A Dangerous Matter
Apollo looked in shock at his viewscreen. The self proclaimed Emperor Antediluvian of the had declared Apollo, Rambo Nation, the Cognatus and all their followers as enemies of the Galaxy. It was now only a matter of time before he was found and arrested for his supposed crimes. Apollo walked up to the window of his office, shaking with a mix of anger and fear. The United Republic of Cyrannus had fallen and a new imperial regime had taken its place. He now knew what he had to do. It was his job to fight for the liberty of Cyrannus and that is what he planned to do. However, he needed somewhere to think about how he could achieve this. Suddenly, and  Imperial Soldiers burst through the window and surrounded Apollo and his family, Gianne, Kara, Laoi and his father, Cretacea. Cretacea raised his weapons, but to his shock, a bright light illumated the room, as a graceful appeared casting a ball of light against Apollo's would be apprehenders, throwing them out the window. The Miluiel told Cretacea, Gianne and Apollo that Senator Naberrie was waiting for them aboard a Cognatus Cruiser, the Placidi Itinere in orbit and awaits their arrival. Outside the window, a Cognatus shuttle appeared and Apollo and his family jumped in and sped toward orbit. The Placidi Itinere however had other, visitors. To Apollo's shock, both a Basileus Cruiser and a Venator-class Star Destroyer were both engaged in a dogfight with the Placidi Itinere suffering heavy damage. Despite this, the company managed to board the cruiser, which jumped into hyperspace toward a secretive rendezvous point...

A Warning from Rambo Nation
Within an hour after the declaration of the Empire, Rambo Nation had send the Angforst to blocakde the trade route leading into the Cyrannus Galaxy, effectifly taking control of the Quadrantia-Cyrannus wormhole at the Quadrant side. The USS Ford and the USS Androcus aided the Angforst in the first preperations and destroyed an unwilling URC/Empire venator star destroyer who wished to retun to the Cyrannus Galaxy. Nearby the Venator class star destroyer Senator was boarded by Rambo Nation under claim of inspections. The thruth was differant as a Space Marine Squad Commander by the name of Shooter boarded the ship and arrested the Tezeltean female captian. As such Rambo Nation began her initial defense, with these acts it warned the newly formed Empire the Rambo were serious and had no intentions of allowing the Empire the same privileges as the URC had. At the same time Rambo Nation began sending Caradhras Class carreers to the Cyrannus Galaxy, filled onboard with regiments of Rambo Troopers (including the experienced 287th and the 425th) to reinforce the Rambo Cyrannus Colonies and defend them from a possible attack. Further more Rambo Nation began changing their defense structure, fleets were moved to the various wormhole locations (Quadrantia-Cyrannus Worhole, Quadrantia-Mirus Wormhole, Wormhole Plataue and the Q82-Q89 worhole). Even more surprising the people of Rambo Nation reacted with shock, though with promises of the senate, the Empress and the militairy leaders on the holo channels, the people didn't panicked. Though on some colonies and settlements discrimination against URC/Empire citizens began, and Rambo Command adviced all URC/Empire citizens to migrate back to the Cyrannus Galaxy, as they would be unable to ensure their protection.
