This is for NPC interactions, and NPC planets and builds.

Not all of the NPCs are on the Diaspora map. Several other portions of space were settled during the 21st and 22nd Centuries, and in addition, there are a couple of alien races who are at least tech level 9.

The Vegans, in the Sol Sector, who are tech level 10
and the Droyne, who have a couple of worlds (whose exact location none of you know) who are at least tech level 9.

for those familiar with Traveller, the RPG, you will recognize them. If not, look them up by going to Traveller Roleplaying game on Wikipedia.

New Shiron
New Shiron fact book
Background
New Shiron was founded by non governmental organization founded and supported by American, Canadian, Israeli, Japanese and Australian universities, and promoted the immigration of the increasing numbers of people displaced by climatic shakeups of the 21st Century on Earth. However, most of the settlers were from the same nations that were home to the universities involved, and they included a very high percentage of college and trade school graduates. New Shiron was also responsible for the successful evacuation of the Antarctic stations as the situation on Earth worsened.

During the early days of settlement a constitution was drawn up creating a Royal Family and particularly large donations of money enabled people to purchase writs of nobility. Thus the Constitutional Monarchy of New Shiron was established and has continued since.

Because of this well educated population, and the considerable capital available at the time the colony was founded, New Shiron managed to retain interstellar capability even after Earth collapsed and reached Tech Level 11 before most nations in the Diaspora managed to reach Tech Level 9.

The people of New Shiron call themselves Shironi.

Exeter Star System (double star system K3/M9)
Primary World : Galveston Bay
A medium sized planet with a diameter of 11,200 km, with a standard atmosphere, and is 90% water, with the land masses consisting of small, medium and large islands. Surface gravity is .96 and it has a 27 hour day and 338 day year, making it a very earth like world. Galveston Bay has 3 moons (Redfish, Pelican, and Tiki)
Other planets
Orbiting Exeter 1 (K3) in orbital order are Matagorda (a gas giant) with 3 moons, Galveston Bay (the main world), Alpine (a Mars type world), an asteroid belt, and Kilauea, a gas giant with 3 moons, Exeter 2 (M9) a very small star, Oahu (Mars type world), another asteroid belt, Mauna Loa, a gas giant with 3 moons, and Samoa, a gas giant with 3 moons.

Background: Galveston Bay was initially settled by settlers from coastal Texas that were displaced by coastal flooding caused by global warning and was one of the earliest colonies. More settlers from American and Australian Oceania followed as sea levels rose on Earth, as well as practically the entirety of Micronesia and much of Polynesia.

Galveston Bay is famous throughout the Diaspora for its BBQ, a blending of Texas and Polynesian traditions. The capital city is New Galveston. Locals refer to themselves as Bayites.

Iris/New Iris Tech level 7
http://www.utzig.com/cgi-bin/iai/sys...spora&Hex=1513
founded by dissident Mormons who believe and practice polygamy. Tech level 7 nations, no starport, but small starships and small craft can land at one of the various airports on the planet. Has an army but no space force. Army consists of 10 defense battalions

Messeir/Messier Tech 9
http://www.utzig.com/cgi-bin/iai/sys...spora&Hex=1111
Founded by a group of French Canadian farmers as the situation on Earth fell apart. Has just reached tech 9 and has built a starport, military shipyard and has 1 missile boat squadron, 1 fighter squadron, 1 interface squadron and a few civilian transports.

Shannaii/Miranda
http://www.utzig.com/cgi-bin/iai/sys...spora&Hex=1814
A failed colony world, a few dozen scientists from New Shiron are studying exactly what caused the 80 million inhabitants to die off. A large number (tens of thousands) of bodies discovered (the ones that hadn’t deteriorated) died of an unknown illness. Landings are not recommended at this time. Another problem is that the world has different amino acids then most other settled planets, which makes settlement and growing crops difficult even before catastrophe struck.

Dryden/Dryden2 Tech 9
http://www.utzig.com/cgi-bin/iai/sys...spora&Hex=1818
This world, settled by immigrants from other colony worlds, is a bucolic paradise of beaches, islands, forests and resorts. Many of the very rich from all over the Sector like to visit here.
Military: 2 Missile boat squadrons, 4 fighter squadrons, 2 interface squadrons, 20 defense battalions plus a large number of civilian merchant ships for its size

St James/St Marks
http://www.utzig.com/cgi-bin/iai/sys...spora&Hex=1521
has amino acids opposite of Earth based life, and has not been deemed worth settling as of yet. New Shiron had a base here until 5 years ago, but has abandoned the world. The Pricecutter Company (based in New Shiron) has a base here however, and uses the world as a stopover point for its fleet of cargo ships. Population is 40,000, clustered in a small town near the Equator. Warships from New Shiron frequently stop here to refuel and take shore leave as well.

systems previously occupied by Kordo and the Orbis System will be added to the list as time permits but it will be soon

2300 NPC news
Parliament in New Shiron continues to argue for further withdrawal from its role as peacekeepers for the Diaspora. However, substantial numbers of M.Ps and Senators point out that a continued role in interstellar affairs is needed to ensure the safety of New Shiron trade.

In other news, New Shiron announces that it will not intervene in wars fought by its neighbors UNLESS nuclear weapons or deadfall/kinetic energy weapons are used against population centers located on primary worlds.

Because of this well educated population, and the considerable capital available at the time the colony was founded, New Shiron managed to retain interstellar capability even after Earth collapsed and reached Tech Level 11 before most nations in the Diaspora managed to reach Tech Level 9.

The people of New Shiron call themselves Shironi.

Facing a shortfall of $247 billion, New Shiron is forced to place into mothballs a portion of its fleet. 8 Battleriders (Invincible, Victorious, Indomitable, Ark Royal, Glorious, Courageous, Dauntless) and 2 heavy transport (Gemini, Virgo) are mothballed, reducing their maintenance to 1%, saving $252 Billion, leaving $28 Billion available from offworld income which is made available to the colonization budget.

Colonization budget has $1.3165 Trillion, which is used to partially fund 3 factories for Auril (year 1 of 3 for each)

In 2300, suffering from a serious economic depression, New Shiron is forced to cut military expditures and a number of civilian shipyards and spaceports close, and a number of merchant ships go idle.

This also leads to significant bickering in Parliament.

Military Maintenance: $889 Billion

Actions:
New Cynthia lays claim to all 9 other star systems in the Zekhessii star cluster (Six Gun, Justabit, Bones, Jene, Hatfield, Vigo, Beerdashal, Millo, and High Point) and uses its transport fleet to place a defense battalion on each of the primary worlds or a nearby moon. ScoutRons, DesRons and the 2 New Cynthian cruisers assist in patrolling the newly claimed systems.

Builds
4 outposts are constructed, one each for Justabit, Jene (a garden world), Vigo (a garden world) and Six Gun (which is a water world and garden world). Cost is $1 Trillion (using up the entire commercial budget and a lot of the offplanet budget)

4 Planet Defense units are also constructed ($1 Trillion) to replace 4 at home that will be sent there.

8 Lift infantry divisions and 4 armored brigades are also constructed for deployment to the new outposts once completed. ($400 Billion)

1 ScoutRon is also constructed ($100 Billion)

New Cynthia gets greedy and claims 9 nearby star systems!

President Billy Bob Nakumara of the Republic of Galveston Bay sends diplomats with the assistance of New Shiron to Lesser Ribenia, Whittlefield and Orbus to discuss a joint project.

Galveston Bay suggests that the four world split the costs of building and maintaining outposts and space ports at the following systems:

Overature, Heart, Elusive, and Baraduus.

Each world would then get 25% of any earnings from those facilities, but more importantly, it would provide series of starports and refueling facilities for civilian traffic amongst those star systems. Ultimately, a Pony Express type courier ship service could also be created ensuring more rapid delivery of cargo, mail and passengers to the 4 star systems.

Notice of intent is also provided to Ato-Sara and Malkyer, and it is pointed out that similar development of the Akko and One Star systems would provide similar benefits.

Notice of intent is also provided to Ato-Sara and Malkyer, and it is pointed out that similar development of the Akko and One Star systems would provide similar benefits.

The Imperial Parliament expresses interest in the Bayite proposal, but the ruling Liberal Party announces its intent to conclude certain discussions with the Ato-Sarans before commiting to any major extra-solar projects.

The Haneastic League lays claim to the Fisher and last Exit Star Systems (OOC: the hexes above Gegaasha in Sector F)

The Sharina Technocracy thereby stakes a claim upon the following systems:

Dudenii
Weybum
Umorphutwyo
Waboni
Shaanii (no colonization until the plague stuff is figured out first)
Khanii (furthest claim, no plans to expand further "East" than Khanii)
Daazu (same as Khanii)

The Prime Ministerialship of Bazalonia, particularily Richard Menszae, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade frankly laughs at the absurd claims Made by the Sharina Technocracy. The government of Sharina is asked to "make a more appropriate claim"

In response

The Prime Ministerialship also makes it''s own set of claims

Umorphutwyo
Waboni
Shaanii
Khaani
Daazu
Coop
Grand Fork
and
Netti

Grand Technocrat Rand Veristek scoffs at the the Prime Ministerialship of Bazalonia and points out that the Sharina Technocracy's claims are smaller than those made by New Cynthia (9 claims) and Artitsa (8 claims). In addition, the Sharina Technocracy is not interested in expanding further eastwards than Khanii and Daazu. Rand Veristek also points out that Bazalonia has the ability to expand into more than a dozen star systems north of it including the following star systems- Gyration, Grand Fork, Coop, Feeble, Netti, Raasara, Hewes, Trot, Gecko, Bifirs, Gilboa, Oath, Neefi, Beep, and Guild. Therefore, Bazalonia has far greater expansion potential than the Sharina Technocracy does. In addition, Sharina will only have 6 star systems in the G Sector whereas the Bazalonian people stand to have easily 10 to 15 star systems in the G sector.

The Artitsans are heard to say: "..yeah, we'll we're bigger than you. Hush now."

Major NPC nations in the Sol Sector

The Vegans (marked in red)
Hold 32 star systems, with a population of 50 Billion, tech level 10
GDP is $1600 Trillion, defense budget is $64 Trillion, and have a large fleet. They are a peaceful and long lived race.

Reference information can be found here
http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/traveller/interstellarwars/

click on link for Vegans

other information can be found here
http://traveller.wikia.com/wiki/Vegan

(ignore anything regarding history of the Traveller universe, it doesn’t apply to this setting)

Description (from Interstellar Wars, GURPs, Steve Jackson Games)
Vegans are roughly humanoid, but they diverge strongly from Human appearance. Muan Gwi is a small world, so they are very tall – often over 7’ in height – but frail and unable to handle Terran gravity for any length of time. Their eyes are at the top of their body at the end of a long fleshy hood; strictly speaking this isn’t a “head,” in that it doesn’t contain any other sensory organs nor can it turn independently of the rest of the body. Vegans hear through a series of ear holes around their shoulders, and a mouth pierces the chest. The mouth isn’t dual purpose like a Human’s, being only for eating their vegetarian diet; breathing slits flank it on either side. Muan Gwi is quite arid, so Vegan
legs bear a superficial resemblance to those of Terran camels, especially in their broad, soft feet that can easily handle sandy ground. Vegan arms split into many tentacles just below the elbow, producing an odd “hand” that makes it difficult for a Vegan to use Human equipment and vice versa. Average Vegan lifespan is roughly 800 years.

Terrans often characterize Vegans as stoic, but this is not true. Vegans actually have a range of emotions quite similar to ours, surprisingly for such an alien race. The difference is that their emotions are much weaker than those of Humans, to the point that they are rarely swept away by what they feel. As a result, Vegans are much less ambitious and driven than Humans, and will think about things rather than act.

(from Wikipedia)
Vegan society is divided into hundreds of different tuhuir, which might be roughly translated as culture, philosophy, or tao. Each tuhuir has its own customs and traditions and its own interpretation of the proper way to live. The civil service which governs the Vegan District is a tuhuir which oversees and mediates among all the other tuhuir. Although rare, heretical and rebellious tuhuir do exist.

Archeology shows that the tuhuir were once separate societies, each associated with a particular geographic location, like countries on ancient Earth. Now, however, they are mixed together in complex patterns. Tuhuir are not hereditary; when a Vegan nears sexual maturity, he or she enters a period of search, which may last for many years. Eventually, the individual chooses a tuhuir; once made, the choice is for life. In practice, about 50% of all Vegans enter the tuhuir of their parents (the exact percentage varies with each tuhuir); about 0.5% find that they enjoy the search as a way of life and never join a tuhuir.

Artitsa, having heard whispers (possibly) of Champren's claim upon Dryden2, immediatly recognizes the sovereingty of the independant and free peoples of Dryden.

As to the ambassadors in New Cynthia.....

Foreign Minister Joris O'Gara puts forward a proposition to divide up sector I;
The Imperial Athiest Empire of Artitsa would have a sphere of influence, and control over the southern area, no further north than system 531-210.

Artitsa will then recognize New Cynthia's ownership and claims to the northern portion of the sector. Artitsa will agree to not recognize any other claims by any other nation in Cythnian space.

Artitsa also wishes a treaty of friendship be signed, including trade agreements.

The government and people of Dryden refuse to honor or even consider the claims of Champren and adamently state that they are free and independent

OOC: humm i wish i would have looked at the NPC nations a little more closely, didnt know Dryden was colonised by an NPC, how can i fix this.....

Major worlds in the Sol Sector

Alpha Centauri / Prometheus
A triple star system that includes Proxima Centauri

Settled by the European Union the first wave of offplanet settlement and home to 6 billion people as of 2300. GNP is $1,000 Trillion, tech level 12 world. Prometheus also effectively controls Earth in conjunction with Lilike/Kwantung (Chinese settled, also called Epsilon Eridani) and Sebasta/Columbia (American/Australian settled). These three nations and their clients form the Solomani Alliance.

OOC: humm i wish i would have looked at the NPC nations a little more closely, didnt know Dryden was colonised by an NPC, how can i fix this.....


ooc
IC apologize for an overzealous official or mistake on the press release would work just fine

The Bazalonians considered there reply, and did understand the Sharinan desires but in the end defense of Bazalonia was at stake and we will not waver on the Daazu claim however, we are willing to discuss this issue and see if we cannot come to a reasonable compromise.

Sharina points out that Daazu is an Exotic world, and would take enormous expense just to terraform it. That in mind, Grand Technocrat Rand Veristek makes an inquiry into what Bazalonia would be willing to give in exchange for Daazu.

OOC: Sorry running a little low on time right now, more detail later.

IC: We agree to GB's offer regarding the sharing of star system outpost maintenence costs etc.

The Kingdom of LR lays claim to the following:

-Pugout
-Tarsale
--Heart
-Mason
-One Star
-Maadura
-Veejay
-Wescap
-Mogumba
-Remington

Half of a Battlestar Group accompanies an outpost establishment taskforce to each location and establishes an outpost there (see my thread for details).

OOC:

Sorry I have no time to check if these clash or whatever, just getting my claim in. I will flesh out in ~10 hours time with IC stuff. Again sorry for the haste.

The Haneastic League mkaes further claims, claiming the Shoehorn, Wellun, Bones, and Beeridasha systems. Missile Boat squadrons accompany travel to Shoehorn, Wellun, and Beeridasha systems to keep the systems and establish outposts.

The Amestrian Republic (Ekuur System) refuses to recognize any claims in the Alurza Sector (Sector G) not agreed upon by all four established indigenous Governments (Marina, Philanchez, Bazalonia, and Samtonia). Outside Sector G the Amestrian Government refuses to recognize control of any contested or vacant systems unless legitimacy is recognized by the intergalactic community of nations or, in the event of claims limited to just one sector, all the fully established indigenous Governments in that sector.

Through its Embassy in New Shiron Amestra condemns Champren's claim to Dryden, adamantly stating that Dryden is a free and independent nation whose sovereignty should not be infringed upon. The Ambassador insists the Champren Government should retract its claims and formally apologize to Dryden.

The Prime Ministerialship of Bazalonia, particularily Richard Menszae, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade frankly laughs at the absurd claims Made by the Sharina Technocracy. The government of Sharina is asked to "make a more appropriate claim"

In response

The Prime Ministerialship also makes it''s own set of claims

Umorphutwyo
Waboni
Shaanii
Khaani
Daazu
Coop
Grand Fork
and
Netti

The Amestrian Republic is not amused and voices the need for a Sector wide conference on Government, economic development, and trade. It also voices the need for a Military Alliance to prevent Sector G from being carved up by hostile outside powers.

In addition, the Sharina Technocracy is not interested in expanding further eastwards than Khanii and Daazu.

Sharina is told pointedly to stay out of sector G. Any attempt to establish a colony on any Sector G world will be regarded as an act of war and treated as an invasion.

Amestria looks for support from Philanchez, Bazalonia, and Samtonia for its position.

The Ato-Saran Federation refuses to recognise any claims by other stellar nations to any star systems than their own. Unless those claims are backed up by tangible efforts to colonise and utilise the worlds.
The Federation finds most of the claims made so far pointless as the nations do not have the resources to effectively patrol or develop them.

The Imperial Commonwealth issues a statement locally through Parliament and galactically through its embassy on New Shiron that Malkyer will not recognize any claim to a world which is not "supported by tangible efforts at colonization, including but not limited to occupation (either military or a substantial civilian population) and significant investment of resources." The Commonwealth flatly refuses to acknowledge any claim to an entire system, arguing that "deep space is free and no man or vessel should be dictated where they may travel."

The Capitalist Republic of No Taxes, in response to claims by other nations, claims the star systems of Aliinasha, Leroy, Vidma and Nike. Scouting squadrons are being sent out towards these star systems, to be followed by ground units and colonization teams.

The Government of Champren takes claim to the following star systems.

--Dryden
--Magelina
--Remington
--Arrow Rock
--Tigo
--Nuqual
--Mogumba

Champren also takes claim to the Depot System

Champren also sends ambassadors to the Haven Government to see if the claims made to Nila can be negotiated. Moreover, Champren would like to start negotiations of a treaty of some sort.
The Darwinistic Commonality of Samtonia categorically refuses to accept the Champrenian claim to the Depot System.

The Kilani Federation announces it's claim on the Darryl system and immediately sends a task force consisting of two corvette groups, a DesRon squadron, the light cruiser KFS Anastasia and the transport KFS Katyusha, as well as a marine battalion, into the system to see about establishing an outpost on the primary world.

The government and people of Dryden refuse to honor or even consider the claims of Champren and adamently state that they are free and independent

Champren would like to thank the nations Artista, Samtonia and Amestria for pointing out the independence of Dryden and apologizes for the claim. Apparently the media took this claim as truth when a anchor for the Champren national news heard a radio broadcast on Champren taking claim to Dryden(like War of the Worlds thing, maybe, kinda, on a much smaller scale). Once again, Champren would like to apologize for the mistake.

However, concerning the claim on the Depot System, Champren would like to know the resoning behind the Samtonian governments protest. Champren also sends ambassadors to the three nations concerning the Dryden incident.

Champren also wishes the Haven government to review the claim on Nila

OOC: Do i have to go through New Shiron to send ambassadors, because of the jump thing? My main thread and history will be up soon.

However, concerning the claim on the Depot System, Champren would like to know the resoning behind the Samtonian governments protest. Champren also sends ambassadors to the three nations concerning the Dryden incident.

The Amestrian Republic also opposes Champren's claim to the Depot System.

However, concerning the claim on the Depot System, Champren would like to know the resoning behind the Samtonian governments protest. Champren also sends ambassadors to the three nations concerning the Dryden incident.


The Darwinian Commonality assures Champren that their momentary error on the subject of Dryden will affect relations in no way. As per the Depot System, it represents an extremely important strategic location that the DCS feels it would be judgementally unsound to cede to another nation. Because of its immense strategic defensive value to the Commonality, the government of the DCS is sorry to report that its aquisition is a matter of highest national importance and priority.

On that note, the Commonality announces it is extending military protection to the following systems: Princess, Hold, Gilgamesh, Chief, Yossem, Depot.
All fleets are to be considered under independent command of fleet commanders upon entry into those systems and are to proceed forthwith to positions they deem necessary for the protection of these systems for the good of the Commonality. In addition, ground forces and shuttlecraft are to be moved into the aforementioned systems to facilitate fleet movements.

EDIT- The Commonality agrees to a request by Marina to attend a diplomatic conference. DCS representatives are en-route with the fastest transportation available. [OOC: New Shironian merchant vessel...]

The Imperial Commonwealth quietly moves two squadrons of destroyers, a corvette squadron, several ALKRons, and the battlecruiser Dauntless into the Akko System. The ships are to remain in-system and show the flag while a battalion of Imperial Marines lands on Akko V, in order to garrison the planet while several outposts are constructed on various worlds throughout the system.

The atmosphere of the gas giant Akko I will be skimmed to provide hydrogen for the vessels' return trip upon completion of the outposts.

The Marinan Federation is not amused and voices the need for a Sector wide conference on Government, economic development, and trade. It also voices the need for a Military Alliance to prevent Sector G from being carved up by hostile outside powers.


The Bazalonian government agrees to attend the conference and will send ambassadors instructions and the authority to act on behalf of the Bazalonian government to acheive these instructions.

New Shiron observes the claims by Haneastic and points out that New Cynthia also claimed Bones, Beeridasha, and Millo systems, and urges Haneastic and New Cynthia to cooperate together.

New Cynthia points out that Bones is right next door to them and is unwilling to discuss that system, but might be willing to discuss the other 2.

Half of a Battlestar Group accompanies an outpost establishment taskforce to each location and establishes an outpost there (see my thread for details).

OOC:

Sorry I have no time to check if these clash or whatever, just getting my claim in. I will flesh out in ~10 hours time with IC stuff. Again sorry for the haste.

OOC: This is just in case you go through with your claim.

IC: When the Champrenian Government heard about the possible claims to the systems Mogumba and Remington, they sent a letter to Lesser Ribena basically saying that Champren respects the claim to Mogumba but rejects the claim to Remington. Champren urges Ribena to take into consideration the positions of Remington and Mogumba and the strategic importance that each has for Champren and Ribena, respectively.

An ambassador is also sent to Ribena along with the letter to see what further negotiations could be made.

Update: See Claims Thread

The Kingdom of Lesser Ribena sends an emmisary to Galveston Bay seeking better relations in light of cooperation over the Overature, Heart, Elusive, and Baraduus systems. At minimum a non-agressive pact is sought, but the emissary is ordered to seek further relations.

In return Ribena renounces its claim on One Star, the outposts and fleet being diverted to the Cheetah system, to allow Galveston Bay to establish the outpost there which it intended with Malkyer and Ato-Sara.

The Amestrian Republic announces its intent to build outposts in the Feeble, Coop, Khanii, Weybum, and Umorphutwyo Systems. The Amestrian Republic however makes clear it is not claiming those systems. The Republic also makes clear that it rejects all other claims to those systems.

OOC: In other words it’s claiming individual planets and satellites.

Grand Technocrat Rand Veristek scoffs at the Amestrian audacity.

"Are you prepared to violate the sovereignty of the Asatru Alliance? After all, you do have to pass through their sovereign territory before travelling to these star systems that you have declared intention of building the outposts in."

Sukiaida, mostly isolationalist, and finding fights over planet system's tedious, decides to lay claim to only one system, that is seperated from the Amoy system by a single area of empty space.

Sukiaida Claims:
The Daaliisa System

To show the flag there, the 2nd Fleet will be sent to the sector, to enable outposts to be created in that area next year.

I will be creating a Claims thread, and a conflict thread sometime today as time allows.

At that point, can we please keep this thread for NPC actions and interactions with the NPCs

Artitsa, having heard whispers (possibly) of Champren's claim upon Dryden2, immediatly recognizes the sovereingty of the independant and free peoples of Dryden.

As to the ambassadors in New Cynthia.....

Foreign Minister Joris O'Gara puts forward a proposition to divide up sector I;
The Imperial Athiest Empire of Artitsa would have a sphere of influence, and control over the southern area, no further north than system 531-210.

Artitsa will then recognize New Cynthia's ownership and claims to the northern portion of the sector. Artitsa will agree to not recognize any other claims by any other nation in Cythnian space.

Artitsa also wishes a treaty of friendship be signed, including trade agreements.

New Cynthia indicates that it must consider the matter, but is giving it favorable consideration.

After consultation and discussion with the Congress, President Katya Karkannenen agrees to the Mr. O'Gara's proposal.

The Sharina Technocracy contacts New Shiron with the goal of resolving the situation in Shaanii. Sharina has been informed that its expeditionary force en-route to the Khanii system has ecountered a New Shiron force that is attempting to enforce a quanatrine around the world of Miranda. It is hoped that a discussion may be able to satisfy both parties concerned.

(OOC: I'm assuming this takes place once my courier ship reaches back home and then the apporpiate diplomatic contact protocols are taken, and news arrives at New Shiron from Sharina. News should also arrive from Princess Andrea as well.)

New Shiron is asked if it can help in getting relations with it's single system neighbor of Galveston Bay, as current Sukiaidian technology makes it too far away.

The Kingdom of Lesser Ribena sends an emmisary to Galveston Bay seeking better relations in light of cooperation over the Overature, Heart, Elusive, and Baraduus systems. At minimum a non-agressive pact is sought, but the emissary is ordered to seek further relations.

In return Ribena renounces its claim on One Star, the outposts and fleet being diverted to the Cheetah system, to allow Galveston Bay to establish the outpost there which it intended with Malkyer and Ato-Sara.

The Republic of Galveston Bay is willing to indeed sign a nonaggression pact, and also proposes a partnerships with Lesser Ribenia to promote peace, safe commerce and navigational assistance among the nations in their part of space. (which is in line with its previous proposal regarding the chain of starports).

Contact via its Consulate on New Shiron is made with Sukhiaida as well to get it involved in the ideas Galveston Bay and Lesser Ribenia are discussing.

(ooc relations between the British settled Lesser Ribenia and the Polynesian/Texan/Australian settled Galveston Bay would in all likelihood be very good because of cultural similarities. Similarly one would expect good relations between New Shiron and Lesser Ribenia as they share the same government style)

Sukiaida states that it finds the ideas of promoting peace, safe commerce and navigational assistance as good ideas. Navigational Assistance is definetly needed in relation to Sukiaida, as the isolationist viewpoints of the past century has kept Sukiaida from doing much exploring, and if it were not for extremelly needed supplies, the move to Daaliisa would have never occured.

THe only question is, what does Galveston need from Sukiaida in order to promote peace and safe commerce.

umm, you can't really get there because it requires Jump 2 to reach and you are tech level 9. You can claim it, but can't do much else until you can reach it. It will take 15 years to reach (5 years per hex including starting and ending hex) using sublight ships, and you can do that, but you might be better off focusing resources, money and research to get to tech level 10 instead.

or you could pay an extra 25% cost and charter merchant shipping from Lesser Ribenia and / or Galveston Bay to carry your outposts and personnel to that system. (in other words, cost of factories and outposts increased by 25%) and an additional 50% cost for Galveston Bay merchant shipping and naval transports to carry bases to that system, and dobule maintenance cost for Galveston Bay or Lesser Ribenia merchant shipping to take actual units to that system (like fighters, missile boats, ground forces, in other words, maintenance for units you ship there is doubled).

The Akko system after the Akko Accords.

Malkyer gets Akko V and its four moons, Akko IV and its three moons, and one moon of Akko VI.

Ato-Sara gets Akko II, Akko I and its three moons, plus two moons of Akko VI, plus Akko VIII and its three moons.

The government of Bazalonia approaches New Shiron in regards to the Shaanii system, in specific the Miranda homeworld.Concerned that should a virus or other infectious agent get past containment Bazalonia would be the nation currently most at risk, as a result the Bazalonian government asks if it could either 1. Help enforce the Quarantine or 2. send some Bazalonian scientists to help with study what happened in an effort to find more information quicker about what happened on the nearby system of Shaanii.

OOC:

Assuming my courier ship gets back from Shaanii by now... If not, then consider this message sent as soon as my courier ship does arrive back home.

----------------------------

The Sharina Technocracy would very much like to assist any endeavours within the Shaanii system. We would like to make inquiries into whether Sharinan scientists and resources will be permitted to assist New Shiron's efforts within the Shaanii system. We could send a lot of resources such as money, manufactured goods, foodstuffs, and such to the research effort at Shaanii as Waboni is only three parsecs away from Shaanii.

We would also like to inquire into constructiong two outposts within the Shaanii system (specifically Shaani VI) to serve as a waypoint station and as a base of operations to coordinate all research efforts.

The Amestrian Republic opposes this. "The Shaanii system should remain a neutral zone between Sharinan Waboni and Amestrian Khanii."

The Sharinan Ambassadors are urged to agree to the original New Shiron proposal (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12311500&postcount=12). The Amestrian Republic has already agreed to the proposal (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12311519&postcount=13).

Bazalonia raises a number concerns regarding the Sharinan proposal

"Ships passing through the Shaanii system, having an acceptably low risk are one thing but a permanent outpost in the system will mean that it is only a matter of time before the inhabitants of such outposts will affected by whatever it is that plagued Miranda, counter measures or not.

We also believe that Sharinian involvement in the quarantine force will only inflame the current situation in regards to the conflict brewing between the Sharina Technocacy and Amestrian Republic, and quietly notes that it would also be slightly hypocritical as New Shiron was the one to actually propose the DMZ to welcome Sharinan war machines into the system.

We don't have a problem with the Sharinians sending aid to the process, quite frankly the more the merrier. The quicker we get this done the less likely it is for this to spread.

Sharina responds.

"We offered to construct the two outposts primarily because we truly believe it will help coordinate the research effort within the Shaanii system. As it stands, there is no dedicated research facility nor any substantial infrastructure to support such an effort. Conducting research upon starships is somewhat limiting owing to internal space limitations, whereas an outpost offers a lot more internal space for personnel, research labs, equipment, cargo bays, and so forth.

Besides, with the outposts built, the refueling, logistics, and coordination of the quanatrine fleet in addition to the research efforts will be streamlined and made more efficient. Think of it as a permanent headquarters for the task force within Shaanii, with far more benefits than within the cramped confines of a starship."

---------------------------------

OOC:

I'm proposing the outposts as something akin to a command center + major research center (both rolled into one). This would be something like a cross between a HQ unit from E20 and the Diaspora RP's Research + Development Centers (the ones you build to speed up tech advancement).

Lord Remington, the New Shiron Minister for Foreign Affairs, says the following. "My government finds that it agrees with Bazalonia in all respects as regards to Shanii. A permanent base poses an unacceptable risk as it increases the possibilities of an incident leading to breaking the quarantine.

New Shiron is willing to allow routine patrols by small starships from Sharina and Amestria in the outer system, but no further in, and certainly no permanent bases. Note that we haven't built such either."

"Very well.

However, we must ask this of New Shiron. How shall the research of the plague be handled then? We would need considerable research labs and facilities as warships aren't exactly the most optimal enviroment for research and science purposes.

Besides, how will there be an efficient system of streamlining research efforts with maintaining the quanatrine if there isn't a headquarters for such an effort?"

The New Shiron Science Ministry releases a statement reporting that small teams of scientists are used, so that greater quarantine control can be instituted and safeguarded. New Shiron warships have orders to destroy vessels that report illness aboard after a 60 day quarantine. Science vessels routinely remain in system for 60 days after picking up personnel or equiipment, and only then are allowed to proceed to jump distance.

so far, there hasn't been much, although the probability exists that is was a native virus that adapted to humans or a virus that came with the humans that mutated in the different ecology of Miranda. It is known that it wasn't bacterial.

It is also known that the entire population (99%) died within a few days, and that the survivors made it a few more months before dying of misadventure, starvation, and other causes. A few exceptions have been discovered to have lasted a number of years before dying of old age.

It is also known that the survivors were sterile when they finally died.

Increasing numbers of immigrants from older settled planets nearer to Earth flood into Dryden 2, Messiar 4 and New Iris. They bring with them considerable capital as well.

All three nations begin building military forces to provide for their defense.

have to account for that population increase somehow

for game purposes we are going to assume they have around 100 million people each otherwise the population increase would be silly (sillier actually, but what can you do with the NS increase of 3 million a day)

New Shiron
New Shiron fact book
Background
New Shiron was founded by non governmental organization founded and supported by American, Canadian, Israeli, Japanese and Australian universities, and promoted the immigration of the increasing numbers of people displaced by climatic shakeups of the 21st Century on Earth. However, most of the settlers were from the same nations that were home to the universities involved, and they included a very high percentage of college and trade school graduates. New Shiron was also responsible for the successful evacuation of the Antarctic stations as the situation on Earth worsened.

During the early days of settlement a constitution was drawn up creating a Royal Family and particularly large donations of money enabled people to purchase writs of nobility. Thus the Constitutional Monarchy of New Shiron was established and has continued since.

Because of this well educated population, and the considerable capital available at the time the colony was founded, New Shiron managed to retain interstellar capability even after Earth collapsed and reached Tech Level 11 before most nations in the Diaspora managed to reach Tech Level 9.

The people of New Shiron call themselves Shironi.

Exeter Star System (double star system K3/M9)
Primary World : Galveston Bay
A medium sized planet with a diameter of 11,200 km, with a standard atmosphere, and is 90% water, with the land masses consisting of small, medium and large islands. Surface gravity is .96 and it has a 27 hour day and 338 day year, making it a very earth like world. Galveston Bay has 3 moons (Redfish, Pelican, and Tiki)
Other planets
Orbiting Exeter 1 (K3) in orbital order are Matagorda (a gas giant) with 3 moons, Galveston Bay (the main world), Alpine (a Mars type world), an asteroid belt, and Kilauea, a gas giant with 3 moons, Exeter 2 (M9) a very small star, Oahu (Mars type world), another asteroid belt, Mauna Loa, a gas giant with 3 moons, and Samoa, a gas giant with 3 moons.

Background: Galveston Bay was initially settled by settlers from coastal Texas that were displaced by coastal flooding caused by global warning and was one of the earliest colonies. More settlers from American and Australian Oceania followed as sea levels rose on Earth, as well as practically the entirety of Micronesia and much of Polynesia.

Galveston Bay is famous throughout the Diaspora for its BBQ, a blending of Texas and Polynesian traditions. The capital city is New Galveston. Locals refer to themselves as Bayites.

note expansion by New Cynthia in the cluster its claiming

Minor NPCs
Note that minor NPC worlds are assumed to have a population of 100 million until NS catches up, then it will reflect whatever NS says

Iris/New Iris Tech level 7
http://www.utzig.com/cgi-bin/iai/sys...spora&Hex=1513
founded by dissident Mormons who believe and practice polygamy. Tech level 7 nations, no starport, but small starships and small craft can land at one of the various airports on the planet. Has an army but no space force. Army consists of 10 defense battalions

Messeir/Messier Tech 9
http://www.utzig.com/cgi-bin/iai/sys...spora&Hex=1111
Founded by a group of French Canadian farmers as the situation on Earth fell apart. Has just reached tech 9 and has built a starport, military shipyard and has 1 missile boat squadron, 1 fighter squadron, 1 interface squadron and a few civilian transports.

Shannaii/Miranda
http://www.utzig.com/cgi-bin/iai/sys...spora&Hex=1814
A failed colony world, a few dozen scientists from New Shiron are studying exactly what caused the 80 million inhabitants to die off. A large number (tens of thousands) of bodies discovered (the ones that hadn’t deteriorated) died of an unknown illness. Landings are not recommended at this time. Another problem is that the world has different amino acids then most other settled planets, which makes settlement and growing crops difficult even before catastrophe struck.

Dryden/Dryden2 Tech 9
http://www.utzig.com/cgi-bin/iai/sys...spora&Hex=1818
This world, settled by immigrants from other colony worlds, is a bucolic paradise of beaches, islands, forests and resorts. Many of the very rich from all over the Sector like to visit here.
Military: 2 Missile boat squadrons, 4 fighter squadrons, 2 interface squadrons, 20 defense battalions plus a large number of civilian merchant ships for its size

St James/St Marks
http://www.utzig.com/cgi-bin/iai/sys...spora&Hex=1521
has amino acids opposite of Earth based life, and has not been deemed worth settling as of yet. New Shiron had a base here until 5 years ago, but has abandoned the world. The Pricecutter Company (based in New Shiron) has a base here however, and uses the world as a stopover point for its fleet of cargo ships. Population is 40,000, clustered in a small town near the Equator. Warships from New Shiron frequently stop here to refuel and take shore leave as well.

systems previously occupied by Kordo and the Orbis System will be added to the list as time permits but it will be soon


note changes

December 23, 2300

Dryden and New Shiron sign a basing agreement. New Shiron will protect that star system and in turn is granted basing rights.


New Shiron also formerly claims the St. James System.


The Press is informed that both star systems are vital for the continued maintenance of the quarantine at Miranda.

Ambassador Harry Mbutu of Azania formerly declares himself acting Speaker for Azania and establishes a government in exile in Regina, New Shiron

He then begins calling for help from anyone who will listen.

New Shiron politely declines but allows him to continue to operate. The New Shiron government also however retains its embassy on Azania.

New Cynthia makes no comment, but Galveston Bay firmly condemns the invasion of Azania, as does New Iris, Azatlan, Dryden and Messeir.

Galveston Bay firmly condemns the invasion of Azania, as does New Iris, Azatlan, Dryden and Messeir.

Middle Snu asks the above nations to join the Snu embargo of No Taxes. "Hopefully," the Middle Snu ambassador says, "if economic pressure is added to diplomatic pressure, No Taxes will recognize its mistake."

Official Statement of No Taxes Embassy on New Shiron
We are simply bringing the benefits of civilization to the Azanian people. We gave them the chance to accept our forces and benefits peacefully, but they chose to resist and we were forced to take harsher action. All we want to do is increase their standard of living and install a planetary democratic government. After one year, we will leave with only one outpost and a garrison unit stationed on the moon and the Azanians will be free to govern themselves democratically. We shall be spending our own money to increase the Azanian's life and several years from now, their life expectancy should have increased by 45 years and they will be a space-faring nation. How is wanting to give the Azanian people a unified, democratic government and a better way of life immoral? We also invite Ambassador Harry Mbutu of Azania to return to his planet and help set up the new government. He will be welcome to enter elections and he can watch as we greatly improve the Azanian's standard of living.

The Abbassian Ambassador declares to the New Shironian Media that the Emirate is deeply disturbed by the recent acts of violance and instability that have surfaced recently despite the lengthy era of peace that has flourished following humanity's survival from the Diaspora that was direct long-term result from such behaviour.

The Emirate urges an ending to all conflict and the return to times of peace through civilised and diplomatic manner, for humanity's sake.

The Emirate privately contacts the New Shironian Government in hopes of organizing a Humanitarian Relief Expedition sponsored by the Emirate.

The Kilani prescense in the Darryl system is reinforced by the CVLs Rostislav and Petr, their fighter wings, the light cruisers Wolf, Don and Dimitri, three DesRons, five ScoutRons, three missile boat squadrons, two transport groups and four marine regiments, as well as two transport groups working as tankers and logistical support.

The Federal government also offers its moral support to the Azanians and warns the No Taxes government that any further incursion into the star cluster will be viewed as an act of war against the Federation.

Mr. Mbutu of Azania recieves a personal letter of encouragement from the Emir for his and his people's struggle. While hoping to continue this Correspondance on less turbulant times and less official manner, the Emir indicates that roughly $248 Billion are to be transfered to be put for his disposal, $48 Billion are in the form of Medical Supplies, subsistance goods and other nessecities, while the $200 Billion are in the form of liqued currency as the Abbassian Emirate is unaware of the Azanian Humanitarian Needs.

The Emir only hopes that these funds will be able to provide enough toease the suffering of the Azanian people and will allow Mr. Mbutu to engage in Diplomatic Conduct to fulfill his just cause.

Official Statement of No Taxes Foreign Ministry
Working with Azanian officials, No Taxes Forces on Azania are setting up planetary-wide democratic elections. These will usher in a new unified government, that will help bring the technology level and standard of living forwards, not backwards on Azania. Also, Kilanian officials and anyone else are invited to come to Azania, to help set up the elections and to monitor them for legitimacy. If all goes well, No Taxes Ground Forces will be completely gone by the end of the year. However, a garrison will be set up on the moon for the protection of the new Azanian government.

And beginning in 2302, No Taxes will be spending a portion of its colonization budget on helping to improve the technological level of Azania.

As soon as word of the Sharinan attack reaches Ekuur, Amestria's High Parliament declares a state of war between the polity of Amestria and the polity of Sharina to be in effect.

On New Shiron the Amestrian Embassy, in all available media, denounces the "dishonorable and cowardly Sharinan surprise attack" and point out that negotiations on New Shiron between Amestria, Sharina, and Bazalonia's Ambassadors were taking place when the Sharinans struck. Sharina is further condemned as an expansionist dictatorship that has no concern or respect for legality.

“The Sharinan dictatorship is waging an illegal and cowardly war of aggression, the goal of which they openly admit to be Living Space. It seems Humanity has returned to the time of the early 20th century. The Amestrian Republic urges the intergalactic community not to turn a blind eye to aggression and put pressure, be it diplomatic, economic, or military, on Sharina.”

The Haneastic League asks for calm in the groing fighting that is occuring and offers to mediate some sort of peace conference, wherever it may be, although they accept that they are not the closest neutral observers.

The Amestrian Republic announces it would be willing to hold peace talks on New Shiron provided certain (as yet unnamed) conditions are met.

The Amestrian Republic embargos No Taxes for its act of unjustifiable aggression and asks the intergalactic community to embargo Sharina in retaliation for its sneak attack upon Amestrian controlled Khanii. The Amestrian Republic also recognizes the Azanian Government in exile.

Federation officials will arrive in the Azanian system aboard the FNS Rostislav, escorted by a DesRon flotilla, as well as a ScoutRon group for courier purposes. Their mission is to ensure the elections are fair and will not turn the planet into a puppet of the No Taxes government, as well as provide an offer to the new government once it is formed.

Mr. Mbutu is inited to come along, under Federal protection.

http://traveller.wikia.com/wiki/Droyne

Droyne world in the Diaspora Sector
Pesuuzu
http://www.utzig.com/cgi-bin/iai/system_info.pl?Sectors=Diaspora&Hex=0524
Tech level 9
Population uncertain, but estimated at 100 million
Has friendly relations with New Shiron. It is known that the world has contact with other Droyne worlds. It is assumed that the Droyne have jump gate technology and it is also known that they are Tech level 11 overall.

Interestingly enough, evidence that other worlds in Human Space were at one time settled by the Droyne exists. The most compelling evidence has been found at the star system Castor, which appears to have once had an earth like world (which is now an asteroid belt) and Droyne fossils were found on a Titan type moon orbiting one of the Gas Giants in that star system.

Castor can be found here

Sukiaida condemns No Taxes actions as expansionistic, but doesn't say much beyond this for the current war, it does ask it's neighbors (Galveston Bay.) among others, what it wishes to do in these current times.

(Sorry busy weekend.)

Galveston Bay responds by sharply limiting technology exports to No Taxes, Sharima, and Amestria in context with its stated neutrality in the situation. Canadstein/Pskov is added to that list once word of its occupation of New Iris is recieved.

Warships from those nations are also excluded from space controlled by Galveston Bay (not that this is an issue at this point).

The Haneastic League contacts Galveston Bay to inquire as for a possible acquisition of 4 Tech 10 Transports, and 2 Battlestars. Payment can begin as soon as 2302.

(OOC: if GB says no, then request from New Cynthia)

Galveston Bay is indeed willing sell tranports to Haneastic League. Galveston Bay is also willing to sell the newly completed CVL George H. Bush (ooc as GB will hit tech level 11 next year and it will be obsolete before it really hits the fleet)

The Haneastic league agrees to this, and will pay half the cost in 2302.

OOC: I assume you want regular payment for the tech 10 CVL, or a reduced fare?

900 Bilion Dollars shall be sent to Galveston bay in 2302

Sukiaida is also curious if it could buy some tech lvl 10 ships from Galveston. Hopefully with Jump 2 technology.

For future reference, tech 10 ships come with Jump 2
