In particular to any joint action against the Church and League rebellion, I specifically mean an invasion of Holy Terra and Leagueheim. What remaining worlds they still occupy besides their two stronghold planets I believe we can all trust to each individual House forces. While it may take decades to permanently pacify, these fringe systems are no threat compared to the second and third most important planets in the Empire.

To hold any meaningful territory against the MASSIVE hoards of troops on Holy Terra and Leagueheim would require a significant portion of any Houses military, and let us be honest with each other here, if House Hawkwood were to unilaterally invade Holy Terra, each Great House would decry the act as nothing short of blasphemy and/or treason.

But if we leave them alone, they will rebuild, and they will declare war on us again and again until hey have wiped us out.

This way we can all be assured of no one House trying to advance itself to the detriment of the others while at the same time forever ending the Rebellion against the lawful Regency.

Edit: They are as deadly as genetic engineered assassins.

Judging by their stats, they should mop the floor with assassins.

Yep, in the Lore they sound like the Terminator but the where banned because of one flaw once they eliminate their target they would start eliminating all other possible threats even their operators trying to shut them down.  See yet again the Church was right about Second Republic heretical technology.

Sk128234, is the turn working alright with the unit.dat installed on your turn?

((about to find out!))

Excerpts from this year's edition of THE TALON:

PEACE IN OUR TIME; 20% OFF ALL ITEMS!  After Lady Santiago's gracious offer of protection, the League and the Hazat declare mutual peace.  The Church has yet to follow in their footsteps, deciding instead to bomb Hazat holdings.  Lady Santiago continues to proclaim herself Defender of the True Faith.

Space Burgher Destroys Spacetime: Local prophets report that the Pancreator used his Holy Digit to click upon a strange man floating in space outside of Byzantium 2^us, resulting in a collapse of the Universe and resulting in an alternate timeline.  The only discernable difference between
the Alpha Timeline and our new Beta Timeline seems to be a small stock of guns on casino liners throughout the Empire. ((I even knew not to click on the little guy but I couldn't resist, I guess.  At least it was at the beginning of the turn.))

No House is an Island: Fleet forces continue to leave Li Halan space.  High ranking officers insist that they maintain the right to travel through Li Halan territory; they are simply adhering to the request as much as is possible without compromising the safety of the Empire.

Rome Wasn't Zoned In a Day: After discovering a laboratory violating local zoning ordinance, furious bureaucrats are accused of burning the building to the ground in the name of law and order.  ((Realized that a pre-existing Lab was not accessible by the Church and razed it.  Didn't take advantage of it.))


((Turn sent.  I actually did have a proclamation typed up for the Defender/Chancellor thing, but I ended up typing it again on the train from work so we wouldn't be held up too too much.  I did make a neat emblem though, which hopefully sees more use than just on a coin:))

OOC: Did you forward the unit.dat file onto Gollor too?

[Gollor]

This turn seems fine. All transports have 1/10 attack.

Dear Assembly,

It seems that my actions were met with the incomprehension and aggression. Although i am sure this has hidden roots i wish to forget about it for now.
I ask for you forgiveness and I inquire how to repay for my deeds.

Lord Vladimir Decados the (at least at the moment) Head of Imperial Eye.

(Lord Flavius bangs his head on his desk in frustration) Seriously, Vladimir you destroyed the Agora on Apshai too!!!

I'm sure it was an accident....he meant to destroy the one in Kish instead. 

But in all seriousness, Decados has a valid excuse: His House Colors are Green, Agoras are Green, and presumably most Decados installations are painted in their national color.  So the Decados soldiers entered those Agoras thinking they were Decados storehouses.  A perfectly honest accident.

Vladimir:

The rabble tells me that not only have you sacked another Agora, but your justification is merely based on your House's questionable fashion choices??

Is there something about my strongly-worded suggestion that you didn't pick up on?

Lord Flavius, the Santiago's just called you rabble.  Are you just going to take that lying down?

I'll have you know that the Hazat wear a noble scarlet, while the Patriarch wears a vulgar claret matching the sacramental wine he's been chugging in his cell office.

It was much less a Palace and more of an eclectic mess of architectural history ranging from the ancient Urth Great Wall of Pittsburg to the Second Republic bunkers of Byzantium Secundus. Gunfire splashed against it as mercenaries on both sides still fought and died just outside the broken walls. Against the hellish music of dying men and thunderous war the banner of House Hawkwood was raised above the castle donjon.

Safely inside a motley collection celebrated at the sight, soldiers armed with both black powder muskets and laser assault guns raised above their heads. Warriors armored in poorly made chainmail and precious powered armor cheered as their leader clad in blue stepped up the dais to the sitting figure now deprived of his merchant kingdom.

Considered one of the most powerful men alive, the Janizary could only watch as over a thousand years of Muster hegemony fell to ruin. He fixed a hateful stare at the arrogant youth approaching him and sputtered,
"Do you know what you've done? You've just made yourself the biggest target in the entire Empire. Every merc in the galaxy is gonna be after the price you just put on your own soft head. You're dead kiddo."

Gesturing to the assembled cutthroats and thugs surrounding him, the nobleman grinned easily and replied,
"I have never felt so secure with such trustworthy friends at my side. Do you know why? Plenty would kill for a single rusty talon, but they know what the rest of humanity is slowly waking up to."

He leaned in close to the Janizary and pointed to the flag fluttering outside in the smoky haze,
"They are on the winning side. Your master is gone, Chainer, soon enough the only ones left holding the leash will be us privileged few."

Suddenly the Janizary felt something painfully cold click around his neck. Gasping at the realization he panicked and feebly struggled as his world came crashing down.

"I trust you're familiar with slave collars, but I'll be sure to re-acquaint you in their usage. Gentlemen! I believe this fellow will be my new royal jester!" announced Godric 'the Bastard' Hawkwood.

=============================================================

Let it be known across the Empire that the Muster has been righteously punished for their murder of my family and their den of stinking evil taken away from them. The planet Bannockburn is now a part of our House Dominion and shall be kept safe from the barbarism of the Merchant League.

In accordance with our pledge of Noblesse Oblige, Lord Protector Alvarex shall be freeing any slave taken before the worlds liberation. He names his son Godric the new Duke of Bannockburn and declares him legitimate.

Most Noble Lords and Ladies of the Empire,

My most humble master is pleased to announce the christening of our newest Dreadnought in honor of the Al-Malik.  This great and glorious warship has been named Donald the Great, Scourge of the League.  It has departed Kish in the service of Lady Santiago Hazat's pacification efforts of the planet Grail.  House Keddah the ancient enemies of the Al-Malik shall tremble in fear when this warship arrives in orbit above their home world!!!

Most Humbly,

Wei Lan - Li Halan Emissary to the Five Great Noble Houses
