(Note: This is a thread to bring in a semi-NPC into play. Feel free to post "readings" and "intelligence reports of your nations, but no formal nation actions.)
Location: Nueva Vida, former Farpost during the era of Farsantismo, now abandoned. Moderately far away from Costa Nueva Colony.
Situation: Unknow object crash-landed in vicinity.
Officers in charge: "Liutenant" has sent troops and scientists to investigate, while Ramiro de la Cott is there too.
=Joint Chief of Air Force, Sea-Ocean & Space Fleet 'Liutenant'=
"I do not know why is it that the beauty of the stars is often understimated." Saida complaining JC.
"We are just staring at the stars, sitting idle. Myself, I would use those derelict Lylatian vessels on the recycleyards to build our new desings."
Commented the JC.
=Minister of Security & Intelligence, Ramiro De La Cott=
"Honestly, I like the stars. And if you want I can get you desings..." Said a deceptive Ramiro.
"But now: Shut up Comrade. We do not know what the heck that thing is. Could be a meteorite, but could be a missile or something else."
He added.
Liutenant made an unhappy, low beep.
(Okay, continuing this later).

The men walked into a somewhat jungle area, that althrough not very dense itself, the night made it difficult to coordinate movement.
Meanwhile, it was a struggle between the Intellicen and the Space Force to see who found the object first; and a struggle between De La Cott to make his friend and colleague, to stop looking at the stars for a moment.
=Joint Chief of Air Force, Sea-Ocean & Space Fleet 'Liutenant'=
"Such beauty... I can not simply ignore it." He said. The sky was clear, and of a dark-deep blue. The stars could be seen without trouble, and even the casual obvserver would agree with the JC on this one.
=Minister of Security & Intelligence, Ramiro De La Cott=
"Okay, you can do whatever you want, but do not blame me if I find it and then deny you the first-research phase."
Exclaimed the secret officer.
A few moments later, a scientist yelled something at Liutenant. Althrough reluctant, he acceded to go; both he and Ramiro went over to a place which, between the trees, made sat-recon very difficult.
Then they were amazed by the sights; a crystal-like formation was standing in the middle of large crater.
=Joint Chief of Air Force, Sea-Ocean & Space Fleet 'Liutenant'=
"So... Go ahead reasearcher. Set up the camp." He said, and with a nod from his friend, the place would become - for a few hours - a far-away research base.

After hours of "research", it had become clear that the crystal was nothing but a crystal... Or was it?
"Let's do" Said Ramiro with a motion from his head. But Liutenant was not ready to leave yet. And one would love Liutenant for that: his persistence.
He approached the crystal, and serached it. It looked completely normal; but with his robotic eyes, he noticed something the others did not.
Enclosed, deep in the crystal was a shape. Yes, a jellyfish-like shape, or so it looked to him. "A jewel inside a crystal? What kind of... anti-theft mechanism? Hidden beauty?"
But sudden the crystal started glowing...! Everyone present would get a surprise. Perhaps for the rest of their lives.

The Crystal shattered. A crature came out of it; a jellefish-like formation... That for some reason had a fiery look, despite being of a glowing light_blue.
The creature spoke, first in inintelligible words, then it said a strange, yet recognizable word: "...Xelanty"... Then it fell to the ground.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The Following months would see the development of a special research branch. Some fool leaked the information to CentraLeaks, so now the entire nation was all "WE HAZ CAN SEE ALIENZ!!!!!11one".
Despite this, progress continued... But was limited. Apart from the word "Xelanty", the alien did not seem to know (or be able to) how to say any other understandable word. Then it became a possiblity that, perhaps, the alien was not a fully developed one? Perhaps it was not a 'Xelanty' after all, it was just it's name...?
The answer would be given a few months later. Whatever the Crystal was, it had a tracking device. A large ship appeared in orbit, the 20/DEC/2010 CE. The fact that the same date was the Supreme Commander's birthday, furthered some conspiracy theorists (who were already having a field day).
The ship send a number of signals, but only one of them came barely recognizable:
"We Xelanty. We reclaim that which is ours. We seek Prince."
Scaringly enought, the small alien now on a research lab turned out to be a prince. The scientific staff hoped he had no regrets about that, otherwise Centraliza would pretty much be fried. To their relief, the Prince Dhel'R was pleased in that stay (he called it "I happier than in forest.") So much, in fact, that he wanted to come again to Earth. Particulary Centraliza. For some reason, Centralizans were not afraid to meet aliens as half of Earth was. Specially non-humanoid aliens.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The following months would see a development of Centralizan-Xelanty relations. The Xelanty were relunctant to trade technology, but they did trade fervently any form of other knowledge... Specially about the Xelanty.
Their home System is know as 'XelanDralarZralaDalar-LanZen." Despite the long name, provided images showed a beauty unique in their galaxy. Or perhaps not so unique, considering they come from a Crystaline Galaxy. There were other species in that galaxy, but none as willing to expand, and as difficult to approach to, as the Xelanty.
'Xelanty' in fact is made out of 4 major factions, divided in a large Confederation. While externally one, internally the Xelanty, Dralanty, Zralanty, and Lanzanty were hardly 'one'. Conflicts still arose from time to time, and each group had it's own goal. Despite this however, they somehow managed to keep a strong unity, at least to foreigners' eyes.
The Xelanty pretty much controled the galaxy of the same name as their homeworld, which was in turn the name of their homesystem. They had a number of vassals, allies, and protectorates that made up for the rest of said galaxy, with very few factions remaining 'independant', while de-facto under Xelanty influence.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The Xelanty were quick to bring the Centralizans in their sphere of influence. Only the Supreme Commander's persistence allowed the avoidance of the word 'Protectorate', instead in Xelanty terms, granting a 'Guarantee'. Despite this, nobody was a fool to see the opportunites here.
In the months that followed, construction of an orbital, top-notch StarBase would follow. Althrough the Xelanty would retain the rights to use it, the Centralizans had nominal authority over it (included economic and law authority, but not military).
StarBase CentraLanty was build.
