Actions

1. [Military] Raise 1 Unit of Red Fleet Warships - The current Red Fleet was little more than a civilian transport fleet painted red. Chairman Vauo had climbed his way up the Party's ladder in part through service in the Fleet and he had been thoroughly disappointed with what he'd seen while serving. Presidium Station was alight with controversy over his decision to massively increase defense prioritization but none wanted to risk being called out as being against the safety of the Republic in this time of great expansion of the known galaxy. A new fleet of six GLD equipped warships is built in the shipyards over Solidarity with an eager Chairman checking in often on their progress.
   
2. [Military] Raise 1 Unit of Red Fleet Archangels - Agile fightercraft are turned out in bulk by the abuse of the Matter Rearrangers beyond their limited power availability to mass produce parts. Some fighter pilots express unease about the sturdiness of their craft but squadron leaders are consistently only those who accept that each Archangel had it's own quirk a good pilot could learn to embrace. Successful pilots and their craft quickly gain a notoriety for their bird and for themselves, usually in some form of a nickname. Competition among these "Aces" for supremacy in the inky black promotes a culture of daring risk-embracing hotshots among the Archangel Squadrons.
   
3. [Military 5] Introduce Mass Wave Tactical Doctrine (1d3 on size losses) - The SPR was liable to commit to war only when it believed it could devote its entire resources to the task. Every man and woman of able body and service age would be expected to pick up a machine gun, grab a space suit, and march out into the void of space in one form or another to serve the Red Fleet if war came. This culture of military preparedness meant constant drilling for those in service and bi-yearly drills for the populace writ large. While the people of the Teron System were not expert warriors they worked hard to act as a community with service as a soldier playing a large role in that greater sense of kinship.
4. [Diplomacy] Increase Reputation with SoS from 0 to 1 TN: 10 Roll: 13 - While the Sisterhood followed the One in a more religiously devout way than the practice was generally observed within the Terron System their shared beliefs and SPR respect for the Sisterhood's selfless vigil sees the Republic make friendly overtures. It seems their common outlook provided an avenue for collaboration and shortly the SPR diplomats sent to make contact with the Sisters report an improvement of relations between the two entities.
5. [Diplomacy] Attend Gift of the Simulacrum - Important matters related to the One and the future of the northeastern quadrant of the galaxy were discussed in this first meeting of galactic denizens. When it becomes clear the extent of discussions to be had at this grand meeting the Chairman encourages SPR representatives to keep an open line through Guardian's provisioned communications network for further discussions with the SPR's neighbors.

• Vaou has strong support among the Red Fleet which grows only stronger as its ranks grow. Civilian leaders aboard Presidium Station express some concern over this militarization of the Republic which has so long enjoyed wide scale interplanetary peace in the wake of the closure of the Revolution of Ashes. Still, fear over hostile aliens as well as a desire to provide assistance to friendly alien cultures prove powerful arguments even among those who had not nor intended to serve.
• Vaou has promised a five year plan that will see the resolution of the SPR's current energy crisis. Relations with nearby stellar powers are growing stronger and directives have quietly come down to scientists and engineers to begin work to develop methane-fueled engines leading many to speculate the Chairman intended to grow economic ties with the Rocthurhi in the upcoming years.
• Science fiction stories have exploded in popularity in the wake of the the Doorway Incident and growing numbers of communications between senior SPR officials and leadership from distant star systems never before seen by Terron natives. The growing closeness between the inhuman Rocthurhi and Tezh and the SPR's own government has fostered a xenophilic subculture glorifying the physical and psychological differences from humanity not precluding unity within official propaganda.
• Upon returning from the Simulacrum the Chairman takes another tour of the Red Fleet construction yards and holds a formal announcement regarding the up until now "Task Force One's" name. In honor of the Droccen siblings of the One and their Simulacrum representative the fleet shall henceforth be officially designated the "Princess Task Force" and Vaou's personal flagship is christened The Sai. Some rank and file soldiers bemoan such a soft sounding name while others object on the grounds of royal titles thrown around for Republic vessels but the majority don't much care and some embrace the unique name wholeheartedly adding crown-style insignia to their uniforms and vessels and accenting their red paint jobs with flourishes of pink said to match the skin tone of the Drocc.
