((This thread serves mostly as an intro, but the Brilliance may be important later on.))
The Space Station Brilliance in the orbit of Parin IV is one of the best guarded in the entire Sector. It's one of the most important outposts of the Directorate, and base of operations for many missions of the Juris Alliance. No less than ten Paladin Battleships of the Directorate float in the space around it, as well as numerous Warhammer Heavy Carriers just waiting to unleash a flurry of fighters and gunships onto any attacker.
As you close in you see a wave-like motion running over the disc-formed Brilliance - the turrets on it's surface have been pointed at you. One wrong move and your ship would be turned to dust. Your ship is guided into the hangar by simple unarmed drones, and once you have landed a group of heavily armed soldiers awaits you, a flickering around them is giving away their Personal Shields. Yes, security is tight on the Brilliance. For a good reason. It's war out there... again.
The soldiers quickly usher you down several corridors, deeper into the bowels of the station. The brightly lit hangar disappears behind a long curve, and your ship along with it. The windows on the corridor show the all-encompassing darkness of space, both promising and frightening. The soldiers come to a halt before a heavy door. One of them raises his hand and enters a lengthy combination to open it up before not really shoving you inside, but looking like he would do if it you don't move on your own.
The ongoing discussion quickly dies down as you enter a round office. A few chairs stand before a big desk which is apparently made out of wood - strange enough. Behind it sits a man whose looks scream "Directorate General." His gestures, his predicting eyes and trimmed physique all demand respect. To his right stands what you quickly identify as a female Garik, clad in a blue hooded robe, her ocular modules glowing green in the hood's shadow. She seems rather interested in a painting on the wall depicting a sun-filled forest. On the other side stand two Telarin, easily recognized by their tall stature and the silvery Grav Suit. One of them turns his (?) head towards you, but the helmet has no visor that would give away the Telarin's face.
After a moment the General stands up and puts on a fake smile. "Aah! Another crusader for the safety of the Sector!"
