Thanks for calling my attention to it.
The horned cats had already let one ship land under refugee status, but they didn't have "budget clearance" to open a hangar that could take two ships. Apparently having rooms at faction HQ comes with ability to use hangars, so it was no problem for me to open one once I became aware of it.
I sensed a ship but wasn't able to interact with it at first. Then I realized the horned cats had let the crew of the first ship in, the second ship was waiting in the bay outside. We're talking about astral as in "other physical dimension" here, maybe parallel dimension is better, but it's all "astral" to us.
They were seeking refuge after their planet had been invaded, but didn't know who to contact to be allowed to land. Our physical is visible to them over there, so I guess they went for the person who was easiest to reach. After further interactions, it appears not all areas of space out there are very advanced. The "fishpeople" have decent ships but they still function according to "conventional" technology, using physical structures made from harvested material and fuel. The invading force at their planet was lower technology than them, but more in numbers, they were using spacecrafts similar to our jets, pilots would eject with parachutes if hit. Maybe we've just become used to high tech races.
Lyrans think everyone is outdated and use manifestation, energy shields, nanobots and teleportation. Greys fear the nomor(skinwalkers) and look down on reptilians for still having fax machines and paper documents, but reptilians still use manifestation, they just choose that form. At the same time there seems to be a lot who use things which are just barely more advanced than what we have here right now on earth. I taught a small group of fish people to use the remote and the basic saucers I had created earlier, and these were enough for them to retake their planet (but they said timelines don't appear at the same speed so it took way longer "over there" than the one day here).
Having slightly better low-tech was a good thing here, it was explained to me that inserting too high tech would possible crash the timelines with unclear effects, so it would not be possible to enter with things like what the lyrans have, openly.
