Cooler heads among the Avalonians and Damaskians have recently come into the open to discuss secret talks. Wars have bankrupted the Damaskians, and have sent the people of the Avalonian Protectorate scrambling to become more insular and less willing to shepherd new races and worlds into the light of Galactic Civilization.

However, both societies need an outlet for their adventurous souls. Shadowguards who are ill at ease living in peace on their homeworld need something to do. Paladins, who have spent their lives protecting and adventuring are likewise stifled in this new era.

Saiyans move about the Galaxy unfettered by boundaries and law. Robots create factories that create robots that explode like viruses upon reaching Critical Mass. Villains destroy worlds with once extinct trees, and battles rage between Paragons of civilizations that ruin entire biospheres for generations. Shadowguards and Paladins who are unable to protect an entire galaxy from its perceived villains, must be allowed to do something... Young men and women who long for the thrill of adventure, travel, and a harder life than the boring cosmopolitan existence on Damaskia or Avalon herself must be allowed to leave.

These two groups, warriors and civilians, can be used by their peoples to expand without expending resources and causing disruption on their own worlds.

The Idea, is a new Colonial effort. Between Avalon and Damaskia, specifically between Namek and Damaskia, are a series of fertile worlds that both civilizations have attempted to colonize or exploit in the past. Wars between them have ravaged these worlds time and time again. These wars between cousin races have stunted both of their growths, and caused them to wane in power against the Saiyans and Icosians, and even the Keliouxans to a degree.

Therefore, Damaskia and Avalon will share this space. In an effort to foster peace between one another, and strengthen them against future enemies, they will embark on a grand adventure. Shadowguards and Paladins will be sent to worlds extremely close to one another, and assist and protect the colonists and New Races found there.

There will be strife and growing pains, but the two divergent civilizations, and any new ones they adopt in this region of space, will have to learn to work together to survive the hardships. Avalon will not send its money and technology. Damaskia will not send its fleets and soldiers. That is the essence of the agreement. A hands off approach. Aging civilizations reliant on welfare systems and less and less interest in military service will rely on the ingenuity and strength of their wayward children to form a powerful new bloc to revitalize and bring strength back to both of their parent worlds.



====================================================


With the addition of new items, such as the Planetary Defenders, Planetary Shields, and Trees of Life, Custom Player worlds are a lot more viable than ever. Let's do something about it!



tl;dr: New Alliance.

Short Term Plan: Paladins and Shadowguards who wish to become colonial governors are welcome to join the alliance. Current working title is 'The Colonial Governors' with a planned switch in the future to something less lame. Taking suggestions. Requirements to join are simple. Be a Paladin or Shadowguard, and own your own custom world.


Long Term Plan: Eventually, once we have a good number of worlds and some really advanced civilizations, we will 'break off' from our Parent organizations. We will adopt a new name, and become the first truly 'Player Run' Galactic Organization. Current working title: "The Wildspace Republic' also taking suggestions.

I've got 3 or 4 interested members of note atm. So it's actually going to be a thing soon.

Any ideas or questions, pm or AIM me. Or talk to me on cbox.

I don't want to be in an alliance, but I'd be up for being a part of this since I'm in the shadowguard

I find it hard to believe the Avalanians and Damaskians would work together. The two cultures/races have a long standing history of violence and dismay towards each other. The Damaskians were exiled from Avalon a long time ago and because of that they have a great amount of animosity towards Avalon and everything they stand for.

"Of note" is a strange term.

Second, a galactic organization would require galactic leadership, as in, people with influence throughout the galaxy.

Finally, the rivalry between Avalon and Damaskia is something that has a long standing history in site lore. An outcast republic would be more likely than a grouping of "cooler heads" taking command of a joint effort. Damaskia is the antithesis to everything that Avalon is.

That said, as the Avalanian RP Guide, I'd like to hear what the Damaskian guide has to say about this.

This is a massive tl;dr. I know it. You don't need to post saying tl;dr. I know very few of you will be interested enough to read it.



Alright. Well, lets go into some details on geopolitics and historical references I guess.


The Avalonians and Damaskians aren't, in fact, working together. That was part of the original post. What is happening, is an agreement. The Damaskians will not send their militaries into the Colonial Zone, and the Avalonians won't send wealth. (obviously vice versa is true).

These types of agreements go back as far, and further, than the Romans and Carthaginians, who made peace with one another and considered each other friends for long periods of time. They did not come into one anothers lands, but certain lands were considered a sort of DMZ.

Athens and Sparta, for an even older example, were enemies for much of their existence. However, when the Persians came, all Greeks opposed them.

That is the situation at hand.

America is another example. A lush, fertile land where many could prosper. England and Spain, and England and France, and France and.... etc etc... A half dozen major colonial powers sent people into this new land so that all could prosper. For the most part, they did little battle. It broke out from time to time, sure... But even today we can see partial examples of their agreements. Portugeese is spoken in much of what was once New Spain. Louisiana in America is full of French Colonial descendents. Even Canada, which is still marginally British, is known for its French-Quebec populace. The examples go on.

Anyway, here is the situation:

Damaskia has attempted time and again to expand through warfare. I have taken the obvious presumption that they also did so with colonialization. Avalon, always the larger of the two, preferred a peaceful expansion. During the early years, they were fine opposing the Damaskians in War while slowly gathering in like minded and younger races to their bosom of strength and security.

The area of space between the Damaskians and Avalonians is a very fertile region off of the sagittarius and persues arms. Many habitable worlds probably exist. It is not a large leap to assume they have colonized these worlds, and then torn them apart over and over through their constant warfare.

This war has stopped their expansion towards one another. Damaskia has been stymied in its expansion in other directions, and Avalon has reached its maximum reach in the southern hemisphere of the Galaxy. To the north are many independent worlds, buttressed by the Kelioxans and Saiyans.


Avalon can no longer expand its reach in the direction it was, due to the Saiyans and PTO. In fact, due to the constant war their territory is being rolled BACK. They are losing ground.

The Damaskians may attempt to move across the northern galaxy, but be forced to face the Kelioxans and Saiyans on that side, as well as the various strong indie worlds.

Neither society can expand peacefully.



THEN... you realize there is a massive portion of the galaxy between them, that is barely inhabited. These fertile potential worlds could become such a fantastic source of wealth and potential for them, if only they could be exploited...

The Saiyans, nor the PTO can really colonize this region. The logistics are impossible. These Saiyan or other racial colonies would be cut off from quick support, and able to be taken or exploited by the local polities- the damaskians and the Avalonians.

So, like many societies in our own world, an agreement must be reached.


Avalon and Damaskia arent working together to colonize this region. They are essentially signing a Monroe doctrine of non-interventionism. Damaskians and Avalonians who WISH to charter new worlds may do so, but without the financial or military support of their parent polities.

This is a huge advantage for both of them, as the expense of a state funded colonial effort would be tremendous. Instead, they see the potential fiscal gain.

Who is going to sell the new worlds the combines they will need for their crops to grow? Who will sell them the initial mining equipment so they can construct their own manufacturing centers in time? Who will sell them blueprints, and eventual ships so they can trade?

Damaskia and Avalon. And of course, because that is the only real choice due to location and galactic distances, high tariffs and taxes will be levied. The financial boon will be enormous, with the potential to launch the Damaskians and Avalonian home civilizations into a new golden age.

In time, these worlds will become fully modernized, and trade will become invaluable. Massive cargo ships with the resources of new, fertile planets will create a new economic zone of the strength not seen since the Hanseatic League. Further in time, it is expected these worlds will want to become a part of one or another of the parent organizations. That would inject new, vibrant, and sustaining blood into aging civilizations.

That last bit isnt going to happen, of course...


But that is the situation, and I'm pretty sure anyone who read this and has a firm grasp on history and general notions of 'enemies of my enemies', colonialism, and the relationship between long standing warring neighbors will agree. (Hell, just look at France and England today).


Anyway. Thats it.

Oh, alright.

I misunderstood completely.

I'm willing to sign off on this if the Damaskian RP guide thinks Damaskia would contribute. I think that's either Riya/Anna or someone else, not sure.

It makes sense because after the war, Avalon lost three of their core planets and Damaskia didn't gain any ground. As the losers of the war, I figure they'd stop killing each other to gain some more ground to make up for it. So they do hate each other, but they aren't stupid. I see it as that.
