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 algorithm for wars on planets (land and sea). There will be no algorithm 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, capice? 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 rebelled 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 Strength, 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 relatively 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 millennia. 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 that climate is a mix between the arboreal plains and arboreal forests of Canada. They are also herbivorous, and their diet is mainly made up of the fruits that look like Earth's pine cones 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 pine cone like fruits are high in calories and carbs and are used as an energy food. The national 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 pine cone 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. Unfortunately, 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. Having strip-mined their homeworld millions of years ago, the Polarans inhabit worldships surrounded by massive fleets. As a synthetic race, they have effectively wiped out sickness and too a certain degree death as well, but this resulted in their weak genetic diversity. They travel the the galaxy strip-mining worlds to fuel and feed their armadas, and seek to strip-mine Earth as well. Since they have no permanent home, they largely live outside the bounds of the galactic plane, and return to the galaxy proper every so often to collect resources from the rich worlds within.
 * Strengths: <Hyperdrive Engine> <Antimatter, Dark Matter & Energy Manipulation>
 * 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 independently engineer an energy-based FTL drive, Much of the Azaranians' Technology is based upon the manipulation 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 consciously manipulate the pure energy around them for their own purposes. Although each Member of the Race possess this ability, the proficiency of an individual to use it ranges from none to able to manipulate time itself (only prevalent 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 Government. 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 ability 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 abilites to regenerate each cell in their body, giving them a new body per se but the same mind, if it is successful, the amount of "radiance energy" in the body makes it nearly impossible for somebody to kill an Azhiranthia that has gone through 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 fatally wounded or are on their deathbeds, if resulting in failure, the amount of stress put on the body's systems (especially the nervous system) cripples them, and in severe cases causes Death, the Azaranian equivalents to MS, late stage Alzheimer'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 separate his consciousness 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 abilites to regenerate their bodies and transfer consciousness 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 Government><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.
 * That's just stupid. But I'll 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 satellite 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 secretly 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 Military and builds military 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
 * No there are not eight. These councilors are only the races in the Empire.
 * Dravimosian Diplomacy: Accepted.
 * Oh I see. Regardless, delegates from the eight nations are invited to Crizmer P'hthadun. Attn interspecial confederations: sends delegates to represent all member species of your nation. (At this rate we'll have something like 127 err..."sentient things" at the meeting.
 * 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...)
 * Polaran D: The Supreme Technocrat apoligizes for the hostile statements made by the Science Council. Our people seek a non-agression pact with your own for future prosperity of both.
 * You can't go to Saturn. It's made of gas.
 * Floating, enclosed city. It isn't actually ON saturn, just close enough to use the hydrogen for energy.
 * 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.
 * Ours are larger in diameter than planets. (Death Star? Star Wars? Ring a bell? That, 2X times bigger than Jupiter.)
 * Centria: Refuses the Non Aggression pact, stating that they don't want to take sides. However, agrees to peace. If the 'Science council' persists, however, the Sapienti will launch a fire sale, cutting off all communication, and every computer that broad casts (its called a fire sale, because EVERYTHING must go). Then, the 6th, 19th, 101st, 33rd, and 92nd fleets to hunt down and destroy every one of your damn world ships, using Sigma Field ALPHAs (the weakest form, but then Foxtrot, the strongest, could potentially take out a galaxy... though anything above Delta is completely uncontrollable, and Charlie is enough to only destroy a system). We hope fervently this will not be nessacary.
 * Polaris: Your fleets are too small to be of any threat to our people, but please, send all of your ships to the edge of the galactic plane, and fight us on our terms. Then we will go to your planets, and devour them. Have a nice day.
 * Please, stop acting like you have the largest fleets in the world. I ask it that you consider it that there are much more powerful, stronger, and mroe challenging nations than yours.
 * The proper term is galaxy, and I never said I did. And where did I ever say I had more than everyone one else? You forget, the Polaran race is space-borne. If they don't have fleets, then they leave themselves open to attack. So ship for ship, I do have more that the Centrian Republic. In regards to the mod nations, then I don't have more ships.
 * Oh yes, I meant galaxy. Sorry about that. What I mean is you cannot boast that you have more ships than the Centri Republic, or anyone for that matter, when you have no idea of their number. The Republic also has a large are of territory to defend, so I'm pretty sure they have a bucket load of ships.
 * We do =D, but even then, ahem, FIRE SALE. All your communications are knocked out. We have a whole segement of our population (Sapienti), and a large one, working together in perfect harmony (telepathy). Every computer of yours that broadcasts will be ours. In any case, why do you think that our fleets are small? Seeing as I've already revealed we have at least 101, and obviously have many, many more? A fleet being roughly 100-200 ships of the line?
 * I never said your were small. All I said is that you don't have enough ships though. I may be wrong, and if your I mod, I bow in respect. And the Polarans don't use computers in the sense typically used. Think vacuum tubes and lots of fleshy parts. Bio-organic technology rules the day in Polaris. And the Polarans are synthenic lifeforms. They are more machine than anything esle, and their minds aren't the same as puny organic ones. Synthetics! Like machines and organics, without the machines or organics! :D
 * Hehe. Doesn't matter. If it broadcasts- as it pretty much has to to function- it's ours. I'm not a mod, but Scraw is.
 * Right. But wouldn't that be like taking over a thinking fruit? You know, the ones that also have immune systems for that?
 * 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.
 * Brazil: Will go.
 * Centria: Secretly hacks into the Mariner 6 probe and shuts off communications to Earth. Also, an American military satellite is hacked, to find out what the capabilities of their race are. It is found that the have large amounts of Thermo nuclear weaponry, and it is decided not to send a ship into their atmosphere, as they might panick and launch their weapons. This might cause a few dents in the ship.
 * 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 65 000 000 000 Regen credits worth in gold and silver (Basically 65 billion OTL US dollars. And no, that won't bankrupt me.) for continued aid from the Praedonii in case of war.
 * The Praedonii accept. We now begin to mobilise our army. We also wonder if the Regenetech empire would be able to provide some information on who and why we are fighting, as this is becoming a little complicated for our puny Praedonii minds.
 * It is mostly because the Galaxy has always been split in two sides since the Fall of the Aslar Empire (Phantom Empire, MP, is the right word?): The Conquerors and The Defenders. Now that the Soram Empire has renewed interest into the Sol System and hostilities have been renewed.
 * We get it now. Mostly, we only care about the money, but we don't want to end up fighting against our own side.
 * Norway: Norway increases military, infrastructure, economy, technology and social issues. A project for a space agency comes into gov't mind.
 * Mantelar Alliance: The Mantelar 231 Exploration Group launch a fast operation a recovers all remains from the Soram ships in Deimos and Mars, Mariner 5 is also captured (very carefuly, the humans have no prove aliens take the probe) by the group and disconnect, to further study. The Group returns to the Oort cloud and send most of the remains and Mariner 5 in different ships to the Mantelar Alliance territory. The Scientific Group ask an non-agression pact to the Polaris.
 * Polaran D: The Polaran people seek an alliance with the Mantelar race, and are happy to accept.
 * Mantelar D: We only ask for a non-aggression pact, but if you want an alliance we have conditions, 1. Never attack us, and we never will. 2. Stop extinguishing intelligent species. If you want to mine a planet, we want to buy at least 100,000 of its inhabitants, we will take care of them.
 * Polaran D: Those terms are acceptable.
 * Mechs: As Mech trading ships continue to flood out of Mech territory, Installation 6 is relocated to the fringes of Mech space, outside of the blockade area. It is open to visitors and will, in time, become a galactic trade hub. The massive planet-sized space station is scheduled to take a tour of the galaxy in the coming years. In the meantime, more of the military is reactivated.
 * Terran Empire: The Terran Empire sends several scout ships to Earth, and soon warp station is released in orbit over Earth. It has high levels of stealth, and is able to take down other satellites. The military is put on a slightly higher threat level, but not by much. They mostly stay in the shadows, not seeking direct confrontations.
 * Algeria: Algeria continues to improve their economy, and the efficiency of Algerian workers begin to rise under a strict government regime. They export a lot of oil, but work is also put into other sectors of income, mostly tourism as the next big one. They also demand an explanation from the US or the USSR about the mysterious crash in Mars, although the government does not have much interest.

1966.5
'''Mod Event: An unknown spacecraft is seen escorting a large cannon-style weapon towards Earth. The weapon fires two unidentified projectiles towards Earth.'''

'''Mod Event: A large meteor crashes into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, creating a tidal wave that impacts the Eastern Americas and Western Europe and Africa. Another large meteor crashes in the middle of the Indian Ocean, the resulting tsunami impacting Eastern Africa, India, Indonesia, and Western Australia.'''
 * Canada: The space research is continued, the CSA share all data with the NASA and UK, our telescope is working, two research stations are projected to the next year. The Government start to make reparations in the affected areas (by the waves). We ask the NATO to create the North Atlantic Space Agency or something like that to coordinate space investigation and defense. The RCAF budget is increased.
 * India: The government declares a national state of emergency after the displacing of several thousands of people as the tides engulfe southern India. The military is mobilized, and intelligence indicates that something about the astroid was off, as it followed no natural trajectory. Additionally, it flew in an almost straight direction, further adding to the mysterious impact. Regardless, the news is kept secret, and only top-level allies and politicians are given the information.
 * Eh? What tsunamis?
 * What do you mean, what tsunamis?
 * Read the mod event, .-.
 * My bad.
 * Hey wait a minute, who's making these events? This is a job best left to the Chancellor! (jk)
 * Guilty. I just got bored and the game was going slow.
 * Brazil: As part of the tsunami hit Brazil, the army is mobilized. they evacuate people from the flooded areas and prevent looting. Brazil's astronomers, meanwhile, note that the asteroid could not have been natural, as it was far, far hotter than normal, and appeared to be made out of... energy.
 * You don't know that it was aliens yet
 * Praedonii: The research ship Mirage, stationed in a fleet nearby the weapon detonation (see map), detects a large concentration of energy in what we believe to be an uninhabited system. Also, we begin mobilizing for war: we begin construction of over one thousand new fighters, as well as a new warship, the Silverblade, the name commenting on the refined armour and weapons technology.
 * I told you last turn.
 * Knew that.
 * Centria: With the burst of Energy, it is realized that war is going to occur. Massive mobilizations of one half of the full fleet- nearly 5000 ships of the line- as well as 13 hives are moved to Earth. Due to the Polaran threats, the remainder stay, but all ships are put on high alert and ordered to discharge Sigma ALPHAs at anything that moves. In addition, for the second time in history, all of the Soldier class merige their minds telepathically, working as one great unit.
 * Polaris: The Polaran harvester fleet Tau-773a (two worldships, seven coreworlds, thirty-seven battleships, several tens of thousands of other warships), is sent ahead of the main armada to find the Centrian homeworld. Behind the fleet are countless more ships of all sizes preparing for an invasion. The Science Council sends an ultimatum; If the Centrians continue to mobilize with the intent of attacking the Polaran people, then Polaris will launch a full-scale invasion of their space. Polaran soldiers are created specifically for fighting the Centrians in the possible upcoming war.
 * Centria: A fire sale is launched, cutting off communication between ships. Then, the 5000 ships of the line hunt down and destroy each of the ships who attacked us, using Sigma ALPHAs, Proton Torpedoes, Antimatter Spheres, Heavy lasers, EMPS, etc. The Tau-773a fleet is thus completely wiped out, as they only have 37 battle ships... whereas as stated above we have around 5000 ships of the line waiting. And the Mobilization is not intended to attack the Polarans, but now, you have started war.
 * As a non mod and non canon race, you have to scale your numbers down a bit. I'll not tell you this again. And everyone is mobilizing, so I think it should be made clear that the Centri (and everyone else) are mobilizing to defend their nation, while you are preparing for an agressive campaign.
 * Your really not making sense. I think it would be best from me to leave the game before something bad happens. Don't want any drama.
 * What do you mean I'm not making any sense? You're not even 25 million years old and yet you have super advanced technology and masses of ships. Really?
 * So being 20 million years old isn't good enough either? I didn't know building warships took hundreds of thousands of years. Regardless, I'm not going to get into a fight about it. That's why I need to leave. Enjoy your game.
 * Good bye Viva. I'm sorry you leave.
 * It's your ridiculously high numbers. Regardless, if you're leaving, farewell. I'm not going to attempt to stop you. And building those worldships definitely would take a while.
 * Dravimosian Empire: With war being apparent, the entire Xeraji species is mobilized, and many auxiliary units are also put into action. A small fleet of ships is sent to the Sol System to evaluate if the Human race is worthy of continued existence and possible admission to the Empire, which is largely ceremonial due to the ethics of the council and empire What race are the blue dots around the map again?
 * Praedonii.
 * Centria D: Argues that while NO race deserves extinction, thses humans are too warlike to be advanced into our culture. Instead, I suggest we follow the Mantelar plan, unifying them against a threat.
 * Soviet Union: The KGB arrest the triumvirate of religious fanatics spreading a false religion throughout the world. They are shot to death in a small warehouse in Minsk, and other supporters are picked up and deported to Siberia.
 * Mantelar Alliance: The 221th Scientific Group made another fast move and picked up all the Soram remains in Venus, the remains are send to the Alliance and the Mantelar ships in the system made a base in Sedna. Sedna is declarated Mantelar Territory, and the Mantelar ships start mining and building defenses and more. The Elite (government) sent a Elite Lord. The Sol Administratum decides that if the humans feel threat from space, posibilities of a Nuclear War are reduced, so we are going to make them feel in danger, in order to pacify the planet.
 * Centria D: Agrees that this plan is for the best, especially since human weaponry cannot destroy the more advanced ships of the various species gathered at Sol. Offers Centrian help.
 * Mantelar Alliance: Accept the help.
 * Centria Response: Sends 10 ships of the line to close orbit of Mars. From there, proton torpedoes head towards Earth (advanced tracking System) and hit low population targets. Also offers an alliance to the Mantelar.
 * Mantelar Alliance D: We accept the alliance, we also want to share our base in Sedna with you to coordinate efforts. My six frigates fire six small warheads from Deimos against low population targets in both, America and Eurasia.
 * Centria D: Thanks the alliance and offers our own bases, on Saturn and Titan.
 * Mantelar Alliance D: Okay, the Administratum Officer in charge of this System, one scientific ship and one frigate will move to Titan.
 * Terran Empire: The Terrans still stay out of Earth; however, they send out more scout ships and spy on the humans.
 * Algeria: The Algerian government continues exports and expanding the economy, as well as their military. They dismiss the so called aliens as secret weapons tests by the "apostate West".
 * China: Send rescue teams to affected nations, India, Indonesia and northern parts of Africa. We also secretly accelerate our satellite program (launched in 1970 in OTL), with plans to launch it in late 1968. We blame the various incoming objects on a natural phenomenon.
 * Denmark: As one of the most hard-hit countries by the tsunami, many people question if the governments of the world are hiding something. Denmark proposes the ESA (European Space Agency), taking an example from Canada, and asks European nations to work together on it. Denmark is too busy rescuing their own people, so they do not send rescue teams to the Netherlands, although they apologize to them.

1967

 * Terran Empire: The Terran Empire continue to get energy from the sun, as well as warp in a few scout vehicles. However, one scout ship malfunctions while in the atmosphere and crash lands in a desert on a continent known as "Africa". They are immediately taken by the government there, as they were knocked unconscious. After much discussion, Terran High Command send to the surviving alien's microchips the English language, essentially allowing them to suddenly be able to know the language. However, this backfires as the Terran survivors of the crash, who had been taught that the Earthlings were like mere animals, are shocked as they realize they are very complex and have a great culture. One of them, who has the knowledge of the "kill switch" on their microchips, disables them using a fail safe device. The 11 survivors then begin a mission to bring the human race to an era of peace.
 * Algeria:
 * January: A strange alien craft that looks like a "needle ship" crashes into the Sahara, making a massive impact crater and a shock wave that rivals a nuclear explosion. Most of the crew of the alien craft were killed by the impact, but a few were taken alive. A sampling of the air in the craft showed the team what air they needed, and create an air-tight room for the alien. The air is constantly refreshed. They cannot communicate with the aliens, and have no idea exactly what they eat, if they eat at all. They are presented with a selection of food and drink and are asked to pick one. It would seem the aliens eat plant based foods only.
 * February: The Algerian government begin panicking as it looks as though the aliens will die of starvation. However, on the 12th, the aliens suddenly begin to speak Arabic, and explain that their leaders had "sent" the languages of the Earth to their microchips. They also explain what foods they require, as well as other nourishment. Those are immediately brought to them, and they hungrily eat. The aliens then tell the Algerian government that since they seemed to be stranded, they would be happy to help with their nation. The Algerian government immediately requests weapons designs- however, those are respectfully refused. Instead, the aliens get plans for a cold fusion nuclear reactor, and explain that those power most of their ships. They also leave plans for the "mining of the sun" behind for future generations to explore.
 * March: Construction of a cold fusion reactor begins, and it is explained to the public as a "alternate energy research project". The public are outraged, as they believe it to be a waste of money and time as Algeria has enough oil. The government goes ahead with the project, and it is expected to be finished in September. The aliens also give the government a formula involving minerals not found on earth which would make a much more permanent type of concrete- they give them a few samples of the minerals for the Algerians to replicate.
 * April: The aliens give out more plans for more system, most of them long-term. They give the Algerians a highly advanced radar taken from their, which would detect even all but the most heavily cloaked alien ships, such as theirs. The Algerians immediately pair it up with their SAM defense network. They study the radar; however, replication is still expected to be months, if not years away.
 * May: The cold fusion reactor is halfway complete, although the public is still protesting, a leak has leaked that it is actually a "cold fusion reactor", which still leads to outrage as that Algeria has plenty of oil. Many scientists come knocking at the Algerian government to tell them and elaborate, but they are declined and sent home. The presence of the aliens is also kept a secret, as they believe the highly Islamic population would not take kindly to acknowledgement of extraterrestrial life. Also, the new radars from the spaceships detect several alien ships in the area- the Terran technicians successfully recognize them as Mech scout ships.
 * June: The Algerian government, with the help of the two aliens, begin to develop a domestic house robot to help with menial tasks. It is, however, months away from the first working prototype and years from actually mass producing them. The cold fusion reactor construction is quicker than expected, and the due date is adjusted to August. This reactor will be enough to power over 3/4 of the nation, and will produce only water vapor as waste. As their economy improves at an exponential rate, they begin to upgrade their military and infrastructure. Several high-rise buildings are planned in Algiers, and the navy is also improved. With the help of the aliens, a successful ABM system is in the process of being planned, and the SAM system is also greatly improved. Another project in progress is the launch of a solar energy satellite, which would beam down energy every day. The people begin to notice what is happening, as the quality of their life improves. However, they do not complain, as they are simply glad that it is happening.
 * The Regenetech Empire kindly asks the Terran Empire to be a bit more careful next time above Earth. It also decides that it will make an Earth landing next year due to the Algerians becoming superpowers all of a sudden. The Empire asks the Mantelar and Centri to join the Regenetech Empire in the Earth landing.
 * Mantelar Alliance: We accept. The Elite Lord in the System, Horen Breete will join to the landing.
 * The United States offers to collaborate with the Algerians with the newly found "aliens." It also asks the government to keep the news secret. Meanwhile the first man steps foot on the Moon. He is Neil Armstrong and he says "That's a small step for one man, but a giant leap for all of mankind." His words become iconic and a symbol of the great achievement. NASA has three more moon landings planned for the Artemis project before it kicks off its Ares project. It also agrees to work with the CSA. President Kennedy is shot in Chicago, Illinois and Lyndon B. Johnson becomes the new president. (Let's pretend he didn't get killed in 63, OK? Thanks.) He vows to send man into the far reaches of space in honor of Kennedy's ambitions.
 * Algeria: The Algerian government vehemently denies the existence of such aliens, and tells the US to not stick their nose where it doesn't belong.
 * Canada: We have to do something about Algeria, is now a serious threat, the lie to us, while developing highly advanced technologies as cold fusion, maybe is just a bluff of his government, but perhaps we are dealing with something much more dangerous.
 * The US satellites or something would have seen it anyways. The ship in itself can be described as an alien, being otherworldly.
 * A Praedonii Segment finally arrives in the vicinity of the Sol system, with a second Segment nearby and moving quickly. Naturally, we support the Regenetech's attempt at removing the Mantelar and the Centri from the system. We begin arming our weaponry. We also (secretly, of course) begin preparing a scout team to travel down to the surface of Earth. We are working on a series of Shifts that mirror the humans' physiology so that we can go down to the surface of the planet without seeming out of place. This way, we can collect huge quantities of data on the Earthlings.
 * Canada: The CSA is in total disposition to the NASA. We continue space research and the RCAF budjet is increased, again. We want to share a moon landing with UK and US. We also want NATO to investigate Algeria.
 * Algeria vehemently opposes any NATO intervention in Algeria, and any such action will result in grave consequences.
 * Canada: Investigation, not intervention, unless you provoke us, we are not enemies.
 * Intervention, investigation, they are all the same to us. Algeria is not a part of NATO and NATO has no jurisdiction over Algeria, and has no power to invade our sovereignty.
 * You realize we could just send some spies pretending to be tourists?
 * Mechs: A beacon from a relic from the Mech Revolt is traced to Earth. A fleet of scout ships are sent to the area. The beacon is pinpointed and discovered on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Ships land to survey the area. Meanwhile, Installation 6 is moved to a more accessible point in the galaxy for further trading with other races.
 * Mantelar Alliance: The Elite Lord arrives to the System (Titan), with the Second Battle and Command Group (6 battleships, 4 destroyers, 6 frigates and 1 Capital Ship). The Watch Unit is alarmed by the Algerian new tech and go back to Titan where the Elite Lord decides to land alongside the Regenetech.
 * Ahlose: The Ahlose are concerned of affairs on Earth. Since several races are planning to go, the Ahlose seeks to meet with the leaders of the factions on Earth (US and USSR), as ambassadors for all alien nations in the alliance (the Ahlose alliance). We seek imput from the nations planning to go. The meeting will be as discrete as possible, hopefully not arousing any attention.
 * We're not going to Algeria. We're going to the UN headquarters, Washington, and Moscow.
 * Oh, well count me in.
 * Denmark: Denmark tells the USA that they have no right to investigate a neutral nation like Algeria. Meanwhile, other European nations do not respond to the ESA proposal, so Denmark begins construction on their own. They plan to launch a sattelite in a year. (Tell me if any of this is implausable) Construction of a "Mission Control" begins in Copenhagen, and a launch station begins construction in an unidentified location in southern Denmark. Denmark plans to attend the UN meeting.
 * Canada Diplomacy: (I'm not sure if it is plausable) The Canadian Space Agency want to join efforts, we can help you, our program is older and more developed, but you have to know that Algeria can be a danger to peace.
 * Denmark Diplomacy: Denmark heartily agrees, and several Danish scientists emigrate to Canada, although they are still going to construct their facilities as the European Launch Complex. We ask you to rename the CSA, because we are helping too, though if you don't, we'll still be okay. We think that Algeria should remain unprovoked, unless they do something decisive.
 * Oh yes, the United States said it. And when did Canada become the United States? Anywho, most of your post is plausible. And NASA and the CSA and the DSA are now one, the North Atlantic Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NAASA.
 * MOST of my post!? Thanks! My posts are never plausable, Scraw, you of all people should know that.
 * Yeah I know. Kind of why I was a bit surprised.

 * Galactic Stuffs: The UN members meet at the HQ in New York. Galactic tensions continue to rise.
 * The Regenetech Empire teleports the Emperor, several important politicians from around the Galaxy who were willing to cooperate, and bucketload of HADMs (Heavily Armed Defense Machines) into the UN meeting. UN security attempts to shoot, but the human technology is no match for superior otherworldly technology. The ambassadors inform the humans that Algeria has been housing aliens and has secretly been using alien technology, explaining the recent increase in Algerian welfare. The UN Ambassador from Tunisia (was it a member in 67) breaks out into a fight with the Algerian one and several other nations are shocked at this. The nonhuman diplomats urge the humans to cooperate with one another to ensure global survival and also tells the communist nations that they better reform ASAP before their nations collapse. Particularly the Soviets and Poles. Meanwhile a seperate delegacy is sent to Washington DC to meet the President. It contains the Pince Imperial and King of Regnia Vlasvar and another is sent to Moscow to meet Kruschev. It contains the Prince Imperial's younger brother Bresklavarlk, King of Zahntimic. Above all, governments are ordered to remain silent about the recent news. Also, the two superpowers are offered technology of the galaxy to aid them in exploration of their own system. Behold! What light (read: news) through yonder window (paragraph) breaks!
 * Terran Empire:
 * July: The Terran Empire quickly announce support for Algeria, and begin a series of negotiations with the Algerian government. They land several dozen ships in Algeria, and begin to set up base camps in Algeria. A warpgate is also set up, and soldiers are warped in. Point defense drones are also set up all along the Algerian border, as well as land mines.
 * August: The Terran Empire lands dozens more ships in Algeria, and begin to construct an air defense system all over Algeria. The SAMs are mothballed, and a new laser ABM system is set up, as well as a Terran missile defense system.
 * September: At the request of the Algerian government, the Terran Empire sets up an ICBM system in Algeria, armed with thermonuclear weapons with the biggest being 300 MT. However, the rest are much smaller, with most being 5-20 MT. The 300 is simply a deterrence weapon. Robot drones are also deployed, numbering the thousands to patrol the borders. It is mostly redundant with the point defense drones and the land mines, but it is an extra caution. The Terran factories also begin to produce advanced fighters and bombers fitted for humans. They respond to thoughts, and require no handles or sticks. They begin training select few pilots for those new planes.
 * Algeria:
 * July: Algeria, enraged at what is happening in the UN, promptly withdraw from what they call a "powerless and unjust organization". They also hear of the aliens arriving at the UN and request that the Terran survivors draw up weapons plans for Algeria. The survivors agree, as they see the threat of what is happening. The new Terrans who have arrived also begin to help upgrading the entire Algerian military. With the help of new aliens, the cold fusion reactor is finished very quickly. The Algerian government also announces the presence of "friendly beings of Allah" from "the unknown" who have been helping them all along. Surprisingly, this does not generate riots and protests, as thought, but rather signs of support for Algeria and against the UN. Algeria tells the UN,
 * We've been hoping that this could be a peaceful journey for us, but we were sadly mistaken. Of course the greedy western capitalists would come and try to take all that is ours away from us. We have not been building weapons- rather, we have improved the lifestyle of our citizens. We have not been plotting a war- rather, we have been hoping for peace. We have not been mobilizing our army- in fact, they were on one of the lowest threat levels we have had in history. And yet, you would come and take all that is ours away from us. Therefore, from this day on, the nation of Algeria will cut off all ties with any nation that does not join us. We are now self sustaining, and we do not need your money. If any attempt comes to intervene against us, they will see the fury of Allah.


 * Eh? What did the other nations of the world do to you? We're here to promote peace and you're trying to make Algeria destroy the world?
 * Threatening to go in and spy on us, intervene, getting into a fight with one of our diplomats... etc.
 * The little spying bit was OOC. And then that was only some Tunisian dude. A: Tunisia is to the east of you. B: They're not in NATO or the WP. C: Your human military could have invaded that would the rest of the world not get involved. And D: I can safely escort the Terrans and civilians out, seal Algeria in, and then destrory the nation.
 * Oh. Well, this makes this a lot more interesting :D
 * August: The Algerian military is mobilized and placed on high-alert. Factories set up by the aliens begin to produce weapons and combat suits, which are, unfortunately few in number. They are reserved for the spec ops group. A full quarantine is placed on Algeria, with no traffic going in or out. All tourists and visitors are forcibly ejected from the nation. Anyone who wishes to leave are free to go- however, they may not come back. All businesses from outside Algeria are bought out by the Algerian government, which is now obscenely wealthy due to the Terran advances.
 * September: The military continues to gear up for war, and the military/infrastructure is slowly upgraded to Terran levels. The military is, however, still poorly trained compared to American or European standards, and a new training regime is put into place. A recruitment drive is also put out- thousands of men sign up, willing to "defend their homeland" against the "Western capitalist pigs". ICBMs are also set up in Algeria in secret underground silos. However, they don't bother to keep it a secret, as they want the world to know they can destroy them. Several more cold fusion reactors are planned to power all the new buildings and factories.
 * September: The Algerian military, now fully geared up for war, quickly invade Tunisia. They teach the Tunisian military and government a lesson, and then quickly pull back out. While under the guise of "retaliation for actions in the UN", it was actually more of a test of their new military capabilities.
 * The Galactic Alliance condemns the Algerians and the Terrans for supporting them. Has neither nation heard of peace?
 * Denmark Diplomacy: We would like to point out that even though we are capitalist and a member of NATO and the UN, we defended Algeria's rights to not being spied upon. We are not however, going to secede from the UN, which would probably mean leaving the NAASA, which is one of the greatest things that has happened to this European backwater for many years. Just food for thought Algeria.
