GalNet: New Republic And Federation: War // [RP] Far Away From The Bubble
30 Sep 2021Rho Tefnutet
[Article written and issued by Nkizo Baxter, en lieu of the usual journalist.]After the initial message about diplomatic negotiations in regard to Delta Pavonis, a former Federal system which is pushed towards joining either Yuri Grom or Federal borders, General Maite Snider made a clear statement:
"Joint Expeditionary Forces shall uphold the right of the independent systems for self-governing without control of a corrupt Federal state. While majority of this meeting is made in spirit of negotiations, I shall delegate our own agents to make sure it will go without any unnecessary political bullying from incompetent Hudson-Archer administration. However, that does not meet our initial goal: to eliminate threat from the Federal Agents who operate illegally outside their own turf, according to their own phony "law" that abuses the privacy of the Federal - and in extension, Independent by choice - citizens. Terrorists from PDB criminal organization has no right for jury they defy in their own actions."
This met with extremely vicious response from recently resurrected and local version of Federal Tribune in Yalungurawa system, which has been exempted from outright ban towards Federal entities by New Republic. The Tribune stated:
"This dictatorial demand that should have no precedence at all is still going on! The entity which banned involvement of our own Proactive Detection Bureau to operate should not take role in trying to tell others what is wrong and what is not!"
The accusing commentary on GalNet already met with a lot of different opinions, which generally lean towards pro-independent stance. The region around Draguan Nu is known for its independent states which operate with little to no involvement from the superpowers, such as Imperial-owned Baldr which has very lax laws compared to the governments surrounding Achernar.
One of the anonymous sources in New Republic also added:
"What General Snider is pushing forward is response to outright illegal operations that met with a lot of resistance. Suddenly, after Proactive Detection Bureau has been founded, the Federation suddenly became a home to billions of terrorists. And no, that was irony before you ask any questions (...) but I think Zachary Hudson should be removed from the office. To many, the best solution would be a bullet straight into his head like you do with a rabid animal."
However, with recent events that marked EG Union being in state of open war with Federation led by Zachary Hudson, the initial preparations to renew negotiations and ease the relations were dropped. The only public message ever made by New Republican representative was a short notice of formal war declaration against Federal forces associated with Zachary Hudson. The zone of operations are to include Delta Pavonis only up to date with strong emphasis on abiding to rules of civilized maritime warfare.
Some Joint Expeditionary Forces officers however started to pressure HQ in Draguan Nu to establish a galaxy-wide request in order to get rid of oppressive rule of Zachary Hudson given close proximity to Sol. Such idea met with mixed opinion among the systems controlled by New Republic, yet with third of people calling to act in such direction - with or without military approval from Draguan Nu.
So far, General Maite Snider officially forbade any actions outside Delta Pavonis in order not to escalate what she refers to as "Federal diplomatic failure" in this system, what surprised part of the public opinion given her impulsive decisions. The intentions behind it are not clear however since New Republican PR went silent in regard to such a subject.

Rho couldn't believe upon opening the datapad and getting the signal from Draguan Nu, in order to check if nothing happens around. However after seeing the article his eye just twitched. And it wasn't just because he had a few cups of coffee already but by the fact this sort of situation dropped just after the day into the black. It was supposed to be calm vacation for at least a few long weeks given the calm period. It turned out it wasn't going to be a calm period at all.
"Well, Ingrid is going to be pissed. We were out just for ONE day and made plans to stay away from humanity for at least a month."
He sighed.
"Let's just hope she won't throw items around."
