It's been a while so is there any way to get Sazkarjhia involved again?
I know there's the action in Nouvelle but nothing's happened there recently so.

Bio
Yes my name is shit, please don't refer to me by it. Just call me Alpha.
I'm mail and my thing is science fiction. If it involves space travel, I've probably looked into it, since that's my big shebang although I am rather fond of cyberpunk and near-future as well. I'm also big on Atompunk, which is essentially taking the nuclear-obsession and Cold War hysteria of the United States from about 1946-1968. Best example of that is the Fallout games (Which, yes, is one of my favorite series of video games).
I'll do other kinds of roleplay but I really like Nation Roleplay, and typically the sci-fi ones since it's fun making new races, tech, etc. As a result I do like me certain empire-building RTS's and 4X games, like Civilization, Rise of Nations, O.R.B., (And maybe Sins of a Solar Empire if I had a better computer ;-;).
Feel free to enjoy what I've written, I don't have much since I do this rather casually.

There is a wiki linked in the main post, if you want to dump the apps there.
The Wiki hasn't been updated in like a month
Karboria, Sazkar Major; Secluded Office of the Sar Kartek de Sarwun (Grand Vessel of Zarwaun)
Urwan sat on a chair, looking through the bay windows that looked over the city of Karboria, and the peaks surrounding Mount Karbor in the distance. The powered doors to her study slid open with a hiss, and footsteps--accompanied by a loud metallic CLUNK every few seconds--as the doors eased closed. The young Grand Vessel swiveled in the chair, to see a well-built Sazkarjhit man in dark-gray robes with red trim, holding what seemed to be a large, and ornately designed, stone and carbosteel cudgel.
"Honorable Vessel of Mazdabar Pumar'kum, I trust you received my message." she remarked rather nonchalantly.
Vessel of Mazdabar Tumari Pumar'kum served for many years in the Peoples' Military, and yet something about the woman's actions still made him feel threatened. While Urwan Garama'kum was younger and by far much weaker, she still was imposing. A staff that adorned the five-pointed spear of right was resting near the chair, and it almost seemed to crackle with life.
"Well you certainly weren't subtle about it." Tumari chuckled nervously. Grand Vessel Garama'kum had sent him several messages with the same request: Meet me in my private study as soon as possible, we have very important matters to discuss.
Refusing a message from his superior, especially one with as much awesome and holy power as the Grand Vessel, would seem treasonous and, to an extent, suicidal in itself. Regardless, Vessel Pumar'kum put on his best poker face and asked, "What do you request of me, Honorable Grand Vessel?"
She chuckled slightly. Did something amuse her? Did she feel empowered? Tumari couldn't be certain. "You know...Tumari...when we first were able to sail the endless expanse of space, we had a simple goal in mind, it was something put out by one of our Kumello clansmen many generations ago, do you remember what it was?"
"Help develop the Sazkarjhit way of life and further our endeavors for the betterment of our species?" he asked innocently. He knew what she was referring to, and he was hoping he could derail the subject.
"Do not be so coy, Vessel of Mazdabar." her tone changed, she seemed annoyed.
Tumari sighed, and shook his head. "That if any race that had come to view of the Sazkarjhit regime should see the true ways of creation, and follow the Path of Divine Right to acquire transcendence to the holiest planes of existence. More or less." he croaked.
The Grand Vessel chuckled again. "Yes, something like that." she remarked.
"I want to assume you see something in Nouvelle, Grand Vessel."
"Indeed I do. I see a primitive race of ex-Terrans who need to be developed in some sort of way to help them grow."
"And what about the terms of the treaty put out by the Eternal Union?"
Urwan scoffed, again sounding annoyed. "Regardless of how structured it is, their ways cannot be indoctrinated. They need to see a better way of life, and their own religious system will not help them. They thought our soldiers were angels for the gods' sake!"
Vessel Pumar'kum sat down in a chair nearby, resting the hammer-staff, he used his other hand to rub his temples in front of his horns, feeling them throb. "Grand Vessel, Nouvelle is currently becoming a hive for all of these warring empires, and with one fleet there already under pressure, attempting a religious crusade would cause even larger issues. Who's to say that this...Queen of theirs wouldn't organize her own army against us?"
The Grand Vessel laughed, or more so cackled, upon hearing his words. "Honorable Vessel, do you really find their military at all formidable? You saw from those reports, those videos from the marines. They still use gunpowder, compared to our military might their technology is a joke. That Queen can send soldiers en masse, but a single Trikolo-Class Destroyer could wipe out half of that land in a few hours. You are a vessel of the Belligerent One, you should be aware of this."
"I am aware of this Urwan, and excuse my vulgarity but I am busting my ass to prevent an interstellar incident and keep PNSS Might of a Thousand Suns from laying waste to that frontier region!" he was at first only tense, but he was barring his teeth, and had an iron grip on the hammer.
"And yet look how long it has taken for them to even get the damned thing off of the ground. But you have to understand, Tumari, if we can get a hold on Nouvelle, we have access to a pivotal joint that lets us be more powerful than these other empires. And to spread His word!"
The Vessel of the God of War scoffed. "Even for who I am, Urwan, if your father saw you like this he would be disgusted."
Urwan's annoyance had begun to evolve into rage. "Don't you dare bring my father into this! He would have done exactly what I am to do!" she shouted.
"These mass-conversions are barbaric, and behind us! Urwan, don't you understand what's put at stake if we go all willy-nilly and anger these other empires? We could be seeing catastrophic results, even the destruction of our homeland!"
The Grand Vessel held up her hand. "Enough! We are going through with this and that's final! By the power vested in me, I am taking executive action and commanding you to do as I say! Am I clear, Tumari?!"
Executive action. Very rarely does a Grand Vessel take such action (Even in a dictatorial oligarchy like Sazkarjhia) for their own whims. Pumar'kum realized that she still had an immense amount of political power, and there was little he could do. Defeated, he agreed. He rose from his seat, took the hammer and walked to the door, as it hissed open he cocked his head and whispered a quote from Declarations, one of the books of the Seven Divine Scriptures.
"Su Karakat yuran takon do Weran e Meran."
"For Tyrants always fall to Pride and Hubris."
Shaking his head, seeing the fire glint in Urwan's black eyes, he walked out the door.

It's alright Kyelin, I'm sure many of us didn't know you had to go through all that. If you don't come back it's fine, but all of us wish you good luck and hope you can get back on your feet soon.
((Very, VERY sorry for the late response, I've been caught up in a lot of things))
Nouvellian Frontier, Near Mining Town of Cherac
The sudden appearance of this flying object was a little to close to Might of a Thousand Suns and the nearby Rakora-Class corvette, and within minutes a high-alert emergency dispatch was sent throughout the destroyer. A series of the ship's magnetic accelerator cannons trained their coiled barrels on the target, while a trio of AV-1 Furosi Fighters lurched out of the launch bay to intercept the vehicle. Upon reaching it, two of the aircraft aligned themselves with the airship's flanks, and the third aircraft settled behind it, adjusting their engines swiveling to vector the thrust of the J4 HyperJet Engines. The rear aircraft armed its six autocannons while two heat-seeking missiles mounted on hardpoints under the wings acquired a lock.
Might of a Thousand Suns sent a message from hull-mounted loudspeakers. The Sazkarjhit vernacular was translated to the Nouvellians' own using a crude translation software.
"This is PNSS Might of a Thousand Suns, envoy of the Peoples' Navy of Sazkarjhia. While we respect your duty to uphold the law and to protect your citizenry, for your own sake we strongly recommend you do not interfere with planetside operations. We are conducting survey work while we get support to lift off and get back into orbit. Keep in mind that even while our numbers are small, the three Furosi assault aircraft surrounding you are formidable enough, but attempting any action that can be considered threatening and thus cannot be reconciled, and this heavily-armed destroyer will open fire under military operating guidelines put forth by Honorable Vessel of Mazdabar Pumar'kum and by extension the Peoples' Military of Sazkarjhia."
Hollie, Capital City of Nouvelle
The white-suited delegate, an Ambassador Runton Warkan'tum, extended his hand in greeting. "We thank you for the warm gesture," he said cheerily. "Yes, please, let us make haste. I'm sure there are many questions that your wonderful Queen has to ask us, as much as our holy Vesselage has to ask you. Alliances and economic dealings and whatnot can be addressed. If you would please lead us to your monarch."

What even happened I've been so inactive and I have no idea what's going on ;-;
I know I haven't posted in a while (Midterm exams this week so don't expect it here either, sorry ;-;) but I will give total fleet count:
There are 25 active fleets (They change intermittently, hence the reason some go as high as 35) in the Peoples' Navy of Sazkarjhia, each one is usually composed like so:
1 Marku-Class Battlecruiser
12 Trikolo-Class Destroyer
24 Darbor-Class Heavy Frigates
12 Manumar-Class Light Frigates
16 Rakora-Class Corvettes (Deployable variants onboard certain ships to provide planetside assault/SAR operations)
15 Specialized Ships, including:
Pulsar-Class Electronic Warfare Destroyer
Samani-Class Prowler
Surdatan-Class Supercarrier (There are only 5 as they are mostly prototypical, and are extremely large and resource-hungry)
Outreach-Class Diplomatic Vessel
Sovereign-Class Hospital Vessel
PNSS Voyage to Divine Ascendance (Flagship of the Supreme Fleetmaster of the Peoples' Navy. Part of the Capital Fleet and the most powerful--and expensive--ship constructed)
With a shipcount of 80 ships to a fleet, that brings total size to about 2,000 ships, which is fitting as Sazkarjhia is a military-focused bunch of religious zealots with waaaay more metal than it needs.

Because there seems to be difficulty in remembering the names of Sazkarjhit objects, let's get basics out so people remember:
Name: Sazkarjhia
Demonym: Sazkarjhit
Religion: Zarwaunism
Deities Referred to in Zarwaunism:
Zarwaun - Supreme Being, Father of The Universe -- Grand Vessel Urwan Garama'kum
Mazdabar - Belligerent Being, Father of the Sword, Harbinger of War -- Honorable Vessel of Mazdabar Bortag Pumar'kum
Markura - Matriarchal Being, Mother of Nature and Maternity -- Honorable Vessel of Markura Linya Merana'bum
Oparas - Fortunate Being, Mother of Fortune and Misfortune -- Honorable Vessel of Oparas Raskara Ymar'gum
Markarapas - Commercial Being, Mother of the Coin and Commerce -- Honorable Vessel of Markarapas Ararin Yarin'tum
Yuturata - Working Being, Father of the Forge and Flame -- Honorable Vessel of Yuturata Burek Orak'dum
Lots of fancy words I know, but just there for reference
