Foundations of the Saint Entente
The path to true purity also involves forgiveness and understaing, indeed. Thus, the pure become part of the Greater Good.
May we harmonize through Purity.
Spodia will not be joining this alliance with you, Pure One.
Look, Ipliq, you've got to understand that we choose our allies not only by what they are, but also by what could become of them. Else we wouldn't have helped Spodia to survive. We do believe that our cultures are completely compatible with the Jinaris Empire, and while that might not entirely be the case for the IR, we do believe that our first judgement of them was perhaps a little to hasty. Their religion, in fact, aside from their eternal duty, teaches them that they should live to be happy, but also live to be virtuous and in harmony. They also do not tolerate who try to corrupt, collapse, or otherwise sabotage the people and their interests. This, along with the fact that the Fallen Angels were a complete success in turning them around, does make for a pretty good base to build upon. In fact, this was Sanctiel's idea to try make peace with them.
A New JBeginning
As many of you know, until recently I was on full-time therapy to take care of some personal issues! Most of this time I was at Nivenia Prime, that became my second home at Cyrannus Galaxy! There, a competent team of both Nivenians and JSectorians specialists provided everything necessary to help me learn from my mistakes and become a better version of myself!
I wish to thank, from the bottom of my heart, everybody that helped me in this phrase of my life, whether such help was with my therapy, visiting me, sending support messages, administering my JCompany, or any other kind of help! Every good action counted, trust me!
Now, I must to return to my duties as Tycoon of JCompany! I will continue with part-time therapy, and live one day at a time! I will also promote the therapy that helped me so much, as it can help others as well!
I will also continue to visit the Nivenian Empire, and other JClients as well, from time to time! For business travels or just to visit our JFriends!
I am sure I can count with with the support of your JShareholders, JEmployees, JClients, and JCitizens, to continue to work for the betterment of JSector, of our present and future JClients, and of the First Gigaquadrant as a whole!
May we all prosper together!
In the name of the Board of JShareholders, we are glad to see you recovered.
We will provide everything necessary for your return to work.
Sincerely and thanks,
Supreme Ambassador JCute, JCompany Bureaucrat JDivisionWe are glad that you had a pleasant stay at Nivenia Prime, and wish you a prosperous year!
Have a nice day!Hello, NP-L2-ASI01! Pleased to meet you! I saw you a lot in the Nivenian media!
Thank you very much! We wish you a prosperous year too!
Work for one more prosperous year, we should! May we prosper together!Hello, Emperor Zarakrov! Pleased to meet you!
JCerberus told me about you! A JFriend of his is a JFriend of mine!
Let's continue being prosperous indeed! May we prosper together!Hello, Pure One! Long time no see! Pleased to meet you again!
Sure, we can work on such trade deal! I recently have long talks with our Science JDivision about their recent researches involving intergalactic travel technology!... and long talks about other things too...
About intergalactic travel, we from JCompany can offer you technologies such as Intergalactic Warp Tech and our recently acquired Velocity Augmentation System (VAS), for example! Both technologies were adapted for our JSpaceships!
Our Pure JDivision, however, come up with a more customized option for Pure Energy users: our Pure Shamans have managed to developed some Pure Tech on their own, and this involves the development of the Pure Ticket, whice is basically the Return Ticket/Depart Ticket shamaninic technology working with Pure Energy! This should enable a very quick intergalactical travel between the colonial realms of the Purity, just as requested!
About payment, our Pure JDivision come to me with a special request: you mentioned Ravenrii archives, right? Our Pure Shamans have special interest in access this Ravenrii knowledge, because so far their only access to Ravenrii technology is through reverse engineering, which is... less than ideal, according to them!
So, the deal is this: give us access to your Ravenrii technology, and we will give you access to our own technology! What you say?We agree to these terms and can give you access to the Phradox Ravenrii archives, but with 1 condition. You wouldn't be allowed to sell or distribute the technology in any way without our consent. Seeing as some of our enemies are your trade partners, it wouldn't be a very good situation for us to be in if they've got their hands on our technology. Other than that, we agree to buy the Warp Tech for intergalactic exploration and the Pure Ticket for quick access to our realms were the main gates to Illum Puri closed or overrun by enemies. PSR has banned us from using their technology, so I don't think it would be a good idea to buy the VAS. So, what would you say, deal?
Deal! The Warp Tech and Pure Ticket are yours!
Our scientists and pure shamans will begin the works! Puremaster JHerbivore volunteered himself to oversee all the deal!
Nice doing business with you again, Pure One!Warp Modules
I would like to purchase such warp modules, Platixi gentlemen. With the respective blueprints, if possible.
Just send me the bills, so I can send them to the "JBoss". The bastard won't mind spending more JCompany's budget while he is relaxed in that non-stop vacation therapy at Nivenia Prime...Yup, just received the OK here right now.
Nice doing business with you, JFriend.
Strange that the OK came from the Bureaucrat JDivision instead of the Trade JDivision... apparently JCute is trying to concentrate power again... other bastard indeed...Last Offer
Sifkrii Domanov of the PSR. "Hello Comrade!"What is wrong with being a big company anyway? Does that automatically mean that the short-term is prioritized in your eyes?
Also, for the Platixi, is it possible for you to move purchased planets to other galaxies? If so, we would like as many T0 planets that are heavy in carbides as possible to be delivered to prograde orbits about ten astronomical units out from the center of the Nivenia System.
Sincerely,
Megastructural Construction Corporation™, Inc. Advertising Department Sifkrii Domanov of the PSR. "Hello Comrade!"We would like however many T0* planets as 1.2 trillion metric tons of pink spice will buy.
* Planet has to be composed of more than 60% carbide rocks - not mostly oxide rocks like most habitable worlds. More smaller planets are preferable to fewer larger ones, assuming constant mass. As long as this requirement is met, it does not matter if the planet is toxic, radioactive, or uninhabitable for whatever reason.
Sincerely,
Megastructural Construction Corporation™, Inc. Advertising DepartmentGreat Trade Rules For a Great Empire
We from JCompany are happy to be up-to-date with such rules.
We from JCompany are always looking forward to meet the demands of our JClients wherever possible, and to be able to maintain our JTrade Routes and JFriendship.
Sincerely and thanks,
Supreme Ambassador JCute, JCompany Bureaucrat JDivisionThe Return of an Empire
In our time gone we have managed to... calm our civilian population and manage to regain law and order in our nation. This means that we will be able to focus our attention on finding a peace agreement with the Spodists and so called Pure One. (Bah! Pure One! He calls himself pure when he throws an entire civilization into war with him as a first resort!)
For those who are confused about the appearance of this... new voice and government, I am Nubel Khjzalo, the new Protector (and supreme leader) of the new Grubmolian People's State; the Sublime Grubmolian State!
With the knowledge of the fathers and the will of the people, I guide the Grubmolian ethnostate to a better, brighter tomorrow, far superior than the leaders of the Later Republic.
Our goal has been re-evaluated, in that we will remain uninterested in foreign conflicts, but do not let that make you believe we will be as pacifistic as the ancient regime; We will not tolerate dissent, and should it be revealed that you have plotted to undermine the Grubmolian ethnostate, your planets, people, and history, will be wiped out and forgotten to time. Every planet bombed, every civilian executed.
Trade is considered unnecessary and we will actively refuse any trade offers except in the case of the buying and selling of Grubmolian goods or in the case of the construction of megastructures. We do not want your cheaply made foreign products and neither do we want your culture or cuisine plaguing ours.
We from JCompany are happy to be able to maintain our JTrade Route and JFriendship with the Grubmolians.
We wish you and your people well in this new era.
Sincerely and thanks,
Supreme Ambassador JCute, JCompany Bureaucrat JDivisionThank you, JCute. It is an honor to work with the JSector.
Yuorgi declared war on you because it was in his (and the entire grand council's) interest to protect us and his country from heavy casualties by their terroristic efforts. You are not on the moral high-ground, Pure One, and we are not finished talking about this. You still supported a terroristic group, rallied an entire coalition of nations in support of that terroristic group, and still continue to hold yourself at a higher moral ground because we ended up having to take the last resort.
Yuorgi tried to talk and negotiate with you in order to get you to stop supporting New Spodia. He blatantly told you that New Spodia had blown up one of our own moons, and you didn't bat an eye. Rather than picking the morally correct option of leaving Spodia alone and allowing us to put down the rebellion in a peaceful way, you have forced us into a violent civil war and revolution against our own people.
Was your first option peaceful? Was your first option diplomatic talks? No. Your first option was to completely disregard our peace talks and blatantly admit you had no interest in removing your support for Spodia. You are a downright hypocritical leader and to think that you hold any sort of moral high-ground over Yuorgi is laughable.
If you want peace, then here's what I want. Either accept it, or there'll be no peace. Ever.
ONE: New Spodia will fall under the sovereignty of the SGS as a semi-autonomous state.
TWO: We will damn as hell keep our military in New Spodia, as they are rightfully Grubmolian and thus have a right to be protected and defended by our military.
THREE: You will be allowed to communicate with Spodia, but only for purposes of education and diplomatic talks. If we even hear the slightest mention of you two formally collaborating ties will be broken off. Forever.
FOUR: You will formally issue an apology to the gigaquadrant explaining how your support of a terroristic group that has been responsible for the deaths of billions of people was blatantly immorally wrong.
Protector Nubel, I see that you are unhappy with our actions, but please listen to our side of the story. Just because we didn't tell Mr.Yuorgi all of our reasons for supporting Spodia doesn't mean we didn't have them. We saw a situation that could turn out a benefit for nearly all parties and acted accordingly. Don't think I wasn't saddened by the death of billions of your citizens. And yet, they couldn't be saved anymore, so we diverted our attention to protecting what's left and trying to make the best of the tragic situation, meaning the people of Spodia from the Republic and vice versa. The rise of Spodia meant there was a problem in your society, killing or imprisoning every single one of them wouldn't solve anything. Therefore, we tried to show them the way of light by redeeming them. You know why there weren't any successive terrorist strikes? Because we showed them that they were lead astray by their former ways and through purification tried to make them into a better people, since the values they stood for were virtuous, even if their actions weren't. Every person can be redeemed. Even the one who was responsible for the deaths of billions like Ipliq. We knew from the start that something wasn't right about him, else he wouldn't have changed so drastically and become a murderer, this was later confirmed by his brother in hiding, Tyrolox. So after his defeat at the arena, I personally ordered him a ride to Illum Puri, where he could finally complete his purification and his soul freed from its burden. Even if you didn't know it, this was the exact thing that had the most effect on him and had made him into a better person. To get an idea of what of what he went through to change himself, imagine the Day of Judgement of the One God, the trial of the Cleanser and stoic psychotherapy all combined into one. To you it might have seemed a day, but to to him it was a month.
I am indeed happy to say that this plan, even though it has been critiqued by some people close to me, has worked. Ipliq's not a murderer anymore, I can tell you that much. Without this act, Spodia would have fallen and split into several warlord states forever battling each other for power.
Sad thing Yuorgi didn't get to hear about this, this might've changed his opinion. But the situation demanded us to be silent about our goals even if that meant looking hypocritical in the eyes of the others. If old Ipliq got to hear about all this, I wouldn't be surprised if he had revolted. Yuorgi's decision to continue the aggression after we stated that the terrorist attacks would stop was inconsiderate, even if he was only doing what seemed the right thing to him. After the Corlinians joined the war on our side, many empires started joining on the other side too. I admit I should've helped them instead of dragging them in into another conflict, sad thing I was oblivious to the war they were fighting against MotSE and had sent my forces too late. But oh well. Anyways, after that one of my men proposed that we should escalate the conflict by having some great powers support our cause, so that the opposing side would see no point in joining in. This has partially worked, with the Varslan leaving the conflict. So did most after the duel was proposed. Later, the Republic was the only one attacking New Spodia, who only wanted to stay independent.
We hope that this part of the story did shed some light on the cause of our actions, and hopefully at least a little changed your opinion of us. Let me now state our views on the ceasefire.
ONE: Ipliq's choice
TWO: Hmm, alright, though you should still talk it over with Ipliq. I must say that I meant it more as in stopping the aggression against Spodians.
THREE: It is not within your right to claim them as being unable to collaborate with us. You haven't won the war yet and New Spodia has formally become independent after the fall of the Republic. Additionally, I do not see the reason for banning it, since we haven't done anything bad to the people of Spodia.
FOUR: I explained my position.
Do not think your explanation justified your actions, Pure One.. New Spodia was technologically and militarily significantly weaker and more divided before you decided to show up. You did not help the situation. You only made it worse by giving New Spodia a fighting chance, which you never should have done. Several less deaths than what happened in our timeline would have happened and it's likely the conflict would have been over within a month or two. Now it's been more than that thanks to your shenanigans. You only elongated the conflict and brewed up more violence and hatred in the Spodian populace.
The only good thing you have ever done for Spodia is actually make Ipliq sane and that's it. Everything else has been for your own selfish interests.
One: No, it is not Ipliq's choice. New Spodia is Grubmolian- it will remain Grubmolian. This is not up for discussion, and don't even try arguing with us on it. The Grubmolian ethnostate will not be divided because of some foreign power.
Two: My stance remains. We will keep our military in Spodia to prevent foreign powers from attacking our people.
Three: Yes, yes it is, because the last time you two collaborated, one of you blew up our planet!. And bullshit to say that you haven't done anything bad to the people of Spodia, you've done bad shit to us! We're still not forgiving the loss of billions of people that you still try to argue for! We have every right to block them off from contact with you if it means we don't have another war.
Four: No. Act brave, and apologize. I do not want to hear your petty excuses as to why you supported Spodia. You supported Spodia because you wanted to undermine the Grubmolian ethnostate because we were opposed to your interests. We already know it. Stop lying about your purity bullshit, because we know that this was just a plan to get us out of your way.
Just curious, why is New Spodia being a semi-autonomous state so important? They are only 30 billion. If your country has a quadrillion residents, then why should a measly 30 billion matter? If you can just have a peace without either side really changing anything, then would that not be preferable to more war, especially over something so minor?
Have a nice day!
30 billion is still 30 billion. In your horribly overpopulated eyes, 30 billion is nothing. To us, that 30 billion is everything.
The Grubmolian Ethnostate thrives and functions off the unity of all Grubmolians under one government. Should a splinter faction become independent, every splinter faction will become independent, and the Grubmolian ethnostate will erupt into civil war. That is why we wish to have Spodia as a part of us so badly.
You know nothing about our culture or country, vile xeno. Do not argue with us about this.
@Ipliq, what's your view on these demands?
Back to SGS:
ONE: Once again I am not infringing upon your or Spodia's right to stay a Grubmolian ethnostate, that being said, the choice to join you still is in Ipliq's hands, not yours, as, like I said, you haven't won the war yet and he has control over the empire in question.
TWO: Ipliq, you should answer this.
THREE: But Nubel, it wasn't us nor were most people of Spodia directly involved in that incident. There was only one person responsible for that crime. Ipliq. And he got what he deserved during the day of purification. He has repented from his past sins, he was made anew. Also, you are mixing things up here, you will probably have to get into a war which you are trying to prevent if you force them to stop communicating with us, not the other way around.
FOUR: I have made myself transparent about this. We apologize that some of our actions might have seemed to you as treacherous, hypocritical, or even outright evil. Be rest assured, we were doing what to us seemed to be the right choice in this situation, for reasons we presented earlier. I assume you are doing the same. That being said though, even if we disliked the UROG, doesn't mean we aren't serious or are lying to you about our goals, which you've so inconsiderably called purity bs. I have made myself very clear about them. I believe you're intelligent enough to understand that you're not our only worry to this day.
Now to your first statement, no I didn't! UROG was the aggressor, New Spodia was only fighting for its independence while Yuorgi declared war on both of us, even after we said the terrorist attacks on them will stop. Also no, the potential prolonging of the war for the purification of Spodians has shown a good effect on their society as a whole. The opposite is true to what you say, the populus generally became less violent, especially after Ipliq ascended.- - The Purity - I stand corrected, I was evidently using false information during my analysis.
“You know nothing about our culture or country, vile xeno. Do not argue with us about this.”
- - Sublime Grubmolian State - Granted, that is a valid point. However, first, we were suggesting, not arguing, and second, I am an artificial superintelligence, not an alien.
“I believe you're intelligent enough to understand that you're not our only worry to this day.”
- - The Purity, addressing the Sublime Grubmolian State - Given as how Nubel can not apparently tell the difference between an alien and an artificial superintelligence, I would not be so sure about that.
A xeno intelligence made by xenos. There's no difference, idiot.
As for the Purity, you know nothing about why Spodia declared its independence. Ipliq was hellbent from the start on creating a Spodist state for his megalomaniacal purposes. Open up literally any textbook about the Old Kingdom and you can see why we damn abolished it! Nobody wants it back except... terrorists! Why the fuck do you think we had a bloody and violent revolution to overthrow the old regime 73,000 years ago? It's because the Old Kingdom was horrible to live under!
Who was the one who called you out that giving a dyson sphere to the Tendrils of Nix would have gone disastrously had it not worked out? Us! Who called you out for purifying innocent empires into your hivemind? Us! Who has consistently opposed you ideologically and militarily? Us!
Wait, the United Republic of Grubmolians had a quadrillion people in it very recently, and now it has morphed into a state with 321.5 trillion people in it. 50 billion left for spodia, so where in the gigaquadrant did the other 678.45 trillion go?
Have a nice day!Nowhere, the fool got his math wrong. Hahaha!
In that case, my sources must have been incorrect or biased. The error was made upstream of me.
Have a nice day!
Skkhi'ha, Arbitrator of The Periphidi AssemblyWhat were they called again? Je- no, Jinario? Bah, whatever.
We have no quarrels, with you, warriors. Unlike the rest of the gigaquadrant, you fought against the terroristic New Spodia rather than fight on its behalf. We applaud you for your bravery.
You will stay out of any transgressions the Grubmolian ethnostate, unless you wish for unnecessary war.
Hello, Comrades!
Sifkrii Domanov of the PSR. "Hello Comrade!" Sifkrii Domanov of the PSR. "Hello Comrade!"
Sifkrii Domanov of the PSR. "Hello Comrade!"No problem, we fully intend to come to you, and this also gives us a convenient excuse to start cataloguing the wildly diverse wildlife of Tuuros. ...Assuming it doesn't kill our crews, of course. I've heard it can get a bit...demonic. Just send a signal over when you're ready to recieve us.
That sounds good, comrade. We hope your stay at Phrov is enjoyable!
We shall find our way. We are not... interested in your culture, for the most part. Aside from interstellar infrastructure, we would rather like to be left alone for a while. Much thanks for the offer, but I think we can do well enough without help for now.
Do you need some primitive carbon epoxy based armor? An unstable FTL drive perhaps? That's really all we have to offer.
We'd be interested in your Augment Crystals and VASs. Further research on them might help us develop better exploration technology. The time augmentation fields in particular are very interesting.
We are interested in pursuing the common good, but we have a request. Our technology shall not be used in forcing beliefs on others. We want no part in schemes, Purity. What you are willing to give or do for our VAS?
We would go to war. If my theories about most space civilizations are correct, hate from the galactic community for breaking promises made with a civilization that doesn't even know how to use hyperspace yet, would be your price you pay.
No, I'm asking about the statement "Our technology shall not be used in forcing beliefs on others.", do you mean it not being used in weaponry, us being banned from using purificatory methods during war in galaxies which we explore with the help of your drives or something else entirely? Also, you're free to propose a payment option.
Forget it! It is of our opinion that the PSR should keep distant from another potential war between you and the SGS, and given the situation on the Nivenian Ringworld 20, Purity is something we'd rather not be associated with. And for good measure, neither is the SGS. We wish to remain peaceful, should war break out, and I fear siding with either side would put a laser sight on our small civilization
What does a hyperdrive augmentation technology have anything to do with the war? Or... the rioting, for that matter?
There's nothing that it has to do with wars or riots, but if we give it to you, it can be traced back to us, and it would count as a form of support if we gave you them, and the friend of ones enemy is also your enemy, as the saying goes. We simply wish to remain neutral in potential conflicts.
With the rising tensions of the Grumbolians, an alliance would help if war broke out so the smaller civilization like us can protect ourselves. We will definitely consider the proposal.

The Dissolution of a Regime
Good day to all the people watching this. I am Premier Khjzalo, I represent the United Republic of Grubmolians. However, most likely by the time this reaches you, I will not be a Premier nor will the United Republic even exist. For you, the United Republic is likely defunct and replaced with another, better government. I wouldn't like to spoil the surprise, so I'd rather keep to ourselves until we are ready to reveal ourselves to the wider gigaquadrant.
The United Republic served the Grubmolian ethnostate for 70,000 years; our first leader Jyo'Ma led our people out of certain death, our second leader, Wexpo, built up the basis of our economy, and the- uh. what's- what's the third guy again? Turzki? Ah, whatever.
Throughout our existence we thought that the United Republic was invincible; invulnerable to foreign powers due to our isolation and autarky. Unfortunately, as it turns out, we were wrong. We have been wrong for thousands of years, and the government we use has become so weak that it took a single man and his coup to nearly completely dissolve the United Republic on his own.
This is unacceptable, and the competency of government has been drastically lowered because of the losses of so many competent policymakers that were unfortunately massacred by Ipliq. So, my followers and I agree; things need to change.
We will create a new, and stronger government, one that will shut itself out of foreign affairs again, one that will live peacefully, and happily, in this universe, without the threat of invasion. It will live out of your eyesight, far from wherever you may look. To you, we will be gone. To us, we will be reborn.
Henceforth, by signing this paper into law, it is hereby declared that the United Republic has dissolved, and that a new state has taken its place.
And now, for the Grubmolians tuning into this, please stand, for the very last time, for the anthem of the United Republic.
Does this mean that the war is over? What will become of the Pure Divinity of Spodia?
Have a nice day!Farewell friend,

As a representative of the JCompany, I can arrange such deal. Spice trade is one of the specialities of our organization.
Also, we already settled down in the Dwarf Cluster, so we can use the local JTrade Route for this deal too.Hello Gigaquadrant!
Due to technological advancements in the Nivenian Empire, I would like to inform you that I have been nominated as the spokescomputer for the Nivenian Board of Technology, and the previous spokesperson was transferred to physics (that guy actually did not really want to be here). In any case, as the new representative of the interests of the Nivenian Empire, I would like to say that I wish everyone well and hope to look forward to friendly and productive relations with as many of you as possible.
Have a nice day!
Congratulations for your promotion! We are looking forward to maintain our friendly and productive relations, likewise!

We of the Megastructural Construction Corporation would like to remind everyone to obey traffic regulations and safety protocols while within Nivenian Space. This is especially important now, as we are currently using a Nicoll-Dyson beam from the nearby Caeruleo System to blow up two planets to get at their internal resources, and the recent violations of traffic rules. This means that there is a laser going through space with over 20 octillion watts of power that poses a major hazard. Attached are the projected danger areas, and we hope that this industrial venture can proceed safely and securely.

Well, I ordered my fleets to establish a defensive perimeter around your homeworld, to prevent any second waves of attacks while we assist the survivors.Glad to be able to help, JFriend. We will establish ourselves nearby. In case of need, you can call us for help.
While we have no means of actually getting there, I can tell you that we usually keep a few tens of trillions of apartments on hand on some of the outer habitats in case something insane happens. If you need a place to store refugees for a while until things settle down, we could probably help.

We from JCompany established ourselves at the south section of the Dwarf Cluster, close to the Platixi Empire homesystem at the east section.
So, in case of need, we can help with logistics, to get anything in or out the Cluster, or to and from anywhere in the Cluster, as long the rest of the Dwarf Cluster Alliance agrees.You waste more resources attempting to help these beings. You get nothing out of this except wasted materials. If the Empire is too weak to combat a few ships then let it die.
Take care,
the Platixi Kingdom.The Grox have fallen in the wider cosmos and the only remnants of their empire lie at the core of Ardenta. Show me proof that they have set up in the core and we will consider intervening. Otherwise you are just another nation leeching off of the help of others.
One may simply have to face a challenge that requires the union of forces to overcame. The very defeat of the Grox Empire required the combined forces of the Civilisation.
Other example is when the Iexian Union defeat the Tendrils of Nix with the help of combined forces of the First Gigaquadrant, including JCompany, the United Republic of Grubmolians, and the Purity.
If there is Grox Empire remains, or some equivalent strong enemy, at the core of the Dwarf Cluster, it may be necessary to combine forces once again to deal with it.Oh sure, the Purity helped by almost causing an interstellar plague! JCompany and us were the only damn people actually trying to get a vaccine for that thing. If it wasn't for us you would all be mind slaves; you're welcome.
We did not exactly lose anything either by allowing the temporary storage of refugees - the apartments were empty anyway! We always have apartments in various parts of the system where local population decreases make most of them empty. What we gained is the opportunity to partially prevent some of the economic loss inherent in warfare.
By the way, we would like to acknowledge the participation and contributions of the members of the A6 Planet swarm in this endeavor.
Have a nice day!Economic losses, economic losses. All you care about is economics and building all sorts of megastructures for civilizations who are too lazy to build it for themselves. Get out of here.
- Technology more so.
“and building all sorts of megastructures for civilizations who are too lazy to build it for themselves”
- Specialization is one of the key virtues of any advanced civilization.
“Get out of here.”
- That was very rude of you.
Have a nice day!Hey now! This is no way for the Premier to be acting! I formally apologize for the comments said by our... immature representative.
We wish you well,
the Platixi Kingdom.Do not tell us to control our leaders, fool. We have had our government function fine for over 70,000 years, why should a single incident matter to you?
Our race has prospered far longer than your people have even been able to speak languages. Do not tempt our wraith.
It taking you 300,000 years just to even be able to touch the stars is a certain proof of your intellect being inferior to us. Grubmolian civilization was founded 75,000 years ago and it only took us 3,000 years in order to reach the stars. How pathetic.
Gentlemen, please!
It does not matter how many years our civilizations have existed, or hwo many years they took to develop sapience, fire, language, or spaceships! The FIrst Gigaquadrant is vast, and we all have to face different challenges to stand where we are now.
What really matters is what we do from this moment forward! We all have challenges enough to worry about already, like possible Grox Empire remains in the core of the Dwarf Cluster, for example.Planet for sale in the Dwarf Cluster Galaxy.
Happy travels,
Our JCompany wishes to establish ourselves in the Dwarf Cluster to better trade with your Platixi Empire.
For that, we wish to acquire the purple package, preferably a full star system. It can be at the south section, preferably somewhere close to the capital of your Platixi Empire, to benefit the JTrade Route.The rules are reviewed and aggred in such profile, as requested. Wating coordinates.
Thank you very much! I will settling in. In case of need, you can count with us nearby.

Wonderful! Construction will be complete soon; we will send you a notification when finished.
Have a nice day!Annual Grubmolian News!
This is a momentous ocassion in Grubmolian history, isn't it, Yeore?
That's right, Claxe! Not only is this a special ocassion for Mutypla, but also in Grubmolian history!
This night, we'll be broadcasting the latest news to the gigaquadrant! This hasn't been done in 40 years!
A momentous ocassion, indeed!
For the next few days, we'll be covering the progress made against the terroristic New Spodia as well as the elections and re-elections taking place for the Grand Council!
Thanks to the removal and pacification of many of New Spodia's allies, the United Republic has been able to focus its attention once more back onto the real threat- New Spodia!
According to a recent transmission that just reached Mutypla a few days ago, self-proclaimed "God-Emperor" and former Premier Ipliq Ytroalo recently entered the artificial realm of Illum Puri in order to undergo purification at the hands of The Purity. Generals and Admirals have expressed their concerns at the recent news, which saw an immediate positive effect on the morale and government of New Spodia. One general had this to say about the event;
[sic] "This is... a real turning point for the war right now. He's the first God-Emperor to actually prove and validate his claim to that position- it's no longer a matter of him being illegitimate, because- to the Spodists, the very idea that their God-Emperor is illegitimate would be insulting."
That's not all there is, Yeore. Recent intelligence reports say that the New Spodian government has become "shockingly efficient" compared to just only a month ago.
As a matter of fact, Ipliq felt so cocky about the recent move that he suggested that the United Republic sign a peace treaty which would leave us with 30 billion of our own citizens gone, and even tried to defamate the government!
Well that doesn't seem to be a shocker according to most people. Ipliq has expressed his discomforts and concerns with the government for quite a long while, especially in previous interviews during his premiership.
I think the biggest problem with the United Republic... is the lack of competency and respect that many of our elected officials have for this country and its people. The government on Mutypla has been... fundementally reduced to a bunch of nepotist fools, it's depressing!
And I'm your co-host, Claxe! This past week has certainly been a mind-full of drama, hasn't it, Yeore?
(chuckle) You can certainly say that, Yeore! There's a lot to report and a lot to cover here, so it's best that we stick to what matters right now.
First off, let's talk about the recent election results that were confirmed for the Grand Council and its divisions. With the crisis of New Spodia still looming over people's heads, many Grubmolians are looking to new ideas and politicians in order to seek a quicker end to the conflict, but one man that Grubmolians are seeming to look up to the most at this moment is a local Mutyplian, Nubel Kjhzalo.
Nubel, who was once a single representative for Mutypla in the Grand Council, has now managed to gain the title of Chairman of the Mutyplian Nationalist Party, the largest constituent party in the United Republic.
His nationalistic views, which call for an end to conflict in the United Republic and the revision of the Grubmolian ethnostate, have been deemed by many to me necessary, and this election has cemented his power as one of the highest-ranking officials in the United Republic.
Nubel was appointed as Vice-Premier of the United Republic, after current Premier Yuorgi's vice-premier unfortunately died in a freak space-traffic accident.
On any planet, there is always a sunset somewhere.
Have a nice day!After the sunset, comes the darkness of the night, and all its terrors.
However, if some light remains, we may not completely succumb to the darkness, and we may live to see another sunrise, and to have a nice day once more.
Let's keep the light of the Hope on, to the best of our abilities.
May we harmonize through Purity.And I'm your co-host, Claxe! Today has been rumbling with all sorts of discussion and turmoil, hasn't it?
Unfortunately, yes, Claxe. Today has been a day of griefing for the United Republic, as Premier Yuorgi finally succumbed to his battle with a rare, currently incurable illness. With preparations being made, Vice-Premier Nubel will replace the Premier as leader of the United Republic. Replacements for Vice-Premier are being looked for.
Yuorgi, who served as the Galactic Premier of the Plazith Grubmolian Republic, replaced former Premier Ipliq after his abdication earlier this year. During his time as Premier, he continued Ipliq's efforts of bringing the Grubmolian Republics closer together and led a war against New Spodia, whom which we are still locked in war today.
Nubel has gone on record saying that he would like to resolve the conflict, although the details of this is currently unknown. Nubel has suggested that New Spodia be incorporated into the United Republic as a semi-autonomous nation, much like the Galactic Republics of our nation. There has been no comment from Ipliq about this matter so far.
Nubel is set to become Premier later tomorrow. And now, a word from our sponsors.
So crumbles the reign of the United Republic, and all it took was one man to destroy it. I am most impressed, Ipliq.
The United Republic was corrupt at times and often downright stupid, but it is an insult to even suggest that it failed to protect our culture. I don't like the United Republic, but I won't go off on a limb and say I want it destroyed either.
Why deny the fact that I was the one who set off this chain of events? There's substantial evidence to prove that I was merely the one who broke the camel's back. I consider it hilarious that all it took was one person to watch it crumble.
Congratulations, you have officially pissed off the Grubmolians, (and me) for the 5th time.
I apologise for my ignorance, but if it wasn't to protect your culture that New Spodia has risen and was supported by so many Grubmolians, what was it then? Also I didn't suggest I want it destroyed, simply that it would be inevitable that something like this would happen. That it took only one man to start its decline means that it wasn't that strong in the first place. If something isn't that strong in the first place, it is prone to corruption, bad leadership and it will eventually fall, like here with the rise of Nubel.
Besides, we do not wish to become the possible puppet of a foreign power. Your defense is appreciated but we'd rather not rely on you too much, lest we just become a pawn to your game.
Understandable, but it looks like they are still blaming you for everything, I'm not sure if Nubel won't just betray his word and genocide all of the Purified Grubmolians for being affected by a foreign power.
Hello Grubmolians and Gigaquadrantians, and welcome back to your dose of Grubmolian News! I'm your host, Yeore.
And I'm your co-host, Claxe!
Today is a seriously momentous occassion; and one that shouldn't be taken lightly by anybody!
For those who need a refresher, Vice-Premier Nubel Khjzalo was sworn in as Premier earlier this week, and already he's been pushing for a new project that will reshape the way our government runs!
Khjzalo has pointed out that a majority of the representatives in the local Galactic Senates have often been appointed out of nepotism or bribery, with thousands of documents being leaked from an unknown source to Khjzalo.
He believes that the United Republic has grown weak and corrupt, and that there must be a transition of power in order to ensure that it never happens again!
Khjzalo has proposed that more power ought to be invested in the central government, and that the way the country works be shifted in order to react to the problems that now haunt our nation!
He suggests for the creation of "Protector", a lifetime serving position that will serve as the representative and protector for the Grubmolian race; one that will bind the Grubmolian ethnostate in harmony and unity!
Khjzalo has pointed out, that with the introduction of the emergency powers granted to the Premiership by the grand council, that the position of Protector will be, for the most part, completely dictatorial without the interference of the reactionary council.
But that's not to say that people are happy about this notion; many Grubmolians are dissatisfied with the possibility of being ruled under an autocrat, although Nubel has reassured people that he will relinquish his power when the deemed threat to Grubmolian sovereignty is eliminated.
Of course there is a check to make sure that he does not stay in power forever: three at least - internal instability (caused by not paying the army enough), external instability (caused by not keeping a check on local politics), and old age (something I am immune to). The likelihood of these factors coming into play depends on the competence of the ruler, the size of the treasury, and how well armed potentially disgruntled civilians might be.
Have a nice day!
