News and Rumors
The comings and goings of the queen are often the subject of much gossip, speculation, media coverage and other public attention. And despite the discipline of most of the queen's staff, some information takes very little time to begin spreading. It does not go unnoticed that the queen has received an imperial invitation, and departs on a rapid air-shuttle along with a small retinue in fairly short order.
After their return, descriptions spread of lavish spaces at the Imperial Embassy. The reception is said to have been exquisite, but brief. While most of the retinue was comfortably situated, the queen was escorted alone to a private inner chamber. There she spent some hours, then returned. The party was housed for the evening, and then returned to Verglass the following day. The queen has not provided any public address of what else transpired, though it is known that there have been numerous meetings with the state councilors the weeks following.
Actions:
1) [Diplomacy] Special 10 - Create Space Habitat: Ouvriead
Significant manufacturing resources across the country are mobilized. Government facilities are prioritized, and private companies contracted, to produce the largest structure assembled to date. Hundreds of launches bring various modules, materials, and supplies into orbit, where they are assembled by a vast engineering crew. Practically a small city in it's own right, the first new fully artificial orbital body in two millennia takes shape above the southern hemisphere of Sansar. While the working project title provided in its early staged is 'UUOU', by the second year of construction it is officially named: Ouvriead.
2) [Diplomacy] Raise Reputation - Imperial Court 3 -> 4 (TN 16; Roll: 19 - Success)
The Imperial ambitions of House Ebonne are not sated. Welcoming the prestigious honor of being the first Elect with recognized representation in the Imperial Senate, there is yet higher potential. The queen will be satisfied with nothing less than the fabled 'Grey Eminence.'
3) [Diplomacy] Sway Media Support - Region 28 (TN: 12; Roll: 14 - Success)
The group of Todds on hire from Veehra work to roll out modern media infrastructure in a series of several month-long projects, beginning with the larger population centers. These are then connected to local Caipe Ushere transmissions, as well as more interplanetary communications. There are hiccups and setbacks, of course, but nothing Todds cannot handle.
4) [Military] Raise Unit - Gound: 4th Dragoon Mobile Infantry Brigade
Given the recent increase in military actions both on Sansar and across worlds, Queen Chalise requests that Chief Navarch Ekatrin Raikier bolster Caipe Ushere's military ranks. The hope is that news of interplanetary warfare will combine with an impressive benefits package will encourage enlistment. The new recruit drive, training and equipment is paid by the military portion of the Ai Telle recently bolstered by new trade, along with a sizeable transfer from the royal coffers.
5) [Military] Raise Unit - Space: 2nd Light Destroyer Wing
Following the plans previously devised with the Imperial shipwrights, a new group of spacefaring vessels is armed and crewed as before. The long sleek destroyers are reminiscent in hull shape to the sailing vessels of centuries ago, though lacking in masts and sails. Projectile cannons line the sides and bow, while arcane turrets provide amplification for the ships' geomancer contingent to direct offensive of defensive magic.
