Do I read correctly the NAU just demonstrated their Meson weapons by firing at Lake Leman?
As you they fired their weapon at another Sovereign Nation to serve as a demonstration?

[/OOC]

Admin OOC - I kinda was wondering the same thing.

[Bughunter]

OOC - On top of that the most peaceful and neutral country in the world. Which besides happen to be *very* protective about this lake. I know, I lived in the area for a time and if you so much as threw a paper in the sacred lake.. ouch.. no idea what they would have done to me if I fired a meson cannon on it.. But as a weapon demonstration I think it's brilliant, pure Dr: Evil stuff 

[Sheb (OP)]

OOC - I might have gone overboard there, but yeah, let's keep it canon.  And we didn't fire AT the lake, we just made a bunch of empty air over the lake explode.

Ladies and gentleman

I speak from the FSA War Council.

The FSA needs to make something clear.   We cannot have a unprovoked attack by one side on the other.   We feel that the NAU demands for Russia to remove it bases is unfounded, as if they are truly obsolete, then why threaten to eliminate them.

The FSA missile command, including Trans-Newtonian missiles, are on full standby, any NAU attack on Russia at this time, or a attack on the FSA will result in a full launch of the FSA missiles on targets in the NAU.  If the NAU attacks our sensor station, we will simply aim the missiles at their population.  We withdraw our treaty of ICBM reduction as well.   The NAU must rescind all their demands.  If the NAU dares to even lock on to our sensor base, we will withdraw from the OST.

Akiko Jenson - Vrystaat Vloot (VSV) Attache


Due to the sensitive nature of the last few months, the Admiralty Office of the Vrystaat Vloot (VSV) confirms that the "Deep Sand" PDCs registered as per the UN registration treaty do not contain any Mesons.   Unlike the  Antarctic Mission Control (Registered as Early Bird 001) which is a civilian site, the "Deep Sand" PDCs are military in nature.  The "Deep Sand" bases purposes are classified.

Dear Secretary-General of the United Nations,

The North American Union strongly protests the latest attempt by the rogue government of the Free State Alliance to lay claim to a planetary body of the solar system.  By preventing the North American Union from defending its future colonists on Mars, the FSA is de facto claiming sovereignty over Mars contrary the UN-sanctioned Outer Space Treaty.

We would like you to convene the UN Security Council to allow the presentation by the North American Union to present a Resolution to this effect.  This blatant attempt at 'planet grabbing' cannot be allowed to succeed if we wish the colonisation of the solar system to occur peacefully. We are convinced that the other members of the Security Council will see it our way.

Cordially,

Lorenzo Rosso
President of the North American Union

[Drgong]

Dear North American Union,

Your nation tried to violently attack another nation less then 12 months ago - we make no claim to Mars or Titan, you are free to settle, farm, and mine on Mars and Titan. 

We will defend our existent bases will full measure of our military force.  You have shown that you are unable to work peacefully with other nations, and we will not allow the North American Union to attempt to invade our outposts on Mars or Titan.    We will view any attempt to land ground forces on Mars or Titan without a written treaty to establish the peaceful co-existence of those forces with the established colonies of the Free State Alliance to be a attempt to attack our existent bases and a direct aggressive act on the Free State Alliance.   Non-aligned and Russian Confederation are not under this warning, as they have shown themselves as peace loving nations who the FSA trust to keep their treaty agreements.   

It is no claim made on Mars or Titan, even if the FSA was the first to land on said bodies, and have had uninterrupted settlements, just that we make it clear that it a line that shall not be crossed is landing military forces on Mars or Titan by the NAU. 

If the North American Union is what they claim, a peaceful body dedicated to peace, then act that way.

Free State Alliance , Russian Confederation sign Treaty of Friendship.

The FSA and Russian Confederation signed a treaty of friendship with each other today.   While the details are classified, the FSA senate did confirm a few features.

- A general agreement to not go to war with each other
- to peacefully and quietly deal with issues of mutual concern
- To expand trade and information exchanges between the two powers
- that Russia gains access to FSA bases on Mars and Titan

Given that all nations now own TN sensor platform, I think the UN registry of ships should be updated to include tonnage and speed information of new ships.

[Drgong]

FSA does not mind tonnage - Speed can be sandbagged 

In addition, information can be released up to the "Janes" data-set as well. 

will let Russia Chime in.   

[Sheb (OP)]

I'm willing to keep the database up-to-date for future addition if you want. It'd give a nice info to lurkers.

[Drgong]

Just as a note - I keep a database already as part of my admin duties, so I could post it easily enough.  Just want to see what team Russia has to say. 

[Bughunter]

Any ships leaving earth can just be checked with active sensor anyway I guess so I see no reason not to do this.

[Drgong]

Any ships leaving earth can just be checked with active sensor anyway I guess so I see no reason not to do this.

I will update the registry on Sunday/Monday with the tonnage.   Speed I will let be self-reported or nations reporting the speed observed of other side's ships then.

Nikki De Boer,  Deputy Attache to the UN (Zambia)

We are hereby notifying that our lawyers have determined that construction battalions and garrison units are not "Military" in nature, and are allowed in space.

Thus the ban on garrison Units and Construction Battalions on worlds that hold FSA settlements are no longer viewed as hostile actions.

However, the FSA is reserving the right to inspect any troop transport to confirm that only Garrison units and Construction Battalions are onboard.   For transparency will also allow any party to inspect FSA troop transports as long as the FSA is bound by the Outer Space Treaty.

We will once again ask that the powers open discussion on updating the treaty for the new era.
