Your shuttle breaks through the atmosphere of Vetuck-II, an alien world. Well studied but totally foreign to your world; its atmosphere is nontoxic to Jaaxtians and free from pollutants, given the primitive nature of these people's lifestyles and slow or stagnant development.
You fly over the feudal landscape, appearing as little more then a dot in the sky, if any of them can even see you. These people live in tiny kingdoms; each one so insignificant in comparison to an interstellar empire. As your histories indicate, these people have regressed a bit from the days of the grain empire- though their population has expanded and they live on multiple landmasses now. Their technology has not yet developed gunpowder or germ theory. This single ship could probably defeat the entire planet at one tenth power- their most advanced weapon is probably a high strength crossbow, whose bolt could never penetrate this craft's defenses.
You decide on where to make your appearance. Nearby the largest cathedral and castle on the northern continent; you could make your demands known to the largest kingdom in this region. Of course, this species is not unified nor globespanning, so there will be no “take me to your leader”... instead, a mythologized introduction may prove useful.
Coming down from the sky, your shuttle floats down above the ground to the shrieks of terrified serfs and tradesmen going about their day. Some shout and run, most simple stand in stunned silence. You open the door of the shuttle and decide to put on a <span class="mu-i">little show</span>.
Floating down from the sky like an angel, you have a drone cast a heavenly light on you- thankfully, it can also act as an instant translator for dealing with the strange alien tongue these aliens possess. As you come down, your robe fluttering in the wind, many townspeople fall to their knees and instantly prostate themselves in submission- a religious cry of fear and awe goes through them. Near the ground, one raises his head, tears streaming down his face.
