Department of State

Based in San Angeles, New Eden, the Federation Department of State is the executive agency within the Federation responsible for issues pertaining to diplomacy, foreign affairs and advancing the Federation's interstellar interests. Including the Federation Diplomatic Corps within its ranks, it is also responsible for organising and maintaining embassy exchanges with other nationstates, as well as all legislation pertaining to such. It also provides a variety of services to Federation citizens seeking to visit or immigrate to the Federation.

As Secretary of State, I am the chief advisor to the Federation President in matters of foreign policy, and to that end I have successfully achieved his permission to establish a new embassy exchange program with the aim of furthering foreign relations with the various nationstates in the cosmos. As a peaceful unity of planets we strive to seek out new lifeforms and new civilisations, and forge cordial relations with all that we are able to.

With this in mind we extend the opportunity of an embassy exchange with the Federation to the universe at large, as well as the forum for any other diplomatic agreements which may need to be made. Our embassy buildings are located in the Green Plaza district of San Angeles on New Eden, positioned in the heart of the transporter network and only a jaunt from the Federation Council. Please read and confirm your understanding of our terms of embassy usage, and complete the attached form in order to establish a diplomatic mission in the heart of the Federation.

Thank you for your time, and good wishes to you all.

Sincerely,



Xev Chiana

To whomever it may concern, Hyperspatial Travel,

It is most gratifying to hear that the venerable Realm is interested in establishing diplomatic relations with the Federation. Certainly, your application is accepted and you may transfer your diplomatic mission to Embassy Avenue, San Angeles, at your convenience. Coordinates for New Eden are attached within this communication. Likewise, we are pleased for the opportunity to establish a Federation embassy within the Realm, and we are eager to move towards putting a mission in place.

Ambassador Rita Corben, a human women of some forty-five years of age, shall be despatched with her family of three as soon as possible. She will be aided by an embassy staff numbering thirty, with ten guards armed with sidearms. Two type-two shuttlecraft, unarmed, shall be transferred to the embassy for their use. Should this be acceptable to you, we shall despatch the mission most promptly - the USS Achates, a Miranda-class starship of registry NCC-1942 has been mobilised for the task.

In the meantime, we look forward to establishing positive relations between our two cultures over the coming years.

OOC: On the embassy note, would you mind if I used this thread as a template for an embassy thread of my own? I'd credit you, and the application form is absolutely excellent.

IC:

To Xev Chiana, United Federation of Interstellar Planets

We are most pleased to hear of the acceptance of our embassy to the Federation. Jarlen Galt and his family will be en route on the Lysander Spooner, and will leave on the morrow.

We are more than willing to accept Rita Corben's embassy. An embassy on the orbital station New Caledonia has been opened for her, and she may arrive as soon as possible. The station has an elevator down to the Realm homeworld of Hypatia, however, the considerations of space and temperature on Hypatia make it inconvenient for an ambassador to be housed there.

Both your embassy staff and shuttles are acceptable, and the shuttles will be able to be docked on New Caledonia.

I wish yourself and Ambassador Corben well, and reciprocate your desire for positive relations in the no doubt many years of fruitful contact to come.

Office of the Secretary of State

To whomever it may concern, The Adeptus Ministorum,

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the sovereign nation of The Adeptus Ministorum to the interstellar community, and hope that you will enjoy prosperous, peaceful times along the road ahead.

Though two of the responses on your application form were of some concern to us, I am pleased to accept your request for an embassy situated within the Federation. This acceptance is on the condition that your ambassador respects that the Federation is a union of many different species and acts according to proper diplomatic decorum, and that the two battleships you are despatching comply with the terms laid out in Chapter Three, Section Four of the Terms of Embassy Usage. Likewise, we shall avoid contact with your starship Retribution as requested, unless any legitimate cause arises that forces us to do otherwise. If this is acceptable, we shall be happy to welcome Imperial Missionary Julius Hecromancy and his staff to the Federation.

As an aside, your answer to the final field of the application form states a possible interest in hosting a Federation embassy within your nation. In an effort to solidify peaceful relations I was curious as to whether there was anything the Federation could do to persuade you to do so, including a statement of our willingness to sign a non-aggression pact and possible trade agreements between our two nations?

Regardless, welcome once more, and we look forward to peaceful and cordial relations.

Office of the Secretary of State

Dear Xavier Jenon, Hyperspatial Travel,

I am pleased to hear this, and Ambassador Corben and company have just left for Realm territories as a result of your acceptance.

In regards to more positive future relations, I would like to suggest the possibility of solidifying that sentiment through the signing of a non-aggression pact to ensure that our current peaceful status continues unhindered. As our two nations are seemingly similar in outlook and ideology in several ways, certainly moreso than most others in the galaxy in terms of democracy and personal liberty, the possibility of future collaboration between our two cultures looks to be high and encouraging.

Additionally, overlooking differences in our economic systems, some manner of trade agreement would also be welcomed if you would be so inclined.

Office of the Secretary of State

To whomever it may concern, Phenixica,

Given our recent correspondence regarding colonising the Phenixican world of Solus, and the resultant cooperation on both sides, we would be more than happy to accept your request for an embassy exchange. Your application is acceptable, and please inform your ambassador that he need not worry about a lack of respect or dignity during his stay here; all appropriate diplomatic standards are maintained at all times.

We should like to accept your offer to host a Federation embassy within Phenixica. Ambassador Faen Risalen, a Bajoran man of some thirty-seven years, shall be despatched most promptly aboard the Miranda-class starship USS Merrimack, NCC-1855. As per your request, he shall be accompanied by ten security personnel and shall have access to two unarmed Type 2 shuttlecraft, along with a standard embassy staff of thirty. Ambassador Faen shall have no family or dependants accompanying him.

Considering our continued collaboration regarding the colonisation of Solus, it would also seem pertinent to establish a trade agreement pre-emptively, as well as signing a non-aggression pact, however unnecessary that may be.

I look forward to positive and prosperous relations between us in the future.

To Xev Chinia

In answer to your message, we would like to ask a question to you, in your federation, do you allow Xeno lifeforms to join?

And also in response to your concern regarding the Emperor's Wrath, the reason that a battleship is being used as the escort is that the Black Ship needs to be watched over at all times, and it is Imperial Law that all Black Ships must be attended by a Battleship class spacecraft or above at all times. I hope we can come to a comprimise over the problem. And by the way, the Black Ship has very few weapons in it's system, this is becaue that if a Psyker was to gain control of the ship, it would not be able to damage others. The only thing that could cause a large amount of damage in the ship is the self-destruct system, but if the self-destruct system ever powers up in your presence without the commaders of the ship saying why, you are welcome to open fire on it.

And the problem is that you cannot persaude us to make an embassy befre we encounter the diplomat from your Empire, there are several things that must be taken into account before anything more than neogtiations take place, such as; Whether you allow Xeno lifeforms into your Federation, if you allow Psykers into your Federation, and other such reasons.

Ave Imperator

Official Communiqué
Office of the Secretary of State

To whomever it may concern, Vorlon Empire,

We welcome an embassy from the Vorlon Empire, and your application has been wholeheartedly accepted. Your particular requirements shall be met via the installation of a Class-A life support system throughout your embassy building, of which you will have complete control. The Class-A life support system is capable of simulating a wide variety of environs, and should not have any issues with creating an appropriate atmosphere for your representative.

As for the Federation embassy issue, we accept that the deployment of a diplomatic mission to the Vorlon Empire may be problematic at best. If a workaround cannot be identified, we would suggest that if you accept the idea, a Federation ambassador be stationed within or nearby the Vorlon embassy here on New Eden - this would facilitate at least a symbolic exchange, however redundant it may be.

As previously stated in our initial missive, one of the primary aims of this government is to expand the scientific knowledge in regards to astrobiology and xeno-anthropology, and the Vorlon species is one we are not familiar with despite their apparently unique nature. Ergo in addition to your embassy request, we would welcome some manner of cultural exchange or access to a database to learn more about yourselves and your way of life. If you so desire, a similar resource can be offered to you regarding Federation citizens.

Regardless, we welcome your interest in peaceful relations with the Federation and hope that such can be maintained into the future.

Office of the Secretary of State

Dear Nesbolt Cargh, The Adeptus Ministorum,

As previously stated, the United Federation of Interstellar Planets is a diverse union of many different species, and although humans are the most numerous there are several other species present in large numbers - the Romulans, Vulcans and Andorians in particular. This government makes no legal distinction regarding species, colour, creed or ability, and affords its citizens equal rights and privileges regardless of such.

In regards to your ships, if you feel that your 'Black Ship' requires a capital ship escort we have no issue with this, provided that the battleship complies with the terms laid out in Chapter Three, Section Four of the Terms of Embassy Usage.

In answer to your final inquiry, the term 'psyker' isn't one that I am personally familiar with, however a logical assumption is that it relates to individuals with psychic abilities. As mentioned the Federation Charter makes no distinction based on ability, and indeed we have a small minority of telepathic Betazoid citizens strewn around our various planets. Provided that they obey Federation law - in particular legislation relating to individual privacy - there are no restrictions placed upon psychic individuals. All of our respective security agencies - the Federation Police Authority, Starfleet Command, Starfleet Intelligence and the Federation Colonial Peacekeepers - actively ensure that no misuse of telepathic ability occurs within their respective jurisdictions through the use of technology and the employment of Betazoid agents.

In regards to a Federation ambassador, we are aware that certain conflicts of interest can arise when dealing with other cultures, and if it is troublesome for you to host non-human diplomats, we can take steps to ensure that the entire staff of the diplomatic mission shall be human in origin.

I hope this helps, and look forward to hearing from you again.

The ship had been on its way for some time, but even so, it seemed to have no difficulty firing off a reply. Unfortunately, that reply simply said, in as many terms that such matters would be best discussed when the ambassador arrived. ‘She’ soon did, though, appearing in the icy depths of the Nova Eden system, far from the parent star, the ship itself would read as only containing one life form, or rather, it would read as one life form, for it had many characteristics of living creatures, though it obviously was a high energy construct, and had some other elements within it beyond the typical makeup of natural creatures, it was nonetheless organic, living, to some degree.

In form, it was made up by two pods, linked by fluidly curving tentacles; in its current configuration, it most resembled a yellow-brown dappled squid like creature, especially as it was flying with its nominal aft section forwards, the buttress-tentacles trailing behind it.

(I am interested in some kind of cultural exchange RP, though it’d doubtless be unsatisfactory IC in quite what information my lot would provide. But I've been meaning to do something about giving 'outsiders' the brief tour. Would you preffer a new thread for that, or to do it here?)

To our Brethren in the Interstellar Planets

United Federation of Interstellar Planets,

We here at the Galactic Federation of Anagonia do hereby recognize a partner in the unity of Peoples, Species, and Planets. With over seven different races of sentient beings in our beloved Federation, we have striven to become more unified with each passing century of existence. Many worlds are united as one in the Federal Territories, once seven distinct Empire-Provinces in past times. The Galactic Federation, with this in mind, understands how important and valuable unity is in a united nation of planets.

Anagonia admires and respects your achievements, and values you as a worthy partner on the Galactic scene. We truly desire closer relations, so that our peoples and government may understand each other better. This is not to say we don't feel an understanding, for we are basically in the same mindset. This is just to say an understanding of different cultures, so we may expand our knowledge of the Galaxy.

Henceforth, with this objective in mind of Galactic Unity in Understanding, we therefore apply for an embassy, and allow you to have one if you so choose. If you accept, your embassy would more than likely be automatic, so all that would need to be said was that the Federation Congress probably would pass it with flying colors. The way our politics go, anything beneficial and having the ultimate goal of peace and prosperity in mind usually passes anyway.

Thank you for this opportunity,
Caster Oblivion
Chief of Foreign Affairs and Activities
(OOC NOTE: Yes, Caster is MT and FT COFAA)

National ideology (summary)
The Galactic Federation is very open to Intergalactic Relations, and considers all other empires as equals. Normally, when the Government is involved in First Contact, relations are open and at an equal stance. When the Military is involved in First Contact, usually other empires can be judged based upon actions taken, which can result in loss of relations at times. However, the Federation mainly looks for Empires that express Democratic Values and support the People rather than one person (dictator).

In all respects, if a Galactic Nation has a dictator-like entity in leadership, so long as that nation does not present itself as overly hostile, relations generally are good.

Special requirements
With the exception of the obvious, the Grand Admiral is the best diplomat avaliable at this time. Considering he is still a member of the Grand Navy of the Federation, he is most of the time busy with duties revolving around military affairs. The only exception the Galactic Federation can as for is that, since the Grand Army has taken care of security for the Grand Admiral, any military ships be allowed orbit to transport important staff for meetings and updates with military affairs.
Do you wish to host a Federation embassy within your nation?
The Galactic Federation of Anagonia welcomes an embassy, with permission for a military-style base, and will allow military vessels in orbit around its Homeworld of Novar.

Office of the Secretary of State

Dear Caster Oblivion, Anagonia,

It is most pleasing to myself and the Federation Council to encounter a nationstate with such value for equality, life and liberty, irrespective of the differences which can be divisive in other societies. We have a similar admiration and respect for your own achievements, even given our sparse knowledge at present, and certainly welcome closer diplomatic relations in the years ahead. Your requirements are acceptable to us, on the provision that any visiting military ships are not permanently stationed in our space unless they conform to the numbers laid out in the Terms of Embassy Usage. With this in mind it would seem prudent to discuss the signing of a non-agression pact, however unneccessary such may be, and to establish closer trade ties. All with a view to closer relations in the future.

Though we are not presently seeking to establish nor accept military bases - I am sure you can understand our desire to establish a certain mutual trust before doing so, given the volatile nature of the universe and our desire to maintain the safety of our citizens - we are willing to send Ambassador Vorak to lead a standard diplomatic mission within Anagonia for the time being, if such is acceptable to yourselves. Further cooperation in matters such as military bases and the like in the future is certainly possible.

I personally look forward to forging much closer ties in the coming years, and can see our two Federations cooperating to accomplish great things in the future. I eagerly welcome future correspondence.

Sincerely,



Xev Chiana

Incoming Response from Federation Admiralty
In hopes of expanding our diplomatic horizons

Dear Xev Chiana,

Let it be made aware that the Galactic Federation shall not, in any event, allow more than one warship of any kind, of any type, over an extended period of time, henceforth mentioned as one day, in the territories of the United Federation. The Galactic Federation is extremely aware of the hostile Galaxy we live in, and is also aware that, while not everyone expresses this, relations can be broken in the blink of an eye. I can assure you, that as I have been in contact with my personal companion in Starfleet Command, a Grand Admiral Zeltess, that we shall not allow this great stance of relations between our two Galactic Nations to be broken by mere mistakes and insults of any nature.

I, Greg Paladin, as representative and of high authority in the Galactic Federation, do hereby welcome a Non-Aggression Pact and welcome any form of diplomatic relations. Insofar that all relations are meant to produce an equal and unbiased towards our Peoples, and the Will of the People to produce stronger relations that will intern bring forth a brighter future for our Galactic Nations.

I thank you, personally, for accepting me upon your Grounds. I am also thankful you did not object forthright. Be assured that any requests for your safety and ours will be met with action, in the terms of producing an outcome that will be satisfactory to both parties, and that should anything be found in objection to good relations, I shall personally see to take care of it. Let it be known that Anagonia does, and always shall, welcome any ambassador you have to offer.

God Speed, and may our two Galactic Peoples prosper as equals.

OOC: You were right, I never got around to approving your request! Consider this retroactive; the Technonaut's embassy was approved and set up before Sphere 42's 'problems' came to light. Time bending is cool.

Office of the Secretary of State

Dear Master of Sphere 42,

As was stated in our own embassy application it is most pleasing to see the Technonauts wander from a path of violence and reach the crossroads of diplomacy. With our own embassy set up already, it is our distinct honour to host the Technonaut embassy within the Federation. Your somewhat unusual request of constructing a spherical building instead of a traditional embassy structure has the Diplomatic Corps perplexed, but I am sure it will be possible to accommodate.

We look forward to closer communications between our peoples.

Sincerely,



Xev Chiana
