If the <span class="mu-i">Galactic Society of Aristocrats</span> likes it hoity toity- then you'll give it to them!
<span class="mu-b">"I am the Supreme Ruler of the Jaxtians, Divine Star-King of Vetuck, Conqueror of the Baalathi, Grand Knight of the Order of the Glorious Hazaar Reconquista. I have crossed galaxies for the mutual honour of making the acquaintance of one of the <span class="mu-i">very</span> few noble souls with whom I hope to find a measure of equality and kinship. I am here... For High Tea.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">”...Entire galaxies? Really?”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”Shh.”</span>
“Checking FTL communications networks. Checking Jaxtian “Hegemony”. Creating timeline of events. Simulating. In the meantime; questions for the <span class="mu-i">Supreme Ruler</span>.”
<span class="mu-b">”Fire away.”</span>
“Were you elected to your position?”
<span class="mu-b">”No.”</span>
“Do you ever perform an honest day's labor to earn your keep?”
<span class="mu-b">”No.”</span>
“Did your family rise to prominence in your generation?”
<span class="mu-b">”What, like the <span class="mu-i">Nueva Riche</span>? Good lord no.”</span>
“These are the answers befitting nobility! So sorry to keep you, your Supreme Rulership! Your species frequencies have been placed on file for easy access next time. Welcome to the Galactic Society of Aristocrats, esteemed guest!”
And with that, the AI beacon emits a signal to put down all security measures and welcome you to their space. Even with a simply flyby of one star system, you can already see an incredible amount of sophistication here.
The GSA has an incredible amount of stellar infrastructure. Every planet and moon has structures, factories, orbital stations. There are large space platforms and huge solar collectors orbiting the sun- they probably don't even need fusion power if they gather it directly from their star! It is clear that the GSA's territories have been inhabited by a space fairing civilization for a very long time; hinting at both their age and level of technological advancement.
“Welcome, welcome! Please come aboard!” The communications comes from a rather gaudy looking Starship. As far as you can tell, it's a little bigger then a crusier, but not quite battleship size. It is very strangely decorated.
<span class="mu-r">”Are those streamers tailing behind the spaceship?!”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”No, wait... those are solar sails, possibly energy collectors as well. But made to look like decoration. The GSA clearly care a lot about pageantry...”</span>
