Setting
Pirates are known to escape through this system when being pursued. No government bothers chasing them through. It's common knowledge that many who try to get through are never seen again.
The one known planet exists as an economic powerhouse, offering some of the best shopping and trade in this arm of the galaxy. It can primarily be accessed via teleportation shuttle, as getting there otherwise isn't cost effective for most.
EK-729
A seemingly black void, this supremely large low-light star is heavily surrounded with space debris, causing it's light to rarely escape it's system. Not much life to be found here, if you can get to it through the asteroid belts and other obstacles.

It was at this time that several ships appeared, cloaked in a yellowish-green energy veil. They were visibly decelerating with haste as they retained a formation ready for battle. The yellow-green veils soon receded, replaced by a yellow-purple sphere around each ship that shimmered for several seconds before completely fading from sight. Their designs were vaguely insectoid/robotic, and they were colored in darker shades of grey, green, and red with purple, yellow, and orange glowing patterns across certain features. No doubt the designs were born of a combination of things thought to instill fear from the Continuum's point of view.
Indeed, the logo the ships bore identified them as Continuum, and their armor had the distinctive, subtly quivering sheen of something not truly inanimate and the reflective crystalline plating atop it along with a rubbery material that was smooth. Their weapons were visible and appeared to be of simpler designs, though it was likely just an aesthetic choice, as their lights showed something far more.
The fleet itself quickly grew in number up until there were almost 1000 ships aside from the overly large central one. A paling number compared to the involved fleets, but it was clear that they had to be sure of themselves if they brought a smaller number. The largest ship appeared to be almost the size of a small moon, and the fleet was carefully assembled and numbered in designs to provide a well-balanced challenge if anyone dared try.
Four smaller satellite fleets eventually entered the area, visibly slowing down. Each numbered nearly 500 ships beyond the central ship of each satellite fleet, though these fleets seemed more specialized than the main fleet. The satellite fleets took up specific positions around the main fleet in a defensive formation. No communication was made toward the others already present, sans the Aschen as the large central ship of the main fleet flashed a pattern of lights toward the Aschen fleet in a pattern long known to them; a sign of alliance and support that indicated the Continuum was about to provide the military assistance arranged for as per existing treaty application. Additionally, the Aschen would receive a video message if they had the resources available to respond.
A white-haired bold and smug-looking female humanoid with vulpine ears and tail was on the screen, standing firm and tall (or as tall as she could stand) as if at what others might call "attention". With a fist across her bountiful chest, that her uniform was able to keep in check even while buttoned properly, the female humanoid commanded a level of respect through her presence she imposed. A long blade was kept neatly at her side, appearing as a cross between a rapier and a katana, and it stood out for its unique design. It was kept opposite a large hand-cannon that was holstered, a hand-cannon that looked quite dangerous even when put away. She spoke clearly, using mostly well-practiced, if somewhat accented, Anquietas (bar some minor word order flubs). The whole proper greeting and addressing, as well as language grasp, was quite impressive for an apparent non-diplomat.
The fleet was quite immense...

Adopting an aggressive formation, the Continuum ships prepared to engage Hegalian forces, making the short trip toward them, staying close to the large central ship that made the Dreadnaughts surrounding it look like mere Cruisers at best in comparison.

Admiral Nash grasped the console in silent consideration, as she watched the Hegelian formation on the holographic projection in front of her.
EVE's voice chimed into the CIC. "Priority one alert from the Scylla, and Director Angel!"
Nash looked up to the display. "Patch it through!" As she considered her next move.
"You've been instructed to retreat from this battle, and return your fleet to Imperial Space at once. This is a priority one directive."
EVE's serenity was abruptly cut by the chime of the DRADIS Systems. "Sir! We have two FTL Signatures on the far side of the system!" The Bridge officer called out. "Identifying.... they're Thunderbolt--"
The pair of Thunderbolt Missiles detonated roughly a hundred AU from the Aschen fleet, and while it seemed to be random, the path, and location of the Detonation was precisely calculated to create an intercept course for an approaching ship.
"Tricobalt explosion detected!" What the frak is going on!?" The Officer called out.
Nash was just as confused. Were they planning on saturating the system?
"As Soon as the FTL Drives are synchronized! Get us the frak out of here!"
