The Alderanian international space station has opened to any other nations spaceships. It is armed with heavy energy weaponry to fend off attackers. The nations that helped build it are thanked.

Alderania has built several launch pads and has several ion-engine space craft. It has it's own military spacestation but that is not open to all nations.

We invite you to the Alderanian international spacestation. All are welcomed to it. Here we have built a gravity generator to keep wiegthlesness outside and in the docking bay.

The Federation of Telorna is interested in this space station of yours. I am coming there with a Telorna SpaceShip and launched from a IASF launchpad. Through new technology we'll be at your space station in 15 minutes.

" Dr. Corleon is the spaceship Telorna 1 ready?"

"Sir it is you may enter."

::Walks into docking bay. Enters elevator and enters shuttle. Sits down and puts on belts and puts on helmet::

"Countdown... start! 10, 9 ,8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 BLAST OFF!!!!!"

::Shuttle launches into space. Enters orbit of Earth and leaves orbit::

"Sir the Alderanian Internation Space Station is right there"

::points to the station::

" Ok let's head to the AISS immeditaley"

"Sir we are ready to land in the docking bay of the station"

"Yes land"

:: spaceship lands on dockingbay::

::Prime Minister Daniels leaves and floats to the entrance and enters:

I wonder where the leader of Aldernia is? I am only going to be here for a few minutes for some negotiations.

The United States of Ryanoceros Land will be happy to visit your space staition. We are currently working on a Sub-Space Warp Drive for our fleet of space ships. Our Fleet should be ready for travel by early next week. Please inform your station that we shall arrive next Thursday with a delagation of Ryanastronauts.

I must leave for Telorna. I have business to attend.

In regards to the USSW's placement of arms and troops in space.
It is clear the world is united shoulder to shoulder that the United Socialist States ofWhittier must 1. Renounce its illegal claim to soveriegnty over any part of the moon and all other celestial bodies.
2. The USSW must withdraw any and all soldiers it has from the moon.
3. It appears to be the determination of this international body that the USSW dismantle its on the moon or convert them to more peaceful purposes.
4. It is further demanded that the USSW open its lunar facilities to inspections and other activities by members of this alliance and the UN.
5. The United States of the South Pacific unilaterally adds the demand that USSW's Pandora's Box stop targeting the members of this alliance. The USP has proof positive that Pandora's Box sat is targeting not only our country but Selah, Preatoria, and other nations on earth as well. The fact that the USSW continues to point Pandora's Box at these countries proves that its claims to peaceful intentions are nothing but naked lies.
6. Since it has been determined that the moon shall have its own independent government, the USP, which is now beginning a defensive military buildup, has decided to unilaterally send soldiers to the moon to stop the USSW dead in their tracks. The USP makes absolutely no soveriegnty claims to the moon. Are soldiers are going there to enforce the territorial integrity of the Republic of the Moon.
Our troops will act as deterrent to prevent the USSW from attacking or threatening any nation in this alliance or any of their various citizens.
We realize you have concerns about putting troops on the moon. We are not doing this lightly. The actions of the evil regime in Whittier cast a cold dark shadow over our space endeavor which was started with the intent to promote peace, international cooperation, and free trade.
However, while the members of this organization prepared for peaceful uses of the moon and space, the USSW continues to put weapons and troops into space. It continues to upgrade its lunar fortress which presents a threat not only colonists and minors but also to the nations and cities on planet earth.
We will not start hostilities. We will only use our lunar deployed troops to isolate and contain the USSW's presence on the moon.

USP:We Invite you to use the military station we have to attack the moon.

To Ryanoceros Land:We have told them of your arrival and will have our dicta-president up at the station for the arrival. He will be up thier for one week.

We are coming to visit aswell, we are bringing:
1 Nova Dreadnought
1 Omega Destroyer
1 Frieghter
Do not be alarmed if you detect an energy spike when we enter the area, as we have developed another method of moving great distances quickly in space.

The United Socialist States of Whittier would inform the USP and its so called allies that we are members of a powerful alliance, the Warsaw Pact.
Therefore if you were to attack us we'd need only call on the assistance of our allies.
Our colony was established before there was a so called Republic of the Moon and hence the Republic of the Moon has no jurisdiction over our colony. We assert the right to use all means necessary including nuclear, to protect our colonial interests on the moon. We caution the USP and its allies not to cross the wall. Until we receive reassurances, Pandora's Box will continue to target its nukes at the USP, Praetoria, Selah, Dizlavar, Alderania, Telorna, Ryanoceros Land, Sebastian, and others with hidden agendas of invading our colony and violating our sovereign rights.
The USSW knows all about your scheme. You claim peace. But the real reason you are all in space is that you want to dominate the world and you want to turn the USSW and its lunar colony into one your puppet regimes. We may have a small army but we the nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons.
PS did I mention that we considerable connections to terrorist groups in your country. I wonder what they could find to do with a few million in US dollars or a nuke or two.
Point blank, stay on your side of the wall, and we'll stay on ours.

The tensions between the USSW and USP appear to be the result of allowing people to vote. We recently banned voting and as a result we have avoided war through the wise leadership of our Emperor.
But this great potential for war space threatens our tiny nation.
The Holy Empire of Canales offers to mediate peacetalks between the USP and the USSW to avoid a global conflagration. One of the first things we should address are mutual nonaggression agreements, dismantling of all space weapons that can't be put to peaceful use. We offer to host peace talks in Returia Palace, our capital.
If you are interested in assisting the peace process, the Holy Empire of Canales will post it as new topic so we can use the Space Program for just that.

W dont want another war so we will stay over here. Stop nuking and we stop military space activities

*Supreme Chancellor Michael of The Dominion of Magtoria has arrived unnanounced to the Alderanian station via orbital transport.

Accompanied by 5 national Magtoria Enforcers (M.E.) they briskly walk through the station together in search of the Alderanian diplomat currently in charge.*

The WARSAW PACT does not require allies to support one another if the attack is instigated by an ally. I my opinion the USSW insigated this incident by starting a military buildup rather that goto arbitration by a neutral party to settle this dispute. You should read the clauses and agreements of a pact very well before you claim your allies will support you.

As a proud UN Member, the Principality of Getta is opposed to the Warsaw Pact and any nation that uses space as a weapon for tyranny, such as Alderanai.

All trade to Alderania and all Warsaw Pact Members shall be boycotted from this day forth.

We hope that other UN Nations will see this and agree on a Resolution to take action in the matter.


The Getta Council
Principality of Getta

The United Socialist States of Whittier will accept the Holy Empire of Canales' peace mediation offer only if our imperialist enemies in the United States of the South Pacific also agree. But we want a weapons free bumper zone around our colony on the moon first. We are highly skeptical of the USSP's goals but under pressure from our allies we are willing to discuss the issue. Oh yeah, we want promises from all space faring nations that they will not attack the USSW while talks are ongoing. If they do it will prove their bad faith and evil intentions.
We accept the offer of mediation but good luck getting those evil imperialists to accept.
And since Alderania seems willing to respect our soveriegnty over our lunar colony, we are willing to sign a nonaggression pact with them. As of today, Pandora's Box no longer Alderania or any of its space outposts.
We would like them to be neutral also.

As the United Nations delegate for the nations upon the moon, it is my duty to demand that all parties involved renounce their military claims immediately and withdraw their soldiers. You will have twelve hours to comply, after which point we and our gathered allies will take it upon ourselves to remove you from the lunar surface, as your continued presence is an act of aggression and thus viewed as an act of war.

You have this chance. I strongly suggest you take it; our soldiers, unlike yours, have been training on the moon in preparation that this day would inevitably come. And I do assure you we've got the forces to remove you ourselves, not to mention what the help of other nations like Drakkenholt and Terrex will do in accelerating such.. removal.

Any orbital facilities assisting in planting military bases or participating in staging an assault on the lunar surface are ordered to immediately stand down, or they will also be attacked.

Really, we don't like war. But if you push us, we shove back.

Jonathan Moriarty
Vice Executive

As leader of the great Empire of Terrex, as well as a citizen of The Moon in question, I suggest that any an all of you that wish to INVADE our home CEASE AND DECIST.

I go along with the statement of our UN Delegate, Mr. Moriarty of Crystal Palais, and would like to warn you that if you continue to believe that you can put any sort of military force upon our home, wherever, whenever, and however you wish, then you are sorely mistaken. We -will- protect ourselves, and remove you from our home, if th need arises. It is true that we do not like war, and can be rather peaceful. However, screw with where we live, and we -will- mobilize our forces.

To keep this.. short. Back off. We do not want to start a war. Nor do we want to dirty our home by blowing parts of it up. If you want to come here, then send a proper delegation, and speak with us, first. You can do it like everyone else does it, you're big boys, we're sure. We would be happy to welcome you to our home on our terms. Hell, even my nation has a wealth of gambling resources for you and yours to come experience, should you wish to visit. So please, I beg you to reconsider your foolish actions, and stay away unless you want to suffer our.. retribution.

As of 0100 hours GMT, the patrols around the lunar base that Whittier has established have quite suddenly stopped; they have been replaced by a very large number of PW-104b "Schabe" modified police enforcer units, facing the base rather than patrolling.

The only thing that has been said by Vice Executive Jonathan Moriarty, who is currently acting as mediator for this possible conflict by appointment from Executive Michael Paladin, is the following: "While your time limit has now expired, we are willing to extend it in good faith that you are presently undergoing preparations for evacuation. You have twenty four hours to comply and if we see no signs of evacuation taking place at that time, we will raze this base. Good day."

Technical note: PW-104b "Schabe" enforcer units are equipped with four 20mm miniguns, lightly armored due to weak repulsorlift engines, but in a low gravity environment are very highly maneuverable and versatile. Often used for police work, they are capable of movement outside of domed environments as they are vacuum-hardened and carry 144 man-hours of oxygen, enough for their two man crews to stay in the field for three days if neccessary.

Thus far, the vast majority of Crystal Palais' citizens and that of neighboring nations have been in favor of removal of this base, as well as any other unauthorized military presence; it has long been their standing point that there should be no military presence on the moon in colonies of existing nations, aside from defensive and/or training.

The Holy Empire of Canales wishes to ask Crystal Palais in exercising due restraint on the issue of the Whittier colony. We thank them for their pateince thus far. The Holy Empire of Canales has bee mediating this issue and the leaders of both Whittier and the South Pacific are in Canales discussing a resolution to this issue at Rhetoria Palace. We invite Crystal Palais to participate in the talks which do include removal of all military forces from the moon. However, its not just the moon at stake, both countries have huge stockpiles and there are legitimate fears that that USSW would unleash its entire nuclear arsenal on the earth as well as the moon if anyone were to attack them.
As a fellow UN member I ask Crystal Palais to exercise restraint and to come to Rhetoria Palace to Participate in peace talks aimed at creating a nonaggression pact and removing foreign military forces from the moon. But please be patient, this process is going to take more than 24 hours.

Mr. Shain
Ambassador
Holy Empire of Canales

However, its not just the moon at stake, both countries have huge stockpiles and there are legitimate fears that that USSW would unleash its entire nuclear arsenal on the earth as well as the moon if anyone were to attack them.

If this were to happen, we would retaliate with neccessary weapondry; as well, due to firing rockets at the moon having inherent difficulties, our SDI system is optimized in the event that this might happen. We'd be able to stop the vast majority of missiles ourselves, if not all of them. ... Hopefully.

But please be patient, this process is going to take more than 24 hours.

It shouldn't take that long for them to say they're removing their forces. If it does, then obviously they're stalling and entrenching. This is not acceptable and we will stay with our 24 hour deadline for them to begin withdrawl from the moon.

We warned repeatedly that military bases on the moon would not be tolerated; we were ignored. Ignorance has its price.

The United States of the South Pacific stands behind Crystal Palace's demand for the removal military forces from the moon. Our soldiers are there not as invaders but to prevent the USSW from attacking other nations. We are not claiming any soveriegnty over any part of the moon. Our troops are their to help our friends and we have repeatedly stated that we would allow our troops to be placed under the command of nonPacifican ally governments. While the USSP took the initiative and deployed troops to the moon to block further USSW aggression, if Crystal Palace wants to be active in deterring USSW aggression and the USSW's threat to freedom on both worlds, we offer them command of Pacifican troops stationed on the moon, who will need, as they have not had time to train in the lunar environment as our friends at the Crystal Palace have pointed out. The United States of the South Pacific stands ready to work with the nations of the moon in removing the Whittier menace.
For this reason we are negotiating with the Whittier. However, threats will only make matters worse and undue all the breakthroughs we have made which, include a nonaggression treaty between the United Socialist States of Whittier and the United States of the South Pacific and the lunar nations, removal of all missiles on the moon that were put there by Whittier, removal of all land mines outsides the perimeter of Whittiers lunar colony which we admit putting there. Further we have agreed to send our colodences and compensation to the families of lunar residents who have been accidentally killed by these mines. We working on removing troops and holding a referendum for the inhabitants of Whittier's lunar colony on whether they want to be independent or remain part of Whittier.
Basically, you help us out on this diplomacy by cooling down your rhetoric, and we'll help you.

The United Socialist States of Whittier will not give end to blackmail and intimidation issueing from terrorist states who support the evil Pacifican imperialists.
We have a colony but no base. The colony was established in area which was not occupied or claimed by anyone else at the time. In earlier posting Crystal Palace imperialists said they would recognize claims of other nations to parts of the moon that weren't occupied. But now that we have built our colony successfully and have developed a technology for preventing the constant rain of meteors from causing much damage, losing thousands of people in the process, Crystal Palace now wants to claim our colony, built on the blood and sweat of Whittierites, for its own. This shows the imperial hypocrisy of Crystal Palace and other South Pacific allies.
New Whittier is a legitimate part of the USSW and any attempts to seperate from USSW are illegal acts of terror.
By the way, we are watching Crystal Palace and Pacifican forces through our laser sights. We warn against acting on your threat of aggression.

We have submitted a resolution at the UN dealing the standoff between the USSW and the USSP and their troops on the moon. Please look at it and give it your support. We have until Jan 6 to get a quorom for it. This resolution will significantly censor the USSW and the USP for their actions on the moon and in space.
By the way it is called the New Whittier Resolution because it calls for a referendum for the people of the USSW's colony to determine their own fate.

Chancellor Shawn J. Wenger of the Dominion of Metallica appears for a live broadcast.

"I would like it to be known that Metallica supports the United States of the South Pacific in their attempts to remove the USSW from the Moon, or at least their military forces and end their soveirgn claim over any celestial body. As USSW's actions were the main reason for Metallica's interest in what is going on in space and on the Moon, we applaud the USSP for its actions. What ever assistance we can offer you is available, though hopefully with the help of Canales, things can be resolved peacefully."

What is this nonsense about a "base". We have a colony and not a base. Our forces are there to protect our colony and its residents.
As for your posts, first of we are monitering your troop movements. It is unfortunate that you have sided with the evil capitalists in the Pacific.
Second, you contradict yourself. You say an in an earlier post that you and the other nations of the moon recognize the claims anyone made to parts of the moon. We have claimed only 100,000 sq miles. That is all we want. But now you are saying you want everyone off the moon.
The area where we placed our colony was unoccuppied and unclaimed. For you to try to claim this same land after we already claimed is totally illegally.
Second of all, our missiles and lasers are there to protect our country from the imperialist Pacificans whom you have allied with.
I think you should finally be aware, that we do not give into black mail or terrorist threats.
We have lodged a complaint with the mediator Holy Empire of Canales accusing you of trying to start a war.
Considering your war talk and the progress of talks at Retoria Palace, I would say you are losing the public relations battle.

Amusing how you claim it is not a military facility, and then threaten us.

I'll address this point by point.

Our troops are within sight range - easily viewed. Fine by us. You shoot at us, we annihilate you. We have military superiority on our own, from our intel's information. We've sided with no one but ourselves. Military bases will not be permitted, and so far as we've seen your base has a military force equipped well beyond self defense. Disarm or leave. Preferably both.

We DO recognize claims made by colonies on the moon, provided you go through the proper channels. So far, we've had all of one non-sovereign colony do so, and that was a colony of The Federation of Autonomous City-states. Proper channels: Send us a telegram, we run it by the other lunar colonies. If there are no objections within 24 hours, your base is fine. As it stands, we did query, and we've received a majority of objections to your presence, as well as suggestions to meet your base with varying amounts of force. Therion was especially vocal about this. And your area of 250 by 400 miles? That's a bit large for a simple colony.

As we are a sovereign nation, we are no terrorist state; our use of force is justified and backed by 65 million of our people. We use no terrorist tactics. We don't use blackmail. We make no empty or vague threats; ours are to the point with very simple ways to circumvent such danger.

All land on the moon that isn't claimed by an existing nation or authorized colony is in a protectorate; we aren't claiming it for ourselves, but we are denying your right to it. As for the base itself, we do not want it. Take all your pieces back with you; you're welcome to it. But the land you built it on cannot be allowed to be used in this way.

And incidentally, I do hope you know those missiles are going to act pretty worthlessly in an airless, low gravity environment. Lasers? Those are ridiculous, frankly, and we hardly believe you possess such technology due to the problems inherent. Granted, however, that an airless environment does circumvent overheating problems, but there are still serious issues with power consumption if they're to do any damage beside warming us up a bit.

Any talk of war that we're making is in response to your failure to meet what we have asked. You have no right to any land on the moon. You have no right to put any amount of soldiers on the moon. Frankly, you have no right to have Pandora's Box in existance in the first place, if it is anything more than a bluff.

And, incidentally, you have until 0100 GMT before we begin the assault to start showing signs of evacuation. You will notice the armed PT-08s "Uhu" crafts which are joining the PW-104b's already present. If I have to, I'll come down there personally in my SPJ-15 "Greif" and aid in the attack.

Oh, yes. And as for the talks, we are uninvolved. We don't care about your military presence elsewhere. We just want you off the moon. Who said we care about public relations? We care about the sovereign rights of the lunar nations.
