If nobody else wants to do a full vote, I'd at least like a research tiebreaker between engineering and gravitic physics. I'll look into playing through the update soon and writing up the update a bit after that.

The Combine government approached the Republic requesting our assistance against the Darlok Administration, and offered some valuable technical data if we agreed to join the war. Given the fairly heavy legislatural position in favor of 'helping the Meklars in order to ensure the eventual destruction of the Darlok Administration', I accepted this offer.

After Action Report: Initial Engagements in Darlok Space The first three engagements in the Inganok system have shown mixed results for Space Fleet. Temporary Republican occupation has been established on Udun, and the Darlok Administration has lost the border defenses in Inganok, the fortifications at Udun, a battleship, a cruiser, and three frigates, but at the cost to Space Fleet of the scout frigate Benjamin Hornigold and the bombardment cruiser Thunderbolt. An Administration fleet controls the orbit of Udun, with two cruisers and eight frigates in place, while the Peacemaker, Cincinnatus, Huscarl, and Arbalest have begun to retreat back to Republican space for repairs. The George Washington is several years from rendezvous with the main battlefleet. The single largest threat from the Administration battlefleet comes from their most recent generation of frigates- seven of the eight surviving frigates in the known Administration fleet are armed with graviton cannon and have sufficient acceleration to make intercept with Space Fleet forces. Although we assess that we could destroy them in a long-range engagement, the damage suffered by Space Fleet in reducing the defenses of Udun was sufficient that dealing with rapid assault from these frigates could pose a genuine threat. Long-range weapons available to the Administration battlefleet are rapid-reaction guided missiles, which are only a moderate threat, and continuous ion stream discharges which are only a real threat to ships whose shields have fallen. Administration cruisers lack sufficient acceleration to make close-range intercept before taking severe damage from long-range Space Fleet fire. The admiralty hereby recommends, at the very least, approval of appropriations for a general upgrade of Space Fleet armor to the latest collapsed matter standards. Approval of contracts to defense contractors for further development of phased hyperspace cannon and a general design contest for update of Space Fleet designs could independently or in tandem increase the combat effectiveness of existing Space Fleet ships. Contracts for improvement of targeting computer technologies could likewise be of service to Space Fleet.

Rick_Hunter posted:Group our entire fleet together and steamroll the remaining Darloks. Well, we're working on that. We have three frigates detached, but they wouldn't add a huge amount of firepower. Getting the George Washington attached to the battlefleet would help, which we're working on. That said, we've taken fairly heavy damage in the course of the battle for Udun, so taking some time to get the fleet back in shape might be called for. E: Specifically, our detached frigates have picket positions in the Core to try and maintain our territorial claims. nweismuller fucked around with this message at 03:29 on Apr 27, 2017 |

I'll try to have an update up this weekend, or during the first half of the week, but no promises yet. That said- any lorebits people are interested in seeing me explore? I have the longevity thing mulling in my mind, but I'm not sure whether I'm ready to write on it yet- but I will write if I am inspired. If the person who wanted to see that wanted to write their own, I could well approve it as official if it is consistent with established fact in the LP and I'm happy with the quality.

Once you have more time I'm sure you'll get back into the lore mood.

What is the current view of the Darlok war in the republic? Specially taking in account that the Darlok-Republic relationship was warming up. I mean, AFAIK we the thread are basically a secret cabal that pulls the strings of the republic.

These Darloks are prisoners of their own fear and xenophobia. Let us show them there is nothing to be afraid of but fear itself. By liberating the crap out of them with the most modern fleet we can muster. Stormgear fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Apr 27, 2017 |

First off: I am not taking the thread as a secretive cabal, but as representing a cross-section of legislative and corporate decision makers, depending on the particular issue being voted on (i.e., foreign policy and military appropriations are representative of legislative decisions; when I ask about infrastructure development on planets, that's more corporate), and thus as at least partially reflective of popular opinion. All that said... Popular opinion towards the Darlok war is divided. Many in the Republic were war-weary after the lengthy Bulrathi war, and had hoped for a new era of peace- and this war has brought troop landings and the loss of ships. As such, there's a fair amount of grumbling about another war the leadership of the Republic has gotten us embroiled in. That said- very few people had any sort of positive impression of the Darloks. Some stereotyped it as outright totalitarian, which is admittedly misleading. Better-informed individuals still are pretty leery about the fact that the Darlok Administration, although avoiding the worst abuses of totalitarianism, still has little protection for due process and widespread intrusive security surveillance. The most positive attitude towards the Darloks and their Administration that actually had any significant amount of support is that although the Administration is not a fundamentally just regime, that nonetheless they should have an interest in continued peace and that continued peaceful contact should provide a positive example for the Darlok people. There is definitely also an interest by people and firms who wanted to see the economic benefits of trade with the Darloks, which would make life better in the Republic. E: I feel like this wasn't that much of a lore post, honestly, but it's hard to see how to expand on it, so I'm definitely still willing to take suggestions for other things to write on. nweismuller fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Apr 27, 2017 |

Another simple question: what is the percentage of non-human, non-bulrathi populace in the republic? Lorewise, I don't think there is any way to get aliens diplomatically.

I'd estimate it at around a 1% minority of the population, about half of which are Mrrshan, the remainder of which are split between Meklars and Psilons. For varying reasons, immigration from the Klackons and Darloks hasn't really happened.
