The latest in the news:

The Titan Class Super Ore Carrier recently launched by Revenant Shipyards with state backing - and consequently major holdings in its profits - is operating as intended as a a large, independent mining vessel in systems lying inbetween our home worlds for now.
After a short time spent as an independent state, the colony on Nova Bogota has come under the protection of the United Cities of America, perhaps heralding that nascent nation's general expansion south of the Panama Canal as well with the former Bolivarian Federation now crumbling.

Alien marauders have been reported as close as the Amazion system, lying in corporate space.

Vehicles Industry

We will invest in the creation of a military vehicles native industry. This should give our military forces (militia, army and marines) the same tools of any other star nation force. The vehicles that we will produce will be' of all types (ground, spaceair and sea) used. This can be' easily done by downloading common blueprints and then work on them with our scientists.
Sheriffs also need some military vehicles so it would be useful for them too. )even ESIA if they need some)

We will help them set up, create their first models and start production.

Previous companies had made already a few vehicles they will receive help as well in developing and producing them.

Then with the production going the vehicles will be distributed to the EFS military forces.

After the military production has been establish, we will help this industries in having a civilian side for produce vehicles (civilian, work, sport) that can be used by our citizenry and sell even in the markets of other nations.

New vehicle plants are set to be opened or existing ones to be commissioned in serial military production. The decision to use blueprints found on the market will ensure this initiative will not be a heavy burden on the budget.

SPACE NEWS
In May, a marauding fleet went where no xenos hostile force had ever gone before - the Sol System itself. It spent a week in-system, raiding the outlying trade lanes, mining outposts and the secondary colonies in the system's outer worlds. A Eurasian strike force was dispatched and subsequently defeated near Uranus, with many brand new ships and their crews now floating in the void. After the battle, the aliens left the system.

Interstellar trade has taken a hit and is expected to suffer further, with security once more diminished like the early days of space piracy.

The Aliens cannot be defeated in a conventional war with our current technological gap. This is an undeniable fact. Just about every engagement thus far has been disasterous. Instead of gathering the Alliance of Extraterrestrial States for War, gather them for research. A joint research initiative between all members, to brainstorm and develop means to narrow the tech-gap and bring us closer to parity with the Aliens. Using a combination of original research and any possible salvage we can scrounge up, we'll begin paving a means to victory through science.

Simping for this

It seems that hostile attitude towards Eurasia within our Assembly has spurred the initiative for outreach as focus is put on the AES establishing joint research operations. Unfortunately, there is still relatively little physical material to work with as these marauding aliens have remained undefeated so far.
The Eurasian government on the other hand has been seen to be getting closer in their working relationship with the megacorporations that form the Free Enterprise Pact. Intel reports from Syndicate spies indicate that the corps have actually managed to secure some alien materials of their own over the years to reverse engineer and are now supposedly in possession of more than one working model of new age weaponry.

March, 2262 - the City of London. The chimes of an ancient bell tower draw the bewildered looks of some visitors, yet to the tens of millions inhabiting this megapolis' boundraries it's just 4 Bong on a damp Wednesday afternoon.
Your escorts guide you past the few preserved relics of past eras and into a behemoth of modern material and construct, one of many spires rising thousands of feet above the undercity.
Delegates of the Interstellar Cooperative Syndicate shuffle around with a measure of discomfort quite evident, some awkwardly eyeing the official liasons of several megacorporations presently chatting with local politicians as the representatives of the Pavonid Union and Extrasolar Free State are being given cards to their guest lodgings in the spire.
Journalists crowd the periphery of the hall in expectation of something - some capture the images of the various national representatives assembling within this space, instantly uploading to the wider network, but many seem to be in waiting for something else.

The first conference meeting is scheduled to begin soon, but you have some semi-formal time beforehand to do as you wish, though leaving the spire may make it impossible to attend the conference itself.

What'll you do now? Either as individuals sent by factions or official government representatives of the EFS, you have some freedom to interact for a while in this exploration event.

>>4355092
Talk to the delegates from the ICS, learn who they are as this will be important for the coming negotiations.
They are after all our oldest allies.

Javier II Deston current Solar Marshall will look forward to talk with the other military representatives of the AES, and wait for the moment when there will be the actual talk.

Rodrigo the CEO of the Deston Group, will follow his cousin and see if the AES states are interested in Deston products.

>>4355092
Talk up the EA reps on their offensive again the marauders. Try to learn more on how they attempted to defeat them and If they’re not feeling inclined to share the info talk about their good work in terraforming many new worlds for humanity.

Gibson Vow, current head of Kayub Eterani, chats with many megacorp representatives starting off with casual business chatter then ending it with rumors about the invasive aliens and others spotted within human space.

>>4355096
In compliance with Comrade-Chairman Jang's policy, the representatives themselves are to only make decisions as a committee. Said committee is made up of eleven elected representatives from ten major syndicates - Miners, Medical Doctors, Farmers, Metallurgists, Artists and others - and the eleventh being vice-chairman Ronado, a man already heavily in his drinks. He says it makes committee gatherings easier. When the eleven eventually convene in one place they remember about the existence of your alliance and offer you kind words (after deliberation) and then propose that your diplomatic efforts be aimed towards the exclusion of the megacorps from these negotiations. They then disperse once more.

>>4355103
Your Freedombots draw the interest of a pair of corporate reps, whilst the networking inittiative draws in the Cyber Syndicate's representative and the chief Pavonid diplomat, himself a respected developer of modern software initially.

A frail old lady exuding an undeniable aura of dignity has you as a guest over at the 101st floor terrace for 5 Bong tea and biscuits.She finds your company delightful and gives you a parting "Bless your soul" as you head down towards the conference afterwards.

>>4355108
An impromptu club of military representatives has been formed in one section of the guest hall, in which you are welcomed. Bourbon is shared and a game of blitz chess is played as you talk over some vague matters that wouldn't include mentioning any classified information in potentially hostile territory.

Deston products find interest in one of the corporate liasons.

Your talks on terraformation go much further than those on military matters, as representatives of the Defense Forces seem rather squeamish and the other politicians are quite prone to passing the hot potato that is the topic on to the next person, always with an excuse of "That's not my area of expertise, I apologize.". What you do learn is that several high ranking naval officers died in the last engagement off Uranus and Earth itself was practically on high alert for a week with a follow-through invasion being expected, yet never coming.
"It's like they felt satisfied only after having a battle" One depressed looking officer says at one point. "They wouldn't leave before we gave them their entertainment. Is that what we are?"

It is 6pm and the journalists finally have what they were waiting for - the delegation of the United Federation is brought into the spire, a dozen members all in all, with several Zian faces being a relatively familiar sight to you in the EFS, though it is evident that this delegation is one meant to display unity. Those among them who speak at all do so in English, with varying degrees of eloquence. After brief pleasantries are exchanged, all the diplomats make their way up several floors and into the conference chamber wherein the official talks begin.

On the first day of the talks it was mostly just introductions, a program being set for the next four days and a few short words from various groups, mostly to set the general tone. Evening sees rest and recreation time for all as you have time to deliberate your overall aims.

Collectively, decide on that - what will you try to push forward in these talks for the EFS as a whole?

>>4355157
Work closely with the ICS in stating that we don't believe that the Corps have any right to enter these negotiations, they aren't a government but a business conglomerate and one that didn't help us in the Black Sun Reich war.
As for our aims, we want knowledge on who these raiders are, where they are based, a non aggresion pact with the federation with trade and embassies attached.
We shall even float the idea of a unified task force dedicated to hunting these raiders down and punishing them.

>>4355157
This is my proposal so far. It’s open to additions.
First ask the federal representatives if they have any information on the marauders. If they do it can give us a diplomatic avenue to end or reduce these incursions.

Next we should organize combined defense initiative so we can properly respond to these attacks. So far they’ve been able to run rampant over human colonies. With a better response system we would be able to marshal enough forces to properly combat them.

The technological advantage the marauders hold over us is something enough that we should share pieces of information gathered so far.

>>4355164
I agree with this proposal, but we should add on the Trade and Embassies options, along with focusing on excluding the Megacorps

>>4355157


- Avoid that the corps gain a majot gain, unless they actually help the United Front in stopping the xenos raiders,
- Ensure that the federation is interested in helping us stopping this raids on human space. The help they give can be of different types, whatever it is we will take it.
- Gather the other human states for create a plan for deal with the foe, together.

Our assault on the corporate position, alongside our Syndicalist allies, brings a lot of heat into the conference room as they fervently defend their position as an important factor and economic backbone to all human efforts "You fail to appreciate the many contributions the Free Enterprise Pact and its member-corporations have made towards the noble efforts of mankind in this day and age." they tell you. The Eurasian hosts, for their part, seem to have no intention of throwing the corporate representatives out at this point.

The Federation's dignitaries are slow to reveal information, but they do share some once the infighting on our side has calmed down:

They believe that these marauders are forces belonging to the Stareater Empire, the rival entity that has been at war with the Federation for generations now.

"To be precise, they are not forces under the central command of their Emperor or his closest vassals - they are mercenaries, rogues and vagabonds, some even from outside the Empire itself, who fight for the Empire without bearing its flag. These are probing attacks most likely, meant to establish the balance of forces - and whether a fullblown invasion from the Empire would be worth the resources it would take."
Audible gasps and grumbling can be heard from various human diplomats.
"On that front, you can rest assured - the Stareater Empire would be very foolish to attempt any major offensive on human space as that would open their core territories to an offensive from our own Federal Navy. The progress of this tragic civil war has stagnated over past years - yet a solution may be at hand. If humankind were to unite and join the Federation, its boundless potential would be developed with all the help we can give and the barbarity of this conflict would be swiftly ended. The planets that have been ruined, the people who have been enslaved - these wrongs can be set right."

With this, the bulk of Day 2's talks draw to a close. The Syndicate thanks us for our support in discrediting the corporations and their lies.

For Day 3, the primary topic will be the matter of human cooperation. What stance would the EFS take on this?

>>4355201
-Focus on establishing a common network of defensive around human space.
-Free exchange of information gathered on the Star Eater Empire.

The Eurasian diplomats were the only one in agreement with the proposition of a united humanity as a member of the Federation - but the aliens made it clear that they would not take just one human nation out of several into their ranks - mankind will join as a united force is what their current stance is.

Common defensive networks and information sharing, after hours of deliberation, does reach agreement.

As the final part of the conference, relations with the Federation are brought up once more - the Federation has for the longest time had a policy of observing, but not interfering with human affairs and even with recent years' diplomatic overtures, actual lasting connections and trade have been near zero so far. The federation diplomats propose the establishment of a trade route with Sol, for which they plan to establish several outposts within the "Human-Reserved Quadrant" in which they would also maintain a partial military presence for the purpose of protecting such trade routes.

Hastur's Helpful Hattery

After the discovery of Gaia (Eterani III) and the class II planet that was litered with small deposits of minerals and transplutonic ores, a extremely large vein of semiconducting ore was found upon an asteroid. This ore was previously very expensive, with very few deposits minable in the Extra Solar State, and exclusively used by the government sectors and academic research due to its rarity.
When the ore became available for wider purchasers, Hastur, a biochemist, spent his life savings on much of the ore for sale commercially and began experimentation with the now more abundant refined metal. He found after much theorising that the metal was excellent for integrating modern electronics with the neuropathways of the limbic system of the human brain, most specifically the amygdala, more efficiently than any other neurotechnology. The metal was used to develop technology, fitted into hats and helmets, to help manage and limit emotional ranges of the user. With the long working hours or a space citizen, his hats were wildly popular for commercial as well as industrial use.
Hastur s Helpful Hattery went on to develop all other types of hats, using the rare metals and resources available, to invent new types of mind altering hats, ranging to emotion limiting hats to helmets equipped with ai. The Board of Hastur's Helpful Hattery run the company day to day, whilst Hastur continues to research.

With an enthusiastic group of young thinkers, a team is put together, rights are secured for construction and a decently sized and equipped industrial plant is set up - one of the first on Gaia, the colony's population being still small. Consequently, you do find yourself employing a significant percentage of the population of Gaia's primary spaceport settlement in your plant, which begins producing mechs - mostly practical labor models that are useful in a low-population colony with mining to be done.
Your IP is 18 now.


IP? What the hell is that, GMoid? How do I play as a faction anyway?
Good of you to ask, new player.

Your Influence Points are an abstract resource which is a sum of money, connections, reputation and so on, things you can call on in a time of need. You can spend Influence Points on projects and, in some cases, other actions - the rule of thumb is that IP can be spent on things which have an effect within the nation/are linked to it. Dangling a heavy purse in front of a ship's captain won't make his cruiser shoot faster, though.
As for playing as a faction, you keep a name on to identify yourself as that faction, you push agendas that are beneficial to you - or you don't, if you want to be a virtuous sucker - and you coordinate with others for common goals or get dirty in the mud of intrigue. Influence can be gained by successful projects and also from generally making your faction useful/gaining something from events. To that end, the Super Ore Carrier being ordered a few years back has given the LEG +6 and Kayub Eterani +4 IP respectively for their gains from those sweet, sweet government contracts.

The Greater London area has remained an important scientific hub as it has been for many centuries now. You make some interesting contacts with various groups and get news on various hot issues in the scientific community - of particular recent interest has been the development of new synthetic fibers - more durable, cheaper, more comfortable - as traditional, more 'natural' production methods are less viable with both environmental damages on Earth and the issues of colonial biology and economies.

An american attache speaks first.
"Some intel on land engagments from Nova Bogota has indeed reached us. One report claims the aliens employ crushing aerial supremacy to demolish any and all local defenses; Another speaks of head-on land assaults on a well entrenched colonial marine position - straight into their defenses! There's talk of extensive usage of personal shield systems, I've heard nothing about mechanized warfare though."

Grumbles, puffs of smoke, shots of whiskey being drunk.

"There's been some rumors" another fellow officer, a Martian fellow, begins "And don't quote me on this or ask where I've heard this." He looks around some more. "Mercenaries, combat robots and most recently, some say, clone troops. They have all been seeing a lot of fighting on Megacorp worlds - rapid response and garrisons both against land incursions. They've actually managed - on some occasions - to beat back attacks and even capture aliens and some of their technology. Now what might they do with all of that advanced tech, one wonders?"

The Federation appears to have a somewhat strict policy on synthetic life - they possess a whole byzantine web of regulations, categories and tests that determine the level of an AI's development, freedom and thought and have set limits on what is permissible - shackled, limited AI requiring a civilian permit and anything beyond that being allowed to operate only with a rarely-granted permit from the Commission for Synthetic-Organic Synchronicity.
"Naturally, this policy is a product of generations-long political debates and has seen some shifts over time - in the Federation's earliest days it was stricter, then there was actually a period of very liberal relations before the war." is the general gist you get.
The representatives diplomatically avoid treating you any differently from how they treat others here. They also open up towards your proposal for trade posts on Dagda and Eterani after some time being spent in talks and much argumentation on your behalf - the first posts will still be opened in Sol, but they do agree to also follow up with ones in the EFS.

Genetic manipulation has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years on Earth and there are quite a few major corporations working in the field with labs, clinics and offices in Greater London. Designer babies have become popular among the upper and middle classes, though naturally this has also seen a countermovement of naturalists who believe this to be an evil practice. Governments show no outright favor in policy, but it is known that elite military forces have also been investing into practical genetic modification. Gene tailoring overall is still in its growing stages as a science and what's more widespread is genetic healthcare - among the well to do classes many ailments that were once beyond the physician's reach are now within the geneticist's sphere of work.
The more overt genetic modifications are a somewhat touchier subject. It's not so rare to see someone with a quite obviously...unnatural appearance here in London, but such hubs of metropolitan lifestyles have always harbored their odd subcultures, some may say. What's being discussed now is how increased communication and trade with alien species will affect the gene market - and more specifically if there's going to be weirdos who want to look more Zian for instance.

They appreciate the gesture and you strike up some friendships there and then. Mood's been low in the military as of late with no wins to take home, old friend being lost, yet rapidly replaced by streams of new faces - Eurasia's massive population has many millions who'd gladly sign up to earn a better living in any military branch, yet until recently it was fairly hard to get into the fleet for instance, with a lot of competition for a fairly small amount of positions. That's been changing and some lament that the level of quality will suffer. There's hope for success with the new partnerships, especially the Federation, but the few old dogs still left are desperate for a chance to redeem what they see as "Lost Glory".

With diplomacy on Earth wrapped up, you return home to attend to matters there.
The domestic economy has been growing at a good pace, much to your collective delight.

C. With the success of the Titan-Class Super Ore Carrier Revenant Shipyards has come out with a new ship design for the new era of war engulfing humanity! The Titan-Class Super Combat Carrier will make the enemies of humanity quake in their books. It’s armaments would be a massive spine mounted railgun along with point defense lasers. Inside the ship would be a massive 3D Printing foundry that would churn out automated drone fighters to engage the foe. The anti-Gravity drive would help protect the crew of the ship as it’s massive engine flung it forward to speeds never before reached by a manned vessel. It would include all the other amenities of the Titan-Class Super Ore Carrier along with the strongest and thickest armor possible along with the latest shield systems purchased from the Megacorps.

Key in its construction and of the drone fighters would be Plasteel, this alien material is cheap to produce, elastic and very durable.

The Development of Gaia

With Gaia terraformation complete and his colonization started, the planet has become a small colony of the EFS while being at the center of it s heart.
But much like we have done for all our systems we will now properly develop it and make it grow further.

Has follow here is what we will build on It:

- new settlements made by the State
- Government buildings
- vital Infrastructure for the citizenry
- Basic Industry (help development and gives products to the citizens here)
- Basic planet defenses/fortifications and military structures (defenses are both ground and orbital ones)
- Help for the settlers in building their housing and economic activities
- Mines for the rare minerals deposits

We will also start a policy in the planet administration for gather 3 main interests here : creating new settlements, help native companies in the food sector (agriculture, fishing and husbandry) and encourage tourism here.

Investments of other types will be aided and incentivize by the state (new industries and the other economical sectors establishment on the world. Like a player investment)

///

In addition we put forward a minor proposal to build 2 vowgates :
1 eterani - algol (aids navy movement)
1 eterani - jack rabbit (aids internal trade; Jack rabbit received several investments in the past)

With this done all EFS systems will connected with vowgates.

A major infrastructure buildup on Gaia occurs, improving quality of life, access to local resources and creating more room for growth, with settlers from Earth now also choosing Gaia as a destination.

The 22nd of November, 2262.A single alien ship, roughly the size of a heavy cruiser, warps into the Eterani star system - within the range of our outermost Nexus defense systems. It is, however, transmitting signals on open frequencies, in English.

" Local human government, you are visited by a diplomatic representative cruiser of the Stellar Empire. We aim to open a formal dialogue with your authorities."
This short, evidently automatically-translated message, is being looped.

A.Ignore it, they'll go away
B.Destroy the xenos right where they stand
C.Communicate on open frequencies
D.Establish private frequencies for direct communications
E.Invite them over to Selestine for a proper diplomatic meeting

Some messages are exchanged before a direct, private line is established. The cruiser holds its position, several light seconds away from Selestine.

Private transmissions begin.

"We are emissaries of the Stellar Empire. We may be known to you by other names given by our foes, the Federation. Their breach of the Non-intervention agreement first and then their further involvement in human affairs has prompted us to now respond. Despite what you may have been told, it is not our Emperor's will that humankind be subjected to any great harm, as our quarry is with the decadent Federation. Their agents have no doubt been sowing mistrust among you, attempting to turn humans against the Stellar Empire in a desparate bid to to aid the Federation in holding off the march of time and the long-awaited end of their rotten existence. Wisdom and logic dictate that your alignment with them would bring you nothing but suffering as you would be yet another one of many races exploited in the eternal schemes of the Zian."
Briefly, the mechanical speech is cut off, then resumes.
"The Empire is willing to open relations with your state and make proper guarantees of non-aggression and pacts of neutrality with other human states - as we understand, your race is yet to unite as a whole."

What will your government's answer be - further questions, counter-offers, agreement, rejection?

>>4362849
"This is Fleet Admiral Saoirse Gallagher speaking. We have entered into a pact with the Federation due to the raids of multiple human settlements by Alien vessels.
If it wasn't you, then just who has been raiding all our territory?"

>>4362849
"I dunno, I like the Snakes so I'm gonna say no."

>>4362849
“If you are who you claim to be then maybe you can explain the various raids and attacks committed by people who seem to be part of your empire and it’s sphere of influence?”

>>4362849
"As the spymaster of the Eterani Extrasolar State, I wish to propose an exchange of information between us regarding the Federation, as a sign of good faith between our peoples."

>>4362849

"This is Solar Marshall Javier II Deston, could i ask you the reason of entering our system with an heavy cruiser for establish relations with us and do you know already of the raiders that are attacking human space ? Do you have any data about them ?"

>>4362854
"We have heard of these raids. Our investigation shows that the ones responsible are in some cases piratic raiders - a scourge on the less developed sectors of space - and agents of the Federation, orchestrating these attacks to turn your sympathies against us. Human ships began leaving the Human-exclusive designated sector several of your decades ago - some entering Federation space, others Imperial space and others yet into the wild fringes, where they must have attracted the attention of these lawless elements. Know that official Imperial policy towards the Human sector is to match any Federal escalation on the state of neutrality, yet no more."
>>4362859
"The Zian, despite being relatively few in number, have always held great influence over others through their scheming ways - evidently working their tricks upon some of you as well. Such manipulations were one of the prime reasons for our Empire setting forth the great task of bringing down the rotten behemoth once and for all."
>>4362861
"Among the lawless peoples of the fringes are the Drazerii, whose warriors have at times served as mercenary forces for the Empire, that is true - yet they are their own entity, one that can not fully be called a nation-state. Their way is one of war and a pursuit of conflict in all things, through it they find the meaning of life. The only case of Imperial-aligned forces possibly assailing human space would be them - an action of their own free volition and without Imperial consent."
>>4362863
"It is not the policy of the Empire to so easily give away information of strategic value. Talks would have to go into detail on such matters before any action is undertaken."
>>4362882
"This is an armed diplomatic vessel of a medium-range class within our navy used for communication with people such as the Drazerii. Were our intentions hostile, the choice of vessel would be different."

>>4362849


"Tell us more of those who manipulate us."

>>4362890
"Begone foul tongued cretin, you mask violent thuggish intent with a thin veneer of honour."

>>4362890
“Do you know which individuals, nations or organizations We’re venturing out past the borders of the zone decades ago?”

>>4362890
"Disregard the speech of Pennysworth. I will be candid with you, I only care about the safety and wellbeing of my people. Thus, I will work towards that in any way possible. If you can offer us something towards that, more than the Federation can, I will cast my vote with your Empire. In that way of thinking, can I ask of you to reveal more about those so-called Zian?"

>>4362901
"Disregard yourself coward, I do not forgot those murdered on Nigels World."

>>4362890
"Deliver us the cowards who murdered brave souls on Nigel's World you scum."

>>4362894
>>4362901
>>4362901
"The Zian have mastered the arts of deception and manipulation. They dominate the diplomatic corps of the Federation and its bureaucracy, their legal arbiters, their major financial instruments. They embed themselves among the elites of other races and nations, tailoring their very appearance through their mastery of genetic modification so as to be as appealing to their hosts as possible. They can not be trusted."
>>4362899
"Our Empire was visited by both explorers on behalf of private entities and several diplomatic envoys from nations on your homeworld. Though we can not be certain, we believe that pirate attacks upon human colonies primarily target those who entered the lawless sectors - the peoples there are savage and spiteful, clinging to their own and being loathe to relinquish knowledge or wealth."
>>4362919
"We have reason to suspect that the persons in question you speak of were in fact agent-agitators of the Federation, who were the only ones to benefit from the events you mention. It is a tried and tested tactic."
>>4362901
"The Zian have begun their infiltration of human society already. You can see the result with your own eyes."

>>4362919
“This is another matter of concern. Suspected citizens of your empire we’re involved in the murder and bombings at a festival being held on one of our planets. Assisting us in resolving that would help with setting up proper relations.”

Earth proves to be a harsh place for the company. For starters, upkeep - especially in London - is horrific, enough to bankrupt a lesser company. Competition in all spheres that Gallagher-Volk deals in is also heavy and what's worse - megacorps dealing in those sectors have favorable deals cut out with governments which makes it even harder for an outsider to step into the market.
Just about the only things gained from this Earthen enterprise are business experience and new recruits.
>>4358077
Erika gets acquainted with the diplomats, making friends with the Mopalan representative, but finds a more challenging figure in one of the four Zian agents there, who seems quite able to match her in all categories, taking an interest in her abilities. A budding partnership is established.

The government has decided not to take any stance towards the Stareater Empire at the moment.
>>4364145
>>4363872
The Empire widely utilizes shackled AI, you are told. Totally free AI entities are not found in the Empire, but there is no small amount of organics who are augmented, living as cyborgs and in some cases being connected with AI networks. Symbiotic organic-synthetic existence is what the Emperor sees as the future, you are told.

After this, polite farewells are given and the diplomats prepare their ship for exit, departing from the system shortly thereafter.

- 2 G-V Mk.1 Light Cruisers
- 6 Kalibas Destroyers
- 2 Eagle Class Medical Ship
- 6 Cobra Support ship

USAGI have not been seen for some time, their people working diligently in the shadows working upon their secret Project: SAKURA-NET.

Using their fungal asset they have nurtured its natural ability to form a nervous systme like any fingal form but specifically on linking it to mechanical devices and implants in people so that those with the connections may operate similarly implanted devices without controls from weapons to armour and even ships!

Decades of work finally produces something resembling the original vision. SAKURA-NET does indeed work, allowing a properly implanted pilot to interface with a networked machine directly. Multitasking scales the difficulty of such an operation - a single pilot can handle a fighter's controls easily, but a frigate is a bigger beast to tackle - networked teams can be trained to crew larger machines. This operating system holds great potential, though it is not without its risk. The experience affects pilots in differing ways and there are dangers for their health (mostly mental) if pilots spend too much time operating a system or are trying to tackle too many tasks at the same time. Some suffer from sensory overload, others become too immersed and find leaving the network difficult. Properly handled, however, SAKURA-NET can be a great boon to a military.

Plans are already being drawn up to implement it into experimental fighter craft

220 production is used for the fleet expansion.
The ship designers dissuaded the Assembly from going forward with the planned Corvette update, stating that the Finnigan Mk2 model is a ship that simply doesn't have the extra space and power to fit a new railgun onto its existing frame.

Space news!

A joint ICS-Eurasian taskforce met a pirate force preying on outer shipping lanes in Sol. With the help of United Federation advisers, the taskforce was able to defeat and drive the pirates away.
New Cascadia was attacked by a small Drazerii fleet. It defeated the local space forces, raided the planetary colonies for several weeks and then withdrew before the relief force could arrive.
The Stareater Empire has had its presence made known in human space, their diplomats coming into contact with each human nation - Eurasia's pro-Federation leaning led to no agreement coming in their meeting, the Americans made no promises, keeping their options open, whilst the ICS has signed a 5-year neutrality agreement.
United Federation trading ouposts have been established in Sol. Their agents are expected to visit the EFS in the coming months.

Specialized AI development for industrial purposes is supported, from which the budding industry on Gaia will certainly benefit. Some luddites worry they'll be out of jobs now, but hey, that's progress for you.


The REFLEX Fighters debut successfully - pilots are able to display impressive skills in manned speed, maneuverability and combat ability, outperforming typical fighter pilots. Five wings are built for the fleet.

Major Project - Etar City EFS capital (allocate 100 points)

The capital city of Selestine will be reshaped and remade in a worthy capital for a star nation. It will be remade properly thanks to a team of native architects, urbanists and artists. In mind while creating its 3d models we will have human needs, freedom, monumentalism, defense and harmony with nature.

Of note in the city :

- The Industry Quarter, the first quarter that will be made and that will aid in the construction of the city. When the city is complete it s production capacity will aid the EFS greatly with the new industries and factories present here.
- A proper central government structure, called the "Hearth" for his form. It will have additional wings for the solar systems administrations. Beside it there will be the ministries buildings
- The A.E.S. building “Breath”, diplomats from other A.E.S. members can arrive here and be welcome for discussions
- New quarter of Culture and Education (A large quarter that will see the investment to anything related to culture and educational fields)
- Ligotti Plaza (a quarter for the military forces of the EFS, where they will receive several great buildings for command and internal administration, as well for military education and elite training). It will be divided in 3, for the army, navy and ESIA.
- Embassies Quarter. A small quarter divided between the human star nations and the embassies of aliens species that have good relations with us.

We will put a poll for the citizenry to decide its name.
Even if we suggest Etar City, an additional honour to the founder of our home system a man that will always be remembered. A proper capital city should be able to attract more settlers to EFS space, give us some prestige, tourism for its beauty and more trade. Lastly, the unique style of Etar City will be promoted across all the EFS settlements.

The establishment of a proper capital city on Selestine is set as the next major project. Etar City is to be established not too far - some 50km - from the original underground planetary settlement, in an area of natural beauty, with access to freshwater and space to grow. It's a fresh start and with the massive growth rate of our nation it'll fill in quickly enough.

Absolutely no way. Our tradition of keeping PMCs to under 100 men is important in order to avoid to private armies to exist, I would support an increase in the limit number, but not a limitless army. I believe the PMCs associated with the SSS will support me in these words. I do however approve an ethics overseer from the government.

After state investigation revealed that Kalornsen Technologies was in posession of nearly two thousand clone soldiers, being employed as mercenaries in corporate space(primarily Yamada and Amazion) the company was brought to court and now handed a sentence:

IN THE NAME OF THE EXTRASOLAR FREE STATE AND ITS PEOPLE
This Court finds the following:
Kalornsen Technologies has violated the Oversight and Security Act of 2211 and the Universal Lifeform Rights Act of 2227. The serial production of clones, bred and raised in a practice equivalent to slavery, for the purpose of serving as soldiers is a violation of their fundamental human rights. A force of nearly two thousand armed men being kept under the employ of a single private entity violates clearly violates the OSA, although the circumstances of their being deployed outside the nation and not acting as a present danger is taken into consideration.
Kalornsen technologies is sentenced to paying a fine of [-10 IP] and to disband the clone army.

Meanwhile across the nation, a more modern law enforcement system splitting planets into police precincts and districts, with rural areas retaining the sheriff system. Old sheriffs in urban areas will be forming the core of the new police force.

Construct a massive array of Solar Mirrors satellites to reflect solar energy, after completion they will be towed into orbit around Planet Boyne, a Class II planet in the William System which is an ice world with a primitive atmosphere of some oxygen but mostly nitrogen. With some simple global warming the atmosphere will quickly turn to breathable and the whole world will allow for open human habitation. The gravity is 1.1G of Earth making it more than ideal for habitation along with having abundant rare earth minerals and volatiles.

Two laws Proposal

Law of Government aid on economical and social matters

This law will be an help to the citizenry, and will incentivize economical/educational development. It will be reserved to ones in dire need for bring them to the good road of our forefathers (many of them started in dire situations. We want to avoid that any of our citizenry is in such state), giving them the possibility to create their own lives and happiness. When they reach the end of their road of development (economical security, good education and in good health. As well making stable relations), they will be incentivize with a growth population policy. (strict measures will be put for avoid misuse of the founds for this law. We suggest a 5 upkeep. Should prove beneficial in the long run)

Laws of Soldier Aid

This law will approve an improved payment to the EFS military personal, improved pension, payed prosthetics in case of loss of limbs (as other medical cures), assisted help in returning to civilian society, and a few economical/educational incentives after the return from campaigns.
This will be done for the heroic service of the men's and women's that have decide to put their lives in danger for the EFS.

On a minor note :
- Monuments for different soldiers, will be made around the EFS systems. Not just the most know but even ones that simply did their duties and in what they did helped the EFS a lot in his battles.
- Brief studies of their lives will be made and distributed to the citizenry. Not just for remember them, but for inspiration.

(We suggest a 5 upkeep. Much like the previous law this will be beneficial with time)
>>4364585

Solar Marshall Javier II Deston will oversee the integration of this men in the army. Even if observation and control of them will be' done before the integration starts. The Marshall suggest the integration process to last 5 years at least, for being sure.

Of course this can be allowed only by the federal government first.

New welfare programs are instated in the EFS. The clone soldiers of Bjorn Kalornsen, now left without a job and with few marketable skills outside of soldiering would first return to the EFS and then deliberating on what to do. About a hundred returned to corporate space, back into familiar fighting grounds with the same corporate handlers. Several hundred would attempt to enter civilian lives, but most - around fifteen hundred of them - accepted the offer to enter the Free State's army forces. Per the Solar Marshall's orders they would be retrained and integrated, being dispersed among the standing regiments of the army rather than kept as one unit.

In foreign news, a change in government in the Pavonid Union has seen the nation drawing closer to Eurasia and the United Federation.

Trade posts of the United Federation are now present in the Lugus, Tawagata and Eterani systems. Friendly alien ships are now a not so infrequent sight and a trade lane has been established - for now, it mostly transports visitors back and forth as a clearer picture of the nature of supply and demand is yet to be established.

Naval Maneuvers and the new 5 year Plan

Our fleet is old and getting older, some designs have been in use for half a century. If the Extrasolar State is to remain a powerful one, we must modernise and modernise quickly. Old Designs shall be scrapped, new ones drawn up and strategies developed. This will take 5 years to do so.

As it is the 70th anniversary of the Boggdanoff invasion we shall conduct naval manoeuvres with the ICS, and invite them to a feast in a plain of grassfields and some trees in Selestine. We will display the modernized fleet in orbit and use this occasion to improve our relations with our old ally.

/////


Old Designs to be Scrapped :

- Finnigan Corvettes Mk I (Corvettes to be phased out of Fleet Doctrine)

- G-V Frigate Mk II-III-IV

- Calibas Destroyers Mk I


Due to their high death rate, the new fleet doctrine will phase out Corvettes in favour of a heavier fleet. Those Corvettes not retired shall be reduced to patrol and garrison duty.
Due to their ineffectiveness in the recent space conflict, the Red Earl starfighters and Black Prince starbombers wings will be given to the army for planet warfare uses.

While our carriers will receive 50 wings of the Calega Mk I drone starfighter.
New Designs


- Dagda Class Frigate Mk I
Will replace the old II-III-IV, G-V frigates. It's made to be fast, manoeuvrable,and built for long-endurance.

Technical info =
- Ion Thruster Sublight Engines
- Blue Laser Batteries are on the flanks surfaces, while a large blue laser cannon is built inside the frigate center.
- Reinforced Ceremite Armor
- Point Defence is placed in 6 parts of the ship to cover it from all points.
- Improved Sensors and life Support systems (escape pods/crew quarters)


- Calibas Destroyers Mk II
With new insights gained the Calibas Destroyers will be remodeled because of their old design type.

Technical info =
- The railgun will be a large spinal weapon built inside them.
- Their laser and autocannons batteries are modernized and put mostly in the frontal part of the ship, while missile batteries will be placed on the back.
- Their heavy armor will be also updated and deflectors shields will be added.


- Drone starfighter Calega mk.I
It's modeled after a new design made by the CSP, fleet knowledge and the Gallagher-Volk corporation.

This drone starfighter is made to be relatively cheap to build while also being a high threat in battle. It's of a slightly larger size of a Red Earl starfighter. The Calega has 4 wings attached to the main body that is of a cylindrical shape.


1/2

>>4368107
Technical info =
- Medium armour
- a large engine with additional thrusters
- drone computers in central positions to avoid major damage.
- 1 missile pack at the center of each wing. With each 25 missiles.
- 2 small autocannon in front of the cylindrical shape.


Specifications

The main central engine is built in a line in the cylindrical shape. Near the central engine additional thrusters are placed

The main computer is at the center of the cylindrical shape while 1 additional small computer is each in the center of their respective wings (the computers are needed for combat, communication and organization between the drone starfighters wings).

Batteries are placed inside the cylindrical shape of the drone starfighter.


If is not clear what exactly will happen here a small tldr :
- 70th year celeberation of Boggdanof invasion
- Dagda Frigate Mk I, is the new frigate template. Older ones don't exist anymore and are scrapped, same for the ships. 8 Dagda Mk I are made in their place
- Calibas Destroyer Mk II, is the new destroyer template. The current Calibas Destroyers we have are remade with the new descriptions. (They are 6)
- The Calega Drone starfighter Mk I, is the first EFS drone starfighter. It s made for the purpose of replacing the absence of red earls and black princes, and avoid the great cost of reflex starfighters. 50 wings have been made.
- Red Earls and Black Princes wings leave the navy and go in the army.
- Our 3 light carriers receive the Calega drone starfighter 50 wings.
-All to be done over 5 years

A major military rearmament begins. Some old ships are used as a basis for retrofits, some are scrapped while others are disarmed and auctionned off, whilst a few are kept as training vessels for young cadets. As their last act of service before all this, they participate in the 70th anniversary fleet maneuvers, in which the ICS brings its few remaining relic ships as well, whilst also showing off a new design - the Martian Titan, designated as a heavy carrier, featuring state of the art gravitational systems, thick armor, shields and a massive railgun - and that's all without its own dronefighters. The people enjoy the show, safe at home, a few of the very elderly reminiscing of the days in the nation's infancy and the first war, with some forty veterans attending the maneuvers and celebrations.

The cost of the current program is 369 production in total. 85 production per turn is the budget set for the program, so as not to overwhelm the budget and economy.

IP+7 to Gallagher-Volk for a major government program, +2 to CSP.


Speaking of veterans and venerable members of society, recent advances in biology have created practical, marketable vitality-boosting treatments, a modern elixir of youth so to say - they come in a variety of forms and allow for both longer and livelier lifespans for those who use them - there has been no confirmed case of a human reaching 150 years of age yet, but one veteran of chinese politics, now 140 years old, is looking at the prospect of being the first with the help of these modern treatments.

(Life expectancy among your characters may increase, with the effects of age being somewhat mitigated if they take such treatments - available in an Amazion GeneClinic near you!)

With the violent attacks upon human colonies and taking inspiration from what the defeated Reich did in Asgard, we should take measures for the safety of our population and assets. here is how we will do it.

- Across our planets and moon settlements, we will build a series of : Bunkers and Vaults connect by an Underground Networks.
- Near them there will be military underground storages and civilian ones for food and water, and other first necessities. - Small underground geothermal stations will give energy autonomy to this locations.

On the surface instead for give a better defense and protection to our population, small fortified posts for the planet militias will be made. They will serve has local points of defense and will aid the escaping of civilians in case of war.

Exploratory runs in the space between our systems bring good tidings - several resource rich systems, two class IV worlds with primitive local life and plenty of systems with, if nothing else, helium and/or volatile supplies for refueling engines.
The companies contracted to expand planetary safety systems have been working well and at a good pace - and now it's clear that it's coming in handy as the latest reports from New Perth confirm several news cycles' worth of conspiracies - alien invaders have breached the outer defenses of the system without fighting, making their way to the planetary surface.
Through autotranslators they have transmitted questions, threats and challenges - demanding to face the "Famed Ozzi warriors" and "Whatever else this tribal union can send".
Landings in rural areas have been confirmed. The only clashes so far have been with a local militia force that rallied to throw the invaders out, quickly decimated. A series of farming communities have been taken over, the fate of the citizenry there being as of yet unknown.

As further challenge to the authorities of the planet and nation, the alien invaders have sent out images of butchered cows - and, hours later, the following threat, not for the faint of hear:

File: Drazerii.jpg (189 KB, 956x1400)

189 KB JPG

Within several days, the crisis on New Peth was resolved. It turned out to be a small-scale invasion of about a thousand warriors of the Drazerii race, using three of their ships. They occupied several ranches and spent days feasting off the local supplies and forcing the farmers to teach them about the human ways. During that time they also launched numerous attacks on the militia, but the latter were dug in at a line of fortifications due north, refusing to engage in open battle. Recon runs of local fighter craft were shot down by superior alien firepower and the prospect of battle seemed a costly one, with orbital bombardment being also at the risk of killing many hostage civilians. An unlikely solution was proposed - challenging the aliens to a game of Futureball. There was nothing to be lost, so the message was sent out. Surprisingly, the aliens accepted.
Calling on the help of the Free State's greatest living coach - the venerable Box Bowser (present through holo projection) an All-Star team of the best Army, Navy, Marine and [REDACTED] players were assembled and prepared for the game. Through much hardship, they emerged with a narrow victory over the physically larger, intimidating foes. This sowed respect among the aliens for what they perceived as the finest warriors of the human race - for daring to stand against them on an open field, in close quarters combat (of a sort) - and consequently feasted, exchanged gifts and then left the system.

Casualties of the crisis:
97 cows
5 fighter craft
Unknown amount of beer and moonshine
10 local militia killed, several dozen wounded
Most members of the All-Star team hospitalized after the game
Fleet's supply of crayons exhausted
Local farmer by the name of Robert gone missing, reportedly having joined the aliens as a Futureball coach and human culture instructor
