No I didn't, last time I bought land was from reformed imperis, which were two stars for a little more than 68 trillion each

The Wires Empire wrote:I sincerely apologize friend, but CONCORD will not function, especially as ATA grows beyond the Milky Way. An economic pact of close stable allies will keep them close and United, without any annoying clauses, just trust.

TWE, you must understand, of all people, that alliances are not built on trust. You know, as much as anybody does, that allies are ready to betray one another as soon as things go wrong or they see an opportunity to pick something out of their bloated corpse.

That is true.. in a way. However, it still doesn’t justify just.. refusing to join CONCORD. Yet, I can still sense your lingering resentment, your hesitation to join.

Hashari Darussalam wrote:Continued disappearance of suspicious vessels that have been recorded with piracy history keeps happening with the same star-circle logo being embossed onto abandoned ships or the wreck of destroyed ships with the marking word of either "Confiscated" or "Neutralized".

Civilian spacecraft have also begin reporting strange vessels carrying the same star-circle logo and sleek design, seemingly protecting the civilian spacecraft before disappearing once more, noted to have an incredible speed and agility for its size.

The most common of these mysterious vessels were a small white frigate and a medium sized cruiser with unknown offensive/defensive capability, noted to have excellent speed and agility.
The rarer variant of these vessels were battleships with the same design philosophy and the same speed characteristics, seemingly lacking exposed heavy weaponry.

As the disappearance of suspicious vessels increases, so do the amount of pirate vessels and the amount of star-circle logos being "stapled" onto pirate vessels. Rumours start spreading around that the number of these logos on a ship determines the power of a pirate ship. The marking words used are also bastardized, and stuck onto pirate vessels, with letters swapped around.

The speed and agility of pirate vessels seem to have increased once again, almost supernaturally fast without someone supporting them.

Pirate vessels have gotten more bold, sometimes even skirmishing civilian spacecraft with the strange vessels in sight, damaging the civilian vessels slightly before cloaking and disappearing without an actual trace. Several survivors of larger cargo vessel raids report a more structured piracy, with larger vessels surrounded by smaller vessels with a defensive layer.

For the civilian spacecraft without the strange vessels, survivors have reported being chased and trapped during seemingly planned fleeing-routes towards asteroid-filled areas to more safely loot them. Plus, some skirmishes are happening quite close to neutral(not actively doing stuff against piracy) nations' space territories before ducking away.

I hope CONCORD supports national space territory, or that last sentence won't be useful at all.

We have lots of resentment to join any alliance unspoken. We appreciate your close friendship with us, but it isn’t close to join this peacekeeping group.
Although, I would agree to a new galactic organization, one which won’t involve the military. One that actually functions.

Just make sure the clauses fits for your nation and you're welcomed onto the CONCORD.

Mainly an agricultural nation anyway. I should be fine.

Stars get their energy via fusing hydrogen atoms into heavier components, eventually, in their dying years, the elements get too heavy to fuse, becoming valuable minerals. Yes, they’re not that useful now, but. If you can cause the fusion process to go faster, which we do, you can cause the Star to implode, and gather the after effect minerals.

Then why even mention yourself as peacekeepers? A peacekeeper is an overlord which oversees everything. Not a being which negotiates.
