Initial Thought: Interest in galactic situation perked
Query: Pendleton Situation, No material gain for participants apparent, Reasons for engagement?
Awaiting: Explanation of hostilities
Current Declaration: Neutrality
Future Declaration: Favors Pendleton
Reasoning: Weakness of state against Opposition, Question ability of Opposition to work in unity after operation
Emotion: Confusion
Musing: If the alliance of the Opposition cannot find a common ground after Pendleton's defeat the fracture of the alliance could spin the galaxy into chaos. This is unacceptable. Existence of a common enemy state provides more incentive for cooperation than the destruction of said state.
Response: Emissary will be sent
Request: Safe passage and allowance of observation
Final Thought: When perched upon the precipice one must not shout too loudly or invite an avalanche.

Private thoughts: Youngsters these days are full of fire and pride. But their short-sightedness will be their undoing.


OoC note: Since everyone and their brother is talking about this, including Siege over open airwaves I assume that the operation against Pendleton is common knowledge. If this is not the case I will rescind this post.

Dear Madame President,

Her Majesty's government would like to thank you for increasing the United Solarian Star Force's presence in Wild Space, and would like to formally offer the aid of the Royal Interstellar Navy's warships in the region, should your government require it, provided of course that such aid does not impinge upon the Empire's good relations with other local political entities.

Good day Mr. Secretary,

President Sinclair wishes you to know that your offer is appreciated, but at this time the consensus between myself, the USMC Overwatch, the USSF Convocation and the CBI is that it is unnecessary to take you up on it.

As a token of our appreciation however I will have copies of any fleet reports pertinent to the affairs of the Altacar Empire sent to your office.

FROM: The Unified Assembly for the Management of Diplomatic Relations with External Political Entities (AMDExt) on behalf of the Interstellar Union of Worlds (ISU)
TO: Lord Baden-Gray, Foreign Secretary of New Anglia

The members of the qualified and elected assemblies have reviewed the situation in sector A19 and have reached the following conclusions;
1. In keeping with the ethical principles of the Union, the enslavement of intelligent species cannot and will not be tolerated.
2. The Pendleton regime deliberately enables and harbours slavers.
3. The Union will therefore not recognize the Pendleton regime as a legitimate state.
4. With the cooperation of the Anglian political apparatus, the Union will dispatch an expeditionary force of the following composition: <a few cruisers>

We wish your people well.

RE: Notice of Transit

On behalf of the entire Republic I thank you for informing us that you intend to pass so close to a combat zone occupied by our nation's vessels. We do not anticipate any trouble for any vessels passing near that sector. Current intelligence indicates that neither Ripoblus nor Dimok forces have any faster than light drives more capable than the Heim drive. That said we are ready to assist should their be trouble of any sort in the region.

Sincerely,
Admiral Azerius

The Grand Dominion despises the institution of chattel slavery and will in no way hinder coalition operations. However over, the Grand Dominion wishes for assurance that the independence of Pendleton post liberation will occur. The Grand Dominion would hate for the liberation turn into something that could be perceived as a landgrab by the Dominionite public.

The Commune is supporting abolitionism across the Galaxy, even coming from more primitive formations. Regrettably, the Commune is extremely averse to war, for our citizens are immortal but not invincible, and has a duty to safeguard its citizens. However, the Commune can offer some members of the Coalition advanced nanorobots for medical treatment - war is a bloody affair and it is our wish that this humble gift would help lower the casualties.

Please forgive us for not assisting this effort with direct application of our military potential. We hope for your understanding.

BRAGULAN BROADCAST TO ALL STAR NATIONS
From the People's Department of Limited Foreign Interaction and Human Affairs

The Imperator has decreed that, due to the petty squabbles of faraway puny human nations and the subsequent suspicious Sovereignty naval deployments in and around the Wilder Space border regions, Bragulan Maritime Military Space Fleet forces will also be elevated in and around the area to enforce the great Bragulan people's most patriotic territorial integrity from any future human deprivations.

The Bragulan Star Empire likewise declares that the impending conflict in and around the puny human nation of Pendleton is of no concern. However, the Imperator notes that the human star nation of the Grand Dominion seems to be the only human star nation bearing a modicum's iota of intellect - as any despicable human attempt at land-grabbing puny Pendleton will be found most displeasing.

The Imperator thus concurs that the insignificant independence of puny Pendleton must be guaranteed post-destruction, whenever hostilities cease after the prerequisite levels of destruction have been achieved.

From: Elliot Britavish, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Iduran Confederation
To: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of The Commune

Considering our proximity, the Iduran Confederation is interested in pursuing friendly diplomatic and trade relations with The Commune.

I understand that The Commune employs nanotechnology extensively and wishes for their diplomats to have access to it as well. For your convenience, I have attached a summary of Iduran Confederation standard policy on the use of nanotechnology. I hope it will be amenable to both of our nation's diplomatic envoys.

The Iduran Confederation's policy on the use of nanotechnology is similar to that of its restrictions on the use of genetic and biological engineering and dealing with infectious agents: use is permitted so long as both a basic and appropriate level of containment and isolation is practiced. (OOC: See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosafety_level#Levels and scale appropriately.)

Examples:
For something as simple and routine as, say, medical nanobots (such as those used for anti-agathics), the room would probably simply need (say) a closable door that can be charged so that it is difficult for medical nanobots to exit the room if the door was closed and charged. Individuals administering such treatments should wear basic face and hand protection and be trained in the appropriate fields.


For something like construction or destruction of macroscopic objects via nanotechnology, the area in which work is to be done is to be fully contained, with all entrances and exits to the room closed and electrically/hermaticly sealed while work is being done. All work should be done by individuals trained in the appropriate fields and wearing appropriate protection.


For something as dangerous as development or storage of nano-swarms used as weapons of destruction, (colloquially called gray or red goo), drastic safety measures would be expected to be taken. These include protective and fully self-contained suits for all of the (fully trained) researchers, negative air pressure filtration of the entire facility, multiple types of decontamination rooms, and interlocked airlock doors to prevent any spread of a rouge form of the weapon.

From: Her Majesty's Foreign Office
Subject: Medical assistance at Pendleton

In spite of the Commune's stance towards the Altacar Empire, Her Majesty's government would like to extend its thanks to the Commune for its offer of medical aid, and would be delighted to accept any shipments of Commune nanorobots. This message has been routed via our embassy in the Technocracy of Umeria, and Her Majesty's representative there has been ordered to negotiate on Her Majesty's behalf for the nanorobots, should your government be willing to negotiate. If the Commune wishes to negotiate with Her Majesty's government directly, please find attached all the relevant Warp Gate Protocols.

Her Majesty looks forward to your response, and hopes that our shared interests may lead to improved relations, in spite of the Commune's current hostility to the Altacar Empire's mode of government and current economic policies.

The Commune has recently authorized the distribution of the simplest medical nanorobots in our inventory to other nations without any charge. However, nations with monarchic governments are excluded from the list of possible recipients. In the light of scarcity of nanorobotic medicines, the Commune government selects more progressive nations. We can advise your goverment to enact social reforms or order nanomedicines from other nations which are in posession of such technology.

The Technocracy of Umeria expresses its sympathies in the recent terraforming problems faced by the Republic.

However, we question the findings of your ecologists that a "communist space geese" threat is responsible for these problems. We further question their belief that such geese have established bases in Umerian territory.

We request that you send samples of your suspected "space goose" tissue to the Ministry of Ecology, and allow time for a thorough analysis of the results, before any discussion of joint operations in against any alleged "space goose" installations in Umerian territory.

Until such time as the "alien communist space geese" threat is confirmed, the Ministry of Security has instructed me to inform you that the pre-existing Umerian policy on armed incursions into Umerian territory remains in place.
