EDITED
In the darkness of space, a wink. Then, arriving at horrendous super-light speed, a fleet appears, a fleet in which no two ships are the same. Each ship writhes with life, and they move like a herd of giant, space faring beasts, for beasts they are.
A wave of psychic 'radar' flashes out, and in the brain of every one of these 'ships', and each of their passengers, a vast, shared thought:
Well, what have we here? Fleet upon fleet, all around one planet. This could be interesting indeed...
Another flash of mental radar, and the massive mind makes a decision, focusing into one body, speaking through one mouth, to send a message out to the various capital ships
"Greetings, I am Dest, and I speak for the Collective. Might I ask why you have brought your fleets to this planet?"
