News from Garibaldi
The Director passed away yesterday after an aneurysm burst during a late night planning session on the future of Foundational government. Early medical and police investigations do not indicate foul play. As succession law is not yet in place an emergency conference between civilian and military officials has laid out the framework of a temporary administrative structure to ensure continuance of governance and the stability of the Foundation.
Although the full details have not yet been agreed upon the Foundation will be governed by a joint civilian/military government with the the civilian arm having precedence. The mayor of Garibaldi City, Jerry Michaels, has been appointed First Mayor of Garibaldi and Admiral Bruce Sinclair has been appointed Marshall.
To: All nations (especially our neighbours of Allen, Hernandez, Nyamyeke and Vegetti)
From: Garibaldi
The Garibaldi Foundation seeks only to improve the lives of our citizens. We do not seek blood or conquest. With that and the lack of recent hostilities, we would like to invite all states that think as we do to sign treaties of peace and mutual diplomatic recognition with us.
Jerry Michaels,
First Mayor of Garibaldi
Please note that I've opted to halve the cost of Transport Modules after comparing ship costs to faction incomes. Note also that this is roughly the 30 hour warning.

Diplomacy:
From: People's Democracy of Hernandez

Seems fair enough. We accept your peace proposal.
From: Republican Government-in-Exile
To: Garibaldi Foundation
As you wish. Let there be peace.
Obligatory Rule Miscellany:
Ships may either move or bombard in a turn, never both.
My Jump Feasibility Assessment Device (i.e. ruler marked with the max distance) measures from center of origin system to center of target system, not edge to edge. Thus, Goodman-Foster is just inside the limit of possibility, while Gamelin-Mackenzie is just beyond.
Instituting a Two-Missed-Orders and You're Out policy. Popcornlord and Lord of Elves have one more update before being dropped.

Hmm... I should set an order cutoff - meant it to be last Friday, but as I got precisely none, I suppose I can't fault everybody. Please submit orders for Friday evening.
Roughly a 24-hour warning, reminding everyone except filli_noctus that they have not sent orders, and further reminding Lord of Elves and Popcornlord that they will be considered to have dropped if they fail to send in orders again.
OOC: The delay with this update was caused by several things – 1) Four space battles, two of which were AI vs AI. Stupid me. 2) Full-time employment kicking in. 3) Me being a bit of a putz. Blackbard finally messaged me about it today, and for getting my butt into gear he receives a sizzlin' 2 EP.
Update: 4th Quarter 2520
The interstellar civil war that seemed dormant for so long reignited this quarter, as multiple factions took on the self-proclaimed First Great and Bountiful Human Empire. The government-in-exile based at Ouromov conquered the Caderousse system, and the Nyamekye Empire destroyed the Imperial garrison at Gulashy, but the biggest news by far was the joint invasion of the Lacaille system by a massive Black Shogunate/Nyamekye fleet. Lacaille is now under the control of the Black Shogunate, and the Imperial government has relocated to the Larssen system. The Black Shogunate has become the premier economic power of known space.
In news in a distant second, the People's Democracy of Hernandez has conquered the Vegetti regime's system of Lermontov and massacred assorted government officials and their little dogs, too.
Far from the strife (well, most of it), the Garibaldi Foundation is rumoured to have developed an effective counter to space cannon weaponry. The First Great and Bountiful Human Empire developed plans for a giant battleship this year, but ultimately, what with the war, nothing came of it.
Diplomacy: From: Human Government-in-Exile (Ouromov)
To: Black Shogunate (Musamba), Kennicott Free State (Kennicott)
We will shortly be liberating Mutaguchi from the crippled Empire's corrupt rule. We welcome any assistance you care to provide, but would take it poorly if you interfered.
From: Republican Government-in-Exile (Vegetti)
To: All
The communist government in Hernandez has perpetrated unspeakable atrocities against the rightful rulers of Lermontov (us). Aid in our retaliatory crusade would be well-remembered.
From: People's Democracy of Hernandez (Hernandez)
To: All Do you not see how the Vegetti government pretends to the continuation of the old Republic that we all destroyed those many years ago? Come, join with us and finish the task!
From: First Great and Bountiful Human Empire (Larssen)
To: All factions bordering the Black Shogunate (Musamba), Nyamekye Empire (Nyamekye), and Human Government-in-Exile (Ouromov)
Um. Help?
Map and stats coming tomorrow, orders please on Friday evening.
Hrrng. My laptop with all the update files is throwing a tantrum for the present. A few military notes from the update - Mutaguchi fell to the Ouromov regime, Shakhmatov was conquered by the Black Shogunate, Von Reuther was conquered by the Black Shogunate and handed over to Nyamekye, the Nyamekye fleet assaulting Vitow was defeated, leading to the loss of the accompanying transports, and Vegetti bought several Battalions, holding the line against the People's Democracy of Hernandez. Garibaldi and the Elder Children continue to peacefully develop, keeping pace with all of the militarily expanding powers except the Black Shogunate.
Will update properly when able. My humblest apologies.
