They Never Saw Us Coming...
Whats Up! New Alien race!, Dragon-Raptor people! Military dictatorship with a sprinkle of democracy

anyway story breakdown:
The Compact fleet entered via standard warp translation without prior awareness of Velkairen territorial presence, resulting in immediate detection by Velkairen long-range systems. Within seconds of system entry, Velkairen deep-space arrays identified the newcomers as originating from the same unknown civilization responsible for two prior historical encounters: the drifting interstellar probe designated Voyager 1 and a partially functional Human orbital weapons platform dated to early 21st-century development. The correlation triggered automatic escalation protocols within the Velkairen Military Republic. Upon detection, Velkairen sensor networks initiated full-spectrum identity matching against archived extraterrestrial signatures. The presence of Human-origin technology—previously classified as “Dormant Extrastellar Civilization — Potentially Hazardous”—immediately elevated threat classification.
