    General Transmission to all Theians

    We call out to all people of all the Theians moons not to tolerate this terrible violance instigated by the Karthan government. We speak again to the Karthan people - resist your so-called leaders. We are prepared to offer free transport, our capacity permitting, to any who would escape either Kartha or Agamemnon for political, religious, or any other reason, especially as a result of this war. Our exchange, and our homes, are open to you.

    The cities and leagues of Aseio have deliberated and argued, and though we have reached no consensus at this moment, there is an emergening sentiment in the Gathering-At-Dawn that Aseio herself must take a greater role in unmaking this war. Many, such as the city of Arawanorat, have already composed brigades ready to fight this injustice. We call out again to sibling Kartha, relieve us of this burden, and the Agamemnoni of your cruelty, and end this war. It is my hope that, before this issue reaches any consensus in the Gathering-At-Dawn, that we hear from our wise siblings moons. What do the moons of Theia have to say for themselves?

    Elyan Aseio, Orator of the Gathering-At-Dawn

    Prime Minster Rufus's Public Address to Olympia, re-broadcast over interlunar frequencies

    In light of the stubborn commitment of the Karthan leadership to this pointless war, it is with a heavy heart that now I must send the sons and daughters of Olympia into battle. As many of you know, these words are not empty rhetoric for me; I have two daughters in the Air Force, and they are both shipping out to Agamemnon today. Their dedication to our people and to all the people of Theia, their love of this moon and the society we have built, their faith in the rightness of our cause and the sureness of our victory; these thoughts will sustain me in the days and months ahead, as my children and yours show the Karthan government that the moons of Theia will not abide aggressive warfare.

    Olympia uses one point of space to transport 1 army and 1 air force to Agamemnon. They will land in the 99% Agamemnoni area, well away from Karthan artillery, and be brought from there to the front.

    Gaia:

    On the steps of the Imperial Palace, a middle-aged yet strong-looking man known only as Praetor takes the stage in front of several microphones. He is wearing a full-dress military uniform complete with white gloves and a sabre with a gilded hilt. He stands for a moment before begining to speak, with a solemn expression on his face. He looks directly into the camera and begins to speak. "Greetings fellow Gaians, and fellow people of the moons of Theia. While there is no Gaian who needs an introduction, for the rest of you, I am Praetor. I have been discussing the current matter of the assault of our brother civilization Agamemnon by the sinister Kartha for some time now. With the help of my closest advisors and with the recent announcement of Olympian aid, I have decided that it is not only our duty as people and Gaians, but also our chance to affect the future of inter-lunar relations in a positive manner for the future that we Gaians lend our support to the Agamemnoni people during this, their hour of need. To that end I will be leading our troops into battle for the lands of Agamemnon against the Karthan invaders. I have spoken with the Prime Minister of Olympia and have arranged for our forces to be coordinated with his for the purposes of safe landing on the moon of Agamemnon. Once we have landed our troops will work in conjunction with both Agamemnoni and Olympian troops to force the Karthans to surrender. I urge the rest of the moons to help with this effort. Stop all of your trade with Kartha, your money fuels hatred and a putrid bile called destruction. I urge you all to condemn such actions, for there is not one moon amongst us that may rightly stand in judgment of another. May we not enter this new age of discovery in the same way that we each entered the previous one. May we all show the growth and development that led us to be able to reach out to the stars and to contact one another. Finally, may the blood that has been already been shed in this conflict as well as that which is yet to be, remain on the hands of the Karthans as well as in the memories of the rest of us as a reminder of the power and responsibility that we each hold."

    Gaia will also use 1 point of space to send 1 point of Army and 1 point of Airforce to Agamemnon and will use the same landing strategy as Olympia.

    After a gabinet crisis meeting, the Military Council of the World Goverment of Leonas has reached consensus and will be sending troops to defend the good people of Agamemnon from the unprovocked attack by Kartha. Dispatches from many of Leonas countries will be aggreagated into a single unit, composed of an air wing and a ground wing, that will be carried to Agamemnon immediately

    Actions: 1 army and 1 air will be lent to Agamemnon (1 space will be used up in the transport this turn

    -----------

    Leonas Times

    Multinational becomes Multilunar

    In an unprecedented move, not just in Leonas but in the entire Theian system, the UltraTech company has just announced their plans to build an extraplanetary site, and in an amazing move, has secured contracts with all the spacefaring nations. They have announced that their offshore branch will be complete within the year, and will be producing normally the next. They have declared this industry to be "for the purpose of preparing a suitable environment for future development", although some goods should be produced and be available for trade.

    The revolutionary move has spurred the space industry, that has announced they will reinvert the payments of UltraTech in increasing the available capacity, to further allow the off-world development

    -----------

    World Goverment announcement
    The newly elected world goverment has allocated a considerable section of its budget to the newly created Interlunar Relations Office, whose purpose is to bridge the moons by informing the Leonas citicenship, somewhat unrested, that despite the perfidy of Kartha, not all moons are like that. The goverment expects the population to calm down once they come to greater understanding of their circunstances.

    As well as creating a number of offices in the major population centers, IRO has set up an official sponsorship for the development of space technology that will surely spur the developing of technology.

    The World Goverment cathegorically denies the existance of a black budget within the IRO for non-declared purposes.

    Allies Join the Fight

    The moons of Theia have spoken, and it has become clear that they will not stand for Kartha's unprovoked invasion. Gaia, Aseio, Olympia and Leonas are all sending assistance, totaling a force larger than Kartha's initial invasion.

    Agamemnoniite Ranks Swell

    Spacecraft return from an undisclosed location with a large amount of military equipment with no identifying marks. They are quickly staffed from the ranks of Agamemnoniite conscripts.

    ((1 point of equipment for army, navy and air arrives in transports. 1.5 points of space used to transport it))

    Battle for Agamemnon Forces Summary:

    Agamemnon and Allies:

    Agamemnon: 2.5 army (3), 2.33 air (2), 2.82 navy(3)
    Leonas: 1 Army, 1 Air
    Olympia: 1 army, 1 air
    Gaia: 1 army, 1 air
    Aseio: 1 army, 1 air
    Total: 6.5 army (7), 6.33 (6), 2.82 (3)

    Kharta:
    Kharta: 1.17 army (1), 2.17 air (2), 0 navy (0)
    Total: 1.17 army (1), 2.17 air (2)

    Kartha

    As Agamemnon's new allies begin to bring forces to the planet, Karthan war leaders quickly retreat, falling back into easily defended areas as they desperately withdraw.

    Karthan leader : "I understand your actions, and do not blame you. You all are acting to forward what you believe is the cause of justice. Our goal was never to cause suffering, but simply to remove this cancerous threat before it spread to the stars. Very well. You have defended the darkness. We will cease acting on the behalf of everyone, and merely look to ourselves."

    He pauses, and looks gravely at the camera.

    "Remember today well, and watch your new friend carefully. It is in the nature of the serpent to bite, no matter how kindly you treat it."

    Actions :

    Karthan Airforce and Ground troops as retreat as quickly as is safe, returning to Kartha.

    War in Agamemnon, Alliance Victory:

    The Khartan forces retreated in a hurry when they met the massive onslaught of allied forces from the other moons of Theia. The Khartan Army was soon cut of from their supply lines, then surrounded and outnumbered by massive Alliance forces. A last attempt to break through the Olympian forces to reach their landing zones was stopped, and the Khartan forces wiped out.
    Khartan Army destroyed. Olympian forces suffer 0.25 losses
    In the air, the Retreat was a little more sucessful. Part of the Khartan Air Forces managed to flee to the landing zone, even though a sucessful sabotage mission managed to completely disable their weapon guidance systems.
    Khartan Air forces suffer 1.28 losses, 0.89 retreat to Kharta

    End results:
    Agamemnon: 2 army, 1 air, 2 navy
    Aseio: 1 army, 1 air
    Gaia: 1 army, 1 air
    Leonas: 1 army, 1 air
    Olympia: 1 army, 1 air
    Kharta: 0 army, 1 air

    Aseio reaches technological breakthrough

    The scientist seems calm, as he stands before the League of Leagues.
    "Ladies and Gentlemen.", he then begins what seems to be a well-prepared speech, a little distorted from the long way it's sent to reach the screens of the other moons.
    "Through intense and, if I may say so, also expensive research, we finally suceeded in our goal: we were able to establish what we like to call "Long-range Broad-band Satellites", which finally give us the ability to reach sufficient data transfer rates to establish an effective interlunar network to our allies on other moons. The transfer protocols are based on the Aseio Internet Protocol, AIP. But it's true strenght lies in the hardware of the satellites: with major modifications of the..."

    And so does Nifelheim!

    "Members of the Council, People of Nifelheim!"
    This scientist barely manages to restrain his enthusiams as he speaks.
    "Today, the stars are one step closer! Through careful experiments and modification, we managed to improve the output of our Rocket Engines by over 40%, while improving their stability and maintaining the same rate of fuel consumption. This wil allow a variety of applications in the air force and military technology, but most importantly: it opens the door to breakthroughs in space technology that were unthought of only years ago! The crisis will be over. Soon."

    Theia News Network, your independent news source!

    "And tonight on "Revolving Theia", we present:
    Helia establishes a mining colony on Terra. Our correspondent Kob Matra asked on of the engineers about living conditions on our smallest, and coldest neighbour."

    "Well, you see: it's only a small mining outpost at the moment. A lot of tunnels, two domes on the surface for the crew. We are only 15 people there, at the moment, just skeleton crew. Going outside is out of the question, of course, 'cept in space suits. It ain't a great place to live, but it's well-paid, and there's metal just lying around everywhere."

    "And a little piece of related news: Leonas decided to build an outpost on moon III, which they decided to name Panteras. Some of our viewers might know it under the name "Pericles", because this was the name given to it by the Agamemni. We asked our local expert, Erve Trodd about the matter. Erve, what's your opinion?"
    "Well, John, as we all know, Pantera is mostly covered in oceans. I suspect they intend to move some of their population there, as it's hardly an ideal place to establish industry. Leonas has one of the largest populations of all moons, therefore this solution seems obvious. "
    "Thank you, Erve. At least those colonists will have a lot of beaches to enjoy!
    Tune in again tomorrow, dear viewers, when we look once again at some of the atrocities commited in the Khartan-Agamemni war!"

    Turn 3: Theia Interlunar Corporation founded

    Two long Theian years and a war of several months have passed since the first contact and the establishment of the first trade routes. Companies and small businesses on the different moons established contact.
    Then it happened: companies from the three largest economies, Leonas, Olympia and Agamemnon merged, forming the Theia Interlunar Corporation (T.I.C.). Since Gaias government had been mostly inactive during the last year and a lot of it's industrial and economic capacity was lying idle, the company stepped in, using it's now large funding to corner the markets and buy up insovlent smaller firms.
    Then, an announcement was made, over the news networks of all moons. A young man in a snappy, modern atire stood behind a small lectern with a logo depicting a golden star on a black background and the letters T.I.C.
    "People and Governments of Theia and it's moons. From today on, the system will not be the same it was. Because today, we enter a new era, of quality, reliability and customer satisfaction. I am Paul R. Lee, CEO of the Theia Interlunar Corporation.
    Since we are still growing, we can use any help the moons of Theia can offer us: first of all, we need a top location for our headquarters. Those who could offer us the level of social and economic ability we need, and would be willing to host us, would be offered preferential prices on all our products, and special trade deals. The same offer would be true for any nation who would be inclined to offer us government loans until next year, when we would repay them, along with special trade deals.
    Thank you, Ladies and Gentlemen, look forward to our products!"

    Effect: Leonas, Olympia and Agamemnon lose one point of Trade each, 3 unused trade from Gaia is lost. The TIC is formed with 2 economy and 2 tech

    Official Announcement from the Leonas World Goverment

    The World Goverment applauds the innitiative of the TIC in forming a interlunar corporation, and suggests establishing their headquarters in the newly established Panteras Colony. The Leonian scientists have completed their examination of the pristine environment and have found no dangers, the land is cheap at this time and there will be an influx of colonists that will be readily available for the jobs needed in such a corporation. As part of the Leonas colonisation drive, the TIC will be offered the same incentives the UltraTech received, of course. Furthermore, the colony will receive a seat in the senate and congress, in equal footing with all other nations of Leonas, which will help with further development of the colony.

    We apluad the amount of interlunar co-operation, and, given the rewsources, we'd like to open a trading arangement with you. However, some of the more...xenophobic Freemen may respond adversly to the taking of econamy from them, and we would advise you not to agravate any of the members of tyhis concil. Despite this, we are intrested in the possibilities of such an organisation as yours, and we will likely be comnicating with you at some time in the near future

They are also called intelligent agents.

    Leonas Times

    War & Peace Good for Economy

    The increased spending by the World Goverment due to the mobilisation of troops has boosted the economy, but not quite so much as the peaceful trade with all sister moons. Both combined have increased the production of Leonas companies, competing with one another to give the best goods and services both to Leonas and the other moons, including Panteras. Record-breaking amounts of investment have gone into the R&D departments this year, in an effort to outdistance competition.

    Massive Population Exile to Panteras

    The World Goverment has announced a generalised emigration to the newly colonised Panteras, mostly young individuals from most nations, guided by the promise of a virgin planet and plenty of jobs for qualified individuals. Several nations have also exported cheap labour for construction programs, but the interim Panteras delegates have announced that most will be retrained into industrial jobs once the intial establishment is complete. The World Goverment Population Subsecretary has announced that he expects the exile to continue for at least one more cycle

    ----------------

    Panteras Times

    Grand Opening of the Town Hall

    Panteras has officially become a member of the two Houses of the World Goverment with the oficial opening of the Panteras Town Hall. The few hundred current population gathered to hear the words of their elected leaders, and watched the two Panteras representatives to the Houses accept their sashes of position. Currently, the power of Panteras in the Population House will be limited, but the expected arrival of a large input of colonists will likely change this.

    Massive Attacks on Khartan Forces

    After a wave of false reports concerning attacks, enemy agents and even hidden nukes, the Khartan Secret Services were unable to prevent a series of real acts of sabotage against the Khartan navy and air force. Communication centers, air ports, sea ports and even communication satelites are repeatedly disabled, while the forces themselves are kept busy with conflicting orders and the simple act of trying to remain capable of action without any guidance.

    The entire Khartan Navy and Air Force is sabotaged, all the counterespionage is taken out by a diversion

    Official Communication from the Leonas World Goverment

    We communicate all our sister moons that we have, with the gravest of hearts, ordered the invasion of the moon Kartha, since all our attempts to peaceful resolution of the conflict have fell on deaf ears. We have not received any assurance that kartha will stop invading other moons on the flimsiest of excuses, and thus we have concluded the need to remove their current goverment from power. We call for the peaceful peoples or Kartha to not try and resist; we have done our best to make this invasion as painless and as blood-free as we could. May all Gods have mercy on us all.

    Actions:
    1 army and 1 air currently in Agamemnon moved to Kartha
    2 navy currently in Leonas moved to Kartha.

    Army: Occupy territory
    Navy: Offence

    General Transmission to All Theians

    Today we of Aseio act against our nature - we invade our sibling moon Kartha. This, under other circumstances, would be irreconcible with our ethic and policy of non-coercion but the Karthan government has rejected every attempt at diplomacy.
    The invasion of Agamemnon has created two problems: first the need to rebuild what was lost on Agamemnon, and this just deserves compensation through reparations, and second the lack of necessary defenses on Kartha, leaving them open to the machinations of less scrupulous moons.
    We sent overtures to sibling Kartha, not only advising their immediate withdrawal during the early part of the Agamemnon invasion, but even after that - pay reparations, negotiate and protect your people. But no answer.
    We could not leave Agamemnon to stand alone against Karthan imperialism, and we cannot now deny their right to due compensation and the Karthan people's right to a just polity and their own security.
    So we invade, not as single conquerers, but as a coalition - we extend our responsibilities from the defense of sibling Agamemnon to the well being of sibling Kartha. We occupy today with the hope of seeing, in the near future, a strong and just Karthan people take their place among us.

    All Aseioni forces on Agamemnon (1 army and 1 air) moved to Kartha, and all navy on Aseio (2 in total) moved to Kartha. Navy and Air on Offence, Army on Occupy.

    Address From Prime Minister Rufus

    The government of Kartha has remained silent regarding a peace treaty for the last year. As a result, we, along with our noble allies in the defense of Agamemnon, have decided we must take action to assure that the Karthan government will never again bring the pestilence of war to the moons of Theia.

    Our battle plan places emphasis on our role as liberators of the Karthan people. While there are some military targets we must regrettably deal with, we plan to focus almost entirely on civilian targets. We will target civilians when we offer Karthan naval and air forces amnesty in return for voluntarily surrendering their equipment and their commissions. We will target civilians when the Olympian army arrives to work alongside the upstanding men and women of the Karthan police forces to provide a stable, civil society even as the government is removed from power.

    Invasions are never pleasant, but we will do our best to minimize the human cost of this one.

    Crunchy plans:

    1 Army, 1 Air to be transported by Agamemnoni Space from Agamemnon to Kartha
    2 Navy to be transported by same from Olympia to Kartha

    Army
    Primary: Control Territory - 2

    Agamemnon Joins Coalition Invasion of Kharta

    Bureaucracy generalsordered 2 units of land forces, 2 units of Naval forces and 1 unit of Air forces to Kharta today, in anticipation of an easy victory. When asked about their mission in Kharta, the Generals outlined the following:

    Ground forces will move to surround and occupy important Khartan civil structures, and round up as many of the high-ranking leaders as possible. The objective of the invasion is to get Kharta to end the war on terms of the coalition's choice, and they feel the occupation of Khartan civic structures is most conducive to that. The Air forces will conduct air-superiority missions against the disabled and malfunctioning Khartan air force, as well as ensuring the Coalition's total air superiority by bombing runways. The ground forces will assist in this task by capturing as much Khartan military equipment as possible before it is capable of taking off. The Agamemnoniite Naval forces will move to surround Khartan naval forces and urge them to surrender, mutiny, or otherwise not sacrifice their lives for an obviously doomed conflict.

    When asked for the terms of surrender, the general merely remarked that he was unable to comment further at this time.
