AIF Ship

"Sure" said the boy, hoping that the dolphin's last statement was meant to mean the feeling of liberation and not something else. "You guys have nice stuff" said the boy "I like the human music, well, the old stuff at least. Do you have any explanation for the common sense war, by any chance? I remember reading a little about it at school. The teacher told me that it was fought over religions and such, which explains why we were taught the thing in the first place: religion that is."

"Avert your eyes from your lord!" The Triarian Officer said, as his eyes turned orange and the Selkath before him fell to the floor "Infandus! You are charged with assisting the Selkath on Namo in their unauthorised emigration attempt. There shall be no more warnings"
"Please... No!" The Selkath Infandus began to beg but then he fell backwards, clutching his chest as the Officer slowed his heart, finally stopping it. The infandus gasped as he fell to the floor and died.
"Bastard!" The cry came, and he turned to regard the other prisoners
"Tresspassing, resisting arrest, swearing, fighting, attempted murder, contraband possession of all levels, conspiring to commit level four and five violations, malcompliance, inaction, sociocide... All because you didn't emigrate when you had the chance. Fools." The Officer said, turning to leave "Deal with them" He said to the two Selkath civilis protections as he left. The two stepped forwards after he had gone, drawing their hardlight pistols
"You made someone a widow, damn you" The first said, raising his weapon and firing a shot into Kota's head
"That man you killed was a friend of mine" The second said, shooting Shelkar. The two turned, and fired at the other prisoners from the attempt who were lined up on the wall, executing them. The first civilis protections began to check the bodied to ensure they were all dead, while the second activated his communicator
"Protection complete, request 11-44 to my 10-20 we have multiple deceased 647E here."

Hach Evacuation
"Well, Earth religions were never as tolerant as your own one. Human history is littered with wars like the one between you and the Sazkarjhit. The Common Sense War was basically a relapse of earlier religious wars, brought on by increasing tension and the ability of religious leaders to make their followers do anything they wanted done. On our planet, religions weren't created due to actual events like most non-Terran ones. Religion first began as a way to explain things that humans could not comprehend at the time, but it soon morphed into nothing more than a way of controlling people. That's why the wars were fought. The soldiers thought it was over truth and proving they were right, but the leaders knew it was only so they could have more people under their control. Since the Doctrinal Conflict, we've somewhat banned organized religion. All religious meetings need to rotate priests to prevent power corruption, and they have to add equality for people of all religions into their holy texts. It really is too bad that human religion didn't evolve like yours did, they could have advanced so fast without all the wars getting in their way."

Encyclopedia Entry, Fergus McClain
NOTE: Article moderated due to importance.
Fergus McClain was born on September 5th, 2000 on the planet Earth (Terra), in a territory held by the United States of America. In 2023, when the 3rd World War broke out, he was drafted by the United States Navy to fight in the Pacific Theater. Not willing to kill innocents (The USA had attacked first due to claims fabricated by the incredibly racist president at the time), Fergus went AWOL off the coast of Canada. Stealing a lifeboat, he landed in British Columbia and was rescued by an underground resistance movement fighting the Americans (Whom had attacked Canada as well due to their opposition to the Asian war). The movement was led by a radical supporter of civil rights, who had moved to Canada to escape the prejudice of America. Her name was Lia Sora, with a relation to the current Admiral Yuuki Sora. While still living with them in Canada, they got news that the vessel Fergus was stationed on (the USS Freedom) was destroyed by a Chinese fleet sent in a desperate attempt to destroy essential USA Naval production facilities. Taking advantage of the situation, Fergus took the original lifeboat he had with him and headed for California. Once he arrived, he told them he was the only survivor and had lived on the lifeboat for months. Reports are disputed, but it is likely that he implied the destruction of multiple Chinese troop transports by himself in the last hours of the ship. Though the President didn't believe him, he decided to use the story as propaganda to get more recruits. The president invited Fergus to a banquet in his honor, but Fergus' whole story was nothing more than a ruse to get close to the President and his cabinet. He poisoned the food and drink with Cyanide, killing the President along with his cabinet within hours. With the organizational structure temporarily in disarray, the Chinese were able to launch successful attacks on production facilities, crippling the US military. The resistance movement then swept through the USA, taking a large chunk of their land. Many years later, in 2047, Fergus McClain announced the completion of an interstellar drive system in orbit of Earth (Terra) by KeyTech, a company that had bought out nearly all other private spaceflight firms. Being the CEO and somewhat eccentric, he appointed himself as the commander of the mission that would utilize the Matter/Antimatter drive system. The mission went exactly as planned, and Fergus McClain returned as the first human to set foot on an exosolar planet. Since then, he has become on eof the most prominent leaders in Federation history. He has given credit to good luck for most of it.

Sazkarjhia Archaeological Registry Index File #904123: Damwar Suar'kum; Fakeem Suar'kum
Damwar Suar'kum was born March 1955 C.C. to Baralys Suar'kum and Grand Vessel Kargalo Suar'kum. He was raised in the Karboria Governmental District of Sazkar Major. At the age of 25, his father appointed him as his heir apparent. He left, and studied Theology and Religious Theory at the Gamaria Central University in the Gamaria Residential and Business District from the time he was 30 for 12 years. At the age of 203, Vessel Kargalo Suar'kum passed away of natural causes, causing Damwar to take power at the age of 50. During this time, Sazkar prospered. During his reign, military development increased by nearly 600%, the colony of Trimubelo III was founded, and the Sazkarjhit sphere of influence swelled dramatically. Nations and races were beginning to connect. This type of conquest had not occurred for centuries, through several Grand Vessels, and it was clear as to why that was: That much imperialism lets power get to one's head at an alarming rate. Vessel Suar'kum's campaigns became more aggressive, and less forgiving than the last. He instilled his dogma into conquered peoples; forcing them to convert to Zarwaunism, or face a brutal and fiery demise. He had exercised complete intersystem dominion, and as a result he began to develop into a tyrant.

When the Zonanese were discovered, Damwar saw this as a new way to expand further, and take over a new entire empire, and he launched an offensive against them in a string of battles that would be later known as the Crusading Period. The Zonanese planet of Domu was bombarded by naval forces, but managed to be repelled by races banding together to assist the troubled Haches. They had eventually reached Sazkar, and all fell into discord after that. Something inside of the Vessel's head snapped, and he suddenly became crazed and extremely paranoid. On June 8th, 2148 C.C., he was put to death in a ceremonial execution atop Mount Karbor. It seemed at first that all was lost, and then Fakeem took the reigns.

Fakeem Suar'kum was born on April, 2120 C.C., and at the young age of 18, was appointed as heir apparent. When his father died, Fakeem officially became not only the youngest of the Kumari clan to become Vessel, but the youngest Sazkarjhit in history. However, he led the reformation of Sazkarjhia, and managed to rebuild the bridges that his father torched. Years later, Fakeem began to seek diplomatic connections with other races that had once warred with the Sazkarjhit. In 2165 (aprox.), Sazkarjhia became a member nation of the Equiis Pact for economical and diplomatic reasons.

Lance Empire Colony
The planet in the Milky way which the Lance had settled on was actually there original target ship, however they had hit the anomaly, as they referred to it, and landed in a different galaxy altogether. They had colonized the new planet to hopefully see if they could contact the EA and meet other empires. They though at first that the EA had been likely crushed due to the AIF seeming to be prominent, but they detected the same codes coming off the AIF ships that were EA codes.
"Before we begin were you formerly the EA?"

Lance Empire Contact
Surprised by their apparent knowledge of the Earth Alliance, the Abh responded.
"Yes, the Federation was formed just last year. In fact, us Abh are terrans ourselves, we were created by the humans. Of course, the Dolphins are also from Earth. Now, how do you know about the Earth Alliance? We've never heard of this planet being inhabited, nor have we heard of your own people. What do you call yourselves?"

AIF Ship

"Hm.." mumbled the boy "I don't understand things, particularly those empires fighting with and against my people. I've barely gotten any word about it, just stuff saying about a rebellion. Is Zonan in civil war? What have the other races done about it?" is all he could muster to say. He wanted information so he could make his own ideas and morals, but one question he really had on his mind was something he knew the dolphin could never answer: Why haven't the gods helped us?

Unknown Location

"This is getting childish"

"It must occur to end oppression"

"But they would have survived inside oppression"

"But they wouldn't have lived. The Haches deserve their freedom like all deserve to live life for whatever time they have"

"It's ridiculous, however, that this war is wasting so much energy and time. They would be in another galaxy at this point, perhaps where the others are"

"perhaps"

Operation 0-2

Two of the three ships have been completed, and the third ship is just about completed as well. Guard and assault fleets have began to move into position so that once the ships are completed, they can leave as soon as possible.

OP-Planet near the shipyard

"What is this place" said Captain Reyes II. After the battle between themselves and the sazkarjhit pirates, wolverine teams that boarded pirate ships aborted and landed here. Now, the teams have found something important.

"This is OP, sir" said a wolverine Captain "When my team landed here, we were stunned to find a beautiful valley to welcome us. However-er-follow me." The soldier led the group down the valley and towards a river. They hopped onto some vehicles and followed the river all the way down to its beginning. There was a series of mountains at the end, but one thing stood out among the rest: A large, blue crystal.

"What is that?" asked Reyes.

"Scans are comfirming abundant energy inside the crystal, similar to the Elles Gem, sir" said a Comu scientist.

"You are saying-"

"Yes sir, this is the second Holy Gem"

"Get the fleet to take it out of here, this planet is now a Zonanese Territory" any enemies that come by and try to land here are to be repelled, send word to the Trinity"

"sir!"

Hach Evacuation
"Yes, the colonies are in open rebellion against the empire. The Equiis Pact is at war with the empire as well, and the AIF will likely assist once relations with the Equiis Pact are mended. If the whole Federation doesn't help, then you can be sure us Dolphins will. It really is sad, how violence is required for freedom. It should be a common right for everyone, not just those fortunate enough to be born into a free nation."

Human-Kaiyou Connection Research
So far, genetic studies are still not in its peak stages, but archive studies have revealed one, massive revelation so far: a "small" project dubbed "7128-2810", or simply "Theo". The project dates to over 4,000 years ago, and resulted in the proof that contact with the human race have been already been made ages ago, but so far, its biggest impact was the creation of a huge cult following, a huge contribution to the human concept of "religion". The details is as follows.

Project 7128-2810 was a small experiment on the topic whether it was possible to accelerate a civilization's technological evolution by direct magical telepathic communication. (Telepathy is rarely used today due to the dominance of communication devices, though it can still prove useful, but only ranges up to stratospheric levels.) Theo was performed on a certain racial group of Middle-Eastern men in slavery, closely studying their language and using simple language to escort the slaves into freedom while directly sending a single soldier to slay certain members of the masters of the oppressed (event dubbed as the Passover). The freed men were then instructed certain tasks to ensure their self-independence, leading to the establishment of what was called Israel. Due to the corrupt tendencies of the newborn nation decades later, a diplomat, named as Yeshua or Jesus (actual Makudan name: Domeren Erdaz) by a female local whose memory was altered into thinking the diplomat was her child, was sent down to restore order, but was wounded while attempting and then was beamed up back. The project was abandoned later due to the seemingly impossible attempts to advance them, but the huge long-term impact of creating a culture that gradually unified the rest of human civilization through its course of advancement was not found out until now. Humans attempted to keep the events in memory through the creation of a collection of books named the Bible, but compared to the actual events in the Makudan archives, the records are quite inaccurate, with over 45% being fabricated due to human demand of explanations of numerous events within and before the project's timeline. As for the reason how the observation got into the Milky Way galaxy despite the Makudan still being in the Triangulum, data about that was somehow corrupted from the age of the machine carrying the data.

((Possible Common Sense War incoming. Oh boy here we go.))

((Nope))

Above that world they call OPPlanet just cause they're party crashers and they're tailing them...

3 Seeder Ships fold in behind the alien's fleetships, and once more, it is apparent that they are pissed and ready to steal any planet they possibly can from those who had killed their brood-brothers. They accelerated as fast as they can (which is quite fast for a ship that size) and aimed only to wreak havoc by ramming through any ships they can on their way to orbit, and then by the speediest gassing of the planet as possible.

AIF Contact
"We were apart of the first wave of colony ships that were equipped with Warp Drives. However we hit some sorta of anomaly and ended up in a entirely new galaxy. We formed the Lance Empire and began expanding and building our new empire. Also while we will be glad to open up relations and trade with you we all agreed that if we were to meet you again we would strictly retain our independence."

"What if we absorb the Equestrians? That would end this mess."
"They would not accept the greater good, it would be harder to turn them than it was to turn the Saeva Simius"
"I think they would, in time. What if we crippled their empire?"
"You aim to achieve peace through war?"
"It may be necessary, start a smaller war to prevent a larger one."
"Tell me, how is this a smaller war?"
"If the AIF fail, and Equestrians and the Makudan go to war, the humans will be dragged in. Then us. The Sazkarjhit will be in, the other races of the Equiis pact, maybe even the Hach. But if we moved and had Spectre cripple them..."
"Then the Equestrians will be too weak to start a war..."
"And too busy, we have Spectre plant some evidence and have the Equestrians chasing their tail for the next cycle."
"A fair plan, but what of the Makudan?"
"We would need more time, but we could try and do the same to them."
"It carries too much risk, if it goes wrong we would be dragged into a war. Besides, the extra-dimensional being they call 'Faust' would not allow it, we'd have to send Deuscidium with them."
"Indeed, and even if we succeeded the Equestrians wouldn't let us get away with that, they would be bound to notice."
"Obviously. We don't understand their talent, but their 'magic' might be weakened if we did that, and they would notice that within an instant, and then we get dragged into a war."
"And if we failed, Faust would simply tell the Equestrians or even attack us outright. Have you even seen an attack from an extradimensional being?"
"No, I have not."
"They vary, but all are equally destructive. Engaging Faust would be counter productive at this time. It is better to simply hope for the best."
"So we wager an entire war on the fate of a dice roll?"
"There are other things we see, let our vision not be clouded by shadows and fear"
"Yes, allow us to look towards other advancements"
"What is the status on your project?"
"I'll show you."

Lance Enpire Contact
"Oh, you were the first wave... there's something you should know."
The human stepped closer to the mic, and took a deep breath to relieve the stress.
"There was a war a decade after you left, we called it the Common Sense War. The hundreds of religions began to fight among each other. Initially it was just riots that the police could put down, but then one of the Christian extremist factions got their hands on a nuclear missile and destroyed an entire city. Then the Alliance just broke apart, barracks on Earth became battlegrounds as the members of different religions began attacking their former friends, and in some cases family. The war ended with the destruction of Gliese 581g, and everyone realized what they had done. A doctrine was created, it stated that humans were an inferior species and all beliefs were equal. Recently, that doctrine fell apart and another war started, the Doctrinal Conflict. It too ended with horrific destruction, but this time it was an entire star system. How peace was brought to the factions is highly classified info only the Council and Admirals are privy too, and then only if they get their access approved. Another doctrine was created by the same name as the last, the Common Sense Doctrine. It stated that humans could never be redeemed for the evils they had taken part in, and religions cannot have any sort of leader and must put into their religious texts lines that that promote equality. So far, it seems to be working just fine. Due to your absence, the doctrine does not apply to you. Actually... there's... sorry, I just can't-"
"It's okay, I'll say it" Said the Abh, and the swoosh of a door could be heard as the human left the bridge. "Earth was destroyed by a hostile species. Mars is the new homeworld for us Terrans."

Message to the Makudan and Equiis Pact
"The Allied Interstellar Federation wishes to invite the Makudan and Equiis Pact to send diplomats to the planet Hépíng jiějué for peace talks. It is an old colony of ours that has served as the location of peace talks throughout Terran history, and it is thus considered the most neutral place in all of the Federation. I must tell you that no weapons are allowed on the planet, and military uniforms are considered rude to wear in public places there. Should you choose to accept, Dmitri Saveli will be there to mediate."

Seeder Threat
AIF space has been cleared of the Seeder invasion fleets, but orders have come in to build excessive defenses in the event of another attack. Among these new defenses will be Orbital Antiparticle Stream Cannon (OASC) emplacements. These will essentially be huge orbital particle accelerators placed around stars that produce antimatter using captured solar material. Once an enemy fleet enters the system, they will fire the antimatter using the accelerator, creating a stream of antimatter headed towards the target at relativistic speeds. Construction ships have already been sent to begin construction of these platforms.

ATS Frybar, Transport Assignment
Plumes of hot plasma rocketed out of the ship's drive systems as it reached the halfway point, beginning the month long slowdown burn. Normally a warp pulse would be employed for such a routine interplanetary mission, but the properties of the cargo being carried were unknown and a warp pulse might destabilize it. Therefore, subwarp propulsion was being used for the transport between Europa and Mars. However, ten minutes into the burn the Yuanon being carried suddenly changed somehow. It turned into a beautiful cloud of blue light that engulfed a thousand kilometers. The bridge lost all communications with the cargo bay as the ship entered the other universe theorized to exist and provide the Yuanon it's power. The ship's shields were brought up, and inspection drones were launched within the bubble to asses the damage. The ship had been pulled into another universe, but this universe was nothing like the one they knew. There was simply nothing there that the scanners could detect, not even radiation. One of the inspection drones hit the shield on it's way to the cargo bay, identifying that it was unprotected. it took a picture of the damage, and the crew was shocked by it.

The cargo bay was no longer three-dimensional, it was completely and entirely flat. Not like a piece of paper, it was truly two-dimensional. There had been ten people working in it at the time, and whatever death they had could not have been pleasant. The shield was the only thing keeping the ship together, apparently cutting it off from the rest of the alien universe. The Yuanon was off to the left of the ship, and it re-entered it in an attempt to get home. It was expelled fifty kilometers to the right of where the accident occurred, right into the Jupiter-Mars civilian Krasnikov tube. The cargo bay just ceased to exist the exact moment it entered the 'normal' universe, and the fore and aft sections rocketed through the tube and were expelled in a highly elliptical orbit above Mars. The aft section fired multiple towing cables at the fore section, allowing it to pull it towards the target space station. Once an interview with the crew had been completed, international news channels operated by Federation-based networks got a bit of he story. The following is a section of that broadcast.

"A high-security Abh transport was broken in half during a subwarp transport mission in the Sol system! The ship was carrying sensitive research data and objects from Europa to Mars, and one of the sensitive objects caused some sort of anomaly to appear inside the starship. The crew claims that they were transported to an alien universe, what's more, they claim that universe only had two dimensions! They even have a name for this strange universe: Fath, which translates to Plane Space. All the info that has been released about the object that caused all this is that it has been named a 'Yuanon', and is a fourth neutrino 'flavor'. The ten closest inhabited systems to Sol have sent reports stating that clouds of light similar to the one produced by this 'Yuanon' have appeared in their systems as well, apparently having laid dormant for billions of years. Modern shielding technology seems to create a 'space-time bubble' in Plane Space, allowing ships to travel through it unharmed. New updates as situation develops."

Peace Talks
The decision to get involved within the talks were unanimous among the council members, including Retsukuu herself who is now in stable mental condition. The necessary representatives will be as follows:

Aeternal Deroe Nodus
Aeternal Odometus Isvel
Supreme Admiral Isse Dev
High Diplomat Foren Esi
High Diplomat Trei Dis

- All Aeternals represent the governing body of the Makudan.
-The Supreme Admiral will represent the entirety of the Makudan armed forces.
-High Diplomats represent the civil sector.

Peace Talks((Both))
The Equiis Pact has agreed to send diplomats, and promises said diplomats will remain civil. The Lance however, after having heard about the conflict, request that the peace talk be held in on one of there planets. They have not been involved with any of the parties, making them the most neutral. They are also a peaceful people and are good at keeping the peace, which will make sure the meeting remains civil.
AIF Contact((Lance))
"Tis sad, but I guess all humans can be impulsive at times. On the subject of religion we no longer have any beliefs, we are all athiest. Of course we understand that due to the doctrine that you will still be peaceful towards us regardless. There was only a few diplomats, but we have sent word and are arranging for a meeting with the High Council of our government, which will be better at opening relations then the few of us here."

The Collective has requested to send some of its own to view the peace talks, partly because they genuinely wish to assist, but mostly because they don't trust the Equestrians and wish to keep a close eye on everything they do

Brukkash, Home Planet of the Zurosh Empire:

Rongash quickly walked into the throne room after working on establishing communications with the colonial fleet. "Chieftain, communications established." said Rongash. "Come with me." the Chieftain said to Rongash as both of them walked to the communications room. "Right here, Chieftain." Rongash said while pointing to a specific monitor. Chieftain Dranarg began to enter in a message into the monitor then a moment later he sent it.

Message to the Muzmeg:

This is the Chieftain, communications established. I'm glad to hear that the fleet is still intact and continuing on with its mission as planned. Also, I would like a complete list, including details, of the events that have occurred during our period of no communication. If there are any requests for reinforcements, resources, etc. now would be the time to ask.

Aboard the Muzmeg:

"Incoming message from Brukkash, Overlord." said one of the Grunts. Overlord Thakva read the message from the Chieftain. "Send the list and tell the Chieftain we don't require anything at this time." Thakva said to the Grunt.

Mars:

Overlord Mogor motioned for one of the Orcs stationed at the command post within the square to come to him. "Contact President Dmitri and deliver this message." said Mogor before handing the Orc a message on an electronic device.

Message to President Dmitri:

Greetings, this is Overlord Mogor. I have recently sent a message to the supreme leader of the Zurosh Empire. He will more than likely want to contact you about numerous different topics, so whenever you are available I can set up a meeting between our two nations.

Equiis Pact Peace Talks
Due to inactivity, Sazkarjhia is withholding on sending any such diplomat. Due to their limited involvement in any sort of contact they believe that they do not need to throw themselves into the fray. However, To help other Pact diplomats small security forces will be dispatched to serve as escorts.

"Sir, we have detected signals worthy of report emanating from a sector. I report unidentified species making contact with the humans. I am detecting minor psionics readings, factoring in distance, it would suggest there is something of psionic power comparatively high when contrasted with the norm of other species, and around moderate by our own."
"Deploy a group, request an argutus"
"I obey."

A group consisting of 1 Evocatus, two princeps and two hastati have been deployed to the unknown contact. Upon arrival they begin by simply observing, not seeming to be doing anything but sitting there.

Sazkarjhia Archaeological Registry Index File #904119: People's Military Supreme Commander Barasmus Lano'dum

Barasmus Lano'dum was born October 2050 in the city of Belkaro in the Daramaska Industrial Region. Due to the inhospitable and smoggy conditions of most of the region, he was mostly raised in Gamaria for most of his life. He was shown to be an avid learner, and earned top marks in school; notably in higher maths and language arts. In 2175, he enlisted into the People's Army, and trained to become an officer for the Intraatmospheric Artillery Brigade (IAB, now under complete jurisdiction of the Infantry Brigade). His deadly accuracy and lightning-fast loading crews made him legendary among other Officers. He became a General Officer 1st Class before being moved into the People's Army Long-Range Bombardment Command; controlling the entirety of the IAB as well as other teams responsible for long-range cover. He was briefly moved into Cadet Training Command before finally being put as the Grand Commander of the People's Army in 2095. He led several successful operations and made the PA one of the fiercest military forces in all of Sazkarjhit-controlled space. In 2120, he was deemed Supreme Commander of the Sazkarjhia People's Military.

Personality-wise, Barasmus was known to be a, no pun insisted, loose cannon and would often jump to conclusions. This would change greatly once entering the IAB, but, for the most part, he was rash and made bold and sometimes ludicrous decisions. However, he was known to be skilled and talented, and with childhood training from his grandfather, became a crack shot with a handgun. The People's Army changed him greatly. He entered an intelligent and skilled-yet rowdy and boisterous teenager, and became one of the most legendary and respected officers in Sazkarjhit history.

His relationships vary from person-to-person, he was a close friend of Damwar Suar'kum's before his untimely demise, and often respected his decisions. Reports indicated that it was Lano'dum, however, that executed him atop Mount Karbor in 2148. To Fakeem Suar'kum, Barasmus acts in a fatherly/grandfatherly fashion. He behaves as a mentor, and is less gruff and serious around Fakeem as he is around his superiors. He's known to act in favor of Sazkarjhia, and thus to other races he either lifts them up with praise and kindness, or bores down on them with heavy amounts of disdain. The Domi of the Zonanese he is known to especially dislike, calling them "crude" and "borderline-xenophobic" based on how they act around and treat Sazkarjhit.

Overall, he is an exceptional soldier and an excellent leader. And will continue to lead forth one of the most powerful militaries in the galaxy with his talent and wisdom.
