this took a long time in coming, and maybe it's too late. my faction has gone through some rough times as it has tried to find its place in discovery, and people have wanted us to conform to their ideas of rp.

these following installments will be interspersed throughout the coming month. i ask that you not post in here until i say the thread is open for discussion, which will most likely be after im done writiing it all. if you really wanna add something, pm me and we can discuss it via pm. ill be moving slowly, to make sure i get all the detail i can into it.

Incoming Transmission_

system wide broadband channel opened_

Transmit to: The Citizens of planet Gran Canaria, all SCRA personnel
Transmit from: High Chancellor Aeon, RAFC-Dreadnought, location unknown

A face appears, one that not many people have seen. It looks aged, and drained. Visible for all to see, was the High Chancellor himself, 193 years old. he sounds tired and thoughtful.



Greetings to all my compatriots, not just in arms, but to those also who contribute to our culture, our way of life that we SCRA protect. We have long been rooted on this planet, and it is indeed a wonderful place. Warm seas, lush forests, towering mountains. We are lucky to live in such a place.

The SCRA has long sought to protect our haven, both from pirates and from unwanted outside influences. To a large extent, we have failed. That is because we have used our military forces unwisely. The forces we wield have fought many enemies, and killed many people. They have also taken a more negative side, as a place for young men and women to die. We have gained a reputation in Sirius, and it will be hard to shake. A reputation for adventure, violence, unwonton killing, and destruction.

I hope to turn away from that path. From now on, we will use our great armed forces for one purpose, and one purpose alone, to protect our own...

You see, I have actually spent some time thinking for once, and with the help a close friend, one Pops Waverly Esquire, a new course has been chosen. This course will take us on a great adventure my friends! One throughout Sirius, and possibly beyond.

Without further ado, I am announcing a new policy directive.

From this point on, all SCRA are to return to Omega-49 ASAP. They are NOT to leave the system for the time being. No SCRA vessels are to fire upon any ships except those attempting to disrupt trade in Omega-49 or those attacking us or our allies. If you need to stop anywhere, do it on the way to Omega-49. Once here, you arent leaving.

All members of Captain (Naval) rank and above are to report to Scarborough station in Newcastle immediately for outfitting with a Large Train. If you do not want a large train, you are permitted to buy either a Luxury Liner or Prison or any other freighter type ship for sale. Choose WISELY.

[ooc: you can either make a new character or replace an existing military vessel with the freighter]

Each transport ship will have a minimum of two escorts assigned to it. These are to escort the vessel around Sirius. You may go wherever the Freighter commander wishes. The escort will comprise of a capital ship and a fighter or gunboat. Bombers are not needed.

The object of our mission: to collect materials, personnel, and ideas to help us build our mother ship. Your other mission, find a construction site to build the mother ship.

At the end of each day, the freighter commander should report in to the High Command. For starters, we are creating one convoy.

This mission is of the utmost importance, if we succeed, our home awaits. All that is needed now is the equipment and will. Let us see who steps up to the plate.

What shall we find?

We shall return yet!

the face fades away and static appears
