Battle for Earth Strikes Back! (Map Game)

The year is 1965. The Cold War is at a hot point. America is tied up in the Vietnam War, sparking the hippie movement. Meanwhile, the Beatles have struck big in Europe and America. The Space Race is in full swing. The motivation to explore space is high, though if anyone knew what was out there, mankind would happily stay on Earth.

In July, Mariner 4 flew by Mars and discovered something shocking: a lone spacecraft of unknown origins flying toward the Red Planet. The craft impacted on Mars and exploded. Fingers pointed at the Russians, but the Russians denied the capability of this. Attempts to get to the craft began immediately. Little did humanity know they were stepping into affairs beyond them ...

Welcome to Battle for Earth Strikes Back, a reboot of the BFE map game series.

1965.5
LET THE GAMES BEGIN

'I want to add one more thing. Be realistic with the way you interact with the humans. Do not automatically align your alien nation with your human one.'


 * Mech Network: A signal from an ancient artifact is discovered. The artifact, a relic from the Phantom Empire called The Forge, was last seen above Earth, where it crashed in the Yucatan Peninsula 64 MYA. It is likely to be a power fluctuation, but all readings and simulations from the Mechs indicate that power tics were supposed to have stopped half a million years after The Forge's destruction. The cause of this power fluctuation is to be investigated.
 * YES! I feel like honestly crying!
 * A Centrian Attack fleet picks a supposedly empty system in sector V29 for a set of military exercises; only to find a sentient race inhabiting the system. Analyzing the race's transmissions, it is found that these 'humans' are a divided race, possessing basic nuclear technology and space travel to the upper atmosphere. Corufrey is notified of these events, and the 68th Grand Fleet is mobilized to the system- taking care such that the humans do not notice them.
 * Praetorian Empire We discover a system with a small, but highly advanced for its size, civilisation. We send the third uplifter fleet to the system, careful that the humans do not notice us. The plan is to land on the most hostile landmass with sentients, as we need to have the ability to uplift them, and remain hidden. We also send infiltrators with the fleet, to take human form and guide human governments.
 * Australia: A space program is begun, and a location for the research base is selected, deep in the out back, but is not used as of yet.
 * Dravimosian Empire:


 * January: The Empire detects a spaceship crash in an uncharted system that is known to have a sentient species in it. The Empire and its military organizes a small scout force to investigate. A few small economic reforms are established to ensure better trade amongst the races of the Empire.
 * February: The Empire lets slip in a state dinner that negotiations with the Brudahka are progessing at a nice pace. As a result, many complaints are issued from embassies at the Empire's capital. The military increases security at the negotiation site to prevent any nation from tampering with the negotiations.
 * March: The scout fleet of seven frigates, two diplomatic ships, and one research vessel reach the outskirts of the system. They remain well outside the Oort Cloud at the time being. The military capture twenty-seven Polarans on a derelict ship and send them to the Polaran Reconstruction Government for medical treatment and rehabilitation.
 * Soviet Union:


 * January: The Soviet Union continues its space program, and notices an anomaly outside of Mars. When that anomaly crashes into Mars, the government demands to know what it is. An inability to answer results in demands of a Mars space probe mission.
 * February: Military upgrades continue. Nuclear testing continues.
 * March: By now many governments want to know what the anomaly on Mars was. Warsaw Pact nations nervously ask if it was the Soviet Union while capitalist nations angrily demand to know. Both groups of nations are told the same answer: the Soviet Union has no idea what is going on.
 * Japan: Japan builds up its Self Defence Forces. Meanwhile, Takuya Yokoyama begins writing a manga called Satori Maiden, and the main character of the manga is Satori Komeiji.
 * Oriental Hermit Republic: Prime Minister Kyōzhou Arimoto begins plans to explore outside of the Oriental Hermit's Domain. The military is built up.
 * Sith Empire: the high judge of the empire is declared insane after suffering from an unknown decease. a slave revolt happens on dromund kaas.
 * Yeah, that's not happening. I know Star Wars lore too.
 * Lol. I was gonna wait to see his next move. Yay for the Old Republic
 * The Regenetech Empire continues its normal affairs. Intelligence reports a crash in the nearby Sol System, infamous in Regen legend (rhyme time!) as the Forsaken Zone, a system where the powers of the Force are disrupted. Despite the hard work of millimillenia, only a few individuals are known to possess galaxy-wide Force powers, and each of them is trained in Regen style hand-to-hand combat to be leaders in an upcoming galactic war predicted by the Senate. Legendary Senator Deo Floqre dies, ending a centuries-old peace between the Baurnbims and Koskar zibbens.
 * Scraw. You just deleted the post above for the same reason. 'The Force', Scraw? The Force? 
 * That was Crim, and a name is different from a thing. There's no "these aren't the droids you're looking for," just telekinesis. For lack of a better name. If I translate it, it probably becomes Gwerferferrvfibrvekhfrkn jrefdnkjefwvscd or something.
 * Wondrous.
 * US does whatever it was doing OTL 1965. However, the recent event spotted on Mars by Mariner 4 is rather strange. The government keeps this a close guarded secret and quietly asks the Soviet government if they are the perpetrators responsible for this incident. However, the news that the Communists are also at a lost is accepted by the United States, which then proceeds to redirect funds into the space program, while adding more funding to the Mariner and Apollo projects.
 * Rasheen Kingdom: So far we have found on our travels across the vast space, nothing more than small planets and asteroids with resources, but we haven't found any sign of advanced sentient races. However, our Scout Fleet recently detected weak yet multiple (and different) energy signatures traveling through the subspace to what it seems to be an Uncharted Area ... the fleet led by the Scout Ship RFS Khöja is decided to find out the origin of such signatures, so after sending a messenger ship back to Arr-Rota to inform its findings, the fleet is on its way towards the closest located point of origin of these signatures. We must be careful, we don't know what we may find.
 * Argentina: President Arturo Umberto Illia government has dedicated most of the national budget to education (23%), reducing medicine prices, controlling National Petroleum (1963) and sustain an economic policy dedicated to regulate the public sector while impulsing the Industries and protecting the minimum wage for the workers, however, President Illia has found multiple problems from political Enemies mostly Peronist (which party is proscripted`) and the military leadership, attached to the "National Security Doctrine", which seeks preventing the expansion of left politicial ideas and military guerrillas in the country.
 * In India, PM Shastri announces a modernization plan for India's infrastructure. Meanwhile, the events on Mars spark interest in founding a proper space program in India.
 * Canada: We do whatever we where doing OTL 1965. We ask the USA if we can merge our space programs so that we can reach the moon earlier then the Reds. We start a research program to improve hydraulic energy and to make it more reliable.
 * Holy Protectors of Kryantychog (I will use HPK from now on, OK?): Mighty Kryantychog enlighten our high-priest with a vision of a small advanced civilization somewhere in the outskirts of an space arm. We send a scout to this star to see if they are potential followers of Kryantychog.
 * Meridan Consul: A series of domestic economic programs are enacted to increase the productivity of our developed planets. Jobs are offered by the government to millions of citizens, creating large infrastructural projects across the Core Systems. In the region of Meridian on Monsmanu the cities of Xerstalinus and Vitaverna are revamped with sprawling skyscrapers of non-Euclidean geometry. Older, smaller buildings in the region of Incipientes are planned to be replaced by huge housing units, hoping to reduce crowded overpopulation. A commission for the creation of thirteen more shipyards per core region planet is passed, hoping to increase our production of star ships. A new line of Space Carriers known as the Atlos-class is created, measuring about 30% longer in length than the previously standard Xherlygh-class. The Atlos-class will be armed with about the same firepower as a battleship, as well as carrying about two hundred ninety-five fighter ships. The new class of ships immediately goes into production. Mass production of battleships, battlecruisers, and destroyers also continues, to adequately protect our carrier fleets. Rather than spread out across the galaxy, we adopt a colonization strategy of settling all nearby planets first, tapping into all celestial bodies within our power, within our immediate area. Large sections of our fleet are stationed to protect the outskirts of our territory in regional bases, standing by to protect mining operations across the nation. Shipments of ores and other resources begin to reach all corners of the nation, as our large mining ships tap into once unreachable asteroids and other targets. We send peaceful envoys to chart the nearby galaxy. A diplomat is sent to Cy’ral Federation and the Dravimosian Empire to discuss a trade agreement. We also contact the Firstborn and ask for a non aggression pact.
 * The Caborr State sends a few small support vessels to accompany the Dravimosian fleet. Some of the leading xenologists and linguists are sent, to further analyze the species.

'''So ... shall we start a new turn?'''

1965.75
 The Soram State, whose ship crash landed on Mars three months ago, send a small fleet to the Sol system, staying outside Pluto's orbit. 

 'The Firstborn (damn it, Pita) mobilize their forces at the gaffe of the Dravimosian Emperor two months ago. They accept the non-aggression pact of the Meridians.' 


 * Mechs: A scout fleet is mobilized as the location of The Forge is pinpointed to a star system. Further scans occur from Mech Space as the scout fleet leaves Mech Space at a speed under FTL to avoid drawing attention to their hyperspace signatures near Mech Space.


 *  Promethean Diplomacy:  We ask for the Mech Network to join our quest to save the galaxy from a potential threat: the humans. In exchange we will secure the Forge and hand it over to you.
 * Nobody knows the Mechs even still exist right now.
 * Humans ... a threat. You're FUNNY!
 * Japan: Japan builds up its Self Defense Forces. Meanwhile, Takuya Yokoyama continues writing a manga Satori Maiden.


 * Chinese Diplomacy: We ask for the people of Japan to join an emergency meeting at the UN.
 * Oriental Hermit Republic: Prime Minister Kyōzhou Arimoto continues plans to explore outside of the Oriental Hermit's Domain and begins to have a fleet prepared. The military is built up.
 * Promethean Empire: We begin a massive arms buildup and a massive invasion force to Earth after half a year ago detecting Sol, believing that the humans should they continue their current path, will share the same fate as our empire. Our fleets head for Praetorian Space and begin attacking their fringe worlds and as our fleet arrives on Sol, we decide to send a few ships to capture the Lunar base the Praetorians have as a staging area for our invasion. (Algo help, please) The rest of the fleet enters Earth orbit and prepares to nuke the planet. SECRET: The true intentions of our invasion remain simple:enslave the humans for our own purposes. We also send some infiltration units to Earth to test our new mind control technology on key world leaders, starting with the Soviet leadership.

'''It takes a turn to travel there. Also, no destroying Earth.'''

'''Well, he can try. He just won't succeed. '''

'''Have I missed something? He has a fleet set up outside Earth, in orbit, with thousands of nukes, yet he won't succeed ... '''

'''He has a couple of dozen ships. I'm going to destroy his fleet and home world next turn. My fleets have 5000 each. And I have 700 of them.'''


 * (As Centrians) PROMETHEANS! CEASE AND DESIST YOUR VILE ATTEMPTS TO DESTROY THE THIRD PLANET FROM MOSTREV! After we all reach a consensus on what to do with them you may return to your self-destructive follies.
 * China: We continue whatever we are doing in OTL 1965 just like the Americans. We call for an emergency meeting at the UN to discuss the problem with the alien craft several months ago and begin our space program for funding in an attempt to compete with the Americans and the Soviets.
 * Praetorians: The fleet arrives in the Sol System. We discover the most inhospitable inhabited Continent, which is a single land mass, most of it desert. We set up a base camp in the desert, using stealth technology to arrive undetected. A few hundred miles from camp a human vehicle is discovered, with four humans that appear dehydrated. We take them back to camp, and four infiltrators take their place, driving the vehicle across the desert to the nearest settlement. The humans are revived, and we are learning their language. We declare that we will protect the human race from any harmful incursions. We make contact with the Promethean Fleet, and do not believe that they are truly coming in peace, as they openly say they are an invasion fleet. A secondary base is set up on the far side of the moon. SECRET: Infiltrators are sent to the Promethean Empire. Using the shape shifting ability, they are able to gain high up positions in the Promethean Government, and, although they do not do anything suspicious, they are able to report back on the true plans of the Promethean Empire. In response to this troubling news, more weapons are sent to the Sol System, and we begin to further explore the home world of the Evil Ones. We discover many disgustingly brutal weapons, but, faced with no option, we are forced to manufacture more, as we need anti-fleet weaponry. Assassins are sent into Promethean fleets, and kill the admirals, then blow up the ships, before jumping into space, destroying the Promethean fleets at Sol.


 * Promethean Diplomacy: Listen, we do NOT want a fight with you guys and we can respect that you are trying to protect the humans, but they have nuclear weapons and its a clear violation of intergalactic law (if there even is intergalactic law). We also estimate that their world will be drained of its resources by Earth year 2110. For the good of the galaxy, they must be disposed of.
 * Just so everyone knows, there is no intergalactic law, but you could very well claim that there is.
 * Praetorian Diplomacy: Yeah ... no. We will not allow an imperialistic empire commit genocide on a species purely due to the fact that you as a race had a nuclear war. That is your failing. Not theirs. There is no intergalactic law. Also, if there were, we would say that lying about your motives so as to gain a slave species is against it. Turn your fleets around.
 * Promethean Diplomacy: Very well, then you will die in protecting the humans.
 * Praetorian Diplomacy: We shall see who dies and who succeeds Prometheans. We shall see.
 * Australia: Plans continue for a launch base for ASA to be in the outback. A news story in Alice Springs is reported in National News as a sub story, as four tourists return from the outback, three days after they should have died according to experts. They simply shrugged and said 'We found water'


 * Chinese Diplomacy: We want Australia to join an emergency meeting at the UN.
 * HPK: We request that everybody leaves the humans alone, they are no threat to any of us. We suggest to first closely investigate them and then see what we need to do. We also begin producing more warships for self-defense.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union continues its military drills in the face of worldwide confusion over the Mars incident. Warsaw Pact nations gravitate even closer towards the Soviet Union due to fears over what is happening. Some in the Soviet Union start to advocate annexation of such states, arguing that a united commonwealth of workers would fair better in a war with the West, who is commonly thought to be behind the Mars Incident. Nikita Khrushchev does not support such ideas at this time. We will meet at the U.N., also known as the talk page.
 * Centria: sends fleets to occupy the sixth planet from the sun, known to us as Mostrev. In addition to the 3rd, 7th, and 23rd Assault Fleets, the 8th, 9th, and 92nd Battle Hives, and the 4th Grand Fleet, the First Sigma, the most dangerous fleet in the entire Centrian military, consisting of the elite ships and soldiers, is sent to establish a fleet on the moon of Titan, while the other fleets are kept orbiting Saturn. We suggest a meeting between the races assembled, but warn that any attempt to attack the humans or even make themselves known to the humans, will result in a massive counteroffensive from our combined fleets, to the point even of the deployment of Sigma Fields.


 * Praetorian Diplomacy: We will attend the meeting.
 * India: makes a breakthrough in its pursuit of nuclear weapons. The war against Pakistan comes to a halt with the momentous events on Mars. An armistice is agreed, and soldiers exchanged on each side.
 * Dravimosian Empire: The Emperor suffers the criticism of the press for his gaffe three months ago. To make amends, he visits a prominent military facility on the fringes of Dravimosian space to ease the criticism of endangering the armed forces. The military, including the four offensive battle groups and two of the defensive battle groups, are fully mobilized and moved closer to Firstborn space in case war breaks out. The Sol Recon fleet detects some unverifiable signals around and in the system, and the fleet's captain files a report to the Empire suggesting an increase of ships to the fleet. The fleet moves closer to the orbit of Neptune, staying out of sight. The Empire accepts the trade agreement of the Meridians.
 * Meridian Consul: All domestic economic programs continue, putting millions of lower class citizens to work to improve the infrastructure of our core planets. The creation of advanced shipyards of space vessels continues, with several being laid down across Meridian and Incipientes in Monsmanu alone. The first Atlos-class carriers are almost down mass production, and they are planned to be incorporated into the military within the next few months. Mining operations continue, leading to the creation of a well oiled production line, and a standardized system for transporting minerals and ores across the nation. We are please that diplomatic ties have been opened between us and some neighboring nations.
 * The United Kingdom's Prime Minister, Harold Wilson (Labour) issues a statement calling the observations on Mars "a matter of international concern" and "requiring a bilateral agreement between NATO and Warsaw" before a response can be adequately found. We threaten our UN veto if these conditions aren't met. Furthermore, we establish the UK Space Agency in order to "establish, protect, and defend our interests in Outer Space." A mission to the moon is their current project, but it will take at least five years to perfect a rocket and missile, so the mission is tentative for 1973.
 * Denmark: Prime Minister Jens Otto Krag leads a campaign toward European co-operation and unity. A referendum is sponsored by him for Denmark to join the European Economic Community. An effort is made to increase the Danish navy. A design for a new torpedo boat/fast attack ship known as the SØLØVEN-Class is approved. The ship will measure 30.33 m in length, and will be armed with one to two each 40 mm Machine Gun Mk M/48 LvSa (2x1), two to four each 533 mm Torpedo Tubes (4x1), and two each Illumination Rocket Launcher (one forward gun). More DELFINEN-Class submarines are also commissioned. We ask for a trade agreement with West Germany, Sweden and Norway, and hope to have a larger role in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
 * Rasheen Kingdom: We are amazed to find out the existence of several alien species thriving and mobilizing through the vast space ... However, most of them seems to be very aggressive and highly militarized; we also have arrived to a system of eight planets with a singular G-Type Star, on this system there are several mineral resources. However, there are civilizations slowly stabilizing ... the only local species seems to be a mammal-based hominid on the third planet not very evolved yet. However, we're detecting nuclear technology, we must gather more info on them. We're sending our fastest messenger ships back to Arr-rota in order to inform the Queen and the Highest Ones about our findings, we'll remain in this solar system awaiting for orders and attempting to contact other species.
 * Argentina: Illia's government is getting weaker by the minute, even though he has several supporters, the military and several key entrepreneurs are plotting against him ... on other notes, there are plans for starting the construction of a Nuclear Power Plant, we have the engineers and the materials, but we don't possess the experience, so it will take a while, also, The military and the civilian "Comisión Nacional de Investigaciones Espaciales" (National Space Research Commission) is currently developing an small indigenous rocket vehicle with both civilian/military potential uses code named: "Orion-1", however, we've been using for practice the American "Castor" rocket since 1960.
 * Sith Empire: A lone ship appears at our capital's world space station. When a boarding party is sent the ship opens fire on the shuttles. The shuttles were destroyed and the EMP gun from the station fires and disables the ship then another boarding party is sent. A firefight breaks out in the ship hanger. After the engagement we soon found out that they were rogue Promethean warriors. We tell them that if this happens again it will be war.


 * Praetorian Diplomacy: We offer an alliance against the Prometheans.
 * Azaranians: After deciding to act on the automated warning, and the intel gathered that other Alien Nations are starting to amass near a supposedly secret zone ... the Galleon System, where the Azaranian set up a xenoevolutionary research station millenia ago ... The Galleon-4 Relay, by way of QEC remote control, uses the last of its juice to send a team of scientists to asses the damage, and get the relay in working order. All the required materials to fix it if need be, including construction replicators, are sent through the realy. The ETA for completion of the relay repairs is half a year at most. If push comes to shove, the Azaranian government, in a secret meeting with the High-Senators-Military, decide to put the first fleet on a course to Galleon after repairs, and plan to terraform a makeshift base around the Relay (about 1000 sq km at first). The Azaranians prepare the 2nd and 104th fleets to be mobilized as they monitor the Firstborn-Dravimos situation ... Due to the nature of the transportation relays, a giant spur of light was visible from the red planet for a brief moment, even visible from earth for a full five seconds as a large elongation from the red planet, and detected by most observatories and telescopes, leaving the nations of earth to ponder the connection between the Mars incident, and the light spurring from Mars' surface. Any non-humans in the galleon system would have noticed this event too, despite the Azaranian scientists stealth systems, they would have detected their entry.


 * Rasheen Diplomacy: Unknown space fleet: we detected your entry into this solar system, if you are listening we peacefully greet you, this is the RFS Khöja a scientific ship from the Rasheen Kingdom's Scout team, we have no hostile intentions toward you. If you are interested in continue peaceful talks please let us know, we are currently moving between the L-5 Point and the main equator of the sixth planet of this system.
 * The Centrians are interested to note that despite the fact that we have put up massive defenses all over the sixth planet you persist in attempting to reach it. We would like to know your reasons - before we destroy your fleets.
 * Rasheen Diplomacy: The sixth planet from the star seems an interesting mining place for its gases and minerals by their nearby moons. We are a peaceful race, Centrians and we'll leave your territory but be warned any unprovoked attack will not go Unanswered.

Canada Continue all the stuff we were doing OTL. We want to investigate the light from Mars and we need to take some action and to send a spacecraft to investigate the light. We suggest that all NATO nations work together to get this spacecraft done as early as possible.


 * Caborr ships stay close to their Dravimos counterparts, intercepting television and radio signals, attempting to find out more about this new species.

1966
'''Following the attack orchestrated by rogue Promethean warriors, there is a general call for greater security across the galaxy. Many in the Sith Empire begin advocating for a crackdown on galactic piracy and crime to protect outlaying colonies and trade routes.'''

''' Human nations are beginning to get really scared after the Azaranian Relay Event last month and increased signals from Saturn. Militaries around the world are readied. '''

''' The situation on the edges of Firstborn-Dravimosian space is at a standstill. '''

''' The Ariax (?) Empire positions its fleet somewhere in the Sol system. '''

''' The Firstborn sees the Prometheans and the human situation as perfect to undercut the Grand Alliance, and so gathers more of its forces. Its allies rally their forces as well. '''


 * Xlax Imperium: We denounce the Promethean's existence, and cut all trade with them. We continue to explore new lands for trade. We also build up our military and defense.


 * East Germany: We send a group of 20 people into West Germany, mainly young people. We investigate the flash on the red planet, we also build up our military
 * Japan: Japan builds up its Self Defence Forces. Meanwhile, Takuya Yokoyama continues writing the manga Satori Maiden.
 * Oriental Hermit Republic: A fleet continues to be prepared for exploring outside of the Oriental Hermit's Domain. The military is built up.
 * Praetorians: Offer the Xlax an alliance. We begin to expand our borders. Talking to the humans reveals that although some humans are violent, the humans of this nation have not had as violent a path as most. We decide that soon we will contact them, and uplift them. We ask for the meeting that Centria proposed. We begin to saturate the Promethean Empire with shapeshifters. We manufacture around 2000 ships for the fleet. We begin to excavate a large Old Ones Facility.


 * Xlax D: accepts
 * Jaledom of the Universe:  When a member of the Army of the Universe drunkenly falls and lands in West Berlin people go mad over him. The Jaledom, a collection of subdivisions called Crappers, has one crapper officially declare global neutrality. In our dry docks on Boringsauct the people get to board of not having to make ships so they make a ton. Denounces the Prometheans and asks to ally with Preatorians. Boringsauct continues to grow into a Imperial capitol until a new plan is made- use it for tourism.


 * Germany:  A new political party begins to rise, the Monarchist Communists.


 * While this is possible, it would take a while to do so. Slow it down, we have plenty of time.
 * That just doesn't even make any sense.


 * Promethean Empire: We send ships to the outer Sol System to establish a permanent outpost on Titan and begin recovery of the Soram ship that crash landed on Mars. We dismantle the ship for any useful materials we can reverse engineer and discover the ruins of an alien race called the "Phantoms" and discover knowledge of an ancient device called "The Forge". of the We begin building thousands of ships to prepare for a war against our enemies SECRET: Our infiltrators are able to successfully mind control some Soviet generals and begin staging a coup on the USSR. We also plant a malfunction in the US early warning systems to dupe the Americans into thinking the USSR has launched nukes on the USA.  We also send some infiltrator units to Earth to recover the Forge and send a ship there to recover the device.


 * Promethean Secret Diplomacy: We ask for the Firstborn and the Mech Network to ally our race in our campaign to destroy the Praetorians and the Cyclarchy of Centria as well as the Grand Alliance
 * Hell to the damn no. Too much too soon.
 * Aw What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????? COME ON!!!!! I WANT TO BLOW SOMETHING UP!!!!!!!
 * No. Too soon. Read the rules.
 * The Centrians aren't allied with the Praetorians. We just destroyed ALL the ships of BOTH sides that were engaged in combat.
 * WOAH WOAH MODS. GUYS. DO SOMETHING. THIS GUY JUST CAUSED NUCLEAR WAR, I need to know if it will retconned to decide whether or not to drive his race to extinction.
 * Every time I cross his shit out, he uncrosses it. Illegally. Might ban from game for a few days.
 * Damn. I could have just killed him ( his people), you know.
 * That's it. Three days, Ratc.
 * I took some humans from a ruined car in the outback like two turns ago, and spent an entire turn learning how to speak English. Why can't I talk to them? Mafia (talk)
 * And also, I didn't have any ships involved in the conflict ... Mafia (talk) 05:36, September 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * You can't talk to them because there is *ahem* NO HUMAN CONTACT YET.
 * The Regenetech Empire decides to prevent the eruption of a full blown galactic war, especially one centered on an inhospitable region of the galaxy. Unaffected force users who can actively use their powers begin to have their DNA selectively bred to produce a newer subspecies of universal Force users. These clones are raised quickly to create elite units that operate under normal Regens. Ten fleets (which is what, ten hundred thousand battleship and innumerable sentient organisms?) are deployed to wait within the the orbit of Sol but not within the view of Solofix (Earth), utilizing the sun to prevent detection by humans.
 * The US continues doing whatever it was doing OTL, but it becomes increasingly aware of strange things in the solar system. The military is put on high alert, and the government goes onto Defcon 2, while not telling the public of this.
 * Centria is shocked at the actions of the two warring sides and institutes Plan Beta. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 9th Sigmas are sent to Earth, in addition to six Base Fleets and nine Assault Fleets. These immediately implement Search-and-Destroy Missions against the fleets of the Jaledom and the Prometheans located between the orbits of Venus and Saturn. In retaliation for the attacks on Berlin, Toyo, Leningrad and LA, four prominent Promethean worlds are utterly destroyed via Sigma field. All sides in this war are warned that any- ANY- attacks against ANYONE conducted within this system will be met with equal retaliation from the Centrians. The Centrians now insist on a meeting on a neutral world - one has been found - called the Talkpage.
 * READ! READ!
 * Sorry- you edit-conflicted me. I could only read AFTER posting that. Come to think of it, though, I'd like to destroy those worlds anyway. 
 * Sith Empire: begins an attack on the Prometheans by destroying their shipyards. Agrees to the alliance offer from the Pretorians.
 * Uhhhh, news flash: our shipyards are too heavily defended for your ships to blow up right now. So guess what, YOU FAIL!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 * If those shipyards are outside the Solar System, OK. If not, we Centrians destroyed your ships already. NO FIGHTING THERE. Not a rule, I just don't want it yet. Rat, you're not a mod, don't delete posts.
 * I KNOW THAT, AND THEY ARE OUTSIDE SOL!!!!!!!!!!!! OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH AND BTW I AM SENDING IN MORE SHIPS WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 * Please, keep doing that. Then we can destroy them and you'll end up without a military. :D
 * Rat. I was talking to Warman for most of that sentence. Now, a few things. A) Calm the hell down. B) I'm not a mod, go ahead. But what you're doing is kinda like Gabon pissing off France. We may not be of the caliber of the US (read; Regentech) or Russia (read; Firstborn) but we can still take you out without expending shit. Guns (The above wasn't me, though it is true)
 * Rat and Warman, you both are in direct violation of multiple rules. Ratc, you're moving too quickly and you're causing mass destruction on Earth. Warman, I told you already that you can't name your race the Sith Empire. If either of you continue to act the way you are acting, you will be banned. Thank you for your compliance. CrimsonAssassin- "I have special eyes" 00:42, September 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * i changed it to the Orc Empire. Warman555 (talk) 20:09, September 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * India is extremely alarmed by the events on Mars. Working full time on the breakthrough on Nuclear weaponry, the first nuclear weapon is created (eight years early, I KNOW). However, in the attempted test, it instead fizzles out. The military is built up, but the nation is saddened when PM Shastri dies of a heart attack. A vote is called and he is replaced by Yashwantrao Chavan.


 * Argentina: The military has grown its numbers under the crescent international escalation due to the "Mars Event" as well as increasing tensions between the other countries, Internally, the President Illia was overthrown during the "Argentine Revolution" on June, the Current Military "Junta" rules jointly with "José Maria Guido" a politician that seized the opportunity. Main goal: Implementation of neo-liberal economic policies, supported by multinational companies, opposed to Communism and Liberal Democracy. State Devaluation is causing wreckage on the economy while Liberties are being shorted, also the "Peronist" seeks to reinstate his former leader Gral Perón from the Exile.


 * Rasheen Kingdom: After the latest escalations, the scout fleet has been relocated in the Kuiper belt and elements from the "Rapid Response Task Force" from the 6th Fleet is already there protecting the Scout team while the 5th, 6th and 7th Fleet await at neutral space one light year away from the Solar System, ready to engage if ordered. The Queen and the Highest ones council has ordered the creation of 1500 new Fourth Gen new ships (as well as an overall Improvement/upgrade of every military ship) and the creation of two more fleets. We are monitoring the third planet's communications, we haven't decided to contact the native creatures there yet.

We are on High Alert after the latest events. However, we have no defined alliances yet.


 * Dravimosian Empire: The Empire views the growing confrontation in the Sol system to be of great concern. Half of Battlegroup Dresh is withdrawn from the borders of Firstborn-Dravimosian Space and moved closer to the Sol system. The Emperor is informed that his previous gaffe was incorrect, and negotiations with the Brudahka have gone nowhere for months. The research vessels in the Sol system analyse human DNA from specimen probes and write a report back to the government. In the report, the scientists state that the humans would be a fine addition to the Empire, but they also add that the political situation could ignite full war if the humans were to be annexed. The fleet awaits new instructions. The Caborr fleet is instructed to learn all aspects of human culture and language possible while the Dravimosian ships will study Terran biology and species.
 * Veridi Imperial Republic (Didn't realize it started):  Trade begins on a larger scale between our colonized worlds to increase tourism and business in our Imperial Republic. The current Emperor, Misyarri, issues a declaration of everlasting prosperity for the Imperial Republic. Several of our fleets, including the Ljestari, Yjarvi, and Ijoviai, are sent to nearby systems outside our control to scout out for various planets that will be deemed habitable for our people without substantial terraforming needed. These planets are to be in the freezing uninhabitable zone of yellow stars, or in the goldilocks zone of a white dwarf system. The need for a new merchant fleet arises to increase trade, which leads to the Tjmavuri fleet being created. Our search for Red Giant stars also begins near our colonized worlds, so as to allow for large Molecular Collider's to be built, which would create a small, or numerous, black holes around the star that are only effective against stars with much less fuel, such as Red Giants, in order to collapse them into white dwarfs and terraform multiple system worlds at once.  A small scout fleet, Mjuvuri, is sent to investigate increased presence of multiple spacefaring species in one system, Sol, or Saoli in Veridian.


 * Veridian Diplomacy: We send out multiple dignitaries to nearby races, which include the Firstborne and Praetorians, in order to establish trade relations.
 * Rasheen Diplomacy: We received your message, and we peacefully agree to receive your dignitaries on a neutral space in order to begin trading relationships and cultural exchange.
 * Soviet Union: The Union continues its military drills amid the fear of the events in the solar system. Prominent figures in the government continue to press for annexation of Soviet puppet states, but Kruschev refuses, fearing all out war with the west. The space program is going well, with a manned landing on the moon within the next ten yaers.
 * Mech Network: A small fleet of scout ships arrives in the Sol System, beyond the Oort Cloud. Unknown starship signatures are detected. The scout ships calculate a flight path through the Oort Cloud and Asteroid Belt that also doesn't alert any ships to the scout ships' presense. The flight to the last known location of The Forge begins. Back in Mech Space, a small portion of the military is reactivated in case of trouble.
 * Turkey: We begin to expand our economy by making use of large swaths of agricultural land in South-Central Turkey, as well as beginning to subsidize unused natural gas and oil fields, hoping to encourage better economic growth for the nation. Plans for reforming the military are proposed and will take place within three months, due to increasing military activity from the Soviet Union. Several prominent Islamic Imam's meet in Istanbul to discuss courses of action to be taken faithwise due to increasing reports from other nations of extraterrestrial activity.


 * Turkish Diplomacy (Secret): We request increase NATO presence, specifically the United States, within Turkey to deter possible Soviet Union military actions.
 * OAC: We trade and we begin sending people to earthling nations to gain control of their economy.
 * ^ WOW. WOW. Do you guys just not understand English?
 * Caborr ships unfold their arrays, in an attempt to intercept all human communication transmitted into space. This evidence is analyzed by a team of linguists and xenologists to learn more about human culture and language.
 * Denmark: Prime Minister Jens Otto Krag’s campaign toward European co-operation and unity continues. A referendum is sponsored by him for Denmark to join the European Economic Community. An effort is made to increase the Danish navy. A design for a new torpedo boat/fast attack ship known as the SØLØVEN-Class is approved. The ship will measure 30.33 m in length, and will be armed with one to two each 40 mm Machine Gun Mk M/48 LvSa (2x1), two to four each 533 mm Torpedo Tubes (4x1), and two each Illumination Rocket Launcher (on forward gun). More DELFINEN-Class submarines are also commissioned. Two ships known as the PEDER SKRAM and the HERLUF TROLLE are laid down as part of the PEDER SKRAM-class of frigates. We ask for a trade agreement with West Germany, Sweden and Norway, and hope to have a larger role in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
 * Meridian Consul: All domestic economic programs continue, putting millions of lower class citizens to work to improve the infrastructure of our core planets. The creation of advanced shipyards of space vessels continues, with several being laid down across Meridian and Incipientes in Monsmanu alone. The first Atlos-class carriers are almost down mass production, and they are planned to be incorporated into the military within the next few months. The first Atlos-class carrier, known as the MCS Atlos is stationed with a battle group, and is deployed at the edge of our nation, closest to the galactic core. Several task groups of research and scouting ships are sent to venture around our immediate borders, and to traverse the trade routes toward our trading partners. Mining operations continue, leading to the creation of a well oiled production line, and a standardized system for transporting minerals and ores across the nation. We are please that diplomatic ties have been opened between us and some neighboring nations.
 * Azaranians finish repairing the Galleon-4 Interstellar Transportation relay. The Azaranians prepare to send their fleet rather soon. After hearing reports that other sentients have found the Galleon system, it is very concerning, and they want nobody to find out Azaranians' link..

'''New Turn ... ?'''

1966.25
Here's your new turn.


 * Firstborn forces are mostly mobilized, with only a few auxiliary forces not completly ready. Their allies are all mobilized.


 * Ariax forces in the Sol System reveal themselves to the other alien nations, stating that they will aid in the defense of the humans.
 * The Azaranian Fleet's entrance into the Sol system was not unoticed. While keeping their presence secret from the humans, as most they can, they revealed themselves to the other aliens. However, another light is seen protruding from Mars - this time for more than a minute. This adds to the human nations' fears, and now, many believe that the connection between the 1965 Mars event, and these lights is undeniable.

Other mod events if they are posted.


 * The Regenetech, via the use of its secret beacon-transmitter thingies on Easter Island, are shocked to learn that the Chinese, Latin and Greek languages no longer dominate the world, and struggle to learn the six official languages of the United States, through its more secret locations on Earth, known as the Mayan, Incan and Egyptian pyramids to the humans. The Russian language is easily cracked by the top linguists of the Empire, who are able to recognize that most, if not all, words are a corruption of Regen words. Russian itself is a corruption of Regen. If Lx gets Stonehenge and Tunguska, I get the pyramids and Easter Island - and all you Type IIIs and Type IIs out there, yes, I can do this.
 * That's no fun. Let the humans have their originality. :P
 * The only reason I got Tunguska was to not give the USA unfair advantages in terms of having alien tech base (with Roswell), and Stonehenge was the site of a relay, that the humans ended up thinking of as holy and whatnot ... before Christianity.
 * Please. Alien conspiracies for the win!
 * Ooh! Ooh! Can I have the Callanish stones? (Centria)


 * Japan: Japan builds up its Self Defence Forces. Meanwhile, Takuya Yokoyama finishes writing the manga Satori Maiden, and releases it. It gets good sales.
 * Oriental Hermit Republic: A fleet continues to be prepared for exploring outside of the Oriental Hermit's Domain. The military is built up.
 * Dravimosian Empire: The Empire readies most of its forces as the Firstborn does as well. The Emperor puts more resources and effort into negotiations with the Brudahka, fearing that if war is to break out across the Galaxy, the Empire needs a more adaptive asset other than WMDs. The chief diplomat in charge of the negotiations estimates successful negotiations could be accomplished within a decade. The commander of the Sol Scout Fleet writes a report recommending annexing the humans for both their physical strength and their high work ethic. The government seems to agree, and orders that the fleet contact the uman nations before the year is out. Battle group Crixus is divided, with one half maintaining their defensive positions and the other half to track down the remaining Polaran population. Other players, but especially mods, would a military takeover of the Soviet Union be plausible or possible? And if yes, would it possibly make the Soviet Union more expansionist? 


 * Promethean Diplomacy: We ask for the assistance of the Dravimosian Empire, seeing that our species have the same interests regarding Earth, although different goals about it. We ask for your assistance in terms of money, ships and technology, as well as I dunno some more advanced training for our forces. If possible an alliance can be available.
 * I say yes and maybe. ~ S
 * OAC: We trade and we begin tracking Chinese radios. We begin learning Chinese, albeit slowly. We build factories on our home planet. We begin sending some of our fleet to the moon to track more human radios signals.
 * United Kingdom - We begin to seek support from within the Commonwealth to tighten control, and almost rebuild the Commonwealth. Our space program continues unabated, and makes small but important progress, which advances to expected launch time to 1972, which is considered an amazing feat. We also urge NATO to work together on a space program.


 * A s a part of our stronger Commonwealth, we invite South Africa, Nigeria, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Belize, Jamaica, the Maldives, Tanzania, Kenya, Singapore, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka (Mod) to become the foundation of the Revised Commonwealth.
 * We invite the following player nations to join the Revised Commonwealth: Canada, Australia, India.
 * Danish Diplomacy: We agree to help fund greater space exploration if other NATO nations contribute to the project.
 * The US politely declines.

Those nations are already in the Commonwealth.

'''Yeah, I know. I just want those NPC nations to be under the control of GB, in effect making a stricter Commonwealth.'''


 * Promethean Empire: Seeing that Sol will become a problematic issue for our race, we decide to focus on Praetorian space and launch an attack on Centria as a distraction. This is followed by a surprise attack on Praetorian space and bit by bit worlds begin to fall prey to our relentless assault. We also begin to seek out for any shapeshifters and orders are on shoot-to-kill on any shapeshifter and are to be detected via DNA scan. After the assassination attempt, we begin to round up suspected shapeshifters and begin another Great Purge within the Empire. We also try to attack the Praetorians again this time with elerium bombs brought and ready to annihilate their colonies. After bombing several worlds with elerium-based atomic weapons, we move in to secure the areas and remove any resistance in our path although our battles are costly and bloody. SECRET: We begin establishing a permanent base on Mars in the area around the Soram ship crash site in an attempt to reverse engineer the technology as we also encounter an unknown fleet near the orbit of Terra and begin contacting them.


 * Promethean Diplomacy: This is the Promethean starship Light of the Emperor, identify yourselves inmediantly or else we will be forced to use lethal force.
 * Who are you talking to?
 * Pretty sure they said it takes more than a few months to win a planetside battle. Also, I am not allied with the Centrians, so I wouldn't be distracted by that.
 * With the Galleon-4 Relay succesfuly re-instated to working efficiency, the Azaranians make their appearance. Powering up the relay, the entire first fleet moves into the orbit of Galleon-4, taking with them two Keldarazhia planetary defence cannons, setting them up each in orbit of Galleon close to Galleon-4.1 and Galleon-4.2 (the moons of Mars). The Azaranians also send a group of personnel to terraform a 1000 sq km base around the Relay, using Energhayan shielding to keep the good atmosphere in, and the inhospitable atmosphere of Mars out. The Azaranian Emperor himself ordered this to happen, as he hopes to frighten any potential belligerents ... before they discover the traces of Azaranian culture within humanity ... and kill the Azaranians' nearly identical (outwards appearance) species of special interest. The Azaranians hope to prevent any future conflict in the Galleon System and more specifically around Galleon-3 and Galleon-3.1 ...
 * Praetorians: Scanning stations hidden in moons and asteroids detect the Promethean attackers. We send many of our soldiers to the planets they plan to attack, and they barely establish a beach head on one planet, brutally repulsed on the rest. Meanwhile in Promethean space, the shapeshifters, having taken on the shape and DNA of Prometheans, pass the DNA tests. The shapeshifters on the Promethean Council go to meet the Emperor and assassinate him. They are killed but take many of the Promethean Guards with them. We ask for an alliance with the Centrians. The Old Ones facility is fully excavated and a powerful weapon is discovered: a 'void cannon'. The knowledge of what this weapon can do shocks us but we steel ourselves and begin to replicate it. The existing one is placed on our flagship which is stored in the most secure of our docks.


 * Centria refuses the alliance. Although we are on the same side, we have different goals ... (Moohahaha)
 * How can they have the DNA of the Prometheans and still be able to shapeshift? The ability to shapeshift would show up as a DNA anomaly.
 * It is within the RNA, which is not checked.
 * Exact RNA is an exact copy of DNA (except reversed), so that doesn't make much sense. 
 * Maybe they assume the DNA of the Promethans when switching to that particular race?


 * Argentina: Gral. Juan Carlos Onganía has taken control now over the Argentina as the new de facto president. Represive measures are put into effect to placate social riots while the economy is led by de-industrialization and a 40% devaluation of the Peso, using also the "Fear for the Extraterrestrials" (Increasing by the minute among the population) as a tool to create a social cohesion element for him to use against aliens and Communist/political adversaries. Also following the international situation, Onganía already part of the "Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Co-operation" (Escuela de las Americas: Dictatorship school led by CIA and the US Army), has decided to increase the regular army force and intended to improve the relationship with USA, not only as potential allied against the Communism but also against the potential extraterrestrial menaces.


 * Argentinian Diplomacy: We invite every non-Communist country in Latin America to create an alliance to protect us against any external (and internal) threat.


 * Rasheen Kingdom: Our "Sol System Task Force" (created merging elements from the 6th "Rapid Response Task Force" and the Scout Team led by the RKF Khöja) formed specially to deal with the current situation, is still located in the outskirts of the Sol System, in constant communication with our battle groups if we are in need to summon them. We're currently using "Long Range Surveillance Type" ships to sneak around the system and gather info from the other fleets as well as the self-denominated "human" planet. The Highest Ones have decided to contact the planet, we have begun sending coded messages using algebraic methods and several other mathematical formulas, in time we hope they will understand it. Meanwhile, we are making immense progress understanding their native tongues and the functioning of their society.


 * Rasheen Diplomacy: To all fleets in the Sol System, we are a trading civilization and we are looking to form alliances with everyone interested so all of you are free to contact us if you like (we're using the Lagrange Point-4 around the eighth planet from the Star, for any attempt of encounter), but be warned: we will not tolerate any attack on our fleet nor on the human planet.
 * Dravimosian Diplomacy: We are open to trade.
 * Rasheen Diplomacy: We are happy to receive your answer, we'll send you a delegation in order to establish a Trading Treaty, and continue friendly relationship among our species.


 * Meridian Consul: All domestic economic programs continue, putting millions of lower class citizens into work to improve the infrastructure of our core planets. The creation of advanced shipyards of space vessels continues, with several being laid down across Meridian and Incipientes in Monsmanu alone. The first Atlos-class carriers are completed, allowing for others to replace them in mass production. The newly created ships are planned to be incorporated into the military within the next few months. Several task groups of research and scouting ships are sent to venture around our immediate borders, and to traverse the trade routes toward our trading partners. Mining operations continue, leading to the creation of a well-oiled production line, and a standardized system for transporting minerals and ores across the nation. We are pleased that diplomatic ties have been opened between us and some neighboring nations. The Fifth Galactic Reconnaissance Task Group, a collection of trade, research and scouting ships, accompanied by the 9th carrier battle group, led by the newly appointed MCS Atlos carrier, make Rasheen Sol System Task Force. We officially establish diplomatic relations with the nation, hoping to increase foreign relations as time goes on. We also ask for a trade agreement with the Rasheen Kingdom.


 * Rasheen Diplomacy: We are happy to receive your request, we'll send you a delegation in order to establish a Trading Treaty, and continue friendly relationship among our species.


 * Centrian forces ruthlessly crush the Promethan attacks on our system. Vowing revenge for the dead (though we lost far fewer than they) our fleets begin SESDS (Supression of Enemy Space Defense Systems) missions, using Sigma fields and Strange Matter Bombs to wipe out entire fleets at once. Using Translight drives - used by no other race - we send Capital Squadrons deep into enemy territory for surprise attacks. The Promethan worlds closest to us, meanwhile, are blanket-nuked with anti-matter and thermonuclear devices of massive potential. These do not destroy the planet itself, even leaving it semi-habitable, but destroying large portions of the surface ensure that any ground-based life beyond the level of a few cells is utterly destroyed. These are heavily time and energy consuming, however, so this procedure has only been implemented on three planets so far.


 * East Germany:  The people sent to West Germany start families and they begin to create a Communist force there. The military begins to grow. The economy is improved.


 * Xlax Imperium: We declare war on the Promethean Empire for their attacks on the Centrians and Praetorians using the best technology they have, which is slightly better then the Prometheans. We call out for all known empires to help destroy this menace to interstellar society. We begin open trade with everyone we meet. The first ships enter the Sol system.


 * Australia: We build the Space Launch Area in the outback. We begin to hurry production of the shuttle, as we want to see what is happening on Mars. Several of the workers at the SLA report sightings of large humanoid things walking around in the desert, but these are dismissed by the government.


 * Cuba: The Cuban government begins work on diversifying the economy thanks in no small part to the American embargo against the island. Fidel Castro orders all able-bodied men to report to the nearest military post to receive physical tests and assignment to an occupation to assist in the development of the Cuban economy. A hasty military build-up is planned should an American invasion be discovered.


 * Gemini Federation: Gemini forces have caught on to the interstellar developments all around them, and seeking not to be left out of any potential gains from all the interstellar activity around them, the government orders members of the Solarian Empire's judicial forces to lead a Gemini expeditionary unit out to discover what is the cause behind all of the intense activity of its neighbors and enemies.
 * Neighbors and enemies as two distinct groups, as the same group, or as two overlapping groups?
 * Two overlapping groups. Gemini are regular human-like aliens, while the Solarians are psychic and highly-developed cousins of the Gemini with seperate empire. Their kinda like first cousins. ~Viva


 * Soviet Union: The National Space Program is succeeding in leaps and bounds. The previous estimate is refined to a moon landing within the next five years. Preparations of a landing capsule and landing zones begins. Military drills continue, and expand to include Warsaw Pact nations and Mongolia.
 * Mechs: The Mech scout ships arrive above Earth undetected and begin scanning the planet. The origin of the energy tics is discovered in Mexico. A message is sent to Installation One via quantum entanglement to report the following:


 * The Forge crashed on a life-bearing planet.
 * The Forge is still active.
 * The inhabitants are organics in a Type O civilization.
 * There are multiple non-native races in the system.
 * The galaxy is not at peace.


 * More of the Mech military is re-activated. The Installations begin working on coming to a consensus on Proposition 660: an ancient proposition to make the Mechs known to the galactic community. As of yet, a decision has not been reached.


 * India begins experiencing turmoil as many religions beleive that the lights on Mars signify the End of the World. Police efforts begin to pacify these believers. The first successful nuclear test is carried out in the Thar Desert. Meanwhile, Republic Day is celebrated (January 26th). During the celebration, the second light-burst occurs from Mars. Some believe this might not be happenstance ...
 * The United States continues to divert more funds into NASA, continuously aware of weird stuff in space. A proposal is sent to the USSR wherein the Vietnam War ends with North Vietnam and South Vietnam maintaining their independence from each other. The US keeps all findings about space to itself and NASA becomes increasingly secretive, but it is announced that the Apollo program will launch in 1967.


 * Soviet Diplomacy: The Soviet Union is open to such an idea, since the activities in space might warrant an increased human cohesion. We accept as long as the border is demilitarized, is manned by the four nation's respective armed forces (N. Vietnam, S. Vietnam, America, and Russia) and North Vietnam is free to join the Warsaw Pact. What South Vietnam does in terms of international organizations, we care not. We also want South Vietnam to cease its persecution of peaceful Communist activists.
 * The United States will accept as long the same approach is taken in Korea and if proponents of democracy are not oppressed in North Vietnam. Or you could take down the Berlin Wall.
 * Soviet Diplomacy: We accept these terms in principle, but applying them might be hard. What East Germany does in Berlin is up to them. We will ask N. Vietnam to understand other people's viewpoints. Korea might be difficult to do, but they might accept a four nation force to guard the DMZ.
 * The United States agrees and offers to collaborate on such efforts.
 * Soviet Diplomacy: We accept the offer to collaborate, but only because of the strange events happening in space. BTW, I plan to have my military coup within the next year, is that fine?
 * OK.
 * ​Veridi Imperial Republic: We begin to expand the infrastructure of the home systems by allowing for more mass-housing buildings to be constructed to deal with an increasing population and a lack of housing. In order to increase both commerce and populations of sparsely colonized outer system worlds, the Emperor and Senate decrease some smaller restrictions to development of these worlds and solar systems, which will allow more trade guilds, mining corporations, and mass-housing corporations to take root in these planets. Reports come back from the fleets sent out to investigate nearby star systems, and they report that there are a multiple of solar systems, but they have what is percieved as few habitable planets. A decision is made to send colonial fleets, owned by the Imperial Republic, to investigate the systems planets and determine which planets are perfect at the start, and which would need to be terraformed before habitation. The Emperor personally funds the development of a new flagship design for all fleets to use, in both an effort to enhance his own prestige and increase the military readiness of the Veridi Space Fleets in response to more galaxy-wide conflicts. The scout fleet at the Saoli system continues to monitor the current situation, reporting back that intelligent life exists in the system, but it is less advanced than most galaxy-spanning civilizations.

New Turn....?


 * Denmark: Prime Minister Jens Otto Krag’s campaign toward European co-operation and unity continues. A referendum is sponsored by him for Denmark to join the European Economic Community. An effort is made to increase the Danish navy. The two ships known as the PEDER SKRAM and the HERLUF TROLLE are nearly done construction, completing the PEDER SKRAM-class of frigates. We ask for a trade agreement with West Germany, Sweden and Norway, and hope to have a larger role in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
 * Now new turn...?

1966.50
''' From now on, all turns will start at 21:00 UTC, that's 5:00 Eastern Daylight Lime, 4:00 EST. Let's not let this thing die people! If it is past 21:00 UTC, anyone can start a new turn. '''

' The Soviet Union and the United States begin to man the Vietnamese DMZ. Diplomatic attempts to achieve the same result in Korea have met with failure so far. '

 Warsaw Pact military exersises worry the West and NATO, who starts military exersises of their own. 

 The counterculture movement begins to decline in popularity with the announcement of the end of war in Vietnam. 
 * Japan: Japan builds up its Self Defence Forces. Takuya Yokoyama begins writing the second volume of Satori Maiden.
 * Oriental Hermit Republic: A fleet continues to be prepared for exploring outside of the Oriental Hermit's Domain. The military is built up.
 * Centria: continues expansion into the Promethan lands. Promethan resistance causes some losses among the fleets sent into their territory, but even more casualties are inflicted upon. SESDS missions continue, going all the way to the home world and taking out core defense systems. A huge battle occurs near a seven-inhabited-world-system occupied by the Prometheans. Although there are heavy defenses, judicious applications of type B SIgma Fields result in the total destruction of the Promethan fleets, and the surviving worlds are attacked with Strange-Matter Bombs and Biowar - the Strange Matter destroys all it touches by negating the energy holding atoms together, and the Biowar poisons the air and water. All spaceports are bombarded with Particle beams and Phasers from space. None will escape. Meanwhile, in Mostrev, the Centrians decide to make contact with the humans in the last day of this planet's rotation of its star. A modified Nowarb-Class fighter is prepared.
 * Jaledom: 'A mining crapper is set up on an orbital space station around Jupiter. That crapper is named Stupider. A few men on the ship called 1-800-PAIN get tired of lighting farts for fun so they decide to kill some Prometheans. The ship is declared rogue on the capitol of Boringsaunt.
 * Germany: The Monarchist Communists rise.
 * What? It's like you don't even take this game seriously.
 * 'Monarchist Communists'... 'Idiotic Genius'... 'Oct being plausible'... I LIKE Oxymorons! And you forgot the Jaledom post, too.
 * No I didn't, I'm just too lazy to cross it out.
 * Mechs: As the Mech scouts move in closer, the energy tic is discovered again and is isolated to a single point. A small probe is launched at the origin of the tic, a location near Chicxulub, Mexico. The probe lands during the night and takes subterranean readings of the area. Unfortunately, the probe is discovered by the native humans. They are quietly put down by the probe's defenses. The probe leaves the area, transmitting more info to the Installations. The Mechs continue to prevent detection by non-native civilizations in the system. More of the military is reactivated.
 * OAC: We trade and we begin tracking Chinese radios. We begin learning Chinese, albeit slowly. We build factories on our home planet. We begin sending some of our fleet to the moon to track more human radio signals. We build a small base on Mare Frigoris and we learn basic English from some radio signals. We send a spy to Earth who says to learn more English.
 * Promethean Empire: The Centrian attacks begin to worry our forces and thousands of ships are built on the home world and other core military worlds to fight back against Centria. We begin to focus our forces on home space to defend and retake our worlds. In the Tokalmi System we decide to send reinforcements to destroy the Centrian ships there and using an experimental Ion Cannon to shred their ships, of which the cannon is on the Aplos-class dreadnaught, Wrath of Prometheus. Meanwhile in Praetorian space, we continue our attacks on the Praetorians and we use increased elerium-based atomic weaponry and wipe out half the planetary surface. Although we manage to establish some landing zones, the battles are bloody and costly, as we get closer to Praetoria. SECRET: We decide to launch an offensive against the Centrian defenses on the Sol System lead by the Olpami-class starship Light of the Emperor.
 * One does not simply creat a new element.
 * Also, you can't just ignore other people's turns. Your Emperor was assasinated, and you failed to even get a beach head on any of the worlds.
 * News Flash:I tried again last turn and guess what:I was more sucessful thanks to the elerium-based atomic weaponry. Read the previous motherf**king turn!!!!!!!!
 * Other elements than the OTL 119 known ones most certainly exist in space. Ex: Carbonite.
 * Uncrossing posts again? Banned, three days.
 * No! Don't ban him! Move the Firstborn in on his side, then ban him. Meanwhile, I will unfold PLAN CETTA.
 * Veridi Imperial Republic: Infrastructure continues to expand in the home systems, allowing for larger and more expansive industrial worlds. More Veridi begin to colonize the outer systems, following mining corporations for jobs and trade guilds for merchant opportunities. The colonial fleets begin to colonize some of the non-colonized outer systems, and they begin to build a Veridi Collider around one solar systems sun, which is a red giant, in order to create enough atomically small black holes to remove the fuel from the red giant, therefore causing it to collapses into a white dwarf star. The planets to be colonized are not named, and rather numbered until successful colonies have been establish and continuously supplied. Development of a new flagship continues. The scout fleet rests their ships on Saturn's moon Callisto, called Callistoi, as it bears similarities to the home world of Davari Prime in both temperature and atmosphere composition. They begin to set up small surviellance systems where they land their ships in order to better monitor activity in the Saoli system.
 * The Azaranian terraforming of the Mars base is nearly complete, with the atmosphere and shielding up and opperational, and gravitational optimization now online. Temporary habitations are set up for diplomat type peoples, and an intercity supplies relay is set up to send ammo to the two planetary defence guns. Nanites are to be used in the establishment of permanant habitation for all azaranians in the system, and to optimize the soil so that the outside is more green and whatnot. Experimental processes of building large scale buildings using small EMCs are being tested on the core worlds. The Azaranian First Fleet is sent to escort the Azaranian diplomats to Galleon-6 and as a show of power the Azaranian Dreadnought Ascension is sent there aswell. As a concequence, the Operators of the azaranian planetary defences are given direct orders to shoot to kill any boguies not identified within one light minute of Galleon 4 on course to the planet, as to keep locations and whatnot a secret. A division of Dark force operatives are sent to the Soram crash site to try to identify the meaning of the signal sent to Mirtiosalay, they find the Soram ship, and quickly determine that the crash was caused by an Azaranian EMP in the Galleon system. to try and hide their guilt, the Azaranian clean up the site, as if nothing ever happened. Anti stealth measures are set up in the Azaranian FTL scanning systems(FTLDAR).
 * Praetorian Empire: After another Promethean Fleet attempts to attack us, we decide to use the void cannon. The Promethean World it is fired on is stripped of all life, and wiped clean, leaving nothing but bare rock. We ask the Prometheans to stop attacking us. SECRET: Shapeshifters in the Promethean Fleet succeed in destroying the Promethean Ships going to the Soram Crash Site.


 * The Destruction of the one singular Promethean ship is pushing the bounds of logic and reason...even if you did have many shapeshifters in the Promethean gov, it is highly unlikely that you had one in the crew of that one ship probably of handpicked personnel.
 * I basically have the logictical department of the Promethean Empire under my control. They would move the shapeshifters around a lot, so the chances are significantly higher than you would first think
 * You're both implausble. Local, you don't have that many shapeshifters in his population. Rat, you've lost thousands, if not tens of thousands, of ships by now. And LOCAL. DUDE. You're not close enough to their homeworld. You're fighting on a different front than the more powerful Centrians, and even we haven't reached there yet. Give the Firstborn a chance to enter the war, hmm?
 * Yeah sure, that is what I was trying to do in the first place. Oh and NEWS FLASH:I am not sending thousands of ships, my Empire was bred for war for the past 20,000 years. You think I wouldnt have so many ships. Well yeah I have that many ships under my control. Now you have two choices, either cross out part of his turn or cross out mine. Oh and whoever posted here is right: you can't possibly have THAT many shapeshifters, plus another Great Purge has started.
 * You can have that many ships. I have way more. S'all good. And Rat, for fuck's sake, where did you go to school? The Centrians have been around for five MILLION years. We've been united for four MILLION years, and spacefaring for 3.5 MILLION years. We were old before you guys existed. We've driven other races - the Dalexi (Their capital was Skarofaar) and Aranjans - to extinction. You're like an rat. Literally. And even the Centrians are like ants to the Regentech - and they're suporting us. Sup?
 * I have said why I have that. I don't have that many in terms of total population, but I have control of the logistics, meaning I can ensure I put shapeshifters in every important mission. I will change it if it is that important. Also, that wasn't their homeworld. That was literally just one of their worlds. A world at random.
 * Argentina: Orion-1 Missile launch has been hasted in order to improve the national defense, results seem promissing so far, a Second-Stage Sounding Rocket is on development using Orion-1 as a base platform; the "Unification Through Fear" policy (by the Media) has been quite succesfull creating a "Nationalist" pride against external influences and helping growing the armed forces; however an small rebel faction is growing fed by poor workers and literary universities, most of them fold to the Socialist Ideology, they are fighting against the Fascist Regime through ideology spreading and information gathering, in time this movement will take a more direct approach. One radio amateur from Corrientes caught a weird signal on the broadband, he managed to record it before the signal was jammed by more powerful signals of unknown origin.
 * Rasheen Kingdom: Thanks to our new traded resources and to a more dynamic economy control, we have managed to finished a more than a third of the requested starships, however the Kingdom requires more firepower, so a Thousand more starships are put into line of production. Even though our AI are highly able to sustain combat functions wih little crew, the Space Forces are been grown in order to extend our Fleet capabilities. We are about to begin a colonization/mining process of a giant gas planet 6.8 light years away from Sol System. Our comprehension of the Native Earthlings has increased, however our comunication protocol has been jammed by the poweful nations on earth, we begin to notice deception as a standart measure taken by their goverments, so we will atempt to reduce our broadcasting to specific minor targets away from major nations (a couple of LOS Type Ship are sent with several drones).


 * Promethean Diplomacy: We ask for the Rasheen Kingdom to join us in our fight against the Centrians.
 * Rasheen Diplomacy: We unfortunately are going to politely decline your proposal, we're currently on a Trading Agreement with the Cyclarchy of Centri.
 * Meridian Consul: All domestic economic programs continue, putting millions of lower class citizens into work to improve the infrastructure of our core planets. The creation of advanced shipyards of space vessels continues, with several being laid down across Meridian and Incipientes in Monsmanu alone. Several more Atlos-class carriers are completed, allowing for others to replace them in mass production. The newly created ships are planned to be incorporated into the military within the next few months. Several task groups of research and scouting ships are sent to venture around our immediate borders, and to traverse the trade routes toward our trading partners. Mining operations continue, leading to the creation of a well oiled production line, and a standardized system for transporting minerals and ores across the nation. We are pleased that diplomatic ties have been opened between us and some neighboring nations. After forming contact with the Rasheen Kingdom, the Fifth Galactic Reconnaissance Task Group, a collection of trade, research, and scouting ships, accompanied by the 9th carrier battle group, led by the newly appointed MCS Atlos carrier, in ordered to continue its journey. We request that all nations of the galaxy adopt a universal system for co-ordinates across the galaxy, and we prepare to meet with cartographers from around the galaxy to create a new system.
 * Rasheen Diplomacy: We agreed to your proposal, a Unified Co-ordinates System will benefit our mutual trading/spacefaring exchage, Our Cartographers are on their way.

New Turn?

Dravimosian Empire: The Empire continues to plan for open war with other nations, particularly the Firstborn. Dravimosian military strategists believe that the Empire and its allies would win such a conflict, but they must incorporate all possible variables into their calculations. The Empire denies the Promethean's request, stating that the Empire and the Prometheans are interested in the humans for vastly different reasons. A coded message in several languages is prepared to be transmitted to Earth within the next six months.

Soviet Union: The Union keeps up its miliary drills and incorporates Mongolia into the Warsaw Pact. The space program is expected to reach the moon within the next three years.

1966.75
 The Soviet Union and the United States situation at the Vietnamese DMZ remains stagnated, while their respective armies continues their preparations under international concern. 

 The different Alien Nations gathered at the Solar System, while remaining hidden from the public, improve their economies and armed forces as they re-inforce trading pacts in order to prepare themselves for an escalation in the already volatile situation. 

 While some empires declare war and conduct military operations on their respective territories, other nations are beginning to claim different territories on the Solar System leaving the Earth untouched for now. 

' The Firstborn and its allies move their forces to battle-ready positions. A Firstborn-Soram fleet enters the Sol System, keeping outside the orbit of Uranus. The fleet is currently the largest in the system. Soram ships begin the recovery of the crashed ship, and begin to think some of it may have hit Earth as well. '


 * Japan: Japan builds up its Self Defence Forces. Takuya Yokoyama continues writing the second volume of Satori Maiden.
 * Oriental Hermit Republic: A fleet continues to be prepared for exploring outside of the Oriental Hermit's Domain. The military is built up.
 * OAC: We trade and we continue tracking Chinese radios. We continue learning Chinese, albeit slowly. We build factories on our home planet. We begin sending some of our fleet to the moon to track more human radio signals. We build a small base on Mare Frigoris and we learn basic English from some radio signals.
 * The Regenetech become more aware of several states taking a presence in the Sol System and deploys two more fleets to orbit the outermost planet of Pluto. A special task force quasifleet is also deployed to the principal satellite of Solofix. Solofix yx mor to maintain view of Solofix without being on the planet. Scout droids are deployed around the area of the Sphinx and Easter Island.
 * Praetorians: The void cannon is now operational, and we fire it at a Promethean planet. The planet is wiped clean of life, and the ship returns to Praetorian Space. Another void cannon is approaching completion. We push the Prometheans back out of Praetorian Space. We send a strike force to the moon, and, careful so as not to aggravate any of the other species, we attack Promethean Forces there, and defeat them.
 * Australia: We continue working towards making a rocket to go to the moon. It is expected that in one year we will be able to land an unmanned rocket on the moon, and take off again, and in three years, land a man on the moon.
 * Promethean Empire: Our forces are sent to the Sol System to retake our positions on Luna and are successful. We begin the construction of a bunch of mass drivers to bombard the planet with tungsten rounds as well as depleted uranium rounds. Meanwhile back on Promethean Space, we launch a major counterattack codenamed Operation:Imperial Wrath. Although we suffer heavy casualties, we are able to force the Centrians off our location and catch a shapeshifter amongst the Royal Family after a guard overhears a discussion with the Praetorian government and is captured for interrogation. After several days, we find out about a void cannon and we mind control him just long enough to steal the blueprints. We also send ships to establish a permanent base on the planet the Terrans call Jupiter, in both orbit and in the four "Gallilean Moons".
 * Oh god ... Ratc. No. Mind control is humans only, Shapeshifters are almost impossible to find, especially the ones given such high up tasks, as they are highly trained. You are a weak Tier 2 nation, you won't successfully counter attack, and the shapeshifters were sent in before the void cannon was discovered. They don't know about it. Also, Sol is basically out of your grasp.
 * Establishing a permanent base is going to take a very long time.
 * I already banned Ratc anyway. That's one extra day, Ratc.
 * Mechs: The situation regarding The Forge continues to be analyzed. Secrecy at this point is impossible. Accessing and retrieving The Forge will result in the destruction of several human settlements in Mexico. Attempting to hold the dig site will draw attention from humans and the other aliens in the system. However, not retrieving The Forge could result in another race finding it. Proposition 660 is approved. A Mech fleet is prepared in Mech Space before preparing to warp to the Sol System.
 * Rasheen Kingdom: Our Economy suffers a little stagnation as it's hastily reorganized. However, we're seeing progress indicators; more ships are being launched as our army grows in order to deal with the Interplanetary situation; our Sol System Task Force is sent to occupy the fifth planet's orbit (L-2 point) since we have plans to exploit the gases from the great giant and to create an outpost on its main satellite (codenamed Ganymede by the Terrans); Our Majesty The Purple Queen Zeryaá has been granted the title of "overviewer of the Terran Planet" by the Alee-huaját Parliament. Our communication efforts with the Terrans remains unsuccessful as our signals aren't decoded or jammed. However, one of our LOS-Type ships has contacted a small radio operator on Earth. We are waiting to see if he can understand our message.
 * Rasheen Diplomacy: In view of the excellent performance of the trading pact enacted betwen us and the Meridian Consul and the Dravimosian Empire, we'll like to propose a Non-Aggression Pact between our Kingdom and both respective civilizations.
 * Dravimosian Diplomacy: We agree.
 * Argentina:  The repressive politics of Onganía's government has caused a "Brain Drain" from the country, the "Alien Fear" media campaign is at its peak, and the military has almost duplicated its initial number since last year June; the Orion-1 Project continues to yield significant results. Internationally, the USA is starting to dislike the increasing militaristic program of Argentina (it's prohibited by the CIA America's program). The Northeastern Radio Amateur Association is currently trying to understand the origin and meaning of the unknown signal broadcast to several specific points on earth (Northern Argentina is one of them).
 * The New Azaranian FTLDAR systems in the Galleon system manage to pick up a faint signature in orbit of Galleon-3. The vessels in question are identified as Mech...A message is sent to the vessel attempting to vie for a response to why they are here. Information of this find is sent to The Azaranian Emperor, and makes this information secret for the moment. All military personnel, SO-03 and above are notified of Mech presence, and are given permission to disseminate information as they see fit amongst troops stationed in Galleon. Meanwhile, the Azaranians send a probe to analyze happenings on earth (masking its signatures, of course). Meanwhile, the Azaranians discover, using FTLDAR, an unknown vessel trying to mask its signatures on a trajectory to Galleon-4 (the Promethean scout). As soon as it was detected, and refused to answer hails, and after warnings, it was blown out of the sky by the orbital defences with one stroke.
 * Dravimosian Empire: The Empire's military is fully mobilized and ready to fight should the need arise. Planetary shields for every major colony world and homeworld are activated. Negotiations with the Brudahka start to improve, with two pieces of information presented to the Brudahkan Queens. The first is that a series of environmental effects in Arsalom's atmosphere may render it uninhabitable within one hundred years. The second is footage of the Prometheans and Praetorians fighting each other in the Sol system, and pointing out that the Prometheans and Firstborn are not friendly to those that they conquer. Both of these sway many of the Queens, but some need to be convinced of the Empire's claim to represent the interests of its member species. To do so, the Emperor holds a joint conference between the Queens and the Councilors of each race of the Empire. They all agree that the Empire has done nothing but good for each of them, and they each explain how the Empire has benefited each race. This sways the remainder of the Queens, who promise that the Brudahka will join the Empire within twenty years. This is kep highly secret. Hoping to obtain the same result with the humans, the Empire transmit a signal to major cities on Earth in English, Spanish, German, Arabic, Russian, French, Portuguese, Hindi, and Chinese. The message only explains to humanity that they are not alone, that even now the humans are in danger as a species, and that the government of the Empire would like to hold a conference with the humans at a location ot their choosing. The Emperor sends a transmission to his counterparts of the Grand Alliance, inviting them to attend such a conference as well. He also proposes adding another race to the Grand Alliance, and that the three emperors should consider it to reflect the changing geopolitical situation. LET'S GO! NOW IT GETS FUN!
 * ​Regen Emperor Vlasvar CVII agrees to attend such a conference and sends its own radio signals out from Base 1 (Easter Island) and Base 3 (Incan Pyramids).
 * The Azaranians agree and send a radio signal (unintentionaly overwriting traditional television broadcasts within range) from the orbital probe, greeting the citizens of Galleon-3 with a traditional first contact package and the fact that they have been watched ... the signal could be redirected in such a way that all radios and televisions of only the main government buildings, as it seems that Galleon-3 is still divided between nation-states. This is, however, done as not to create political divison, and the Azaranians are a bit angered that the humans were contacted before they could even leave their planet and discover the Azaranians' installation on Galleon-4. The message also announces that the emperor of the Azarath himself, Azkar'Zento Scenobye XI, will be at a meeting, and he hopes all of planet earth's leaders will come. Special messages are sent to the US and USSR governments, as they seem to be the leaders of planet earth, asking for their sincere co-operation and request that they come to the meeting, as well as the UK gov. since they control the site of the Azaranian Interplanetary Transport relay on planet earth.
 * Rasheen Diplomacy: We agree to attend such meeting and we augment our signals previously sent.
 * Whoa whoa whoa! too fast! We should be meeting superpowers/UN perm. security council first. If you take over the TVs, you'll cause global anarchy.
 * Just that last part... xD
 * Oh, right, forgot about anarchy ... oh anarchy ... always coming to ruin the damn fun. Changed it to only capital buildings' TV and Radios. 
 * The United States receives the first signals being transmitted from space and from Easter Island and the government is still reeling from the news. President Johnson decides that a decoy will be sent to meet the hypothetical aliens on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific Ocean, with several other armed forces present just in case. The United States also understands the Soviets have been informed of this and encourage them to bring their own armed forces to meet with the aliens in the same location as the Americans. This news is kept completely secret from the general public.
 * Centria, though aware of the Grand Alliance teams, sends down three Nowarb-Class fighters, mdoifed for atmospheric use, to the *ahem* POLITBURO OF THE SOVIET UNION with three Drones (Diplomats & Leaders), three Sapienti (Scientists), a company of the Scout Corps (The non-Centrian division of the Aggression (Our Joint Military Command) and a company of the Passion (our Joint Defense Command) to treat with the Senior Government of the Super Power. We suggest that they co-operate with us such that we can protect them against influences in the galaxy that might wish to harm them - citing the battle on the moon, which they must have seen, as an instance where our forces have already protected them.
 * India, taken by utter surprise by the First Contact, pulls back troops from its borders to pacify crowds in many cities who believe that they are some sort of Demon (Asura). This turns out to be a mistake, however, as neighborings states (Pakistan) are unable to control their own population and thousands of refugees pour across the now under-manned border.
 * Gemini Federation: Discovery of the Sol System is made by the Solarian-led task force. Seeking to establish a permanent base in the system, the worlds of Mars and Venus are claimed by the Gemini, and military bases set up while a larger fleet is sent to secure the locations. The government decides to be contacting members of the human governments, and seek out of a peace settlement with one of them. Desire to gain a foothold on the one populated planet in the system becomes a major goal of the Gemini Federation. As such, Solarian psions and Gemini diplomats are sent to Sol III to initiate contact with the native species on the planet known as the humans, with whom the Federation's citizens practically mirrior in appearance. Seeking out the least dangerous of the nations of Earth, the Federation chooses the nation known as Ethiopia, which is a major power by the standards of its neighbors, but very weak in global politics, allowing the Gemini to gain a level of control over the nation.
 * Ethiopia: The aliens known as the Gemini land outside of the capital of Addis Ababa, and seek out the leader of the nation. The local citizens are terrified of the alien intruders, and flee to their homes while military personnel head out to confront the off-worlders. When the intent of the aliens is made clear, the commanding officer agrees to see if the Emperor of Ethiopia will grant them an audience. The arrival of the Gemini and their Solarian brethren has shocked the nation, leading to many powerful Ethiopian leaders pushing for countless reforms in the government to aid in protecting the nation from a potential invasion. Hailie Selassie does what he can to gain the support of opponents within his government to grant him additional room to operate as the Gemini near the city center.
 * No direct contact yet.
 * Soviet Union: The government is paralyzed after they receive the transmission. Brezhnev and his government, unsure of how to respond, flees Moscow. When they don't return in a week's time, the military, declaring that enough is enough, storm the capital on Christmas day and declare the Brezhnev government to have abandoned the people. The military puts retired Marshal Zhukov into the position of premier, feeling that both his military expertise and his positive relations with the West. The military re-establishes a Politburo that is more expansionist and militaristic. The Soviet Union announces that it will phase out the Warsaw Pact and replace it with a stronger military alliance for Communist nations worldwide. Belief in a "Worldwide Union of the People" gains popularity, and the new military government begins negotiations with Mongolia and Bulgaria regarding the two state's previous desires to join the Union (This is legit, look it up). Production of military goods and weapons skyrockets. Initiatives such as nuclear weapons testing and the moon mission are accelerated, to prove to the aliens of our strength and potential. Curfews and rationing are enacted to put the nation on a wartime footing. The new government of the Soviet Union proposes meeting the alien delehation at the U.N., where all the other nations can attend as well.
 * The Centrians have sent down a delegation to treat with your government. (we were given right of First legitimate Contact)
 * The United States insists that such a large event cannot be shared with other nations and must be kept within the Permanent Security Council until a decision is reached.
 * The decisions that are made at such a meeting would affect humanity as a whole, and therefore all of humanity must be informed of what is happening. My, you're really blacklisting posts, aren't you?
 * The decisions that are made at such a meeting would affect humanity as a whole, and therefore all of humanity must be informed of what is happening. My, you're really blacklisting posts, aren't you?

1967.00
 Mod events come NOW! 

' The many governments of the world begin panicking over the First Contact. Although no aliens have landed on Earth yet, the governments begin rationing common goods should war break outt.  '

' Many Western governments are supportive of the Soviet Coup, hoping it will bring in a new era of co-operation and friendship. Some are still skeptical of this change.  '

' First Contact day is set as December 18th, the day many nations recieved the transmission from the Grand Alliance. This is still highly secret at the moment. '
 * Japan: Japan builds up its Self Defence Forces. Takuya Yokoyama continues writing the second volume of Satori Maiden.
 * Oriental Hermit Republic: A fleet is prepared for exploring outside of the Oriental Hermit's Domain, and a ship is set to leave a few months later this year. The military is built up.
 * In the words of Marcus Burnett ... This shit just got real! Centria: As the Coalition forces advance on one of the last reamining Promethan strongholds, defeating the scratch Navy that attempted to defend it, the Centrian forces suddenly turn on our allies! (See, Local, I told you we had different goals. And yes, I will win this war - though with difficulty - because though we are both Type 3, the Centrians are Upper-3 and the Praetorians are lower. That said, it will take many years - perhaps even decades) Though the Praetorian fleets in that particular region slightly outnumber their Centrian counterparts, the Centrians forces are better organized and have the element of surprise; half the Praetorian fleets are eliminated before they even manage to defend themselves, and just one or two ships escape to Hyperspace. This is followed by similar attacks throughout Promethan territory and Praetorian, though we do not attack Praetorian worlds, and the Praetorian fleets are decimated (and I do mean decimated - reduced by one tenth.) as the Centrian ships use all the weapons at their disposal to destroy utterly the fleets in the region. We have witnessed the extinction of six races and forced two of those to that point, and we will not do so again. We protect life. BIOPUNK, UNITE! Meanwhile, FIGHTERS CONTAINING DIPLOMATS ARE SENT TO THE CAPITALS OF CHINA, AMERICA, RUSSIA, the UK, FRANCE, AND INDIA. Scraw gave me first contact. This is A-OK.
 * Guns, Scraw has struck through every one of my posts for several turns. In effect, I don't HAVE any fleets in Promethean Space. You just killed ... I don't know, the five or six ships I sent against them right at the start?


 * No, you have fleets there; it was just your 'void cannon' that was taken down.


 * Read my turns. I haven't actually been allowed a turn for ages. I haven't got any fleets in Promethean Space.


 * Fixed. I just attacked your space too. HFWT!
 * Why India, though?
 * Because they are a very populous nation. Because I control them. Because, shut up. By the way, we literally saved like three Promethan worlds. That's all they have.
 * The United States government is shocked at the presence of more aliens and major newspapers are quietly informed that aliens exist.
 * No shit, hmm?
 * Mechs: The Forge Recovery fleet makes it to Earth. Composed of three worker transports, two quantum communicators, five construction ships, a science ship, and five squadrons of fighters, the fleet is moving to Earth. Meanwhile, intel on the galactic community is analyzed. Most languages of the major races has been deciphered by spy ships, but work is still needed. The Mechs release a statement to most major races saying "GREETINGS, GALACTIC COMMUNITY OF 65.024.013//WE=MECHS//SENTIENT SYNTHETIC BEINGS//MECHS=MEAN NO HARM//ONLY SEEK FORGE//.
 * OAC: We trade and we continue tracking Chinese radios. We continue learning Chinese, albeit slowly. We build factories on our home planet. We begin sending some of our fleet to the moon to track more human radio signals. We learn English and we send a spy to U.K to buy a English Dictionary.
 * Veridi Imperial Republic: Infrastructure continues to expand in the home systems, allowing for larger and more expansive industrial worlds. More Veridi begin to colonize the outer systems, following mining corporations for jobs and trade guilds for merchant opportunities. The colonial fleets continue to colonize some of the non-colonized outer systems, and they continue to build a Veridi Collider around one solar systems sun, which is a red giant, in order to create enough atomically small black holes to remove the fuel from the red giant, therefore causing it to collapses into a white dwarf star. The planets to be colonized are not named, and rather numbered until successful colonies have been establish and continuously supplied. Development of a new flagship is finished, and the first one takes its first flight around the planet of Davari Prime in order to both show it off, and create a sense of awe for the Veridi population. The court fleet uses the surveillance equipment on Caellistoi, Saturn's moon, to listen to various Earth radios, and transmissions of various other civilizations. The more long-term base begins construction on the moon of Saturn as the order has been given to extend their scouting mission.
 * India is one of the many nations who receive a message from the Centrians. Despite initial shock, the PM agrees to meet with these aliens, who insist on a meeting of world leaders to discuss unification and protection from any... hostile aliens. We are informed that the Centrians have already defended us against two foes who might have wished to destroy us and claim our planet. We are also informed that there are... strange signals emitting from throughout the globe, though concentrated in Mexico. These appear to be the remains of some vastly powerful object that struck the Earth approximately 65 million years ago.
 * Meridian Consul: All domestic economic programs continue, putting millions of lower class citizens into work to improve the infrastructure of our core planets. The creation of advanced shipyards of space vessels continues, with several being laid down across Meridian and Incipientes in Monsmanu alone. Several more Atlos-class carriers are completed, allowing for others to replace them in mass production. The newly created ships are planned to be incorporated into the military within the next few months. Several task groups of research and scouting ships are sent to venture around our immediate borders, and to traverse the trade routes toward our trading partners. Mining operations continue, leading to the creation of a well oiled production line, and a standardized system for transporting minerals and ores across the nation. We are pleased that diplomatic ties have been opened between us and some neighboring nations. After forming contact with the Rasheen Kingdom, the Fifth Galactic Reconnaissance Task Group, a collection of trade, research, and scouting ships, accompanied by the 9th carrier battle group, led by the newly appointed MCS Atlos carrier, remains near our border, monitoring the situation. We detect evidence of a battle in a nearby system to the Task Group’s station. We mobilize several ships to the MCS Atlos’ position in case of an attack or a call to protect the trade route into Rasheen space.
 * Rasheen Diplomacy: Due to our excellent trading relationship has been evolving seemingly smoothly, we like to propose a "Non-Aggression Pact" based on the recognition of each other's territorial claims (except for Earth) and respecting each other's fleet.
 * Meridian Diplomacy: We accept your offer of a non-aggression pact.
 * Praetorian Empire: Taken by surprise by the attacks from Centria, we strike back en masse, launching a full assault on the Centrian Forces within our territory. Following Centrian Contact with several nations, we decide to contact Australia, who we already have a base in the land of. We make contact, but are then forced to retreat as news of the Centrian Attacks on the Empire reaches Earth. We abandon the Sol System, and the forces we had in Sol attack the Centrian Fleets from behind, sacrificing themselves for the Empire. As the Centrians are distracted by the suicide attack from the rear, a counter attack is launched, pushing them from Praetorian Space. Defense Networks are activated on the border worlds, and diplomats are sent to Centria asking why they are attacking us. We also send diplomats to all the races we have contacted, requesting aid or neutrality in this war.
 * Centria D: The Centrians inform the galaxy that it was the Praetorians who started this war! They wished to totally destroy the Promethans, something we would not stand for, and so they attacked us! We will force this race of genocidal maniacs (That's irony- have you guys read local's nation page?). We launch huge attacks into their territory, making extensive use of Class A and B Sigma fields.
 * Praetorian Diplomacy: We have not even attacked the Promethean Territory, only defeated the fleets they send against us. The only nation attacking Promethean Territory is Centria, not us. Do not let us be destroyed based on nothing but the lies of a treacherous race. (Yeah, read my nation page. Ironic. BAD GUNS)
 * Centria D: We have saved many races from extinction before. This entire sector would have been overwhelmed by the Aranjans and Dalexi millions of years ago if it weren't for us. Do not anger Centria. We were an ancient race before you evolved, pups.
 * The Regenetech Empire ultimately decides to take a greater stance in galactic aggressive affairs and lands three "short" (by Regen standards) genreathites (the only humanoid race in the empire) to infiltrate Washington DC, Moscow, and New York City. President Johnson and Premier Zhukov are contacted by the agents sent after them, while the third agent keeps tabs on humanity in New York.
 * Was it one of your Shukoffs that visited Zhukov? xD
 * XD sure why not!
 * Soviet Union: Premier Zhukov enters negotiations with the Aliens that entered the capital. Nothing has happened so far of major interest. Brezhnev and his government are arrested near Volgograd and are placed under house arrest. Negotiations with the Bulgaria and Mongolia over potential statehood continue, and are likely to succeed within the year. Five new republics are created in the Soviet Union, the Tuvan People's Republic, the Karakalpak Soviet Socialist Republic, the Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic, the Crimean Soviet Socialist Republic, and the Tartar Soviet Socialist Republic, bringing the total number of republics up to twenty. Military drills continue and more nuclear weapons are made. The Soviet Union still maintains that the meeting of the alien delegates should take place at the U.N.
 * Rasheen Kingdom: Our economy progresses as it stabilizes and the external flux of products increase our consuming, The RK Fleet added 500 new ships, while the regular forces improve the numbers and tactics, by the Order of the "Highest Ones" a new mining/foo-producing colony has being opened at a nearby system (7.8 Light years from Sol system), the first Transport ship carrying the machinery and elements to build the Caturthōpagurū Military Base (Terran's Ganymede) has arrived and so has begun the construction of the Outpost. The "Eira-Tráum Civilian Mining camp" is on hold until the Outpost is finished. Now that the Centriarch of Centri and several others civilization has reveal themselves, we have begun sending our coded message to the whole Terran Planet.  We have received an answer to one of our messages, communication efforts with the Terrans are now in effect.
 * Argentina: The "Alien Fear" campaign has made the Argentinians extremely fearful and xenophobic and now that the aliens have revealed themselves, fear and rioting has ignited throughout the country. Gen. Onganía has been deposed by a new military junta, and imprisioned Lte. Gral. Julio Rodolfo Alsogaray being the most influential of the three. Repressive and Xenopohobic/anti-Leftist politics continues (albeit decreased). The Leftist movement suffers a schism, one half begin taking paramilitary actions while the other remains acting from an ideological ground awaiting to begin physical confrontation. Rocket program has advanced greatly, the Orion-2 Rocket is now being tested alongside the New Canopus-1 Rocket. The Northeastern Radio Amateur Association has decoded the message. It's formed using Fibonacci and Pi Sequences. Albeit incompleted, once they resent the signal previously completing the named sequences, they received a longer message to be decoded. This time it seems to be binary.
 * The United States intercepts the aliens. The groups known as the Regen, in rough English, seem to be non-harmful, but they urge the government to make peace with the east as soon as possible and unite to combat the greater threat from beyond. The Regens also promise aid in space travel after this peace is reached. In other news, the Apollo 9 mission lands on the moon with Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and someone else who I don't know yet onboard. Rioting occurs in major cities like Los Angeles, New York and Washington, but the National Guard is deployed in several locations. The Regen reveal themselves to the public, informing them of their intentions of goodwill and protection of the human race, and many humans accept this, mostly due to the similarity in appearance to the humans.
 * Dravimosian Empire: The Empire still awaits the answer of the humans as to where the summit shall be held. Security in the Sol system is intense, with massive amounts of fleets patrolling on account of the summit. Mass production of weapons, armor, automatons, and medicine begins, ready to supply the Empire and its allies once war breaks out. Breeding restrictions on the Xeraji are lifted, and the population enters a growth spurt. The Emperor spends long hours in his office aboard the flagship of the Sol Fleet, pondering how the Empire can take advantage of the war to strenthen the Empire and fulfill the mandate of protecting life. With the Brudahka about to become absorbed, he is quite confident, and no longer fears the onset of the Seventh Galactic War, something that has cost the Empire before...
 * Orc Empire: a ship crashes on earth. The ship lands in a city called Washington DC. Meanwhile, a ship lands back home that appears to be a Promethean ship - which we take.

Mod Events: Let's do this Right for one turn...

''' In response to the Mech presence, lower and middle class residents of the Yucatan area begin to riot. The Mexican military is distracted from the north and is refocused on the south. '''

'''Human leaders gather in New York for a U.N. meeting with the leaders of the Grand Alliance. The meeting is top secret, and the Alien leaders manage to enter New York without detection. '''
 * Meridian Consul: All domestic economic programs continue, putting millions of lower class citizens into work to improve the infrastructure of our core planets. The creation of advanced shipyards of space vessels continues, with several being laid down across Meridian and Incipientes in Monsmanu alone. Several more Atlos-class carriers are completed, allowing for others to replace them in mass production. The newly created ships are planned to be incorporated into the military within the next few months. Several task groups of research and scouting ships are sent to venture around our immediate borders, and to traverse the trade routes toward our trading partners. Mining operations continue, leading to the creation of a well oiled production line, and a standardized system for transporting minerals and ores across the nation. We are pleased that diplomatic ties have been opened between us and some neighboring nations. After forming contact with the Rasheen Kingdom, the Fifth Galactic Reconnaissance Task Group, a collection of trade, research, and scouting ships, accompanied by the 9th carrier battle group, led by the newly appointed MCS Atlos carrier, remains near our border, monitoring the situation. We detect evidence of a battle in a nearby system to the Task Group’s station. We mobilize several ships to the MCS Atlos’ position in case of an attack or a call to protect the trade route into Rasheen space. We ask for a formal alliance with the Rasheen Kingdom, the Praetorians, and the Xlax Imperium, hoping to protect our mutual trade interests. We condemn the Cyclarchy of Centri’s aggressive actions against the Praetorians, and demand that they relinquish their attacks against them. We secretly meet with our allies and propose the idea of forming a coalition against the Centri. In anticipation of further action we deploy the Grand Imperial Armada of Monsmanu under Lohvis Mongranimperialis Sen Scipius to meet our fleet stationed near the Solar System.
 * Rasheen Dimplomacy: We accepted your proposal to forge an Alliance with your civilization, however, we don't fully support the Idea of attacking the centrians since the haven't attacked Us directly, but rest assured, if the Rasheen Kingdom is needed we will come to our allies.
 * Praetorians: We are grateful for this offer, and accept.
 * The Centrians inform the Consul that the Praetorians were about to commit mass murder on a race. This cannot be tolerated. You are supporting genocidal maniacs. Please cease.
 * Japan: Japan builds up its Self Defence Forces. Takuya Yokoyama continues writing the second volume of Satori Maiden.
 * Oriental Hermit Republic: A ship begins to set sail, and begins exploring outside of the Oriental Hermit's Domain. The military is built up.
 * East Germany: continues to build upon its military.
 * Xlax imperium: The Centrians attacks on the Praetorians worries many and decisions on whether to take action are discussed, but the ultimate decision is to wait.
 * Jaledome: We enter on the grand coalition's side because the Praetorians are an ally. The Stupider colony grows.
 * Meridian Diplomacy: We thank you for supporting our action against the Centria. We request that you mobilize your fleet in preparation for war.
 * Rasheen Dimplomacy: In view we are currently fighting for the same side, we'll like to propose you a Non-Agression Pact between our nations.
 * OAC: We trade and we continue tracking Chinese radios. We continue learning Chinese, albeit slowly. We build factories on our home planet. We begin sending some of our fleet to the moon to track more human radio signals. We learn English and we send a spy to U.K to buy a English Dictionary.
 * Argentina: A tactical team freed Gral Onganía and took him to an undisclosed location igniting an internal war between one side of the army (Supporting him and under his orders) and the other side loyal to the Junta, taking advantage of this, both main sides of the Left Wing have taken a more active paramilitary stance, all of this plunging the country into Anarchy and Civil War, with minimum civilian intervention, mostly being trapped in the crossfire on the cities. The Northeastern Radio Amateur Association has disbanded itself. However, a few members remain transmitting info via the radio to help the refugees. As well, they have managed to maintain certain communication with an unknown species. However, due to the current situation this link has stopped. Two members trapped in a combat area sent one last desperate message to the contacted Alien Civilization.
 * Rasheen Kingdom: two new expansions to the shipyards along to the already existing ones yields 1200 more ships, the once stagnated Rasheen-ká people has now adopted a more active and dynamic position orienting its economy to spacefaring, consuming products and military uses. The Caturthōpagurū Military Base is almost finished. One of our Scout Teams has located a strange sentient non-advanced civilization on a hostile planet. A scientific team is being sent to assess the situation. The new alliance forged with The Meridian Consul has been accepted, and massive defenses are being located around our systems - especially around Arr-Rota. The communications between our fleet and our Terran faction has ceased but we received one last message: "WE ARE IN DANGER, PLEASE SAVE US!" Immediately we dispatched a small task force (one XMC, four GDF, one AAC, two LRS and two LOS type vessels) to retrieve the Terrans who communicated with us.
 * The Azaranian Emperor Arrives in the Galleon system in the Superdreadnought-Starsnatcher Sword of Justice, flagship of the Imperial Fleets (the 1st, 3rd, 15th, 30th, and 104th fleets). The Emperor Arrives at the Azaranian Base on Galleon-4. The Imperial fleets are now stationed around the orbit of Galleon-4. The Azaranian Base has now adequate housing for the emperor, and takes up residence there until the conference. The Emperor and his EEAT escort witll be present. The Emperor is informed that the humans want to meet at a place closest to the capital of their world called the United Nations in the outskirts of a city called New York. The Emperor decides to not take the Sword of Justice to earth, as it is pretty damn big (about 30 km in length, compared to 3 km for dreadnoughts). Instead, he decides to land in a stealth frigate outside the entrance of the UN and enter with the other leaders of the grand alliance and his escort. The Azaranians continue putting money into R&D. One of the scout flotillas finds a new planet inhabited by primitive sentient amphibians. An observation outpost is established on the star named Karazhi. Overstocking on military things. a new fleet is commisisoned headed by the new dreadnought Heart of Fire. The 1006th fleet is now the most technologically advanced fleet in Azaranian space, having stealth dreadnoughts. The Core colonies begin to turn out more military equipment.
 * Praetorians: The defences are fully operational, but the planet of the Evil Ones is too close to the frontier. We ransack all the facilities there, blow open several possible facilities and then place thermonuclear warheads under the tectonic plates and supervolcanoes, evacuate and detonate them from space. The planet's crust is torn apart and it becomes a molten world, with no possiblity of life on the surface.
 * Rasheen Diplomacy: In view we are currently fighting for the same side, we'll like to propose you a Non-Aggression Pact between our nations.
 * Praetorians: We accept.
 * Mechs: The Mech fleet arrives above Earth. The fleet spends a month monitoring calls from the area near The Forge. The Spanish and English languages are learned before more Mech ships monitor other areas of the world, learning the Chinese, Russian, Indian, Arabic, French, Italian, and Japanese languages. The Mechs then send the fleet to the location of the energy pulses. The pulses are concentrated slightly off the shore of Mexico, but the likelihood of the Forge being in once piece is very small. Excavation efforts begin. Barriers are installed around the dig site before the water is drained inside the barriers for faster excavation. A crowd of humans gathers to witness the event.
 * Centria prepares for the third Day of the Saints - the day when every single Centrian melds their minds into the Collective Mind, running full Immersion. Hundreds of fleets are sent to the Mostrev (Sol) system, with relatively little emphasis on the Praetorians, just seeking to prevent counterattacks. For the first time in almost two million years, both the Aggression (Joint Military Command) and the Passion (Joint Defense Command) institute full Immersion to prepare for the airing of the last Warvaunts. Three million years ago, when the Dalexi hordes threatened to overrun half the galaxy, the Warvaunt fleets were created - 1001 (a sacred number) of these massive ships. The battle lasted for just three days but destroyed over 30 stars, one trillion lifeforms and 100 worlds - and all but Fleet Royale, one of 11 fleets created to combat the greatest foe the Centrians have known. Now these Warvaunts will rise once more from the Gas Giants where they were hidden. The costs of this coming war may destroy us. Nearly all our forces are concentrated in Mostrev. May we be equal to the challenge. We are ... THE GHOST GODS (and now it's just plagiarism.)
 * Dravimosian Empire: This should have happened last turn, sorry. The Empire and its government is absolutly horrified at the discovery of sentient artificial life. The economy is put on a full wartime footing, with mass production of all military-related goods. Starship production accelerates. Stocking up on common goods begins on all planets. The Empire begins negotiations with the humans.
 * Soviet Union: The Union continues its military programs. Mongolia and the Soviet Union reach an agreement where Mongolia will join the Union by next year.
 * India: suggests unification with Pakistan in the wake of these events, to better protect our citizens (Mods, be kind).

1967.75
 Mod events: 

' The U.N. meeting with the leaders of the Grand Alliance begins. Discussions can take place on the talk page, I guess.  '

' Riots continue in the Yucatan.  '

' The Soram State has finished collecting the remaining pieces of their ship that crashed on Mars.    The Firstborn fleet in the Sol System maintains its position, but does not dare strike against the massive Grand Alliance fleet stationed in Earth orbit. '

Pakistan denies India's request, but agrees to extensive military co-operation in case of any "heretic" alien invasion.

'Azaranians cleaned up the Soram crash site. furthermore, Azaranians restrict contact with Mars. The Azaranians allow the usage of the Transportation relay system to the rest of the Grand Alliance in preparation of war.'


 * Japan: Japan builds up its Self Defence Forces. Takuya Yokoyama continues writing the second volume of Satori Maiden.
 * Oriental Hermit Republic: A ship continues to travel and explores the Galaxy. The military is built up.
 * OAC: We trade and we continue tracking Chinese radios. We continue learning Chinese, albeit slowly. We build factories on our home planet. We begin sending some of our fleet to the moon to track more human radio signals. We learn English and we begin writing English books to influence humans.
 * Centria pulls almost out of Praetorian space, leaving behind just a few fleets (approx 10,000 Capital ships; this is 'pulling out' in the Afghanistan sense, not the Vietnam sense). The main armadas of the Aggression- including the Fleet Royale, with the last 91 Warvaunts- are stationed in Sol while the armadas of the Passion are put on the defensive in case of attacks from the Meridian Consul (Why do you attack those who protect life?), sending fleets and War-worlds around the bordrs of our space. Some of the farther-flung colonies are evacuated, and the Scout Corps are put on full alert. By this point, 76% of the population is running Full Immersion, the rest mainly being Queens not involved in the movements or planning. Soon, they too will have Immersed, and then we will strike for life against the foe.


 * Argentina: Civil War continues with heavy battles and casualties around the big cities, specially in Buenos Aires and Cordoba, the leftist parties have reached a truce in order to concentrate all their firepower on the Juntists and Onganists. Anarchy is currently on effect as there's no oficcial power controling the whole argentinian territoy. People is afraid and claiming for the quick end of this war and the restitution of the Democracy, fearing even more so after the events in corrientes. Soldiers and civilians reports Unknown alien ships that appeared and quickly dissapeared during the battle between Juntist and Onganist Forces in the City of Corrientes, and apparently they have abducted two unnafiliated civilians, the strange thing is that even though the armed units attacked them they barely responded fire causing however no casualties.


 * Rasheen Kingdom: Our Shipyards gave 947 more ships to our Military Starfleet as well as 260 to the commercial fleet, while our Military Forces growns using our Reserves and A.I. Level III droids especially created, to supplement the new ship's crews; these new droids work under the Rasheen-Ka Poulia and the Main Ships A.I. command. A Carbon based Insectoid lifeform with limited sentient abilities yet extremely resilient was found on Planet C37-00b04 by our Cientific Team, these beings seem to be able to communicate between themselves using low level "telepathy" and Pheromones and have a quick spawning phase, reaching adulthood in mere weeks; we have captured several specimens (a Queen included) since our Top Scientist believe we can tame these creatures in our behalf. Our Terran contacts has been evacuated in barely one terran hour, however one of them has been wounded by their own armed forces (which we repeled causing minimun damage and no casualties to them) so we have to put him on stasis until we learn more of his biology and how to treat him; the other individual seems afraid yet cooperative, we created one Artificial Inteligence Program level IV (Codename: Jeezhara) specifically to serve as communicational link between him and us.
 * Rasheen Diplomacy: We are afraid that the oncoming war that is on development is going to cause severe damage to the Earth, if are drawn to any military engagement. We also call to every sentient race in the system to meet in the socalled "United Nations Central Building" to discussed our situation with the Terran civilization, we already have one Diplomatic team awaiting there.
 * Dravimosian Empire: The Empire continues to prepare for a cataclysmic war, and many Dravimos begin to volunteer for either military or public service due to a prophecy interpreted in Dravimos religion. The Emperor makes an appeal to the Brudahka queens to speed up the process of absorbing the race into the Empire. The queens agree to reduce the time to join the Empire by a fourth when presented with the Mech threat. The delegation on Earth/Terra is notified of the events, and understand that staying could incite war with the Firstborn. Despite this, they are ordered to remain, thinking that the war could be easily won. Karnehai privateers begin serving in the Seventh Galactic War on both sides, and the government is largely unable to restrain them due to their violent and disobedient nature.
 * Orc Empire: declares war on the centria we send in 300 ships to raid thier colonies.
 * The Centrians laugh at your putrile navy and rip them to shreds with Our heavy Carriers, Dreadnoughts, and Battleships (We have thousands of each in One fleet)
 * we laugh at your fleet and rip it to shreds using our way to advanced ships
 * ^ That shit was funny. They say that the second time you here something it isn't funny, but when you copied what I said, that was just funny.
 * Mechs: The excavation efforts continue. While there is nothing keeping the locals from accessing the dig site, nobody in their right minds wants to go anywhere near the dig site. The Mechs announce that they mean the humans no harm, but reports of humans going missing after entering the dig site sheds doubt on the matter. Meanwhile, the war brewing leads the Mechs to increase their watch over the dig site by sending a sqadron of Mech soldiers to the area and three more squadrons of Mech fighters to patrol above the dig site.
 * Soviet Union: The Union continues military drills in case any situation with the aliens turns hostile. The economy is turned slightly away from absolute communism, although all the facilities for self-sustained production of goods are still maintained should they be needed. Stockpiling of common goods continues.

1968
''' The Seventh Galactic War rages on. The Praetorians launch a major offensive with the support of the Grand Coalition. The offensive is ongiong. '''

''' Thanks to the widening of the war, the Prometheans regroup and recover, presenting a sizable force to act alongside the Grand Coalition. '''

''' More Events later, just because I am lazy right now... '''
 * Promethean Empire:After nearly a year trying to regroup we begin a massive arms buildup before we join the Grand Coalition and decide to send the starship Wrath of the Emperor along with the rest of the 6th Battlefleet to gain control of the gas giant the Terrans call Saturn and its moons, more specifically Titan.
