  1. While Borya is not the worst pick for the position, I think he can be somewhat dogmatic in what he sees as the best possible way to do something. Be that as it may, he probably is not a bad choice.
  2. It would take a pointless eternity to go over everything that has happened in the last two years, so I will simply say this complaint is no longer necessary.
  3. I am going to deny this canonization application. My deputies and I are in agreement that this does not fit the past and current themes of the techno-conglomerate. However, some parts of this may be used in future detailing of their lore. Thank you for your application.
  4. I am going to accept this with the following verdict: they will likely be integrated as a loose member of the Coalition of Colonies, and I will have a discussion with my deputies as to their opinions on how this should be done. Thank you.
  5. The lore reasons for these prices no longer exist and they should be lowered to something more reasonable.
  6. After months of debate in one of the longest Representative Summits in the Frontier Alliance’s history, the members of the Alliance has adopted a resolution to fundamentally change the name and nature of the Alliance, toward a more solidified governing system. Now headed by a Chief Representative, the newly-chosen Reilly Sianne of the new capital Xanu Prime, the Coalition of Colonies looks inward as debates continue to take place over what place an overarching government has in the frontier. With new threats from the Empire of Dominia, the Sol Alliance, and Izweski Hegemony, along with increases in piracy, rebellion and terrorism across the frontier, the calls for a firmer hand seem to have won a small victory. After the dissolution of the Free Assembly party, the remaining four major parties in the Coalition, the Liberal Party, Party for a Secure Coalition, Zaurghisian Free Party, and the Coalition Alliance of Labor have all failed to secure a governing majority. Only time will tell how well these parties will work together in the coming year.
  7. PEACE ON ADHOMAI: PRIME MINISTER FROST LIFTS TAJARA BAN At last, peace on Adhomai! Today Prime Minister Frost announced that he, with the assent of the legislature, would be signing a bill lifting the Second Tajara Ban. It has been a busy month for the newly-elected Prime Minister from the Human Unity Party with over thirty bills being signed into law, the majority of them with cooperation from Senate Minority Leader Roon of the Sol First Party. “For the first time in over a century, we are making ardent steps toward reforming our corrupt, inefficient government. For the first time in over a century, two opposing parties have found common ground, and we will push forward together to bring reform that will forge a new Alliance, a new shining beacon for all of humanity to unite under,” remarked the Prime Minister today at the signing. In the past four months, a great deal of change has happened in the political landscape. Four parties vie to direct the Alliance forward: Prime Minister Frost’s Human Unity party, which pushes to unite all of human populated space under the Solarian government again, and Senate Minority Leader Thomas Roon’s Sol First party, which aims to guarantee Sol the highest quality of life in the galaxy. Alongside them are two smaller parties, the System Freedom Party led by Representative Chambers of the Artesia System, and the Reform Party led by Senator Benekr of the Silversun System. For those readers who haven’t quite kept track of the myriad developments in the political landscape in the past four months that led to former admiral and hero Michael Frost being chosen as Prime Minister by the newly-ascendant Human Unity Party, it is hard to decipher the individual changes that led to one of the largest shifts in politics since the Crisis of the 22nd Century. Needless to say, the Alliance of Sovereign Solarian Nations certainly seems to be entering a new era of much-needed bipartisan change and reform.
  8. As the person responsible for the current population figures, I think my input may be relevant here. With that said, I am putting the practical lore considerations of what it would mean to change these aside to say the following: that the current amounts are by most considerations of myself, my deputies, and the past human lore staff I worked with, a low figure compared to what would be possible population-wise, especially compared to those that they replaced. For my brief example: look at the world population in 1900 - 1.65 billion. In 2000, 7 billion. With a desire to avoid dragging myself back into the population growth math and statistics debate, I would like to argue that these figures are very reasonable as is and could easily be greatly increased without straining belief.
  9. It's been a long time waiting since I put this on hold, but I am accepting this today in light of some on-going changes being made. Caveat is that some major changes may be made to this in during implementation. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to dm me.
  10. Right, thank you, pardon my forgetting to respond to this. The issue with the concept is that currently extra factions are not being added for a variety of reasons; something like this would have to be considered part of one of the current major entities in the setting. How would this best be incorporated into either the Empire or the Frontier Alliance?
  11. Hello, thank you for your lore canonization app. I think the concepts and ideas here are interesting and worth looking into. However, before diving deep into this, one thing I would like cleared up just in case I'm misunderstanding something here: Do you see this being included as part of the Frontier Alliance, or as its own independent, new faction?
  12. Thank you for your application. It was a tough decision, but on feedback from others, I have chosen the other applicant. Please feel free to apply again in the future, as it was a hard choice to pick between you two.
  13. Thank you for your application. A question related to what Coalf has said - where can human lore be consolidated or simplified to make it more accessible? Is it worth doing so at the cost of detail in order to form a more coherent narrative for these factions and human lore as a whole?
  14. Well, I've been reminded I said I was going to open the second slot and forgot to open it. Feel free to apply with an essay on any topic in human lore, or one of the previously suggested ones.
  15. 2461.10.12 Battleship Moroz Launched Today the first pair of massive doors at the Imperial Naval Arsenal opened to reveal a newly-constructed battleship, hundreds of meters in length, to the public. Asserted to be unrivaled in size and power, little substantive information on the ship itself has been released by the Imperial Naval Staff. Several thousand men alongside vehicles and equipment were seen boarding the ship before launch. Countless gun turrets and hangars dot the ship, which is adorned by a huge gilded plasteel prow. Speculation exists as to the contents of the other slipway at the Arsenal, still strictly guarded by the Navy. Admiral Lingxin Zhao, a veteran of the Imperial frontier, formally took command of the ship at the launch ceremony. In command of the ship’s marine contingent is Colonel Johan Strelitz, another veteran of the Imperial frontier. As the now-largest ship in the Imperial Navy it is assumed that the hulking battleship, named the Moroz, will take the role of flagship after its trial period. His Imperial Majesty Bolesław Keeser addressed the Empire later this evening saying, “It has always been, and will remain, the position of my government that the sovereignty and safety of the Empire and its people are our foremost concern. This crowning achievement of our proud military is just one step of many that we will take to protect our independence, religion, and culture. May the Goddess bless our Empire.”
  16. Contractors save NanoTrasen money. If they were such a risk to hire they wouldn't be hired. I disagree with limiting contractors, especially when it's one specific contractor role from one specific megacorps being targeted. -1
  17. Thank you for your application and please excuse my late reply to it. Having gone over your essay, I have a followup question: Does adding detail to parts of the Frontier Alliance narrow what, until now, has been a very open-ended place for players to create characters from, and is this beneficial if it does?
  18. Thank you for your application and your essay on Elyra. An additional question from me: What should be done to ensure consistency in human lore? It's passed through a lot of hands, and there are a lot of loose ends and now-mistakes present, and whoever is chosen as deputy will be a part of fixing this.
  19. I am opening the second lore deputy slot for human lore. Please include in your application an essay on one of the following topics: - Culture in Human Lore and its purpose - Politics in Human Lore and its purpose - Republic of Elyra (in general) - Frontier Alliance (in general) These essay topics are based upon areas of the lore that the applicant is most likely to be working on. Essays have no minimum or maximum length, use as much or as little as it takes to completely convey your ideas. Include criticism of the current versions of these topics.
  20. Effects of Tajara Ban Continue to Spread In the aftermath of the issuance of a ban on Tajara travel into or outside the Sol Alliance after a terrorist attack by unidentified Tajara in Tau Ceti on a Sol Navy cruiser, the effects of this legislation have come to a slow resolution. Tajara in the midst of travelling through the Sol Alliance were given two weeks to leave the Alliance. Diplomatic officials of the People’s Republic of Adhomai have been permitted travel under escort through the Alliance as they lobby Unity Station to have the ban lifted. Those Tajara who are citizens of states aside from the PRA such as the Republic of Biesel, Empire of Dominia, Frontier Alliance or the Sol Alliance itself are still permitted travel through Sol space after a background check. Dual citizens of the PRA and other states will face a waiting period along with a background check. For Tajara unwilling or unable to leave Sol space, many have turned to the megacorporations for contract work while the ban is being enforced, with those unwilling to work being temporarily interned in a facility on Mars. Those employed by businesses certified in Sol Alliance space are permitted travel if their visas are valid, though newly issued visas require a far longer waiting period to acquire. Many have sought refuge in the Republic of Biesel, with a small facility being hurriedly constructed on New Gibson pending hopes that Unity Station will allow them to return to Adhomai, or that they will be granted asylum in Tau Ceti. Sol immigration officials have attempted to crack down on now-illegal travel by Tajara, with two dozen small craft being interned and their crews detained in line with the ban in an effort to limit the potential of reoffending, with their living cargo being returned to Adhomai. While a small number of shuttles bearing Tajara have been sighted in the Republic of Biesel without a record of their passage through Solarian space, Prime Minister Chater spoke recently saying that additional funding would be granted in an attempt to fully seal Alliance borders against these traffickers.
  21. Consider this application accepted. I will echo what Mofo has said, and hopefully there will be no cause for complaint by anyone in the lore team leading to me to have to take action. Welcome to the cursed lore team.
  22. I'm opening one human lore deputy slot. Applications should answer the following questions in addition to the normal format, as well as any comments felt necessary. What would you change, if you had unlimited power? What part of human lore needs the most work? What part of human lore is your favorite and least favorite? An essay on culture for any of the human factions, min. 2 paragraphs:
