Declaration of War against the Venterran Federation
So with the Tunnel of Contest thread heating up, a war between the Stoinians and Venterrans will take place. The King has already enacted a sectorwide state of emergency for the Core, Elysium and Rhodesian sectors. By Stoinian law it is required that all three parties of Stoinian Governance: military, Congress and King, vote unanimously to declare a state of war. This session will take place in the first week when the Venterran Fleet is still bombarding Cornucopia and its shields are holding for now. The military hasn't yet fully mobilized and Grand Admirals Corvousier, Vir and Harrington are scrambling ships from their sectors to launch a counterattack. The Venterran assault is pushing further into Stoinian territory and is slowly being halted at the grey line as of the moment of the session. The Venterran threat is real and the People's Assembly has already voted in favour and the support of Congress now falls into the hands of the Senate The Venterran threat is real and the People's Assembly has already voted in favour for it. The fate now rests in the hands of the Senate and the resolution WILL pass, but politicians being politicians will take this change to make their agendas clear. However the Senate will vote near unanimously as news of the Venterrans will start to glass the planet Ignis. This news will not arrive before the end of the RP and when to genocidal Venterrans unleash their true nature, all will want to fight against extermination. Still having the Velutarian War in memory where many planets were glassed (red ones on map), the population will not want to yield as the overcoming stories still are spread in the Star Kingdom. However horror stories are still out there and many veterans of that war are also in Congress. Proponents: The parties in favour for the declaration of war are the Centrist Party, Crown's Guard, Traditional Party for Colonial Empowerment. The Centrist and Crown's Guard believe there is no way for clear communication and thus the Venterrans have forced them into declaring a state of war. The Traditional Party is in favour as well as they view it as chance to prove Terran superiority again. Opponents: There will be some initial resistance as well though. The Democratic and Liberal Party will call this as an example of the problems with the military. They want complete civilian supervision and takeover of the military to ensure that the soldiers' right aren't infringed like with the SPARTAN Program. They also will acclaim the King's vote and his powers as being a form of absolutism. In essence this session is just a ceremony to reflect the will of the people. The fact that there can be defensive war without Congress' approval is a problem in the current Stoinian system and they will seize this moment to ask for changes into the constitution to limit the King's powers and his removal as head of the military (in most extreme cases). The Progressive Xeno Party sees this as unnecessary bloodshed and will favour some form of peace opportunity as not many Stoinians (just military personnel) have fallen just yet. This idea will gain even more hate towards them from all other parties however and more militant factions within the TPCE will interrupt them during their speeches. Independents are mostly in favour, but exceptions do exist. General Background: The King is highly praised as a hero from the Velutarian War and it takes more extreme factions to attack his actions personally. Some see him as a menace as he did call for a Crusade not so long ago. The scars from the Velutarian War are still deep and not many are reluctant to go on a war again. During the military's take over in the Velutarian War, many rights were put aside in he effort to win the war. Regent MacArthur is still seen by many as a hero and the Second Father of Stoinia, but more and more criticism has grown over the years as the military's actions have been declassified. The opponents will try to seize this moment to undo the MacArthur Reforms which diminished the civilian government's say in military matters. More extreme xenophobes will call for the extermination of the Venterrans as they show no capacity for diplomacy. How this RP will take place:
Pacifica: Myria, Sallodesia, Stoinia • A1-0: Stoinian Star Kingdom • Aurora: Kingdom of Threnebor
