"My Chief Engineer gave me the report of our artificially produced Jump Crystal was cracked while while we were in Jumpspace, potentially being the reason for why we are here. Also, may I ask what a Drakari is? I've heard some scattered communiques about a first contact event with Ryccia."
Edward looked around at the hexagonal hallways and pondered why they were shaped as such, and then realized something. Stoinia, that name, its an old Pacifican Nation, but this Stoinia didn't sound like the vast historical data of Stoinia, it being one of very few old Pacifican nations that have a vast amount of data concerning culture and history.
"May I, again, ask, where did your Star Nation come from? You called me a Terran, but Emeraldians refer to our species as Pacifican, named after our old homeworld, Pacifica, so what is a Terran?"

Király rolled his eye when he heard about another jump drive. Whatever experimental FTL methods these star nations were trying to get working, they clearly should have tested them better.
- "I'll show you our data on the current civilizations we're aware of in this Sector. We're not far from the meeting room, we have a full display system there."
Király then listened carefully to Captain Edward's question and was more confused than before. He raised an eyebrow, looking quite inquisitively.
- "Pacifica?" He asked with a slight sneer. "I think your history records must have been tampered with. All Terrans or humans come from Terra or as the Ryccians call it Earth. If I recall correctly Pacifica was a mere ocean on Terra our ancestral homerworld. We left to the stars to preserve Mankind and have upheld our Terran legacy ever since."
The military entourage then arrived in the meeting room with Király taking a seat at the head of the table.
- "Please Captain Edwards, take a seat."

Edward sat down, his face invoking very clear confusion.
"Terra? No, Our History records couldn't have been tampered with."
One of the Emeraldian diplomats take out a holopad. Edward pushes a button that shows a hologram of Pacifica.
"That is Pacifica, and my people came from there."
He points to the South Pacific Region. He pushes another button that highlights the political boundaries of Emerald, Spiras, Denver, and New Colradia.
"But the name of your Star Nation is what intrigue's me the most."
Another button push highlights Stoinia, while also showing details and facts, including the Flag, CoA, Leader, Brief History, and Connection to the Denvari Nations.
"That is the Kingdom Of Stoinia or Regatul Stoiniei in Tarnian. Sometime during Antiquity on Pacifica, the land that would become Spiras was colonized by the Proto-Stoinians, the Tolosan Republic. Later, Stoinia would become one of the Denvari Nations closest ally. That is the Stoinia I know, hell, my great-great-great grandfather was a Stoinian. Does this match your history records?"
He shuts off the holo-projection.
"Now, weren't you gonna show us the civilizations you know of?"

Király was a bit surprised to see the widespread accessibility of holograms in the Emerladian Navy. Sure the technology was new to the Stoinians, but the Rosirrem was not a list of high priority ships to have been retrofitted with the technology. Király himself wasn't convinced on the touchless nature of such technology. Nonetheless Király was perplexed at this seemingly fake history.
- "That doesn't match our history at all. We Stoinians haven't earned the name in antiquity, but by being reforged in the War at Home against the Mardakii. This Kingdom of Stoinia only exists for roughly 330 years ago on the planet Stoinia. However, we aren't professors of history. I'm sure ours will be thrilled to have a new party to debate against the Ryccians."
Király then activated the viewscreen on the table, showing the map with all known space-faring civilizations.
- "To the north we have the Drakari Celestial Imperium. They are the oldest modern civilization we know of, driven by the Great Stewardship, holding all life as sacred. Bordering them we have the Ryccian Empire. Another Terran dominant star nation. In the middle we have a scattered smaller nations within the Tiyanki Territories and their lawlessness is bordered by another such region we call the Badlands. To their south we have our Treecuu allies and ourselves. Though we know of one space faring civilization as well known as the Zelvan Regime which views slavery as their divine right. Quite a bunch we have here. Do you have any idea where exactly you might be located?"
The map of course was relatively vague with the Stoinian & Treecuu sections only showing their borders and not even their capital. One could never be too cautious with a new civilization. Even if they appeared to be Terrans. It was to be seen whether these "Pacificans" were to be considered as such.

"That is quite the bunch indeed, hmm..."
Edward scanned over the map, until he found a similar shape with the Drakari's western border.
"There! That's where Emerald is located!"
Edward points at the area west of the Drakari. He push a button on the holopad that shows the Borders of the Union.
"Its a perfect match, look, the eastern border of Emerald perfectly lines up with the western border of the Drakari"
Edward took notice of Kiralys odd expression after he partially discussed Pacificas Stoinias history.
"You seem like you don't think Emeralds History Records are legit, If we need to prove it to you, our historians can work together to see if our histories are aligned or Stoinias Terrans are actually from a different planet. Now, can we talk about what exactly these Venterrans are? You always brush them aside when I mention them."
