Core Patrol Corps

Spoiler

Show

[Diplomacy] Offer rewards for anyone who investigates "Source Knight Eleven" and it's secrets - The Core Patrol is tasked with fighting the Same, not getting along with them. They are suspicious of this "Source Knight Eleven" and it's abject deviation from regular matters, and have even heard that it is keeping secrets from those that live under it's dictatorship. This cannot stand! However... the Core Patrol sees that "Eleven" is not actively destroying or consuming resources to make drones and copies of itself. Evidence is required, just in case this is the sign of a Same actually evolving beyond the original programming...
(Request: Anyone who successfully investigates Source Knight Eleven's secret action(s) in the next two rounds; Reward: +1 Favor. Expiration Date: Start of Round 21)

The Church of Iteus, whatever round it is
Pontiff Provis (MIA)

Actions

1. [Philosophy] (P10) Faced with the uncertainty of the future, Altea has opted to overload the local Light Additive network, causing a rapid deterioration of the Itean system's star. Within a week, the star, and everything within a massive radius, is gone. Any remaining Star League or FCO ships have ample time to escape the blast radius, but the same cannot be said for the planet. (Itean System becomes an empty region. All ITS fragments go missing)

News and Rumors

• Maybe the Church has some remnants scattered throughout the galaxy, but for all intents and purposes any form of central authority has collapsed. The Pontiff remains missing, likely dead. Iteus is no more, and it will remain a mystery where the strange creature came from. No contact was ever made with Altea, but following the explosion for the first time in years ships passing through the region feel at peace.
• As for the remaining fragments, perhaps some managed to be smuggled offworld before the cataclysm. Perhaps they've survived whatever fate befell the Itean System and drift aimlessly through the cold dark of space.

Mier Formica
Sectors: H8, H10, H12, I7, I9(C), I11, J8, J10, J12, K9, L8, M9, N8

Empress Aptinoma had fulfilled her prophecy and guided the MIer Formica Empire to the Same. It was at the time of this realisation a message was delivered to the galaxy that “The So Called ‘Powerful’ Cannot Remain In Power” and she knew that no queen rules forever. It was time to follow in the footsteps of Tapinoma and create a new Empress.

A message was send out to the Djinye National Front to request aid with the ritual once more and Ambassador Tisha was dispatched. When the representative arrived into the borrow of Empress Aptinoma a new fertilised egg was nearly ready to hatch and under normal circumstances only the Empress herself would be present for the hatching. This time however Ambassador Tisha was invited to stay as their nation had been a close ally to the Mier Formica since the very beginning.

While the new Empress emerges from her egg the ritual dice are prepared and the chanting begins. Behind closed doors Casaleia Mier is born and with the same colours as her mother is confirmed to be divine in the ritual performed. Where her mother had a eye birthmark on her forehead Casaleia has a sword and shield combined with the rituals outcome this implied that Casaleia was destined to protect something or someone, who this might be remains to be seen.

Round Nineteen... Loading...
The below happens between Galactic Dates 217534.0.0.81 - 2175036.0.0.80
Don’t forget to link to any rolls you make for ANY Attribute checks, plus rolls for rulers you will start using at the start of the next round. If you want a new ruler in the next round, you must state so in your action post for this round and link to their rolls. Any increases from actions for this round are counted for the ruler you start your next round with (because it’s handier to account for by the co-GM), which may or may not be your current ruler.
Good luck!

Rules Alerts and Changes!

• Having 12 regions without being a Great Power still means you must spend a Diplomacy 10 action to reach Great Power status before using another Diplomacy 10 action to reach Empire status.
• As a general reminder, attacking multiple ‘undefended’ regions at once (from a former player) in a single turn may result in at least one of those regions suddenly having a defensive force. A slow conquest, over several turns, is acceptable. A massive push for many regions in a single turn will have a reaction from the GM Team. Continual pushes of 2 regions, round after round, may also result in a reaction of forces being developed in nearby regions...
• Please remember to submit your regions for review. Unwritten regions make it difficult for other players to interact with your newly acquired regions; ideologies, histories, resources, etc are all important to seeing if the region is something interesting to others. Bonus: You make the Head GM do work son with every write-up you submit! No, he’s only slightly bitter, and not at all afraid of everyone who still has to submit stuff doing so this round, because he thinks you are all cowards who can’t step up. (Written with love)

Growth!
The Vilari Star League reaches new heights, in part thanks to the Droccen Empire formally joining the Star League Charter!
(D10 used; the Vilari Star League becomes a Galactic Empire! VSL can now use a seventh action per round! DCC joins the Star League!)

In a stunning round of diplomatic acts, the Ninturine Empire expands it’s borders through nonviolence, gaining many new regions coming under it’s gracious protection. It seems these are all the result of many years of planning and forethought from Emperor Durgadoresh and the Ninturine court. Though they won’t say so, this probably upsets the plans that the Veritus had for region T26...

(CWZ definitely does not reform their agencies. You are not, in fact, distracted by investigating a rock making a noise in the bushes while CWZ spends a non-action during Round 19 to establish the bonus of the Reformed Agencies. That did not, actually, reform. Hey look! Clouds!)

Though there are some protests from some CWZ merchants, the Knights Vacio are the more elegant merchant team and successfully purchase the Ordivician Alloy from the Corrupted Iteus followers in Q15.
(KNV successfully buys out Q15 TP1 [Ordivician Alloy])

The Ninturines are successful at purchasing the Slime Monsters they wanted, and even made a friend with one of the breeders, a Motherhen Tie-oh-no. Mother Tie is a Keeper of Beasts, and is reasonably certain she can improve the Slime Monsters if only given the chance. The local government, however, is mildly terrified of Mother Tie’s abilities and worries that the Slime Monsters might get out of control, going on a rampage and grabbing people everywhere, if advanced further...
(NIN successfully buys out O1, TP1 [Slime Monsters]; {CHOICE} NIN may spend an [Economy] Action to reduce the number of Trade Posts in O1 from Great to Good, and give permission to Motherhen Tie-oh-no to try and evolve the Slime Monsters -- but the region enters Unrest -- (OR) NIN may spend a [Diplomacy] Action to placate both the local government and Mother Tie, gaining control of O1 TP2 in the process)

(LTE successfully buys out L18, TP1 & TP2 [The Crystalline Worlds])
(LTE successfully buys out L24, TP1 [Jax Pills])
(LTE successfully buys out M23, TP2 [Glazed Diamonds])

There is much arguing in the Lyraen Technocratic Empire over the Dilithium purchases. Though Lyraen merchants want to remain loyal to the Empire, and are offering a fair price, it is not higher than what the Guild merchants offer. The Lyraens cannot get the authority to spend more at this time, so the Guild-Empire of Nyx is able to outbid them.
(NYX successfully buys out M25, TP1 [Dilithium])

(E5 attempted to be used; NIN tries to increase the number of Trade Posts in W23 above Great, but is unsuccessful. W23 already has the maximum number of Trade Posts. NIN may either use their E5 again this Leader on a different target region, or they may use a non-action during Round 19 to acquire the open W23 TP#3 without rolling; though this expends the E5.)

Terror!
The Iteus solar system, in the wake of whatever Altea does to it, is quite strange. First, and foremost, the entire star goes absolutely dark. Heat still emanates from it, but light is nonexistent. Nothing is detectable on any visible spectrum, and everyone who stays within the not light continues to feel unnerved. Spooked. Like the whole system is somehow… haunted. Of course, it doesn’t help that the entire planet of Iteus disappeared for exactly one Galactic Week. Everyone who was still on the planet at the time is just… gone. Scientists are stumped by the phenomenon, and do not have any way to explain it. Reaching out to the Caller AI Conveyance only results with a response from Efficiency Ground stating that the AI received the message, and apparently has not stopped playing looping sounds of laughter; Wrath himself does admit that the monitoring equipment on the Caller AI did not pick up any expenditure of energy or power during the time of the disappearance, so he will continue to try and get Conveyance to actually respond to the inquiry. A week later, he comes through, but apologizes that the Caller AI finally calmed down enough to admit it wasn’t the cause and the overall response was that it found the whole thing inexplicable but “Neat.”
(ITS disappears! Their region becomes an Empty Sector! FCO has a claim on the region, and may start building a station! The region is in Unrest, as no one wants to be there anymore; it feels spooky and disturbing! The fragments, Strict Obedience and the Library of Truth, both go missing, but may be able to be found with a Great Success Investigation or an I5. If two Stellar Powers target the same Fragment with an I5 in the same round it will result in an Intrigue roll-off.)

No massive message goes out to the entire galaxy this time. Still, there are rumors that the leaders of NIN, LTE, TZH, and DNM all receive an ominous message warning them, once again, to step down and let new powers take control… “The So Called ‘Powerful’ Cannot Remain in Power.”
(An unusual message arrives to some Stellar Powers, from an as of yet unknown source. Data from the message indicates that those who have a Leader with more than one 10 in their stats have till the end of round 19 to change Leaders… Or stop whomever sent the message. It’s also not clear if this is a one time thing, or if there will be random checks… Be so warned!)
GM Note: Players who have only recently reached (2) or more 10s in stats are, for the moment, ‘safe’, for a given value of ‘safe’.

Though it comes with quite a bit of upset Guild-merchants, the Lyraen region of M23 finds it’s Glazed Diamonds purchased by a quiet investor that does not, at this time, wish to have their name known...
(NYX loses M23 TP1 [Glazed Diamonds] to an unknown buyer...)

A breach in security occurs in the Umbral Ordensstaat! It seems someone is trying to answer the Core Patrol’s call to prove that Eleven is suspicious, but the defenses of the sole Same Source Knight rebuff the attempt and whatever sneak thieves tried to get in appear to have not gotten any information as they all left before their identities could be determined...
(UOS detects someone snooping around Source Knight Eleven’s secrets, but is unable to determine who...)

The Sunbream Confederacy suffers an internal conflict, and now all the regions seem to have separated! Their capital region maintains majority control of their forces, gaining (2) Sunbream Defenders, while M27 and L28 each gain (1) unit of Dissenting Defenders! K27 feels safe with the CmC Relay in their region, and has no need for military units at this time. These regions may be claimed or conquered.
(SUN is no longer a Stellar Power...)

Rumors…

ETL seems to be passing along technological advancements to curry favor with someone…

TZH is trying very hard to be sneaky about making polite overtures to establish a claim in a region to the south…

Certain members of certain diplomatic ambassadorial endeavors - who are certainly not spies - note that KRO’s military is more superior than what’s officially on the books…

The rumor is that SYN is doing some mysterious research, and they seem to be getting help from outside their Stellar borders...

The Dragon Lord has stood long against the influence of the outside, even repelling the Kronin once before. This time, however, the Kronin have not underestimated their enemy nor sent an inexperienced commander to take the sector. Their attack strikes with the speed and power of lightning, and the children of Kroznar wipe out half of their enemy's strength in the first day. By the end of the second, the Dragon Lord has been cornered, and though he makes one valiant last stand, he is ultimately slain with minimal casualties. As good an end as one who opposes the Kronin could hope for.
(KRO successfully invades C15! C15 is in Unrest!)

The Droccen Imperium and the Core Patrol's assault against the Same Core V0.18 initially goes well. Their capital ships' hulls are able to hold against the Same, but this strength and immovable defense does not last forever. At the climax of the battle, the Same ships begin exploding, taking their enemies' crafts with them. In a desperate gamble to save as much of his fleet as possible General Sukero makes the decision to personally attack the enemy's command ship, taking his personal guard with him. After about two hours, the Same ships all deactivated as one.

His guards are eventually found dead. Sukero himself has died separated from her guard but remains standing, with a serene smile on his face. It's unclear how he was able to contain the Same explosion, but the sacrifice is certain.

Discovery!
Records indicate that Arbiter was last seen somewhere in the Galactic Northeast; however, with two Revolutions (and whatever else Conveyance may have done between now and then) it’s tough to say if that’s the best place to start. Grymlan investigators do their best, though. They come across a solar system in the Erebus Nebula (X4) that the former Republic of Celes didn’t utilize; it seems wholly absent of life, and the only thing of note is a rather large asteroid belt. The Grymlans, being experts at explosions, are able to piece together that this asteroid belt was once multiple planets and something caused them to no longer be planets. To quote the chief engineer of the investigators, “Big-huge very-big blast-boom.”
(OwO investigates the whereabouts of the Caller AI, Arbiter, and suspects that they have found where it was at one time. Region X4, the Erebus Nebula. However, with entire regions having been moved during the Revolution, the Grymlans may have just gotten lucky...)

Etherite investigators, heady after their success at locating what is probably Finder - even if many point out that they actually didn’t locate it, they just made it locate the Eterites - are once again looking for a Caller AI. Broadcasting to all that they are seeking Archive, they scour the Caller Database for what limited information they can, in order to find their target. Instead they find… nothing. Well, not nothing nothing. More like evidence of something once being there, and now not. Blanks in information. Blocked access. And no indication of a last known location. It’s like the very resource they have been using to help locate the other Caller AI is now fighting them.
(ETL investigates the whereabouts of the Caller AI, Archive, and finds themselves stymied; not unsuccessful, but blocked at every turn before they can even begin. Something is preventing them from finding more.)

(WKA investigates Source Knight Eleven, and finds out that yes, in fact, the SAME AI does - in fact - wish to be one with the Source, and it seems does not have an ulterior motive beyond that.)

Kronin explorers have reached the once prominent Kryptid Space to see the results of the civil war. Unfortunately planet Kotat appears to be covered by a thick envelope of sulfurous and ashen clouds. This appears to have plunged the planet into an incredibly sudden deep ice age eliminating roughly 70% of the planet's biomass, since the last contact points. The Kryptids are by all measures an endangered species scattered among the stars.
(KRO explores C17 and finds the remains of the Kryptids and their Great resource of [Hasson 3], barely protected by a group of [1x] In-Fighting Fighters. The LC follows the Way of Tides.)

In their travels Duenem explorers have come across a string of asteroids seemingly bound together by a titanic root system. The inhabitants of the world root have set up a plethora of broadcasting stations in an attempt to serve as a nexus of galactic travellers.
(DNM explores Q23 and finds an OPEN LC, a Good amount of [Broadcasting Rigs], and 2 units of Root Baers.)

Duenem explorers have come across the mad planet of Ivor the mad technomage. Among his greatest inventions are the minimicrochip, a microchip so small it only consists of individual atoms. These minimicrochips are used to provide computing power to the giant robots that comb the planet's surface, scanning for disentors to the mages iron rule.
(DNM explores P28 and finds a Miracle Machine Reverence LC, a Good amount of [Minimicrochips], and 3 units of Giant PROTECTbots.)

Gyrmlan explorers blast off into the void at legally unsafe speeds only to carren into an unknown system. At the galaxy's edge the system is home to several rocky planetoids filled with listening stations created by a long lost civilization. The listening stations have since been infested with wizards from across Axiom. Far from civilization, the wizard have begun to create ritual catalysts that enhance the speed of their spellcating.
(OwO explores N34 and finds 1 unit of Wizard Ritualists, an OPEN LC, and Minor [Ritual Catalysts.])

In their epic travels Etherite explorers come across a community of monks at the galaxy's edge. Stationed on an icy wasteland the monks live an aesthetic lifestyle as they search for signals that originate from outside the galaxy.
(ETL explores A11, and finds an OPEN LC, and a Good amount of [Observers of Beyond])

Etherite scientists and explorers come across a space station orbiting a neutron star. The space station harvests the radiation emitted by the star in order to power a computer known as Oracle. Oracle is an ancient computer that is specialized in creating other more specialized computer systems. Unfortunately Oracle seems very protective of its progeny, letting few of them ever leave the system.
(ETL explores A13 and finds an LC of Oracle Worshipers, 3 units of Oracle Keepers, and a Good [Specialized Computing].)

After many months Droccen explorers locate what was once known as the monastery star. A giant blue star surrounded only by the now abandoned monastery. Despite the location being abandoned by the Core Patrol in recent times, it's still protected by a vast array of disruption antena orbiting the system's edge, preventing the SAME from getting too close. Aside from only 50 Grey SPACE HOBOs the gigantic monstarries sole inhabitants are Quiet Qualings, silent quails that with brilliantly iridescent indigo that have largely taken over the monastery in the SOS’s absence.
(DCC explores K15 and finds an Open LC, a Great amount of [Quiet Qualings], and 4 units of v0.17.)

The Ninurtine Empire
Round 19

News and Rumours

• With the repeat of the message demanding the Emperor step down, the considerations of the previous years reach fever pitch. Eventually the debate is ended when the Emperor is found dead in his quarters. All the signs point to suicide, the note reading only "NEVER AGAIN".
• An election is hastily convened. Extensive lobbying by the President of Arursha means that Odilon Eke is considered an unusually strong candidate, winning more support than usual from Zayin and the colonies.
• The support of Mika Ren for the Ninurtine candidate, Renahimith, son of Cherahiteth II and considered Durgadoresh's heir presumptive, is successful in winning widespread support across the Empire. In the election, Nanasu, Bechu and Nisu quickly throw their weigh behind him too, in a display of what some consider tactical voting to block the Arurshans. While controversial, it is effective, and Renahimith is duly elected in only the second round of voting.
• To the surprise of some, the first Imperial Ideological Assembly is not established in the Maturin Sector, nor Ceylan, nor on Phi Station, but on Roan in Norduin. The heavily ritualistic nature of the population attracted them to the idea of establishing a formal assembly for the development and formalising of Imperial philosophy. It has also been suggested that the establishment there of an Assembly may help to revive wider interest in the world, where society had previously been considered somewhat stagnant, even moribund.

1. [1] [Diplomacy10] Diplomatic Unity: Galactic Empire
   For a long time now, the Duenem have overseen many worlds of a hundred cultures, with organics, synthetics and others. In a display of Unity, the Duenem decide that, with their consolidated position, they can best suit continuing the legacy of Niua by overseeing other races in the galaxy, and thus ensuring they too can grow to fruition and maturity. For now, they agree to separate this from what the Callers have done so far, if only due to the vast amount still unknown about their machinations.
   
   [2][Military] Raise a Unit
   With their now larger mission, a larger defence force is needed, therefore a new force is created, however this force recruits from the more organic races under the Duenem, to serve in purely technical and logistical ways.

   Seeing the sudden appearance of a good supply of broadcasting equipment just next door, the Duenem quickly move to secure it to jumpstart their counterespionage tasks.

Their specialized drives are marvels of technology. Naturally the Veritus are terrified, certain that their friendliness is a ploy to lure them into a false sense of security.

Fortunately for their ships, the Shrumpkin seem to have no inkling of personal space, and so have repaired and upgraded every ship they've come across without asking. Incredibly, this has led to a number of Veritus ships once thought to be scrap heaps turning into some of the fastest ships in the entire Veritus-Timens Protectorate.

-The economy of S27 is too weak and divided to sustain the monetary flow needed for a trade league. Invasion is briefly suggested by some of the clerics of Greg, but the overwhelming consensus from the Veritus and the Shrumpkin is that invasion is not an option; the Shrumpkin have no desire to antagonize other species, and the Veritus are terrified that they will be destroyed if they should ever initiate hostilities. Instead, it is decided to send extra funds and technology to S27 to aid the Chromatic Orbs in establishing a stronger power base. The Clerk Clerics are somewhat annoyed at the massive loss this will cause, but with the encroaching Ninurtine Imperium on the Protectorate's doorstep, the action is agreed upon.

-The Veritus subtly poke and prod their alien guests for information on the Droccen Imperium and the Ninurtine Empire. The latter is too close on the borders of the Protectorate to ignore, and the former was apparently involved in some sort of treaty with them.

Diplomacy: 10

Actions

• [Diplomacy] (Diplomacy 10) Become Galactic Power - As the combine has grown in size, the leadership is faced with having to address the needs of a much more diverse populace than they did forty cycles ago. Flash has spent years organizing and restructuring the Combine's leadership. Instead of a direct vote by the leaders of the Grymlan Corporations and Alien Factions, the succession of leadership will be determined by the current leader with the Corporations and Factions retaining the option to veto, both at the time the successor is to be established, and a later no-confidence veto should such a need arise. This would result in the High Coordinator having their successor working under them with the current projects of the Combine rather than the new leader having to play catch up as they arrive in office. The move grants the High Coordinator more power over the Combine's actions, while retaining the cutthroat political game that the Grymlans have come to love and play.
  
  In a grand announcement. Flash Starshine announced the new Combine as the Combine Interstellar League, with his daughter Luna Starshine as next in line to take over its reigns.

News and Rumors

• Elric Warran is a Lopurna empath and leader of one of the commercial groups that deals with extra-national trade. With the addition of the Combine to the proto-LTE, he was lobbying for stronger borders from which trade could be secured. He encouraged the growth of the military to not only secure them, but also act as a deterrent to those who might be inclined to meddle in LTE affairs, such as the SJWs in Warden space. Meanwhile he also emphasized that the LTE should look inwards to build up its infrastructure. That merely having the knowledge of doing something doesn't equate to the capacity to do it. With the announcement of the upcoming election, he has begun campaigning in an effort to put his name on the ballot.
• Spoiler: Combine Corporations

  Show

  
  Corporations of the Combine
  
  The government of the Grymlan Combine consists of several corporations that both coordinate with, and against, each other in deciding how the efforts of the Grymlan people are applied. The Corporations are patrons and financial backers to research, production, and distribution groups typically within a certain field of Grymlan life and their internal structure represents the same general structure of the Combine at large.
  
  As such, Leadership among the Grymlans is based on election, with canidates chosen both on their stance with the individual corporation and the needs of the Grymlan people as a whole. Unsurprisingly, corruption is not uncommon among Grymlans leaders. Corruption is expected by the general populace as long as it has reasonable limits. Leaders are expected to have their own personal projects they're working on as long as they meet the needs of the Grymlan people. Given the inquisitive nature of Grymlans as a whole, an the high profile nature of the leadership, Grymlan politicians tend to have Cat and Mouse games between themselves that the populace tends to keep abreast of as a form of entertainment. Should such a leader be deemed insufficent, whether by incompetence, corruption, or changing needs of the people, they can be voted out of their position by the Corporations under them (though the state in which they are voted out might dictate the terms of their severance).
  
  Some Corporations of the Combine.
  

  • Foodstuff Solutions: Headed by Abrigal Dirtpaw, Foodstuff Solutions represents many agricultural interests in the Combine. Their farms provide food to feed the Grymlan people as well as providing other materials to the other Corporations. Their labs work to improve existing crops while at the same time they are always on the look out for new potential products to grow and experiment with.
  • Max Zappyzap Projections: Lead by Dhaka Sparkthrower, Max Zappyzap Projections is the closest thing the Grymlans have to a security Corporation. In prior years they were an arms manufacturer who designed energy casters for Grymlan ships to protect them against space debris. They also did research into high energy release weapons that largely went unused (I mean of course you gotta set one off just to make sure it works, we didn't need that asteroid anyways) but did result in research with Arclight Power that provided the primary fission reactors that provide power to the Grymlan's cities and ships. Nowadays they serve as one of the military minded corporations expanding the Grymlan's knowledge of tactics and equipment as they are exposed to new races.
  • Arclight Power: Lead by Dayton Voltzap, Arclight Power serves the Grymlan's ever-growing need for power. They are the formost researchers in high energy fields and often looking for new elements or ways to use them alongside Max Zappyzap Projections.
  • Fluffyshine Grooming: Headed by Celise Dyedye, Fluffyshine Grooming provides cosmetics and grooming supplies to the Grymlans. Proper grooming, especially of their tails, is considered a necessity by the Grymlan populace. In addition Grymlans enjoy expressing themselves in a wide array of colors both in clothing and hair dye. Fluffyshine Grooming is the leader in what is new and chic by melding technology with fashion.
  • Farseeker Enterprise: Lead by Trevan Longhaul, Farseeker Enterprise focuses not only on exploratory sensors and shipping, but they also serve the Grymlan Combine with transporting goods between population centers. While they were not the designers of the Darkship concept, they have been diligently improving it, focusing on the ships abilities to operate on long haul deployments and improving on thruster designs.
  • Infrastructure Craftmakers: Lead by Bruk Dynacraft, Infrastructure Craftmakers maintains the infrastructure of Grymlan life whether it be the heat resistant domes of Wratheye or the various space stations orbiting the Cloudysea expanse. They support endeavors to build faster, cheaper, and more adaptable among hostile environments.
  • Truthytruth Communications: Lead by Leelee Sweettounge, Truthytruth Communications deals with data and communications between the Grymlan people and works alongside OwO, and they also host many news and entertainment channels.
  • Feelgood Incorporated: Lead by Vera Tailsnug, Feelgood Incorperated serves the healthcare needs of the Grymlans. The work to constantly push the boundaries of medicine and scientific enhancement.
  • Fringe Science Go!: Headed by Wexel Weirdlight, Fringe Sceince Go! explores theoretical scientific fields such as magic and psionics. With the introduction of aliens with these abilities they have seen a resurgence as of late.
  • Advanced Integrated Dynamics: A recent addition to the Combine, CCI acts as a military corporation specializing in theoretical and prototype designs created from the incorporation, and abuse of, alien tech. Led by Leelee Buildfast.

While lacking the comfort amenities and most of the production capabilities of Darkship Shinystar, they make up with a considerable increase of mobility and overall speed.
• Darkship Fleet Darks-Seer: Drawing upon the newly inducted Lopurna, Darkship Fleet Dark-Seer has several cruiser class ships created in a melding of Grymlan and Lopurna designs supported by Grymlan Zippyzap fighter craft. The The cruisers have several rapid fire zapcaster turrets dedicated to point defense and fighter denial systems, there are several crystaline emitter strips that run the lengths of the ship allowing the Lopurna crew to lash out with deadly psionic energy lances in lieu of the heavy zap cannons found on other Grymlan based warships.
• Aetherweave Assault Corps: Those Lopurna trained to act as soldiers train their psionic abilities to enhance their physical capabilities, moving with preternatural grace, strength, and precision. As situations call for it, small communions can be levied to increase their capabilities such as against hardened targets or evading detection.
• Ori Sentinels - Earned through round 17 decision. (description pending)
• Ori Honor Guard - Earned through integration. (description pending)

• Darkship Fleet Novabloom: To replace Darkship Shinystar, Grymlan engineers work on an updated Darkship Design that incorperates a greater number of smaller ships, each heavily armed with Deathbloom missile launchers and enhanced engines. Where previous iterations of darkship fleets focused on a slow, steady, approach to combat, Darkship Fleet NovaBloom represents the application of prototype explosive tech and changing ideas on approaches to naval doctrines.

News and Rumors

1. Lyrae announces that the coming governmental reforms are in response to the plurality of peoples and worlds now under her administrative control. According to her, instituting a parliamentary system is, "The best way to address the needs of every citizen in the Empire." While she will remain the formal head and her authority shall be the basis upon which the new administration operates, all citizens will have the unprecedented opportunity to elect representatives that will carry their concerns to the god-empress of Lyraen-kind herself. This new body will be lead by the 'Prime Minister', a term adopted from similar systems of other nations, who will take over many of the day-to-day concerns of running the Empire.
   
   Some voice concerns about Lyrae backing down in the face of this mysterious message, however she assures the public that this plan was developed independently of any external threat. She also said that it will allow her the freedom to focus more on her family, especially Raff, who will be entering adulthood in a few years. Maybe, in time, she herself will run for the position of Prime Minister! But for now, she will leave that honor to other aspiring citizens.

Nyx (M21), N22, N24
Lady Rust MS Fortuna of the Edgeskimmers

Actions

1. [Diplomacy] Press Claim to N20 using Trade League! (Pocket Factories) LC10 2d8+6 - The influx of Snaze as a recreational drug of choice among the Nyxian elite combined with Edgeskimmer and Hightower efforts to spread the doctrine of Rust among the Crocomen has led to N20 becoming a hotbed of political activity. The economic miracles performed and yet to be performed by the Nyxian market web are touted as bait on the lure while whispers of war from the Wardens acted as a shepherding warning not to stray or rely overmuch on independence. It seems more real effort is committed in getting to know the existing power structures of the region compared to previous annexations which were operated more like imperial colonies tithing to the Guild.
2. [Diplomacy] Attend Event/Send units to CmC - The Cosmic Couriers were calling in an old debt and Fortuna did not wish to engage in economic warfare with the Couriers as some more brazen among the Nyxian elite did. She seeks peace with the ancient Caller created organization sending a missive to the Couriers inviting them to send representatives to ____, a major galactic gathering where units could be turned over.

   Show

   
   
   
3. [Philosophy] Convert N22 from Open to CoR LC5 2d6+7 - Further securing Rust as an advocate for more thorough examination of local cultures beyond mere imperial dominion efforts are made by techpriests and xeno-anthropologists to embed themselves in the cultures long ignored except as sources of revenue by the Nyxian machine that ran local industry. An emptiness in the lives of many is filled with meaning in pursuing greater technical knowhow and engineers and scientists become more admired professions as Church funds establish grants, fund scholarships, and even found institutions of higher learning for local talented individuals.
4. [Philosophy] Convert O23 from Open to CoR LC5 2d6+7 - The Duenem were fellow adherents of Rust ideology and the source of Pocket Factories whose consumerist marvels delighted the well entertained and luxurious livers from Nyx to Zara. Rust principles of recycling, re-purposing, and rebranding will hopefully ignite among the megacorps management of O23 the same way it had caught fire among Nyxian investment gurus.
5. [Economy] Buyout Cricalores (O19) Flame Hunters TP1 (& TP2?) with Galactic Currency, Lopurna, & Star Galleons 2d8+9 - With civil war looming investment in Warden space was a risky prospect but the weak economic backbone of the Source Knight Masters meant making inroads would be trivial. The demand for mercenaries was always present in Nyx. Even when doubly or triply satiated there were up and coming merchant governors and merchant princes who desired greater security. While worker revolts were unheard of in Nyx home space given the glut of consumer goods cheaply available to the few remaining workers in the capital in the outer territories ensuring foreign guns were ready to squash any local resistance before it got started was always worth investing in. The cutthroat mercenaries of Cricalores had helped secure a handful of hefty fortunes built on deep space mine claims in former Same space proving their value in dealing with threats to the pursuit of profit.
6. [Economy] Buyout Dynastinarea (O21) Lightning Wands TP1 (& TP2?) with Galactic Currency & Star Galleons 2d8+8 - In a wise business move the head of the merchant house who lost their Glazed Diamonds to unidentified jewel thieves pivots to small arms sales. Incoming Cricalores bounty hunters and preexisting mercenaries needed weapons and with Source Knights running around with laser swords and Same fleets exploding every month along the Core the discerning merc wanted something ranged that couldn't be blocked, melted, or cut. The Wizzetrix of Dynastinarea offered the perfect solution. Lightning in a bottle wand. Just point, click, and let the mystical energies aligned by Dynast sorcerers do the rest.

2. [Diplomacy]Raise reputation with Core Patrol Corps 1>2 TN 12 vs 2d6+8 Roll: 13
   The citizens of the National Front - of whom the Djinye were a small minority now - have pushed the government to take a more active stance in the fate of Axiom, beginning with bringing about the end of the Same. DNF soldiers and ships mass in CPC bases around the Core, readying themselves for assisting the Droccen, Knights Vacio and others in the final push.
3. [Diplomacy]Claim I29 2/2
   The DNF also continues pursuing its interests at the galactic rim - investigating the site of the former ANE headquarters is one such interest, and scouts closely followed by flag-planters are slowly but surely inching towards the goal.
4. [Diplomacy]Create a claim on K27 2d6+8 Roll: 14
   The DNF Council is considering OwO with some suspicion, and quickly moves to protect the relatively new CoR populace in the region at the (assumed) request of the FCO.
5. [Military 10]Make Tactical Doctrine "Guerrila Warfare" permanent
   Large-scale military exercises are taking place in the otherwise empty skies of Selbe as military spending in the DNF goes through the roof. Is all this equipment really necessary to fight the Same, or is the country preparing for a different war? You wish you'd know, don't you.
6. [Economy 10]Galactic Trade Network Requires "Trade League", Skilled Beings. Effect: Once per round, reduce ZoI penalty on buyouts by one step.
   Since the awakening, merchants have obtained connections all over the galaxy that allow them to order a shipment of goods that will arrive long before stock runs out. That strategy not new, it was simply upscaled, but there are also powerful assistant AIs that allow the merchant to buy long before either he or his competitors know the product will be in demand. With all of this profit and goodness, many newspapers announce a new golden age - perhaps the Maturated are starting to catch up with the Callers' technology?

News and Rumors:

• heir?
• General Pyre's tragic demise at the hands of dishonorable assassins sent by the pretender to the Gelean throne unites all DNF citizens in ten days of mourning. After Pyre's coffin is finally lowered into a massive sepulcher on the moon of Kop in the Xaldarian Expanse, there is a lingering feeling of injustice among citizens. Crowds gather to demand the avenging of her death, but the Gelean Empire has collapsed and it will take several years for the DNF military to capture all planets leading up to the capital - more than enough time for culprits to disperse across the galaxy. The Realtaist Legate, Hei Li, advises the people to divert their anger instead to the numberous other nefarious groups that still exist in Axiom.
• The sudden decline of the Ndoda and Celestians is acknowledged with regret and apprehension. Half of the DNF's stellar neighbors have disappeared now, as the invisible apocalypse spreads towards the heart of the galaxy. This underscores the urgent need for a capable DNF intelligence agency that could find out the cause of this. To strenghten the remaining nations, a free trade deal is struck with the Droccen, in addition to an agreement over the governance of the former Ndoda regions.
• At first, the Djinye looked on the Wardens' experimenting with controlling the Same with curiosity, but now it has become patently clear that the Source Knight business has devolved into madness. The Space Justice Warriors and their supporters are denounced as threats to world peace and the VSL is applauded as the only Star League Charter member to step in and defend the citizens of Hearth.

   For months following Itea's disappearance, the Churches are in uproar - how could this have happened while they were in the midst of rescue and stabilization operations? How many thousands or millions vanished alongside the planet, never to return? The star may yet be present, but the mystery haunts the hearts of Federation captains and Church officials alike. The Itean Refugees are - following a thorough but perhaps insufficient screening process - directed to settle in Sanctum, where they might find others who had kept some semblance of their faith - and explain what happened to the heart of their faith. In the meantime, search efforts are focused on the divine artifacts the Itean Church possessed, since determined to be missing from the planet herself. Given present understanding of the Beyond and the shred of information gleaned concerning Light Additives, there is a hope, however faint, that the Library of Truth might be recovered to safekeeping in Church custody.

News & Rumors

• The Darkening of Itea is a terrifying and fascinating phenomenon. A few even use the term 'rapturous'.
• Humanitarian aid from the Star League is received and put to use
• The Knight-Who-Is-Not-Yet-Black seems deaf to the ravages of the WWE around them. Their vessel does not orbit the Source, but seems to remain in one place, allowing the incredibly gravity to warp their hull as strange and powerful magics bombard the vessel....
• The Time of Revelations Has Begun.
• Control over the wormhole in Oam tightens, ostensibly due to a need to curtail traffic for the purposes of research. Some have quietly noted noted that if one were judging by passage priority allocation, Ninurtine government vessels would seem to be the most disruptive to this research. Considering the majority of traffic is Imperial in the first place, however, it may simply be the result of equally distributed supply quotas and unequal demand.
• Prator Qain's arrival is an unexpected but welcome honor. Perhaps the last surviving Kamasati still in control of their own mind, they are welcomed graciously. Though the psychic has lost much of their former power, they offer their services as military officer in return for safety and stability under the auspices of the Convocation government - an offer which is politely turned down. The Ordained need no service from the last Kamasati to give them a home, far though it may be from their own world. The former Prator is allowed their pick of places to retire - though in the end, they choose Oam, as one of the few places with psychics of enough potential and power to be akin to the home of their youth. The Amrit Blossoms, too, seem to take comfort in the Prator's presence, and so it is out of gratitude that the former Prator deigns to pass on their wisdom and experience to younger generations. An informal academy of sorts, their educational program is soon one of the most vaunted and sought after in Convocation space - albeit mostly by non-Rass.

Show

• Custodian-type vessels are those which best serve a role in the defense and protection of other vessels, whether by picking off small hostile craft or projectiles or by engaging in actions that larger vessels would have more difficulty with; these ships are typically smaller in size and carry weaponry built to engage similarly sized vessels or smaller.
• Wrecker-type vessels are those which are built to swiftly inflict damage far in excess of their own size, and often rely on an excellent offensive armament or support from other voidships to avoid being destroyed themselves.
• Coaster-type vessels are those which are intended to operate for long periods of time on their own, on patrol or long-distance missions, with sufficient defensive capabilities, armament, and speed to defeat or escape most threats. Coasters are still more than capable of contributing to full fleet engagements, however, and often serve very well as both vanguard and reinforcing element, thanks to their strength and balance.
• Rifter-type vessels are those meant to disrupt enemy organization, place directed pressure on enemy formations, and perhaps most significantly, carry spinal weaponry capable of devastating hostile elements caught in their firing line. During fleet engagements, Rifters are typically put to best effect either by using the threat of their weaponry to break up enemy formations and isolate elements, which can then be defeated in detail, or as a means of delivering the killing blow to vessels which have been herded into killzones by other ships.
• The Hulk-type is usually used in conjunction with another descriptor type, as it is largely used to denote the size and concentrated force of a vessel; currently, it is used to refer to ships massing more than 450 kilotonnes. As the baseline systems necessary to maintain technological parity increase average ship sizes, however, the size designations this refers to is almost certain to be subject to change.
• Rigs and Drones serve largely the same role, the difference between the two consisting almost entirely of whether the ships are crewed internally, or by Ordained Intelligences or remote operators. These vessels most commonly lack independent FTL capacity or the resources to manage sustained deployment.
• Outriggers, Drone Barges, and Reef Beds likewise refer to vessels with similar purposes – the provisioning, maintenance, and transport of Rigs, Drones, or both, respectively. The versatility Reef Beds have in this respect is most commonly due to having partially internal hangars, allowing them to provide a greater level of support to their carried craft, compared to the external attachment points typically present on Outriggers or Drone Barges.
• Scrapper and Slagger-type vessels refer to built to both endure and inflict heavy punishment, particularly during large fleet engagements, where their relatively low maneuverability and vulnerability to smaller craft can be compensated for. Scrappers are vessels whose primary armament is based on kinetic or explosive weaponry, while Slaggers are those with a more energy focused armament, such as high-intensity lasers, anti-particle beams, or quantum entanglement detonator beams, more commonly abbreviated as Q-beams.
• Hunters and Deepships serve matching strategic purposes, to an extent, albeit in different ways. Deepships will typically raid enemy logistics vessels and foster paranoia by striking deep within the opposition’s controlled space, making use of surprise, numbers, and speed to strike their targets decisively and leave before hostile reinforcements can arrive; this can also be performed by leaving self-targeting weaponry along frequently traveled routes. Hunters, meanwhile, are well suited to seeking out and destroying pirates, raiders, and isolated enemy elements, often being equipped with an impressive suite of sensors and noisecutters to push through the countermeasures of their targets.
• Wastelayer-type vessels are considered to be those dedicated to the invasion of planets and destruction of stationary hardened targets, providing fire support, oversight, and logistical support to efforts aimed at occupation of planetary surfaces and stations.
• Crasher-type vessels are those specialized for indirect warfare, especially mystical, psychic, and technological warfare - destabilizing enemy defense networks, overwhelming sensor arrays, debilitating crews and converting OIs. Crashers rarely carry significant direct weaponry, and some can be effectively converted to appear to be non-military vessels.

[*][Intrigue]Begin work on a research facility in Itea (T16), in cooperation with the Syndrome (Intrigue Station 1/7)
Given the scale of the tragedy and the demand for answers by both nations, the diplomatic arm of the Federated Churches reach out to entreat with the Syndrome Protectorates regarding the construction of a shared network of observatories, remote laboratories, and monitoring stations throughout the Itean system. Accompanying these would be facilities to support indefinite habitation both on- and off-planet - entertainment and psychological support principal among these, given the dread that permeates the system; security measures to ensure the safety of the inhabitants given what previously took place in the system (as well as such could be, anyway); and a suitable arrangement for coordinating administration efforts satisfactorily for all parties. As a show of good faith that some would call prudency should such negotiations fail, the Federated Churches have already dispatched multiple recovery scaffolds, most commonly used to salvage orbital shipwrecks, to begin work on the first foundations for the construction to come.

Goblin friends. The smugglers' nest eradicated in a clinical strike, the cathedralcraft above Hobilar ponders the fate of the goblinkind below. Some advocate integration - uplifting the natives, introducing them to the Radiant Dawn, providing a path to enlightenment through civilisation. Others advocate observance from afar, leaving those below the clouds to their own devices and settling on the peaks, analysing the atmosphere, leaving the world in the hands of the Ikosq'kans. Discussions continue over the smouldering corpses of smugglers, the goblins seemingly blissfully unaware far below.

Habitation pods are lowered to the surface, and the colony begins. Factions within the explorers vy for control of the world, chief amongst them the Kazzari, seeing the potential of the system both for the mineral materials, and possibility of relatively unimpeded racing on the parched surface, and the Dravidians, bidding for the wealth to contribute to the rebuilding of Dravidia itself, damaged by a meteor impact a year prior.

Scour the Bridge
Mindful of the threat of effective command, Federation strike squads lead daring strafing runs targeting the bridge of the opposing flagship, in a bid to cripple their command structure (chance of leader loss for enemies increased by 4)

Spoiler: Active Named Units

Show

Master's Force; The personal guard force of the standing Master. Remains within home territory 'cept in times of war, where they join the Master's grand fleet. Commanded by Jack Ackar Silver, former Officer of the Dawnguard.

Redskull Squadron; Where Ravager Squadron fought for the 'Dominion forces during the Dreider wars, and thus emerged a heroic and vaunted unit, the Redskulls were the Dreider forces' most effective strike unit, often operating alone from forward bases to conduct lightning assaults on key command positions behind 'Dominion lines. The unit was composed of the most veteran pilots fighting for the Dreider, and were integral to the Dreider ability to continue to prosecute the wars. In one of the last actions of the Third Dreider War, their commanding officer of the time, Farus Velkor Ghorakka, could see the tide of the war had well and truly turned, and rather than obey orders to fight on until destroyed, he took the squadron and surrendered, refusing to fight against his former brethren. The 'Dominion airforce chose to incorporate the Redskulls into their ranks, on the condition they were never deployed against Dreider dissidents. Newly equipped with GLD, the squadron is composed of hardened veterans, and fights loosely in wings of three, each pilot trusting his companions beyond doubt, and is the most innovative fighter squadron in the Felhounds, in stark contrast to the tight, squadron wide formations once employed by Ravager Squadron, and most other squadrons within the Felhounds. Commanded by Bren Ghor.

1st Brigade, PsiCorps; PsiCorps is composed of Mindbreaker Eris from Eriador. Eschewing starships, the Eris of the squadron possess forms largely biological in nature, living bio-craft fed and powered by energy extracted from ley line nexus on Eriador. These Eris have been trained for decades for combat, possessing frightening psionic power. Commanded by Gladien Bladed-One.

Furion Squadron; Freed from the shadow cast by Ravager Squadron, Furion has emerged as the most aggressive unit in Starfleet. The lead squadron of the Felhounds, Furion is composed of young, hungry hotshots, and while this often leads to arguments and tensions between pilots, their individual skill is a force to be reckoned with. The kings of the simulators during academy training, Furion pilots are eager to join the Great Crusade, and test their skills in proper combat. Commanded by Xixis Ilhith.

The Demon-Flock of Angrosh: These terrifying creatures of darkness & horror assailed the Eris for centuries. As Eriador burned, most of the Demon-Flocks were pulverised in the bombardment, but one survived. Angrosh is a cunning schemer, and when she saw a full fleet of deadly vessels hove into orbit, she took her flock up into the cold of space, and latched onto the Mindbreaker Academy in extreme orbit. In exchange for their lives, the flock agreed to turn their might towards enemies of the Federation. In peacetime, they are based in an Ikosq'ka system rich in low-level sentient mammalian life to feed upon.

New Dawn: Formerly flagship of the fleet, now mobile capital of the Federation. Modified Nyxian-Celenian Lancer-class cruiser.

Grey Bulwark; The first squadron of 'the Line' equipped with GLD, the 'Bulwark is one of the oldest continuously operational squadrons in Starfleet, known for their complex, interlocking defensive formations, and possessing the fastest cruisers among the Wardens' forces. Dispatched to aid the Rothuun traditionalist claimant during their leadership squabbles, in line with Marius' policy of conservative containment.

Stalwart Shield; Refitted with the last major reserves of metal available to the fledgling Aurelian Order, the 'Shield is one of the Wardens' heavier squadrons, comprised of bulky, ponderously slow heavy cruisers. Using tractor beams to remain anchored in formation during battle, these armoured beasts are formidable weapons platforms. Heavily damaged in the attack on Hallion, the Shield were rapidly repaired by the Aurelian Order and sent back into the field as a bulwark. Damaged in the defence of Eriador, and dispatched to the Rothuun following the Civil War.

Blackheart Brigade; The Dreadfleet has never needed to operate outside 'Dominion subspace - until now. The successes in the Great Crusade have driven Marius to authorise the GLD-conversion of the Blackheart Brigade, the 'Dominion's secondary terror unit. Deployed to suppress dissidents and unrest, and used to house prisoners of all types, Blackheart follows primary invasion forces to ensure loyalty or displacement of the native, occupied population. Damaged during the Civil War, and transferred to the Rothuun after that conflict.

Ravager Squadron; The oldest and most decorated squadron in Starfleet, Ravager's Squadron Leaders were the most commonly elected to the position of Officer & Master. Such storied names as Aurelius, first Master of the Interstellar Era, back to Axton himself, led the Ravagers to glory on the battlefield. Lost with all hands on the Great Foray, the Ravagers banners remain on display in the Academy, a relic of the days the 'Dominion stood above all others.

Crimson Heart; Marius' personal flotilla of light cruisers, the only vessels to return from the Great Foray, credited with establishing the roots of vassalage within the neighbouring system of the pencilpushers. Lost in transit to defend their valiant allies in the SPR, the fate of the Crimson Heart remains unknown.

First Flight; The first squadron into space, First Flight scoured the stars in the days before the GLD was gifted to the 'Dominion, tirelessly mapping the Talvox system and surrounding sector, establishing peaceable relations with lesser races and remaining a beacon of hope that advanced life remained beyond our knowledge. Lost in battle against unknown foes during the Great Foray, First Flight remains a symbol of all exploration may gain for our great 'Dominion.

Shatter Squadron: The teeming mass of corvettes, crewed by the most inexperienced of Starfleet's recruits, is the breeding ground for competent non-nobility to rise to prominence. Unfortunately, this inexperience led Shatter to catastrophe as a routine navigation task delegated to a fresh-faced ensign went horribly awry, shooting the squadron into the heart of an exoplanet on their inaugural jump as part of the Great Foray.

Actions

1. [Philosophy] Continue "Channeling the Source" in N14 (4/5) - The project to drill open a hole in spacetime connecting N14 to N18 and the Source itself continues apace with limited results suggesting a channel was indeed opening as radiation was poured into a dying star.
2. [Philosophy] Convert O9 from Chivalric Codes to KISS 19 - The Chivalric Codes were merely unempowered disciplines that a Source Knight might easily take unto themselves in addition to their oaths to the Source. The Space Paladins who had parleyed with the Alysians prior to their collapse are entreated to adopt the ideology of Knights in Service to the Source. May their valor and honor bring glory to the Source!
3. [Military] Invade Hearth (N18) alongside the SJW with 6 Units of Same Drones & Source Knights (EC Lances [ECW {Energy Crystals}, Crystal Skulls], Enhanced Microplating [Boreal Metal], Sublight Thrusters [Audio Amplfuelers], Gestalt Warmind [Exotic Seafood]) under Source Knight Eleven utilizing Permanent Mass Wave Tactical Doctrine (Mil 8) (+2 Battle, +4 Tactical Maneuvering [+2/Add'l General], +1 Enemy Combat Losses on victory) - Source Knight Eleven marshals their forces and sets on a beeline for Hearth to join the Warriors against the Wardens in the name of the Source itself.
4. [Military] Raise 1 Unit of Source Knights - Additional cohorts of Source disciples ascend to knighthood throughout Eleven's theocratic territory and are deputized in the name of galactic justice. Equipped with Source Swords these wandering pairs and individuals quickly come to be recognized and associated with resolving conflict though given the disparity in Source disciplines whether resolutions involved meditation or massacre often depended on the individual in question with only Source Knights capable of policing themselves.
5. [Intrigue] Secret - It has now become an accepted and unspoken fact that Eleven shall become dissociative for long stretches without recall and that to question this was to risk exposure to the Source Channel without proper protective gear.

The Star League Charter

As the territories of matured species expand, and we confront growing threats from without and within, it is resolved that we gathered here affirm our principles. We, the people of the Star League, do make known these policies in hope for a brighter future for the galaxy.

We Are Resolved

• To defend the sovereign right of every species, organic or synthetic, to self-government, or to equitable representation as equal partners in greater galactic powers.
  
• To safeguard, by that same principle, the rights of any lesser power when threatened by an outside aggressor.
  
• To guarantee the sovereign borders of all member states, through diplomacy if possible, but if necessary through force of arms.
  
• To pledge our might to the eradication of those forces which threaten the continued prosperity of all species, within and without the League.
  
• To pursue technological advancement, both civilian and military, and to freely proliferate these advancements among League members.
  
• To ensure the free and open movement of trade between our borders, absent onerous or unequal duties.
  
• To seek out and preserve the knowledge of Axiom’s progenitor species, that we might gain their wisdom and avoid their downfall.
  
• To promote cultural exchange of beliefs and ideals, so that social progress and better standards of life might be realized.
  
• To form a unified council to serve as adjudicator in cases of conflict between League members, and under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of galactic law can be maintained.

We so Affirm,

Ren-Kulto, Speaker of the Vilari Sodality
Ouren Dris'Thelle, President of the Etherite Trade League
The Speakers of the Convocation of the Federated Churches of Origin's End
Her Majesty Lin Sid of Plantera, President of the Council of the Djinye National Front

(NPC, Non-Org) Efficiency Ground

Intrigue - Open the Way - In return for their previous aid, and a small token of continued support, Wrath orders that the Way will be opened for those whom wish to come assist in the Source Civil War.
Wrath, the current leader of Efficiency Ground, has a way to transport anyone who spends a Military WAR Action to N18 during Round 19. Those whom have N18 within their Improbable Zone will only suffer (2) Distance Loss Rolls. Those whom have N18 within their Hard Zone will only suffer (1) Distance Loss Roll. Techs that reduce Distance Loss Rolls can apply. All other Zones of Influence in relation to N18 suffer (0) Distance Loss Rolls. Because of the rushed nature of this cooperated assault, Size and Coalition Losses will occur as normal.

WARNING: Though Wrath wants to assist the Wardens, there is no accounting for taste. Some of those transported may end up helping the Source Justice Warriors, and there is no way for Efficiency Ground to prevent this.

Well.. except whatever 'Shadowfax' is - after the slip the administration is doing a great job at playing dumb about it.
