January, 2012 - A Month In Retrospect
Dear readers,
tumultuous events have happened in the global community. Yes, you read that correctly! It seems that the founding of the so-called Trans-Newtonian Minerals has achieved a new race, or perhaps a new Great Game between the great power-blocs of the world. How come, might the astute reader ask. Let me inform you, then, of organizational changes that have happened - a creation of a true Space Arm for almost all the armed forces on the planet. What can this mean? Surely, only the renewal of the Cold War era Space Race, except pumped up to eleven, since this time there are many competitors, not just two. Many readers might remember that several countries aspired to the stars, creating their own space programs under the shadows of the American NASA and the Russian program - the European Space Agency, the Japanese Space Program, the Chinese taikonauts reached high orbit - even India and Malaysia were quite keen on this 'new' geopolitical game. But now the TN-minerals and the new avenues of research and science that they seem to be opening, will allow many others to reach for the heavens. Many will lament that it seems that space will be militarized, others will recognize this as a necessary fact - since from the times of Ancient Greece, that old military axiom: "He who holds the higher ground, wins" has been known. It would be foolish to expect that this fragmented race of ours, could somehow reach new highs with purely pacifistic measures. No, dear readers, I can assure you that space will be militarized but by whom and to what extent, remains to be seen. Much is resting on the shoulders of the officers listed below.
Below is a chart naming the currently appointed leaders of each state's space 'navy'. It is remarkable how young most of them are. This surely speaks volumes of the need for new, fresh approaches to space exploration, understood in all nations.

The British Commonwealth has created a Geology team to prospect for further Trans-Newtonian minerals. Led by Captain Emma Ferguson, the team will soon fly all over the Commonwealth, performing experimental drilling operations, in the hope of finding new veins of TN minerals. The Commonwealth Press Office had the following to say:
Some experts have voiced concerns that since TN-minerals are only found very deep in the Earth's core, the results of this team could affect all nations, instead of just the Commonwealth. GNN will keep you updated.

Diplomatic News - January 3rd, 2012
According to anonymous sources, the East Asian Federation (EAF), has dispatched a diplomatic envoy to the isolated pariah-state of North-Korea. Curiously, all members of the diplomatic team were wearing military uniforms. EAF has not publicly acknowledged this move. North-Korea has traditionally seen as an ally of China - perhaps EAF hopes to change this situation?
Similarly, Indian diplomatic mission, led by veteran diplomat Ambika Gaekwad, was seen landing in Sri Lanka. After the violent suppression of the Tamil insurgency, Sri Lanka has started to move forward to the global stage, though still ravaged by extreme poverty. Is India trying to keep her little neighbour under the Big Brother's watchful eye?

India's Geology team already hitting gold! Team leader Dakshina Sadathia just announced that additional veins of Sorium has been found, 100 000 tons of it to be exact. Just like all the other TN-veins, however, the additional Sorium is situated deep in Earth's core, available to all with the proper mining equipment and refining facilities.

SM-note: since there is no way to hide what Geology teams find on a shared body, I decided to publish the finding here like this. In the future, geological survey data will be only issued to those with an actual presence on a body being surveyed.

The Process Towards African Unity Through Robert Mugabe Reborn: A Journey to Mother Africa - A recorded address paid for by the African Union
"Dear friends of Africa. I am a tired man. We are all tired. We are tired of tyranny masked as a friend. We are tired of the West's disregard for the rest of the world. We are tired... but we will awaken with the drug of Triumph!"
*Loud cheering, exuberant screams are heard*
"For far too long the White Devil and his lackeys have forgotten that they came from Mother Africa, that they came back to steal from their own mother with their so called colonies"
*Loud boos are heard at the true words of Robert Mugabe Reborn*
"They pay us to keep us quiet, all the while turning African Brother on fellow African Brother through their stranglehold on the media. This cannot be! It shall not be!"
*Cheers of joy, women weep with hope and undying love for this dream of a reborn Africa*
"But what can the poorest of poor hope to achieve? It is hopeless"
*Gasps*
"Just playin! Africa is going to space. Yes, it is true, we too can play this game of space, we too have the capabilities to be in space. As I speak, the African Union is researching advanced technologies that the rest of the world will envy and only dream of having. We must be vigilant though! Our enemies will surely try to steal what is ours, as they have always done in the past.
That is why I am asking you all to believe. Believe with me in this dream of dreams. Africa is Haile Selassie
Shaka Zulu
With African science we will reach the stars and beyond
We will bring our rich culture to the rocks of space and bring soul to the cold wastes of all them planets up there."
*Out of control cheers*
"BELIEVE!"
*end of recording*
Addendum-
The AU wishes to extend greetings to its fellow nations and unions which share AU's never ending love for equality and tolerance, particularly Brazil which mirrors its beliefs. It also heartily welcomes any economic aid to be used as AU sees fit.

The Imperial Herald
Official Voice of Japan, Greater East Asia and the East Asian Federation
The Russian Federation returns Kuril Islands to Japan!
Negotiations between East Asian Federation (EAF) representatives and leaders of the Russian Federation (RF) were recently concluded in a surprising display of goodwill. The long and bitter argument concerning the control of the disputed Kuril Islands was at last brought to an end, as Russian leaders graciously acknowledge Japan's rightful claims and transferred the islands in question to Japanese jurisdiction. Japanese leaders, in turn, symbolically relinquished all claims to Sakhalin, and both the EAF and the RF recognised the sovereign rights of their respective member states.
With all former obstacles preventing diplomatic interaction removed, the EAF and RF further improved their good relations by signing a treaty of covert and overt non-aggression. His Imperial Majesty the Emperor, Heavenly Sovereign of our Federation, has been reported to have been "most pleased" by these historical events. Today, he bestowed a great honour upon the Russian diplomats in Tokyo, inviting them to a banquet at the Imperial Palace next Wednesday.
Further Successful Diplomacy strengthens Presidential Support
The popularity of our recently elected Federal President Sae Umeki continues to rise, as diplomatic negotiations with both the European Union and the South-East Asian Alliance have resulted in two additional non-aggression treaties. Peace and prosperity are rapidly becoming clear hallmarks of our current government.
Reactionary opposition leader Kimiyama is far from pleased, however, and in a press conference held earlier today he expressed great concern regarding Umeki's "reckless" and "overambitious" endaveours. In particular, he criticised her recent diplomatic missions to North Korea. Any kind of diplomatic ties with the socialist state, he said, would only serve to undermine the democratic and humanitarian values of the EAF.
President Umeki herself dismisses the criticism: "Greater East Asia would only benefit from peaceful and friendly relations with our misunderstood neighbour, whom may otherwise find itself forced into an untenable position. Further, the EAF owes it to all its Korean citizens, and to the rest of the world as a whole, to promote peaceful reconciliation and unification of the fractured nation."
The staff of the Imperial Herald can but fully agree, and readily applaud the efforts!

Long have the peoples of Europe fought each other, brother against brother. This infighting has left us weak and divided while the forces of international Bolshevism gather and plot against us.
Thankfully the time of infighting is past us, as with the formation of the new federal European state we now stand united. However that is not enough. For if we do not arm our selves and fight for our people the forces of Bolshevism will certainly be victorious. They seek to destroy our people and our way of life in the urge to create some sort of "universal brotherhood". We shall do our utmost to prevent this twisted and sinister plan from being successful.
Across our great nation the European workers and engineers strive tirelessly to further our cause and strive to complete our great goal. For our soldiers on the front line can not win the war alone. It is the duty of every man and woman to work towards our goal of constructing our first colony ship to secure the great reaches beyond our solar system for the European race, in order to ensure that future generations shall have sufficient lebensweltraum.
Though our foes may appear many do not despair, for know that we do not stand alone! Our honorable allies shall aid us in our mutual struggle, together we shall trample our foes beneath our legions.
Before long our glorious flag shall be raised on many an alien world! And the Bolshevists shall be left to wallow in the misery that they create on the old world. We shall not allow these godless heathens to befoul the great weltraum with their presence.
Strength through unity!

[chorus:]
Rise up and leave off resting
It is Islam, [it has] returned
In the path of Allah, we have walked
And announced Jihad
(x3)
We have returned with a machine gun
Possessing leadership today
And we have followed the awakening of this generation
Groups and individuals
(x2)
We have not known life
Except with vehemence and endurance
[chorus x2]
The gathering of believers has sprung
With the genuine youth
In the nights of affliction they have walked
Behind an elucidating Qur'an
(x2)
They did not care about (ar-razaya? translation pending)
Between the jaws of years
[chorus x2]
Give glad tidings to the people of a morning
Aglow with lucidities
And with which the conquest is manifest
In the depths of darkness
(x2)
And of one row united
In guidance, by the hands of the obedient
[chorus x2]
Oh, the [fateful] nights of the unjust
Oh, the humiliation of the jesters
Oh, the waste of years
The clear warning has arrived
(x2)
We have come to you with a machine gun (rata-tat-tat-tat-tat)
And an elucidating Qur'an
Rejoice, brothers and sisters in faith! For too long have we believers be cursed with division, and our hands bloodied with the abomination of fratricide. This division has persisted for so long that countless heresies against the Word have emerged, and the black cloud of jahiliyyah has once again crept over the dar al-Islam. But, now, in the year 1433, upon the revelation of a great secret of Allah's creation to the world, the great secret of the "Trans-Newtonian Elements", the Ummah have risen under the banner of the great new Khilafat, the pall of ignorance has been lifted, and now we go forth into the great vastness of this universe that Allah has made. Again we stand united by the message revealed to Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family).
We ask Allah to bless the Guardian Council, who will lead the Ummah until the appearance of our Khalifa, the hidden Twelfth Imam. We also ask Allah to bless Vizier Jamshid Tassoudji, who the Council has chosen to lead us into the heavens, and to bless Sadegh Khomeini, who the Council has appointed to administer the development of the Khilafat on Earth. Most of Allah, we ask Allah to bless all those who believe in his word, so the we may bring these words to all the cosmos:
There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger.

BEAM WEAPONRY AND YOU! AND OH OH SOME MISSILES TOO!
There are several different types of weapons in Aurora:
1) SPECIAL BEAM WEAPONS
Meson - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meson
2) OTHER BEAM WEAPONS
Laser - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed-energy_weapon#Lasers
Plasma Carronade - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_weapon
Particle Beam - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_beam
Rail guns - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railgun
Gauss cannon - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coilgun
Every beam weapon, except for the Gauss Cannon, require Capacitors and Power Plants. Capacitor level means how much power the weapon can absorb per every 5 second pulse. Power plants determine how much power the ship/PDC can produce every 5 second pulse. Power Plants can be stacked to generate more power but a weapon is stuck with a certain capacitor until a new weapon is designed. So it is important to notice that Capacitor Recharge Rate technology under Power/Propulsion is extremely important if you ever want to wield any other weapons besides missiles and gauss cannons.
3) MISSILES
Your military advisors will recommend that your future ships and planetary defence centres should be armed with various weapons. Naturally, you can overrule them and pick your favourites.
BEAM WEAPONRY AND YOU! AND OH OH SOME MISSILES TOO!
There are several different types of weapons in Aurora:
- Laser
- Meson
- Microwave
- Plasma Carronade
- Particle Beam
- Rail
- Gauss
- Missile
1) SPECIAL BEAM WEAPONS
Meson - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meson
- Ignores shields, armour, atmosphere and ground
- Starts with a range of 15,000 km
- Deals only 1 point of damage, regardless of range
- Requires capacitors and power plants
- Can be placed into a turret
- Uses 2 techs - Meson Focal Size and Meson Focusing
- Ignores armour, cannot penetrate atmosphere
- Starts with a range of 15,000 km
- Deals 3 points of damage on shields, 1 point of damage to electric equipment
- Requires capacitors and power plants
- Cannot be placed into a turret
- Uses 2 techs - Microwave Focal Size and Microwave Focusing
2) OTHER BEAM WEAPONS
Laser - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed-energy_weapon#Lasers
- Cannot penetrate atmosphere
- Starts with a range of 30,000 km
- Damage falls off with range
- Requires capacitors and power plants
- Can be placed into a turret
- Uses 2 techs - Laser Focal Size and Laser Type
Plasma Carronade - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_weapon
- Cannot penetrate atmosphere
- Starts with a range of 60,000 km
- Very high damage
- Requires capacitors and power plants
- Cannot be placed into a turret
- Uses only 1 tech - Calibre of the carronade
Particle Beam - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_beam
- Cannot penetrate atmosphere
- Starts with a range of 60,000 km
- Damage is fixed regardless of range
- Requires capacitors and power plants
- Cannot be placed into a turret
- Uses 2 techs - Particle Beam Strength and Particle Beam Range
Rail guns - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railgun
- Cannot penetrate atmosphere (illogical but true)
- Starts with a range of 10,000 km
- Shoots four projectiles at once which can hit different parts of enemy ship, damage is not affected by range
- Requires capacitors and power plants
- Cannot be placed into a turret
- Uses 2 techs - Calibre of the gun and Railgun Launch Velocity
Gauss cannon - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coilgun
- Cannot penetrate atmosphere
- Starts with a range of 10,000 km
- Shoots several shots every 5 seconds, though damage is fixed at 1
- Does NOT require capacitors or power plants
- Can be placed into a turret
- Uses 2 techs - GC Launch Velocity and GC Rate of Fire
Every beam weapon, except for the Gauss Cannon, require Capacitors and Power Plants. Capacitor level means how much power the weapon can absorb per every 5 second pulse. Power plants determine how much power the ship/PDC can produce every 5 second pulse. Power Plants can be stacked to generate more power but a weapon is stuck with a certain capacitor until a new weapon is designed. So it is important to notice that Capacitor Recharge Rate technology under Power/Propulsion is extremely important if you ever want to wield any other weapons besides missiles and gauss cannons.
3) MISSILES
- Missiles can vary from Size 1 to Size 100
- Missiles require a launcher that is at least as large as the missile itself, though it can be larger
- Missiles require several different technologies:
- Warhead
- Agility
- Engine
- Launcher Reload Rate
- Magazine Ejection System
- Magazine Feed System
- Missiles are capable of multiple mission types:
- Missile interception (Anti-Missile Missiles)
- Ship destruction (Anti-Ship Missiles)
- Planetary bombardment (Bombs or "Siege missiles")
- MIRV-capable for the two missions above
- Sensor platform (Active, Passive, Geological)
- Ultra-long range drones carrying any of the four above
- Missiles must be build using ordnance factories
- Missiles can be carried in launchers but for reloads, magazines are needed
- Launchers can be miniaturized with the cost of reload rate, up to Box-launchers that can only be reloaded in hangar, boat bay or with maintenance facilities
- Direct hit to a magazine can cause catastrophic secondary explosions
- Missiles can be fitted with homing heads
- Missiles can be armoured

PEACE FOR PEOPLE AMIDST DOMESTIC ARGUMENT
Last season is the most productive for diplomat corps of South East Asian Alliance, witness the number of non aggression pact signed by SEA with various neighbours and faraway powers.
However, this feat of diplomacy raise some protest in SEA congress as well as on popular media, on two points of concerns:
It's well and good to get a peaceful coexistence pact with the East-Asian Federation , aka Greater Asian Sphere. But the Philippines are in their control and their people havent indicated one way or another how they feel about it. This concerns her cousins in the archipelago, both for her sake, but also for future of the region. Governor Chuan Sai-ngam make a formal statement in Ho Chi Minh City "Peace is our dream, ephemeral though it is. Let us enjoy this while it lasts, my friends. The lotus will bloom in its season." This poem meet with some consternations, but it calm tensions.
Second point, of course, as always, is with our neighbor China to the North. Although China do sign a non agression pact with SEA, this does not reassure people. She is too big and powerful to make people sleep easy at night. Continuous call for rearmament programs are raised in congress public sessions as well as defense committee. Minister Sukhon Sinawatra refute this course of action "We believe in our partner's code of honor as much as our dream of peace. There's no reason to turn our face to war unnecessary. Let's not fear be our master." He reassure media that the government is vigilant and will respond correctly in emergencies.
Nevertheless, there's immense pressure in congress, so much so a defense project was push through and going into execution almost immediately. Bamboo Shield Program erect a system of plantary defensive complexes in Indochina peninsula and Burma ensure an umbrella of protection against hostile nuclear missile strikes aimed at SEA. Its estimated time of completion is 12 months, a veritable miracle of construction and logistic.

The Imperial Herald
Official Voice of Japan, Greater East Asia and the East Asian Federation
East Asian Federation develops Nuclear Weapons!
In response to growing tensions on the world stage, the East Asian Federation has acquired a powerful deterrent against war and mayhem: Intercontinental Ballistic Nuclear Missiles. Some misinformed souls have sadly mistaken this for evidence of Japan, South Korea and the Philippines being in violation of the International Non-Proliferation Treaty, but nothing could be further from the truth.
The Imperial Herald wishes to make it eminently clear that said countries have all signed the treaty and will continue to abide by it. Taiwan, however, has so far retained its right to develop nuclear weapons, and not, we might add, by its own choosing. In the past, it was the People's Republic of China that demanded Taiwan to be exempted from the NPT agreement, given its inflexible view on the sovereign rights of our brother country. As such, Taiwan has always had the lawful right to arm itself, and no one in their right mind could blame them for exercising it.
For many of our people, memories of the horrors of nuclear holocaust remain ever so present, and President Umeki stresses that Taiwan, as a member of Greater East Asia, will never initiate a nuclear conflict. However, those that might harbour thoughts of disrupting the peace and prosperity of the East Asian Federation should think again, for we will not hesitate to use our vast arsenal in the defence of our independence, integrity and inviolable rights.
