First contact was made in the Small Magellan Cloud in 5020. Contact was made with a lightly armed explorer ship.[1] If the information is correct, the Ence rule over the Sculptor Galaxy and are in search for the planet at the center of the Universe. They were not very clear on details. While they are looking they decided to colonize the SMC. The Ence were not very friendly and threatened agression if they decide the Union is ripe for the conquering. Four Battle ships dispatched from SMC -Outpost joined the USS T'Ticknk and the four Ence ships retreated. (Followed by a wing of Spectre Wolfcrafts) The cloaked ships identified a Ence planetary base. The Sculptor Expedition arrived only two month later at the Sculptor Galaxy and were greeted by a large battle fleet, that immideatly opened fire. The Expediton was accompanied by twelve Battle ships and 300 HALD Explorers as well as 4 Lyrharm Frames. The Expediton decimated the Ence fleet. The Ence Fleet retreated. At the same time a single Ence ship arrived at Magellan Survey Base and signaled to be on a diplomatic mission. The Ence diplomats wanted to broker a cease fire and to find out what the Unions intentions were at Sculptor. The Assembly ordered the Sculptor Expedition to go ahead with building a base but cease any survey or expansion moves. A Ence group dispatched by their government is on its way to the Assembly for a fact finding and contact mission. They are expected to arrive in 5038
