*Yesterday*
GSSPAE (Green Sun Space Programs and Exploration) has launched its first satellite today. The satellite was built in Green Sun, by Green Sun, and for Green Sun. The satellite will be used to convey information from the far reaches of the galaxy without leaving Earth's orbit. Data from the far ends of the galaxy should arrive every 15 years.
*Today*
Today the new Green Sun satellite has found something remarkable. Three unidentified objects have mysteriously appeared near Jupiter and is headed to Earth at remarkable speeds. They should reach Mars by 7:00 EST and Earth by 7:30.

((bump!!))

((Bump again))

I have few questions about this one.

Do i have to be advanced in space tech? I mean do i have to have spaceships? Do i start out on another planet or have to travel to it? What kind of technology level in general do you expect? Cause my nation is MT, with a little bit of future on top (soalr energy conducting satelite that can unleash concentrated solar energy and burn everything in a 2 mile radius of the face of the earth, still in development, but yeah...)

Today at 7:35, three Alien crafts landed on Green Sun. The creatures inside came out and went to the leaders of Green Sun and had an intriguing story to tell.
Their species and their culture was dying. As far as they knew, they were the last of their kind. Details were not listed. So, wanting the galaxy to be filled with life again, the went to Earth. They have told Green Sun and the international community that any nations or factions with a fair amount of powerful tech willing to leave Earth will recive colony ships, pods, and maps of the Galaxy. Those intersted would have to contact Green Sun first, as they seem to have the most hospitable areas for them. Green Sun, who has Laser technology and a space program, will be launching its own colonization soon. They also wish everybody a Merry Christmas, as they celebrate they holiday, too, ironicly.

Bump

Bump!

The ONI Concordiat and its monitoring station picked up the enterance of their craft, and contacted the aliens as well, obtaining maps and (very limited) resources from them, barely enought to build a single interstellar colony ship.

Green Sun is going to launch their colony craft as soon as our scientists figure out how to work the maps.
(Hint-Hint)

Shangians have also detected the craft and have recieved a map from the aliens. Though we are still attempting to understand their language.

yeah
