Iragoras at War!

President Chancellor Powell addresses reporters about the declaration in a press conference on January 20th

This morning following a lengthy debate, the Senate of Iragoras has voted in favor of joining its ally Atmora and its protector Irav in a state of open hostility towards the Dutch Empire. Leading to charge to declare war was Chancellor of the Senate Bradley King. He stated,

"Now is an opportune time to send our fine soldiers into battle to give them experience and battle testing. It must be done while their new training style is fresh on their mind and still pounded into routine." He also stated, "If there was ever a time to stand up for what we as a nation and a people believe in, then goddamnit it's now."

Senate Chancellor King was met with many supporters but was met by opposition when Senator Ming Thai said, "We as a nation cannot see our military as new toys to play with, or in this case through into battle, whenever the chance come knocking. They are lives we are messing with and we cannot go on throwing them around into battle. It's not human and I find it to be immoral."

The vote was by far not a blowout as it came down to a 150-149-1 vote in favor of war. One Senator abstained from voting giving a simple majority to war. Vice President Bertrand was on standby to break the tie.

A few hours after the vote, President Chancellor Powell spoke to reporters in the Presidential Mansion's press room saying, "A few hours ago I was notified that the Senate approved the decision to declare a state of war against the Dutch Empire. I decided to approve the Senate's decision and sign their proposal. At 1:36 PM on January 20th, 2063 the Iragoran Republic entered a state of open hostility with the Dutch Empire.

At that moment the president stood and exited the room with a swarm of guards trailing him.

Pope Urban XII murdered!

The Catholic World was through into a shock as this morning, Pope Urban XII was found dead in his papal throne, shot through the heart. According to investigators, the Pope had been alone in the throne room, telling one of his secretaries he was going to pray in the store alone. Investigators believe that when he was in the room, the killer arrived. The Pope was standing when he was shot and then fell backwards into the throne. Urban XII is the first Pope to have been shot ever and the first to be murdered in 1079 years, the last being Pope John XIV in 984.

Promising Transmission from Gen-Spaceship

The Serian Space Agency has received very promising communications from the Forward Unto Dawn of a planet that rested well within it's parent star Sirius's 'goldilocks' zone. The planet, - which the crew has given the nickname of "Theron 778" - has a gravitational pull slightly stronger than that found on Earth which may cause some concern. However, it is believed that subsequent generations will adapt to the heavier gravity. If not, than there may be a requirement for Exo-suits to be utilized before a more permanent solution can be found. Further, from analysis completed by the ship's long range scanners, the planet has a high concentration of oxygen and Ozone resting above it's rocky surface; gases that are necessary for human life. The crew of the vessel will continue to run scans of the planet as their ship speeds towards it, hopefully finding evidence that would strengthen the cause of colonization. Hopefully, Sera will be able to lay claim to it's first extra-solar planet in a couple of years (5 to be more exact), thus rounding the trip off to a hefty 11 year journey.

Much debate has already sprung up among SSA scientists whether or not it would be wise to name the planet after the country, or if it would be better to name it something else entirely. Philosophers and social experts alike have brought up the question regarding the demonym of the entire Serian nation and culture. There is only one certainty, though...

Sera is getting ready to step through a door that may open up the entire galaxy for exploration and perhaps, even conquest.

Like always, we here at SNN will keep all of you updated. May the Sky Watch You all, and the Earth Preserve you.

UFSC Ulluriaq Gone Missing! Development of Warp Drive?

^{SHARE THIS:}

Anna Ruiter (@ARuiter)
^{-306551.841764066 | Westerkwartier, Irav}

For many years now there have been many different rumours circling inside of the Iravian federation about the development of an real operational Alcubierre Drive. An Alcubierre Drive is a device that greatly expands and shrinks space-time to accelerate a starship or any other thing beyond the speed of light, reducing interstellar travel distances to mere weeks instead for years. However, it now seems that those rumours that have been spreading for many years might hold more creditability then was previously thought.

Last week, or five days ago to be precise, a United Forces Space Command vessel that has now been identified as the starship UFSC Ulluriaq (which means star) has gone missing in the area in-between the Kepler belt and the Oort cloud. The area in which it was active seconds before the starship had disappeared from all sensor readings and interactive maps of the area.

At the time of the incident the starship UFSC Ulluriaq was operating approximately 0.6 lightyears away from planet Earth in the general direction of the Alpha Centauri (now Ah'rak) star system. At 15:59 (Iravian Standard Time) the starship had lost all connections with the Mission Control Center and refused to respond to further attempts by the Mission Control Center to make radio contact with the ship. Eleven minutes later at 16:10 the UFSC Ulluriaq had effectively disappeared from all interactive star charts and sensor readings of the area.

Later that same day the federation president Justin T. Donovan met with his colleague empress Aiuoko Anana of Aput Angirraujuq in the capital city Nuuvniuiqaluit to discuss the missing starship incident. Both leaders have expressed their concerns for the safety of the crew and its captain who has been identified as Harry Mitcher, a man with a history of serving in the United Forces. During their short meeting they said that neither of them would abandon the investigation and there up following search until the fate of the UFSC Ulluriaq is known.

An expert team of professionals have been recruited and set to work on the case of the missing starship UFSC Ulluriaq. After only a couple of days of examining records, communications, documents, etc. They have managed to exclude external causes of destruction from the list of possibilities, which include asteroid collisions and that of it having been attacked. These options have been dismissed on the grounds that there have been no sightings or sensor readings on unusual amounts of starship debris in the area. Many internal causes have also been dismissed on those same grounds, such as a crack in the outer hull, engine failure, or the self-destruct mechanism that is installed on ever United Forces starship.

Thus far all evidence points in the direction of the UFSC Ulluriaq being equipped with a device called an Alcubierre Drive, which would expand space behind the ship and retract that in front of it. Which would explain why it would have suddenly disappeared from the sensor readings, interactive star maps, etc. However thus fat no country has managed to successfully overcome the mathematic troubles that would have to be overcome before such a Alcubierre Drive could be realized. Though according to researchers at the United Forces Space Command the Alcubierre Drive is not a mathematical impossibility, they are far from developing one.

We’ll keep you updated on the search for the UFSC Ulluriaq as it progresses.

Threats, revelations, and lunar travel!?

Chancelière Valen and Connor II spoke at the Cathédrale de Lausanne

^{SHARE THIS:}

Eleanor Riencourt (@EleanorRiencourt)
^{April 24 2063 | Lausanne, Switzerland}




Today the press got their explanation as to why Valen and our Emperor have been seen together in and around a lovely hotel in Lausanne, as they jointly publicly condemned the Empire of Atmora and Irav, Valen on behalf of Switzerland, and Connor on behalf of the wider Etats Connuriste.

“Neutrality cannot be maintained forever, as unfortunate as that is.” explained the Swiss Chancellor. “To be neutral against the injustices perpetrated against others is as bad as perpetrating them ourselves. We have to take sides because it is what is morally right - we cannot take action against a threat if we are neutral.”

The Emperor elaborated. “It is for this reason that we cannot tolerate the belligerence of the Atmorans nor the Iravians shown towards the Dutch. We must urge the leadership of these countries to reconsider their wanton courses of action. They have shown ability to reason in the past and we hope that they will do so now and in the future. Otherwise, as long as a state of hostility continues to persist without warranted foundation between them and the Dutch Empire, all agreements between us and any FDC state shall have to be rendered null and void.”

The news, which more or less was in effect a threat, was quick to shock. Neutrality is what Switzerland has known for years and years. But Switzerland has always been prepared for the day where this would be no longer the case - after all, that is what armed neutrality is.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reassured us that even in the worst case scenario, FDC nationals would continue to be welcome to immigrate into Switzerland. ‘Individuals from countries ought not to be judged by the actions of their governments.’ It says on their website. ‘Switzerland has a long history of having migrants and they have contributed so much to us that we never wish for such a thing to change ; we will remain accepting.’

It seemed that contingency plans have been set in case of circumstances not changing for the better, or so a statement from the Swiss Space Agency that came out earlier this afternoon would suggest. ‘Utilising the experience gained by citizens of Les Etats Connuriste in the past whilst collaborating with Iravian space efforts, and with the assistance, backing and part-funding of our co-operative Dutch equals, the SSA optimistically imagines that it will be able to commence lunar mining efforts for Helium 3 with the Dutch by the end of this year. This will allow our country, the Empire of Connuriste and the Dutch to no longer remain dependent on imports and able to power ourselves. Surplus will likely be either kept stored safely for a rainy day, or sold onto willing friendly customers throughout Europe.’

As always, more news and updates as we have it.

The Federation Goes to War With Spain!

^{SHARE THIS:}

Anna Ruiter (@ARuiter)
^{-306549.15607291035 | Westerkwartier, Irav}

Today the Interstellar Federation of Irav has declared war on Communist Espana! After a lengthy debate in both the upper and lower houses of government had passed a vote was called for on the matter by the speaker of the house. In both houses the vote passed with a 66% majority voting in favour of declaring war on Communist Espana.

During the debate many ministers read quotes of the Spanish that described their ‘thankfulness’ for Iravian support during their war and about their true intensions concerning that exact same conflict. Two of those quotes that were read are as followed: ''It's for me to win and gain everything, and you and Atmora can have what I let you have as a reward for helping me.'', ''This war is about me winning and me taking over the Dutch-Empire. You are supposed to be doing this all for me. Not for your own selfish interests.'' These two quotes in particular sparked a nationwide outcry for war against the Spanish as they obviously have no respect towards United Forces and other Freedom Defense troops that have risked their lives fighting for the Spanish.

Following this extremely unthankful behavior of the Spanish the Iravian government has stated that it shall abandon the Spanish war effort and that they and the Swedes are now on their own to fight both the Netherlands and Denmark-Norway. However the government too has made it clear that they shall not withdrawal from the fighting in the foreseeable future and have pledged to create a third party of belligerents neither aligned with the Spanish nor with the Dutch. This ‘third-party’ shall most definitely include nations such as Atmora and North Timeria.

No words have so far been spoken as to how the interests of the Freedom Defense Coalition and the Iravian Federation have been affected by this, however it is believed that the Spanish shall be shown no mercy during the continuation of this conflict.

^{2 September 2063 | Dredge, RUP}

Early August 31st, Senate was called from recess and convened. 300 members were brought to Dredge to debate and vote on the decision to blockade the former capital of Winston. There was a two day debate to take military action against the intrusion of Winston. President Powell lead the side to block and siege the city. Senator Ming Thai backed him. Senator Lafferty lead the argument to not get involved. Early this morning a vote was held to end the debate.

The vote took two hours to complete and count. Senate Chancellor King re-adjourned the Senate to read off the results of the vote.

"Yes, 165. No, 135. Abstain, 0. The vote to blockade the city of Winston has passed and will move to the President's desk." He then disband the Senate.

President Powell shook hands and then went to his office with cameras behind him. He sat down at his desk where he began to sign the awaiting document. It took ten minutes before he stood. Smiled, shook hands and the reporters were usher out of the President's office.

Queen Sophia had no comment on the situation but did approve the bill when it came to her table.

Over the next week, the First and Second Naval battle groups will begin to block off the port of Winston. The Third Naval Patrol has also been dispatched to intercept ships attempting to go near the port. Three divisions of Marines have also been placed on land around the city blocking off the area, in hopes to prevent land routes into the city. Army engineers have begun construction of a wall around the city just on the border.

President Powell stated that a no fly zone will be declared over the city saying that hopefully all air routes will be cut off by the Air Force. He also spoke out hoping this would end without blood.

The Danish and Prussians have put a blockade at the entrance of the Baltic Sea while the Atmoran colony has been sealed off by the Russlandains.

A new target was hit today as the colony of New Alexandria was hit with 16 2,000 lb. JDAMs, developed by the organization, the Red Rogue Army. The attack was swift and unexpected as RRA planes, most likely stolen or manufactured illegally, flew over the sky dropping their pay load over the colony and then disappearing from the area. The leader of the RRA, an unidentified male most likely of Korean descendent has released a blacked out video stating that:

"The oppressive empires of the world will fall. Starting with the diseased body that is Atmora."

The attack on the colony will hopefully be the first of many in chopping off the arms of the octopus of Atmora that is strangling the world. But be warned, Atmora is not the only nation on the RRA's list. Other targets do include but are not limited to, Espana, Rhine-East Berlin and Chypree.

Atmoran officials contacted the government and seceded the city of Winston to the RUP. Queen Sophia herself broke the news to Rear Admiral Tamino to abandon the blockade. Land troops were also informed of the news and plans to build a wall were scraped and preparation to move to annex the city was set in motion.

President Powell was spoken to by a member of the press. When asked what he though he stated it is a momentous day in history and a milestone in proving the RUP is not to be messed with. He then proceeded to his office behind closed doors.

Queen Sophia was no where to be seen but a representative of the Queen stated that she is happy to see the capital back in the government's hands. He then said that there were no further comments. More to come.

Hyperion, United States of Conner
Today, Connerian Space and Aeronautics Division Director Andrew Jones held a press conference to confirm the existence of the long-speculated Project Centauri, which aims to send drone spacecraft to our nearest celestial neighbor by 2065 and astronauts there by 2075.

Jones, who has held the Director position of CSAD since 2057, began the conference by saying, "Many of you have long speculated on the existence of a so-called Project Centauri. In the past, CSAD has refused to acknowledge such a project. Today, I come to you to not only confirm the existence of such a project, but to reveal that it has been underway since Q3 2058."

When pressed for more details, Jones said, "Though our methods are classified, I will say that our initial goal is sending unmanned crafts to Alpha Centauri by 2065, with a manned mission there within a decade after that. In addition, I can confidently say that we are ahead of schedule and are crossing our fingers for an test launch sometime this year and a final launch about nine months after that."

Later in the conference, Jones confirmed that Centauri would be solely a Connerian project by saying, "Connerian scientists and astronauts have done incredible work with regards to the interstellar field as CSAD has shifted its focus to work around our solar system. However, it is now time to consider the goal espoused by Corey Neal in 2022, when he laid out his Century Plan for the CSAD. I believe he said, 'Advancements in space research and infrastructure development within the solar system are a necessary requirement for the USC to be considered a power, for by 2122, it should be our goal to walk in the light of other stars.'"

Though Jones said that most details of the project would be disclosed when the final date for a test flight was announced, he did say that the drones would be launched from Connerian drone bases on Triton and Charon, before receiving an assist of some form from a Connerian station in the Kuiper Belt.

When asked if a hypothetical faster-than-light propulsion system rumored to be in development by the CSAD was involved in the project, Jones deflected the question by saying, "The propulsion system used by the spacecraft will be revealed when a test flight date is announced. Next question."

The Tsaritsa of Bulgaria, the 20 year old Génoise second wife of Tsar Simeon IV of Bulgaria, Giacinta Carena Garspianna has given birth to a baby girl, Princess Kalina. After the death of Princess Margarietta Rosse in 2060 after only three weeks of marriage, and even after his second marriage it was thought he would never have children. Now that he has, there has become the issue of the succession, which girls have been excluded from. Tsaritsa Giacinta has noted that in the 21st Century that many of the other monarchies of the world have allowed females to take the throne. However the National Parliament and the Tsar have both not yet agreed or disagreed to the idea. While the National Parliament enter a debate over the issue, the Tsar, Tsaritsa and the Princess have retreated into the more domestic lives of a family, moving to the country At the Palace of Samkovgrad.

Protests plague the city of Sofia just days after the birth of Princess Kalina as Tsar Simeon IV has passed three laws including one that require that all citizens of Bulgarie and Rumelia pay tribute to the royal family that is separate from normal taxes. The Royal Tribute Act plans to take a near quarter (24.7% exactly) of each person's earnings to give to the Tsar and his family. The second law is the Neighbor Honesty Act which rewards those who turn in those who do not follow the previous law. The third law is the Homeland Nationalist Law, which if a person leaves the the nation, they must leave 90% of their finances behind for the Government to collect. Because of these new laws, a estimated 80,000 people have become protestors in Sofia, causing rippling giant protests across the nation.

Today, the Connerian Representative to the Freedom Defense Coalition, Jessica Livingston, went before the FDC Council to ask for an FDC intervention in Bulgarie-Rumelia. Though the directions in which each nation voted remain classified, three nations voted in favor almost immediately, thereby ensuring passage of the resolution. FDC Secretary-General Thomas Harris held a press conference at noon in Conner City's Anderson Hall to confirm the resolution passed. Harris was quoted as saying, "The nation of Bulgarie-Rumelia must not be allowed to fall into anarchy and chaos. Thus, the Freedom Defense Coalition has moved to initiate a peacekeeping mission within the nation in order to ensure it remains the bastion of civility and peace that it is known to be. We hope the people of Bulgarie-Rumelia are cooperative and transparent as we move to restore order and peace within the nation."

When asked for details of the operation, Harris revealed that forces would leave for Bulgarie-Rumelia within 24 hours. Though Harris did not confirm it, it is rumored that some FDC forces will fly over Eastern European airspace. When asked if the forces will fly over hostile territory, Harris said that they "would not violate international airspace." In addition, when asked if FDC forces would be superseded by an IU task force, Harris said that "the Freedom Defense Coalition will not become subservent to the will of the International Union. We will carry out our mission and ensure the nation of Bulgarie-Rumelia remains the prosperous and safe nation it has a reputation to be."
