Re: Septhi Royal Exploration Corps SREC

[Mthis]

The Queen moves to sit herself "Indeed so, but as i do not know too much of your people, an agreement of Non-Aggresion should be a first priority a sign of freindship through the sharing of knowledge of the Cosmos around us"

[Caspoi]

"This seems well. A proposal of my own: that you are to allow the Khendros to come here with our ideology and to teach people said ideology."

[Mthis]

"What would said ideology entail? But people are free to pick how they view the world politically."

[Caspoi]

"It is the one which founded the Khendros, an ideology that values the efficiency of the society above all else, one which gives purpose to the individual so that they may serve a greater good."

[Mthis]

"If you wish to try and spread i shall not stop you. However our explorers and priests would want access to your space then to find more of the threads the Gods left when creating the cosmos to decipher them"

[Caspoi]

"You want unrestricted access to our space? I am not certain that we can grant you such. You must understand surely that there are state secrets that we do not want to be well known. We could grant you access to certain regions that you may analyse however, if that is enough. We could also grant one another our knowledge over our respective region of space as part of our treaty."

[Mthis]

"It is merely the priesthood who would want access, understanding the universe and the threads that bind it all togheter is important to them since we began to explore th cosmos. We can respect that, we would also extend our hand that any of your people wish to know of the Gods, they can freely come to the Priesthood regarding it, the more we are togheter, the more we can understand the threads laid out for us."

[Caspoi]

"I am certain that our scientists would be grateful for the oppurtunity to know the worldview of different a people. Moreover perhaps a trade agreement between our peoples could be arranged."

[Mthis]

"Trading would only seem natural, individual companies would be eager to trade with your people im sure for resources and exotic goods. We can agree to somthing like that."

[Caspoi]

"Then do you have any other proposals for the treaty because my last one is an agreement of mutual protection against the dangers of this galaxy but your governor implied that you were not currently willing to commit to one."

[Mthis]

"We did not expect there to be large conflicts in the Cosmos, the Royal Navy is not prepared for anything of the sort as weve not fought a war for 300 years. Thus the Royal Armed forces would have to adapt to the concept that theres other species that might be hostile and formulate measures of operation, which can and will take time."

[Caspoi]

"In that case we could offer you our protection in exchange for your own contribution to our military. the military technology and tactics of the Khendros could be of great use to you and in exchange you have the people and the industry to make it take on a wider scale.

[Mthis]

"What would all that entail? It would appear as a reduction in the State sovereignity, the people would more than likely not aprove of such."

[Caspoi]

"It would be a unified military project where we both contribute to a common military institution that can protect us from threats to our realms and our species.

[Mthis]

"That dosn't specify what it would entail, The Royal Army and Navy are still traditional positions that some look up to for prestige."

[Caspoi]

"But that is the problem, they would need to be modernised and not simply be a cosy and well paid psition where you effectively do nothing. We could help you in that and in exchange your armies and navies could help us in case we get attacked. You would provide the manpower and resources for this and we would provide the tactics and technology and together we would get a unified military that would be powerful enough to repel most of what could threaten our two realms. It would be a win-win scenario for both of us."

[Mthis]

"How would the hierachy and military-structure of such a unified institution be? How would it work?"

[Caspoi]

People would be recruited as soldiers and crewmen and depending on their qualififications as a leader they would be promoted to commanders of their comrades whose task is to keep the group unity up and be able to give quick and sensible orders, even during extreme duress. Said commanders would then have people above them, generals and admirals who were promoted from the standard commanders based on their capabilities for long term strategic planning and logistics. In a cooperated military most ships or divisions would probably be all Axtromd or all Septhi due to the language barrier even if not insurmountable would give too much effort and delay to be effective in a combat scenario."

[Mthis]

"I am surprised your so open to offering us this, it would be appreciated. Who would be the commander in chief of this institution?"

[Caspoi]

"Most likely Admiral Junomd. He is currently our first and only admiral (until we encountered intelligent aliens the position had been vacant as no rank higher than commander had been needed) and no general has been appointed. The idea is to incorporate the Septhi armed forces within the existing and modernized military structure of the Khendros rather than their current and far more archaic one."

[Mthis]

"This is not somthing that can be done fast, reorganizing entire military structures is no easy task. But we can see merit in it"

[Caspoi]

"We could make a long term project out of it, for now it may simply take the form of a military alliance."

[Mthis]

"That would sound like the wisest move for now, so far the treaty seems agreeable for us. Im sure the Gods will look well upon this."

[Caspoi]

"In that case is there anything else you wish to add or will we now consider it complete?"

[Mthis]

"I would think it satisfactory to us, i will present it to my Government when i return to the Capital to formulate it publicly"

[Caspoi]

"And I will inform my people of my mission's success. This treaty looks to be all that one could hope for."

[Mthis]

"I agree" The Queen rises up. As she nods to Rahomd. "I shall enjoy this Palace then before takking my leave tommorow, its good we could get this done."

[Caspoi]

[This should be it then. I should tell you how the Khendros operate when they want to spread their ideology now that you will get people who do. They send ones with experience in spreading propaganda together with technicians. Those handling the propaganda, a.k.a actually spreading the ideology, try to spread it to as many people as possible, mainly the poor as they are the ones most likely to benefit from the more meritocratic system of the Khendros. When enough people have "converted" they set up their own communities modeled after the ideology. Starting funds from Khemenos allow them to buy or build factories inside the area of the community where people can work and be taught about how the ideology works and be "taught" to appreciate it. The strong work ethic and pragmatism of the ideology as well as technology from back home or manufactured there (here is where the technician comes in) should make this community very thriving with great income to expand it's industry and a show for their success and by extension the success of the ideology. Hopefully this means that more people will join them, allowing the community to expand alongside it's industry. If the community is successful it may start with other things inside of it, such as proper schools of education for the young, again modeled after those on Khemenos and again with an ever so slight dose of propaganda. If all goes well the community has at this point become a city within a city and with a reputation of being a place where people who join becoming more wealthy. A lot of people should then want to join the community and by extension the ideology and the Khendros and with a good income the community may even pay back the starting funds from Khemenos.]

[Mthis]

(The issue is there is no real lower-class of people in the Septhi's system. And those they might get will shock the Khendros, as they will start to take thei religious practises to a much higher level, and start to venerate the Queen as a God as well. Which will more than likely shock the Khendros)

[Caspoi]

[Compared to the nobility there must be some people who are poorer, mayby not in the "live on the street level" but still enough to think that their lot in life could be better, no? The religion is an interesting issue as the Khendros have not truly encountered it before (the Cirnii were religious but that was more of a general veneration of the emperors, nothing so intangible) but their current policy until they have verified if there is any truth to the matter is to ignore the issue and let people keep their religion. They might discourage it to those who become the "inner party members" of the community but they won't have this be a part of their PR campaign, if nothing else because they still want to have a good standing with the authorities. Ultimately however it is your people and you decide how receptive they would be to the idea.]
