  1. Article #10 of the Libération, Révolution et Évolution Arc End of the Libération, Révolution et Évolution Arc Ve'katak Phalanx Announces Participation In Armed Forces Training Exercises! Earlier today Secretary Trasen met with Representative Ta'Akaix'Nalgeretta of the Zo'ra Hive to announce the commencement of wargames with the Vaurcesian Private Millitary Company the "Ve'katak Phalanx" and its associated partners. This is the latest in a series of training exercises started early last month between the Tau Ceti Armed Forces and the People's Republic of Adhomai. Throughout the announcement, which was broadcast from the grandiose meeting halls of Caprice's New Sedantis, Secretary Trasen again stressed the importance of the military alliance between the Zo'ra Hive and the Court of Queens with the Republic. He went on to reiterate the Vaurca importance to the Republic's defence and expressed his strong belief regarding the positive effect such exercises will have on all involved. Following Secretary Transen's announcement, he was then invited to tour the Zo'ra Hive fortress of Dis. Situated not far from the Caprice capital of New Sedantis, Dis hosts the Tau Ceti embassy on the planet and has a critical role to play in Tau Ceti's defense, acting not only as the Hive's military coordination centre but as the storage facility for the ever-important Warforms when not deployed alongside the Armed Forces. The Secretary closed by expressing how pleased he was with the state of the fortress despite the ongoing Phoron crisis and his desire for the Warforms to be able to get more experience now the Republic has a mightier Armed Forces with which to support them. After the tour had concluded spokespeople for the Ve'katak Phalanx and the Biesel Department of Defence released further details regarding the joint exercises. The wargames will take place staggered with the ongoing exercises by the Grand People's Army, with forces expected to rotate between them, and will occur primarily around and within the newly formed defensive fortress, the Zoleth line. Reportedly the primary focus of the exercises is set to be vessel or station boarding and close-quarters combat in urban, jungle, and barren environments. The titular Zo'ra Queen Zoleth herself is to command the Vaurca forces during the exercises. A statement released by her office has expressed her "strongest hopes" regarding the performance of the Tau Ceti Armed Forces and her wishes for "this to be the start of a profound and fearsome military relationship between all involved." All ongoing exercises are set to conclude in three months time. Vaurca Warriors of the K'lax and C'thur Hives are said to be participating in the exercises, but the Hives have not yet responded to a request for comment. Veni. Vidi. Vici. Date: 02/09/2465
  2. Court of Queens unveils new Virtual Reality training program Following the unveiling of a new training program for Ve'katak Phalanx recruits early last month, the Court of Queen's recently founded private military company made a surprise announcement today that has sent shockwaves through much of the Republic's academic community. This announcement regarding the unveiling of what the Court is referring to as the 'fully immersive neural simulation training environment' stipulates that the Hives worked together to create a new Virtual Reality training technology for use by those training in the Veka'tak Phalanx. The Virtual Reality technology of the Vaurca is reported as being highly advanced and has been the subject of intense study since their arrival in the Spur; however, prominent experts throughout Biesel's scientific community have criticized the Hives in the past for their apparent unwillingness to assist in the advancement of the technology. Among the most vocal critics was NanoTrasen University Professor of Biomechanics Dr. Song Xianliang, who made the news after accusing the Zo'ra Hive late last year of intentionally obstructing his research on the topic. Dr. Song has since withdrawn the criticism after Zo'ra researchers published a study in the Biesel Journal of Medical Science elaborating on the difficulties of adapting the Vaurca technology for human biology, but some of his colleagues continued to express skepticism. The unveiling of this reportedly cutting-edge training technology this morning is seen by many as the largest step the Vaurca have taken in sharing this technology with humanity. When questioned regarding why the technology was only being introduced to Ve'katak Phalanx recruits, Court Spokesperson Ta'Akaix'Yil Zo'ra who made the announcement, noted that "whilst this is a truly exciting day for the Hives, there are still monumental technological hurdles that stand in the way of adapting true Vaurcae Virtual Reality technology for wider use in the Spur. This Neural Simulation equipment has for the first time in history, been specifically adapted to work with non-Vaurcesian physiology. The closely monitored environment of the Phalanx allows us to see how the other sapiens of the Spur adapt to the latest developments and measure the effectiveness of the technology in a real workplace environment, whilst ensuring it is safe and effective for the Soldiers training for carrying out complex military operations." While the announcement of this technology has been met with widespread enthusiasm and excitement in academic circles, Vaurca critics across the Republic have expressed concerns about the implications of the technology, either in demonstrations or through the extranet, with some critics positing it as a tool for brainwashing, with one prominent theory accusing the Hives of planning to use the new developments as a way to instill artificial loyalty gaining some online traction. It is unclear at this stage exactly what the "Immersive Neural Simulation Training Environment" will entail; however, the Hive has announced that the roll-out of the technology has already begun and further details regarding its usage will be released later in the month.
  3. Court of Queens announces plans to introduce new Ve'katak Phalanx training program Earlier today, representatives for High Queen Vaur and Queen Zoleth of the Zo'ra Hive announced that the Court of Queens, the largest Vaurca political body in the Spur, will unveil a new training program for non-Vaurca who join the Ve'katak Phalanx. This plan will reportedly be focused on ensuring that the Phalanx remains a quote "attractive option for sapients looking for a highly demanding but rewarding work environment in the fields of Private Millitary Contracting and Security." The Ve'katak Phalanx, also referred to as the "Alliance Phalanx," is a private military company unveiled by the Court and the Private Military Contracting Group three months ago and is currently composed mostly of Vaurca Warriors from across the Spur. With this new announcement, however, the Phalanx is expected to broaden its horizons towards the Spur's other species. A statement released by the Court on their extranet site shortly after the announcement reveals the plan in broad steps, including mentions of the introduction of subsidized healthcare from Vaurca Biotechnicians for Phalanx members, a generous pay package, a "cybernetically-enriched experience to ensure the best performance from all security assets," and garnering the public attention of some researchers from NanoTrasen University, a mention of a new court-developed "fully immersive neural simulation training environment." Additionally, the statement attempts to address concerns raised by the public, with fears of Vaurca militarization having seen the Phalanx subject to small-scale demonstrations across Biesel since its January announcement. The largest of these protests has taken place in New Marfa, with Tau Ceti Times polling showing the majority Elyran population as strongly against the continuation of the Ve'katak Phalanx. A Representative for the Court of Queens who was contacted by the Tau Ceti Times for comment had this to say: We will bring you further details when they are announced.

  5. Rusting is a good player who is passionate about Aurora lore and lore writing. They have my support for this application, and I agree with what they have planned. Having said that, I have to ask you a question about whether you have any plans for the how the K'lax/Hegemony relationship? There has been talk of giving their relationship some developmental love for a while, and I'm interested to hear how you would or would like to approach that element of the Hegemony.
  6. +1 Tsisana is a good command member from what I've seen so far and a great research director. I support this whitelist.

  9. Reporting Personnel: Ta'Akaix'Arch'avaron Zo'ra Job Title of Reporting Personnel: Consular Officer Game ID: cmH-bdqu Personnel Involved: Zack Radetzsky, Executive Officer - Offender Quisuu Su-Ruusi, Head of Security - Offender The Watchmen Who Never Rest - Witness Yumemi - Witness IRU-Eleanor - Witness Secondary Witnesses: N/A Time of Incident: 12:00 Real Time: 0000GMT 3/06/2 Location of Incident: Deck 3 café Nature of Incident: [ ] - Workplace Hazard [ ] - Accident/Injury [ ] - Destruction of Property [X] - Neglect of Duty [ ] - Harassment [ ] - Assault [X] - Misconduct [X] - Other: Exceeding Official Powers, Threat of Murder or Serious Injury Overview of the Incident: This incident began within 15 minutes of my having come up from the living deck and beginning my service as a Consular Officer to the Queens and the Republic. The crew for the shift in question numbered in the single digits, and they had all gathered at the deck 3 café. After getting my affairs in order at the office, I made my way over to the café to join in with the social activities and immediately noticed that the Dionae Warden was staring and generally looking at me with hostility. I attributed this to them being a member of the "Pests of Titan Prime," a Dionae group that has only recently resumed more cordial relations with the Zo'ra Hive after a period of conflict. Due to their circumstances, I ignored the hostility at first. Despite this, however, after I obtained myself a drink, the Executive Officer mentioned that they had been talking about the Vaurca Hiveship Titan Prime. I inquired about the nature of the conversation, and they shrugged it off; but during this, the Warden made a snide remark towards me. A while of idle conversation and chatter later, the Dionae began asking me somewhat snide but earnest questions regarding the Titan Prime situation and my role aboard, which I answered truthfully but did tell them they could drop the pretence. Eventually, however, this escalated into a verbal disagreement between the extremely agitated Warden and myself, where I attempted to correct misconceptions they had been spreading regarding the incident. The Warden stood up and approached me at this point. Despite the movement, the disagreement was progressing in a more productive direction, and the Warden took no violent action. I had hoped to convince them of shared fault regarding the historic incident aboard the Titan Prime when the Executive Officer, standing behind the café bar, drew a ballistic firearm unprompted and pointed it at myself and the Warden, threatening to "blind us both" if we "intended to murder each other." I demanded that he return the firearm to its holster, becoming irritated by this unprompted intrusion and, as I was unaware that the ballistic firearm was non-lethal, even somewhat concerned for my life (though it was still loaded with flash-rounds, which the XO later admitted he chose because he knew it would maim Vaurca and Dionae). He refused. At this point, my attention had mostly shifted to the Executive Officer as the more pressing issue, holding myself and the Warden at gunpoint and demanding the de-escalation of a threat that didn't exist to begin with. I, the Chief Medical Officer, and the Investigator all asked the Executive Officer to put his gun away, but he refused again, appearing more likely to open fire with each passing moment. During this entire incident, the Head of Security Quisuu was present, but instead of intervening with the Executive Officer turned armed gunman, they decided the only action they would take would be to move out of the firing line to apparently give the Executive Officer a clearer shot at us and stand completely silent. The Head of Security only said something when asked by the CMO to "please say something" after several awkward minutes of silence and following prompting by the Investigator, to which they asked softly if the Executive Officer could "not escalate the situation" and then resumed silence. The argument and standoff were only broken up when IRU-Eleanor stepped forward and, due to the Head of Security's lack of action, took it upon themselves to intervene and prevent an escalating conflict. After this, the Executive Officer holstered the firearm and made a number of contradictory remarks about how they "picked the rounds intentionally as they would only harm Dionae and Vaurca" and then how they supposedly never had any real intention to use it. The investigator left when the Warden did, and it was clear they believed the situation had been resolved remarkably poorly. I expressed that I would be filing an incident report regarding being held at gunpoint and the poor performance of the Head of Security. The Executive Officer "formally asked" I leave the Head of Security out of the incident report however I informed them I would be including them. Submitted Evidence: Firearm Drawn: Firearm continued: Discussion after firearm: Unedited transcript: Would you like to be personally interviewed?: [Y] - Yes [ ] - No Did you report it to a Head of Staff or a superior? If so, who? If not, why?: Unfortunately the Horizon's Head's of Staff were the primary cause of the incident. Actions taken: Executive Officer reported to me that they had discussed the issue with the Head of Security and understood that I was going to file a report with the SCC. Additional Notes: N/A
  10. Hi, thanks for applying! This application looks good, and it seems like you have a good grasp on the species, however, we're hoping you can expand the background a bit more. Try to flesh out that second paragraph if you can. It can be challenging to write a fully fleshed out Vaurca background given the nature of the species. Some things we look for that I would consider talking about in it are how Yuta views the C'thur and Zo'ra, what Yuta feels about the Hegemony and humanity and how old Yuta is and how that might shape their views and early life (were they born aboard the Hiveship for example?)
