Quote :: Saerd Directive to Assume Control of UCUS

With the mysterious sickness of the Ursine king, King Alara-Rhonyr III, the Saerid Directive has assumed leadership over both nations until he gets better. The Saerid Directive refused to say anything about it except that they hope he gets better and that they also know little to nothing about illnesses.

Ursine nationalists are in an uproar and suspect the Saerid Directive poisoned him. They have formed organized strikes against the Directive and the fragile balance between the two nations are threatening to fall apart from this tragic event. The Directive ensures it has the intentions of both nations at heart.

Krug wrote:: The eventual construction of a ring of slowly orbiting, immobile gun platforms around the Qetësi homeworld is completed, medium sized stations mounted with focused plasma long-cannon batteries acting as a more definite defence mechanism.

People of the Amalgamation rejoice, new defenses worrying them slightly with the prospect of conflict so close to home, but the Leskëimi assures all on Qailësel that weapons to discourage hostility protects their violence-free culture and ensures diplomacy with the Qetësi is a much easier approach than aggression.

The Honoured Grand-Admiral Sercë që-Merilatëqa stands with her as she announces this in the twenty-first hour of the day, on every network across the planet. Controversy over her appointment by her sister, to a position newly created, still creates worrying words within Qetësi society. Every member of the Amalgamation prays for the blessings and lasting peace of the Eye.

Krug wrote:: Celebrations sound out on Qailësel, lasting for almost a whole half-cycle as the Qetësi celebrate their 'Unity Day' under the bright and warm gaze of the Eye. People are overjoyed to see their Leskëimi and her sister walking amongst the people, dressed in traditional white dress as crowds bow and show their appreciation for the unified Qetësi nation.

Lighting the torch at the end of the day, dressed in formal Navy officer's wear, is Vice-Admiral Kërei al-Mëtari. She promises a peaceful Qailësel for generations to come, the sight of her colossal dreadnought in a much lower orbit no doubt inspiring the people to stay calm and feel protected in such troubled times.

It is speculated the Amalgamation have turned to research, having been incredibly dormant save for their usual trading and journeys to the League.

Amundi scientists have begun intensive research into all-things space. They've reproduced copies of the technologies from the merchant ship and have begun modifying and optimizing the technology for their own purposes.

Among the many technologies they've been working on, they've delved deeply into communications technologies and have been delighted to discover how to make subspace communications for their ships. They are currently in the process of making production models to incorporate into their ships.

The Amundi have successfully built a fourth cruiser for their fleet. It has been loaded with more advanced communications technology, including a prototype subspace radio. They have already sent the fourth cruiser, which has been named Aerlis Balashot, to a planet in their sector that has seemed very similar to their home planet. They are eager to colonize it with the help of their new ship, the Aerlis Balashot.

Quote :: Ursine Prime Ceases Strikes

The tensions between the Ursus and the Saerid Directive seem to beginning to cease. Many Ursine workers have left their strike and begun to work again in factories and other areas of work, the sector's efficiency picking back up and starts to support the claim by the Saerid forces as they capture more planets and expand the combined empires.

Not much has been released regarding the Ursine king, King Alara-Rhonyr III, but rumors of his health regaining fill the streets and fill the Ursine with hope and joy, increasing the moral of all Ursine.

The Amundi have begun work on different energy sources other than their usual nuclear energy. They haven't come up with any revolutionary energy sources yet, but they are actively looking.

Monthly Bather Posts : 336 Join date : 2012-02-04

The Amundi have created a nuclear fusion reactor based on one they found in a merchant ship that crashed on their planet. They have moved the reactor into a space station near their sector. Along with the reactor they discovered large quantities of He3, which they can use to power the reactor.

The Amundi leader Derkarsh has realized the Amundi's need for a military and has begun calling on Amundish volunteers to dedicate years of their life to service to the Amundish people.

Research has begun to focus on armor and vehicles for the Amundish soldiers. The soldiers will receive proper training on their aspects. The Amundi have already adapted their small gauss weapons to more specialized functions and begun producing weapons specifically for the military. With the advent of potential trade with the Zaedrax they have also prepared facilities for the production of war-robots.

The Amundi have also begun to try and improve the range and accuracy of their ship-mounted railguns.

The Zaedrax Tetrabune officially authorizes the research and development of improved AI software. Current Zaedrax AI is limited to military applications and is heavily restricted to simply do heavy information lifting. New research and development would increase AI intelligence significantly, and see its application in civilian and military fields.

Over the past month and a half, Tradeliners going to the Nichi Homeworld have experienced strange dreams and deja-vu upon arrival and departure of the planet. These experiences stop when they have reached half a light year away from the Nichi Homeworld.

Though a known fact so far is that the Nichi Empire has been buying a lot of cybernetic tech of various design and brands. There has been well assured rumors that the Nichi have been researching in Cybernetic tech.

Quote :: Qetësi Share Technology

The few remaining Qetësi that have survived by being on the planet UU-73 have shared their knowledge with the Saerid Directive, who now control most of Qetësi land on UU-73. The Saerid Directive work with the Qetësi to effectively improve the remnants of Qetësi and rebuild their peaceful empire with the Saerid's help. The Saerid integrate the Qetësi remnants into their society and offer their cooperation to the endangered species of alien. Researchers of both respected nations begin to share technology, both thriving off the others contribution.

Quote :: New UCUS Ships Active for Service

Harvesting the metals and fuels from planets under UCUS ownership, the UCUS forges more ships that are now ready for active service. They are equipped with the new technology the UCUS has gotten over the months. The maiden voyages for the ships went smoothly and are under the command of Saerid and Ursine captains.

Quote :: Peace Talks

The UCUS has forged an alliance with many nations and talks of a coalition are spreading like wild fire. The alliances share information they choose to give. The large empires joinning together, seperate from the actions of The League of Stars, against a threat but it is unknown what the threat actually is at this time. Only the nations leaders know of the plan.

Subject: Re: **Galactic News** Fri Oct 19, 2012 9:54 am

Zaedrax AI research has yielded advanced prototypes, and they are being implemented into the ZTN Infinity, as well as other military vessels and units. The prototypes have begun to ask "difficult" questions to their creators, but the Zaedrax simply see this as a good sign of improvement. All the while, certain military bases have reported cases of small arms fire, but the Zaedrax Tetrabune states that these are simply weapon tests.

With new resources from trade, colonies, and mining ventures, the Zaedrax Tetrabune have completed construction on multiple new vessels, and have completed research on more advanced coil-based weapons, and new particle-beam technology.

The Zaedrax have also negotiated multiple trade deals and alliances with other races, including the Amundi Federation, The Saerid Directive, and The Pit.

The Amundi have transferred their efforts from recruiting soldiers to manufacturing war-robots. Their factories have gone into over-drive producing Amundish war machines based off the designs and working robots they received from the Zaedrax. They have also begun implementing the AI into the robots.

The Amundi did however put a kill switch in all the robots, incase any of the AI's went rogue. Amundish programmers have also begun working on the AI themselves.

In addition, Captain Furarch's unfortunate attack on the Grigyt shuttle has led to some scientific curiosity. They recovered fragments of laser weaponry and have begun the lengthy process of reverse engineering the shattered fragments in hopes of reproducing their own laser weaponry.

Subject: Re: **Galactic News** Fri Oct 19, 2012 3:46 pm

The Grigyt has had the primary cannon and outer plating cannibalized to make a new capital ship and refashion the husk into a trade station. This is in the hopes that the Pit can obtain trade relations and establish a stock market amongst the stars. The new capital ship named Acyr, as well as a heavy cruiser called Cataygr, will become the first Tyrgac navy ships to graze the stars. A new style of fighter has been added to complement the military capabilities of the navy as well as assist in protecting the home planet from smaller threats.

The Pit has begun looking into automated point defense technology. Hoping to use the culmination of scanners, beam weapons, and AI, this would be the first technological creation by the Pit since its debut as a space empire.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

After the catastrophe with the Amundi attack of ten Tyrgac soldiers, the Pit has taken their revenge and is in an indefinite ceasefire. The expectation for further mishaps has been declared as an eye for an eye. Taking mass into account, this will usually mean several Amundi per Tyrgac.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Saedrin Directive has set up a lucrative deal with the Pit which involves beam tech for FTL jump-drives and Tridyntium plates for sensor technology. The first of the weapons have been seen mounted on some of the smaller ships, but the outcome is not expected to be very powerful considering the fairly incompatible power conversion techniques used. Their diplomacy has not gone beyond a simple technological exchange, but there is still an opening for future arrangements beyond those already stated.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Pit have agreed to start a diplomatic tie with the Zaedrax in hopes that their similar worlds can eventually coincide as one. While the Pit as refused to intermingle the races, they will allow an embassy to be placed on their world as well as their own members on the Zaedrax home planet, Bihbulba. There was also an agreement of AI OS from the Zaedrax in return for tridine metal. In addition to that exchange, the proper processes for handling tridine and making it into Tridyntium plating has been sold in exchange for an one time use of the slip-space to move the Grigyt as well as full access to particle shielding technology.

The unknown attacker on the Grigyt has been declared the first official terrorist against the Pit.

Quote :: Last of the Qetësi Deceased / New Shielding Prototypes

Though the Qetësi have shared the information on a better shielding system, an unknown attacker destroyed a shuttle carrying the last of the people. Efforts are being made to find out who shot down the shuttle carrying thirty Qetësi and five Saerid transport units. This unfortunate end to the people has been brought forth to the League of Stars, who still have the Qetësi as a empire holding a seat in the League.

New shielding prototypes have been uncovered by Saerid units but more research will unravel certain flaws in the days to come.

Amundish research teams have decided to abandon the research of beam weaponry, archiving their findings and stowing their reconstructed pieces in a vault beneath the surface of Balashot. Their focus has instead turned to rocketry, missiles, and railguns.

As of this time, the Amundi Federation has no rocketry to speak of.

The Amundi have also successfully built a new ship for their navy. They've classified it as a "super-transport". It's twice as large as most capital ships, but most of it is empty space meant for large-scale resource exchanges.

After a long-range communication between Supreme Ambassador Verunas Nossa, and Leader Derkarsh, the Amundi and Zaedrax have come to some political agreements.

They have both agreed to a defensive pact, a free trade act, and a free migration act.

Subject: Re: **Galactic News** Wed Oct 24, 2012 11:55 am

Noticeable energy fluctuations and unusual anomalies can be detected from Zaedrax controlled sectors, all as a result of focus on Zaedrax navigation technology.

The Zaedrax have also agreed upon a joint Zaedrax Tetrabune - Amundi Federation Space station, designed for diplomacy and political negotiations, and will be using Zaedrax interior technology to accommodate all varieties of races. Designs have been agreed upon, and construction is under way.

A render of the station

Spoiler:

Trade based negotiations were attempted with the UCUS, but no agreement could be settled upon. Diplomatic discussions are still being carried out however.

More reports of small arms fire have been heard from certain Zaedrax colonies, and reports of destroyed civilian vessels have been spreading. Military ships are on higher alert than often, but Zaedrax representatives have yet to release any official statements. Following the same story, military surveys have reported a missing ZTN vessel; searches are underway.

{ Several major corporations and firms around the galaxy have shifted away from their standard business patterns and are placing substantial amounts of economic funding and manpower into an unknown corporate entity for weapons research.

{ Imperical Industries, a super-corporation with enormous manufacturing and industrial capabilities, have begun construction of a large battlecruiser of unknown design. The contractor(s) remain unknown.

{ An immediate investigation by local militia forces was formed at research colony "New Abal" of Bal II today, when several of the colony's top-tier scientists and physicists mysteriously vanished during an expedition to one of the planet's nearby cave systems.

{ A multitude of planetary restoration and eco groups have suddenly stood up and are placing heavy criticism down on the the Republic of Zeleniy. Stating that their inability to restore social order and contain the looting makes it clear that they are unfit for the task.

{ Imperical Industries commenced construction of an additional two crafts of unknown design. Surely, the anonymous contractor(s) must be putting vast amounts of credits and resources into the projects. ( Consortium economy and resources are now strained. )

{ Funding continues to flow into the weapons research program initiated by the unknown corporate entity. The program's focus seems to be direct-energy weaponry and missile technology.
