GALNET - 03 MAR 3307 - Superpowers Make Progress at the Galactic Summit

Leaders from the Alliance, Empire and Federation have agreed a series of minor treaties at the diplomatic gathering in the Sirius system.

Vox Galactica featured this report from political correspondent Conrad Sterling:

“Following days of heated arguments, temperatures in the conference chamber finally cooled enough for all three superpowers to formalise a raft of agreements. These were ratified in person by Chancellor Blaine, President Hudson and Prime Minister Mahon.”

“The most significant of these treaties is the Cornelius-Lasky Convention, named after its two leading proponents. This requires the Alliance, Empire and Federation to share information on any large-scale threats to civilian populations, including environmental, medical and xenological crises.”

“There has been slow progress on other topics, such as military limitation and border control. Many independent ambassadors are demanding to prioritise debates on the Thargoid issue, and especially the defensive role played by Aegis.”

“Outside the chamber, First Minister Fairfax invited Princess Duval to a small ceremony to honour her late father. Fairfax formally apologised for Prince Harold’s death and condemned the terrorists responsible. Aisling Duval gracefully accepted this, but time will tell if it was an empty gesture or the first step toward Imperial-Marlinist rapprochement.”

Thanks for this, I am interested in how this particular story plays out and the repercussions of it.

Nice to see Harry being honoured, he was always my favourite NPC (and the reason I followed Aisling).
 
Empire unleashes the might of the pilots federation. Sends it's regards.

We get another pew pew community goal.
 
could that be worked into a CG for this week? I dunno if I have another week of BH in me
who am i kidding of course i have...
Well, the NMLA are weaksauce terrorists, wasting several opportunities to wreak havoc so far. At the very least stations need to go pop- maybe Sol, Achenar and Kale Central need shipments of green jelly and ice-cream to 'move the agenda forward'.
 
I mean, I wrote this for local Galnet (sadly now wiped from the game) when The King™ expanded a system right next door to ALDs throne room:

The Neighbour From Hell


Citizens across the Empire were in panic today as reports emerged of Kumo infiltration in the wealthy system of LTT 874, a place only 15ly from Achenar and Capitol.


The Kumo Crews advance into the system began violently aboard Parkinson Orbital when the body of a missing LTT 874 Empire Party official was dumped from a passing transport clutching a blood stained note:


“The Imperial Senate foolishly began the war with the Kumo. Now we return the favour, and bring the Pegasi War to the very doorstep of the Empire, to the gates of Achenar itself. There is no place left to hide, for we are everywhere. Surrender and live, oppose us and die.”


Despite pleas for calm and unity, wealthy families have been reported secretly moving finances away from the system as dread grips the heart of the Empire. Terrified citizens in LTT 874 have taken to the streets to plead for help, but so far the ruling LTT 874 Empire Party and other Imperial channels have remained silent.


Attention now falls on senior Imperial figures, and the difficult task of fighting their elusive foe in the one place that was once thought safe.

Theta 7 needs to up his game. Less nipple electrodes and more menace.
 
Hmm... I wonder if Fairfax organized this ceremony because of Aisling's ice-cold retort that made everyone gasp in shock at the start of the summit or if it was intended to hold it anyway and the actual surprise being that Aisling did not get herself uninvited because of said comment... 🤔

Whyte is extreme anti-empire marlinism (perhaps even the NMLA link), the complete opposite of Fairfax which takes a much more peaceful approach and looks to coexist. Fairfax is the elected leader of the Marlinist republic, unless something happens to her...

What? Then who the fudge was all that Ethgreze Tea I hauled for?

That was just for my weekly delivery of hangover cures. It is shipped on from there, so I thank you for your service.

I'm very disappointed by the lack of invite. It's not like I'm a difficult person. And I can bring my pet Brick with me - he's a royal conversation starter.


I'm very angry. Angry and aroused.
