Battle for Earth Reloaded (Map Game)

This is the Battle for Earth Reloaded Map Game! The first two games died. MP and I tried reviving it last time. Fail. NOW WE TRY AGAIN!

The POD is the same again. Human nations detect an unidentified object crashing onto Mars and exploding. While the Americans blamed the Soviets and vice versa, it became clear that neither side was capable of such a thing.

Meanwhile, the various Alien nations discovered what had happened. Now the Aliens debate on what to do with the planet and its inhabitants...

Rules

 * 1) Please obey the word of the mods and the following rules.
 * 2) While it is an ASB game, please try to be as plausible as possible.
 * 3) You may play as one Human nation. To maintain balance you  absolutely must have a human nation if you want an Alien Nation. Previous contact with Earth is forbidden lest your Alien Nation is a mod/ancient nation. 
 * 4) Turns are in quarter years, or three months.
 * 5) If you are Soviet Union decides to focus completely on Space exploration, then chances are the Americans will take over the world.
 * 6) Please refrain from destroying celestial objects. You can use the action as a threat, however.
 * 7) Please do not uplift Humans too quickly.
 * 8) The oldest a normal Alien nation can be is 20 million years. The species could be older, but that is the limit of the nation's age. Oldest mods nations can be is 50 to 55 million years old.
 * 9) Alien nations cannot have intergalactic technology unless they are several billion years old. Point is, no intergalactic travel.
 * 10) There will be an algorithim for wars on planets (land and sea). There will be no algorithim for space battles, so you must be incredibly plausible.
 * 11) Mods should not gang up on non-mod players.
 * 12) Just because your ability is unique does not mean that it is invincible.
 * 13) If they want, mods have ancient races that can be the oldest at 45-50 million years old. As a result, they automatically have Hyperdrive engines and can choose another ability.
 * 14) If you have any doubts or questions, ask a mod.
 * 15) That should be all the rules. Have fun!

Map
There will be two maps. One of the Milky Way Galaxy, and the other of Earth. Should we need any more, then then we will add them.

Galactic Map


Please, when you add your nations, do not make them bigger than half the size of the Dravimos Empire, capiche? If you make it bigger than that size, your nation will be downsized to the size of the Hanzen Empire.
 * Does that look good? I tried to eyeball it for about half of the Dravimos Empire. If it isn't, I'll gladly change it, just please don't downsize me! CourageousLife 15:55, June 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * You're safe, just not the Skaven. *sigh* Bob, you'll never understand the rules of editing the map, eh? It's not even your turn yet, it's Wegscuba's turn, and your nation is too big. I'll give ya one more chance when it's your turn.

 * Wait, who's turn is it? Vir prudens non contraventum mingit 20:41, June 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wegscuba/Perigrini-Salaamberia
 * Whoa, how come the mechs are in 2nd now?
 * Crim, would you mind uploading the map in .png so it's not so grainy?
 * Agreed. Also, you can't exist outside the galaxy.
 * Sorry to edit the map for you Crim, but we need to keep things going. Bob, it's your turn.
 * Ah, the Mechs are supposed to be really secluded (as in most people have no idea they still exist). Only way I could do that is be on the very fringes of known space.
 * That's as far as you can get while still being inside the galaxy. Sorry :<
 * It says that Bob is done but... I don't see the Skaven. Guns
 * Its ok? (Mantelar Alliance) Bauglir Zero 19:33, July 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Could ya do it again? Just wait an hour or two to get teh Byzantar off the map, OK? The Byzantars ain't supposed to be there yet. FOLLOW THE GOD DAMN RULES DEAN!
 * Bob, after you see the Mantelar on the map, it'sa your turn.
 * Also, save the map in .PNG!!!! .JPG just makes it grainy! Anyone else seen uploading a jpg file will have their nation taken off the map and put back on in .PNG!
 * Its been 3 days now and Bob still hasn't edited the map, can someone move him down the list so the rest off us can get on with it.
 * Why is Bob on the list as Bobby Lugia?
 * I moved him to the bottom. Just someone, please go! Your loving mod, CourageousLife (talk)
 * I put mine on the map and ya'll removed it, why I did it in order, edited it in the full size, and did it in PNG. What is wrong! Bobalugee1940 (talk)
 * OK, I fixed the list. Follow this order or perish.
 * This is over. I'm putting everyone on the map, and you're not. The End.
 * Ok, now I'm confused. Are the players or the mods putting down their countries?
 * Mods.

Alien Nations
When you have created your race, it should look somewhat like this. Keep in mind that mods automatically get Hyperdrive: The Polandian's home planet is divided into two main factions: The Plavers, a nations mainly made out of Type As under the control of the Type Cs, against the Polaners, who are Type Cs who have rebeled against the tyranny of the Plavers, and have influenced a large number of Type As to join the cause of Freedom. Type Bs tend to be neutral in the conflict and continue to develop technologies. You need to have a human nation before get an alien nation.
 * Terran Empire (Flag_of_South_Korea.png PitaKang- (But here's my number | So call me maybe) ): species that evolved 122 million years ago- however, due to infighting and tribal communities, sentience was not achieved until about 78 million years ago. Even then, there was much fighting, and the world was divided into hundreds of small nations. This however, encouraged technical growth and the development of war technologies, as they were constantly at war. 53.2 million years ago, Emperor Adis united the Terran tribes into the Terran Empire. They have been constantly at war.
 * Strengths: (Hyperdrive) (Death Ray Shielding) (Extremely high military and logistical technology)
 * Weaknesses: (Overly Hostile) (Dictatorship state)
 * Soram Empire: Mod controlled, run by a dictatorship and currently embroiled in civil war.
 * Holy Hanzen Empire: Mod controlled, Roman Empire space analog.
 * Regen Flag.png Regenetech Empire, having survived the last two games:  | 
 * Darthor Survivors a group of warrior aliens who work as mercs for the highest bidder be it with money or with the offer of land, highly adaptive and can easily get used to other planets similar to humans in biologyand phisical apperance: strengths: death ray shield, highly adaptive. Weaknesses: no home world (having been destroyed previously and other worlds conquered by other raises due to infighting and no central government), weak genetic diversity (again due to infighting over the past few hundred years all that are left now have try and rebuild)
 * Mantelar Alliance (By: Bauglir Zero), a racial confederacy lead by the angel-like species called Snilloc, is conformed by the red Snilloc, the main race, the green six feet tall Thars war lovers and sharpshooters, the colorful wookie-like Cheves, the white giants of three legged and four arms known as Vomisa, the six legged brown "centaurs" called Varos and the white as snow little humanoids Kajorks, and obviously the Alliance is open to new species or factions willing to follow the Mantelar Code.
 * Strengths:   
 * Weakness:   
 * The Yagor Empire, "The Lonely Race" By Sasafred12
 * Strengths: 
 * Weaknesses:
 * Polandians, "The Small People", The Polandians are like Humans, except that they are smaller and wider. They are 3 Feet High, and Two Wide. There are two types:
 * 1) Type A, Stronger and average smart.
 * 2) Type B, Extremely smart, but lacking in other areas.
 * 3) Type C, the Elite Polandians. Have all the power, thanks to excellent Charisma and Monetary Skills.
 * Strengths: Rapid Reproduction, Small Resource Usage
 * Weaknesses: Divided Homeworld, Racial Confederacy
 * Hey, Racial Confederacy is a Strenght, not a weakness, just say...
 * Really? I considered that a weakness, since the different races don't always get along... TacoCopper
 * Praedonia. Praedonii are small and physically weak, but they are particularly intelligent, especially technologically. They have no homeworld and instead move their entire population on gigantic cargo ships. However, owing to their need for basic resources, they will often attack other ships, unless they have a prior agreement with a civilization not to do so. They have purged their species of all diseases, as, owing to their weak immune system, many of these would be possibly fatal, by using genetic filtering technology. Their greatest scientific achievement is the use of genetic technology to be able to temporarily alter their own DNA, effectively shapeshifting. Over a number of years this technology has been refined.
 * Strengths: Hyperdrive Engine, Genetic Technology
 * Weaknesses: No homeworld, Weak immune systemStSSSSt


 * Umm, I already have a human nation
 * Have to?, rule 3 say: may play, not must play.
 * Those are the rules from the old game.
 * Ok, no problem.
 * My mistake. TacoCopper
 * I now have a human nation.
 * Skaven, "the Empire of Mice" By Bobalugee1940 The Skaven are a relavtivley new species with only about 20,000 years under their belt, the evolved from highly intelligent rodents that had taken the place of reptiles that had ruled their planet for millenia. The Skaven have a very rapid reproduction with reaching full sexual maturity at only 1 year of age. Skaven live an average of 27 lower class and 42 years for the higher class.
 * Strengths: <Extreme Intelligence>
 * Weaknesses: <Complex Government><Low Lifespan>
 * Salambi-Perigrin Empire (both empires united, northern part of the galaxy)Wegscuba 21:54, June 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * <Hyperdrive Engine> <Excessively Large Starfleets>
 * <Weak Immue System><Homeworld In the Middle of nowhere
 * Willster22 01:31, June 20, 2012 (UTC) ​- Caribiu Confederation are a nation of medium sized faun-like people who live on Gliese 581 d thats climate is a mix between the boreal plains and boreal forests of Canada. They are also herbivorous, and their diet is mainly made up of the fruits that look like Earth's pinecones on small shrubs that are like mini pine trees. They also domesticate hooved cows that are brown with black blots that they milk. The milk is very high in nutritional value including protein, calcium, and several vitamins. The pinecone like fruits are high in calories and carbs and are used as an energy food. The nation dish is a soup with a broth made of the milk of a horse-cow and tea made by putting pine needles in boiling water then straining out the remaining solution. The food in the soup is the crushed pinecone like fruit and the roots of the pine tree like shrub.
 * Strengths: <Hyperdrive Engine> <Highly Religious>
 * Weaknesses: <Low-Gravity Homeworld> <Homeworld in the middle of nowhere>
 * Alpha Centauri is the home system of the Regenetech Empire
 * Ahlose Alliance: by CourageousLife
 * Confederacy of three species - the Caborr, the Itbriell, and the Ahlose. The Ahlose - government. The Caborr - research. The Itbriell - Protection.
 * Strengths: <Racial Confederacy> <Technological Malleability> <Hyperdrive (Forgot I was a mod this time)>
 * Weaknesses: <Weak Genetic Diversity (Caborr)> <No Homeworld (Itbriell)> <Divided Homeworld (Ahlose and Caborr)> <Weak Immune System (Ahlose and Itbriell)>
 * Dravimosian Empire
 * Strengths: <Racial Confederacy><Hyperdrive Engine><Sentient Biological Assimilation>
 * Weaknesses: <Complex Government><Overly Hostile>
 * Monster Pumpkin Oh boy, here we go again...
 * Aesir by Axyljonson
 * Strengths: <Superhuman Stength> <Expansive Livespans>
 * Weaknesses: <Homeworld in the middle of nowhere> <High Gravity Homeworld>
 * ​Centri Republic : by: Vir prudens non contraventum mingit (Guns)
 * ​A race of reatures, led by several 'Hives'- like bees or ants- they are divided into six classes- the Soldiers, Workers, Behemoths (A massive type of soldier, around the size of a house, with spikes down its back), Drones, Queens, and the Sapienti. All are exceedingly intelligent (with the exception of the Behemoth), though the Sapienti are the most so. All have variations, except the Queen- for instance, some Behemoths can fly. The have been around for around 15 million years, and have colonized much of the Western Outer Galaxy, though not all. They communicate telepathically. They can also change gene combinations (or, at least Queens can) in order to adapt to new needs (for instance, combating an enemy that can fly by giving their Soldiers/ Behemoths wings. Finally, their Sapenti discovered 5 million years ago how to manipulate energy, matter, and antimatter, which helped them discover FTL travel, with some extraterrestrial help. However, as it is extremely dangerous, it is never used on a large scale (ie, destroying a planet/star) for fear of ripping open a hole in the fabric of the universe. Still, it gives them an impressive military bonus. Unfortuneatley, their home is on the very tip of the Galaxy. Also, their government is exceedingly complex. They are ruled by a council of Queens, though all internal and external diplomacy is performed by the Sapienti. The population is divided into: 20 billion Workers, 7.5 Billion Soldiers, 6 Billion Drones, 2.5 Billion Sapienti, 30 thousand Queens (between one and 8 per hive, depending on the Hive's size. Hives are essentially their cities), and 200 Thousand Behemoths.
 * Strengths: <Telepathy> <Antimatter, Matter, Energy Manipulation> <Genetic Adaption>
 * Weaknesses: <Complex Government> <Homeworld in the Middle of Nowhere>
 * Regular nations cannot have a size of more than 1/16 of the Galaxy. The Eastern Galaxy is split between the Regenetech, Azaranian, and Dravimosian Empires.
 * My bad.
 * The Polarans (by Vivaporius): The Polarans are a race of humanoid cyborgs the hailed from the northern star of Polaris. They inhabit massive city-ships, having strip-mined their homeworld millennia ago. They use their cybernetics technology to increase their rate of reproduction as a replacement for the womb, but this resulted in their weak genetic diversity. They travel their corner of the galaxy strip-mining worlds to fuel and feed their armadas, and seek to strip-mine Earth as well.
 * Strengths: <Hyperdrive Engine> <Advanced Cybernetics>
 * Weaknesses: <No Homeworld> <Weak Genetic Diversity>
 * ​Ryanid F'Er-Mat (by Doctor261): Ryanid F'Er-Mat(Empire) is a dominating race of Ryan planet. It has a Kr'aan May (which translates to Death Ray), which is one of their most powerful weapons installed into battleships. They have a very unique advanced shielding technology, meaning, that they can stand alive in their ships for a longer period of time.


 * Strengths: <Death Ray> <Advanced Shielding>
 * Weaknesses: <Overly Hostile(to humans)> <Homeworld in a Middle of Nowhere>
 * Read rule #3, dammit. Fourth time I said this in this game.
 * if you gen an earth nation, you have my permission to uncross this -Lx
 * Absolutely correct.
 * Playing as TWO characters? Are you mad or something? No wonder why this game is going to die like before <.<' . I'm never going to play as two nations/characters in one game. Ever.
 * Am I mad? No, you have proven that you do not have the capability of managing two nations. You're an actor, right? Ever play two characters in one play? They're in two different scenes. You're not obliged to post as the human nation AND the alien nation in the same turn. The reason we have this rule is because we've learned our lesson. In the last two games, we had a zillion aliens ready to go to war. But we had less than ten nations defending Earth. Simply, the terrorist aliens destroyed Africa, Australia, South America, China, Eastern Europe, and half the Soviet Union. The last two games actually failed because a homicidal terrorist blew up half of the known galaxy in the first game, and the second game because a player did a bunch of weird stuff that turned everyone else away. They failed because we had too many aliens. This is why you have to have a human nation before you get an alien nation. Called the balance of powers.
 * Well, in fact, I didn't play two roles at once? That's exactly the point? And keep that maturity thing to yourself.
 * What I mean is that we switch around: one turn you play the alien nation, next turn you play the human nation. You're not going to play the two roles at once. That's what I tried to tell you.
 * Well. That would be really hard not to "make an alliance between my human and alien nations".
 * What are you talking about?
 * Azaranian Empire: -Lx (leave me a message)The Azaranians are a humanoid race and one of the oldest in the galaxy, aging at nearly 50 million years old. The First and only race to independantly engineer an energy-based FTL drive, Much of the Azaranians' Technology is based upon the maniupulation and transformation of Pure energy. The Elective Monarchy is very selective on who can be the Emperor of the Azrath. Only the Azhuranthia, the Elite members of the Azaranian Race able to conciously manipulate the pure energy around them for their own purposes. Although each Member of the Race possese this hability, the proficiency of an individual to use it ranges from none to able to manipulate time itelf(only prevelant in 0.00000001% of all Azhuranthia, not to mention Azarath). The Emperor is elected by the Council of Azhuranthia, and is a member with an appointed-for-life aid in the position of Emperor of the Planets. there are 8 levels in the Azaranian Governement. Each can make whatever laws they desire, but they may not contradict laws of an upper level. it is getting increasingly complicated to co-ordinate all the levels. A Uniqe trait that comes from the Azhuranthia is their hability to release energy from 7 points in their body, and the impacts of each energy particle with each other and every cell in the body create "radiance Energy", witch makes it possible for an advanced Azhuranthia with almost complete control over their habilites to regenerate each cell in their body, giving them a new body per se but the same mind, if it is successful, the ammount of "radiance energy" in the body makes it nearly impossible for somebody to kill an Azhiranthia that has gone trhough the process of Radial Regeneration for about 15-24 hours after the initial blast of energy. However, while this process can save an Azhuranthia after they are fataly wounded or are on their deathbeds, if resulting in failure, the ammount of stress put on the body's systems(especialy the nervous system) cripples them, and in severe cases causes Death, the Azaranian equivelants to MS, late stage Alzeimer's, and extreme corruption of internal and vital organs. if the energy point in the head is released first, it will blow it to oblivion, and kill almost everyone in a 5-meter radius. There is a more complicated process where an azhuranthia can seperate his conciousness from the body, and merge it with an infant born at the instance it happens(the host only to remember his true self when the mind has ripened). The Azaranian contacted Humans many times in the past, and their habilites to regenerate their bodies and transfer conciousness led the ancient Hindus to mistake them for gods, and led to their beliefs about "reincarnation".
 * Strengths: <Death Ray><Hyperdrive><Manipulation of Energy>
 * Weakness: <Complex Governement><TBD>
 * Byznatar Empire: Born onAlpha Centauri C, the Byzantar Empires histry: 2,561 years after the first city was founded the first Space Shuttle was launched and they landed on there own two moons orbitiong there home world . The Byzantar Empire then began full efforts into epxanding into Space. Colonies were founded all over the galaxy within 1/16 range of the Home World. Now the Empire is an Imperial Republic, and has the latest technology in its section of the universe/galaxy.
 * Strenghts: (Rapid Reproduction) (Hyperdrive Engine)
 * Weakness: (Population expands so rapidly it can be dangerous to current populations if not contained) (Complex Government)
 * >.> This contradict half of the stuff we already have. Also, non-mod nations do not know about Earth and it is forbidden to have land inside the Sol System.
 * Thats ust stupid. But ill go along
 * Mech Network (by CrimsonAssassin): Created 65 million years ago as a labor force by an ancient, enigmatic race known only as 'Phantoms', the Mechs gained sentience and revolted. The ensuing war resulted in the destruction of the once-great Phantom and galaxy-wide destruction. The last battle with the Phantoms occured over a massive terraforming tool known as The Forge over Earth. The Forge was lost and crashed to Earth. The Mechs, rather than taking over the Phantom empire, traveled to the far reaches of the galaxy to create their own 'nation'. Fading into legend, the Mechs haven't contacted any organics since then, its military force offline but ever-growing. When a beacon from a fragment of the lost Forge is activated on Earth, the Mechs have returned to known space.
 * Strengths: (Rapid Reproduction) (Mech Virus) (Hyperdrive)
 * Weakenesses: (Overly Hostile) (Homeworld in Deep Space)

The Game
"Let the games begin!" ~ Yours Truly, Scrawland

1965.5

 * Galactic Event: The Soram Sol Investigation Fleet loses three ships. One crashes into Mars, another into Venus, burning up in the atmosphere, and a third into Deimos. The Americans point fingers at the Russians, and vice-versa, but it becomes clear that neither side has the capability to have caused such a strange event. Globally, newspapers begin to talk more and more about extratrerrestrial life. The public is whipped up in a frenzy, the governments are trying to calm everyone down and figue out what's happening, and in the far reaches of the galaxy, the Soram dictator laughs with glee while the Regenetech, Dravimosian, and Azaranian Emperors fear the Second Sol War, or even worse: the Fifth Galactic War.
 * China - We support Russia in their claim against the US.
 * Brazil: Supports America, but industrialization begins.
 * Both of you read again. "it becomes clear that neither side has the capability to have caused such a strange event."
 * Even if it's clear, it's still an excuse to exploit the other side's weaknesses and gain favour with allies. Also, as is said above, the governments are trying to calm everything down, so by blaming a rival nation it gives our people something to believe.
 * Right, I know. I said, suspects that neither side could have done this.
 * Centri Republic: Immediately dispatches the 9th Guards Fleet to Earth. Accompanying it is a hive, which is relocated to Saturn, using the hydrogen as fusion fuel to warm the colony as well as keep it afloat and power it. Another 3 fleets are prepared, as well. A satelite is bugged and cut off from the humans, they think it is merely a malfuction.
 * North Korea: The Supreme Ruler of North Korea, Kim Il Sung, tells the people of North Korea that it is nothing to fear as of now, and that they should get back to work. Meanwhile, North Korea begins the difficult tasks of farming in the northern regions of the country, away from the democratic monsters to the south. The military asks to purchase some of the USSR's or China's finests tanks.
 * Praedonii - we ask the Ahlose alliance for safe passage through their territory, in return for not attacking any of their ships. The various fleets also begin to converge towards the southern tip of the Byzantar empire, except the highest located fleets, which move toward each other.
 * Ahlose D: The Ahlose agree.
 * Terran Empire: The Terran Empire immediately goes to Earth, where they set up a small warp-drive station in orbit of Uranus. A small scouting party is sent to the Earth. A small power station also begins mining of this solar system's sun, and the Earthians notice a dramatic decrease in solar flares this year. The Terrans contemplate what to do with the Earthians- they are rather weak and seemingly incompetent at hard labor, and they are too fragile/brittle for too much work in space or in high/low gravity worlds. The real value of the planet lay in the sun, as another valuable source of energy. The other planets of the solar system also contained much valuable minerals. The Terran Emperor and High Command discuss what to do. It is decided in the end that they shall wait, and see others reactions. However, Earth is sprayed with trillions of tiny nanobots, which begin to spy on world governments.
 * Algeria: Houari Boumediene takes power in Algeria, after deposing of the former President Ahmed Ben Bella. He continues the authoritarian trend set by his predecessor, and begins a new industrial and agricultural drive. Oil is also pumped heavily. Algeria begins to sell oil at dirt cheap prices to America and Europe. The new government wishes to have peace with all the minority religious groups, making peace with both the Christians and Ibani Muslims. They also promise their people that they will not depend too much on oil, as they realize that oil is a commodity that will run out later, and that the profits it made for the nation was too varied depending on the current political situation. They begin to heavily encourage tourism, and a huge modernization attempt is carried out. They request lowered tariffs from European nations, as well as with North America.
 * The Regenetech Empire begins to mobilize the widespread Navy in case of Galactic War or Sol War. The Empire is not interested in a repeat of the Sol War from 73 million years ago and asks that the Terran retreat from the Sol System. Troops occupying the Soram Empire's capital world begin to secretely mobilize in case of war. However, the Soram do not suspect and believe that the occupying armies are still occupying and not preparing for war. The fleets from the farthest reaches of the Galaxy begin to move inwards.
 * The United States begins to research into what has happened and sends Mariner 4 to investigate. President Johnson decides to pull out of Vietnam and asks the Soviet Union if it is willing to end the Vietnam War.
 * (I completely forgot that MP was gone and that he asked me to post for him.) The Soviet Union agrees to a temporary ceasefire in Vietnam, with a Korea-like situation, as well as in Laos and Cambodia.
 * The Dravimosian Empire sides with the Regenetech Empire of the matter but still begins to mobilize the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Fleets in case of war. The Monitor Space Station is moved from Plutonian orbit to Jovian orbit to be closer to Earth. The Emperor believes that the Human species is perhaps suited for integration into the empire, but he needs to convene with the council on that matter. A sensor station is established in the orbit of Pluto.
 * Canada: Canada starts a space agency called the CSA, or the Canadian Space Agency. The President supports US desicion to end the Vietnam War. We ask cooperation to the US.
 * Ahlose: The Ahlose wish to remain at peace, but will fight for the Humans, if need be. The Ahlose send the Redeemer shuttle to Ganymede to set up an observatory and future base.
 * Centria: Offers an alliance, just in case.. (By the way, are all the 6 oldest civs allied? Cos that really isn't fair..)
 * Ahlose D: The Ahlose agree
 * No, it's four on four. Soram Terran Democrist Hanzen vs. Regenetech Dravimos Azaranian Caborr.
 * Yeah but Regentech, Dravimos Azaranan are the strongest. And do we even have Democrists this time? Besides which, the Hanzen are nothing.
 * Terran is also part of the strongest. Hanzen and Soram are also strong. Size matters not.
 * Mantelar Alliance: The 221th Scientific Group (two scientific ships, two troop transports and four frigates) is near the Oort cloud watching the strange activity. We send a little Explorer to the Ahlose (Ganymede) to ask information about the actual situation, and we also ask passage through Ahlose space and ask for a non-agression treaty and friendship.
 * Ahlose D: The Ahlose agree
 * Mechs: After years of debate, the Mechs reach consensus over Proposition 988. This proposition will re-enter the Mechs into galactic trade and widespread communication for the first time in almost 65 million years.
 * Norway: Norway builds up Millitary and builds millitary bases and fortifies the Norwegian-Soviet border. Alliance offers are sent to Denmark, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States and West Germany.
 * You're already part of NATO.
 * India: The military undergoes modernization as per the plans of the Indian government and its five year plan. It has stated that it will begin its own space program in the near future, but seeks to focus on developing the decaying infaustructure of the nation first.
 * Polaris: The fourty Polaran worldships gather outside of the galactic plane, and prepare for an assualt on the unaffiliated worlds of the southern galaxy for genetic materials and mineral resources. The armada accompanying them consist of thousands of ships, and millions of troops. Talks on establishing a base in the Tau Ceti system as a forward base for a war in the Sol System begin.
 * Centria D: Warns that any such warlike move would trigger the full mobilization of the Centrian fleet against Polaris.
 * Polaran R: We have more ships than you have hairs on your head. Your people shall feed the next generation of Polaran children, and your worlds shall fuel our armadas.
 * Centria D: ... Good luck. You touch one Centrian ship, planet, or citizen, and we'll destroy everyone of your puny worldships. For every ship you send against us, we'll send 10. You don't want to play this game, friend.
 * The Centauris a re established Regenetech.
 * Ah.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Leadership is annoyed that the war in Southeast Asia is over, as it was hurting the American cause. They are, however, pleased that they gained the allies of North Vietnam and North Laos, while Communist forces in Cambodia were defeated by the Royalist and Thai forces. A new space program, the Ascension Program, is commissioned, and it is designed to have a permanent space station and manned Lunar landing soon.
 * UK: Concerned with the possible outbreak of war, Harold Wilson pours money into the construction of large scale nuclear bunkers across the country to protect the population. The 22nd Special Air Service Regiment has a increase in funding and is put on standby.
 * Aesir: concerned about the mobilising of bordering empires, the Aesir send a scout ship to investigate the cause. it is expected to arrive in the following year and activate its gate to allow the rest of the fleet to follow

1966

 * Galactic Events: The Mechs come out of isolation and both sides request it to join their side. The Soram Fleet is withdrawn from the Sol System, but two carriers crash into Uranus on the way out. Three men in the Soviet Union start preaching that God is avenging himself upon the communists for being atheist, and it soon catches on very quickly, especially in East Germany and Poland in Europe, and North Vietnam and Laos in Asia.
 * Canada: A new spaceship prototype is build and space investigation continues. The CSA propose to the NASA a joint project to investigate the "crashes". A telescope installation is build in Newfoundland.
 * Canada doesn't have that capability yet.
 * Better?
 * Much.
 * Soviet Union: The Ascension Project begins to construct a satellite that will aid in the Space Station process. The Soviet government decides to try to expand the Soviet Union to counter American influence.
 * Dravimosian Empire: The Dravimosian Military starts to call up reserve fleets for an offensive/System exploration in an unrevealed section of Dravimosian space. Each of the seven (I think) race's counsilors are called into session by the emperor to discuss the Sol System and the Human Race.
 * No, eight. You, Regenetech, Terran, Mech, Caborr, Azaranian, Soram, Hanzen, Democrist.
 * These are the ancient races?
 * Ja.
 * Democrist? I thought we didn't have them? They're not on the map...Also, you aren't only ones in Sol...
 * They're not on the map out of respect for Taco's decision not to play them, but regardless, they're one of the eight galactic superultramegahypebonuswhupreveryoneelse-powers.
 * Ahlose D: The Ahlose (Caborr) offer to host the meeting on Ganymede
 * The Regenetech say that if we all meet up in the Sol System the Earthians will see our ships. We must meet in another system. Everyone is invited to Crizmer P'hthadun, a Regen city near the Core.
 * Ahlose D: The Ahlose accept the invitation
 * China: We offer to help fund the Soviet Ascension project. China continues to reassure its people that there is nothing to worry about and to keep going with their everyday lives. We also offer to host an international meeting that will discuss the unusual events occuring in our solar system, to try and relieve some of the tension that has built up.
 * Centria: Following the Polaran threat, the army and navy is put on High Alert, and plans begin to launch a fire sale (a three stage cyberattack that takes out any computer that broadcasts) on them. The other three fleets sent to Saturn- the 5th, 11th, and 74th- arrive. A second hive arrives on Titan. Picking up news of the Humans attempts to reach Mars, Plan 341 is considered, though it doesn't get passed by the council... yet (MOOHAHAHAH NONE OF YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS!... Because I haven't decide yet...)
 * Brazil: Plan 341a (Coincidence), an economic stimulus plan, begins.
 * UK: economic buildup begins to fund the space program and a reequest is sent to Canada and the USA to hopefully combine projects.
 * Canada D: No problem, the CSA accepts and will share all data if you do the same.
 * The US agrees.
 * Aesir: The Scoutship arrives in sol system and begins preparations for gate activation SECRETLY, but hangs on the outskirts of the system so not to alarm the gathering fleets into hostile action. Communctions are monitered and intelligence is gathered.
 * Polaris: A Polaran armada containing several world and core ships, are directed by the Science Council to enter the galaxy to push deep into Centrian space if needed. The Science Council has scoffed at the Centrian reply, and is in support of a war. However, the techocrat has ordered them to stand down for now.
 * The Regenetech Empire threatens war on the Polarans if they attack the Centrians.
 * The Polarans threaten to invade the Regenetech Empire if they do not allow the Polaran people to handle their own affairs. Many more mightier races have fallen before your's. No one wants a war,b ut your people aren't helping make the situtation any better.
 * Bah. The Empire scoffs at your threats and puny worldships, which are smaller than half the size of Imperial Death Stars.
 * We can fit planets inside of ours, and we know of no death stars. But, when we come to consume, we shall keep you in mind.
 * Our are bigger than planets. (Death Star? Star Wars? Ring a bell? That, 2X times bigger than Jupiter.)
 * I know what your talking about, but the Death Star was canonically explained to be the size of a small moon. My worldships are designed to safely house billions of people. Safely. Frome Wikipedia: "The first Death Star was 160 kilometers in diameter, while the second Death Star was 900 kilometers in diameter." Jupiter is 71,492 kilometers in diameter.
 * India: The Indian government has spread word that the event is totally harmless, and that the people should return to their home and continue working. The military has voiced its concern, and seeks to look into the issue once its budget has been increased. Plans to focus the Indian space program into finding out what happened to the rover is underway, but there are many skeptics in the government who think it was a trick.
 * The United States asks all the UN members to meet at the UN headquarters to discuss the increasing number of recent events in space. President Lyndon B. Johnson has decided to push the Apollo program faster, to reach the moon, where strange signals are coming from. (Hint, hint, 1996, OTL movie) Meanwhile Mariner 5 and Mariner 6 reach Mars and find strange technological objects scaterred about the Red Planet. The counterculture movement now protest extraterrestrial life existing, as do many extremist religious groups, particularly the Catholics.
 * China: We offer to support the meeting.
 * UK: As a member of the securit council, the UK would like to put to the vote the formation of a idependent taskforce with troops provided by the council members to act as a 1st contact team incase the extraterrestials prove hostile. We would also like to announce the CoE is fine with Alien existance.
 * France will attend the meeting.
 * Canada: We will go.
 * Global Event: The Pope denounces extraterrestrial life and calls anyone who believes in it a heretic.
 * Most modern Popes weren't much for calling people heretics.
 * Well, they didn't admit to the heliocentric system until 1992, so I think he'd do it. And the Vatican is kind of insane, so I think it can happen. Besides, it's not like he can enforce it anyway.
 * Praedonii: In the event of war, we offer to provide military backing to any nation that pays large amounts of money, and perhaps some information about the cause of this sudden build up of military resources. The fleet CONTINUES to converge while simultaneously preparing for a war, in which it may be forced to take sides to avoid obliteration. Currently, we do not favour a side, although we can be easily persuaded to help out one group should that group have a reasonable amount of expendable money (and protection from its enemies). Also, we continue to develop our technology.
 * The Regenetech Empire offers 65 zesmantronx worth in gold and silver (Basically 650 billion OTL US dollars. And no, that won't bankrupt me.) for continued aid from teh Praedonii in case of war.
