Battle for Earth (Map Game)

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

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

Rules

 * You may have one alien species and one nation.
 * Each race has two perks (one general and one unique) and two weaknesses.
 * Choose one perk from the perk list. Make the other one up (within reason).
 * No superweapons until the mods decide on a set date.
 * When we do allow superweapons, don't destroy the Earth please.
 * No implausibility (Yeah, it's an ASB game, but use some sense in expansion)
 * There will be THREE maps. One is of Earth and will be updated every five turns. The other is of the local cluster. It will update every five turns as well. Finally, we will have a galaxy map. It will update every TWENTY turns (space is big, people).
 * Don't try to uplift humans too quickly.
 * Spaceflight (for most races) will take a turn if your homeworld is in the local cluster. After that, an additional turn per 10,000 lightyears will be tacked on to travel time.
 * The moon isn't a giant space station. That being said, ancient artifacts left on Earth ARE allowed, but recovering them may require an invasion.
 * Each turn is three months.

1965.5

 * USA: Upon reviewing evidence of a crashed unidentified object on Mars, the United States goes into action, investigating the crash. Records are kept top secret for now, seeing as how it may spark a conflict or panic. The general theory among those who know of this believe this to be Soviet. Late into the quarter, the USSR is asked about the craft.
 * USSR: The USSR has no idea what the craft is, but proposes a joint space mission to discover its identity.
 * Mechs: Probes gathering information return to the Installation Flotilla in Deep Space. Life forms and extensive civilizations on a galactic scale are discovered. The Mech Soldiers are prepped for re-activation as many more are created by the workers.
 * Just curious, are the Mechs based on the reapers/geth of mass effect, because they are similar in many ways.
 * A little bit, but not by much.
 * USSR: The USSR begins a massive buildup of its space program, intent on discovering the object. All Soviet telescopes are pointed at the sky, watchful of any other strange objects. The military is ordered to keep the secret from becoming public knowledge.
 * DX Empire: Despite recovering from the large endemic, the empire has yet to expand back to its former glory. The space fleet begins to attack many deserted colonies now used by Pirates. Many of the pirates are biologically assimilated by the Xeraji.
 * France: France contacts it's ally the United States and requests an NATO summit be held to discuss the mysterious ship. France also requests that all information obtained about the ship be shared with other NATO members.
 * Caborr: The Caborr ships pass Earth, rushing to rescue survivors of the crashed ship. They attempt open communication with the governments of the strongest nations, The United States and the Soviet Union.
 * To the United States and the Soviet Union - We come in peace, we are attempting to rescue survivors of a crashed research vessel on the fourth planet from your sun. We mean you no harm, and wish to communicate more when we return.
 * South Korea: The South Korean government agrees with the NATO summit to discuss the mysterious ship. They also keep the secret from being released to the public.
 * Terran Empire: A probe from the Terran Empire, which had been orbiting planet KU-292-I2 since 3,200 BC, begins sending information to the Terran homeland about Caboor and DX ships within range of Earth. It continues passive observance, as it had been for the last several thousand years. The Terran Empire becomes worried about contact with planet KU-292-I2, since they fear this could lead to galactic war.
 * Salaamberia: Rumors of a ship crashing in a remote part of the Milky Way Galaxy surface on the planet Ozna-Quetar-PL0. it is widley assumed that the vessel was a ship of the Caborrean starfleet,due to a deep space probe passing by the planet, and picking up footage of the ship ipcking up surviviors. The probe itself was initially launched to test the imroved hyperdrive system, which is sucessful, and bossts the probe to the Ozna system. on route past the solar system, the probe drops a singular surface probe onto Ozna-Terra-PL0. It lands in a semi-Arid environment. the atmosphere is composed mainly of Nitrogen and Oxygen, and there are several varieties of plants and animals. the atmosphere is very similar to the Alaamberian atmosphere, and pictures indicate larege quatities of, what is belived to be water. In orbit, there are several devices which are unidentifiable, one of which, was actually rumored to be some person conducting a spacewalk, However, this is uncertian, because scientists belive that creatures on this planet must appear to be different than Puchaatans (Puchaat is the planet that Salaamberia is located on, as the whole planet is not unified). Smilarly unidentifiable was a primitive spacecraft with unknown markings. scientists are ordered to be sent there at once, as soon as ships are fitted with hyperdrive. the probe found signs of intelligent life, as it was discovered and then shut off by natives. it is unsure that contact with te natives is wise, and are uneasy about the Caborreans contacting them.
 * Australia: an unknown object is found in the australian outback. upon taking it and dismantling it, it was found to be unlike anything ever seen before. it is hidden from the public, on the grounds that it may stirr controversy.
 * Azaranians: The Azaranians, seeing disturbance in the milky way, decide to use the ancient technology once left behind by their ancestors. Luckily, a PtP warp system was left on mars, witch constituted the MArtian Pyramids, has enough power to transport a crew to analyze the ship that has fallen. Azaranian monetoring systems are picking up suspicious behavior in planet Sol-4(mars), that might disturb the peace in that region, and decide to send a crew to investigate via the martian pyramids, and even if this gets out of hand, the possibility of once again returning to earth. The PtP drives on mars however, are nearly depleted, and will take some time to repair by the crew. Meanwhile, a new way of terraforming is concieved, making it possible to control the gravitational fields and generate new atmospheres. From Earth, the Warp event was seen as a momentary streak of light bursting from the red planet.
 * South Africa: The South Africans begin to build an Apollo-esque spaceship to land humans on Mars to investigate the crash. The South Africans request that the USA help build an Apollo rocket. South Africa also offers to buy Apollo rockets from the United States. The South Africans also begin to build the preperations for a launch pad near the Cape of Good Hope. The South African mines are expanded.
 * Argentina, ruled by this time by Arturo Illia, the weak leadership of the new government makes the more conservative and pro-imperialist sector of the population angry. The peronism is allowed as well, and the peronist citzens ask more representation in the government. They get a triumph in the legislative elctions.
 * The Braq Confederacy, ruled by the President Alqa Naggal, who is borther of the Prince Merchant Ogo Naggal, is trying to improve its economy after the last elections, that were expensive avoiding fights betwenn the parties. But the peace seems to be restored, and the Prince Merchant is looking for potential allies in trade, exploring the deep space. The braqian army, lead by the Supreme Sealord Ozhen Agaqa, also looks for potential new colonies to settle in.
 * Regenetechs: They discover that a ship crashed into the fourth Sol Planet.
 * Read the posts before to see what happened before you post. That was a Caborr ship. Read the posts by Caborr and Salaamberia.
 * Oh. Thanks.
 * Canada: Canada is intrigued by recent developments. It asks the US share news about the Mars problem and offers to launch a joint mission.
 * France and South Korea have already asked for an NATO summit. 
 * Can the same not be asked by Canada?
 * Just saying. Come join the club friend!
 * Israel: Israeli President Zalman Shazar and the military staff of Israel meet in Tel Aviv to dicuss about this "alien" accident. Meanwhile, the Israeli military begins to go under an expansion and upgrade due to the threat coming from its surrounding Arab nations, and the "hostile" UFO's that crashed into the moon. All of the Israeli Air Force is put on alert.
 * Venusians: The Venusians send a frigate to Mars to examine the wreckage. The Venusian vessel land several Venusian Marines who secure the wreckage and they begin work to identify the remains of the vessel and to make sure no weapons of war were entering the solar system. The Venusians begin a blockade of Mars to make sure no one is able to 'steal' the spacecraft they are working on. The Azaranians are warned not to enter the atmosphere of Mars until they are finnished with the wreckage. A Venusian scientist begins to work on ways to recover another downed spacecraft that landed on Earth several years ago near Roswell, New Mexico, USA. But scouting probes over the area record that the vessel was taken by Who-man authorities several years prior. Work begins on finding it.
 * Japan: Research begins on robotics to help in the factories. Research also starts on rockets to help create better ones. Following the recent alien activites in the world, we ask the US if the treaty preventing the Japenese from building a large miltary can be made void, as this is for defense.
 * US Diplomacy: If you feel you must, you may build a larger military.
 * Democrists: A Democrists trade vessel goes off course and soon lands in solar system to see other races are there. The Democrists decide to not be left out and seeing that they have already lost their homeworld to nuclear war, they decide that the Humans, even though inferoir, must be saved. We send a large group of settlers to Pluto to stay undetected, and a large dome base that will keep the setters warm is built.

1965.75

 * USA: The United States responds to the bizzare message from space. Attempts to decode it do not work. Satellites, however, have discovered several new objects entering the Solar System. A NATO summit is planned for January to discuss these events.
 * Mechs: More of the military is activated. Already, 13.5 billion soldiers are activated and many more are on their way. Installations 5, 6, and 7 are activated. Interception of transmissions is conducted and trade links are learned. Late this quarter, a probe is sent to survey the Orion and Sagitarius Arms of the galaxy.
 * Regenteches: A space probe is sent to the Solis System when interest is spared following the Solis-vor Incident. It enters the depths of Neptune and then stops sending signals. Meanwhile, they decide that they will not approach Solis-Vor (Mars).
 * The Byzantium Empire: Colonization ships and cruisers are sent to Mars and Earth respectivley.
 * Canada: Decides to launch its own space program and starts investigating other planets.
 * Israel: Israel still dosn't like the news about this alien contact, and continues to increases its military, and expansion on its nuclear weapons stockpiles. More mobilization occurs, and non-agreesion pacts are sent to the surrounding Arab nations.
 * D-X Empire: The Empire insists that all species withdraw from the Sol system with the exception of the Venusians. To enforce their request, a fleet of two Dravimosian Research ships, one Dravimosian frigate, and four Xeraji frigates enter the Sol system and enter orbit around Pluto. The empire also announces that strange signals have been coming from the outer edges of the galaxy. Translation of Human languages begins.
 * USSR: The Soviet Union ends its current spacewalk mission after strange signals are recieved from space. It calls all Warsaw pact members to a meeting to discuss the issue.
 * Caborr: Three Cabborean cruisers pull into Venusian orbit. Encountering the Venusians, they request that they be allowed to collect the survivors still inside the wreckage as well as the data collected. The rest of the wreck is theirs to check, but the Caborreans would like that back also. The Caborreans reach out to contact the Salaamberians and Azaranians, hoping for an alliance between the three powers. The Caborreans realize the need to protect and preserve the human planet, and seek to again attempt contact when they return to Earth's orbit.
 * Venusian Diplomacy: You may retrieve your dead, but nothing else
 * France: France prepares delegates to send to the NATO summit in January. They are also puzzled by the strange message from the passing ships.


 * Argentina suffers the coup d'état called Argentine Revolution, and Juan Carlos Oganía becomes de facto President. The coservative government of Oganía forbids peronism and communism. Argentina starts to launch its first space program with the intention to establish contact with the alins.
 * Barq: The Prince Merchant Ogo Naggal arrives to Venus, where he asks for a trade pact with the venusians. The braqian President Alqa Naggal, head of the disploamtical relationships, chooses to ignore the Xeraji request of a withdrawal from Sol. His veto is apply in the Propaganda and Communication Committee, in charge of all the government's publications, so the asking is not even known by the people of Braq. A powerful Sealord called Oroq Ogo Allagg travels to Venus to ask the venusians about his new discovered Earth species. What do they know about them?
 *  Is this the Barq? 
 *  Venusian Diplomacy:  The Venusians say that "All you need to know about Earth is one thing, always expect the unexpected."
 * Braqian Diplomacy: All right, then. Do you accept our trade offer?
 * Venusian Diplomacy: Yes I accept
 * Australia: Australian Radio transmitters ind a signal that sound similar to a voice, however it is indecipherable. this is odd, coupled with the events of the probe, and the spaceship recently discovered in mars. they ask the USA if they know anything more about this (Note: Australia is not a member of NATO, and the USA would keep findings secret, except from close allies, so australia doesn't really know anything.)
 * Imperial Salaamberian Company: The Salaamberians make first contact with the Xeraji-Dravimos people, and the Venusians. They send reaserchers to study earth as a preserve.They Wish to make no contact with earth, as it is evident that they are a very primitive species, and should not be interfered with.Earth should be left preserved as is. They think newer species may not grasp this, but being around for a while, the Salaamberians feel it's best to leave things alone. They Prepare a meeting on Ozna-Dw-15, (known on Earth as Sedna, an asteroid near the edge of the solar system.), for those nations involved to decide the fate of earth.
 * D-X Empire diplomacy: The Dravimosians will be there.
 * Venusian diplomacy: The Venusians will be there
 * Caborrean diplomacy: The Caborreans will be there.
 * Braqian diplomacy: The Prince Merchant Naggal will be there.
 * Japan: After getting no response from the US or NATO, the Japanese declear that they will build up the miltary. Missles are being built, though they arn't nuclear. Research on robotics and rockets continue.
 * Democrists: The First Domed Structure on Pluto has been complete, and more DSs are being built. A Space Station has been left in orbit around Pluto to have a place to help keep the bases supplied. They warn the Humans that if they have nuclear war, their homeland will be destroyed just like our old homeland, a wasteland.
 * Venusian Diplomacy: We demand that you leave the Sol System, though you may stay in the Oort Cloud
 * Venusian: The Venusians continue the blockade of Mars. They allow the Caborr to take their dead and they then quickly descend on the wrekage. They methodically transport the ship into Martian orbit where it is taken to Venusian orbit for study. The Venusians begin to line the Oort Cloud with picket ships and frigates to intercept any ships attempting to enter the Sol System. The Venusians revisit Roswell, New Mexico in a small planetary lander. They retrieve all the evidence that they can find and then leave, several of the survivors are taken as well but returned in 12 hours. The Venusians begin to intercept signals from the fabelled "Forge". The Venusians send three battleships and ten frigates to seek out the signal from the "Forge".
 * Caborrean Diplomacy: The Caborr are outraged, and demand return of the wreckage and the data collected from the ship. The Caborr intended for the Venusians to search the ship to prove that there were no weapons being carried, and nothing else.
 * The West Germans not caring about the events in space work to build back up their destoryed economey.
 * The Ryrak trade federation is interested about event on mars, but look the other way for now as they head north to collect payments form other planets.
 * Salaamberian Diplomacy (meeting on Ozna-Dw-15)
 * ​The Salaamberians state clearly that their intention is to leave the planet alone as a preserve. it should be studied, but not interfered with.
 * The Dravimos insist that all races not native to the system leave as soon as possible. A battlegroup will be arriving in the next three months to ensure that everyone leaves. Studying will still be permitted, but establishing bases in the system will not be.
 * Salamberian Diplomacy: the salaamberians intend on establishing a reaserch base on Ozna-Dw-15, however, it is in the Oort cloud and would only be used for peaceful purposes.
 * The Dravimos will allow it for a few years, but will expect it to be destroyed at some time. The Sol System should belong solely to its indigenous races.
 * The Caborr will leave, but insist that the Venusians return the wreckage and data from the crashed ship before they do. For now, they will remain in Venusian orbit.
 * Caborrian Diplomacy: What if we make this official and form an alliance to ensure the protection and isolation of earth?
 * Alright we can form an alliance and we'll return your ship, but without any electronics as they will be taken for research.
 * If you want the electronics, just ask. Since we're in an alliance, we will share our information openly with our allies.
 * Braqian diplomacy: The merchant class, supported by the party currently in power, seems to agree with the policy of the rest of the governments. The Supreme Sealord Ozhen Agaqa, a confederal conservative, supports the idea. But the Sealord Oroq Ogo Allag, who is more liberal, seems to disagree. He says: "Who are we to isolate the Earth and study its inhabitants like it was a natural reserve full of animals. Have you forgotten the dark ages that our planets pass before ente rin this space era? I say that we must sends representatives to the Earth, we must help the humans to avoid the dark ages and become part of our modern civilization. It's jsut cruel to let them continue primitive and isolated."
 * The Venusians have known the humans since their inception, if we arrive there it will do more harm for thier society than good. It is best for us to remain in the shadows and perhaps pull their strings from afar until they can handle an alien encounter.
 * Dravimosian Diplomacy: They already know about the ship crashing into mars and several messages have been sent to them. not much harm can come if we contact their governments.
 * The Dravimos are not saying to leave the system alone completly, justnot have any non-indigenous race have colonies there. You can still contact Humanity if you want.
 * The Democrists ask if we can allow bases in the outer planets as the Human race won't be able to use these planets for a few hundred years until they get the needed technology to do so. They could also destroy themselves if left alone.
 * Dravimos Diplomacy: You can try, but the Venusians won't like it and we wouldn't either.
 * Democrists Diplomacy: Well, what I am saying is that the outer planets are too cold for the Humans but we have the technology to build structures to warm our colonists. If the Humans got the technology to colonise the planets in the solar system, then this would be a different story. However, they don't, plus we wouldn't be taking any planets that would be useful for them.
 * Dravimosian Diplomacy: Its also the Venusian's system as well, so they have a right over the planets as well. By the way, we could help you reconquer your home planet if you want.
 * Democrists Diplomacy: We will leave Pluto then, and don't worry about our homeland. It has been destroyed twice in a nuclear war, so it wouldn't be a good idea to go back. That, and it might be an inspiration for the people who want to force us back into those dark years.
 * Salaamberian diplomacy: Earth is too primitive. they are not ready for this, yet. I say that we at least wait to contact them. they will wonder about the previous messages, but they won't come close to deciphering them. Until they are able to land their own race on another planet (probably mars) they should not be interfered with. Furthermore, I agree with the Caborreans in making an alliance to protect Earth. We don't know who may be out there trying to exploit their rescources, or enslave its people. Also, the venusians agree with not contacting them, and they understand them the best.
 * Caborrean Diplomacy: I'll take the honor of naming the alliance. How about, the Sentient Protection Alliance. After all, we're all sentients here and we're trying to protect other sentients.
 * Salaamberian diplomacy: that sounds good to me. we are establishing a reaserch base on this asteriod/dwarf planet/celestial object (Sedna) called Jnudeelq. It could serve as the headquarters for such an alliance.
 *  Sign-ups for the Sentient Protection Alliance: 
 * Caborr
 * Salaamberia
 * Venusian
 * Dravimos
 * Caborrean Diplomacy: Caborr will immediately dispatch seven representatives (one from each color) to Jnudeelq.
 * Azaranians: Azaranians continue working on fixing thier warp engine on mars, and begin to consider accepting the proposal of the sentient protection alliance.

1967

 * USA: The United States discusses with its fellow NATO members how to handle the situation. Seeing increased UFO ships in New Mexico ends up in America sending the military to the location. They do what they can to tell the UFO to please leave US airspace.
 * Will be making a negotiation page for Aliens and Humans.
 * Mechs: Several cruisers speed towards Earth. When approaching the Oort Cloud, the Mechs notice a blockade of ships with a familiar registry. Several stealth fighters sneak by unnoticed through the blockade, shooting probes towards a few cruisers to introduce the Mech Computer Virus into the cruisers. The virus sends the language of the blockaders to the Mechs so the Mechs can communicate with them. Furthermore, the virus blinds a few sensor arrays, creating a blind spot in the sensors. The cruisers stay outside of the Oort Cloud to facilitate communication with the blockade as the stealth fighters speed to Earth in search of the beacon.
 * Caborr: The Caborrean ship returning to Jnudeelq with the seven representatives notices a peculiar ship. They quickly alert the Salaamberians and Venusians. It appears that the first confrontation has begun.
 * Japan: Research on robotics and rockets continues, and some advances are made in these fields. The miltary continues to be built up, and some new missles are built, non-nuclear, for defense purposes.
 * Democrists: The base on Pluto is dismantled after an agreement at the meeting on Onza. Instead, we will focus more on home affairs and continue to expand in our own area. Settlers will instead colonise planets near us to prevent conflict with other alien species. Exploration teams start to go out to go find other planets that can be colonised.
 * Dravimos-Xeraji Empire: The Ninth Battlegroup enters the Sol system and settles into orbit around Sedna to ensure that the area mantains peace. The Battlegroup consists of one Dravimos Capital ship, one Dravimos carrier, three Dravimos battleships, twenty Dravimos cruisers, ten Dravimos frigates, one Xeraji battleship, forty Xeraji cruisers, and two Dravimos Senosr ships. The sensor ships send out electromagnetic signals that record every object within 100 AU. They detect unidentified ships in the system, and they alert other races about the situation.
 * USSR: The government begins a new space program to learn about the origin of the strange signals in space. They launch a crew of four cosmonauts to take readings outside Earth's atmoshpere.
 * Israel continues to amp up and expand its army and self-suffienctity, and an majority of their nuclear weapons are put on alert. Israel hopes to discuss an non-agreesion pact with the USSR and Warsaw Pact.
 * Salaamberia: all the reaserch vessels get to Ozna-Dw-15. since the numbering system is only for planets of relatively minor to no importance, it is renamed Jnudeelq, salaamberian for "god's vision" (refering to the SPA's veiw point to observe earth) meanwhile, one of the reaserch vessels refuses to open after it lands. it then tries to fly away, and even manages to kill a scientist. it eventually does fly away. attempts to track it fail, due to the fact that it has disabled its own tracking device. in fact, the ship sharted acting like some kind of rabid-machine that developed sentinience. surveilance pictures show that there was a probe of some kind attached to this ship. they warn all personell to dismantle or reprogram any ship with theese pods on them.
 * Australia: the australians are still in the dark about what is going on. they see extraterestrial activity on mars, and in the far reaches of the solar system. they ask the USA to tell them any knowledge of theese events.
 * The Byzantium Empire: The Byzantiums land a colonization ship on Mars and establsih the settlemt of Nova Roma. Examination of the wreckage begins. The Byzantium Empire lands 2 Space Cruisers in Egypt on Earth, and a base is established there.
 * Sentient Protection Alliance: On behalf of the SPA, the Dravimos demand that you withdraw your ships from Mars and Earth immediatly before someone detects you . The is no more wreckage on Mars.
 * Byzantium Empire Diplomacy: Byzantium will leave Earth, at least for now, but it will not vacate Mars. The total amount of cruisers near Mars is just over 50, while the y carry a large amount of colonists and troops, as the home world is crowded and Mras looks like it can be terraformed. Terraforming has actualy already begun with the beginng of the construction of large magnetic bands of metal and other elements to help foster a Magnetic Field. More Cruisers are sent to Mars. Construction on war industries have already begun on Mars as well.
 * Venusian Diplmoacy: Leave, we do not want you messing with the enviroment of planets nearby.
 * SPA: This is not your system, so you must leave at some point. Also, you should ask the Venusians, as they are the most advanced native race to this system, whether they want Mars terraformed. What is your homewold, by the way?
 * BE Diplomacy: In the Large Megellanic Cloud Galaxy, around the star called Byzantar I, and we are the third planet from that sun, although we have colonized the rest of the Byzantar I system.
 * SPA: You are once again requested to vacate the planets of Mars and Earth and proceed to the Oort Cloud. If you refuse to comply with SPA regulations, you will be subject to immediate action.
 * BE Diplomacy: Earth has been left, but the Mars colony is still growing alrgely and its population is growing hugely. The number of colony ships is more han 2000, and will arive next turn. Military forces are alos acompaning the colony ships, and if you realy donty the humans to see us, then I wouldnt try fighting back, or WE WILL tell the Humans we are here, adn give one eselect Human nation technology for Space travel.
 * The Braqians sign the treaty of the Sentient Protection Alliance. But the Sealord Allag is angry. He starts a movement with his supporter in the planets of the Braq Confederacy. The movement marches under the motto "Help the humans to civilizate, they're no animals". The entire confederation knows about the ambitions of conquest of Allag, and his desire to become Supreme Sealord, and his empathy with the people is helping him. He spreads more propaganda in the foreign government to get supporters in his movement. The Prince Merchant Naggal asks for a mutual trade and military allaince between the members of the Sintient Protection Alliance. Two sceintists, one ambassadors and one Sealord (called Reqlon Azhag, member of the oposite faction to Allag) arte sent to Jnudeelq.
 * I am a mod and i state that this is slightly ASB, please try to, in the future, be less ASB. If there are any questions ask a mod. Bobalugee1940
 * Regenetech: A colony is established in Neptune, since Vladsar V, the probe, has examined it and it is very similar to the Regenel Homeworld. They place Extrend X (another probe) in orbit around Mars while Raggin VII is sent to explore Earth's Moon. Plans are to expand the Empire within the Sol System. A colony is established on Triton since the Regenetechs breathe Nitrogen.
 * You are aware that you can't land on Neptune, right?
 * Neptune is a GAS GIANT. You can't land on gas. Sorry.
 * Then a moon then. Triton.
 * He actually said IN Neptune, so that may imply in the atmosphere.
 * Venusian: The Venusians quickly recognize the Mech Virus from their previous war with the said species. The Venusians remotley detonate the infected probes and launch an anti-matter weapon at the infected Salaamberian vessel, completley destroying it. The Venusians mobilize thier military and they launch nearly twenty frigates, thirteen hundred fighter-bombers, and over one thousand AI fighters from thier storages around Venus and Mercury. They send these fighters to the Oort Cloud and cloak themselves as to not be detected by the Mechs. The Venusians arm EMP devices on thier ships to disable any Mech drone attempting to establish a Mech Virus on the vessel. The ships also cut all communications from each other besides visual signals and primitive radio transmissions to not allow the Mech Virus to spread from one ship to another.
 * France: Since all of us seem to agree, I'll assume we're carrying through with the joint mission. Question 1: Who is willing to support the mission. Question 2: Where to? There seem to be two possibilities: Mars and the Moon. Please respond with below. Make sure for Question 2 you respond with you nation's name and which we should go.
 * Who will support the joint mission?
 * France
 * USSR
 * Canada
 * Japan
 * South Africa
 * Where should we go?
 * France: Mars
 * USSR: Moon
 * Canada: Mars
 * Japan: Moon
 * South Africa: Solar Orbit
 * Proposed Mission Names
 * Ascension (USSR)
 * Archangel (France)
 * Explorer (Canada)
 * Liberty (Japan)
 * Helios (South Africa)
 * Azaranians: The Azaranians are nealy finished seting the warp up.

1967.25

 * United States: A mission to Mars is confirmed. The planned Apollo Mission is scrapped for the Ares Mission. The Ares mission is a series of missions to Mars to study the research vessel.
 * France Diplomacy: Is this the joint mission we discussed or a strictly United States mission?
 * US Diplomacy: This is seperate. A joint mission will also be underway, barring international incident.
 * Mechs: Though the infected ships had been destroyed, the information required was transmitted to the Mechs. The Mech fleet gets closer to the blockade to communicate with the blockaders. They transmit a signal to the Venusians, stating "We wish to reclaim an artifact from a planet in this system. This artifact cannot fall into the wrong hands. Allow our cruisers to pass so we may reclaim this artifact and sentient lives will not be wasted. Do you accept these terms and conditions?" Meanwhile, the stealth fighters reach Earth and searc
 * Japan: All research projects continue, and the miltary is expanded. More funding goes into space research following several plans for going into space.
 * Democrists: More bases are established on planets near our solar system. A team went out to our orignal homeland, but deemed it two radoactive for anyone to go back there without good protection from the radiation. This disappoints many people who thought it might have been safe by now, but many think we might be able to go back on day. A large amount of energy is being used to create new weapons that will be able to fire eletricity. However, thanks to our capablities to create large amounts of energy, this isn't much of a problem.h for the signal from the artifact, remaining undiscovered.
 * Argentina is building up its defense and military system. Oganía, still in power, asks the NATO to become an associate member, a representer in the south hemisphere. Some peronist guerrillas, as also communist ones, start to attack the government and spread disorder and chaos.
 * Braq decided to send the Sealord Reqlon Azhag to stablish a colony in the outskirts of the Sol System with the objective of support the protection given by the SPA. The anti-government Sealord Allag is spreading his "anti-isolationist" ideals in the braqian population, turning more and more soldiers and citzens, and even some Prince Merchants (who see a possible business in Earth). The Prince Merchant Naggal says that, to solve the problem with the mechs. himself, in company of one representative of each race of the SPA, and a mech, would be the member of the expedition that searches the artifact.
 * D-X Empire: The Ninth Battlegroup moves further into the Sol System, establishing new orbit around Neptune to be closer to Earth in the event a race lands there. The Eighth Battlegroup captures several systems from pirates.
 * Regenetech Diplomacy: Stand clear of Triton and the other moons of Neptune, for we are there.
 * USSR: The cosmonauts in space detect several annomalies but are unable to discover the source of them. The government prepares for a new moon mission.
 * Israel: Israeli radar detects numerous targets approaching Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, but nothing is visble, and the computer was working find. The Israeli air force is mobilized, and begin an massive recon into the airspace over other Arab nations (we mean know harm to the other countries) in search of these targets.
 * Canada: Canada decides to take on a moon project named Apollo. However, this creates controversy since Canada wants to help NATO with the Mars Operation. A solution is reached. For the anti-communist sake, Canada will take on its Apollo mission to defeat the USSR in the moon race. Meanwhile, Canada will not have its own Mars mission, but will help the NATO mission to Mars.
 * Regenetech: Seeing that no other Neptunian moons are habitable, the Regenetech move closer towards Sol. It is detected that Xeraji-Dravimos are orbiting Neptune, and a fleet of ships are sent to orbit Neptune just in case. Meanwhile, having approached Titan, a settlement is established there, with the great conditions found rather surprising. A group of Tritonian Regens move to the Titanian settlement. The 98.4 Nitrogen in the atmosphere is found strenghten the Regen life span and the frozen water in Kraken Mare is broken up to provide water.
 * Byzantine Empire: Earth has been left, but the Mars colony is still growing alrgely and its population is now over 220,000 Byzantine Settlers and growing fast. Industry on Mars is now producing space cruisers adn weapons while grewenhouses are now producing alrge amounts of food. The 2000 20 colony ships arive, and estalsih 4 more settlements within 100 miles of the orginal settlemnt. The total popualtion of Byzatines on Mars is now over 3,000,000 500,000 civillians, as the home world is crowded. Shields are already in place over all of settlments, and if they are attakced, the Humans will learn of our existance and be given knwoledge of Space travel, slthough not all that the Byzatines know.
 * I think that this is not very lets say plausible to raise teh population after you left the planet into 3 million from 200 000 in less than 4 months. I mean...this is just implausible, especialy since there are no other people coming from your homeworld. even 220 000 is very implausible number at this point.
 * This is ASB to have 3,000,000 civilians on this planet, light years away from the nearest star (exculding the Sun), in under/at 6 months. It whould take at least 3 years, 1 million per year. So right now you are at 500 thousand. Also 2,000 colony ships are ASB. The only reason I said over one thousand for me is because the were small, AI driven, fighters. Not colony ships. Bobalugee1940 
 * i sent over 2000 colony ships to Mars. I think thats a fair population, and besides, my species breeds very quickly
 * we woould have known that if you put it on the species page.....just saying.....Wegscuba 00:23, March 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * China: China conintues to buff up its military. In a bloody assassination, all of Chinas highest ranking and best abled Goverment officlais are killed in a massive bombing byanti-communist planes. With no leaders, or govermnet, the rest of the Communists are killed and a provisional Republic is estalbished by the people of China.
 * Australia: initiates a space program. telescopes confirm the existnce of some kind life on mars. they report their findings to the UN, but keep it a secret from average citizens
 * Imperial Salaamberian Company: sends battlecruisers to Jnudeelq because of recent events
 * Venusians: The Venusians tighten their blockade of the Sol System and send three carriers to the blockade party. The Council of the Aristocracy agree to allocate funds to the blockade of Mars. Seventeen Frigates are sent into Martian Orbit where they make sure that the Byzantines do not send any more colonists.
 * BE Diplomacy: Venus is told to stay away and reomve the blockade, over 800 Cruisers are on Mars, and willing to fight.
 * Are you sure? Azaranians will be on the side of the Venusians, you will not bring space travel tech to the human race!
 * Members of the SPA - go to the Alien negotiation page for a summit on recent events
 * SPA: Mechs, we may grant you permission to retrieve your artifact known as the forge on these conditions:
 * A representative starship from each species in the SPA will accompany you
 * You bring only one ship
 * You remain on earth only long enough to retrieve the artifact
 * Once you obtain the forge, you use it's power to create another planet in the system of the Byzantine Empire that they can inhabit and colonize
 * Mech Diplomacy: The Forge is large. It will take a few construction cruisers to raise The Forge and escort it out of the system. Rebuilding it will take a few years, but with our workers, we can rebuild it. Byzantine, we can create a planet, but keep in mind that it will need to be in the habitable zone to STAY habitable. Venusians, we know we have some bad blood between us, but we can make it up to you by making Venus habitable again.
 * Venusian Diplomacy: We will accept an alliance if you can make Venus habitable again. But if you try to destroy us we will blow the Forge to kingdom-come. Even if that means destroying Earth.
 * Note: Its not going to just happen and Venus will be habitable in 4 months. It will take many, many years.
 *  That was not me, please don't pretend to be me. 
 * I should have made it clearer. That was FROM the Mechs TO the Venusians.
 *  Okay thanx for clearing that up. 
 * South Africa: The South Africans continue to build up thier economies and they begin to build rockets for space exploration.
 * Azaranian crews sent to mars finaly finish setting up the Warp engine, and it is now fully opearational. A recon ship is warped. from earth, it is nothing that was ever seen before, this event even more magnificent that the last. the crew discovers the Byzantines, and their intention of giving the Humans Space travel technology. The Azaranians say that if the Byzantines do such a thing, they will face the wrath of the Azaranian race, and the Azhurantia. Being an ancient race, the Azaranians are able to comprehend certain elements of this new dialect that the Venusians are speaking, calling it new venutian(as the last encounter with creatures in this system was 10 000 years ago on earth, and 100 000 years ago on Venus, at witch time the Azaranians built stonehenge(called it!) and learned the old venusian dialect). The Azaranain crew, seeing a base on Sol-4x5-195(ceres), they decide to send a delegation to a meeting of the SPA to observe their discussion and position. These men are dressed in diplomatic robes(like senatorial robes, but they are green). The delegation is followed by 30 fighters and 5 cruisers filled with marines ready to fight in order to protect the member of the great council that is traveling with them(wearing "Azhuria robes")

1967.50

 * Regenetech: We establish a trade route between Triton and Titan. Now we aim for Mars.
 * SPA Diplomacy: We request that the Regentech not advance any further into this system. You have already violated SPA rules by entering the system. Leave now or deal with SPA consequenses.
 * Regenetech Diplomacy: There are others within the system. The X-D are orbiting Neptune and the Byanztiums are on Mars. And Azanarians are on Mars as well. And we woul like to ask why. We will not do anything if you let us stay on Titan and Triton.
 * Canada: We observe several spaceships approaching Mars. A space station is built on the Arctic Islands. Meanwhile, we reapidly push on our Apollo program and ask South Africa if they want to help.
 * South Africa: yes we need help.
 * Canadian Diplomacy: Apollo Program is now joint between CAN and SA.
 * Japan: We ask France if we are still having a joint mission into space. If not, we are going to form our own mission into space, though it might take longer to get into space. Research on all prevouis things continues, and the miltary is expanded.
 * French Diplomacy: We are still carrying out the mission.
 * South African Diplomacy: The South Africans request that the Japanese help the South African space missions.
 * Democrists: More colonists land on planets in our own solar system. We have begun to use gentics technology to re-create animals that were on our old planet that were wiped out because of nuclear war. New anti-weapon systems are being put around our planet to prevent the usage of ICBMs. Also, moons around the planets we are colonising are being turned into space ports to place supplies for storage.
 * China: A mass expansion of all areas of the military continues and many ships are added to the increasingly strong navy. (Scrawland playing for DeanSims)
 * South Africa: The South Africans attempt to launch an Apollo rocket that they have attempted to make. It unfortunantley explodes in-atmosphere killing all three crew members. The South Africans turn towards creating an independently made rocket system. The South Africans make something akin to the Gemini rockets and name the series Nike, after the Greek goddess of victory. Nike I is launched out of the Cape of Good Hope and achieves Earth Orbit. Nike I lands in the Indian Ocean near Madagascar and is retrieved by the South African Navy.
 * I doubt South Africa could make a spacecraft in one year.
 * Its not an Apollo rocket or anything super-complex, plus they aren't building it from scratch either as they already have the research done by others and all they have to do is build it.
 * Israel: Israel announces today, that it will begin an space program, in which it will hunt down the objects that were intercepted by Israeli radar. Israel also declares that any UFO that comes within twenty miles of the Israeli coast, or 1000 feet in Israeli airspace, would be consider an threat, and would be intercepted, and if so, destroyed. Upgrades in the military continues.
 * D-X Empire: The Ninth Battlegroup tracks every foreign ship in the system, and they prepare for the Mechs to retrieve their artifact.
 * USSR: The Cosmonaut mission returns safely to Earth, and the government begins the Ascension project to the moon. They gain assistance from other Warsaw Pact members.
 * USA: The Ares Project continues. UFO sightings increase, especially around the coasts and near Texas. The Air Force is dispatched to escort confirmed UFOs to runways, though none are found by the Air Force.
 * Mechs: The search for the beacon begins early this quarter as several construction ships prepare to recieve The Forge. Finally, the Beacon is discovered in the intertidal zone of Chicxulub. A subsurface scan reveals that The Forge retains minimal power, but is in many pieces. Though it is inside of a nation, The Forge is in an uninhabitable part of Mexico, so the extraction does not harm or displace any humans. By the end of this quarter, sediment is pumped out of The Forge and parts are raised onto the beach and prepped for launch into space. The engines of The Forge have yet to be discovered and the main power source is unaccounted for. Also, images of the dig site are revealed to the public.
 * Venusian Diplomacy: We no longer wish for you to make Venus rehabitable but instead wish that the Venusians and the Mechs will instead form an alliance and use "the Forge" together.
 * Veusians: The Venusians pull back thier ships from the blockade of Mars and the group around the Sol System. The Venusian clergy cry out against the terraforming of Venus stating that the Mother Goddess and the Father God do not wish for the planet to be terraformed as they have set Venus as a Holy Shrine to all believers. The Venusian Prince instead asks for the Mechs to not terraform Venus but that instead they join in an alliance and use the forge together. Several Venusian landers land in New Mexico and are attacked by the USAF. The landers destroy three of the planes before retreating back to orbit to avoid any contact with large population centers. Several Venusian landers do land near the Mech excavation site and the scientist request that they enter the Mech site to help escavate the site with the least possibe damage to Earth.
 * JOINT MISSION
 * French Diplomacy: The members of the joint mission include France, USSR, Japan, Canada, and South Africa. Since I still assume that we are going through with the mission, I have an idea. What if we begin manufacturing space stations that can stay in orbit permenatly? Not just one, several. What do you think?
 * USSR Diplomacy: The USSR agrees to this plan, and proposes moving to the moon mission next.
 * French Diplomacy: Moving outwards seems to be the logical procession- orbit, Moon, Mars.
 * Canadian Diplomacy: We agree. Moon, Mars. Yep.
 * Japenese Diplomacy: We joined earlier, did we do somthing to get kicked off the list?
 * USSR Diplomacy: Nope, you're still on.
 * Japense Diplomacy: Just saw that. Anyways, we are still on board.
 * Australian diplomacy: can australia join the joint mission. we don't have much as far as a space program, but we have beeen left in the dark as far as what's out there
 * Caborr: Caborrean ships pull into orbit around the moons of Triton and Titan and set up a blocade. Acting on the authority of the SPA, the Regentech are asked to leave the planets.
 * Terran Empire: Seeing that other nations are coming in to colonize the this star system, they quickly begin terraforming Pluto. Due to its small size, it is estimated to be finished by 3-4 months. The Emperor sees Earth as an opportunity to capture a planet with a large population to be used as scientific testing "animals". Meanwhile, seeing the activity in this star system, it's vast army of 600 billion is mobilized, while its 3 billion starships are also activated and readied to be sent out. Meanwhile, a warp drive is set up in Pluto, to be used as a stepping stone to the other colonies. They mostly lie in wait, letting no one know of their plans. The military is quietly but steadily built up.
 * SPA Diplomacy: STOP! YOU MUST NOT TERRAFORM PLUTO!
 * How are you going to do that anyway?
 * What do you mean?
 * ISC: the ISC tells all foreign races to stay out of earth. a recent scientific discovery shows that they have several WMDs on their planet, weapons, that if used in large enough quantities, could destroy even our homeworlds. if they are willing to destroy their own species, just think of the contempt they may have for us if we are contacted. all of our "colonizing" and "exploring" has alerted them to our prescence. we must vacate this system, except for the venusians, who have lived here for milennia without disturbing earth.
 * Azaranians continue to observe this new solar system, and the readiness of Humans for contact.

1967.75

 * United States: After losing contact with an Air Force squadron, the US is on high alert in New Mexico. Meanwhile, telescopes pointed at Venus discover a number of UFOs around the planet. The US works on communication with these UFOs. The Ares Mission continues construction. A message for UFOs is planted into the rocket.
 * Mechs: Recovery of The Forge continues. The massive skeleton is recovered and sent into orbit. The engines are recovered in the Gulf of Mexico and is sent into orbit. Scaffolding around the skeleton is constructed as the main part of The Forge is rebuilt by the diligent workers. In September, a group of humans discover the dig sites. The humans panic and attack on sight. The Mechs are forced to capture, pacify, and wipe their memories of this incident. They let them go, but not before taking tissue samples to clone and place on Mech Infiltrators. The Infiltrators are used for peaceful purposes (learning the human language). A report of this incident is sent to the SPA. No humans were harmed.
 * SPA: We appreciate the notification
 * Japan: Research continues into rockets and robetics. We begin sending funding to the joint international space mission. We ask France for the offical name of this organization. We also ask when we are going to send up some rockets. The miltary is expanded and more missles are built.
 * Democrists: We colonise more of the planets in our solar system and install more anti-ICBM systems. More people begin to move into nearby solar systems. Most of the army has been equiped with laser weapons. We demand the Terran Empire doesn't terraform Pluto, as we were forced to leave it by the international community.
 * Regenetech: A fleet is dispatched from the homeworld and reaches the colonies in the Sol System. The Regenetechs want peace, but action will be taken in the SPA attacks. The fleet remains in Titanian and Tritonian orbits and await further order and stand by. Meanwhile, a delegation is sent to the SPA and ever other non-human race to attend. (i.e. Venusians, Mechs, X-D)
 * Canada: The Apollo project is estimated to succeed in two-three years. We ask the US if we can share info with Australia and join Apollo with them and South Africa.
 * Byzantium Empire: Colonists start leaving Mars and the Solar System on request of the SPA.
 * The Terran Empire: The Terran Empire finish terraforming Pluto, and quietly begin moving into Naiad, a moon off of Neptune. It is also terraformed, much faster due to its small size. Warp drives are also built on Naiad, and the Terrans begin readying to colonize more moons.
 * D-X Empire: The Eighth, Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelveth Battlegroups enter the Sol System, and all battlegroups converge on Neptune. They demand that the Terrans cease all terraforming and withdraw from this System, as it violates Venusian colonies and the Venusian people. The total number of ships are now well over one thousand, including eleven capital ships capable of massive destruction. Dravimos scientists create an airborn version of the Xeraji virus, which they deploy as a chemical weapon, the likes of which have never been seen before.
 * Regenetech Diplomacy: The Regen Ambassador and the Governor emerge from Triton accompanied by 700 of the best Regen ships, and two fleets sent from the homeworld. They ask the D-X and the SPA if they can be allowed to stay on Triton and Titan and offer to release all territorial claims on Triton. But Titan, we say, can we keep some claim over? Since Titan is somehow Venusian, we ask if we can retain Triton or keep Triton or swap with the SPA. You keep Triton, give us Titan. Or can we purchase both or one? Preferrably Titan. We will offer you any sum we can afford to acquire territorial claim on areas near Kraken Mare on Titan and area on Triton.
 * NOTE: TWO FLEETS EQUAL TWO SETS OF 250 SPACESHIPS.
 * REMINDER: ANOTHER FLEET IS ALREADY THERE.
 * D-X Empire Diplomacy: You'll have to take that up with the Venusians, since they own the system.
 * Regenetech Diplomacy: We thank you and we ask the SPA to send the same message to the Venusians, since we cannot contact them. However, we keep attempting to contact them.
 * Venusian Diplomacy:  Sorry I was offline for awhile  The Venusians do not want any amount of money for Triton, we demand that you leave.
 * SPA: THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING- LEAVE!
 * Regenetech: The fleets take all Regens off of Triton and Titan. However, they cannot leave due to the surrounding ships. (Move your ships!) Sorry, I was sleeping in EST.
 * USSR: The Asenscion Project continues as planned, and the first phase should begin next year if all goes well.
 * Venusians: The Venusians sends the three carriers from the group near the fringe of the system (the VSS Venus, the VSS Saturn, and the VSS Jupiter) to Saturn along with two batteships, and twenty frigates. The carriers hold one thousand AI fighters and one hundred manned fighter-bombers. The colonist on Venus set up artillery against the Regens, ready to fire at a moment's notice. The Council of the Aristocracy approves the Prince's plan to allocate nearly 17 million credits to the excavation of the Forge.
 * Regenetech: The fleets take all Regens off of Triton and Titan. However, they cannot leave due to the surrounding ships. (Move your ships!) Sorry, I was sleeping in EST.
 * Caborr: The Caborr remove their ships to allow the Regen to exit.
 * Regenetech: Leave, but not before asking the Venusians if some settlers can stay on Titan.
 * Caborr: A team is dispatched to Pluto to investigate it's terraforming.
 * Regenetech: 1/5 of a leaving fleet stops to investigate terraforming of Pluto alongside the Caborreans due the SPA becoming concerned about this matter.
 * JOINT MISSION
 * France: This year, everyone will begin building the framework and structure for two space stations. In a year, we will share information to equip them similarly internally. Feel free to name them however you like. My two stations - Archangel Michael and Archangel Gabriel.
 * Canada: Our names: Explorer of Humanity and Orienter of Discovery. We noticed a great cluster of dots surrounding Neptune and Saturn. Canada's Apollo 1 is launched, containing one Canadian astronaut, one South African, and an American astronaut, all of whom were formerly trained by NASA and then trained in the CSEA. It goes into orbit and come back down. Mark Holt, one of the Canadians, notes many dots surrounding many planets in the Solar System. Apollo 2's launch is planned for 1969, alongside Nike V, if South Africa wishes so.
 * South Africa: Our names will be Space Station Ever Victorious and Space Station Odysseus. Nike II is launched along with Nike III which both orbit Earth several times before landing in the Indian Ocean.
 * Australian diplomacy: I guess i joined the mission. i'll work with south africa, since australia doesn't have a space program
 * Japan: Research continues, and new robotics technology comes out that shows it has promising use in manufacturing. The miltary is equiped with more missles, and we have begun construction of on the two space stations. A large amount of funding is going to it, and some of the nation's best engineers, scientists, and designers are working on the project. The two names will be Liberty and Final Frontieer.

1968

 * United States: The planned Ares Mission is going quicker than expected. Launch is expected in October. Training for the astronauts begins as the spacecraft's construction enters its final stage. Meanwhile, the USA offers a non-aggression pact to the USSR for five years.
 * Mechs: More of The Forge is recovered. The main engines are upgraded and installed. Meanwhile, the power source is discovered in the deep Atlantic Ocean. It is installed into The Forge, though kept inactive. By the end of this quarter, most of the superstructure has been restored. Upgrades are beginning. Unfortunately, another incident with the humans arises. Another human discovers the dig site and brings in reinforcements. The reinforcements (a drug cartel) bring guns and weapons. Several workers are killed and a fuel depot is damaged. The Mechs open fire, killing the hostile humans and recovering the bodies. Dissection of the corpses begin. Again, the incident is filed to the SPA.
 * SPA: Thank you for sending use this report. However, since this group was not affiliated with any government, please do not retaliate.
 * Terran Empire: 3,000 ships are mobilized, as well as 800 billion soldiers and 300 billion support staff, in an army larger than 1 trillion. The entire army warps in to around Pluto, and begins to take up defensive formations. They warn other nations on aggression against the Terrans, as the Mechs are with them.
 * Regenetech: Are Mechs really with you?
 * Mechs: We are sympathetic, yes, though we would rather avoid a war. Resort to diplomacy before violence.
 * Regenetech: We would also prefer diplomacy any day and do not want any bloodshed.
 * Regenetech: We warn you. Being a non-SPA member (although we don't want to be hostile to any sentients), we now what will happen. It is best if you leave now.
 * Do you even know how much one trillion is???? or even 800 billion? too much I tell you. Scale your numbers down
 * Regenetech: The first five Fleets are sent toward Pluto but wait outside in the Kuiper Belt. Does the SPA want us to attack teh Terran?
 * Dravimosian Diplomacy: Not yet. The Terrans have yet to respond to diplomacy.
 * Regenetech Diplomacy: Ok, we shall wait. We shall attack on command on the SPA, though we prefer a peaceful solution. Emperor Vlasvar will visit Jnudleeq soon to confer with SPA.
 * Israel: Another mass of blops are detected on radar, and the air force is mobilized. For the first time, the object was seen, and is intercepted by the Israeli Air Force, and damaged by the Israeli air force, and later crashes into the coast off of Israel.
 * Canada: Work continues on Apollo 2. Funding is provided to the joint mission with NATO featuring the space stations. A model of Explorer and Discovery are built. They will be linked together. Astros I will be launched in April, putting the first part of Explorer-Discovery in space.
 * D-X Empire: The various battlegroups continue their orbit around Neptune. Seeing the mass of Terran forces massing on Pluto, several Xeraji battlegroups join the system. They make one final demand to the Terrans: Leave your colonies behind and return the terraformed worlds to normal. This is not your system, and a race as old and distinguished as yours could easily find another system without inhabitants.


 * USSR: The first section of the first Ascension Space Station is put into orbit. Fearing any complications, a small cannon is put on it, but with no current passengers it cannot harm anyone.
 * Canadian Diplomacy: Will other nations be able to access Ascension?
 * USSR Diplomacy: At the moment no, but this will change over time.
 * Byzantium Empire: Byzantians continue to leave Mars.
