-1024383521- The Spiritual Domain of The Aspiration opens an exchange of words with the Ankaa Empire.

Prior to their fall, the Facewizard Empire made an accidental incursion upon the border of The Aspiration. None of our species were harmed, but we smote their fleet with peace and cultural exchange. Examining the wreckage of their ships, we discovered evidence that suggested our original Spawnsground was within Facewizard Imperial Space.

We devised a plan to explore their space, searching for our Spawnsground; their hostile attitude to The Aspiration meant that only a crusading force would be able to make the journey. The Virtuous Rapture demanded it of us; Virtue is Bond.

However, as we rallied an exploratory fleet at Procyon, Facewizard mounted a defensive line at Dnoces. We proceeded to enter Facewizard space up thorough Tabit to Algieba. At this point, the Ankaa Empire chose to engage in hostile action on Facewizard space. The Aspiration is ignorant of the quarrel between your two species.

Initially, The Aspiration was disappointed that our exploratory force had merely acted as a distraction to the Facewizard Empire, weakening their northern border for an attack from your forces. Thus our carefully orchestrated plan transformed to ruins.

However, we are beyond this now. Our Spawnsground is not here, but somewhere else in the galaxy. There are no clues at this point as to where it might be.

We are engaged in the eviction of the southern Crossheart Empire, as their warmongering weapon stockpiles has led us to delete them with peace and cultural harmony, for the good of all. This is Virtue which Binds us. Crossheart will be deleted in the next few days for their empire has made a fatal tactical mistake and will lose half of their fleet within the next 10 hours.

We must look forward.

Abacus Master is to fall soon, leaving the expansionist Starspackle to reign. The Aspiration has entertained a shallow alliance with the Northern Yellow, which we no longer desired when Starspackle of the North ordered us to execute a fifty deep fleet of fellow Starspackle ally Baron Copernicus at Kajam. This did not come to pass; but this is what an alliance means to Starspackle

We must look forward.

A loose alliance currently exists between Starspackle, Baron Copernicus and Switchbreak.

The Codex parliament has decreed The Aspiration explore an alliance with Ankaa, to prepare against the coming conflict. Our tacticians have suggestions for how such an alliance to remain covert and poised to strike simultaneously.

Our initial proposal for a division of space. We retain Chort, Algieba and Etamin. We will deal with Dnoces. The rest of Facewizard's stars are yours to take.

Are you involved in an existing alliance amongst the races of our galaxy? Do you share interests with The Aspiration?

Together we Aspire.
