I have been deliberating with the Council, as of late, to which factions we should invite to enter the Herculean Triad. As of now all factions, including the FSD are welcome to join us.

"We wish to hold a secret meeting with all faction leaders, plus the Primate of Beta Truix, to discuss a possible joint military venture, such as the insterstellar version of the 20th Century UN Peace Keeping force on your home planet of Earth."

"As for the Acheans, they are deliberating whether or not to extend a cease-fire to all factions, excluding FRK, because they have already signed one with them. If they choose not to, be prepared to defend your space, and do not attack their homeworlds, they have a *super* weapon that you do not want to find out about. This weapon, called by the Ancients as Mlu-Wal-kyi (Galaxy Smasher), is very much more powerful than any version of shields you have obtained. Perhaps when you get better technology, you will be able to defend yourselves from this weapon."

"President Korian, we offer a Treaty of Friendship towards you and offer our sincere apologies; our sensors were deliberately tampered with by Achean spies so that we would be drawn into the war. But the Acheans, have apologized and sent 14000^O (our currency) to repair the tampering."

The Herculean Triad is a economic and political alliance, (OOC: like NATO or Warsaw Pact) that greatly extends enrgy reserves and shares goodwill between the races of the Galaxy.

All you have to do is ask to join and the Concil of Herclux (the Herculean Triad Council) will vote whether or not to let you in.

AAAUUUGGGHHHH! I just posted a thread on this!

Oh, well, let's keep this one. It's got a better starting post.

IC

I'd like to to have a Treaty with Primate. I think he would be a valuable trading partner.

Oh, yeah, I forgot, I'd like to join.

Herculean Triad:

You are trying to overthrow The BrotherHood!

This will NOT be tolerated. As of now, The BrotherHood declares vendetta on the Herculean Triad and all of its members.

JT 3 posted 04-20-99 06:38 PM ET     Click Here to See the Profile for JT 3    
What? Huh? Who?

How are they trying to overthrow the Brotherhood? By creating an economic alliance? What's so bad about trade?

I am staying neutral for now. But, I am using my peacekeeping ships(in a different Herculian thread) to try and get some peace.

Collins, what did they do?

"So once more unto the breach? Your declaration is foolheardy and uncalled for. The Herculean Triad has been around longer than the Acheans have left Chiron. We are not trying to impose anything but simply invite your species to participate in an economic treaty."

"Brotherhood, I am giving you one last chance to retract this vendetta statement, or face Truxians and Herculean Battle Fleets on all borders. Also after much deliberation, and thought, we have approved the Acheans using Truix and Herculi as beacons for jump points. As of now, they are holding the ceasefire only with the FRK and all other factions are at their disposal. As of now, also, the Acheans, Truxians, and Herculeans are sending a massive task force including 40 Mantis, and 500 Demon Boils, and 300 Shock Quazi-Lo (Truxian Doom Stars) to the Brotherhood home planet. ETA: 5 hours (your time)> If our demand is not meet the fleet will open fire upon all Brotherhood installations and destroy all outposts, colonies, and military units and take no prisoners. We appeal to all other factions to tell The Brotherhood to back down for we do not want to have to destroy another race. The Main Achean Fleet has directed course to major Brotherhood Military installations and are expected to destroy all of them within 1 Earth Week. Also, I have issued an executive decree, authorizing the seizure of all merchant ships suspected of carrying terrorist items to the Brotherhood. The Main Herclux Task Force is right now entering Brotherhood space, and has engaged the Primary Brotherhood Fleet."

JT 3, when you read this message, please reply as fast as you can possibly do it. The Acheans, I and Truxians are offering a Pact, with limited constraints. This shall be only a economic and political pact, not a military pact, YET.

JT 3 posted 04-20-99 08:01 PM ET     Click Here to See the Profile for JT 3    
Whoa, hold on here, people, stop with the fighting. Collins, I do not think it is wise to fight an army that large. You will both have many casualties. Same goes for you, AoYoS. I am not telling either one of you that one is stronger than the other. I am saying that both of you have large fleets and there would be much loss on both sides. If you must fight, fine. But unless there is some major reason to take a side, I will stay neutral.
JT 3 posted 04-20-99 08:06 PM ET     Click Here to See the Profile for JT 3    
I will agree to the economic and political Pact. I probably will not agree to a military Pact, at least for a while, because of you fighting some of the other human Factions.

The Primary Combined Fleet has met with little opposition to the Brotherhoods military. Our losses are:

2 Mantis
239 Demon Boils
1 Shock Quazi-Lo

We have captured the Brotherhood's Primary Fleet and interrogated the officers of it. We have learned of a secret military installation and are redirecting the Secondary Herclux Fleet to intercept. The Achean Task Force is inching closer to the Brotherhood homeworld and has thrashed everything that has been thrown against them. Their losses:

1 Mantis
20 Frigates
23 Mlu-Wal-lo
2000 Triad Officers

Total estimated enemy losses and captures:
2 Doomstars
3 Titans
20 Battleships
30000 Brotherhood officers dead

We have captured a remote Brotherhood colony and proceeding to move the habitants to JT 3's refugee ships.

The Acheans have issued a official statement declaring that they will accept peace offers from all factions, excluding the Brotherhood.

One offensive has been attempted by the Brotherhood and has failed miserably. They attacked our allies moon colony, the Truxians, and meet the dreaded Mlu-Wal-kye. All 20 ships were incinerated immediately.

We are willing to accept a surrender, Ambassador and these are the terms:

1. Unconditional Withdraw from Herculean Triad space

2. Limited Armed Forces on our borders

3. The personal surrender of Ambassador Collins for interrogation. ( He will be released pending the other two statutes.)

Centricate, you can choose how to run your own faction, but all I'm going to say that I would expect a little more than energy credits from the Achaens before things got so peachy between you 2. For now, apology accepted, but do not let it happen again. I am not sure whether I would like to join the Triad or not. Also, letting the Acheans uses your space for jump points is considered an act of war by my faction, and will be treated accordingly.

*OOC*
AoYoS, you've got to learn that we are not as stupid as you think we are. First of all, you're effectively controlling 3 factions, yours, the Truxians, and the Acheans. That in itself is unacceptable and inexscusable. The Achaens are a NPC race, meaning you can't decide who they offer treaties to or not. We had this thing started long before you barged in and screwed it up. Also, it appears you are a superfaction. You are boasting of a new super weapon, which although you do not use, it is in the use of a faction which would most assuredly "protect you." The next offense is that you can only be in possession of 5 Doomstars at a time. Although you will probably say the Truxians aren't your faction, we both know they are. There is absolutely NO escuse for your next offense, which is in your latest post. I quote "If our demand is not meet the fleet will open fire upon all Brotherhood installations and destroy all outposts, colonies, and military units and take no prisoners." Will someone please read that and tell me that it isn't superman? I have found another super quote for your viewing pleasure "(We appeal to all other factions to tell The Brotherhood to back down for) we do not want to have to destroy another race." Please consider my statements.

What's a Mlu-Wal-kye?(I know you explained it in an earlier thread. I forgot what it was. <he says as he puts on a fire proof suit to protect from flames> )

Frankly, I find your arrogance hilarious. The BrotherHood is from 11-dimensional space! Until recently, we could not even imagine how anything could exist in only 3 dimensions! We could crush you and the MOST damage you could do to our ship is very minimal. To help you understand what I am saying, imagine that are 3-dimensional and you are 2-dimensional. The most you could do is damage one plane in the cube of our ship! You think you can take The BrotherHood by storm when the existence of a vast majority of our ships is beyond your comprehension.

Stop thinking you are superman when you aren't anything compared to us.

Oh, dang it, it looks like I'll have to be at war with the Acheans again if Korian gets AoYoS to stop controlling them. Oh, well. At least he won't be controlling three.

AoYoS: I suggest you "merge" your Truxians and Herculians into one Faction. Since they only control two planets that would probably be acceptable(please someone tell me if it's not).

Our advance has ceased. The Brotherhood's Second Fleet has destroyed many of our ships, but has sustained heavy losses.

We have drawn a line that we are not going to cross until we recieve reinforcements and Collins reply to our surrender.

Our Losses:
19 Mantis
230 Demon Boils
20 Shock Quazi-lo
100000 Triad Officers Dead

Enemy Estimates:

3 Doomstars
30 Titans
43 Battleships
400 Support Craft
50000 Officers killed

The Achean Fleet's adavnce has stopped on our orders to wait for the Ambassadors reply.

No losses or fighting between these army and the Brotherhood's army reported.

We appeal for peace Brotherhood.

OOC: I have merged the Truxians and the Herculeans and the NPC race of Acheans will only be contacted with ceasefires only since we are allied with them that is allowed.

Ambassador you never asked us about our dimensional qualities. We are a brother race to the Acheans and incorporated the conquered "Outer Rimmed People" into our collective consciuos. They were a 11-Dimensional race also. As of our issue we have evolved only to 9-dimensions. But with superior technology we can penetrate the barriers as we have shown.

IC-
The Acheans are requesting a ceasefire with all factions so that they can help us pursue this war with the self-righteous brotherhood.

After combined Parliamentary and Council meetings, we are proud to announce that the Truxians and Herculeans are united under one banner. The Primate has become my second, and is very willing to pursue our new race, called the Hercluxians, goals.

WAR FRONT NEWS: The Achean Primary Fleet, has contacted us and has broken the stalemate at the Line but has agreed to fall back to defend the new Republics Borders. So has our primary fleets that are in brotherhood space. The Achean Primary fleet is in my control and are suing for peace because of the oncoming conflict. We believe that the Brotherhood does not understand our intentions to be peaceful. We appeal to them to end this vendetta and pursue a goal within the Triad.

New Race Stats:

Hercluxians

+1 Research
+1 Economy
+1 Planet
-1 Probe
-1 Morale
-1 Effiecency

Social Choices:

Police State

Green

Congratulations on your merge, AoYoS.

It looks like things are now going towards peace. I hope it will continue this way.

The Acheans have pulled back all fleets to their space and we have lost contact with them due to solar flare at their home planet.

We are now no longer allied with the Acheans and they will not use our worlds as beacons.
They laughed at our arrogance to try for peace and issued this statement, " All human factions hear this, no ceasefires are tolerated and the ones we signed were invalid." This comes due to the fact that their emperor was overthrown by radical militarists." The Solar Flares will cause us never be able to be contacted by the Acheans, from long distances ever again.

As for The Herculean Triad, we have changed the name to the Hercluxian EcoPact, and are inviting all peaceful factions to join in with us.

No War Front news to report.

OOC: Korian, i know you aren't stupid. I was pawning this to happen so that I could merge our races back. Supposed story is that the Acheans left Chiron because of Planet, and we are offshoots of them and the Truxians were once a colony of ours but demanded independence.

AoYoS: The Achaens can NOT defend your territory. I do not want peace with the Achaens. All of the sudden, you jump in and expect to control the Achaens. Well I, for one, say NO!! When we think it is time for a cease fire we will vote in the council and one of us will post it.

GNN: (Galactic News Network)

"In a gesture of peace today, the Hercluxian Republic has majorly cut-back on military ships and officers. The suggested cuts are staggering. Cuts are:

Downsizing the Demon Boil and Quazi-Lo design
from 400 to 5. (Doomstars)

Downsizing the Great Boil and Quazi-Li design
from 2350 to 400.

He has commisioned a new ship, with the help of Human and Achean technology, called the StarRunner. He expects this to be the brunt of the defense forces.

Suspected Gains:

Quazi-Ho and Boil Ships increased from 300 to 500.

StarRunner's designed for 200 ships.

"The cutbacks in our military show a jesture of peace towards our human neighbors and we hope that the Brotherhood will see this also." says The Centrimate.

The Merger stands Korian as I said it also defeats all of the +2's in our faction traits. As I said the Truxians and Herculeans were the same race and have agreed to rejoin. If you like I will further lower the traits to suit your needs.

(I am trying to make my faction as peaceful as possible and the Truxians and Herculeans do not exist, only the Hercluxians exist now.)

I have been recognized by three other powers if you do not wish to recognize us as an independent republic and faction that is your own problem. We will remove all delegates from your space and cease contact.

Korian, I think the merger should stand. I mean, they control two planets. We have many factions of the same race, and we control a lot more than two planets.

Yes, compared to you our two planets are more than enough plus our two moon colonies. We have two systems and are currently only building one colony ships to colonize Alpha Truix's 1st planet from there we will expand.

We are not encroaching on anyone's territory or trying to pick a fight with you either, we just want to be recognized as a combined Nation, just as your Union of Liberty was.

I vote YEA to him staying this way.
