OOC: Enter, Goat People...

IC:

-Space, 100 AU from Sol-

A ship drops out of warp outside the Sol System. It is a design never before seen by any Human observer, but a typical design where it came from. It had numerous small warp nacelles, which emit a purple glow, and multiple sublight engines for propulsion. The front involves a large vertical structure, which houses most weapons, along with another flat structure extending to either side. The front is heavily armored and reinforced, with heavy bracing to the engines. The craft is around 500 meters long.

The Harlothians have come for a very specific reason. The alterations caused to space-time by the Protoss Holy Offensive has affected their civilization. As a space faring race, the damages to warp was immediately noticed. As such, Harlothian scientists began working to figure out what happened, and where it happened. After months of study, they have pinpointed one specific origin point, the Sol System. As such, they have sent a scout vessel equipped with scientific equipment and researchers with the crew.

With the ship arrived, investigation can finally begin. Aboard, it's Harlothian crew, which are best described as humanoid goats, set to work, speaking in their native language.

-best Harlothian/English translation, mostly literal-

Harlothian Navigator: "Shipmaster, we have ceased space-bend travel. (Warp by another name) We are outside the stellar herd where we believe the incident occurred."

Harlothian Science officer: "Agreed Shipmaster, we have arrived outside the site."

Harlothian Shipmaster: (Captain) "Very good, Discoverer (science officer) you may begin your scans. Tactical officer, eject the seeing pods to the stellar herd for closer examination. Find out what kind of creatures inhabit this place."

The mysterious vessel begins taking measurements. Measuring how space-time has been altered by the Protoss attack. A missile tube opens up, launching small probes towards Sol to gather information on the system, in particular, Humans. Meanwhile, the ship waits, virtually undetectable simply by being a tiny vessel in the vastness of space...



OOC: Leading up to First Contact. This will probably involve all Earth Navies. Tread carefully, the events of Human-Harlothian First Contact will determine how these two species interact for all of RP afterwards. Good luck.
