Suessydian Exploration

The recent development of the hyperdrive for the Suessyde Confederqtion can without a doubt be declared as the most momentous and important event in the history of the Suessdyian civilization, greater perhaps even than the Unification Wars, since the destruction of the planet of Nires by the fatal asteroid impact. The hyperdrive has opened up the heavens to exploration, colonization, discover, and if aliens are found after all, to conquest. It has been too long of peace, the first time of peace that the Suessdyians can remember, in a history which has seen eternal war and conflict, and the increase in population and the feuds between the clans has begun to put pressure upon the rule of the Emperor. At last, an activity that the enterprises of the Confederation and its clans can be directed towards has materialized, to colonize the stars and to spread their life force and influence outward.

All of the clans are aware of this. They know that the future of the Suesdyians is among the stars, not cooped up here in this little system. There had been proposals previously about launching generation ships, but it had always been something which had been rejected due to the vast sucking up of resources that the wars occasioned. During the unification by the Emperor, the idea had been advanced more vigorously, but not acted upon. Now, the idea has been firmly entrenched in all of the leadership of the Confederation. The six clans and the Imperial clan stand ready to each thrust out across the galaxy, their lust for power and discovery matched only by their continued distrust of each other. 

Sihgneg III is well aware of this, and the troubling reports of increasing internal plots to the throne has forced his hand - it is impossible to keep access to space restricted to only the imperial clan, even if a disproportionate share of resources can be devoted to them, and the best potential colonization routes meted out towards the Emperor's personal clan. As a result, the Emperor has allowed all 6 clans to launch their colonization efforts on their own, controlling only their direction.

Imperial clan - north-west 
Hujaka - north-east
Pirafilo - east
Jirakirai - south-east
Verniat - south
Pokukukop - south west
Lethiran - west 

Of course; some clans are less well financed and capable of pursuing this exploration agenda than others, such as the Piraflo and the Jirakira clans, both only saved from annexation in the last war due to the terrifying cost of aiming to take down their minefields. Even more worrisome, if one was concerned about the expansion of Suessdyian civilization as a whole - which manifestly, nobody is, since all only care about their own personal interests - is the distinct lack of any willingness to share information with other clans. It is a desperate, frantic race to the stars, but one which is disjointed and entirely lacking in much in the way of grand strategy - merely an effort to attempt to find as many habitable worlds as possible for colonization as can be feasibly attempted, in a desperate fight to gain an advantage on the other clans.

Danish-Norwegian Naval Doctrine

Part of the most important element of any fleet is knowing what one actually intends to do with it. Therefor, the Danish navy has been performing a strategic review of what it intends to do in a war against any possible enemies - these being outlined as Russia, Sweden, Britain, France, and Spain. Not all of these are viewed as likely enemies, but plans are still drawn up nevertheless for how to engage them. The idea of these is not only to enable the war to be fought and prosecuted, but also to enable the Danish-Norwegian navy to have a firm grasp of its planning and expansion. [code]Denmark-Norway currently has a large and balanced fleet, as well as a very extensive merchant marine, and very important naval interests in both protecting this merchant marine and its commerce, defending Denmark, and keeping lines of communication open between the two ocean-separated parts of the Kingdom - Denmark and Norway. A variety of enemies might potentially threaten it, and plans against them are...

The Celestial Exodus

For most of the tens of thousands of years that the Suesdyians have spent in space, there has been no real problem with population density. Space has been lacking, resources few, wars have consumed both lives and treasure in flame, and the overall population, despite its potential, rarely has budged upwards - and when it has, it has most often been followed by a crash. For the first time in living memory, perhaps in all of history, the Suesdyians have been united, and have been for many decades now, under the leadership of the emperor Sihgneg IV as the current leader. This has meant that at last a relative degree of peace has been assured to the Suesdyians, and the population, freed from its previous shackles of war, conflict, and the devotion of resources to military affairs, has undergone a massive spike. This has resulted in an unprecedented phenomenon: major over-crowding on Nires, as the population has begun to fill up the usable sections of the asteroid belts that define habita...

The Lost Daughter

Selucreh clutched the hands of Suetemorp as they tensed and limp, then rigid again, cooling save for the part which he held, his claws retracted to hold the even paler skin of his gene-gifter. It felt like a part of him was vanishing, as the ancient man finally left this realm. He stayed in the dimly lit chamber until the last warmth had fled the dead body save for the spot warmed by his hand. He watched, silently, not knowing the time that passed by, until at last Sulecreh stirred, standing, stiff from the long... minutes? hours? that he had passed with the dying man. He passed out of the chamber door. An aide stood next to it, and without looking at him he ordered "Dispose of the body." "Yes sir." The door opened and closed once more with a quiet whir as the aide went through it, and Selucreh walked onward to the external bridge. Slowly his thoughts began to reassert themselves in his mind, clawing themselves back from the black pit of - it was hard to quant...
