Diplomacy

Shasla5 of the Orbital Spa and Cruise

We accept your proposal of an alliance between our factions. We also ask you for a permission to build a Small Station on the orbit of Planet Curacao, Cortez System. DSE will use it as a transit station for ships en route to Bretonia systems.


The Creator of the Liberty

Deep Space Engineering accept your offer to form an alliance. We hope you will also help us to protect our new bases founded in the Independent Worlds to ensure safer trading between Liberty and other Houses.


Roc of Bretonia, Bret Bretonian of Kusari and DSQrn of Rheinland

Deep Space Engineering offers you a coalition, or even a friendly alliance if you wish. We will support your Houses with building Jump Gates, Trade Lanes and bases of all kinds. We also ask you for a permission to estabilish an outpost of our company on Waterloo Station, Roppongi Station and Bonn Station, respectively, so our ships will be able to get to their desired location faster.

Friendly - Bretonia, Kusari, Rheinland

Faction News

Chugoku Jump Gate Almost Complete

The Jump Gate linking Hokkaido is part of a controversial construction project intended to open the recently discovered mineral riches of the Chugoku system to exploitation by Kusari business interests. However, because of the natural dangers of the Hokkaido system and significant levels of terrorist activity, Interspace Commerce (IC) refused to insure the venture until the Kusari government committed to station the Battleship Matsumoto in the system for protection. Despite the large military presence, however, the Chugoku Gate is still a favorite target of the Blood Dragons.
Today, a representative of Deep Space Engineering stated that the Jump Gate should become functional within several standard months. Trade Lanes linking it with the New Tokyo Jump Gate should be functional shortly after that.

OOC:Sorry guys, i will get my forst turn up when i get home from work which will be about 3 hours from now, hope this is ok.

IC:
Message to all factions wishing diplomatic relations with Kusari:


At this time, Shogun Bret will be taking all diplomatic offers under advisement and will not be making anything official until later today. He asks all relevant faction leaders to be patient. One note of concern the Shogun has which will be expressed deeply is the proposed trade lane construction by DSE between Kusari main systems and Chugoku.

@Liberty - I would be willing to trade metal with you, once i have contructed a second base in dublin
Talk to me over the secure channel [email protected]

Post Tue Mar 29, 2005 5:25 am

OOC: Bret, the Trade Lane construction is not only proposed, it has started before FL story (non-functional TL's are alerady there) If you dont want it, you may cancel it of course. When both JG and TL's are finished, you will have unlimited acces to the Chugoku System and all of its resources. We will also gladly give the JG under your control.

Some results:

Codename blitzed Roppongi - 16 - Success!
ww2jacob blitzed Harris - 11 - Failure
Wilde searched for Freistadt - 11 - Failure, but the ships return
Lord Emperor researched Improved Labs - 8 - Success!
Lord Emperor blitzed Newark - 6 - Failure
Hobbie searched for Padua - 17 - Failure, but the ships return
Roc wanted to blitz Islay but couldn't because he couldn't find the station.

Let me know if I missed anything (other than Wilde's attack since we can't judge those yet). And FYI, I'm using a Java-based random # generator.

@DSE

Liberty will protect you if we are capable.

@To all:

Liberty is still looking for metal and gas

Post Tue Mar 29, 2005 5:53 am

Great, I am updating my turn.

@The Creator of the Liberty

Thanks for your will to protect our bases. In return, if you will have problems in the future, we will gladly spare some fighters to help you.
We are currently planning to build more stations, and if we will have any spare resources we will welcome a trade agreement with you.

Sorry bout that Wilde, must have missed that. I will accept that so you will be neutral. Also, DSE and Liberty, offers accepted . And to Mollies, agreed. You may have building rights in Bretonia, in return for our alliance and a pact of protection so if either of us are attacked, we will act like it was our own and retaliate accordingly.

To liberty - I dont have the resources to supply such a deal yet. You have two choices.

1. Wait for my second dublin base to be constructed.
2.Reduce the amount of metals you are willing to trade.

Its difficult suppling such a great house such as liberty.
