      -[x] [Shipwright's Alliance Trade Deal] The Glimmering Federation had a rocky initial diplomatic contact with the Shipwright's Alliance, but past years has seen that relationship smooth out significantly with regular trading between the two powers, especially through the verdant Irrita. But these trades have highlighted the ways in which each polity surpasses the other. The Glimmering Federation has a higher overall level of technology, especially as it relates to civilian, medical and heavy industry. Both are experienced shipbuilders, but the Shipwright's alliance has knowledge of many Imperial-derived techniques that surpass the capabilities of the Federation. More violent civilizations might seek to seize such advances, but both countries are war-weary and mislike the idea of fighting a potential friend in such a hostile galaxy. To that end, a proposal has been raised by the Federation Council to carry out an exchange of knowledge, where the Federation offers many fundamental technologies and manufacturing techniques in return for the shipbuilding expertise of the Alliance. However, such an exchange would empower both polities, and make any following war ever more destructive. Therefore, a parallel proposal has been made for a defensive alliance, to come to each others' aid if claimed systems are attacked. The proposal is flexible, able to be tailored to the desires of the Alliance, and contains cut-outs for if the attack was provoked by the nation under attack.
      -[x] [Other] The problem of Voxx Primus looms large, and the next step has to be expanding the capacity of the gang without drawing too much attention. Therefore, send more experts in agriculture as well as in getting factories and workplaces set up will be very helpful. They'll focus on weapons and armor that might pass for "The Imperial Guard has leaks" for the majority of the forces, but by better equipping them... and by having fewer limitations when it comes to the burgeoning Civilian Industry, the ever-increasing forces on Voxx Primus will be able to feed, clothe, and arm ever-greater numbers of people... and through industrial efficiency be able to do so without shortchanging the possibility of religious or otherwise education or a diversified economy.

      -[X] [Glimmering Research Publishing Institutes] The Academic Initiatives are flourishing, facilitating improvements to the efficiency of research and production. But those involved all agree that there are more opportunities that lie fallow. A collection of proposals have been made to improve the research capabilities of the Glimmering Federation by establishing publishing institutes throughout the Federation that focus on streamlining the communication and dissemination of research. Specifically, too often does critical research go unreported because of the difficulty of communication or the presence of negative results, or it is missed by researchers who aren't aware of what keywords to look for. This is in addition to the difficult of repeating difficult experiments because of vague instructions. These institutes would focus on fixing these problems by creating an integrated research reporting framework and rewarding well-demonstrated negative results just as strongly as positive results. Peer reviewers would be paid for their work, and basic science will be rewarded with prestige as strongly as exciting applied research. With these institutes, the saying "A month in the lab will save you a day in the library" will become a true joke instead of a painful reminder.

    • [X] [Voxx Primuse Afterplan] Plan: A Balanced Breakfast
      [X] [Kin Laws] Extraordinary deeds are to be rewarded, but so is loyal and consistent work. If a protectorate performs ably for 100 years, they are to be given a 25 year trial period as kin, observed closely for problems. At the end of this period, should there be no major problems, they shall be kin in full. Obviously, extraordinary deeds (as with the Kir'dabi) can shorten or remove this constraint.
      [X] [Yeeni] The Yeeni's construction and continued deployment of their Scout Cruiser Spirit of Discovery is indicative of the 'above and beyond' spirit of their species and should be a valid consideration for Kinship, especially when considered alongside the large active Yeeni contingents within our military apparatus. Neither of these actions are things required by a 'Good Protectorate taking their role seriously,' all that requires is paying your taxes on time and not causing problems. The Yeeni are actively seeking out involvement in wider Federation affairs, and have been doing so for an extended period of time. Their engineers are a core and crucial component in the running of our largest warships, the Leo Heavy Cruisers, and the Spirit of Discovery has been responsible for finding not one, not two, but dozens of abandoned precursor starships which could provide Star Child only knows what kinds of scientific advancement once grants are approved to study them. As such, though they have not performed anything so dramatic as our Kil'drabi siblings stand alongside us against a foreign foe, I believe that the Yeeni have demonstrated the desire, will, and strength of character necessary to be called our Kin.

      [X] [Kin Laws] Any Protectorate which has been a member of the Federation for no shorter than a century shall have the right to claim Kin status, which shall be granted within five years unless rejected by a Polity-wide Council within that time frame. The right to claim Kin status may also be extended to any Protectorate not younger than fifty years, at the discretion of a Polity-wide Council, for extraordinary service in war and peace.
      [X] [Voxx Primuse Afterplan] Plan: A Balanced Breakfast
      -[X] First, we must begin to create and expand space stations. What was done with Defense Stations, such at a level beyond belief, can be done with human habitation. Yet this alone will not be enough.
      -[X] Second, we must truly and fully continue upon completion the research of even further crops capable of growing in Hives (or Ex-Hives), and their integration. This Hive World must become increasingly self-sufficient, even if this means that space must be cleared which will necessitate decreases in the total population (see below). Yet this alone will not be enough.
      --[X] Means: Speak with the Irritia, you have a burgeoning humanitarian problem that's likely to pop, and you want to take the steps needed to minimize the issues. Do they have any insights on very, very high density food growing? Or barring that, how to produce large amounts of food in space?
      -[X] Third, emmigration is not a possibility but a necessity. While we cannot possibly house the whole of the population, depopulating Voxx Primus, even a drop of one, two, or perhaps at a very distant strength three hundred billion in the system--whether on planets or whether on new space stations--could be transformative. Yet this alone will not be enough.
      --[X] Means: While we are here at a Constitutional Convention, create modest (definitely compared to SDF and SAG budget concerns) requirements to invest in expanded housing, and the creation of infrastructure to allow to both better house those who are already there but also be ready for immigration if need be.
      -[X] Fourth, we need to encourage safe and humane birth-limits, tied specifically to capacity to raise children to a good standard of living, and coinciding with a propaganda campaign to encourage a different mindset of concentrating resources and efforts, at least until the population is under control. Yet this alone will not be enough.
      --[X] Means: As a provision now, while the larger campaign waits, make birth control readily available to the Star Child population on Voxx Primus, and begin education in Family Planning, and specifically the drive to have kids only when you can make sure they will have a good (by whatever is standard atm) quality of living. Etc, etc. Sewing small seeds for later situations, and hopefully making sure those who are born are loved, planned for, and more liable not to die in childhood.
      -[X] Fifth, we must remember that through the Star Child all things are possible, so jot that down. Through prayer to the Star Child for deliverence, and the study of such Melodies as Health, Compassion, the Home, and Family (which may aid in the 4th if used right), and the performance of unique Songs... we may yet bring salvation unto not just seven-hundred billion, but to the trillions that will yet live under the light of the Five. This, TOGETHER, will suffice!
      [X] [Yeeni] While the Yeeni have (arguably) not preformed the "extraordinary deeds" required of them, they have shown that they are enthusiastic and competent as they walk in the Star Child's light. So I say we give them the opportunity. Let them serve in first line military positions, let them learn our crafts, and let them take orders. Perhaps not so freely as true kin… yet. And, should they handle such ably? Then make them kin in full. They have given us a century of companionship, hard work and faith. We can extend this much trust. (Essentially give them a trial period as kin, say 25 years (because Star child) and if no issues crop up then they're kin in full).
      [X] [Voxx Primuse Afterplan] Plan: Practical Considerations
      -[X] First, whatever happens, it is likely the hive will need tremendous support for a prolonged amount of time, requiring the freeing up of massive amounts of transportation capacity. For this reason, a convoying system will be drawn up, so that a much smaller number of freights, guided by machine choir equipped vessels, can carry internal trade, while now surplus hulls can be put in reserve to eventually support the Hive world
      -[X] Second, we must truly and fully continue upon completion the research of even further crops capable of growing in Hives (or Ex-Hives), and their integration. This Hive World must become increasingly self-sufficient, even if this means that space must be cleared which will necessitate decreases in the total population (see below). Yet this alone will not be enough.

Do they have any insights on very, very high density food growing? Or barring that, how to produce large amounts of food in space?
      -[X] Third, whatever changes, we know that the vast majority of the population of Vox Primus shall remain there. As such, engineering priorities must focus on the development of detoxifying and in situ urban renewal practices? How does one rebuild a hive world. For this purpose, perhaps an engineering demonstration settlement can be constructed on Qulach's Forge's, and perhaps some arcologies on many other worlds, to both learn lessons and house people.
      -[X] Fourth, we need to encourage safe and humane birth-limits, tied specifically to capacity to raise children to a good standard of living, and coinciding with a propaganda campaign to encourage a different mindset of concentrating resources and efforts, at least until the population is under control. Yet this alone will not be enough.

Etc, etc. Sewing small seeds for later situations, and hopefully making sure those who are born are loved, planned for, and more liable not to die in childhood.
      -[X] Fifth, we have to consider, that upon this one world live more members that could be taken up by the Choirs, than in the entire Glimmering Federation. Recruitment and exfilitration of these individuals can avoid local incidents, while giving up the choirs needed to achieve a great many things, including mass transportation.

    • [X] Roll out a propaganda campaign, including carefully in certain cases asking the Lamenters to debunk some of these things... though be wary of the possibility of spreading belief by doing so. Emphasize among other things the role Lamenters actually play in government, the way that recruitment itself is not done via heredity, the atrocities that the Imperium has engaged in, whether Neonite or whatever rumors of the evils of Voxx Primus have inevitably slipped out, and more, to emphasize the extent to which Lineal Heritage, even for our friends the Lamenters, is not enough.
      -[X] Anyone found to have connections to the Divine Line heresy are not to be trusted with anything that interacts with the Lamenters in more than an incidental way. (IE, a random Thule believing it may be censured, but does not need to be barred from being a pilot just because it's possible they might one day be in a battle alongside Lamenters.)
      -[X] Make clear the holy position on such lineage-based beliefs, and even more clear the focus on deeds, and deeds ongoing rather than done once to deserve special considerations. The Lamenters are excellent friends and allies whose deeds are worthy of respect, but they do not seek to rule the Federation and trying to push them to do so would only weaken their obvious strengths.
      -[X] Just because one is a great engineer, does that mean they are a great warrior? Everyone has their unique talents and abilities, bounded not by heredity--at least not fully--but by their aptitudes. These talents and abilities should not be assumed to run to all fields, any more than we should think that only the best orators should run the Federation: the Council system allows all manner of different kinds of experts, bureaucratic, diplomatic, technological, psyakana-based, religious and more to, with the consent of the governed, guide the Federation. To narrow it down to one thing is to reject the bounty of the Star Child's wisdom!
      -[X] Additionally, if all of that isn't enough to severely reduce the Heresy, talk to Chyron and request he makes a public statement rejecting the idea of a Divine Line leading to the Lamenters having or being supposed to have any role beyond what they dedicate themselves to and the Glimmering Federation accepted them as.

    • [X] Plan: Hitting High Notes v 1.1
      -[x] [Military] Fill Out Sector Battle Group
      --[x] Sphinx (0/0.5)
      --[x] Werewolf (0/3.5)
      -[x] [Voxx Primus] Now is the time to press in on support, though make sure to keep things somewhat covert. Specifically, a few things can be done that have been done partially but not fully. First, escalate the trainers present, able to train out military grade units... even if they still have to use the carefully nerfed equipment as their core, if they're better trained, better fed, and better motivated the difference will show. Second, send in some engineers from... alternate sources who have an experience in that very special brand of amusement known as "Building Technicals." Tanks and Armored Cars and more cannot be hidden, but souping up "regular" groundcars and other vehicles to be far more impressive than they look will further strengthen the "gang." Also obviously help them expand factories, and so on, that's just obvious.
      --[x] Additionally send two things of great value. First, more food and more seeds, the better to have holy days and lure yet more into the arms of the growing movement. Second, it is time to strengthen the medical push, sending more doctors beyond borders to further improve the health of the Under-Hive, and through it help make the adherents of this new drive happier, healthier, and more powerful.
      -[X] [Glimmering Research Publishing Institutes] The Academic Initiatives are flourishing, facilitating improvements to the efficiency of research and production. But those involved all agree that there are more opportunities that lie fallow. A collection of proposals have been made to improve the research capabilities of the Glimmering Federation by establishing publishing institutes throughout the Federation that focus on streamlining the communication and dissemination of research. Specifically, too often does critical research go unreported because of the difficulty of communication or the presence of negative results, or it is missed by researchers who aren't aware of what keywords to look for. This is in addition to the difficult of repeating difficult experiments because of vague instructions. These institutes would focus on fixing these problems by creating an integrated research reporting framework and rewarding well-demonstrated negative results just as strongly as positive results. Peer reviewers would be paid for their work, and basic science will be rewarded with prestige as strongly as exciting applied research. With these institutes, the saying "A month in the lab will save you a day in the library" will become a true joke instead of a painful reminder.

      -[X] Write in- Begin the construction of Orbital Defenses around the Ultima Sagritta System. Focus should be on what can support each other and not to overextend, Planning of the Defense Stations should take into account the presence of at least one Sector Battle Group stationed in orbit around Ultima Sagritta for the foreseeable future. If there is time and room left in the budget Ground Base Anti-Orbital batteries should be built. Future expansion will focus on the further depth of the defenses and ability to base, supply, refit, repair, and service a Sector Battle Group in full at the system.
