10:00. The streets of Gladenapolis, Eusht, Egloera Solar System
The city of Gladenapolis, the capital city of the entire Egloera solar system. The city was built atop emerald hills of grass and is truly a fully modernised marvel. Its wonder is matched by the backdrop of monumental waterfalls which have helped shape the city to what it is today.
The climate these waterfalls brought were of great importance, but they were also influential when it came to architectural designs as the vast majority of buildings incorporate the aesthetic elements of water and waterfalls, as well as the lush greenery they provide.
The skyline is crowded with impressive skyscrapers, hologram billboards, all kinds of aircraft and they have aspects which represent their past, present and future. Daily life isn't too stressful in Gladenapolis and it has attracted a lot of attention. Various cultures have left their mark not just on education, but also of the city's identity. What historically was a city of no variation has grown into a multicultural hub and it's this that unites the 13 million people to this day.
It's this multicultural identity that has truly left its mark. Hundreds of bakeries, gastropubs and cafés offer a plethora of culinary choices and those who feel hungry for something else can enjoy dance, adventure sports, sightseeing or one of the many other recreational venues.
A hologram clock on the top of a tower struck ten o'clock in the morning. A loud buzz can be heard even from miles away, and citizens have begun to stop what they were doing and stared at a huge screen under the hologram clock. Everyone knew ten o'clock indicated that it was time for the national news program.
"Good Morning everyone, I'm your today's host - Prat Michael... For anyone who follows the news regarding the peace conference between factions that everyone was talking about recently, it seems that there is a respond now." Prat turned to his second page, while everyone was looking at him quietly. "After much consideration, Abril Daera - The Head of Foreign Minister, will be representing Egloera Federation to go to The Earth as one of the "witnesses" of the conference alongside with other neutral nations."
The people watching the news did not listen until the end. Instead, they started to whisper to each other about the good and bad things of sending a "non-human" to represent the federation. Some agreed and some did not, but the government's decision was final.
"And right next, the protesters at the Eam II Planet...." The news reporter continued to deliver the next news, but the crowd gathered in front of the big screen was already gone.
14:22. The Foreign Affairs Department, The Arc Citadel, Gladenapolis, Eusht, Egloera Solar System
The Arc Citadel was the official residence and principal workplace of the government and The Emperor himself. The citadel was located right in the middle of the city and it has been the residence of every ruler of Egloera Federation since the nation was formed by The First Emperor Jatch Rolsalhu thousand years ago. The Arc Citadel only allowed government personnel to enter until few hundred years ago, several tourist areas were built with spectacular and huge sculptures of the nation famous heroes and fancy decorations for the visitors to take pictures with.
Inside one of the office rooms at the foreign affairs department, was a female Asaci species alien sitting in front of her desk, quietly looking at a hologram newspaper on a big screen. The silent was broke with a few knocks on the door.
"It's me - Irita Selas. May I come in?" A female voice was heard coming from the other side of the door.
"Oh! Yes please." The female Asaci responded, stopped what she was doing earlier.
"Good day, Head of The Foreign Minister - Abril Deara." Irita stepped inside the room and immediately raised her palm to put on her upper right chest, lastly bow down while the palm was still on the chest. Abril did the same to Irita afterwards.
The salute both Irita and Abril did to each other, was a form of salute or greetings that every Egloeran was taught three years after they were born. It was a gesture for the military or government personnel to display respect for each other but civilians can also use it as a greeting. "Did we have to do this every time we met each other...We knew each other for years." Abril joked, acted all annoyed by the salute thing she did just now.
"You know it was compulsory for everyone right?" Irita answered fairly.
"Sure." Abril disappointed as Irita never get her jokes. But Abril has no time to argue about this matter as they both were going to be on a special mission. "So, I assumed that you too received the order from the above?" Abril sat down in her chair again and invited Irita to do the same.
"...That I owe the pleasure to go to the Earth?" Abril grabbed a letter from her desk. "Why me?I mean... Won't it be better if we send a Terran to the conference since Egloera Federation is technically a Terran empire?" She continued with a confused expression on her face.
"Sure. We can send Debera to the conference, but we are a neutral nation with different species living together." Irita replied while walking around the room. "What I meant was, by sending you to the conference we just proved that we trusted xenon and really hoped for a peace between two factions."
Abril did not mean to disobey any orders from the above, she was just simply curious. The departure time was less than two hours which means she has no time to ask questions. "You're going to do just fine. We were just invited to be one of the witnesses of the conference so you really didn't have to worry about anything. In fact, I'm the one who is going to escort you... What could possibly go wrong?" Irita joked before she saluted Abril once again and left the room.
15:50. Royal Valiant Force Military Spaceport, Delto Point, Eusht.
"All personnel departuring to The Earth, please gathered at Port 2-1. I repeat..." The announcement for the spacecraft departuring to The Earth signaled that Abril should be at Port 2-1 now. She brought only a few clothes with her, and a identity card for her during the stay on Earth.
Abril went up to the gangway and queued with a few other government personnel and escort soldiers, waiting to be seated into the spacecraft - RVF Endeavour. "Abril..." Abril turned around to find the source of the voice, and Irita Selas was standing near the control room for the spacecraft. "The emperor himself asked me to thank you, as for the sake of representing our nation." Both of them saluted to each other.
"Long live the emperor... So, are you going to stay beside me during the peace conference?" Abril was finally able to sit down and relax in her seat after spending a whole hour to prepare for this trip.
"I hope. I don't think the conference will allow soldiers or escorts to enter since conference tend to keep out soldiers as a "sign of peace". Irita spoke. As they were catching up with each other, the ship finally embarked and fly towards their new destination - The Earth.
last thing to finish my short IC. I was wondering if only government knew the conference, or maybe everyone knew but only government really knew the details of the meeting like places times etc...
Name: Steven Schantz ------------------------------------------------------------ Gender: Male ------------------------------------------------------------ Age: 17 ------------------------------------------------------------ Drawn Number: 20. ------------------------------------------------------------ Appearance: Perhaps it had something to do with sleeping in a small room for a decade, but Steven had always been small and skinny for his age. Steven is olive-toned, which fits his adventurous personality. He also had a thin round face, with short black hair, and a pair of brown eyes. He always wore a glasses when he was outside, but he always liked to run around a lot and because of that, most of the time he will run and fall down, breaking his glasses and will be punished by his parents if he did. ------------------------------------------------------------ Backstory: Steven lived with both of his parents in the town ever since he was a baby, with his father a chef and her mother a full-time housewife. Steven's father owned a small restaurant near their home. Steven helped his father most of his childhood time, starting at the age of seven. He never asked for anything in return mainly because he likes to cook. Another reason was that Steven did not relate well to the people of his age, or maybe he did not relate well to anyone which.
Steven hated the school and exams system, he hated that one will only be called "genius" if one passed his maths and sciences with flying colours. Steven was not a smart student, but he sure scored well during the physical test and sports competitions. Steven got into first place for a few sports several times, and he would give all his prizes money to his parents, never asked for anything in return.
One day, his mother received a letter from Issen High School, regarding about Steven has not yet given a clear answer whether he would go on the annual trip with the school. Steven's parents surprised him by paying all the expenses for the school trip, hope that he still can enjoy his high school life even he has not many friends. ------------------------------------------------------------ Bio: Steven likes to cook, play sports, and he is adventurous. He always likes to try new recipes and experiments to help with his father's restaurant menus. Steven organises and systematise the world around him, establishing appropriate plans, identifying and implementing the correct procedures, and then endeavouring to make sure they are followed. ------------------------------------------------------------ Others: Steven is prone to scratching his head when he is bored.

I would assume most human nations are clustered in that general area, with Xeno and other nations set up around it or are way off. Also to note that there's a big ol belt of NPC states wedged between the Terran and Xeno players.
is the "Terran Federation" your territory @Serpentine88 or do every terran nation should be in that particular location?
I wonder if the Minotaur Armada should sent a representative too? A subhuman one at that?
Since it's technically a good ideal to have peace between various human factions.
Yup. You should join too. We encouraged players to join the peace conference or the exhibition thing on the same planet. When the conference takes place, players will all have the same plotline afterwards which is a good thing.
Does anyone want to post their pre-gathering IC before the real peace conference take place? I'm still working on my first IC thou. Let's blame each other for the betrayal and casualties in the peace talk *Terran evil laugh* ----- yeah I'm going to create a few semi-important characters for the massacre.
