I looked over the news showing the attack on California. They had actually been stopped completely by civs on the beachhead. Pretty insane to me. What surprised me most is that these ships? They were undetectable to my scanners. I wanted them. I wanted to pull them apart and see what makes them tick. I sent a request over to the United State's president. Meanwhile. I focused on the Coalition. China was thriving at this point. All the resources from the conquered nations were flowing towards China. So, the scale tipped. Suddenly I was picking up random nations from Africa into my United Star Front. Almost half of the nations in Africa were now under the umbrella of the United Star Front. There were changes that they had to make of course. Some of these places had legalized slavery and they had to renounce that to become a member. With that my numbers were going and rules were officialized.
"Greetings, Prime Director Gard."
I was startled out of my funk as people walked into the Captain's Area. Looking at the badges on their uniforms I realized, it was the bridge crew. "Captain Larson, welcome to the ship." I replied holding my hand out, he shook it of course. Strong grip. He used to be a farmhand according to the files on him.
"It's good to meet ya sir." He said with a smile.
I grinned back. "Good to see you all as well. You've already met Armistice right?" I got nods in response. "Alright you are taking command of the Highstar for now. I do have some orders to start you off with. I need you to maintain orbit of Earth for now, you can do flight exercises around the moon and planet, but maintain orbit. We could be required to intervene in this conflict at any point. We have to be ready for it." I'm still surprised that the Coalition hadn't attacked anyone under the United Star Front. They must be terrified of the ship in orbit.
"So you are saying… we can take the ship for a joyride?" Their eyes were shining.
I sighed, "I suppose we could use a stress test for it. Yeah, but only after I'm off the ship. I got work I have to do. Yard, collect data from their joyride." I got a affirmative message in return. "Don't crash my first Frigate. Get a hold of things and learn how it works before you do any risky maneuvers."
"Yes Prime Director!"

Wang Long grimaced as he removed another target from the board. Another country joined up with the United Star Front. He glared at an image depicting the western ship in orbit. They couldn't take action against the USF till they had the ability to deal with that. They are half a year in this conflict and have only now started to stall. The Coalition had grown immensely due to this.
"The Emperor tried to break out of his chambers last night." One of his informants reported.
Wang Long's grimace did not go away. He hated this peace loving Emperor of his. They could have had the world in their hands long before this David Gard was born if not for past and current Emperors preferring peace. "Keep him out of the public eye. Double the patrols around his chambers." If he had taken action long ago all of Gard's advancements would have been theirs.
"The Shadowlances proved their effectiveness. Now the Americans know we can get to them!" General Li Quang spoke with pride.
Wang Long slammed his hand against the table. "Your actions revealed the Shadowlances to our enemies! Now they know we've been developing weapons to deal with their informational capabilities, and now. We have to deal with the U.S. actually sending their army to attack us directly!" Li Quang's face paled. "Not to mention it has kicked the U.S. into action. Till now they have been sluggish." Wang Long reached out and grabbed a file, sliding it to General Li Quang. On it were the United State's troop movements and military build up. They had been building up before the war even began, and now their war machine was up and running in full force. "General Li Quang, this was your mistake, so you will fix it. Take your army and prevent the U.S. from getting to Asia."
"Yes, Supreme General!" He bowed and left the room. Wang Long looked at the other Generals in the room.
"We can't afford to spread ourselves out further. Stop expanding and start setting up on our new borders. Prepare defenses."
Another General spoke, "What about Russia? Weren't we supposed to attack and take Russia a month ago."
Wang Long glared. "You want to bring that starship down on us? We cannot provoke the USF till we can get rid of their starship."
He looked at the new map. They had spread far, and the Chinese Empire will grow further still if he had anything to say about it. Except it would be under the Wang Dynasty.
