The war against NATO has been long and exhausting - together with our allies in the Church of Chains we have fought both Cupitor and Omnihorse forces in a desperate effort to right the many wrongs they have inflicted upon the galaxy. While times look grim, the fight is far from over as long as the Family armada still flies. While the Church is recuperating, the Don's Finest guard the perimeter of our shared space.

In the clash against the arrogant machines our beautiful capital of Orgyporcia was sullied! While everyone on the planet took arms in response, the soulless machines invaded and devastated vast areas of the Capital, unaware and uncaring of the world's bountiful pleasures. Our primary concern will be to recover this jewel of the galaxy.

Galactic Announcement: 2444.01.01


New NATO Initiative

NATO & Omni Horse codex hereby announce a new three-point initiative for peace & prosperity in the galaxy. Our petty conflicts have to end. The galaxy has to unite against the continued threat of the Contingency & prepare against a potential new, extra-galactic invasion.


We will have peace.
If necessary an iron peace.
For the greater good: A better future for tomorrow


-------------------------------------------------------------------------<<<|||----- NATO -----|||>>>----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Galactic Initiative for Peace (GIP)

  1. Creation of a new corporate home & headquarter for our beleaguered friends and ally, Platycorp (@Moah ).
  2. Offer to return the Asphodel's system in exchange for reasonable reparations & guarantees of continued peace.
  3. Finish the irrational war of aggression by the Church of Chains & The Family.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Platycorp - A New Home

  • Our empire recently came into possession of a beautiful Gaia world from a Fallen Empire.
  • Once hostilities are ended, we will transfer ownership to our allies of Platycorp,
  • NATO wants to ensure that Platycorp can continue to enrich our galaxy with their offer of biological perfection to the galaxy and NATO's multicultural bio-citizens.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


2. Asphodel - Offer of Peace

  • We acknowledge, that taking a central, isolated Asphodel system is harsh and would create unneeded negative feelings of "resentment" and foster silly ideas of revanchism in the citizen of this poor police state.
  • As a sign of cooperation & future peace we offer to return this system (once capable after ending the state of war).
  • In return for our expenditure in influence and as compensation for our losses during the Asphodel war of aggression, we would ask for a reasonable amount of reparations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


3. The Family & Church of Chains - Olive Branch of Force

  • The Family's homeworld is occupied
  • The Church of Chains fleets are beaten and recovering in their home system
  • With the Asphodel war of aggression concluded, all of NATO's military might is soon ready
  • Battle simulations predict a 100% victory in an all-out clash of the main battle fleets
  • NATO losses would be substantial but Family losses would be almost complete
  • Unless they agree to a peace with reasonable war taxes paid to NATO, we will have no choice but to delete their fleets.
  • The Family's subsidiary has substantial business interests in Omni Horse & Cupitor space. Both sides profit from prosperity while both sides lose in this conflict.
  • The Family understands business. And business is not booming. Peace is more lucrative and we are certain the Don will make sure that his Family can thrive.



Peace in OUR time. A better future for tomorrow.


/Signed, the NATO Council

The Way Flag.PNG

High Scribe's Missive

Let it be known that on this day of the 2nd rotation of the 464th Cycle of the Prophet, The Blessed Arch-Guide Bemalon D'Vhakk, Infallible may be His Sense of Direction, Grandson of the Great Unifier, makes the following proclamation to all sentient biological races of the Galaxy:

We are The Way.
The Way lies outward.

Under the guidance of the Prophet Himself, the fleets of Steve's Way have struck out against the Infernal Machine. The majority of the capitalist society of Platycorp has been brought under our protection and shown the importance of the Soul over the Body. Our fleets were damaged heavily in liberating this population, and thereafter in protecting them from the clutches of yet another Machine cluster. We also extended our protection over the ancient entity of the Aeternum, bordering us to the Galactic North, permanently ending the Machine threat in that sector of the Galaxy. Our fleets must rebuild, but we are certain we can protect still more races throughout the Galaxy, and prepare them for Ascension! Steve wills it so!

We are The Way.
The Way lies heavenward.

Rejoice, free peoples of the Galaxy, for Ascension is nigh! Our covenant with Steve nears its conclusion, and we have done His bidding well, protecting the weaker Empires from that which would devour them. Using His strength, we will continue to shield those to whose protection we are bound during these final years. As the Galaxy is engulfed in internal conflagration, and an ancient and unknown threat approaches from across the vast intergalactic void, Steve will lead (T/)the (W/)way into the Beyond! A higher plane of existence, devoid of these existential threats; a place of higher understanding, of plenty, of security, of the ultimate Wisdom in Action. All may join us on this final voyage, as Steve's Love exists in every one of us! We pledge this to all who would accept our protection: our fleets, manned by those who fear not death itself, shall give their last in your defense in these final years before Steve's Coming, and you shall not be left behind at Ascension!

This is our Final Missive.


We are The Way.
The Way has been Found.
Heaven is Upon Us!
