Great news! Today we found an almost perfect planet. With just some minor terraforming this world will be pristine. A perfect place for his eminence holiday get away.
Update; some minor species seems to live on it. As per protocol we have offered a relocation of a large number, perfectively viable for repopulating, to another system. They did not see, as us, that this was fine and proper. Also discussion about precisely how they would survive after the relocation came to a halt after the answer of "You will figure it out!" did not go over well. Its a wonder they have come even this far, no tact.
Very well, they seems the have wholesale rejected this excellent approach. So as per protocol we will proceed to plan B. Asteroid bombardment, a simple and elegant solution. No waste of ammunition and total destruction of primitive species. Unfortunately this will cause a minor setback to the timeline for terraforming of the planet.
Update; minor setback, request reinforcement from backup fleet. We need precision bombardment to neutralize, previously presumed destroyed, military installations. Species had prepared for some decades to a nuclear strike which enabled them to survive the immediate impacts. They had also prepared retaliatory means of several thousands of nukes. Surely a sign of deranged paranoia.
When the fleet entered close orbit to begin the terraforming process. These previously unknown nukes where launched. Overwhelming in number and at that close range the defensive measures where not successful. The fleet was almost completely destroyed, save for a few support ships.
The terraforming is delayed until backup arrives. However should be completed within an acceptable time frame, presuming the backup fleet can be provided.
Update; backup fleet has arrived and precision bombardment has been successful. Several full scans of the planet, as well as limited landing parties, have been able to confirm no further military assets on land or sea. As an extra safety precaution we have also poisoned the air, anything not completely isolated have by now been destroyed. Requests permission to move in the backup fleet to begin the terraforming process. There can be no further threat to it after this.
WHO THE FUCK BUILDS SHIPS THAT CAN STAY HUNDREDS OF METERS UNDERWATER FOR MONTHS! FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH NUCLEAR ROCKETS!!!
Automatic control assumed; As per protocol the remnants of the fleet will retreat and this project is aborted until further notice. Estimations for a new fleet incursion in 1000 years.
