Right... so let me get the situation straight in my head - at present the Bismarck and Valhalla are both badly damaged, with Valhalla the worst-off of the two. Valhalla has surrendered and initially refused aid from the Bismarck, but the captain overruled that and the shuttles are now able to dock.
The Valhalla's executive officer (Or former XO) has gone to avenge the deaths of his family on Calypso with a sword duel with Field Marshall Ascrith.
And Captain Robbins reacted quite badly to Nariel threatening war in order to try and force a peace settlement between the Coalition and HRA, in accodance with what she believes to be her duty to prevent a possibly large-scale interstellar war amongst the 'younger races' from her point of view. Robbins then attempts to kill Nariel and his men open fire on the marines guarding them. also ordering the Bismarck's supercomputer to sabotage the Hand's communications and destroy their AI, Aelya.
Robbins' initial attack on Naril fails thanks to a personal shield she had hidden on her, and she goes to attack him using an ancient Terelain martial art, her husband also moves to assist as the bridge crew activate the bridge's defensive measures an signal the marine contingent abaord the ship. The marines send men to te bridge to secure it whilst the rest of them go to the hangar bay to take out the Death Korps. Aelya initiates defensive measures against the Bismarck's cyberattack and simultaneously retaliates. The fighter escort protecting the Hand open fire on the fighters the Bismarch had dispatched to defend them and Robbins. Captain Tolarim warns the Bismarck that this attack constitutes an act of war against the Terelain race.
Is that about the gist of it?

Only the shuttle with Captain Braesk is allowed.
And that seems to be the jist.
To which Ill update the opening post summary with that. Just shorter lol
Just wanted a note here - the summary states that Robbins assasinated Nariel, when in fact he attempted to assasinate her, but she was wearing a personal shield generator, which she had put on in preparation for meeting him alone with her husband, and she survived and retaliated.
So she wasn't assassinated - Elder Nariel Amaar is stll alive.

He still has other guns, you know. And a much better surprise for them.
Oh, By the way, the API has a backup AI with an always changing encryption on it. It's like solving a 5x5 4D rubics cube that fights back.

Well, lets say its all complete, right? That means, good! It's brand new!
Now, you move a piece, it switches around four more. Good luck solving that.

Aelya's pretty damned complicated herself. I mean, she was originally a warship's AI, so her programming is designed to protect her against cyberattacks, from a race of equal technological advancement as the Terelains, and she's been self-improving on that for twelve thousand years, give or take a couple of centuries. Bear in mind she came online somwhere around 13,600 BCE and has spent most of this time tinkerng with her own programming. It's safe to say that she's one of the most complicated pieces of technology aboard the Hand.
But your "AI"s will never be never beat the charm and awesomeness of Liala-Valhalla ;P
It is very safe to say that our computers are probably the strongest computers in the system, no? I mean, my computer takes the coding and information, and assimilates computers that it hacks, so its like the computer version of Borg. 
Aw hell no, your AI is sexier than ours!

Probably not. As a former war-AI assigned to the Flagship of the Grand fleet of the Kingdom, Aelyaisn't the most cuddly virtual lifeform. She can laugh, joke, be friendly, even warm.... but she's also participated in genocide, and even though that was thousands of years ago, it still leaves after-effects.
Quite a number of War-AIs from the Second Great War period who were de-militarised and put to civilian use eventually committed suicide or went insane because they were given emotions like compassion and empathy, and quite a few of them found the guilt and shame they discovered when looking back at their military careers quite crushing.
Aelya never went insane,instead she accepted the genocide of the Gillorians as nesecarry for the continued peace and preservation of the Terelain species, given the fact that the Terelains and Gillorians had gone to war numerous times over history and each one was more terrible and destructive than the last...
This means she wouldn't bat a virtual eyelash if she had to set the Bismarck to crash into a star at FTL speeds, for example, or vent the entire crew into space. Not that she will, she probably can't. But if she had to, she would. She can be very cold-blooded if she ahs to be.

I meant in the system they're currently in.
But I know what you mean. It's like PTSD, no?

Well the fun part about Liala, is that she grew up the entire time thinking she was human. I mean everything indicated she was human, scans, psych exams you name it. It was only her unnatural skill at navigation and computer integration that brought up suspicion.
By now, it was only just recent, like a year for the Val crew did Liala learn that she was a Navdroid (Navigational Android) and the only real successful one at that. She was to be shipped of to C.A.I.N (Coalition Intelligence) but yeah things didn't happen that way, but she's still learning to get to grips with the ship. Who by the way, when they merge, she sorta comes "alive." Weird stuff.
And I know what you mean Terel, Liala has a slight similar working. After her fight with a cybernetically insane super AI, and forced to do a few things herself, she'll do what has to be done to protect the Valhalla.
Though it almost never happens that way. Shes a trickster, she slither her way out and with a laugh lol

Yep. After the first couple of cases, the Terelain military decided to alter or remove the memories of military AIs they were re-purposing for civilian life. Or at least remove/alter the most potentially traumatic memories.
Aelya did not recive this memory alteration, but she's always been very strong-willed so she managed to cope. There was one memorable battle where she led a contingent of medium battlecruisers to destroy a vital enemy supply depot, sh trashed it, dropped a couple of sattelites from orbit onto the enemy installations on the moon below and then, just for good measure, they blew up a heavily damaged Gillorian Titan Battleship that had jumped in-system for repair and resupply.
The mission resulted in her promotion to commanding AI of the Flagship of the Fleet, along with two other AIs who also served aboard it. She's rather proud of that particular incident.

Did those White Flag fighters get blown up then? Why they thought the Geneva Convention wouldprotect them, I don't know. As far as I'm aware, the Terelain Star Kingdom doesn't even know Geneva exists. Besides, they assume that since they're HRA craft they'll attempt to attack the Hand. I'm sure they'll be properly upset later on when they find out they killed innocent men, but they weren't to know that.
After all, in their nation no Terelain pilot worth anything would sit idle whilst someone of his own species was threatened. Sitting back and watching the battle ply out would be an utterly alien idea to them.

Yup! Those ships got blown up, and the Death Korps moved out of the bay doors!
I know they'e good... but will they be able to handle 200 plus highly trained Terelain marines charging them? I mean, these guys have spent at the very least a full century in training, including strategy, tactics, armed and unarmed combat with virtually every weapon under the sun... and this lot are drafted from the top tier of the ones who made it through one of the most extensive military training programs in the known galaxy.
Jeez! Things are just highly emotional all over the place >.<
Terelian military doctrine: "If you can't shoot 'em, space 'em"

They've been training for hundreds of years, friend.
