=Hegemon Announces Talks With Skrell!=
'''News Article'''


Since first contact with humanity and the [[Skrell]] in 2403, many Unathi have left their homeworld of [[Moghes]] - whether as refugees, corporate employees, or simply to seek their fortune in the stars. The fires of the [[Contact War]] exacerbated this, as much of Moghes was left uninhabitable by nuclear war. By 2465, Unathi can be found across nearly the entirety of the [[Orion Spur]], in some capacity or another.
'''Publisher: Sinta Articles'''


Unathi are a very communal species, and this tends to be reflected in their enclaves abroad - outside of rare cases such as [[Ouerea]], Unathi communities tend to be insular, and keep to their traditional ways rather than adapting to new cultures. Those Unathi who do adopt local ways and customs are generally the more recent generations of immigrants, or from non-traditional groups to begin with such as the [[Aut'akh]] communes.

==Unathi in the Solarian Alliance==
'''Editors: Triogenix'''


Unathi interaction with the [[Sol Alliance]] has always been limited - though Solarian exploration vessels did make first contact, their involvement was considerably more limited when compared to that of the [[Nralakk Federation]]. Due to the Solarian reputation of xenophobia, not many Unathi seek to visit, and to date none have ever been granted Solarian citizenship. The only Unathi community in Solarian space of any note was the [[Mictlan#Unathi_on_Mictlan|Free City of Vezdukh]] on the planet Mictlan - however, following the Solarian Collapse and the planet's annexation into the Republic of Biesel, there are now no permanent Unathi communities within Alliance space.
20/04/2466


Though some of the Solarian warlords of the [[Human Wildlands]] had business dealings with [[Unathi Piracy|Unathi pirates]], these dealings have for the most part ceased as the last of the warlord states either collapsed or were integrated into the newformed [[Solarian Reconstruction Mandates|Reconstruction Mandates]]. This exposure means that the reputation Unathi have in many of the outlying regions of the Alliance is far from a pleasant one, with most contact coming in the form of pirates, smugglers and other such ne'er-do-wells.

==Unathi in the Republic of Biesel==
Hegemon Not'zar reaches out to the Nralakk Federation, hoping that [[Change on the Horizon Arc|recent upheavals]] will allow old grudges to be laid to rest.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">


The [[Republic of Biesel]] has always been a cultural melting pot, with any manner of life from across the Spur being found within its territory - and the Unathi are no exception to this. Following the end of the Contact War, many refugees from the newly created [[The Wasteland|Wasteland]] fled to Tau Ceti, and many more have come in the employ of the Spur's megacorporations, seeking fortune in the stars. To many Unathi - whether lucky enough to have been spared from nuclear devastation or fleeing the spreading Wasteland - the torch on the Republic's flag is a beacon of hope; that they might find wealth, glory and a new home far away from the ruins of Moghes. While Unathi can be found all throughout the Republic, there are some Unathi communities of particular note.
In a surprising announcement from Skalamar today, Hegemon Not’zar Izweski announced that he intends to hold a diplomatic summit with the Nralakk Federation, which will be led by High Speaker Seleta Sarnac. The office of the High Speaker followed up on this, stating that Hegemon Not’zar understands that there is a long and often-troubled history between Sinta and Skrell, and he hopes that the two nations can enter into a more prosperous relationship in future.  


===Notable Unathi Communities in the Republic of Biesel===
The talks are set to take place on Ouerea, in several weeks’ time. Many have speculated as to the Hegemon’s choice to invite the Skrell delegation to Ouerea rather than Moghes - while some believe it is simply due to the planet’s large Skrell population, others believe that the Hegemon intends to call the Skrell to account for the planet’s occupation during the Contact War.


====Mendell City - The Akhanzi Exiles====
The Skrell delegation’s agenda, as well as who their representative will be, remains to be seen. The office of the High Speaker confirmed to us this morning, however, that the Nralakk Federation has accepted the Hegemon’s invitation. Their envoys will likely be en route to Uueoa-Esa already, and many wait apprehensively to see what the Federation hopes to get from these talks.


Following the [[Unathi_Recent_Events#The_Iron_Crusades_and_Religious_Tensions_(2460-2461)|Iron Crusade]], when many of their oldest temples were burned, the [[Unathi Religion#Th'akh|Th'akh]] monks of the Akhanzi Order fled the Izweski Hegemony for greener pastures. They found sanctuary in the Republic of Biesel, who granted them refugee status. The Order, under the guidance of Vuthix Ahkandi, established a new temple and spiritual library in Mendell City, located in District 10. Though the power of the Maraziite Order who persecuted them has been broken in the Hegemony, the Akhanzi Order have not returned to Moghes, choosing instead to try and share their wisdom as best they can from across the stars.
Some among the nobility have been outspoken against the Hegemon’s decision, however - with many protesting the inviting of Skrell to Izweski space, blaming them for everything from the Ouerean Rebellion to the Contact War itself. Perhaps the most outspoken of these was Lord Juyzi Izaku of Mudki, who invited representatives of Sinta Articles to a press conference in the city to issue his statement.  


Aside from the shamans who fled to Biesel, many Th'akh faithful have since emigrated from Moghes to visit the new temple. The residential areas around the newfound home of the Akhanzi Order have rapidly become populated by Unathi immigrants. A great number of these Unathi are from rural communities close to the sites of the old Akhanzi Temples, and acclimation has been difficult for many who are unfamiliar with the language, customs and culture of Tau Ceti. However, their community is a tight-knit one, and so far they have persisted through any and all adversity that the Republic may present them.
Lord Izaku was certainly passionate on the matter, claiming that ''"The Skrell, they get inside a man’s thoughts, to twist his mind and strip his honor! You see them, small and weak as they are, and you think they are harmless, but they can manipulate your very spirit - look at the slaughter on Ouerea, barely more than five years ago! It was driven by them, twisting innocent Sinta to anarchy and murder, and now the Hegemon wishes to treat with them? He must be careful, lest he find himself dancing on their vile and twisted strings.”''


====Ashton - The Escapees====
While the Lord of Mudki is certainly the most outspoken, he is not the only one of the nobility to object to these talks. Several among the nobility have petitioned the Hegemon to turn away from this plan, citing the occupation of Ouerea and subsequent rebellion as proof that the Skrell cannot be trusted to negotiate in good faith.


In 2452, a group of five [[The_Wasteland#Clan_"Gawgaryn"_-_The_Punished_Clans|Gawgaryn]] launched an assault on the Izweski stronghold of Camp Integrity, seizing several trade shuttles docked there and forcing their pilots to pick up hundreds of Unathi from across the Wasteland. These shuttles then set course for Tau Ceti, in the hopes of finding sanctuary from the wastes across the stars. The escapees applied for refugee status with the Republic of Biesel, and were granted it - though the bold raiders who stole the shuttles were extradited to the Izweski Hegemony, to face execution.  
We at Sinta Articles hope for a resolution that is beneficial to the Hegemony and its people. As always, we shall keep our readers updated on these talks as they develop.


The fledgling Republic, dealing with its newly-won independence, resettled the refugees on the outskirts of Ashton, an agricultural settlement on the continent of Selene. Though at first things were difficult, the skills that many of the refugees already had were able to be put to use effectively in the farms surrounding the city. As of 2465, the Unathi population in Ashton has grown steadily, and has integrated well with the local population - though the work in the farms of Ashton may be difficult, and very few Unathi in the community have managed to afford their own land instead of simply working for the wealthier human landowners of the region, compared to the Wasteland it may as well be a paradise.

====Mendell City - The Razortail Enclave====
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
=Ormish Jrolk Departs For Alien Stars=
'''News Article'''


A group of Aut'akh have made their home in District 11 of Mendell City - known as one of the most violent and dangerous districts of the city. The 'Razortail Enclave', as they have become known, have largely turned to crime in order to survive. More information on them can be found [[Aut'akh#The_Razortail_Enclave,_"the_Ruffians"|here.]]
'''Publisher: Warble Enquirer'''


====Mendell City - The Bastard Hatchlings====
'''Writer: RustingWithYou'''


Another Unathi enclave in District 11, the Bastard Hatchlings are an Unathi gang formed largely in response to the existing crime in the district, as a form of protection for the Unathi migrant workers living in the area. As the years have gone on, however, the gang has expanded its operations - gaining a major foothold in the Mendell City drug trade. Though they are far from the Hegemony, and engaging in what would unquestionably considered as deeply dishonorable behavior, the Bastard Hatchlings are largely Sk'akh faithful, and cling to their own version of the Warrior's Code that is, at least on the surface, similar to that practiced in Izweski space.
'''Editors: Triogenix, Brotendo'''


The Hatchlings are often even more staunchly traditionalist than Unathi actually in the Hegemony, clinging to ideas of a distant and glorious culture as they struggle to survive the streets of Mendell. Perhaps it is this that has led to frequent and violent clashes with the Razortail Enclave - as much over ideology as territory or any other material concern.
26/04/2466


Members or affiliates of the Hatchlings are often hired as muscle by other criminal syndicates, and the stereotype of the Unathi hitman is one that has already made its mark on Bieselite culture, with many holovids and films produced in Biesel featuring Unathi in similar roles. To the vast majority of Unathi, this stereotype is an offensive one and one often protested against firmly.

====Valkyrie - The Fortune-Seekers====
The Federation's representative departs for Ouerea.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">


[[Hephaestus Industries]] has a large presence on Biesel's moon, as well as within the Hegemony - so it should be no surprise that many Unathi migrant workers were brought there by the megacorporation. In the shipyards, docks and factories of Valkyrie, Unathi workers can be seen, with entire clans having made the journey across the stars in the hopes of finding a new life in Tau Ceti.
Grand Advisor of Economic Development Ormish Jrolk has announced their temporary departure from Federation space today - leading a delegation to the planet Ouerea, a warm and hospitable world currently under the rule of the Izweski Hegemony. The ruler of the Hegemony, Hegemon Not’zar Izweski, extended formal invitations to the Nralakk Federation to send a delegation to Ouerea, in the hopes of laying to rest past hostilities between Unathi and Skrell.  


The idea of this 'Valkyrian Dream' began as a Hephaestus marketing slogan, to encourage Unathi to move to the Republic as cheap labour. However, over the years it has become a reality, as the megacorporation increasingly relies on the moon's Unathi population to operate its Valkyrian facilities. Unathi have seeped into every part of Valkyrie, rising through ranks both civil and corporate into positions of power - and for these Unathi, the Valkyrian Dream may truly be fulfilled.  
The Unathi, for those of our readers who are not aware, rapidly descended into global nuclear warfare following first contact with the Federation and the Solarian Alliance - during which a delegation of Federation diplomats was sent in the hopes of brokering peace between the two warring sides, and preventing needless loss of life. These delegates were murdered, their shuttle shot down by the group known as the ‘Traditionalist Coalition’ (Unrelated to the Homeworld Traditionalist Coalition party), a radical collection of Unathi micro-states opposed to further dealings with the Federation and humanity.  


This is the largest Unathi community in Tau Ceti, and Sinta from all walks of life and faiths can be found here. Sk'akh churches and Th'akh shrines can be found here, though the Aut'akh and Si'akh faiths are not present, with the former preferring the company of their own kind and the latter largely being relegated to Moghes. As such, the culture is an odd melting pot from across Moghes, with food, music, faith and tradition from nearly everywhere melding together into a culture that is unique to Valkyrie, but an unquestionably Sinta one.  
Since that day, the Federation has had little contact with the Unathi - though for several decades, Federation officials administrated the colony on Ouerea, due to the Hegemon’s inability to do so during wartime. Following the end of what the Unathi have come to call the ‘Contact War’, the Federation graciously returned control of Ouerea to the Unathi, though a substantial Skrell population remains on the planet.  


The Unathi of Valkyrie are, to many, a model community - hard workers, diligent in their duties and ambitious in the pursuit of a better life for themselves and their kin. Others, however, resent them for their Hephaestus ties, or how they tend to look down on less well-off groups of Unathi in the Republic - particularly criminal groups such as the Razortails or the Bastard Hatchlings. To many of the Unathi living in poverty in Mendell, the Valkyrian Unathi are nothing but obedient lapdogs, happy to trade the Hegemon's boot on their neck for that of Joseph Dorn or Titanius Aeson.
Reportedly, the delegation was approved with an overwhelming majority by the Grand Council, with only the Homeworld Traditionalist Coalition voting against. Coalition leader Overseer Nalo Gir-Roq referred to the delegation as “a mistake” during an address to the Council, claiming that for the Federation to involve ourselves further in the affairs of the Spur at large only serves to weaken our position on the interstellar stage. The Coalition was thoroughly outvoted, however, with all other parties standing in favor of the Ouerean talks. Grand Advisor Jrolk and the Federalist League cited the dangers of pirate and Marauder activity on the Federation’s southern border, claiming that forming stronger ties to the nations of the Sparring Sea is a proactive measure to ensure our national security against such threats in future - while voices from the Free Skrell Union cited establishing further connections to Hephaestus Industries as a key reason for building diplomatic ties to the Hegemony.


====Luthien - The Pact====
The talks are scheduled to begin in several weeks' time. Questions of whether these talks will lead to future involvement in Unathi affairs, or further connection with alien nations, remain unanswered for now - though the Federation watches eagerly to see what will come of the Ouerean summit.


Another Aut'akh commune in Biesel, the Unathi of the Luthien Pact work closely with the megacorporations, granting them a better quality of life than many of their kin elsewhere in the Republic - though at the cost of their prized freedom.

====Unathi on Mictlan====
'''Publisher: Sinta Articles'''


As the Contact War ravaged Moghes, Unathi fled across the Spur - whether to escape the victorious Hegemony, or simply out of desperation as their ancestral homes were swallowed by atomic fire. A large group of these Unathi fled to the territory of the Solarian Alliance, hoping that the humans would grant them asylum from the devastation their homeworld faced. While the Alliance did not turn them away, they wished to divert these Unathi from the Jewel Worlds, and thus the Vezdukh Refugee Camp was established on the planet Mictlan, for holding and processing the thousands of Unathi refugees seeking to enter the Alliance. Both Hegemonic and Traditionalist refugees were sent there, and forced into making a new life on an alien world.
'''Writer: RustingWithYou'''


Eventually, the refugee camp grew into a true city - dubbed in 2453 as the 'Free City of Vezdukh' by the locals. The city grew prosperous, and integrated further into Mictlani society, creating something wholly unique - a hybrid of Mictlani democracy and Unathi tradition, where even the lowliest peasant of Moghes could rise into the newformed aristocracy of the city. Following the Solarian Collapse and Mictlan's annexation by the Republic of Biesel, the Unathi of Mictlan have largely been in favor of the Bieselite presence - to them, one distant human government is much the same as another, and nearly all of them have welcomed the opportunity to become full citizens of the Republic, rather than the nebulous refugee status they had held previously.
'''Editors: Triogenix'''


However, this is not a belief shared by all, with some of the younger and bolder Unathi of the Free City seeing in Biesel's presence the same corporate hand that is wrapped around the neck of the Hegemony. While it is a rare site, some Unathi have been reported among the [[Mictlan#Founding_Movement_and_the_Samaritans|Samaritan movement]] fighting for independence from the Republic, believing that the people of Mictlan should claim their own destiny instead of bowing to foreign masters - whether Solarian or Bieselite.

==Unathi in the Coalition of Colonies==
The talks on Ouerea begin, and speculation abounds on what each side hopes to gain.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">


There are not many Unathi in the [[Coalition of Colonies]] - its distance from Moghes and smaller Unathi population does not encourage immigration compared to Biesel, and the Coalition tends to be wary of Unathi due to the problem of various Unathi pirate fleets raiding on its southern borders, whether of their own volition or in the pay of other interstellar powers. However, the Coalition does have some Unathi dwelling there, for various reasons. Hephaestus often brings Unathi workers from the Hegemony to its operations within the Coalition, with some Unathi being assigned to [[Burzsia|Burzsia I]], the megacorporation's regional headquarters. While not many of these workers stay for long, some have stuck it out and gained citizenship within the Coalition - though this is a difficult choice for many with clans or families back in Izweski space. Perhaps as a result of this, many Guwan in Hephaestus employ have sought out work in the Coalition of Colonies, where the name that brands them as a criminal can be left behind or ignored.  
The delegation from the distant Nralakk Federation has arrived, entering the Uueoa-Esa system early this morning before landing on Ouerea properly. Led by Ormish Jrolk, their ‘Grand Advisor of Economic Development’ - a role similar to a Master of Rivers - the delegation was promptly shown to a hotel in New Skalamar’s Founding District, where the talks are set to take place.


Outside of Hephaestus, some Unathi merchants who find the Hegemony's mercantilist economy too limiting seek citizenship in the Coalition, due to its lax requirements. While this was largely limited to non-Guild members, the bankruptcy of the Merchants' Guild in 2465 has led many of their former members to take what vessels they could and flee the Hegemony, hoping to find greater profits in human space. While some of these merchants have set course for the Republic of Biesel or the Empire of Dominia, a large number of them have chosen instead to seek their fortune in Coalition space.
High Speaker Sarnac was present to welcome the delegation, along with her entourage. To the clamoring of spectators Unathi, Skrell and human alike, they entered the hotel, where the talks have begun in earnest. Though it is very early in the process, our correspondent on the scene was able to glean some insight as to the agendas from both sides.  


==Unathi in the Empire of Dominia==
It appears that the Hegemon, via the High Speaker, has demanded reparations from Nralakk for the occupation of Ouerea, claiming that they had no right to meddle in that world’s affairs and that it was shameful that his father was forced to resort to drastic measures to reclaim what is rightfully an Izweski colony. The Skrell have not taken this well, with their delegation claiming that the Federation was the only reason Ouerea survived the Contact War at all, and that Hegemon S’kresti’s actions were an act of rash bravado, where he could have instead negotiated with the Federation to ensure a peaceful transfer of power. The Skrell delegation also mentioned a shuttle of their diplomats destroyed by Traditionalists during the Contact War, claiming that as the ruler of all Moghes, Hegemon Not’zar bears an obligation to make amends.


The [[Empire of Dominia]] has a small, but influential Unathi population, formed primarily from members of the clans Kazhkz and Han'san having fled Moghes following a failed assault on Skalamar. After several years of piracy, these two clans made contact with the young Empire in 2440, and while some on [[Moroz]] feared that their fleet would be the first true test of the Imperial Navy, the pirates chose a different path - pledging their service to the Emperor, and being granted positions of nobility. The two clans reorganized, becoming the [[Empire_of_Dominia_Great_Houses#House_Kazhkz|Great House Kazhkz-Han'san]]. Occupying an odd space, noble yet distrusted, favored of the Emperor yet often despised by the other Houses, the Unathi of Dominia have managed to thrive nonetheless in this alien civilisation. More information on Unathi in the Empire can be found [[Empire_of_Dominia_Great_Houses#House_Kazhkz|here]].
So far, neither side seems to be bending on their demands - though the diplomatic process can be a lengthy one, and negotiations have only just begun. Rumors abound on the streets of Ouerea, however, with many claiming that Guildmaster T’zakal of Hephaestus Industries may be invited to the talks. As yet, Hephaestus Industries has not made any statement on the matter, and these rumors may have little merit to them.


==Unathi in the Serene Republic of Elyra==
As always, we at Sinta Articles will keep our readers updated on these talks as they progress, and we express our deepest hope for a mutually beneficial resolution.


There are not many Unathi in the [[Elyra|Serene Republic of Elyra]], and no citizens. The privateers of House Kazhkz have often raided the edge of Elyran space, and other pirate fleets in the Badlands and Sparring Sea have often clashed with the Elyran Navy, creating a distrust of Unathi among many of those who fought against such pirates during their mandatory military service. The one exception to this, however, is [[New Suez]], where a small Unathi population has emerged, largely as workers for the Hephaestus Industries presence on the moon. Though they tend to keep to their own communities, with the largest of these taking up nearly an entire district of New Hormuz, where the vast majority of Unathi in Elyran space can be found.
</div></div>


Though the life of a Non-Citizen Person in Elyra can be difficult, and most Unathi on New Suez do not stay long, instead working there for a few years at most, some of them have managed to build a more permanent life there. Though they will likely never be consider citizens of the Republic, their presence has helped the general image of their species - at least among the citizens of New Suez, who have been given a chance to see a different side to the Unathi than that of the pirates that have plagued the Serene Republic in the past.

==Unathi Outside Human Space==
'''Publisher: Sinta Articles'''


Unathi settlements outside of their own or human space are rare bordering on nonexistent - largely for practical reasons. The [[Epsilon Ursae Minoris|Co-Operative Territories of Epsilon Ursae Minoris]] are on the other side of the Spur, and while the Nralakk Federation is closer, it still lies on the far side of the Sparring Sea - far further than most human states for those fleeing the Contact War. The isolationism of the Skrell also means that trade is limited, with not many Unathi merchants bothering to brave the dangers of the Sparring Sea to trade with the Federation. While the Tajaran homeworld of [[Adhomai]] is closer, its freezing climate and recent years of strife and warfare mean that not many Unathi would wish to set course there, even without whether or not the locals would accept their presence.
'''Writer: RustingWithYou'''


===Gakal'zaal===
'''Editors: Triogenix, Desven'''


There is one major exception to this rule, however - the colony of [[Gakal'zaal]], originally founded by Tajaran refugees in 2452. These refugees made a living on the planet for some time, suffering from pirate raids and extortions until 2457, when the Izweski Navy expelled the pirate presence. After a deal with a powerful Tajara family on Gakal'zaal, the Hegemony annexed the planet, appointing Makar Yizarus, cousin to the famed admiral, as the new Overlord of Gakal'zaal. Due to the ongoing Second Revolution on Adhomai, none of the Tajaran powers involved themselves in affairs, leading to five years of feudal rule as Unathi colonists arrived on the planet.
5/05/2466


In 2462, however, with the assistance of the Adhomai Liberation Army, the organization known as the Gakal'zaal Liberation Front rose up, fighting to depose Overlord Yizarus and place the planet back in the hands of the Tajaran people. Due to the ongoing civil war on Moghes, the Hegemon provided no help, leaving Overlord Yizarus to face the rebels himself. Due to Yizarus's corruption and mismanagement of the colony, Not'zar Izweski stripped the Overlord of his titles and abandoned Gakal'zaal, leaving Yizarus to the mercies of the Liberation Front. Now, the DPRA controls Gakal'zaal, with the remaining Unathi on the planet now living under Tajaran rule.

The talks continue, and new faces are seen at the table
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">


[[Category:Unathi]]
The diplomatic talks on Ouerea seem to be making swift progress - while we do not have any further information on how both parties’ agenda is shifting, word from the inside is that attitudes have begun to soften, and that both sides are moving closer to an agreement. What that agreement is, and what it will entail for the Hegemony at large, remains to be seen.
 
Hephaestus Industries has also announced that they will be attending the talks at the Hegemon’s request, with Guildmaster T’zakal issuing a statement that due to the guild’s strong ties to every part of the Hegemonic economy since their recent reorganization of the major Hegemonic guilds, the outcome of these talks is of deep importance to Hephaestus.
 
Guildmaster T’zakal arrived on Ouerea yesterday morning, and spent the day touring the recently-completed Aquacultural Center One - before arriving by shuttle in New Skalamar last night, and traveling straight to the site of the talks. What role Hephaestus may play in this negotiation is as of now unknown.
 
The K’lax Hive have also announced that they will be in attendance at the talks. As one of the largest and most influential vassals of the Hegemon, the Vaurcae of Tret are instrumentally positioned within our nation’s economy, with one of the Hive’s representatives stating that ''“Since our arrival, the K’lax and the Sinta’Unathi have held a shared destiny - and if the Nralakk Federation is to be involved in that destiny, we will be included in the discussions.”''
 
The K’lax delegation at the talks is reportedly being directed by the Queen Vedhra, with representatives of her brood having arrived on Ouerea this afternoon. Sinta Articles reporters attempted to get in contact with the K’laxian delegation in order to elaborate on why the High Queen elected not to send a representative from her own brood, but were unable to clarify. Our correspondents contacted Lady Ta’Akaix’Maz'roth'isek K’lax, the leader of the K’laxian delegation, who stated ''“The High Queen trusts in her servants’ ability in a matter that will affect the Hive in its entirety. Though I serve the Queen Vedhra, my role at this summit is to stand for all the K’lax.”''
 
With the talks soon to enter their second week, we eagerly await further information. As always, we will keep our readers updated as the situation develops.

''“The truth you speak doth lack some gentleness''<br>
''And time to speak it in.”''<br>
-The Tempest, Act II Scene I
 
The Ouerean summit gains attention from across the stars - and not all are happy to see Hephaestus take such a role.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
 
Senator Le Hanh Trang has issued a public statement with regards to recent talks between the Nralakk Federation and the Unathi-ruled Izweski Hegemony, condemning the invitation of Hephaestus Industries. In a live statement from Unity Station today, the senator stated that ''“It is a dark day for the Spur when a megacorporation sits at a table with two nations, and negotiates as an equal. We in the Alliance know too well the damage that these corporations can cause - the actions of NanoTrasen have been devastating to the Alliance and its people, and Hephaestus themselves have exploited my homeworld and its people for generations. While this is not unexpected of the Unathi - a species new to the interstellar stage, who do not understand the danger that unchecked corporate power poses - I would expect more wisdom from our long-time allies in the Nralakk Federation than to allow such a predatory force to influence their affairs. I hope that both sides of these Ouerean negotiations realize the foolishness of their actions, and reconsider inviting Hephaestus to their discussion.”''
 
Senator Trang has often made such statements against the megacorporations of the Spur, having been a leading figure in the implementation of the Solarian Corporate Authority and the nationalization of corporate assets across the Alliance. SANN reporters reached out to the Nralakk Federation consulate on Unity Station, and received an official response informing us: ''“The Nralakk Federation is well aware of all risks involved in these negotiations, but we do not make our decisions based on fear. Rest assured that our representatives shall act with the wisdom that we pride ourselves on, and that we extend our hopes that ill-founded fear is not allowed to jeopardize the friendship between our two great nations.”''
 
SANN has also reached out to staff at the Alliance embassy on Moghes for comment, but we have only received a fax informing us that the Alliance has yet to take an official stance on the matter. Time will tell whether or not Senator Trang’s words will reach our allies in the Federation, however - or whether Hephaestus will keep its seat at the negotiating table.

Old grudges are settled, and new accords are struck.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
 
The High Speaker has announced that the talks with the Nralakk Federation, which have been ongoing for nearly a month, have reached an end, with both parties finally reaching an agreement. She was photographed with the Skrell representative, Ormish Jrolk, proudly announcing the signing of the newly-named Nralakk-Izweski Mutual Prosperity Agreement.
 
The agreement is a lengthy one, but our correspondents have gathered the main points that are most likely to impact our readers, and what they may mean for the future of our own nation and our newfound friends in the Nralakk Federation. The agreement entails the following:
 
* The Nralakk Federation will formally acknowledge its unlawful occupation of Ouerea - while both parties recognise the difficulties the Contact War posed to colonial administration, the Federation will formally acknowledge that control should have been returned immediately following the end of the war on Moghes, and that Hegemon S’kresti should not have had to resort to military action to see our colony returned to us. The Federation has declined to comment on the Sol Alliance’s role in the Ouerean affair, stating that it lies outside the purview of the summit.
* As a form of reparation for their interference in Sinta affairs, the Federation will offer the assistance of its scientists in combating the spreading of the Wasteland, as well as assisting in medical treatment of those harmed by radiation.
* The Hegemon has made a formal trade agreement with the Federation, and is set to begin exporting raw materials to Skrell space soon via Hephaestus Industries. Guildmaster T’zakal has strongly endorsed this announcement, welcoming the opportunity to expand further into alien markets.
* The Hegemony will permit the ships of the Federation’s ‘Qukala’ (their primary military force) to dock at any Izweski colony, station or port. This will allow our new trade partners to assist the Izweski Navy in ensuring that cargo vessels are capable of safely traveling through the Badlands and Sparring Sea without threat of piracy.
While some still remain skeptical of the Nralakk-Izweski Mutual Prosperity Agreement, the mood across the Hegemony overall is one of celebration, as the Federation’s commitment to the restoration efforts on Moghes has been declared.
 
An initial group of Federation scientists and healers is set to arrive within the month, to begin working to both treat radiation-related disorders among the population and to work with the brightest minds of the Hegemony in accelerating environmental restoration efforts on Moghes. High Speaker Sarnac made a public address from Skalamar, having seen the Skrell delegation safely depart from the system, bound to return to Federation space. From the Izweski keep, the High Speaker addressed the assembled press, stating:
 
''“It has been a long and arduous negotiation - but both the Hegemon and myself are pleased at this outcome. The rabble-rousing of some who believe the Skrell hold some sort of nefarious agenda can be safely dismissed - and on behalf of myself and Hegemon Not’zar, I wish to welcome the aid of our new allies in the Nralakk Federation in the restoration of our world. May the Great Spirit bless this new agreement, and the wisdom of our Hegemon in seeking such a powerful ally.”''
 
The Nralakk Federation has also made plans for the reopening of the embassy in Skalamar, having made an agreement with Hephaestus Industries to begin construction on new premises immediately. Though an ambassador has yet to be appointed, Grand Advisor Jrolk did make a brief statement to Sinta Articles earlier today, stating on behalf of the Nralakk Federation their satisfaction with the agreement reached - and that they look forward to the age of future cooperation between our two nations that this agreement heralds.
 
We at Sinta Articles strongly congratulate the Hegemon for this alliance, as well as the offer of assistance from our new friends in the Federation. As always, we will keep our readers updated as the situation develops further.

Hegemon Announces Talks With Skrell!

"Awake, dear heart, awake."
-The Tempest, Act I Scene II

Hegemon Not'zar reaches out to the Nralakk Federation, hoping that recent upheavals will allow old grudges to be laid to rest.

In a surprising announcement from Skalamar today, Hegemon Not’zar Izweski announced that he intends to hold a diplomatic summit with the Nralakk Federation, which will be led by High Speaker Seleta Sarnac. The office of the High Speaker followed up on this, stating that Hegemon Not’zar understands that there is a long and often-troubled history between Sinta and Skrell, and he hopes that the two nations can enter into a more prosperous relationship in future.

The talks are set to take place on Ouerea, in several weeks’ time. Many have speculated as to the Hegemon’s choice to invite the Skrell delegation to Ouerea rather than Moghes - while some believe it is simply due to the planet’s large Skrell population, others believe that the Hegemon intends to call the Skrell to account for the planet’s occupation during the Contact War.

The Skrell delegation’s agenda, as well as who their representative will be, remains to be seen. The office of the High Speaker confirmed to us this morning, however, that the Nralakk Federation has accepted the Hegemon’s invitation. Their envoys will likely be en route to Uueoa-Esa already, and many wait apprehensively to see what the Federation hopes to get from these talks.

Some among the nobility have been outspoken against the Hegemon’s decision, however - with many protesting the inviting of Skrell to Izweski space, blaming them for everything from the Ouerean Rebellion to the Contact War itself. Perhaps the most outspoken of these was Lord Juyzi Izaku of Mudki, who invited representatives of Sinta Articles to a press conference in the city to issue his statement.

Lord Izaku was certainly passionate on the matter, claiming that "The Skrell, they get inside a man’s thoughts, to twist his mind and strip his honor! You see them, small and weak as they are, and you think they are harmless, but they can manipulate your very spirit - look at the slaughter on Ouerea, barely more than five years ago! It was driven by them, twisting innocent Sinta to anarchy and murder, and now the Hegemon wishes to treat with them? He must be careful, lest he find himself dancing on their vile and twisted strings.”

While the Lord of Mudki is certainly the most outspoken, he is not the only one of the nobility to object to these talks. Several among the nobility have petitioned the Hegemon to turn away from this plan, citing the occupation of Ouerea and subsequent rebellion as proof that the Skrell cannot be trusted to negotiate in good faith.

We at Sinta Articles hope for a resolution that is beneficial to the Hegemony and its people. As always, we shall keep our readers updated on these talks as they develop.

Ormish Jrolk Departs For Alien Stars

“Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows.”
-The Tempest, Act II Scene II

The Federation's representative departs for Ouerea.

Grand Advisor of Economic Development Ormish Jrolk has announced their temporary departure from Federation space today - leading a delegation to the planet Ouerea, a warm and hospitable world currently under the rule of the Izweski Hegemony. The ruler of the Hegemony, Hegemon Not’zar Izweski, extended formal invitations to the Nralakk Federation to send a delegation to Ouerea, in the hopes of laying to rest past hostilities between Unathi and Skrell.

The Unathi, for those of our readers who are not aware, rapidly descended into global nuclear warfare following first contact with the Federation and the Solarian Alliance - during which a delegation of Federation diplomats was sent in the hopes of brokering peace between the two warring sides, and preventing needless loss of life. These delegates were murdered, their shuttle shot down by the group known as the ‘Traditionalist Coalition’ (Unrelated to the Homeworld Traditionalist Coalition party), a radical collection of Unathi micro-states opposed to further dealings with the Federation and humanity.

Since that day, the Federation has had little contact with the Unathi - though for several decades, Federation officials administrated the colony on Ouerea, due to the Hegemon’s inability to do so during wartime. Following the end of what the Unathi have come to call the ‘Contact War’, the Federation graciously returned control of Ouerea to the Unathi, though a substantial Skrell population remains on the planet.

Reportedly, the delegation was approved with an overwhelming majority by the Grand Council, with only the Homeworld Traditionalist Coalition voting against. Coalition leader Overseer Nalo Gir-Roq referred to the delegation as “a mistake” during an address to the Council, claiming that for the Federation to involve ourselves further in the affairs of the Spur at large only serves to weaken our position on the interstellar stage. The Coalition was thoroughly outvoted, however, with all other parties standing in favor of the Ouerean talks. Grand Advisor Jrolk and the Federalist League cited the dangers of pirate and Marauder activity on the Federation’s southern border, claiming that forming stronger ties to the nations of the Sparring Sea is a proactive measure to ensure our national security against such threats in future - while voices from the Free Skrell Union cited establishing further connections to Hephaestus Industries as a key reason for building diplomatic ties to the Hegemony.

The talks are scheduled to begin in several weeks' time. Questions of whether these talks will lead to future involvement in Unathi affairs, or further connection with alien nations, remain unanswered for now - though the Federation watches eagerly to see what will come of the Ouerean summit.

Nralakk Delegation Arrives, Talks Begin

“Yet, with my nobler reason 'gainst my fury
Do I take part; the rarer action is
In virtue than in vengeance.”
-The Tempest, Act V Scene I

The talks on Ouerea begin, and speculation abounds on what each side hopes to gain.

The delegation from the distant Nralakk Federation has arrived, entering the Uueoa-Esa system early this morning before landing on Ouerea properly. Led by Ormish Jrolk, their ‘Grand Advisor of Economic Development’ - a role similar to a Master of Rivers - the delegation was promptly shown to a hotel in New Skalamar’s Founding District, where the talks are set to take place.

High Speaker Sarnac was present to welcome the delegation, along with her entourage. To the clamoring of spectators Unathi, Skrell and human alike, they entered the hotel, where the talks have begun in earnest. Though it is very early in the process, our correspondent on the scene was able to glean some insight as to the agendas from both sides.

It appears that the Hegemon, via the High Speaker, has demanded reparations from Nralakk for the occupation of Ouerea, claiming that they had no right to meddle in that world’s affairs and that it was shameful that his father was forced to resort to drastic measures to reclaim what is rightfully an Izweski colony. The Skrell have not taken this well, with their delegation claiming that the Federation was the only reason Ouerea survived the Contact War at all, and that Hegemon S’kresti’s actions were an act of rash bravado, where he could have instead negotiated with the Federation to ensure a peaceful transfer of power. The Skrell delegation also mentioned a shuttle of their diplomats destroyed by Traditionalists during the Contact War, claiming that as the ruler of all Moghes, Hegemon Not’zar bears an obligation to make amends.

So far, neither side seems to be bending on their demands - though the diplomatic process can be a lengthy one, and negotiations have only just begun. Rumors abound on the streets of Ouerea, however, with many claiming that Guildmaster T’zakal of Hephaestus Industries may be invited to the talks. As yet, Hephaestus Industries has not made any statement on the matter, and these rumors may have little merit to them.

As always, we at Sinta Articles will keep our readers updated on these talks as they progress, and we express our deepest hope for a mutually beneficial resolution.

Talks Continue On Ouerea; Hephaestus, K’lax Invited

“The hour's now come;
The very minute bids thee ope thine ear.”
-The Tempest, Act I Scene II

The talks continue, and new faces are seen at the table

The diplomatic talks on Ouerea seem to be making swift progress - while we do not have any further information on how both parties’ agenda is shifting, word from the inside is that attitudes have begun to soften, and that both sides are moving closer to an agreement. What that agreement is, and what it will entail for the Hegemony at large, remains to be seen.

Hephaestus Industries has also announced that they will be attending the talks at the Hegemon’s request, with Guildmaster T’zakal issuing a statement that due to the guild’s strong ties to every part of the Hegemonic economy since their recent reorganization of the major Hegemonic guilds, the outcome of these talks is of deep importance to Hephaestus.

Guildmaster T’zakal arrived on Ouerea yesterday morning, and spent the day touring the recently-completed Aquacultural Center One - before arriving by shuttle in New Skalamar last night, and traveling straight to the site of the talks. What role Hephaestus may play in this negotiation is as of now unknown.

The K’lax Hive have also announced that they will be in attendance at the talks. As one of the largest and most influential vassals of the Hegemon, the Vaurcae of Tret are instrumentally positioned within our nation’s economy, with one of the Hive’s representatives stating that “Since our arrival, the K’lax and the Sinta’Unathi have held a shared destiny - and if the Nralakk Federation is to be involved in that destiny, we will be included in the discussions.”

The K’lax delegation at the talks is reportedly being directed by the Queen Vedhra, with representatives of her brood having arrived on Ouerea this afternoon. Sinta Articles reporters attempted to get in contact with the K’laxian delegation in order to elaborate on why the High Queen elected not to send a representative from her own brood, but were unable to clarify. Our correspondents contacted Lady Ta’Akaix’Maz'roth'isek K’lax, the leader of the K’laxian delegation, who stated “The High Queen trusts in her servants’ ability in a matter that will affect the Hive in its entirety. Though I serve the Queen Vedhra, my role at this summit is to stand for all the K’lax.”

With the talks soon to enter their second week, we eagerly await further information. As always, we will keep our readers updated as the situation develops.

Senator Trang Condemns Hephaestus Role in Nralakk Summit

“The truth you speak doth lack some gentleness
And time to speak it in.”
-The Tempest, Act II Scene I

The Ouerean summit gains attention from across the stars - and not all are happy to see Hephaestus take such a role.

Senator Le Hanh Trang has issued a public statement with regards to recent talks between the Nralakk Federation and the Unathi-ruled Izweski Hegemony, condemning the invitation of Hephaestus Industries. In a live statement from Unity Station today, the senator stated that “It is a dark day for the Spur when a megacorporation sits at a table with two nations, and negotiates as an equal. We in the Alliance know too well the damage that these corporations can cause - the actions of NanoTrasen have been devastating to the Alliance and its people, and Hephaestus themselves have exploited my homeworld and its people for generations. While this is not unexpected of the Unathi - a species new to the interstellar stage, who do not understand the danger that unchecked corporate power poses - I would expect more wisdom from our long-time allies in the Nralakk Federation than to allow such a predatory force to influence their affairs. I hope that both sides of these Ouerean negotiations realize the foolishness of their actions, and reconsider inviting Hephaestus to their discussion.”

Senator Trang has often made such statements against the megacorporations of the Spur, having been a leading figure in the implementation of the Solarian Corporate Authority and the nationalization of corporate assets across the Alliance. SANN reporters reached out to the Nralakk Federation consulate on Unity Station, and received an official response informing us: “The Nralakk Federation is well aware of all risks involved in these negotiations, but we do not make our decisions based on fear. Rest assured that our representatives shall act with the wisdom that we pride ourselves on, and that we extend our hopes that ill-founded fear is not allowed to jeopardize the friendship between our two great nations.”

SANN has also reached out to staff at the Alliance embassy on Moghes for comment, but we have only received a fax informing us that the Alliance has yet to take an official stance on the matter. Time will tell whether or not Senator Trang’s words will reach our allies in the Federation, however - or whether Hephaestus will keep its seat at the negotiating table.
