President Ralaen Stood on the balcony overlooking the city a large drink swallowed up in his fist. The city lights melted with the horizon. He mused about the changes he had brought about since taking power 27 months ago. Twenty-four new planets added to the Alliance, several new ships added to the fleet.
"Is there anything more your Excellency?" Asked Gary.
"No thank you Gary. Please ask Helen to send in Admiral Mateo as soon as She arrives."
"Very good, Sir"
Admiral Mateo marched grimly down the halls of the presidential Palace. Bearers of bad tidings were never a welcome thing. And what she had to tell the President was not good. She was surprised at how rapidly She was ushered into the Presidents office.
“Your Excellency” The Admiral snapped to attention.
President Ralaen waited until Helen had left and shut the door. He turned slowly and crossed the room.
“ Admiral.” He paused. “Please sit down.”
Without waiting Ralaen started speaking.
“At first glance Admiral I would think we have a problem.”
Admiral Mateo sat into the nearest chair no expression on her face. But the thoughts in her mind struggling to gain their equilibrium a little off balance at the swift pace the meeting was going. Things simply were not done this way normally.
“I have seen the early reports on 1st Thraen task force they acquitted themselves well. However losing one ship for every one of the UF’ers is no way to run a fleet action.”
“No sir it is not.” Replied the Admiral.
“ We need to find answers to this regenerating armor”
“Yes, Sir. Your Excellency I have more bad news to report.” She grimily plowed on.
“The surviving ships of the task force made landfall and repairs at the Exiles of Kor”s planet Priintlot I sir. Then the United Florals followed them in and the rest of the task force was destroyed”
“The Exiles of Kor are not at war with the Florals?” asked the President.
“Apparently not Sir they must have recently made an agreement with them that we were unaware of.”
“Do we have anything to hit back with admiral?”
“ I’m afraid not sir we are stretched thin as it is we are still at war with the Toltayans and we have more threats to the west and we still have not heard from the Prince Carlton Fleet.”
President Ralaen walked back to the edge of the balcony hands clasped behind his back. Looking out over the city once again. ‘Damn. He thought one step forward two backward. The Floral attacks were just being suppressed.”
He stared for a moment longer. Turning He eased back into the room.
“Admiral pull as many ships together as you can make sure the Florals can’t get into our home systems and protect our remote miners. I am going to have a word with the Exiles. And see if we can’t persuade them to at least break their treaties with the Florals.”
“Sir.” The Admiral rose to her feet. “The Fleet understands.”
John Ralaen reached for his 8th wife hugging her to him She reached down to him holding him tight.
“I think we can make it right John you’ll see”
“ Sure hope so I would hate to fire you Sandra.”
“Busy tonight?” She asked.
The President sighed.
“No rest for the wicked.”
“And the righteous don’t need none” She held his head to her chest.

HEY,

Nice read, and I'm very pleased to hear that my old Corelian Alliance is still alive and doing really good.....

Wormhole technology and Interstellar Politics


In the year 2414.0 SGT. (Standard Galatic time) Several Interstellar governments had or were striving to obtain stellar technology I.E. Wormhole openers, closers, world makers, etc. It soon became apparent that a new blance of power was rapidly spreading across the cosmos. Havenot's resented the Have's. Old border disputes soon erupted in fresh bickering.

[AMF]

Oh uh. I haven't read this turn's results yet...

[Gozra]

When in the course of human events it becomes apparent that an alien race seeks to overwhelm and invade by means it deems peaceful but places Humankind in an untenable position from which it has no viable recourse. It becomes imperative that a sensible solution be reached. However, when no reasonable accommodation can be reached then actions must be taken to restore equilibrium. Failing that the security of the Corelian Alliance of Independent people must be establish with permanence and conviction.
Therefore it is with a sad heart but a firm devotion to duty that I ask the Corelian Assembly to enact Measure AR-176a. This will create 500 more starships specifically designed to meet the Kor menace to our security. Allow local commanders autonomy to insure Alliance security by any means necessary. Increase the black ops budget by 14% over inflation. And create the Alien Space Security Board, which will oversee future Alien affaires. The board will be lead by Admiral Carlton, Hero of Yue, and Prince of the Royal blood.
Let me say that this crises will Mark not only the Corelian Alliance But The galaxy, as we know it. Should we be falter in our duty to civilized people everywhere the Galaxy will condemn us. We stand as a Beacon of hope that all races can live in harmony together. Within our borders 6 races stand as one. We will not back down from what is right. We will continue to take in the oppressed and be a haven for peace and security. Let us all stand together against the misguided rulers of Kor and show them the right way to treat others not of their own kind. Therefore we ask the assembly by voice vote to accept Measure AR-176a and ENSURE OUR SECURITY!

Speech Made by President Ralen during the Kor Crises of 2414.0 GST

[AMF]

The continuing unreasonable demands of the Corelians have, we learned just recently, been supplemented by plans to attack us. We have learned from multiple sources that a Corelian task force has been enroute to the southern sectors of KorSpace with the intention to attack the Faithful directly. Furthermore, the Corelians have, last month, again colonized a world that the Faithful created. With this revelation of hostile intent, these further encroachments, and the continuing escalating demands of the Corelians, the Secular government of KorSpace has determined that relations with the Corelians shall be suspended for the time being.

<a few weeks later:>

It is with regret that we have learned that our people have been forced to defend themselves against Corelian forces in Aragor and Printlott systems. After suspension of hostilities, our forces had been set on Patrol Status Mace, with weapons-ready and all fighters on active combat space patrol in case the Corelians decided to escalate hostilities. Now, on at least ten occasions, the Corelians have attacked our forces on patrol. In most of these cases, the forces of the Faithful have triumphed. In some of them, damage has unfortunately been done to the populations of some Corelian military outposts. This is regretable.

In order to avoid catastrophic loss of civilian life, we have modifed Patrol Status Mace so that our forces shall avoid the Corelian homeworld in Aragor. The Secular government of KorSpace has no desire to inflict any damage on non-combatants, even infidels.

We request that the Corelian forces stand down in Printlott and Aragor (except for their homeworld there) so that further incidents may be avoided. We look forward to a cession of hostilities and a return to normalcy. Such would require the ceding of all Corelian outposts in the Printlott system (which are former colonies of the plant people whom the Corelians conquered) to the Faithful. We further require that , with the exception of the Corelian homeworld in Aragor, the outposts in Aragor be ceded to the Faithful and that the Corelian fleet in the south be returned to its bases and not enter KorSpace.


The Secular Government of the Exiles of Kor

[Gozra]

It was the worse cabinet meeting I ever held. We were all shocked and stunned. The Kor had broken the trade treaty and gone to war with us. We had depended on their government's integrity and had not prepared accordingly. I could see the shock and anger on the faces of the cabinet members as we watched the newscast come in from the frontier. The litany of death and destruction went on and on. The sudden shock of seeing the name of the ship that one of my daughter's served on listed as destroyed instantly threaded through my whole body. My assistant put her hand on my shoulder at that moment I just felt numb. The bad news went on and on. Colonies gone, millions dead, dozens of proud ships destroyed. Where had we gone wrong? We were looking forward to the commission that the Sonne had offered as a way out of this crisis.
The Kor had called us "Mad"again and again but we had dismissed it as rhetoric and now we had come to the realization that they were referring to themselves.
I had the main screen turned off and the silence was filled with grief and anger. I looked up and all were looking at their personal screens in front of them with expressions ranging from neutral to anger, shock and grief. More than one of us had Daughters and Sons in the Fleet.
I hardly remember what I said so the following is transcribed from the meeting record.

President Ralen Stood leaning forward both fist leaning on the smooth polished finish of the Conference table. He cleared his throat
"Well, I never thought the Kor would choose war over diplomacy but choose it they did. At this point I don't know if it would do any good to pursue a Diplomatic solution or not. One thing is Clear Admiral Leary is cut off from help at the moment and we must reopen those lines again. War is a politician's failure and a soldier's nightmare. I propose that every Effort be made to defend ourselves from the Kor. We need to stand firm in the face of Kor aggression. I am implementing the Kiehl protocols and placing the Alliance under wartime conditions. I hope this situation can be resolved speedily but if not we need to be prepared for the worst. All of you have supported me in the past and we have prospered. I expect your full support now and pray that we will be guided by the almighty in the successful defense of our homes and families. My friends we will not be bullied. We will stand firm in our resolve to do what is right for our people and our Alliance. We will do what is necessary to insure our continued security. Where there is weakness we will build strength. Where there is hopelessness we will bring hope. Where there is slavery we will bring freedom. Where there is despair we will bring courage. Where there are ashes of defeat we will bring Victory."

With out another word the president stood tall and carefully looked at each and every person nodded and left the room.

[Gozra]

You have broken our treaty and attacked us. The Huge fleet approaching from the south is an exploratory fleet of seven Light cruisers. We would be thrilled if all people were as terrified, with eight or ten ships we would then be respected in all of space. We told you repeatedly that we would not fire the first shot and we have not. We pledged to submit ourselves to the Sonne Commission however, we suspend that pledge. We will now bring what ever force is necessary to defend our current holdings and will not give up one inch of territory. Your knee jerk reaction to poor intelligence reports. Is encouraging as we see how easy it is for your kind to make mistakes we will hope for the sake of your people you will limit your blunders.
We call upon our allies and any other space faring race to denounce your murder of civilian populations.



Prince Carlton Leader of the ASSB

[AMF]

The Exile government maintains that it was the Corelians who first broke our agreement by failing to relenquish, as they had pledged over a year ago, the planets they had conquered in the Priintlot systems from the Plant creatures. They compounded this by colonizing planets that we had created. Then they demanded that the entire Printtlot and Aragor systems be ceded to them. Even after this disupute reached a high pitch, they continued to colonize worlds that were not theirs, clearly intentionally. These actions, showing a clear disregard for the Faithful, were then aggravated by the discovery, from multiple sources, that the Corelians had been planning offensive actions against the Faithful for some time now. Whether approaching fleets were seven vessels, or seven hundred, does not matter to us in issues of Faithful security. Not only did we not know the size of the fleet, and hence had to assume the worst, but the Faithful possess weapons that allow even a single ship to wreak havoc upon a solar system, and we anticipate that the Corelians do as well. Hence, we cannot risk any such threat to the security of our holy shrines and temples.

The Faithful have severed relations with the Corelians until these issues above can be resolved. Our forces, upon being approached by Corelian forces, merely defended themselves. In any case, the planets that were damaged during such defense actions were clearly military outposts and not civilian ones, as reported by our unbiased Paladin pilots at the battlespaces in question.

The Faithful of Kor do not inflict harm upon others without cause, and our priests tell us that to kill an innocent is a sin. It is with extreme disbeleif that we hear that Exile forces in Aragor and Priintlot have injured civilian populations. We assure the interstellar community that a full investigation will be opened up into such allegations, and we will appoint a committee chaired by reputable members of the secular government.

In order to avoid any civilian deaths, it is our intention to have our Holy fighter wings avoid the Corelian homeworld in Aragor. They will be instructed to refrain from entering the orbit of that planet. Apart from that, they will continue their combat space patrol patterns and act to defend themselves should they need to. Their patrol formations will, of course, be a mosque level secret, and we cannot disclose them to infidels.

The agreement governing the Priintlot system must be adhered to before we can proceed to other issues. Meaning that all the plant people colonies that have been conquered by Corelian forces must be ceded to the Secular government.

We request strongly that daily and weekly prayers of the Faithful be not interrupted by the Corelian forces as they attempt to defuse the situation in Aragor.

So speaks the Secular Governemt of the Exiles, leader of the Faithful and Listener to Kor.
