You say that.
"
We will be happy to join your cause once official arrangements are made."
You say ta ta and are on your way.
You come back to a gathering of the highest ranking admirals/captains. Something about unveiling a ship or something, that's all you know.

(main command is on board the buffalo)
Command: "Gentlemen, this Kresh threat, as you know, is one of the worst scourges the galaxy has ever seen. The biggest constructs of theirs that we've seen are the royal cruisers, but evidence coming from the Eurelya system indicates that they might have even bigger, deadlier ships. Take a look at this image captured through telescope."

Command: "It has the same color and texture as kresh armor, and is about the size of a small moon."(hurr)
"We are most definitely going to do something about this. In fact, a new ship has just come off the line. The Iconians helped build it, and it uses some of the same designs as their giant dreadnaughts. At 20 kilometers long, behold..."

"...The Apex of Humanity."
"It will be leading us in the attack on the kresh moon ship. It's massive size and firepower will prove useful at fighting off royal cruisers. Engineers estimate it could take over 6 direct hits from a royal cruiser before it's shields drop. It is the pinnacle of all human starship achievements. The Iconians and Kalakarg will also be giving aid in this attack. The Iconians are giving 2 of their heavy dreadnaughts, 2 light dreadnaughts, and 4 battlecruisers. The Kalakarg are giving us 8 of their battlecruisers. The plan of this mission is to find a way inside that thing and hit some soft spots to weaken or maybe destroy it. I'm sending you all the fleet layout now."

"We're the grey guys. The main fleet will be lead by the apex, and will feature the buffalo and 2 Rindr class battleships. The left fleet will be led by captain Horner and feature 3 other ships of his choice. The right fleet will be the same idea, but with Captain Sylas Williams as the leader."
