The Union of Gla'orr seeks to stake a claim in the space race of Hieroaetheria. Below is a summary of the arc's applicable news articles, and additions. Grand Assembly Tables Discussion on Union Expansion News Article Publisher : Biesellian Song Express Writer : DIONAE TEAM Hieroaethera. Home to billions of Dionae. The first of its kind, but surely not the last. The Grand Assembly of the Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria has announced that delegates from the Union of Gla’orr have pushed for an urgent meeting concerning the beginning of their off-world ventures. Set to be discussed in the upcoming days, before finally being voted upon at the end of the week, it primarily concerns the Union of Gla’orr carving a piece of the interstellar pie for themselves – Bellstep IVa. Though a name has not yet been decided upon for the potential colony, the Union is adamant that the Grand Assembly will see to reason and agree on their proposal. Bellstep IVa orbits Bellstep – a gas giant that is rich in both hydrogen and helium-3; with the hopes that it will allow for self-sufficiency for the Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria, in which they can ensure the member-states need not rely on external actors to ensure independence both within Titan's Rapture and its greater territory. The Union of Gla’orr has expressed no desire in their proposal that indicates any wishes to terraform the moon, instead using its barren status to solely increase the industrial output of the Union. Date: [05/14/2466] Colonisation is Greenlit by the Assembly News Article Publisher : Biesellian Song Express Writer : DIONAE TEAM Titan's Rapture is the largest system in the entirety of the Orion Spur, hosting eight different stars, each within a delicate dance with one another. The Grand Assembly of the Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria is pleased to announce after several days of discussion, the approval of the Union of Gla’orr’s proposal regarding the colonisation of Bellstep IVa – with the latter confirming the intended name being “Wrath’s Anvil” as opposed to its existing name. An extract of the final touches to the proposal can be found below: In the middle of the rather awe-inspiring room is a large, round table made of marble. Around it sit the figureheads for the member-states of the Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria – there are five of them, with only the Eternal Republic of the Ekane hosting more than one due to the political nature of the faction. They are locked in fervent discussions, entirely in Rootsong. It has been translated for non-Dionae to be able to comprehend. Chairman Embodiment of Tranquil Stewardship: It is to our understanding, that you’re attempting to essentially restrict the access of these resources to only nations present on Hieroaetheria? Paragon Carver of Order for a Unified Future: That is correct. We will exploit the bountiful resources available on Wrath’s Anvil – such resources will not be used by extraterrestrial troupers masquerading as Hieroaetheria’s supposed benefactors. If the Grand Assembly comes to such an agreement, we will enforce this measure strictly, even if it means cutting off diplomacy with the Consortium. Paragon Carver of Order for a Unified Future: Is that clear to all parties? The Dionae around the table all nod in agreement, despite several advisors to the Chairman of the Consortium attempting to speak to them. They are quickly ushered away by the Chairman, shaking their head as they return their focus to the Grand Assembly’s discussions. Ecclesiarch Sanctified Seeker of Holy Communion: The Eternal has blessed us with such divine assistance throughout Titan's Rapture. It would be a disservice to its choice of Dionae as its harbingers to allow such resources to be exploited for the whims of the faithless. We agree with the Union of Gla’orr, it must only be used to the advantage of the Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria, not for the abhorrent heretics. The Chairman of the Consortium waits a moment, watching as the rest of the Assembly votes on the proposal. After a few brief moments of silence, they make their own vote – before announcing to the greater Assembly. Chairman Embodiment of Tranquil Stewardship: We see the necessity for such limitations placed by the Union of Gla’orr, and despite our own alignment being against such limitations, the Consortium does not see it necessary to restrict other nations of Hieroaetheria from enjoying the fruit offered by off-world colonies – therefore, the Grand Assembly, for the first time in its history, has unanimously agreed on the proposal of colonisation of Wrath’s Anvil – may it be the answer to the problems. This vote has now been concluded. The Union of Gla’orr has announced it shall begin preparations for the colonisation of Wrath’s Anvil, and is expected to host delegates with the Commonwealth Naval Authority and the Consortium to ensure the efficiency of its colonisation. Paragon Carver of Order for a Unified Future has announced that the final details shall be unveiled towards the end of the month. For now, many within the Union of Gla’orr rejoice, as well as others within the greater Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria and soon it shall be revolutionised – the Consortium no longer being the sole interstellar actor from Hieroaetheria. [Date: 05/21/2466] Commonwealth Naval Authority Instructed; Consortium leases Space Station to Union News Article Publisher : Biesellian Song Express Writer : DIONAE TEAM The Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria is a yet unknown force within interstellar politics. It has not yet made any open alignment to any one idea, and the fractioning of politics across Hieroaetheria makes it difficult to predict any of its choices. The Union of Gla’orr, after consulting with the Grand Assembly of the Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria, has confirmed that the Commonwealth Naval Authority shall assist in gathering additional information concerning Wrath’s Anvil – furthermore, they shall be performing various tasks to assist in best determining the first Unitary outpost on the moon. Vice-Admiral Where Cataclysmic Energy Transverses into Celestial Life has confirmed that it has dispatched several units to conduct analysis for the Union of Gla’orrs selected colony sites on the moon, and will soon have results. Delegates from both the Consortium and the Union have also been collaborating in the passing days, in which through an agreement for greater resources harvested by Wrath’s Anvil, they have leased the Collis Space Station to the Union of Gla’orr so they may begin constructing a colonisation vessel for the intended settlement of Wrath’s Anvil. The Eternal Republic of the Ekane has offered verbal support to the Union of Gla’orr, but so far as yet has not offered anything more substantial to assist in the colonisation effort. [Date: 05/22/2466] The Commonwealth Naval Authority Lands on Wrath’s Anvil News Article Publisher : Biesellian Song Express Writer : DIONAE TEAM Titan's Rapture. History yet to be told. It is an enigma across the entire Spur. Vice-Admiral Where Cataclysmic Energy Transverses into Celestial Life conferred with the Grand Assembly of the Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria, confirming that the surveying teams have undertaken enough information as requested by the Union of Gla’orr in potential colony sites. They have been classified as the following: Site Alto rests deep within the sprawling canyons of Wrath’s Anvil. Though it offers immediate and unfettered access to resources underground, it is notably more difficult to develop a robust docking site for transporting such minerals – it would be necessary for the construction of a split outpost – one atop the messa, and one clutching the walls of the crevice. The Commonwealth Naval Authority struggled significantly with both landing and eventually departing from Site Alpha, however, the minerals offered would add to the growing Hieroaetherian economy rather significantly. Site Baritone sits within the northern pole of Wrath’s Anvil – notable, the only location with an abundance of frozen water across the moon. However, it is considerably far from any easily accessible minerals that will propel the development of the colony, but also the Union’s place in the Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria. The presence of the frozen water would, however, be advantageous in commencing terraforming operations in the future, at least earlier than expected by the Union of Gla’orr. Site Contralto is expected to be the most “neutral” area. It is within a rather deep crater, which gives easy access to – though notably less than Site Alpha – minerals to enhance the industrial profile of the moon. Furthermore, it is considerably easier to both land and depart, and would be a good location for constructing advanced facilities for harvesting both Hydrogen and Helium-3 from Bellstep IV. The Union of Gla’orr is still seeking to decide on what location to select when commencing the colonisation of Wrath’s Anvil; with a decision hopefully being reached within the next few weeks. Dozens of Dionae across Hieroaetheria have begun to voice support for the colonisation project: the Union of Gla’orr shall seek to add to the Commonwealth by commencing its own space race. [Date: 05/28/2466] Colonisation Site has been Selected News Article Publisher : Biesellian Song Express Writer : DIONAE TEAM The incursions from the Solarian Restoration Front were alarming to many. It created an existential fear that had been left dormant since contact with the Skrell. The Union of Gla’orr has announced, with the assistance of the Commonwealth Naval Authority, the selected site for Wrath’s Anvil's first colony – Cyclops Reach. Site Alto has been selected. Site Alto rests deep within the sprawling canyons of Wrath’s Anvil. Though it offers immediate and unfettered access to resources underground, it is notably more difficult to develop a robust docking site for transporting such minerals – it would be necessary for the construction of a split outpost – one atop the messa, and one clutching the walls of the crevice. The Commonwealth Naval Authority struggled significantly with both landing and eventually departing from Site Alpha, however, the minerals offered would add to the growing Hieroaetherian economy rather significantly. The construction of the colonisation vessel has gone swimmingly, according to the Union of Gla’orr. Using expertise from the Consortium, and additional assistance from the Commonwealth Naval Authority, it is expected that initial pioneers will be able to touchdown on the planet in the very near future – constructed purely and solely for the Union of Gla’orr. Date: [06/01/2466] Construction of the Fleeting Whirlwinds Completed News Article Publisher : Biesellian Song Express Writer : DIONAE TEAM It is not for Hieroaetheria to dictate the Commonwealth’s desires, but the desires of the Commonwealth that dictate Hieroaetheria. Paragon Carver of Order for a United Future, alongside the Exarchs, has announced that the Fleeting Whirlwinds has been completed – the colonisation vessel that shall venture forth from the orbit of Hieroaetheria and allow for the colonisation of Wrath’s Anvil. Though smaller than those boasted by the Consortium, it has been considered sufficient enough to commence the colony – with similar type vessels expected to be completed in the future to increase the population. In contrast to the other vessels used by the Commonwealth Naval Authority, the Fleeting Whirlwinds is its own modified “Bulker” and can carry up to ten thousand Nymphs – or as per the colonisation schedule for Wrath’s Anvil – 1500 Cyclops’. Dionae have been handpicked by the Union of Gla’orr to partake in the colonisation, those closest to spreading Nymph Pods considered priority to assist in developing the colony further. The Commonwealth Naval Authority has agreed, for the time being, to help ferry necessary supplies between Hieroaetheria and Wrath’s Anvil until the Union of Gla’orr has developed a sufficient supply route between itself and its colony. It is unsure how long this may be sustained, but the Grand Assembly has agreed to do so for the sake of ensuring efficient colonisation of the moon. [Date: 06/13/2466] Cyclops’ Reach Established News Article Publisher : Biesellian Song Express Writer : DIONAE TEAM For too long the Consortium has been the one taking the fruits from its colonies, now, Hieroaetheria has two interstellar actors, and the tensions grow higher. Wrath’s Anvil has formally been recognised as a member state of the Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria, but specifically, a successful enterprise undertaken by the Union of Gla’orr in expanding its own influence. As per the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria, the colony has been given semi-autonomy with a political structure very similar to the Union’s own. Wrath’s Anvil shall operate beneath a Paladin, in service to the colonial mandate set by the Union of Gla’orr, who has yet to be appointed. Allegedly, discussions are being undertaken by the Paragon and their Exarchs in such an appointment – with details soon to follow as to which Dionae may possibly become a new political influence in the wider Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria. [Date: 06/27/2466] Paladin Appointments Announced News Article Publisher : Biesellian Song Express Writer : DIONAE TEAM The Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria operates for the common good of the entirety of Titan's Rapture and its colonies. No one is left out. The Unitary of Communications, Information and Technology has officially been given the appointment as overseeing the colonial affairs of the Union of Gla’orr, in which they have gathered a list of possible Paladins in which the Paragon and Exarchs are debating whom to appoint. Provided by the Unitary, they are as follows: Watcher of the Birth of a New Order Having been in the Sentry Guards for well over a century, Watcher of the Birth of a New Order was not yet unified when the Union of Gla’orr was created, having only been disgorged days prior. They never knew the threats against Dionae in the time before its independence, and have only ever enjoyed the luxuries brought by the nation’s own choices. Operating as a Tyrannical Tune mindtype, they have advocated for a strictly regulated Wrath’s Anvil – claiming it shall not only comply with its colonial mandate but ensure that those on the moon are loyal to the Union of Gla’orr. Forlorn by the Loss of Unity Having not only survived for a century prior to the establishment of the Union of Gla’orr but also the transition to what it is currently. Though not overtly politically involved within the Union of Gla’orr, they have been necessary to diplomatic relations between itself and the Consortium – working alongside the Unitary of Economy and Infrastructure to not only create but develop healthy economic relationships with the other member-states of the Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria. They, unfortunately, suffered significant loss during a visit to the Covenant of Xrim, having been attacked by the Solarian Restoration Front – losing three nymphs, each considered an “irreplaceable part” of themselves. They are among the contentious possible appointees, claiming that although Wrath’s Anvil shall be part of the Union of Gla’orr, it must also develop itself to be semi-independent. Divided by the Great Existential Thoughts of the Ancestors Considered the youngest of all the possible appointees, they have only ever known the freedom given by the Union of Gla’orr in ensuring their way of life shall continue unimpeded. They have been liaisons with the Grand Assembly for the majority of the Union’s existence as a member-state. They have been fierce in protecting the ideals of the Union to the rest of the Commonwealth, but also notable conceding where necessary to the other representatives for the benefit of the entirety of the Commonwealth. They have maintained if selected, they shall ensure the foundation of the Union of Gla’orr is brought across to Wrath’s Anvil, but ultimately it must grow in its own direction as the Union once did with the Consortium. [Date: 06/29/2466] Wrath’s Anvil Begins its Journey News Article Publisher : Biesellian Song Express Writer : DIONAE TEAM Hieroaetheria. A home to all. Wrath’s Anvil has officially begun developing into a minor colonial outpost, with more Dionae set to join the colonisation effort as time goes on. With the appointment of Paladin Forlorn by the Loss of Unity. Wrath’s Anvil officially has recognition within the Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria as an established territory of the Union of Gla’orr. The Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria released a joint statement whereby they affirmed that the pre-agreed-upon terms of the colonisation of Wrath’s Anvil shall be maintained, and where amendments necessary shall be considered in due time. Currently, the Consortium and the Eternal Republic have begun to develop additional facilities within their territories to receive these materials that will surely assist in further developing the infrastructure of Hieroaetheria. The Commonwealth Naval Authority has already budgeted for providing assistance to the burgeoning colonial economy as they begin to develop mining facilities for the Helium and Hydrogen present within the moon’s parental gas giant – with many speculating this will surely increase the defensive capabilities of the Commonwealth as time goes on.
