Space Empires 101 - Galactic Council

[AMF]

For years now, Thermolia and the Corporate Commonwealth have stood side by side in their stuggles against their enemies and the forces of Darkness. While the RCC never really beleived the Dei-Orphouios were as evil as Thermolia did, we both stood side by side in the struggle against the Dei-O.

During that struggle the Thermolians bore the brunt of the Dei-O assualts, billions of their people died, and the RCC hosted millions of their refugees.

In time, the Dei-O empire surrendered to the RCC, integrating their people and culture into ours.

Now, with the passage of time, the government of the RCC is composed of not only members of the RCC race, but also in large numbers, Thermolians and Dei-Orpheous people.

The peoples of the RCC feel that the time has come for even greater political and cultural integration amongst these three peoples, in a further bid for peace in the galaxy. To this end, we are contemplating a merger of the RCC, in full, with the Thermolian people.

The leadership of the RCC, having raised their people out of the muck and slime of their homeworlds and shephered them to greatness and suprmeacy and enlightenment, now feel that it is time to step aside and let the inevitable historical forces of cultural inegration take the RCC and Dei-O peoples into the future.

If the races of the Galaxy feel that this would greatly upset the balance of power and present a threat to peace and stability, we *may* reconsider. But, otherwise, the current leadership of the RCC has deemed that retirement is their preferred option. Long live The RCC, Long live Thermolia, and long live the Thermolian-RCC Union!

(OOC: I am sorely in need of cutting down on my games in order to devote more time to my proposal topic. Ceding the RCC assets to Thermolia not only makes sense from a role-playing and historical perspectiove, but also from a geo-political one. if there is *serious* pushback on this, I may reconsider, but let me know ASAP...of course, I'll continue to host the game, I just won't be playing in it)

Thanks,

Alarik
