Where we Left Off [RP TITAN]

[Ivan2006]

Okay, so, do we (re-)start now?

[ACH0225]

Yep.

The Trials have officially begun in the Strigiforme Empire. A new Leader is being selected from the millions of candidates.

[Error]

Production runs have begun on two new Valereia-class battlecarriers, with the class leading ship now assigned to active service.

//Also, I assume we finished up the galactic games some time ago?

Ambition studios, the creators of the popular Galactic Warfare and Desolation, released their long-awaited Galactic Warfare II: Stellar Flight earlier today. Avid gamers have been standing in line for hours outside game stores to get their hands on the MMO spaceship simulator. The official description is as follows, taken from the game's website:

Galactic Warfare II: As close to war as you can get without dying.

The game is currently only released within the Zuguthian Empire, but there are unconfirmed rumors about upcoming releases to other factions.

With MeteoTech Shipyards now operating under the Novan Commonwealth, it has begun designing some ships using Novan technology previously unavailable to them.
In turn, it is expected that Novan shipyards will soon incorporate psionic systems into their designs.
The MQR fleet is also planning to decomission the last of their old Sawfish-class Cruisers and Mako-class Corvettes and exchange them with the newer Major-class and Minor-class, which essentially fulfill the same role, but are more advanced and offer better accelleration and maneuverability, which are essential for MQR battle tactics.

Last night, several raids were conducted by third fleet forces against various privateer groups near the border of the expanses.
Recovered materials are being worked into production lines for reprocessing while ships are being hauled to breaking yards. The boost in resources is projected to stimulate the economy back to normal levels during the construction of the cruise liners.

The Solar Stratocracy hereby requests an alliance between the following factions:
The Solar Stratocracy
The Novan Commonwealth
The Zuguthian Empire

the main focus of the alliance is to further scientific advances in several fields.

[ACH0225]

The Strigiforme have begun construction on a new battlefleet, composed of 1 Yyliik dreadnought, 3 Vytik cruisers, and 8 Tyylkii frigates. Most will be constructed at the Vyyuth foundry, on the moon of Cuuyth

The Commonwealth is agreeable to that proposed alliance.

Much to the navy's chagrin, the newly commissioned BattleCarriers will take 2 years, 4 months to complete. Several admirals are requesting this be accelerated, but no plans for this have been set forth yet.

OOC, Given the sheer size and mass of larger ships, I don't feel years is an unreasonable construction time.

[Archduke Daynel, PhD]

The Zuguthian Empire accepts the alliance, and believes it will be the beginning of a strong cooperation.
A petition to legalize military use of wormholes is being discussed in the higher Zuguthian government.

As a vassal to the NC, the MQR welcomes the Solari, which have been staying in MQR space after the destruction of their homeworld, into this new alliance.

The Long Reach system's main hub, Pandora Orbital, is being considered for modification or expansion to fill the role of a shipyard.

A Novan official has been dispatched to the MQR capital. Valereia has been assigned to patrol Long Reach.

The MQR has been asked (politely) to keep any and all military vessels clear of Novus VI, as sensetive operations are occurring there.

[Ivan2006]

Being a vassal to the NC, as well as being aware of the importance of 'sensitive operations' not being disturbed, the MQR accept.
Also, due to recent diplomatic clashes between the NC and the Strigiforme as well as general partnership, the MQR has decided to send some of their naval officers to Novan military academies who will hold courses on appropriate tactical and strategic usage of MQR ships as well as anti-Strigiforme tactics. However, as those tactics are mostly designed around the maneuverability of MQR ships, work has already begun to draw up plans for the, while sturdier, also less maneuverable Novan ships.

The Serpentis system, the sole gain from the Strigiforme invasion of the MQR is having heavy defences built up both in orbit and on the surface. The Serpentis Defence Fleet, composed of an undisclosed number of ships, has been setting up dozens of defence installations around the system. Large compounds have been built on the surface and cordoned off, though their purpose is unknown. A large gun is being constructed on an island on the planet's equator. It will likely be able to shoot down ships in orbit.

[Ivan2006]

Some MQR politicians have suggested that the compounds on Serpentis are in fact concentration camps.
However, the secret service EIN has not been able to either confirm or deny those claims.
"Our current operational capablity in Strigiforme territory is very limited due to their xenophobia. If they were concentration camps, the only way of finding out would be with a psionic scan from orbit, and we don't exactly have the best options for stealth operations", says Harvey Who, Director of their tactical intelligence division.
