The Laudeans achieved warp flight uneventfully, without immediate intervention from higher powers or alien beings. Instead, they were afforded a fair bit of solitude for a few months, until around the time the warp phenomenon gained a newsworthy level on Til'ahn. | The Laudeans achieved warp flight uneventfully, without immediate intervention from higher powers or alien beings.

As Starfleet made contact, things were rapidly changing on Til'ahn. The Laudeans were opening their eyes to a new era for their people: one of limitless boundaries. | ||
Starfleet authorized First Contact with the Laudeans, which seemed to go over in a rather lukewarm manner. It quickly became evident that, while warp flight is amazing, the news of an alien civilization is society-shattering. | Starfleet authorized First Contact with the Laudeans, which seemed to go over in a rather lukewarm manner.

The government of Til' | The government of Til'ahn (or, Duronis II, as it is called by Starfleet personnel) made small efforts to receive their new ambassadors in as orderly a way as possible, while civil unrest began to grow. The people believed the monarchy should do more to welcome the new guests, while the monarchy clearly felt threatened by the Federation's presence. | ||
Not long after Federation "First Contact," the Zalkonians also made contact. People of mysterious background, the Zalkonians were beginning to feel cramped on their homeworld, and saw worlds to expand to.

People of mysterious background, the Zalkonians were beginning to feel cramped on their homeworld, and saw worlds to expand to. They were the first to discover that the Laudeans possess a special ability ���?? one that is rare and perhaps even unique: the ability to sense fields of energy, from the distant stars to the tiniest vibrating atoms. Using their considerable charm, the Zalkonians offered the Laudeans protection from the watering-down of their society from members of the Federation. | ||
Within just another week, the Romulans also made contact, notifying both the Zalkonian and Federation personnel that Duronis II actually falls within Romulan boundaries | Within just another week, the Romulans also made contact, notifying both the Zalkonian and Federation personnel that Duronis II actually falls within Romulan boundaries ���?? a dubious claim. Undoubtedly interested in the Laudean energy-sensing ability called "Fielding," they were most concerned with the "cultural and historical importance" of Duronis II to the Romulan people. Making a surprise revelation, they pointed the Laudeans, Zalkonians, and Federation personnel to a long-covered marble monolith in a remote dessert, covered in archaic pseudo-Romulan markings. | ||
Despite these incursions, the Federation did its best to warmly bring the Laudeans into the galactic fellowship. Presenting small milestones in technology and new commercial venues to trade wares, the Federation argued that it had the most to offer the Laudeans. As all three non-Laudean empires put in an effort to garner favor with the people of Til'ahn, the son of the emperor was sent on a tour of [[Earth]] and [[Vulcan]]; an (unsuccessful) attempt to convince the population that the monarchy was accepting of the new aliens. | Despite these incursions, the Federation did its best to warmly bring the Laudeans into the galactic fellowship.

Federation members were outraged, demanding immediate restitution and withdrawal from the volatile situation. The Laudeans were humiliated and infinitely apologetic. Their new world leaders begged the Federation to return and offered a new, lavish embassy for the Federation - complete with a host of security measures. Amidst rampant controversy, the Federation advisors accepted, but stipulated that Starfleet construction engineers must be involved during the entire process. To protect their own interest, both the Romulan and Zalkonians decided to build their own embassies as well. | Federation members were outraged, demanding immediate restitution and withdrawal from the volatile situation.

The Laudeans possess an ability that could be a critical element of future defense for the Federation ���?? allowing the Zalkonians to squander the opportunity, or the Romulans to take advantage of it could mean massive future losses. The Federation leaders are determined to "win" the Laudeans to their side. But what will the ultimate price be? | ||
