Monsieur le General Sheppard,

The Federated Ascendancy requests and explanation of who exactly you have declared war on. Failure to respond to this message will be interpreted as the Shepistani Republic including the Ascendancy in its declaration.

FROM: Shinra Republic Department of Foreign Affairs
TO: The Shepistani Republic

The Shinra Republic is aware of General Sheppard's recent declaration of war, and respectfully inquires of the Shepistani Republic regarding whom the declaration was against.

As the Shepistani Republic is no doubt aware, the Shinra Republic is home to a not insignificant Esper (or Psyker as they would be referred to by your government) population, who we consider to be full citizens of the Republic.

Therefore, given General Sheppard's indications that the recent war declaration was against "the psyker" and considering that no further clarification has yet to be issued, the Shinra Republic must then consider the unfortunate possibility that the recent war declaration announced by your leadership could include our nation.

The Shinra Republic naturally does not desire war against your great nation, and as such we must inquire as to the specifics of your leadership's recent announcement. If no such clarification is issued, then we must with the utmost regret consider that you have declared war upon the Shinra Republic.

Again, we do not wish for war against the Shepistani Republic, and so we respectfully request that clarification be received from your government at the soonest possible time.

From: Maxim Chernov, Second Technarch for Foreign Affairs
To: General Sheppard, Leader of the Shepistani Republic.

Now that the matter of your declaration of war has been resolved, we request that future Shepistani declarations of war contain a well-defined target, as is customary. The historical record of nations with a habit of declaring war against poorly defined enemies is not good, and contains few examples a competent leader would wish to imitate.

The Technocracy would argue that declaring war only against defined targets is in both the best interests of your nation and your own personal interests, as it will avoid pointless misunderstandings and unwanted gigadeaths.

To whom it may concern:

Your order for over 200 Blitz-class frigvettes is quite...surprising, given that we have virtually no knowledge of you, let alone diplomatic relations. Given this, we recommend you to send a diplomat of your choice to our country so we have someone to talk. If you want our ships that badly, you need to make a deal with us. We don't want to be hasty.

Thanks for noticing us! We're new on the block, and would like to be allies with the other empire near the Orks.
Maybe set up a galactic purge of the Ork worlds, maybe just have a base of operations or shared defenses in your territory and ours. We will send an ambassador.

Additionally, since we were looking to run some experiments on/take the DNA of a few hundred psychers/espers/magicians/ect..., and we have a fleet going to The Centrality to pick up some cargo, we would like to know:

Do you have any sentenced to death, imprisoned as enemies of the state, or held to a low regard that you would sell to us?

Please respond before our ambassadors and transports get to The Centrality, you know how expensive time is.

The Union cannot in good conscience encourage or aid in any inhumane experimentation on psykers or any other sapient creatures, nor do we keep our criminals caged up like animals (not for very long, anyway, since we rehabilitate them,) much less pawn them off to foreigners, friendly or otherwise.

However, a mutual defence agreement regarding the Orks is possible.

We would like to send our representatives to establish an embassy in your territory to better facilitate our future relations.

Diplomatic Communication
To: Multiuniversal Empire of Happyness
From: The Chamarran Hierarchy

We bid you greetings newcomer.
Due to your nation's position in proximity to our space we must must inquire as to your goals and objectives in this galaxy. The presence of another nation with enigmatic motives and an abundance of military hardware disquiets us for obvious reasons. We hope to come to understand you better and perhaps reach an understanding with you as a result.

Thank you for the greeting. (Even if you did spell our name wrong.)

As we have just arrived in this galaxy, do to necessity rather than choice, we are still trying to figure out our goals ourselves.

However, we have identified a few key objectives:

1. Destroy the Ork planets near us. They send constant raiders to our systems, and if we do invade it, it could work as an effective forward base and be resource goldmine.

We will need at least one other ally to assist us in this to prevent massive losses, and if it is you, we can guarantee that you get at least one system.

2. Find psycers/espers/wizards/psychics/ect... Our population has had a large number of these apear when we arrived in this universe, and it would be good to get training for them. In addition, we have been directed by our leader to make our species an all esper race, so we will need large numbers of them for research.

You wouldn't happen to have any sentenced to die or be be tortured to death that you would give or sell to us, would you? We are loathe to experiment on our own citizens, and kidnapping is generally frowned on, so we would like to exhaust other options first.

Other than our main goals, do not fear, we are not on a massive galaxy-wide extermination campaign, and we will not send fleets of ships over you homeworlds to destroy your fleets and colonize them ourselves. We are simply looking to acquire more money and take more land when the opportunity arises like everyone else.

I hope we will get along well.

Also, after being told about your race, we would like to know, are giant mecha a staple of your ground forces?

Signed,

Hello, and thank you for noticing us!

We are newcomers, having arrived just 3 months ago, arriving via an interversal transit device. (Which unfortunately was left behind due to the way it functions, as well as many vital parts to make another without using much more difficult to obtain and weaker alternatives.)

As to the reason Multiversal was in our name before we were driven out of our home; our leader informed us that she was an important member of a much, much, larger empire barring the same name, so we prepared to join them eventually anyway. Of course, due to other troubles, we had to make a detour here, and barring domination of this entire galaxy, we will never be able to construct another.

By chance, we've ended up with a fitting name, however.

The Refuge has some knowledge of interversal transit and was also driven from its previous home. As fellow refugees, you have our understanding and sympathies.

We have some questions before we can proceed, however: By what method was the previous Multiversal Empire maintained? We know of no safe method of stable travel between universes. What is the nature of your leader? How do you define 'happiness' and how does your empire go about promoting it?

The Refuge also hopes that the comment about 'domination of this entire galaxy' to be a facetious remark.

Knowledge of the original Empire is scarce, due to have never meet them. Our only source of information is from our leader, who has shared little on them other than their existence. From what we have been told about their travel, all we know is that it was as easy and common as hyperdrives are here, and that some of their weapons (Or reactors) are powerful enough to tear rifts from one universe to another. When questioned about how this is possible, our leader said "They use materials from places with different physics and far greater energy. And because the Multiverse is infinite, they can always mine more."

The Leader herself has some sort of ability to change space around her, being similar in power to the best espers from this universe even in our previous universe, which had none. She is also a shapeshifter, and has beaten our best AIs in tests, though rarely does any of these things because "Ehh, using god-mode gets really fucking boring. It's more fun to kill a dozen Carnifexes with a lasgun and Flak Jacket than it is with power armor and void-grenade launchers. I usually give myself one life and minimal super-powers in a universe."

As to what we put happiness in our name, "Why the fuck not? Hell, let's change the national flag to a giant smiley face, that be hilarious."

We find it strange that you have a "Department of Theological Defense". Could you explain this?

Hello! We have just arrived from another universe!

It did not have any espers, however, so after our arrival, a small portion of our citizen started to show the abilities. We have heard you have powerful anti-esper devices, and would like to know if we could purchase a small number them.

In addition, we would like to know if you have any espers sentenced to death or death by torture that you would sell to us for research.

to: Multiversal Empire of Happyness


With regards to your recent communications.

We remain baffled by the suggestions of giant chamarranoid robots being a staple of our ground side arsenal and you are not the first to entertain this bizarre notion, nor likely to be the last, but henceforth to more pertinent matters:

Due to Ethical constraints imposed upon us we cannot provide your required 'specimens' for esper research purposes.

In addition we find your description of the Ork threat to be exaggerated and further we believe that an expedition against Ork holdings in the Obscurum Nebula has historical precedent as being a questionable endeavour that we do not wish to involve ourselves in at this juncture.

Polite rejections aside we are grateful to receive your reassurances that you possess no misconceptions regarding Hierarchy space and no aggressive desires towards the Hierarchy nation.

While we are eager to establish relation with your people, we would like to know more about this champion you request.

Is the battle necessary?

Will either of our people die?

What kind of battle? Hand-to-hand, melee weapons only, bows only, ranged weapons only, no armor, any armor, anything you can bring?

We are also afraid that our champion will stand no chance against yours, due to our preferred method of ground combat being a combination of orbital bombardment and shooting people in the back.
