Ludovit walked to the front of the bridge, where Commander Baker waited for him.

"All stations are ready for reversion," his second-in-command reported.

Ludovit watched the swirling mass of hyperspace for a moment before replying, "Place the fleet on yellow alert, activate the tactical map."

Baker gestured into a crew pit, and the light strips along the floor blinked on, casting a faint yellow glow onto the floor. At the same time, a plethora of shapes appeared on the walls, windows, and in the air, each of them with a tiny name and status readout. Directly in front of Ludovit's head was an olive hexagon, representing the Michalovce , surrounded by a cloud of diamonds, squares, and triangles. Near the front of the cloud, the shapes became darker, surrounding an apple green hexagon - the Audacity . The rear of the formation was brought up by a final hexagon - artichoke in colour - which dwelled in the centre of a third cloud. Surrounding the subfleet was a ring of starfighters, represented by simple circles, with a single square at the very peak - the Inéluctable .

Now, the mass of dots was slowly compressing along its length, as the shared hyperwarp field fought relativity. The waves of exotic matter outside the bridge windows became stringier until they transformed into long trails of light, and finally into a sparse starscape - the fleet had been heading away from the galactic centre, and most of the Milky Way was out of sight.

Something caught Ludovit's eye - a cluster of lights, directly ahead. Baker followed his gaze, "That's 'em, Captain. Audacity pulled 'em outta hyperwarp. They were goin' slow - only 'bout A-3.8"

Ludovit stroked his beard, "That's strange. Any signals?"

"Audacity's hailin' 'em. No response. Tellin' us to proceed."

"Commence firing according to the protocol."

"Yessir."

Baker motioned to a gunnery officer, and one of the long-range phasers on the bow of the Michalovce began to glow. A particle beam shot out at just under the speed of light, and the tactical map shrunk to show its progress to the target, represented by a large orange question mark within an octagon. Ludovit threw a puzzled look at Baker.

"We're 'avin trouble scannin' 'em, Cap'*. They're trying to rebuild their hyperwarp field and it's screwin' with our sensors."

Ludovit looked back down at the map. The beam had nearly crossed the thirty light-second gap. It shot over the orange prism, dissipating after a few more seconds.

"Have they responded to the warning shot?"

"No, sir. They're beginnin' to accelerate towards us."

"Potential collision?"

"No, we aren' detectin' any particle emissions, they're usin' their hyperwarp field. As they come closer, our jammers will shrink the field, forcin' 'em to slow."

"Very good. How long on the timer?"

"Forty-three secon's."

"Prepare a second shot."

The phaser began to glow again, and as the counter reached zero, another shot lanced out towards the orbs. This time, it connected, although he couldn't see the impact.

Yesterday evening, the world learnt that the King of Atlantis, known for his wild purple hair, suddenly had no face. He has abdicated from his position.

Prime Minister Moofish has stated it's an outrage, stating "The former King should be banished to Belozay or Nera. He has no right to remain in this great nation, we should transform this nation to a complete democracy, with no monarch."

Pope Pineapple XI has suggested that Atlantis be transformed into a theocracy, with the Pope at any time ruling the nation. Meanwhile, those loyal to the King continue to support him as King of Atlantis.

The nation's armed forces are confused. In their pledge of allegiance when signing up, they pledged loyalty to the King and Government. What happens when the two disagree?

Atlantis is in troubled times. Our nation is deeply divided.

Civil war looms on the horizon. The northern provinces of the Atlantis African Territory, as well as Madagascar are supporting the Republicans, while the southern provinces support the Royalists. The Mayotte and Comoros Isles have given the Pope their support. The Atlantis American Territory is supporting the Republicans as well.

As for the Atlantis Space Territories, they too are divided. The Ophir System, controlled by the incrediby powerful Ophir Trade Company, has stated that it backs the Republicans. The Demeter and Athens systems, also partially controlled by the Ophir Company are divided. Company territory supports the Republicans of course, but most the rest supports the Royalists. Finally, the Ares and Helios Systems have pledged support to the Republican and Royalists, respectively.

War may have already begun, after two Ophir military cruisers destroyed a Royalist ship that was in their system.

OOG: This will somehow link to the BoSS motion plot, mainly the first project element. END of OOG.

HFPE

The Constellation Program has been renewed. Sagittarian Station at the galactic core has been recommisioned to begin black hole and accretion disk research, beginning where Project Sagittarius left off. The project was meant to establish a break through in matter projection and phase development, but after an incident at the station killed off the entirety of the crew except a handful of the top research crew, the project was left alone. Sithlord Man II decided that it best be restarted to understand how phase pattern of matter, energy, and information work near huge gravitation wells, and how to phase this matter through differential mediums with intense gravity wells to different locations.

Project Centaurus has been reactivated to study the principles of exotic and dark matter. The project will also go back on old technology to research Neutra-matter. The project will also look into producing anti-matter warheads once again, military officials do not want to manufacture WMDs.

----

A group of 15 Venator-Class cruisers have gone on patrol to the Outer Rim. The fleet is investigating strange signal noise coming from research satellites and radio telescopes located near Palavan. (Will be part of the plot).

END

OOG: For those who don't know what it was, it used to be the only type of material/matter able to safely touch antimatter without a violent reaction. Currently, I'm not sure what the current state of the matter is in this game.

Ophir: A major battle between Republican and Royalist forces occurred. A total of forty Royalist ships and twenty seven Republican ships battled along a supply route between Ophir territories in Demeter and the Ophir system.

Significantly outnumbered, twelve Republican ships were lost before they warped away, while only three Royalist ships were destroyed. The Ophir territories in the Athens and Demeter systems are now being occupied by Royalist forces.

-=-=-
Tanzania: A front line has been established between Republican and Royalist forces along the southern Tanzanian border. Republican forces on the south sde of the border are much better equipped, having control of the wealthy provinces and a larger quantity of troops and technology on Earth.

-=-=-
Mozambique Channel: A brief naval battle occurred off the coast of the Pineapple Papacy. Republican forces have taken control over the isles, the Papacy will, of course, continue operating as normal, but their secession dreams have been abandoned.

Prime Minister Cicy shifted in her HoloChair, the solidified light matter contorting to offer her the utmost comfort, and brought her brilliant purple eyes to bear onto the figure infront of her. "What are we going to do with you then?", she questioned.

"Well, you know where I stand, don't you! You have this entire country on a tight leash, don't you think I don't know! One thosuand years you've sat there, gradually stripping my institution of it's powers - and now, well, look at me! I'm you're figurehead, pure and simple. I won't have it anymore, I'll go to the press, to the Royalists, to anyone who will listen. We will secede!". The figure had become increasingly irrate throughout her monologue, and by the end she was mere inches from the Prime Minister, spluttering in her face.

"How unbecoming of you, Your Majesty. You're right, of course, I have been Prime Minister for over a millenia, just as you have sat on high in Refleja Palace for near as long. You are still the Queen, still the Foremost Speaker of the Disparitious House and yet you say I have stolen your power? No. You have become increasingly power hungry throughout the centuries, and now I have no way to sate you. This is a democratic country, damn it, and we will not be governed by an unelected megalomaniac. I have been elected justly over ---"

"Justly!? Don't make me laugh. There have been 128 elections since your 'ascension'. You really think I believe that you've won them all fairly? Why, I remember many opposition candidates that have simply petered away - their funds run out, they transfer parties. No. You are no democratic leader. I represent the people, I listen to them... You and your cronies represent yourselves. You strengthen your own and the elite by leeching off the rest of us and we will not stand for it anymore." Aicy

"We will not stand for it, eh? Who is this we? This country, this Glorious Kingdom, does not like change. That is why I have lead it for so long, as everyone is content. Crime is low, unemployment? Low. GDP? High. Everytime is working - if you try and change it, you cannot kid yourself: it will mean war, Queen Chloe. I cannot stop you, but don't force our country down this road. It will not end well, for any of us."

With that, Queen Chloe made her way toward the door, as if in defeat. Just as she reached it, however, she turned, her eyes filling with sudden impudence, and she held Cicy's gaze. From her neck, she removed the Arrandir - the sigil of the Kingdom - and threw it down at Cicy. The Premier shot up, shock adorning her features as her wings shot out to grant her the full authority of her frame. "Is this truly your wish? You would see this country ruined before you submit?".

"So it seems," Aicy
