The retired mercenary said to the impressionable kid.
"No....How"
"Let's see....Ah yes, here we are"
The man takes a strange, old holo-projector out and the message contained within plays.
It started with the coming of the Swarm, harbingers of doom, laying waste to the worlds that the IGMG held. They were heartless, merciless creatures, who destroyed whatever wasn't a part of them. They consumed planet after planet, destroying the planets that they could not live on. There was only one ship in their fleet that could handle such a task: The Galaxy Class Dreadnought. It fired a sickly green laser straight through the planet, as though it were made of feathers. The explosion that came from the splitting of the core ended the planet, turning it into a lifeless asteroid field.
Eventually the ship's scanners discovered the homeworld of the IGMG, sending their entire fleet to take the planet.To their credit, they put up a valiant fight, but in the end, nothing they had could get threw the armor of the Galaxy, and the ship inched closer and closer, preparing it's reactors for what was to come.
As the Galaxy reached the correct distance, the barrel glowed a sickly green color. But as it was about to fire, a ship appeared out of nowhere.
It was a drab, nearly colorless ship. The only color it had were the pale green pieces that jutted out in areas. The Swarm, attempting to demolish the ship, must have been surprised when their planet-destroying beam could not pierce the powerful vessel. Then more began to warp in, and many of them were focused on the Galaxy. It's ablative armor was melting off fast, and it could not turn fast enough to hit the ships. Thus, the Galaxy was destroyed, and it's quickly melting wreck fell, to smash against the planet below.
When the Swarm fleet was dispatched, they contacted our headquarters. They introduced themselves as the Conformative, and then they told us that we were no longer welcome in this universe, and they opened fire, destroying half of our fleet before the commander, minutes later,ordered a full retreat. All of the ships warped out to random vectors, and as i looked out the back porthole of the ship, i watched as the IGMG Starbase fell to the powerful lasers.
We never went back to Sigil, leaving it as a reminder that we were not alone in the universe.
SHIPS
Conformative Runesmasher
The first Conformative ship ever spotted, the Runesmasher carries an atom smasher beam in the front. It is an excellent all-around destroyer/cruiser.
Conformative Nephelim
The Nephelim class is even stronger than the Runesmasher. It carries heavier weaponry and a larger hull that looks like it came from Star Wars if you squint hard enough. No, harder. Harder. YOU'RE NOT SQUINTING HARD ENOUGH!!!!
(the last lines were a joke

Conformative Conversion Mine
The Conformative Conversion Bomb (CCB) is extremely deadly. When it is touched, it detonates in a deadly flash, launching shrapnel everywhere. "What's one tiny mine gonna do to an Archon?" Last words of Commander Xiang.
An Abberron Frigate being completely demolished by a well-placed mine.
1. Defense Station "Minority"
The Minority is a small, though(contrary to it's name) extremely mass produced. It can easily be destroyed by the smallest of fighters.
2. Reclaimer
A deadly ship, the Reclaimer usually follows enemy ships around, bombarding it with it's guns.
3. Impending Abet
The Impending Abet(Literally: Impending Assist) is a craft that has no actual weapons, but was created to repair other craft while defending them from harm. It is also a transport.
4. Warfang
The Warfang is the smallest ship in the Conformative. It's a huge annoyance as well, as it is seen alongside Nephelim-class ships.
Yxonumei
The Yxonumei is a strong cruiser all in it's own. It fires deadly Lucifer nukes, and it's Plasma Rays cut through starship armor easily, eating it away.
Balor
The Balor class destroyer isn't that well armed. You have the basic Ion-Beamers, two Snipe Cannons, an Ion Blaster, and the point defenses. The one thing that seperates the Balor from the rest of the fleet is it's deflectors.
Andromeda Heat-Seeking Anti-Ship Missile.
The Andromeda is a fast anti-ship missile. It is effective against anything that moves slowly enough for it to drill into the hull and explode.
Future Ship:
This ship is me testing the shading, and adding doodads.
Apparently, in this alternative universe, being at the helm of the ship is NOT a good position for a rank advancement.
