After a week of political exchanges at Supreme Allied headquarters the Security Council voted 10 - 4 to create the Strategic Espionage Unit
It was a long winded and heated debate between council members; the vote did not come without its own scathing issues. Many members after a series of comprises put forth by the various representatives came in to agreement after nearly a week or so of debate on the subject, the most vocal opponent of the creation of the SEU was the representatives from the United Dominion; who maintained their position after raising concerns over its efficiency, and a fear of abuse of SEU assets. Nonetheless; the passage of the SEU with certain conditions was met with relief by many, and despite the dissenting votes against it, provided continuing proof that the GESO chose to unify their efforts to protect its member stellar polities.
Terran Councilmen Reginald Green spoke the day after the final votes had been cast. GESO is made up for vastly different beings with different modes of thinking. Mr Green emphasized; that dissent against a bill is what makes a democracy work; and that the GESO would not be what it was today and would not have lasted; and continue to last unless the core principles of equality between member states; and their rights to voice their opinions and be heard. Additionally Mr Green put forth an amendment setting up under the GRF and independent investigative body that would keep a check on any possible renegade elements that while have a minimal chance of arising could still affect the SEU. Off the floor he assured reporters that since the GRF is directly responsibility to its member states and the security council itself; it was a logical conclusion the GRF has the organization the funding , the means and could provide quote "A second set of fresh eyes to keep check on matters ." Mr however by no means implied that he expected any trouble to arise and simply said in that same interview " That the Allied powers opted for this joint effort by a majority, we can’t ignore that."
Past Security council stories
The Security Council continues its discussion of the SEU proposal
-There are merits on both sides of the debate; for and against the creation of a joint intelligence unit; The United Dominion, the Terran Alliance, and many other members continue to seek a middle ground that would allow the SEU to to be established and operate effectively without excessive powers.-
In an address that both supported and raised questions as well as possible solutions Terran council member Reginald Green, stated “It would Improve Interoperability between the allied powers; and each member world’s intelligence agencies”
The debate at hand will no doubt prove crucial; while it is still in its early stages it is likely some form of compromise could be reached. Some member states advocate more centralization for the SEU while others support more of a diffuse organization that would answer to the security council directly. -
Other Events
Talos Station continues operating normally despite puzzling signals
-Talos station today is going about its normal routine as one of the hubs of the civilized galaxy despite cryptic messages from a far flung sector of space that was sent its way. The disjointed seemingly nonsensical message was dismissed by many; indeed some interviewed about it state it could have come from any number of sources; including background radiation, a practical joke; or even perhaps incorrectly calibrated communications arrays. However a Star Command official in charge of the Terran Alliance's assets within the GESO Reaction Forces did confirm that they have sent A ship to investigate. While the GRF maintains that there is almost no chance of a threat and that the message may have been a fluke; the GRV-Tyrian a Charleston class frigate has been ordered to check in to the matter, as the signal seemed to be coming from where the ships patrol route would take it. -
GESO Reaction Force Updates
In response to a recent humanitarian crisis and at the request of The Solar Reign the GRF announced the deployment of both military and nonmilitary assets to assist in this unfolding calamity. Wasting little time at all Task Force 31 of the 8th fleet a Terran assigned force ships and personnel making up part of the Terran Alliances contribution to the GRF, were rapidly mobilized to the theater of operations; both In logistical and combat roles.
The GRF force is under the command of Rear Admiral Deviron Callisto on board the Strike Cruiser TAS Triton, her along with the GRV Republic are heading up a force of operational assets that the GRF has said was meant to protect non governmental organizations assisting in the efforts to stem the increasing death toll of the event against hostile action, additionally several transports were said to be outfitted for increased logistical, medical, and evacuation roles. The GRF also stated that along with Task force 31 and its normal compliment of marines; two fully mechanized rapid reaction brigades and some specialized units are also en route with the task force.
The GRF continues with its normal exercises in various quadrants of the galaxy; officials note that while the size of these exercises may vary their goals are the same. To improve Interoperability; allied command and control, and interstellar unity through cultural, and species boundaries. Officials have not yet confirmed the date for “Operation Vigilance”; the largest exercise between member states ever to happen. But the GRF officials have confirmed such an exercise will happen in order to test on a large scale the operation and teamwork of the states that contribute to the GESO Reaction Forces.
