Once More, With Feeling

[Error]

The Terran Union has agreed to trade 25 older, decommissioned (reduced to half armament) frigates and cruisers to the TTI in exchange for the upgrade.

The Orion Imperium has been chased out of Sol and Alpha Centauri; they are now fleeing Terran space as the TN continues reinforcing their pursuit fleet (now up to 92 ships).

(You dun frakked up now.)

Hexalan has offered a direct and immediate deal with the Terran Union to let Hexalan handle the terrorist rebels. Operations will be carried out under TU supervision, of course, to maintain the upholding of human rights and the like.

[Error]

The Hexalan Corporation offer has been declined by the Terran Union.

The Terran Union has moved to blockade NR-Hierarchy systems where military and government contracts had previously been completed. The government has declared these NR-Hierarchy systems 'forfeit' and has given NR-Hierarchy two days to evacuate personnel and equipment.

NR-Hierarchy demands the Terran Union step down as this action is a gross violation of the corporation's rights.
\\END//

The NR-Hierarchy has mobilized their completed fleet and is preparing to move against the T.U if necessary. NR-Hierarchy has also contacted TTI and asked for support in the event of conflict.

{I feel inlined to point out you'd still lose badly if you tried to go up against the Terrans, even with part of their fleet off chasing down the Imperium.)

Hexalan once again makes an offer to assist the TU with dealing with these up-and-coming insurrectionists.

[Error]

The TU declines, again, stating they (understandably) aren't feeling overly happy with corporate entities at the moment.

TTI have responded to the NR-Hierarchy that while they cannot promise any supportive military action against the TU, they can upgrade NR ship processors to graphene for a reduced price once stable prototypes are available. In case a real conflict breaks out, TTI could also possibly provide food and medical supplies for the citizens.

Public transport lines between Earth and Technoma are in late planning stage, and hyperpulse relays are nearing completion.

The Imperial refugee fleet has called for assistance against the Terran fleet. It has also set course for the Orion Spur, to the galactic north. Makeshift militia units are being trained and equipped with stolen Terran equipment and rebellious Terran personnel.

[Vinyl]

Hexalan has approached the NR, TTI, and Imperium about their support against the TU in a potential conflict. With the NR they've also enclosed prospects for long term manufacturing contracts, with the statement "You dream it, we build it."

//Terran Union News\\
NR-Hierarchy has formally declared itself an independent entity outside of the Terran Union's control, referring to the Terran Union regarding NR-Hierarchy as 'outside its jurisdiction'. NR-Hierarchy responds that it will drop the lawsuit and complete government/military contracts with the Terran Union if its sovereignty is respected and its worlds kept under NR-Hierarchy control.

The Terrans have backed off from the NR Hierarchy, and have stated they are adopting a neutral policy towards them; however, they will be treated as their own nation, and thus, "No favouritism" will occur.

(Terrans are cool with letting folk leave, generally, if you're nonviolent about it.)

The Terran Navy has stopped chasing the Imperium, informing them that they will be left alone provided they stay clear of Union space.
