The Martial Republic of Asur
Official Communiqué of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Priority: High
To: Aeisonia, and the International Community
From: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Martial Republic of Asur
Encryption Level: Open
Subject: Declaration of Concern Regarding the Invasion of the Commonwealth of LonosThe Congress of the Republic has convened by order of the President upon being briefed on Aesonia's military offensive against the Lonos nation-state. The Republic has agreed that without a proper cassus belli, justification for Aesonia's act of war, then Aesonia's invasion of the Commonwealth of Lonos is an illegal act of war that warrants intervention from the Republic of Asur.
This official communique intends to notify the High Council of Aesonia that the Republic of Asur demands they produce an official declaration of war including a justified cassus belli for their invasion of the Commonwealth of Lonos.
The Republic's position is currently one of neutrality in regards to the conflict. However, the President has declared a national mobilization of the Asur Militarum as the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces and has authorized the deployment of a carrier strike group to the theatre of conflict.
The High Council of Aesonia is implored by the Congress of Asur to strongly consider a response to this communique.

Republic of Aeisonia - Official Public Statement
Citing complaints from fellow nations due to lack of clear Cassus Belli, The Republic of Aeisonia would like to announce that we do not recognize Lonos as a nation, and as such an invasion does not break any international conventions.
The Republic also like to make very clear that acts of aggression against Aeisonia or Aeisonian assets of any kind will result in consequences towards the offending nation. The Genesis and Pantheon networks are regarded as top state assets, and full retaliatory action will be taken towards the sabotaging and/or destruction of the said assets.
Additionally, the Pantheon and Genesis networks are now on high alert. Athena Early Response drones have been redirected to protect the Genesis satellites, and the Hermes Early Warning drones are currently monitoring the solar system for potential threats. Aeisonia's orbital generators are being prepared to begin primary power generation reactions, and the ETA for the Zeus Network being armed is approx. 32 hours.

Post-Modern Tech is typically understood to mean any piece of technology or continuity which is generally beyond the scope of Modern Tech, but before the moment a country has developed faster-than-light (FTL) technology. Some exemplar aspects include: pervasive use of the Internet, nanotechnology, and cyberpunk aesthetics.

Short answer: Pretty sure.
Long answer: Depends on your definition of future tech. I tend to assume that FT means "technology indistinguishable from magic, we have no idea how it works." Stuff like faster-than-light travel and magical forcefields that can stop most things until they suddenly overload. I take PMT, by contrast, to mean "stuff we know can be done, but still have some kinks to work out."
The site-offered definition is as follows:Post-Modern Tech is typically understood to mean any piece of technology or continuity which is generally beyond the scope of Modern Tech, but before the moment a country has developed faster-than-light (FTL) technology.

Most of what's in my post is either a) basic orbital mechanics, b) stuff we're looking into already on a smaller scale, or c) plausible extrapolations from known physics. If you want the details on the fancy gadgets, you can open the spoiler.The lancers are powered by closed-cycle nuclear gas core engines, which we've looked into fairly extensively. Once we get the fuel feeds down, and confirm that the cooling system would still work with an air-breathing engine, there's no reason we wouldn't be able to build something like the lancer.
The MHD system on the lances is a bit more out there, but the basic idea is physically plausible. A magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) bypass basically relies on the fact that a hypervelocity (mach 5+) projectile will ionize the air in front of it. Ordinarily, the kinetic energy of the projectile gets spent on ionizing the air, resulting in a lot of heat and shock, with mostly negative effects on ballistic performance. The idea of the MHD bypass is to modify the path of that ionized air, swiping back the kinetic energy it stole from the projectile, then using Lorentz forces to expel it out the back for thrust, regaining a significant portion of the kinetic energy that would have otherwise been lost to heat and shock. Ballistic performance still suffers relative to that in a vacuum, but to a far lesser degree than if the projectile didn't have the bypass system.
The metallic hydrogen rockets (check my factbooks for information on how I get metallic hydrogen out of Saturn, and how it's stored - I'm pretty proud of the idea, tbh) that my destroyers are packing should have an exhaust velocity of ~12-14 km/s. It's a bit lower than the ~17 km/s you could achieve with pure metallic hydrogen, but I operate under the assumption that metallic hydrogen isn't metastable under zero pressure (an assumption that's been confirmed by what little research I've done on the subject), and so needs to be stored in inert hypertensile carbon enclosures. Basically, I keep it stable by keeping tiny grains of it at or above 30 GPa at all times in multilayer graphene shells. The carbon is inert, so the exhaust velocity goes down, but being under high tension, it does still contribute some energy to the exhaust. Since orbital velocity at geosync tends to be around 3 km/s, canceling out velocity to drop down on a lower orbit would be fairly easy. And going up would actually be even easier, since we're pretty far out of Earth's gravity well. Getting into orbit from the earth is actually the hardest part of space travel.
That being said,
1- I don't expect you to work out your tech to the same level that I have. The things I find interesting usually make other peoples' eyes glaze over, so... yeah. As long as you don't blatantly break the laws of physics, I'm not going to complain.
2- I am prepared both to negotiate a common understanding of PMT that differs from my current one, if you think that would facilitate this roleplay. If that includes retconning some of the actions I've taken thus far, I am prepared to do so.

OOC: Oh you explained that expertly.
No I don’t think negotiation is necessary. PMT is PMT. You do you.
In other news, Aeisonia is being smashed so maybe we should negotiate a peace treaty lol
