The Emperors will was inviolate, his immortal intellect unparalleled. The Children of the Emperor had been cast adrift with their father on this strange world by a being beyond even the Emperors might. Rebuilding was the priority, ensuring the rightful dominion of the Celestial Empire the ultimate objective.

The Emperor surveyed his surrounds. A Xeno race of insectile creatures existed to the northwest, rational hive mind structure, predictable, but to be watched. Greater threats however remained to be observed. The Emperor mused his immortal mind percieving the scurrying of his people as they built up great legions in his name, as wrought great constructs of industry to build the immortal engines concieved of by his genius.

A Brief History on the Numenorians, Part 1:

The Numenor survivors were sailing east from Numenor when a great seastorm rose. Being possibly the best shipbuilders in the universe, their ships survived the storm, but not by much. The sailors quickly made rafts from the hull, and using their oars, they rowed to the closest shore. Landing on a island that was covered by jungles, the Numenorians thanked Iluvatar for their safety, and vowed to explore the world.

They wanted to continue to serve Iluvatar, but their leader, Elros (named after the great king of old), knew of XONES... and of his extreme power. Elros wasn't sure the Survivors could last with all these advanced lifeforms and civilizations around, but the Numenorians, great mapmakers and sailors, would be hopefully be able to explore the world, and establish a great kingdom like that of Numenor.

That is, Numenor before it was roasted alive.

Solitude Forest

"How well are the exercises going?" General Williams asks one of his colonels.

"There, doing quite well. We've just outfitted them with a mixture of energy and conventional weapons. As we speak, they're making maneuvers in the forests of Solitude in the south. There is one thing of matters that has came up."

"What is it?"

The colonel hands General Williams a map of the latest cartography intelligence. "There's word that the Numenorians have established a coastal colony to the south of us."

General Williams takes off his beret "Lovely, not even one year out and already we have other factions trying to encroach into our future expansion to the south. This is really going to cause us to place having a standing and high quality armed forces a top priority."

"Isint what the military exercises in the Solitude Forests suppose to be, an exercise to keep our army in tip top shape."

"Yes, but I wasn't expecting it to happen so soon. I'm sure the people in Solitude are going to have field day with this when they learn the Numenorian expansion to the south. I'm already planning to forward a letter to President Antillies to place in more funding for our military budget." General Williams puts on his beret and faces the colonel "Continue the military exercise, I want to see my men in top shape."

The colonel salutes "Yes, sir", then exits the command tent.

The exercise consisted of the entirety of the armed forces of the Solitude Republic, rotating in two platoon shifts with each platoon competing against each other in the Solitude Forest. Under General William's directives, the exercises are not conducted with live fire, but instead played out like a large militarized game of lazer tag. With the Republic funding it's industrial infrastructure in Solitude, Alderaan City, and Rorikstead, General Williams took it on his own initiative to train the armed forces of the Republic. General Williams, a harden veteran of the Clone Wars, has taken the unorthodox approach, compared to his peers, by issuing his men both direct energy weapons and conventional slug throwers. His reasoning is that the Republic Army should be familiar with all types of weaponry and access to them.

Solitude White House

In the newly constructed west wing of the Solitude White House, President Antilles was reviewing the month's activities. Her Foreign Affairs and Trade department were busy establishing trade networks and contacts were being made one by one. Just a month ago, The Republic of Solitude was an isolated nation, but overnight was thrown into the deep end of Foreign Affairs (Though it's usually business as usual in any start of an IOT game).

"MerrynCorp, SODS, Empire of the Isle, Soviet Russia, Numenors, and the Citadel Republic, are all coming up one by one. It feels like going through several turns of Civilization™ in one week." President Antilles said as she talks amongst her Cabinet.

"There was already tensions flaring between The Hive, SUDS, and The Celestial Empire" said the foreign affairs secretary "Likely an interspeaces and ideological rivalry brewing on that portion of the continent".

Then, the Foreign Affairs and Defense secretary look at one another, then to the President. The Defense secretary presented Hanna his findings "Ma'dam President, there's something of issue that is of great important to us." He then hands Hanna the latest cartography map "The nation known as Numenorians calling themselves the Numenor Survivors, have just recently took up camp south of us. This could seriously jeopardize our future expansions, especially in the south."

"Were not in a position to start waving a big stick around. While General Williams has been conducting his exercises in the Forests of Solitude, we still need to bolster our industrial base in order to establish a working industrial-military complex, should the inevitable realities of War on this dog-eat-dog planet happen."

"We should have a diplomatic approach to this situation. Perhaps draw a line in the borders of where they shouldn't encroach into. While the XONES have it in their hearts that everyone on this planet would be at each others throats until one is left is standing."

"I do agree with your concerns Mr. Secretary, we have to try at least making inroads in Diplomacy to hold off the prospects of war." Hanna said as she writes a letter to the Numenorians."


@Numenorians: We have taken noticed that you've set up camp to the south of us. Please take into consideration that the Republic of Solitude has intrest in expanding southwards in the future. I have set up a border proposal as to prevent future border conflicts in the future. The Republic of Solitude shall keep to the northern border and the Numenorians keep to the south of the border. Attached to this document is the map outlying where the proposed border is located

-President Hanna Antilles

Then, Hanna's Trade Secretary makes a motion "While we have normal trade with everyone else on this planet. We should open up an additional trade agreements with our neighbors. As of now, the Osmow and the Citadel Republic are good candidates to start off additional trade agreements with."

Hanna places her hand under her chin, then for a moment she thinks. "Alright, we can send out these proposals to the two nations that we propose to."


@Citadel Republic & The Osmow - The Solitude Republic proposes open trade between our two nations.

We did not wish to alarm you, but where did you plan for us to go? However, the Numenorians are perfectly fine with this arrangement and agree to it. We are looking to sail out into the ocean for new lands, once the barrier preventing us from seaward expansion extends farther out.

The Isle's orders:
Spend 10 EP on armies, 4 on airmadas and 5 on navies. Have One army each march to each province indicated. Have the navy ferry the soldiers to the places they need to be. Keep the airmada grounded.

Spend the rest on industry.

Greetings command!

I have reached and maped 1/4 of the world. I have done well and setting but I have made discoveries that will... be unexpecting. Not that we need expect this world to be like Gaia but... it is geograthically unusual. Anyrate along with grass and woodland, deserts, tundra, rocky plains and so on... O came across some unuaul lands.

It appears there are signicant amount of land under fungi. These lands tend to be funel plains... which the fungi acts like grass... and funel woods which have human size to New York tower size in one or two cases. I let to see its effects on humans but the fungi does seem to host many life.

I found Volcanic Wastesm where instead of being fertile the ground is hard. It seems to be scorned to the exstream. The lava those is walkable, although such lands would require active volcanos to feed.

I also came across harsh lands that I will label as "Dreaded Plains." These chaotic places are heavilly harsh. Lives there are as harsh as the landscape. It is not without reward; the ground can be quite fertile and water is present but the harshness is... well let say you will be more lucky to drink from a desert with only a bottle of war then a sea of fresh water in these dreaded waste.

Then there is what we call "Nexus Grounds." Energy seems high in presence in these places, with life being unusual. Not only do trees mix with giant fungi but here is other kinds of live here. It is unusual but rewarding never the less.

There is areas known as Unusual Lands. They tend to be... places of pure chaos. Ever saw snow on desert sand? Rain that make things dry naturally? Giant hamster like creatures hunting land snarks? Kinda like that... although not as unusual as the... non-natural feature.

There appears to be Mettellic Grounds that are like metal floors across a area, set in structure. Oddly they blend into the boundering... natural lands. I guess these are set from XENOS for some purpose.

However what I found most especilly... are ruins of cities. I do not know the origin or the fate of these cities but they... hold mysteries. We may have foudn a dead civilization! I will suggest the SODS and the other powers consider investigating these places.

That is all I have for now. A full map will be granded later. I will attempt to link the map to all nations in honour to the Ozerov Principle that all we scientists that came from the S.U.D.S follow to the letter. Honesty is Ozerov's policy. We will follow this.

Doctor Montgomery Shearer signing off!



OOC: the map is completed but I wish to give the feeling of its development.

Logs - Day 31 - Month 1 - New Year 1

The construction of PURGATORY is complete. It is on the base of the mountain my people crashed on. I am still in the EXODUS on the mountain, overlooking my people from the wreck. Already they are rebuilding it, and it shall serve as the capitol building of the SINGULARITY. I watch my people from it, as they move about and follow my orders in PURGATORY below. In time this will be the place of the ASCENSION of the finite beings into immortal and perfect beings such as myself. But until then they must be guided like the animals they are. Never forget though, GOD will protect his people, even if they are finite.

I realise that we will end up with hilarious amounts of expansion due to the vagueness of the rules.

To clarify, armies and airmadas are both 5 gold a piece. Lemme edit that in to avoid mega lulz.
