001 Ultimate PBW game

This issue goes to the very heart of the Faith of Kor. It is clear to us that much of the tension arises from the fact that our civilization is focussed on what you refer to as the bending of the fabric of space. The creation of what the infidels call Warp Lines is more akin to a form of piety for us. To bring together the universe in such a manner is one of the highest forms of Worship we engage in, and it is the purview of the Priest Caste to continue it's pursuit of the Most Perfect Land. To do so involves a constant melding of space to the wishes of Kor, as communicated to the priests through their meditations.

It is clear, though, that the Corelians are threatened by this technology. We do not understand this. But, more to the point, we are unable and certainly unwilling to forego such actions because to do so would be an insult to the Eternal that is Kor. All of this is detailed in the Book of Kor, the Kor-An. (The Exiles Ambassador hands out gilt-edged copies of the Kor-An around the room).

Now, as we all know, the Sonne people find the manipulation of space to be disturbing to them. But, that is their choice, and we do not presume to carry out any such manipulation in their areas of influence. To do so would be risking the wrath of Kor in any case, for the Sonne, though a calming influence, are not of Kor.

Ambassador Korla-Kola, of Kor

More glowing hieroglyphs form in the center of the chamber...

"The Sonne and the Followers of Kor have reached a previous agreement in which the Sonne acknowledge the religious beliefs of the Exiles, and allow their space-bending holy devices to operate within limited systems not populated by Sonne natives, as these devices create vibrations that cause acute discomfort to the Sonne physiology.

However, we have no idealogical or military opposition to the use of such devices, so long as their use remains restricted to non-Sonne inhabited systems.

Therefore Sonne propose a treaty limiting the use of such devices, and that they can be used only with the consent of the rulers of both systems in which the warp points will appear.

In addition, the Sonne are developing dampening devices that will prevent the use of such devices, and volunteer to construct these facitilies in any specific system requested. In addition, the Sonne can construct these on artifical planetary satellites. All of these can and will be done out of the desire to maintain stability in this region of the galaxy."

Hey guys: are there any openings? I'm not in front of the game right now, so I can't see, and the PBW site has been wrong before due to my negligence...

thanks,

From: The ASSB (Alien Space Security Board)
To: The Empire of the Sonne

Greetings.
We thank you for to offer of mediation. We will accept a panel of three judges headed up by the Sonne and 2 other races. We will abide by their judgments on the Issue of the Kor Occupying one of our Home world systems. We note that we were willing to allow the Kor to occupy our system in its natural state. We did object to the robotic exploitations of the minerals, organics and radioactives but were powerless to do anything about it. We allowed this state of affaires to continue, as it did not hurt us and it allowed Dissident members of the Kor seeking Freedom of Religion an outlet. We have an entire world dedicated to Kor Exiles, which are honored members of the Corelian Alliance. In fact we consult with their Elders on a regular basis regarding Kor internal politics and what it means to the Galaxy.
The Kor Empire began, with out consultation, to create planetary bodies from the asteroid field in the Agragor system. They compounded the issue when they took one of the fields that we had under our control. After Judicious study of the problem we took steps to restore the equilibrium of security within the Agragor System. Our internal peace and security will not be compromised by these religious fanatics and contend that they have no right to practice their religion against the will of others.

Prince Carlton Leader of the ASSB

The Sonne Elders flutter their petals and send waves of scintillating colors through their bodies...

"A consensus is agreed. If the Exiles accept this proposal, we in turn will accept a triumvirate of three empires to adjudicate this crisis. If the Followers of Kor will nominate one race, and the Corelian Alliance a second, and both accept, we will hear the arguments and positions of both sides and come to a decision."
