Well... now that the Federation has achieved it's goal it is time to pass the initiative back to the Klingon alliance.

U6.
The ISC is proud to announce another moment of ensured galactic peace.

The ISC and SELTORIAN have just formalized a mutual defense pact, together with the Triaxians, we have mutual defense against any agression.

Hopefully this will put an end to the kind of aggression conducted by the qari and her cronies.

Now if any of our members are attacked, it will be considered an attack on all.

Let peace reign!

By John Stiff (Tarkin22180) on Wednesday, May 23, 2018 - 07:49 pm: Edit

Aggression is in the eye of the beholder. The Qari and "this crony" have defended our interests. I do emphasize "defended". Yet the ISC and Triaxians continue their aggressive ways against us.

I trust that you explained to my peaceful Seltorian neighbor that the ISC is a member of the Klingon alliance. And they and their allies have already attacked our ally the Furtangy. Not to mention the ISC/Triaxian attack against the Qari and the Triaxian attack against the Jindarian Confederation. The Klingons annexed two non-aligned systems, prompting the peaceful Federation Council to react. It takes a lot to get the Federation Council to demand a military attack.

The rest of the galaxy cannot take such "ISC peace" much longer. It is a deception.

Right back at you - an attack against one of us (Qari, Jindarian Confederation, and our allies) is an attack against all.

I trust that the Seltorians know the difference between defense and out right aggression on the part of their new allies.

Yes indeed ISC, may the "peace of the Jindarian Confederation" reign through out the galaxy.

Lol,

It was the qari who bullied a trx Sq off their system.
It was the qari which crossed into isc space, all the way to our systems.
It was the qari that advance this very turn INTO isc space.

It was the qari who ripped up a border treaty after it was all but agreed too.

By Kurt Byanski (Kurtski) on Wednesday, May 23, 2018 - 09:17 pm: Edit

Tholians don't border the parties in questions, but we would like to understand the situation better. Based on what we have seen and has been discussed here, we believe this is the situation:

The Qari took a system from the Triaxians and proceeded to annex significant amounts of space north of that system. Yet, neither the Qari or the Jindarian Confederation considered this to be an act of aggression.

The Jindarian Confederation attacked and killed a Triaxian ship or ships. Yet the Jindarian Confederation does not consider this to be aggressive.

The Jindarian Confederation has admitted to materially supporting the Qari attack on the Triaxians, but do not consider this to be an act of aggression.

Galactic rumor mill hints that the Qari attacked multiple ISC survey vessels, but they do not consider this to be aggressive.

Based on the changes in the map over the last few turns, the Triaxians appear to be reclaiming their space. Now...both the Qari and the Jindarian Confederation believe this to be an aggressive act of war.

Rumors also indicate the Jindarian Confederation invaded Triaxian space, but lost some ships for their trouble. Somehow this is a one sided act of aggression on the part of the Triaxian.

The Holdfast is concerned and puzzled by this stance. It is illogical. It would appear that any act of self defense or self determination by either the Triaxian or the ISC is considered an act of war against the Qari and the Jindarian Confederation (and any other unidentified "crony").

Having been on the wrong side of a genocide attempt, we recommend the ISC and Triaxian take these threats very seriously and do whatever is necessary to protect themselves against it. If this conflict encroaches on Tholian space we Will.

It was the qari who bullied a trx Sq off their system.

Answer ==> NO, the Trix attempted to take a Qari system. No bullying, only self-defense.

It was the qari which crossed into isc space, all the way to our systems.

Answer ==> NO, that was not ISC space. Again, only self-defense of Qari space.

It was the qari that advance this very turn INTO isc space.

Answer ==> NO, again, not ISC space.


Tholians don't border the parties in questions, but we would like to understand the situation better. Based on what we have seen and has been discussed here, we believe this is the situation

The Qari took a system from the Triaxians and proceeded to annex significant amounts of space north of that system. Yet, neither the Qari or the Jindarian Confederation considered this to be an act of aggression.

Answer ==> As above, NO, it was a Qari system. It was clearly an act of self-defense of Qari space.

The Jindarian Confederation attacked and killed a Triaxian ship or ships. Yet the Jindarian Confederation does not consider this to be aggressive.

Answer ==> Well yes, we admit this attack, it was in the way! Translating, the Triaxian ship was in Qari space.

The Jindarian Confederation has admitted to materially supporting the Qari attack on the Triaxians, but do not consider this to be an act of aggression.

Answer ==> I admit to supporting our Qari ally. Their space was violated by the Triaxians and ISC. It only natural that we would come their aid. Again, self-defense.

Galactic rumor mill hints that the Qari attacked multiple ISC survey vessels, but they do not consider this to be aggressive.

Answer ==> There are multiple ISC survey vessels? Thanks for the heads up. Again, at least one was in Qari space and attacked.

Based on the changes in the map over the last few turns, the Triaxians appear to be reclaiming their space. Now...both the Qari and the Jindarian Confederation believe this to be an aggressive act of war.

Answer ==> No, the Triaxians are invading Qari space. Yes, it IS an act of aggression on their part, not the Qari or Jindarian Confederation.

Rumors also indicate the Jindarian Confederation invaded Triaxian space, but lost some ships for their trouble. Somehow this is a one sided act of aggression on the part of the Triaxian.

Answer ==> I will not confirm if we lost some ships. Not aggression. Just "tit for tat". Note, we did not initiate combat. The Triaxian invaded Jindarian space. Our self-defense reaction was justified.

The Holdfast is concerned and puzzled by this stance. It is illogical. It would appear that any act of self defense or self determination by either the Triaxian or the ISC is considered an act of war against the Qari and the Jindarian Confederation (and any other unidentified "crony").

Answer ==> Puzzled? How can this be? The ISC and Triaxians were the aggressor here. They invaded our space.

Having been on the wrong side of a genocide attempt, we recommend the ISC and Triaxian take these threats very seriously and do whatever is necessary to protect themselves against it. If this conflict encroaches on Tholian space we Will.

Answer ==> Are you threatening us?

It was the qari who ripped up a border treaty after it was all but agreed too.

Answer ==> What treaty? There was no agreement reached. I applaud the Qari for making the attempt for a treaty after experiencing this aggression by the ISC and Triaxians.

Comment ==> Now the ISC and Triaxians are threatening us for defending ourselves. It is rumored that the Triaxian Prime communicated with the Jindarian Confederation Emperor in private saying in effect - we are at war with you. I thanked the Triaxian Prime for the notice. It is rare that a galactic power actually announces that they are at war with you. So Tholian Prime, do you logically conclude that the ISC and Triaxian are the aggressors?

Before thousands of BPV are lost on both sides May I Jindy Emperor of the Galaxy;) suggest that everyone stops where they are now talk and come to some kind of settlement before it is too late, The Triaxian is upset over a planet that would have remained a minor if it was under there control, ok $ settlement can be reached I am sure, instead of loosing thousands of BPV over it, this whole war was started in my eyes over this system, ISC seems to be saying that they claim space all the way to the map edge, the Qari got there first (looking at the maps - I have no information that ISC ships got there first as I have no data, if I am wrong please post data), can all sides come to a stop (no ship advancements) to give talks time to develop?

Openings are available, email me if interested.

By John D Berg (Kerg) on Wednesday, May 30, 2018 - 08:32 am: Edit

The ISC never claimed map edge, and even had a border treaty all set to go with the Qari, which they suddenly tossed out.

I think the poor Qari got some bad advice somewhere.

I agree though, the issue is that TRX system, why cant you two work it it before I can no longer hold back my reigns???

Here is more proof of treacherous Triaxian aggression. They sent a spy into Jindarian territory. Fortunately, he was detected and chased away.

Galactic Intel Service

Recent news of the war in the Northwest galactic map indicates the Frax have liberated WW29 and the Klingons gave the Frax 2 sub pens shipyards which will be put to full use immediately. An alliance key spokebeing stated, "This was a great win for our cause. The Klingon occupation was horrible. Intel found on the planet shows plans to invade Lyran space in 3 years by the ISC/Hydran/Klingon War Alliance and it's lackeys. Gentlebeings everywhere should take note of this genocide mentality and rebel against them and join together to make them understand peace." Names withheld to protect the innocent.
