Attention all friends!
One possibility is: Do not set your default battle orders to "everyone". This is not a good policy when escorting friends.

What was planned to be a Day of Friendship and Mutual trust turned into a mindless gun fighting.
A new bred of Makers warships arrived to Shtirlyugi planets for planned peacekeeping war games and parades. Visits to High Schools, colleges and military academies, meetings with community leaders were included into the agenda of the friendly visits.
All this was to arranged to celebrate the anniversary of creation of Shtirlyugi-Makers alliance and recent joint victorious campaign to set back aggressive expansion of Imperiums. These efforts met with understanding and support at many places around the Universe.
- Shtirlyugi and Makers campaign is a benchmark example for every civilized being, - Maagra Shmink, the former colonel of Shtirlyugi navy, nowadays the president of "Females for agriculture" union, said. - It's been well known, that Imperiums practiced extensive use of nitrates to boost productivity and ignored persistent protests of our union. Allied peacekeeping forces put an end to that practice and our independent expert committee is now seeing great signs of improvement at the planets, liberated by Stirlyugi and Makers.
Former colonel of Shtirlyugi navy was the one, who witnessed the drama from the bridge of "Carrots Freedom" class cruiser, played on the Day of Friendship. When the parade approached to a moment of fireworks, the captain ordered gunnery battle station to launch harmless orbital petards.
"Battle computers blinked, then showed the word "RIBALDO" and...- even with some time passed after the tragedy, Maagra fails to constrain from crying.- batteries of the cruiser fired at friendly range of allied warships, decorated with "greenpeace" signs."
Early results of investigation unveil the conspiracy, ripened at the heart of the Makers navy. It consisted of followers of former admiral Rivaldo, a character of early Makers history, known for his treacherous nature and lack of respect to Makers authority.
Reportedly, only outdated frigates and destroyers were terminated at the accident No more details are available from investigation committee officials.
The week of mourning and grief was declared at all allied words.
Maagra said, she hopes that peaceful advance of allied forces will not be stopped, for the sake of compliance with generally accepted agricultural practice.
