Orders from the Turian Hierarchy to Admiral Sorul Tintus January 2 2093

We have received you report on the situation at Relay 314 and believe that you are correct in your actions. This new foolish race was attempting to blindly open a dormant mass relay which could lead to devastating ramifications for the rest of the galaxy. In addition, their attempts to fire on your ships are to be taken as an act of war. Your standing orders are to proceed to the alien home world that you have identified, and pacify the population. You are being given free decision making authority on how you accomplish this goal.

Councilar Tevos's Diary

There was a disturbing development today; a report came in of a minor Turian mobilization near relay 314. The hierarchy was silent on the matter, but I feel that there is something far larger at work. There will be a session of the Council tomorrow; I will pressure Sparatus on the matter and hopefully learn something useful.

STG Report

We have learned from an informant in the Turian Hierarchy that a violent first contact has occurred at the dormant relay 314. The informant states that the new aliens were attempting to activate the dormant relay, and were attacked by a Turian patrol fleet. Recovered bodies reveal that the new race is bipedal and mammalian, with a similar appearance to Asari, with a physical build more like a Batarian. These reports are incomplete because the bodies were recovered after their ship had been destroyed, and the bodies had drifted in vacuum for several hours.

Edit-a second group of ships was encountered by the same patrol fleet. The alien ships fired on the patrol fleet, but were destroyed. The new race is considered to be violent and aggressive in the protection of its territory. Further analysis is required, but a Solution Protocol could be required.

Recording from the CIC of the Turian cruiser Guardian Spirit

First mate "Admiral, may I ask a question?"

Admiral Tintus "Certainly"

First mate "Thank you sir, was it really the correct course of action to fire on the unarmed alien ship sir? They couldn't have known about Council Law or…"

Tintus "That is enough. You have been a fine officer of mine for many years; I would have never thought that you of all people would question my decisions. They violated Council Law, we are in the right, and they will learn from their mistake. Am I clear?"

First mate"…..Yes sir."

Tintus "Very well, do you have anything else to question?"

First mate "No sir"

Tintus "Good. Tomorrow, we commence our attack, and they will be brought into the galactic community. Either by their own will, or as a client of the Hierarchy."
