The response comes back after a minute or two.

"We call ourselves the Oberon. Our main governing body is the Colonial Union, formerly the UCF. We have been active in space for 32 years. We have only been aware of other life in this galaxy for the better part of two months now, and we've lost contact with those ships, so I apologize if our response to your arrival here seems hasty or aggressive. We're just on high alert since then. Some Asken- No, wait, Ashen something. I don't know how they say it, but are you associated with that group? We seem to be on... well, bad terms with them. They took the crew of the Discovery 7 and we launched a couple titanium rods at them... I don't know why I'm telling you this, but if that sounds familiar, then maybe you've heard of us. So, welcome to star system Glendathu, home of our planet, Klendath.

I'm Maxus Sywell, appointed Governor of the colonies here on Klendath. Do you have any questions, inquiries, demands, or remarks? I'll do my best to answer any."
