SSV Discovery, Unknown Regions, Unknown Artifact
Lead scientist John Kerchev took a sip of his coffee while observing the strange artifact floating in front of his ship. Coffee was a rare commodity, as it could only be grown in certain regions on the human homeworld of Earth. Though expensive, the luxury was nice additive, able to help ease the headache currently in his head.
This part of the unknown regions was mostly uncharted, the only reason it was partially charted was because of the nearby colony of Shanxi. The line of demarcation had been in effect for thousands of millenias, so moving throughout this region was hazardous.
This artifact he was staring at was definitely old, older than any artifact of the Rakata Empire. Also, it ran on a mystery element, one that defied the laws of known physics. This mystery element has never been discovered anywhere within the line of demarcation, to which intrigued many scientist. The device was not active, from what he hypothesized though he could not be sure.
He let out a loud sigh as took another sip of the bitter drink, then placing down on nearby desk. He picked up a data pad that was on the desk and began a regular recording his observations of the artifact.
"This is log #6, Lead Reasercher John Kerchev speaking. Any attempt to study this artifact leads to more questions than answers for me and my team. The device is not Rakatan, that I can conclude due to it being built in a different style and completely different technology. With this object being powered by a mystery substance, we even can't tell what the object was built for. From what I can tell from its design, it possibly could be a type of primitive weapon, with the build and look of a primitive rail gun. Though it also could be -" just as he was going finish the recording, the middle of the artifact exploded with a blue color.
"What in the name of...?" he spoke. He fell slightly backwards no knocked his coffee on the ground, the black steaming drink staining the floor.
This seemed to irritate the researcher, as he yelled "DAMMIT, I PAID OVER 1000 CREDITS FOR THAT IMOROTED COFFEE". His nearby co-workers shrinking slightly at the sight of their angry boss. He began to cool off as His communicator started to beep and pressed the button to respond.
"Science vessel Discovery, pull back behind the escort now !" the radio operator said, frantically trying to radio the other ships to pull back. The escort moved into battle formation encase of a hostile force appeared trough the machine. The rings started to violently move and the center of the artifact glowed an ominous blue.
The three science vessels pulled back behind the 5 warship escort, but was close enough to observe if anything happened.
In an instant, 30 unknown objects, that one could assume was a star-ship, were in front of the artifact.
John stood outide the observation deck, observing the alien vessels. They were strange in shape, although small in design, wih tough heavily armed with weapons of various sizes.
"Sir, from the reading of those ships, they are using the same mystery element that the artifact is using!" said one of his co-workers as he pressed various buttons and dials.
"Interesting... First contact with whoever built this completing machine" said John. He was hopeful that whoever was on the opposite side was peaceful.
What happened next would lead to shape the galaxy, forever.
