cutting trade[]
The Meeting[]
1) Open another gate to Illum Pure in Cyrannus, creating another Purity colony in there near the Nivenian Empire to make migration and trade easier
2) Put your people through purification and give them proper training on that front
3) Create another purified Nivenian member state of the Purity, we can discuss its role inside the empire and as a result its leadership and location here
Ringworlds are actually not that hard to design, as long as the active support is included, and I have This handy guide to ringworld design that I could send you. While ringworlds around larger stars are possible, they contain more area than is needed, and are more expensive per unit area as well.
Actually, if you have so many stars at your disposal, a low-luminosity white dwarf would probably work the best, probably of stellar class DB9.0-9.9 or DC9.0-9.9. With this option, or the red dwarf, you will probably end up with several thousand planetary areas at your disposal.True, nuclear technology is sure going to help us a lot with efficiency, which we do indeed need. That shall be your task Robert.
As for you, Samuel Peters, there shall soon arrive, if the deal goes through, a pretty large population of people waiting to be purified. Your faction should be able to help us with that.Dealing with an unfortunate occurrence[]
We have been having a problem on Nivenia A Ringworld 20 with about 8.6 trillion cultists who apparently also want "Purity." They have caused a lot of damage, especially after they split into three different factions (they want the same thing on paper, but not in practice), and we were wondering if relocating them to The Purity would be a viable solution.
Have a nice day!Thank you for your understanding. Will Martex 30 work for you? If not, what date would? Do you need any special environmental protocols followed? How large are you? Speaking of which, due to my size, mass, and total immobility I will have to appear virtually. We will try to transmit this to the leaders of the three factions in question - hopefully they will see some sort of reason. Speaking of which, you are sure that once we give them to you they will not bother us, right?
Have a nice day!Well, it is Martex 25 now... So in a few days.
Also, thank you for the reassurance.
By the way, we have gotten two of the three factions to agree to the virtual meeting, but the third has not actually responded to our messages at all. Updates will continue.
Have a nice day!We checked our records, and it turns out that the third faction's leader was actually on one of those cheap cell-phone plans where there is a maximum of like three megabytes of data, and he had run out of data earlier in the month. We talked to his cell-phone provider, and managed to get through to him. Then he said something about "infidel unbelievers" and hung up. Weirdest thing, especially because we paid for him to get a better data plan.
Have a nice day!A deal[]

A proposal to the Pure One[]
We are saying this out of a genuine fear for the peace of the United Republic and the rest of the Gigaquadrant. You need to understand that Spodia is nothing more than a terrorist group. They will do anything, whether it's moral or immoral, to get their way. If this means total genocide of a people, they will do it. We don't want any more lives to be lost to Spodia, nor do we want to lose any lives against a war to the Purity. The United Republic understands, and enforces the rights of freedom of religion, expression, speech, and movement. We do not hate, nor do we condone followers of Spodism as long as the Spodists in question are not causing any harm to themselves or the people around them. Spodia falls into this category, and as such we believe it is our right to intervene to protect our citizens and your citizens.
This is a last resort, we both know that a war against each-other would be far too costly, both financially and in death tolls. Please take the safer route, the easier route, and end your alliance with Spodia. It will save the lives of millions... and save you trillions.
They will be much happier with us. We will help them. They won't bother you any longer.
We do not want a war but if it means protecting our brothers, so be it. We have no men to lose, you do. We are already fighting the war against the Republic but it won't matter to you should you attack first. Do Not Tempt Our Wrath.Fine. If you are too blind to realize that Spodia is a corrupt regime hellbent on universal domination, then we have no choice but to declare war on you. We will see that you retract your claims, whether you like it or not.
A Message from Beyond[]
I have watched your mission progress from the deep. Your goal of purification is admirable. For in complexity lies heresy. It is not your fault that nations stand against you. It is their fault for believing the lie. Like me, you understand that that there is only one way and only one truth. But I have noticed that through your own limitations, you have yet to truly embrace that truth. Come, I can teach you what you do not know.
Ara Maya... now that is a face that I didn't expect to see here. I have heard of you while studying the UPD's religion, but not more. Indeed, simplicity is pure in its own right and is bound to lead to perfection when not corrupted, such is the simple universality of truth. Tho, I must say that I haven't encountered nor know much of the "truth" that you speak of, mind if I ask you about it?
I have reached out to you because you are a new fiber on this patchwork. You, despite being a part of this universe, are capable of so much more than a mere mortal. Perhaps even more so than the so-called gods. I would see you succeed in your quest.
Very well, thank you for your kind words. We shall be on our way continuing our sacred mission then. I'll get back to you if something will need clarification, that you might know.
A message from the Waptoria Alliance of Species[]
Sadly, I believe you are mistaken. Though we do have a sizable minority who look upon you as kindred spirits, we empathetically do not have a sizable population that follows your religion. If we send this minority over to you, then this would, of course, change. And what then? Then we will have given you a lot of undue influence within our space. While our citizens are of course free to undergo this purification voluntarily, I am afraid we cannot take you up on your offer.
May you farm the fruits of life and prosperity regardless.
Now...it appears you are willing to spy on us. We will inform you that our spy network is quite strong, and likewise our anti-spying measures are perhaps the strongest in all of Western Mirus. Unless you want us to retaliate by spying in kind, I would implore you not to. Before you ask, yes, our Terpeschoires can now accurately mimic beings soul-claimed the League of Patrons. Sending agents to side with the Enlightener might have been a mistake, yes, but at least we got something out of it. Adapting this to mimic purification should not prove too difficult.
May you farm the fruits of life and prosperity regardless.
Tech ban lift?[]
Yes, the trade deal seems like a good idea. If you were to send it to the Lycaryuans, that would be payment enough for the us. However, if you wish, we do require about 376 thousand tons of 41xx steel for our current projects, (specifically, a stabilizer ring that surrounds 5 planets, and two stars) We do have those materials, however we still need to refine it all and it is estimated to take around one year. With your help, we may be able to get it done in half the time and move our system to somewhere more populated.
Sure, we could help with that, I'll dispatch one of our builder fleets there. Thank you for your cooperation!
Negotiations & Peace Talks are desired.[]
For far too long have I been bickering with you and Spodia while taking no action. Recent events have shown me that forceful, or peaceful reunification of Spodia is something that neither of us are particularly in favor of, and I myself need to focus on things other than Spodia and you for now. We are open to diplomatic negotiations: our requests are that our conference is held in a neutral, nonbiased nation and that you pay close attention to our demands. Perhaps we can come to an agreement that will settle this conflict.
Potentially in a member of the United Knights Alliance, I know that Kyaan Desaa of the Volver Empire may be willing to host us. That is all that we will speak of before our conference.
