We cannot stress the importance of terminating anyone who receives even the slightest touch from a stinger to their skin. Even the briefest attachment can transmit the virus. Termination does not have to be immediate. The infected can say goodbye to their family, assuming it is before the 12 hour incubation period starts. They will lapse into a coma, and they will turn and then go back, hunting for their Dear Ones.
But, the robots should simplify things a lot. Your forces will be deployed alongside Torchwood Agents and members of the Drakul Extermination Force. If need be, we can provide silver ammunition and blades. They work the best, though energy weapons are also effective, if headshots are achieved.
Alex, Dr. Koenig, Professor Setrakian, and Thomas and Vaun Eichhorst are in Germany, trying to hunt down the Ancient. Eichhorst briefly discovered its location when it used what he calls "The Mummer", which can be used to paralyze and deafen people en masse, last used when an Ancient fee on an entire plane of people. The Mummer kept them from reacting. Ancients are "linked", and the Mummer lets the track each other. But Eichhorst cannot find it now.
Oh, and beware of small children. If they do not verbally respond or turn around immediately, do not approach. They are most likely a Drakul trying to ambush. For unknown reasons, infected children are insanely agile, the potential of youth exploited to create agile, terrifying creatures that can crawl up and on walls and ceilings and in air ducts. They also appear slightly more intelligent than most Drakul, as they favor ambush tactics and dropping on foes from concealment(such as dropping and draining someone after they walk through a door from the wall above) One team had cleared an apartment building of "normal" Drakul, only for the entire team to be infected by a group of turned children who had lurked in the air vents and elevator shafts.
The Night Eternal shall give way to light. That light may be weak at first but it will grow and purge the world of infection.

Shall we authorize the distribution and use of Hazmat Power Armor on your soldiers, then?

Tradegate Solutions would create the Jump gate and the Ocearan Government will provide the power for them, not requiring any maintenance from the Felucian Government.

Negotiations can be made, and the Jump Gate will more than likely be allowed in the system. The Republic is always interested in creating new ways to increase trade and travel between nations and will be glad to help if something were to go wrong, as they will be nearby.

Note: in no way does this represent my actual views

"It is finally that time of the year: The 2024 Presidential Election! For the first time ever, the UNF will be allowing support to parties from international sources, whether big or small, and will accept any donation given. Each vote will have a real and tangible effect on the race: your opinion is not just a formality; it will have a real impact on the outcome: every vote matters! Additionally, foreign governments, companies, organizations, or individuals that choose to donate money (there is a cap at $15 million in total donations from each entity), or, as an even more effective alternative, send speakers on public endorsement tours, will see a proportional rise in their preferred party's popularity index."

Please read the info about the candidates and their parties, as well as vote, here!:

OOC: Major thanks to Novo for letting me use his thread as the base/foundation for my election thread!

Which system would be linked to the Yulimir System? I need to know for my notable jump gates Factbook.

It can be linked to the Lylat System, which is slowly growing as a trading system of sorts as various foods, minerals, metals, and other objects not commonly found within the Republic are traded from there. So it would be a good choice to link it in that system.

Updated my Jump Gate factbook here: nation=oceara/detail=factbook/id=557380

Also could you give me some tips on formatting a factbook? Your overview has a nice chart format for part of it and I would like to add a similar effect to the Jump Gate factbook to make it more interesting to look at.

Wonderful!

Well to save you some time, I actually used templates I found here on NS. The thread with the formatting templates can be found here, and is for Wiki Style factbooks:

viewtopic.php?t=256878&f=23

All you have to do is look for the part, the template, with the formatting that you need, and you will more than likely find it.

You're welcome. Glad to be of some help.

After a unanimous vote of the Members of the INRAP (International Nuclear Recovery Assistance Program) treaty, INRAP also now covers nuclear accidents and not just nuclear attacks.

2016:
The Ocearan Government has released a law that no local government may enforce a law that goes against Imperial Decree (The Orders of the Emperor) or the Local government may be disbanded and it's area be put under direct imperial governance.

Final Voting has begun in the 2016 Wagain Election Cycle! Results will be updated from West to East starting at the international date line, as polls close and votes are counted in respective countries.

Our first territory is GUAM, which has elected Enrique Calatrava of the Wagain Labour Party. This decision carries tens of thousands of votes, but the next updates will follow polls in The Philippines, a much larger territory that holds immense power over the election.

Link to vote: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=376998&sid=5c5004bc35f4f228621a00d1a57da853

I started a new factbook for Organizations of the Ocearan Empire, starting with the Ocearan Space Navy (Which formed in 2090 under High Admiral Elyse) On that factbook I will update the number (Currently *1*) to reflect the number of Organizations it covers, allowing people to more easily see when it has updated at a glance. (The history one will update according to the years it covers as well for the same reason)

The Newest electoral results: THE PHILIPPINES has voted decisively for the Christian National Party, in a surprise decision that has robbed the Labour Party of a tremendous amount of votes. Furthermore, MACAU, led by its booming gambling industry, has voted for the Party for Civic Unity. Currently, the results going into the African continent are as follows:

1.) CNP
2.) Labour
3.) PCU

Hmmm. Though Alex is busy dealing with Drakul along with the Eichhorsts and Koenig, he had a donated a further 10 million to the PCU.

Post self-deleted by Oceara.

Even though I haven't written down the details yet, but lets just say that by the year 3000 AD -- The Average Ocearan Soldier would be a hardened veteran of over a thousand battles.

If anyone here wants to play the game Stellaris -- I recommend it but fair warning, if you don't have your monitor set to 1080p the button for allowing your custom-made races to spawn as AI-controlled ones won't appear so to work around that you need to edit an ini file.

I really want to post about something interesting, but every time I work on something, I just don't think it would be interesting enough.

(This is occurring in 2060)

After a constitutional convention and major changes to the Orsonian Constitution, the military junta that has been in charge of the Federation since 2054 has finally stepped down from power. High Commander Reeve Korson has transferred control of the government to Chancellor Boehm, who will be allowed to complete the remaining 2 years of her term until the next election in 2062. Most of Central Plaza has been reconstructed, and the Federal Senate will be meeting for the first time in 4 years at the new Federal Senate Complex. Thus, the Federation is once again under the rule of a civilian government.

With the Federation now at peace, Orson is entering a new era of prosperity. The Orsonian economy is booming, and the population continues to grow rapidly. With the development of the Protodrive, the first FTL drive constructed by the Orsonians in the 2050's, Orson is experiencing a major colonization boom. Several private spaceflight companies have facilitated this population boom, with colonies being set up throughout the Sol System. The largest of these companies is the Jupiter Company, and they have been granted a charter by the Federal government to colonize systems outside of Sol. Tens of thousands of people have migrated from Orsonian territory on Earth to these colonies, many of them trying to escape the fighting between the Monarchists and the Federal Military.

The Monarchist movement has been crushed, and support for Monarchism throughout Orson is nearly non-existent. More people support democracy than ever in Orson's history and are finally willing to put Orson's monarchist past behind them.

Mark walked through one of the upper levels of the Jedi Temple with a custom built lightsaber dangling at his side. He approached a room in the middle of the hallway and used the doorbell. "Enter." a feminine voice answers the bell from inside the room. The door opens and Mark walks in. "Amethyst, I need to talk to you." he says. "President Calaway? How can I help you?" Strauss asks with a puzzled expression. "I was told that you spoke with Jane before she was arrested. What did you say to her?" Mark asks her as he walks to the other side of the room before grabbing Amethyst's recently crafted lightsaber. "We've been friends for a long time. I was only trying to help her. I hope I'm not in any trouble." she replies with a somewhat sorrowed tone. "It's no trouble, I just need to know what you told her and if you had told anyone else..." Mark walks over to the blinds covering the window in the room and looks back at Amethyst. "No. I thought I had a clue for her, but I really couldn't tell her anything. Who told you I spoke to her?" her voice gets somewhat worried. "Marcus Johnston....he told me..." "Marcus? Isn't he the one Jane says is really behind all of this?" "That's what Jane says...but I think she's wrong. Marcus thinks someone else is involved..." they both conversate as Amethyst seems to get more worried and backing up to a vase. "And you believe him? Who else could it be if not him? Surely not Jane..." she slowly approaches the vase behind her. "No. I don't think it was Jane either. I think both Jane and Marcus are telling the truth...but there's only one way to find out...."

Mark activates Amethyst's lightsaber and prepares to strike her, but as soon as he does, Amethyst uses her new telekinetic powers to grab Marcus' prototype lightsabers from the vase and activates them, their crimson blades narrowly managing to block the lavender blade of her own lightsaber. "Funny, those belong to Marcus." Mark says before dodging an attack by Amethyst, who locks blades with Mark again. "You should have gotten rid of them!" Mark yells to her, "I think they suit me...." Amethyst says calmly before Mark kicks her out of the doorway, causing the lightsabers to deactivate. She runs off into the hallway and turns into a larger one with a glass view of the city. Mark catches up to her and attacks with the lightsaber, blocking Amethyst's agile attacks using knowledge of lightsaber training from the past. "Jane trusted you and you betrayed her..." "I learned that trust is overrated. The only thing that the Jedi Council believes in is violence..." Mark grabs his own lightsaber off of his belt and activates it, the emerald green blade humming deeply as it activates. They both duel with their lightsabers in hand, blocking a majority of each other's attacks before Amethyst pushes Mark into the wall, leaping towards him with the lightsabers aimed at his neck, only to have them blocked by the blades held by Mark in a last moment attempt of protecting himself. Mark kicks her off of him and gets to his feet, causing Amethyst to try to run down the hallway. As this happens, two Clone Destroyers run in front of her and activated their double bladed lightsabers. "Cease hostilities!" one of them would warn her, making her turn the other way, only for two more to show up and activate their lightsabers. Seeing no other way out, Amethyst runs towards the window and cuts her way out onto the next level of the building's exterior. "Amethyst!" Mark would yell before chasing after her. Their fighting would continue on the building while a class of younglings were training under an older Jedi at the next level below them, causing for the younglings to stop their training and pay attention to the battle. Amethyst managed to kick Mark off of the ground and onto the next level, leaving him laying on his back. "Look out!" one of the younglings yelled to Mark as Amethyst jumped down to give a finishing blow, only to have Mark activate the lightsabers in time to block the attack. He kicked her off of him, but this caused for Amethyst's own lightsaber to be cut in half. The fighting would still go on as the old Jedi stood back to make sure nothing would happen to the younglings as Mark managed to grab Amethyst's arms, causing for her to drop one of the lightsabers that she was using. Hoping to use her speed as an advantage, Amethyst tried using quick strikes to catch Mark off balance, only for him to block all of the attacks and break her defenses with repeated, powerful strikes. Amethyst managed to break free from Mark's attacks and tried to attack him while his guard was down, but was pushed back with extreme force as Alex appeared between them both and punched her in the chest, pushing her into a nearby tree and steel-reinforced concrete wall leaving her unconscious as the wall cracked from the pressure.

"Took you long enough. I was beginning to worry that you were going to make me do all of this work." Mark sighed as he leaned on a nearby wall to catch his breath. "Oh come on, you know me better than that. Besides, the end to that little battle would have been anticlimactic if I didn't pop up out of nowhere." Alex grinned as he put specially made handcuffs onto Amethyst. "Really? Anyways, the plan was that we were going to question her together. I didn't think I would have to resort to Plan B." Mark replied. "Well, at least it made for an interesting experience." Alex chuckled before picking up Amethyst. "Well anyways, we need to get her to the Senate and have them decide her fate from here." Mark said as he motioned for the Clone Destroyers to escort them to the Senate Building.
