...You must say, Eoba, you really outdid yourself this time. Nobody knew your scheme. You dare say you're as crafty as Maktana. You're as evil as Ingar. You fooled them all.
What was the <span class="mu-i">real</span> reason you appointed Overseers? So that you could slip away on an <span class="mu-i">adventure</span> of course! You may be the Supreme Ruler, so very important and saddled with responsibility, but that doesn't mean you can't have a little fun. This is the time of your life you should be doing this kind of thing- you're still young and spry, and while your anti-aging technology helps, you don't want to be worried about your kids and wives and all that stuff at home while trying to explore the universe...
You take a leave of absence for about a year; enough time to meet the Vetuck-II aliens face to face, do what you need to, and then come back in time for dinner. The observation satellite in orbit around the planet for quite a long time- the AI onboard is more then capable of translating and understanding these aliens now after all this time. You and your people have had a long intention of conquering the Vetuck-II aliens, but only now with your newfound frigates did it become convenient- your weapons and technology has been more then enough to conquer them since the time of Vantix Garastra, much less now. That's not really the concern.
Interestingly, the trip takes a little less then four months- a day or two early. This might be because your frigates have upsized fusion cores compared to your old HDCFVs; but you are approaching the maximum hyperspeed of your current technology until you develop your fusion cores or find new propulsion engines. You come out of suspension around the planet and, taking a workshuttle down to the surface, you wonder how the locals will react!
