HEAR YEE HEAR YEE

As role play is wrapping up, I feel it probably a good thing to, as on previous pages, post a summary of events to tie up everything nice and official.

For those following I thought it may be a good place to post a summary of treaties worked out and diplomatic offerings that have been offered. I noticed a number of teh recent posts have the "OOC such and such treaty offered."
thought now would be a good time to list them all together here before moving on,.

[Rogue 9]

I have agreed to nothing with anybody at the present juncture, however that may change. Nashtar will always pursue trade agreements, however trade does nothing for you mechanically in the rules.

[VX-145]

Endeavour so far only has an official agreement with the Theophanic Empire. The terms were mutual non-aggression, freedom of movement for people and goods, a basic recognition of territory, something about preventing further planetary destruction incidents and an agreement to split Symmachia. Similar agreements are on the table for everyone else, though the various Endeavour peoples present at the conference have yet to make that offer IC.

As an aside, once the conference is finished, the general consensus amongst players seems to be a small time-skip into turn 2, with some intermission posts to set up various plot threads. That would be a good time to jump into the game, if any lurkers/inactive players are interested

[Elheru Aran]

Likewise, the Theophanics only have an official agreement with Endeavour.

The Cradle of the Stars situation with the pirate attack has led to a temporary mutual understanding of peace/ceasefire at least until the resolution of the diplomatic meeting aboard Dystropos.

The Theophanic diplomatic attitude towards other nations, at the moment, is mostly "huh, really, you guys exist? ...well okay. Khajit Emperoress has wares, if you have coin?" and "we'll play nice if you'll play nice."

[Crossroads Inc.]

I think right now we are moving into the "We have made contact , now we can explore the larger galaxy" side of things, and "treaties" at this point are more:
"We can move freely between one another [Within reason] without stepping on toes [obviously more civilian and diplomatic exchanges]

Yes, 'trade' agreements do not do anything mechanically in the game, but offer good openings for possible additional story possibilities between groups in terms of cultural exchange.

More Official for a moment, the bulk of my "diplomatic offers" basically boil down to an offer of open borders that will be ratified officially by the UISC council at a later date (since the captain attending obviously does not have legal authority to make treaties, but just to pass along offers given to him by higher up.

[Crossroads Inc.]

I know we did a short summary, but I felt the need to type up things for me in a bit more detail, just touching on the key points of action. Also putting down things I haven't DIRECTLY RP'ed out, but assuming "have taken place" as we are moving on to chapter 2, chiefly the Thunderbird leaving the area and limping back to its original destination of Zozo at Zenar Minor.

UISC END OF TURN SUMMARY:

The crew of the Thunderbird, en route to the colony of Zozo experienced a malfunction in their FTL Drive and was pushed off course. By the time emergency shut down was initiated, the ship had exited near the Nebular where Theophoric forces had arrived.

Shortly there after a Dreadnought exited from netherspace and was heavily damaged. The ship was quickly put under attack by Pirate forces.

Responding to signals in the area, both Nashtar and Endeavor forces investigated followed by Holy Empire forces.

After observing the battle enough to ascertain that majority of forces were working in conjunction against the pirates, the Thunderbird engaged in battle as well helping to mop up remaining pirate activities.

Upon ceasing of battle, communications was established with forces in the area, explaining their arrival due to drive malfunction. After coordinating with Endeavor forces, repairs were started on the ships FTL Drive.

Shortly around the same time, a diplomatic gathering was offered to allow new forces to open lines of communication more official.

The crew of the Thunderbird attended the party, had a delightful time, and extended authorization for future communication and discussions of diplomatic treaties at a future date.

The ship was escorted out of the Nebula by Endeavor forces and made it's way back to Zozo where it unloaded a number of remaining items it was trans porting to the colony.

[Elheru Aran]

A helpful timeline for anybody desiring a general idea of the history of the STGOD 'verse. Requests for specifics should be directed towards the parties involved.

[Rogue 9]

Just a hair bit of context for Ambassador Rraskrarr's reference at the conference.

[VX-145]

Related to my last story post:

[Rogue 9]

The Orion Dominion

I: First Contact within “The Sector”

The Holy Empire of Haruhi Suzumiya

Encyclopedia Galactica, edition #ERROR 754 NaN [data field corrupted; please consult your local information archeologist or G-ISBN repository]:

Khemplar & the Great Khemplar State
Order of Battle, Jayne's Guide, ed. #ERROR 754 NaN

I have tagged you all because I see that you've either been active in the game previously or have logged onto the board in the last couple of days, and would like to see if you're still interested. The game isn't dead yet; we just had a lull.

[Rogue 9]

Also, in case it matters to anybody, the relief force that arrived at Barrier consisted of:

CL-13 NRS Unbent
CL-14 NRS Unbowed
DD-025 NRS Atria
DD-026 NRS Girtab
DD-028 NRS Naos
FF-021 NRS Virgil Earp
FFS-012 NRS Obsidian

This leaves DD-027 NRS Aludra holding orbit at the base at Joyous Gard.

[Eternal_Freedom]

I'm still kicking, I just haven't written anything yet since my faction is pretty insular (and moderately xenophobic) and the events to date have been far from our territory.

That being said, if anyone wants to have an explorer ship stumble across Orion space, let me know. I've mentally cut my fleet list down somewhat given how expensive my dreadnoughts and battlecruisers were, so I'm down to six and twelve respectively, rather than twelve and twenty-four.

Also I'm mentally revising a few societal things, so now my guys are grown as (deliberately imperfect, to allow growth/development) clones of original templates so it's "Name-number," but the truly exceptional ones get to be a new template and chose a name to become "Xanos-1" for example.

[VX-145]

Sounds good, I might have someone poke that way in the next couple posts. I've been holding off since I thought you were out, but in-game events make it logical to have explorers kicking around again.

[Eternal_Freedom]

Of course I may need to re-read various people's summarys since it's been a while since I checked them.

[VX-145]

That's fair enough. The tl;dr version is Endeavour are nerdy anarchists with an Evangelion obsession, Nashtar is a relatively normal representative democracy with a focus on trade, and the Theophanic Empire is an aristocratic feudal nation with worryingly large ships.

[Eternal_Freedom]

Pfft, democracies, like Orion gives a damn about that

[Rogue 9]

They don't have to give a damn about that as long as they do give a damn about not attacking Nashtar's shipping or territory.

[Eternal_Freedom]

Like I said in the original planning thread, Orion won't start a fight, but we will finish it.

The sole exception, of course, is if you have any connection to the Lazari

[Rogue 9]

I don't believe I do, however in the region there is the matter of the planet-that-should-not-be in the wilds of the nebula codenamed Tortuga. Nashtar knows of its existence from captured pirates, but has yet to determine its coordinates, partly because they don't quite believe it could actually be in with a bunch of blue giants. Could such a phenomenon be connected to the ancient Lazari or their enemies? Who can say?

[Eternal_Freedom]

Good point. Once I learn of this I shall have to dispatch a battle squadron to investigate. We do have considerable experience with unexpected habitable worlds around blue giants (good old Skaro) after all.

[VX-145]

Feel free to jump in from my last, E_F; the idea is that some of the scouts will stumble into your territory. I can also do the actual... stumbling part, if need be, but figured I'd leave the initative with you.

[Eternal_Freedom]

Well I did say I had deep-space sensor networks, so perhaps I will dispatch a rapid-reaction force to investigate.

[VX-145]

Quick question, E_F, do you have a full ship list/ORBAT hanging about somewhere? Also, the STGOD channel on the SDnet discord is still active if you want to pop in there from time to time - though it's not essential.
