Peace in Our Times

[Craines]

People of Sirius,

The battle between the Kusari and Britonian Governments has gone on for long enough. Both sides have faced massive causalities, and I honestly cannot understand why. Tau 31 really isn't that important, in my humble opinion.

There should be peace in our times.

I suggest that a faction not involved, such as Rheinland, be given judicial powers over that system, and impose sanctions against the two galactic governments in question (Kusari and Britonia) should either attempt to enter the system with anything bigger than a Train. Not a Large Train. Just a Train. This severely reduces the risk of any assault being launched on either government.

The neutral government that rules over Tau 31 would be allowed to have fighters there, and these would be in charge of destroying any terrorists, pirates, insurgents or otherwise that may appear there. Planet Harris would be given to this neutral government, who would allow unbiased visas to be given to any company who so wishes to use it. Both the Liberty and Rheinland Governments would be involved in this process.

Any jump holes to or from Tau 31 would be mapped and defended with weapon platforms, made by the neutral government in charge. Both Britonian and Kusari weapons would be used in the construction of these platforms. Further, they would be automated with neutral robots, which would eliminate any form of bias that could hypothetically arise. While I doubt this would occur, one can never be too careful.

A mandatory toll would be impressed on anyone who entered Tau 31 for the next 3 years, as aforementioned system rebuilds. This toll would be used for three major funds; the rebuilding of Tau 31, the payment of any and all military forces whose government owns the Tau 31 system, and the upkeep of weapons platforms and military vessels. This toll would alleviate any hard feelings from the government who is given Tau 31, as they would have to pay nothing but man power.

Because there are only two jump gates, it will be easy for both to be patrolled, as well as large space stations to be built there; these will be manufactured in Liberty, and will have both Liberty and Rheinland men on board. Once more, this is to eliminate bias. Trade rights can be granted to both Kusari and Britonian corporations, but once again, these will be expensive.

Trade will be essential, however! H-fuel, polymers, optic chips, and much more will be required, both from Britonia and Kusari. Therefore, while it may require a handsome sum to be able to trade there, it will be a boon to economy in both galactic regions. It will further 'weed out', if you will, any hard feelings that anyone from Kusari or Britonia may have in concern to the other. It will pave the way to galactic peace.

The needs of peace are great. Both sides have suffered losses, and the war seems to only intensify. At this rate, if we do not stop soon, then there will be such damage to these two governments that peace will never be possible. Now is the only time in which it can occur. Pirates run rampant everywhere, and the forces that should be there to ward them off are stationed in Tau 31, fighting for a cause that has no basis. If there was peace, pirate and terrorist organizations could be battled, and perhaps even quelled forever. And with peace, we can hope to cement a future that will not have the young of both governments cursing the other, and fearing that a Kusari Bomber will come swooping down on their station and blow it up, or that a Britonian battleship will bombard their shipyard. Don't you see? Peace is the only logical way to go.

I cannot stress enough that the future we hurtle towards is one of severe sorrow, death, and piracy. We must band together now and stave that off. Without peace, either Kusari or Britonia will be destroyed. And that is something no one truly wants.

Please, heed my words. There is no future in this war. We must end it now.

We must have peace in our times.

Thank you for your time today, people of Sirius. And thank you for considering peace. That is all I can ask of you.

Madam Fiona H. deLuna
Ambassador of the Kusari Naval Forces

((OOC: I need serious responses. Not something stupid, like "pfft, no, peace is teh wimpy, letz go PvP" or anything. And yes, that was a radical oversimplification of what the people here write, but nonetheless, I think it is pertinent to ask that it not be done. If we can come to a conclusion of peace, then I ask Herr Igiss to consider writing it into the next edition of the mod. I think that would be a worthwhile idea, no? Anyways, let's see if we can smooth things over. Thanks!))
