses Twilight and Luna. The other delegates cheered as a dragon rose from his seat yanking on a chain forcing a badly beaten and malnourished 1.8 meter female bipedal pale red scaled reptilian known as a Tymerian to stagger forward.

"Slave take news of what you have heard to the Lunaport tell the Dragon's breath and brimstone to join the fleet The dragons will not be left out of this chance to test ourselves against a new opponent. I want you on the Dragon's breath and to report back to me immediately on returning." He orders unbinding the chain and pressing a button on his tactical pad earning a chime from the females collar.

"Y-yes my lord." She responded her tail drooping upon hearing the knowledge that she would be part of the fleet. Days of beatings, mal-nourishment, attempted rape, and general abuse wasn't particularly palatable but at least she would be away from king Kharne. So she bowed and walked towards the door.

"Wait take these these two with you. They will serve as the changeling liaison as well." king Thorax said releasing two 2 meter tall beings with lower body like a tarantula with six fuzzy thick legs and an upper body covered in the same fur on there thick exoskeletons. There upper body were strange with two fur covered arms ending in a three fingered claw, and heads with two large multifaceted eyes above a fanged maw with two large venom filled fangs on either side. These were the Kleese a race of honorable warriors, brilliant builders and artists, at least they were before they were subjugated by the UEC. Now however they were the lowest of the low in the Slave class do to there arachnid heritage, and general stature being a off putting to a culture based on aesthetics above all else. The larger of these two biased on their eye color being Red with a black pupil and pale white with no pupil respectively was descended from the Zaltule warrior class of the Kleese but were treated even worse and would often be seen in resistance cell.

"Yesh Lordch!" they responded in unison before scuttling to the tymerians side.

Together the three of them made their way out of the castle and towards the Luna port. On the way they passed a few humans looking a little worse for the where, and some looking defiant and often getting into fights with one another. Before breaking up as a Pony or other non slave race approached, The humans couldn't hide their nature from other slave races like they could from the main casts. The Kleese and Tymerians knew almost upon seeing them fight one another for the first time. That these humans were naturally much weaker than the Kleese and lack natural armor and weapons like the crustacean Miralos, and didn't have thick scaly hide or tails to strike with even. In fact they were quite fragile compared to the other slave races the closest to their frailty being the Tymerians. The humans made up for their frailty with belligerence, ingenuity, and ability to use knowledge as a weapon.

If the UEC hadn't taken the human home world when it did the mammals could have become a threat to the UEC and an ally to the slave cast. Even now they are proving to be useful ally's, keeping the military guessing where they will strike next, and unlike the other resistance groups there rebellions are strictly organised, militant and well equipped. Enough to the point that the old changelings have sided with them in there guerilla war against the UEC. On a side note after word of the execution of the human got around and the news of attack just a few days ago. It's been like the humans are aware of something that either happened in the past, or will happen in the future. This is making them fight harder, more aggravated, and...

Her train of thought was cut off as she and her two Kleese compatriots reached the Dragons Fire's shuttle in the Luna Dock. In front of the boarding hatch were two Dragons armed with light armor and large shotguns with m2 assault rifles slung on there backs in front of there wings.

"What is your purpose." one of the dragons said lazily leering at her.

"We have orders from King Kharne and King Thorax to tell the Changeling ships Bilge, and Scorpio as well as the Dragons fire and Brimstone to join the fleet in orbit. We are here to bored the Dragon's Fire to report back to our owners when the fleet returns." The Tymerian said handing the learning dragon a data pad. Who scrutinizes it for discrepancies for a minute before waving her and the two Kleese in.

Much to her dismay the dragon gives her tail a smooth stroke making her flinch back, before turning and spitting on one of the Kleese as they pass. It will take two days to reach the Camelot celestial system, and reinforce the human home world. In actuality she was kind of excited she had never seen Camelot, the rumor was that the human home world is a garden planet with amethyst oceans, and emerald trees. But with almost no life, and was almost ruined when some natural disaster hit just days before the UEC arrived in orbit. Maybe two days of dodging abuse might be worth it if just to see the human home world, when inside and alone she voiced her opinion to her companions who only nodded.

"Yesh I have heardsh that Human Archechure ish very how they shay utilitarian." The Kleese with white eyes said nodding his head.

"Yesh it will be a treat to get away from the abush of the chaingelingsh." the Zaltule responds fixing his multifaceted eyes on her and crossing his two arms.

The fleet was thirteen strong consisting of two cruisers from the Gryphon federation, two from the Zebra alliance, two large destroyers from the Dragon kingdoms, two destroyers from the Changeling hives, and the rest being made up of pony war ships consisting of mainly advanced space control destroyers, and cruisers. After the fleet got under way she stood by a window gazing out into space. Wondering what this new race would be like, would they be conquering and arrogant like the UEC, or a race of builders and architects but honorable and warlike like the Zaltule of the Kleese, would they be a race of intellects and healers like the Miralos, perhaps bold and cunning like the humans, or caring and wise like her race. She hoped to see them and maybe meet one one day. She saw a small smile on her maw in the reflection in the window, and corrected the dressings on her small horns.
