Fiction:Apalos/Relations

The international relations of  involve several galaxies, although they tend to be of minor effect. Apalos holds a viewpoint superficially similar to that of one its predecessors, the, as far as alliances are concerned, although their perception of it is different. Some other civilisations treat their "operational relationship" concept as being identical to official alliance, although application of this interpretation is inconsistent. For example, while most consider Apalos to be a member of the Seven Starr Alliance and therefore allied with its fellow member states, few if any consider them to be an ally of the Vi'Navitum.

Apalos does not appear to hold a particularly high opinion of any organisations or empires, regardless of their relative power or influence, mainly considering them in terms of how "useful" they are. They are assigned threat levels based on how Apalos perceives them:


 * Indeterminate - threat level varies
 * N/A - no threat; effectively incapable of war against Apalos
 * None - a war would most likely only result in relatively minor losses for Apalos
 * Potential - a war may result in major losses for Apalos
 * Potentially major - a war may result in the destruction of Apalos

Operational Relationships
Civilisations and organisations that Apalos willingly works with, somewhat analogous to what other nations view as being "allies" or "friends".

Memberships =

and


''Controlled. Useful''.
 * Threat: N/A



''Intergovernmental bridge. Under control. Useful.''
 * Threat: N/A



''Intergovernmental bridge. Under control. Useful.''
 * Threat: N/A

Others =

Kraw Federation


''Small alliance in a dwarf galaxy. Creation of alliance was aided by ourselves. Creation of galaxy and inhabitants by a practical joker is presumed. Not out of control. Possibly useful in and of themselves, but mainly beneficial to coordination of international efforts.''
 * Threat: N/A to None



''Major sub-network of the Agency. Fond of intrigue. Useful.''
 * Threat: None



''Generally disunited. Some are aligned with the Deathmarch; these are not ones that we have an operational relationship with. Vyro'Narza and Vi'Navitum have worked with us in the past. Xyanxes owe us one. "First Ones" still call from time to time, but not the Draconians.''
 * Threat: Potentially major

Neutral Relationships
Apalos is neutral with all empires that are not in either other category, but rarely to never consider themselves to be in an official "netural relationship" with another civilisation. It has some thoughts about the most powerful or influential groups that it has no operational or hostile relationship with, as well as some groups that it has indirect operational relationships with due to memberships in larger organisations. Apalos considers "Extrovert Superpowers" to be those that have a wide interaction with the intergalactic community, including alliances, while "Introvert Superpowers" are generally mysterious.

Extrovert Superpowers =



'' version of the Civilisation. Suspected association with non-aligned Ultraterrestrials. Officially in an operational relationship with us due to Seven Starr Alliance and Universal Trade Union. Useful.''
 * Threat: Potential



'' version of the Civilisation. Divinarium is officially in an operational relationship with us due to Seven Starr Alliance. Draconid Imperium is officially in an operational relation with us due to Universal Trade Union. Kicath are also members of the Civilisation. Useful.''
 * Threat: None



'' version of the Civilsation. Possibly useful.''
 * Threat: None

Introvert Superpowers =



''We know little about these. Most likely approximately equal to the Netspace.''
 * Threat: Potential, possibly major



''We know little about these. Most likely approximately equal to the Netspace.''
 * Threat: Potential, possibly major



''Resembling the Fiction:Grox EmpireGrox Meta-Empire at their height, but without the weakness of relying on a. Possibly useful.''
 * Threat: Potential

Other Galaxies =



''Disunited. We have operational relationships with some empires due to Seven Starr Alliance and Universal Trade Union. Otherwise useless except for presence of Junction.''
 * Threat: None



''Main empire of. Unlikely to be useful.''
 * Threat: None

Hostile Relationships
Also known as "enemies".

Enemies =



''Obsessive. Leaders don't seem to be doing much, so primary concern to us is administrative effort required in cataloguing specific sub-cults, although other states that we are in operational relationships with are suffering due to their effects. Useless.''
 * Threat: Indeterminate
