This thread is meant to be a topped thread. This post will be updated periodically when changes in our stances with other nations occur. Please feel free to discuss the stances posted in this thread if you feel that majority opinions suggest otherwise. Also, if you feel a correction is necessary, please don't hessitate to state so.

Drones
Current Relationship: Pact of Brotherhood
Further Details: Our only current, true allies. We've formed a great relationship with them, that should last to the end. Current Planetary Governor.
Currently the Drones and us are coordinating very closely with the planned attack against the PUT (aka Uni) teratory.

CyCon - University (aka CC, CPU)
Current Relationship: Neutral, soon Vendetta
Further Details: Our enemies to the bitter end. We're currently manuvering diplomatically in order to justify a join declaration of vendetta with the Drones against the CPU. The CPU is a permanent unified faction consisting of the Cybernetic Consiousness and the Planet University of Technology.

PEACE
Current Relationship: Pact of Brotherhood
Further Details: The PEACE are at war with the CPU, and have been largely destroyed as a faction. In our recent attempts to provoke a legitimate war with the CPU, the Pirates have become our pawn, a good excuse to piss off the CPU. We're trying to save them as an independant faction, and as such they've commited themselves eternally as our 'vassal' faction, meaning they're 'pacted' with us and the Drones, but they probably won't share in our victory.

Data Angels (AI Faction)
Current Relationship: Vendetta
Further Details: Roze decided to declare Vendetta against us upon the first encounter. No intense combat has truly occured: The Angels only plan to bombard some formers, though we've got a ship to combat this threat. The only reason we would fear them is their Probe Team capabilities, though even this isn't all that big a threat.

Believers (AI Faction)
Current Relationship: Unmet, IIRC
Further Details: Few. We can assume they've a large standing army (though it's possible this 'army' consist of useless pods). She is a pact sister of Roze IIRC. That's all, really.

Last update: Mar. 5, 2004 (M.Y. 2158)

Further foreign intelligence may be found in the Covert Operations report.

Points to fix.

* Cycon are not important for our tech plans. Not important at all.
* Data angels we destroyed a probe ship of their. Starting next turn two of their laser foils will start bombarding our terraforming.

I made a prototype laser foil and rushed it by cashing a crawler in this turn. If I don't do that most of the terraforming around New Moscow would be lost.
* From what I hear, believers don't have a large military army. Due to an error with the game setup they have built many many colony pods that wander aimlessly around their continent.

A little detail to add: the PEACE pact expires at 2176. We do not have a set time limit for the CC pact. It may be desirable if we finalize a clause such as a faction should notify the other 5 years ahead if it is to change the relationship from pact to other stance.
