Union of Space Faring Nations
The Conduit transmitted the treaty to the rest of the Federation, and waited a moment for the numbers to come in. After the polling, the Conduit finally responded.
"The nations of Lakfakalle have democratically accepted this treaty. 97.4% of the population has voted in favor. The Union of Space Faring Nations has been formed." He said in a monotone voice. While the reaction was underwhelming (What with the Conduit being just that), all present could still feel the significance of the moment, knowing that a great thing had been created that day.

Nikolien System, Contact
A message was sent to the fleet from the newly restored Aif starship. An Abh woman appeared on the screen of the receiving vessel.
"This is Captain Ablïarsec Néïc Dubleuscr Bœrh Parhynr Lamhirh of the Abh Imperial Space Force operating under the Lakfakalle Cooperative Federation Exploratory Command. This vessel is the Warship Kelsof, it is fifty thousand years of age and left over from the ancient Aif Empire. It was sent to this system to assist a research project and the colony we have established here. Our homeworld is forty light years away, in what we call the Kalle System. I do not represent the majority of Federation citizens, our nation is comprised of multiple species and internal factions. We do not wish for a battle, instead we request a peaceful first contact. If you wish for a face-to-face contact, then please send a shuttle to this vessel or dock with it."

Hyphelia
The ancient starship had been outfitted with a Warp Drive system, and it has been sent to the Nikolien to assist in the research being conducted on the anomaly. It has been supplied with ammunition for it's missile launchers and antiproton streamers as well, allowing to to assist in a fight if needed.

Military Report
Five new interstellar vessels have been completed! Both are being operated by the Abh Imperial Interstellar Military, and are thus official warships. Instead of recycled patrol ships, they are completely original and have been constructed using Equestrian technology. Radiation and energy shields have been fitted in their hull, which is twice as large as a patrol ship's, and the hull itself is constructed with a mixture of tungsten and Equestrian alloys. As they are large enough, eight defense platforms have been attached to their hulls in the same manner as the modified patrol ships. These ships, too, have been sent to the Nikolien system to assist with the anomaly research.

Equestrian Meeting
The Delphan Conduit has been sent on the Starfire to Equiis, and a polling system has been set up so that the entire Federation can have a say in decisions made at the meeting, with the Conduit being, well, a Conduit.

Lakfakalle (Sazkarjhit)
"Rigel, eh? Good, that's within reasonable jump range. We have recently made new additions to our fleet as well, five warships have been built and an ancient Aif Imperial vessel has been restored and equipped with a Warp Drive. It has a lot of cargo space for a warship, but we converted those areas into hydroponic gardens. It will hopefully be able to function however we want it too, as the majority of its hull appears to be modular. Once you want our fleet out there, just send the signal and we'll come running. Provided we're not under attack or anything."

Lakfakalle, Castully
"This is Lakfakalle Foreign Relations, we're glad you decided to come and officially contact us. We have a landing pad prepared for you, you are hereby granted clearance to land."

Prussia
The United Vanjanan Empire has decided to give the official Prussian government full control over the troops sent to assist, as well as six Brigs, all ten Galleys, and one Frigate. There are no restrictions on what orders the troops may be given, aside from a ban on any attacks on Vanjana, but the only reason that was included was as a formality. Once the situation in Prussia has been solved, the troops and ships sent to assist will be put back under the control of the Vanjanan Empire.

The New World
Jade Sigfrid Halvar was embarked for the New World on a Brig, intending to solidify their stance on relations with the natives. Obviously, the UVE is planning to have good relations, as there is no other reason the Jade himself would go there.

Numburg
The Woman waited for someone to take her papers so she could finally deliver the concept to the scientists and engineers working on flight, though excited, she was trying to be patient. Of course, if her concept worked, then the military would gain a huge advantage over the rebels.

Fair enough, though as a frequent GM myself I would advise being cautious of things like that in the future. Obviously it's your call and all, and I wouldn't ever tell someone how to run their game, but there is always the risk of an original universe turning into a fanfic. I'd hate to see a pretty unique setting go down from something like that. Everything in moderation, right?

I doubt this will become fanfiction, we've survived for two years with similar stuff happening.

Also, the humans aren't actually inspired by other sci-fi humans, they just happen to resemble them. The Abh, however, would get my ass sued if I put them in a book. Which is a shame, because I really like them.

The VotS universe is completely free with species concept. The only limits in place are with power, and those are relaxed quite often. It's not like Fox is going to copy and paste his IC posts from the wiki, and the IC is kind of the entire point of this. Still accepted.

Name of nation: ChaosSpecies: multiple corrupt species, Daemons, other warp entitiesDescription of government: Anarchy and worship of the Chaos GodsDescription of military: Chaos, also known to its servants as the Primordial Truth or the Primordial Annihilator is the universal and usually malign spiritual force embodied by the malevolent intelligent entities comprised of psychic energy that live in the Warp. Chaos is the equal and opposite of Order. The entities who embody Chaos are mostly daemons, but the term also encompasses those mortals who have thrown in their lot with Chaos, ranging from simple peasants and/or labourers who serve as Chaos Cultists, to Traitor Soldiers, planetary militia, nobles, Planetary Governors, and the mighty Chaos Space Marines and Traitor Titan Legions of the Dark Mechanicus.Chaos is also itself the turbulent psychic energy that comprises the Immateriumand gives shape to the nightmare domains of the individual Chaos Gods that are collectively called the Realm of Chaos. Chaos is almost synonymous with the Warp -- the two concepts are inseparable, for Chaos is the limitless ocean of spiritual, psychic and emotional energy that defines the Immaterium and underlies the 4-dimensional material universe of space-time. It is a great and raw force of change and power, and is both physically and spiritually corrupting, though it is not in itself necessarily "evil." While its adherents and servants act in ways that are often malevolent, some devotees of Chaos are more dedicated to the service of freedom and change than of the pure selfishness that Mankind and most other intelligent species define as nefarious. However, more often than not, the Chaos Gods reward individual accomplishment in such a way that the ends justify the means, and the absence of hierarchy and emphasis on individual freedom leads to the pursuit of excess and personal aggrandisement that can only be characterised as damnation.The most evolutionarily-advanced mortals, psykers, can utilise this energy, thus making them capable of abilities which transcend the standard physical laws of the material universe as humanity understands them. However, the malevolent power of Chaos can gradually corrupt a psyker, tainting his mind and body and turning him into the slave of the Ruinous Powers. The most powerful entities of Chaos are the four great Chaos Gods, also known as the Ruinous Powers, who each embody one aspect of the greater force of Chaos and can be worshipped individually or as an entire pantheon. The iconic symbol of Chaos is the eight-pointed star, representing the infinite possibilities of Chaos. Ultimately, Chaos and its entities seek nothing less than the complete destruction of the material universe and its hated Order, so that all of Creation is once more consumed by the primordial and uncontained energies of Chaos. In general, Chaos is a malevolent spiritual force that represents the collective negative aspects of the psyches of every sentient being in the Galaxy, and in the wider universe. The Chaos Gods embody myriad and particular flaws of a vast collection of races.Chaos corrupts so easily because it speaks to the character flaws inherent in every man and woman and seeks to exploit the weaknesses of their respective natures. It takes an extraordinary individual of truly iron will and selflessness to resist the serial temptations of Chaos. It is also these inherent character flaws that produce the rampant physical and anatomical mutations of individuals exposed to Chaotic energies, as these mutations are driven by the inner flaws of the person's psyche being made manifest in their physical person as Chaos bridges the gap between the Immaterium and realspace.With all the obvious dangers associated with Chaos, such as mutation, daemonic possession, and spiritual damnation, some might wonder why anyone would willingly choose to serve the Ruinous Powers. The answer is actually simple. Chaos judges its servants solely on their abilities and their records of success and failure in promoting the agenda of the individual Chaos Gods and of Chaos Undivided as a whole. Chaos also offers those who serve it the opportunity to perhaps one day wield power and respect far beyond the dreams of most mortals' avarice. For so many people, connections and inherited wealth are rewarded rather than ability, and where it is impossible on many worlds for a talented individual to ever better their lot, Chaos actually offers a substantial degree of freedom and the only real meritocracy that they have ever known. But Chaos is not a benevolent force, and for the vast majority of those who fall to Chaos' temptations, they will never reach either power or position and will be little more than faceless puppets in the endless schemes of the Dark Gods. While Chaos may reward success with power, even the mightiest Chaotic servant becomes a slave of Chaos, never its master. Most Chaotics will fail in their quests for power, eventually ending up as possessed Daemonhosts, mindless Chaos Spawn, or simply as just another corpse in the heap, a pawn whose usefulness to the Ruinous Powers has ended.History: Chaos has existed for far longer than any surviving creatures in the Galaxy. It primarily exists within the Warp and has only just began to invade 'real' space once againOther (Culture and the like): Corruption, Destruction, Trickery, and Pleasure are the four traits that define chaos culture each are represented by a chaos God.Chaos special rules: Chaos taint affects all races on a small scale unless that race is using mind control of some kind and even they Psionic units can be possessed by Daemons. Warp space is not accessible without a warp drive. Note: A Protection field is recommended to defend against warp entity incursion but not required for warp travel.Chaos gods cannot enter combat physically but also cannot be destroyed. They can However be weakened.Many religions believe Chaos to be Hell or other such things out of misunderstanding thus if you wish to incorporate chaos into your religion feel free to.The 5th Chaos god know as Malal or Malice is the Rogue god working to destroy both Chaos and the Material world I will roleplay his existence work against myself at times.

Is the acceptation of this app even in question? I mean, there's no way this doesn't get accepted! Holy crap YES!
I would like to point out that the Lakfakalle Warp Drive isn't the one mentioned in your post, as the 40K warp drive functions more like a badly calculated Triarian jump. As I have mentioned before, the LCF's Warp Drive is the same thing as an Alcubierre Drive and thus stays entirely in real space.

Colonial Powers NRP (Reboot/New Thread)

Kwedolobhakalleny Walls, New World
The new colony had done well for itself, the landing area the crew had chosen was perfect for farming. One colonist wanted to land in a swampy area surrounded by poisonous water, but everyone else just laughed at him and thus they picked a spot with fertile soil and plenty of wild plants for food. Over the many months the colonists had built substantial walls, both for protection from wild animals and from the other colonists. Luckily, no conflict had come up and coexistence seemed to rule the bay. A while back, one of the soldiers had almost died, but he had been found by his partner and safely carried back to the colony. However, he was is bad condition, the prevailing theory was that his cuts had been infected with poison from some plant. The colonial doctors were doing their best, but aside from keeping him comfortable all they could do was pray to their respective deities and hope that the soldier's own immune system would fight off the infection.

The peace of the colony was soon to be shattered though, as a call came from the watchtower they had built.

"There's something out there!" Called out one of the guards

The man beside him, who had a telescope, called out as well.

"It's a person! The skin tone is strange, but it's definitely a person!"

Soldiers rushed to take up defense positions, their white and gold uniforms in stark contrast to the green plants and the brown wooden wall. They unsheathed their muskets and began loading them, those who had finished the loading process cautiously moved into the wilderness, searching for the strange-skinned person. After just a few minutes, a call came from just barely within the wilderness.

"We've found him! Are you sure he's human? I've never seen such dark skin before..."

The rest of the soldiers ran towards the sound, and found four soldiers paralyzed with fear pointing their muskets at the strange man.

"Definitely human, there are too many similarities." Said one of the soldiers "Think like we're all dogs, he's just a different breed." The rest of the group nodded, understanding the analogy.

"Take him to the governor, get all of our linguists on this. Figure out what he wants." Said the General assigned to the colony.

"Understood, Sir!"

Kwedolobhakalle, Governor's House
The strange man had been taken to the Governor's House, when the Governor saw him at gunpoint and wearing what he saw as torn and ragged clothes, he immediately yelled at the soldiers to put their guns down and get out. Afterwards, he had his servant prepare a gourmet meal for the man. Knowing that breaking the language barrier would be hard, he brought in linguists and, while eating his dinner, the strange man essentially engaged in a game of charades that explained the concepts of both their languages that would be needed in a contact scenario. After the exercise (which the linguists found hilarious to watch), the Governor had picked up on the man's language extremely fast, as it heavily resembled Ancient Vanjanani. It was much harder for the man to learn Modern Vanjanani, so the two agreed to communicate in the land's native language. They talked for a while, and the Governor soon learned that the native people of the continent had claimed the area as their land and wanted the colony to swear fealty to the local king.
"Well, good sir." said the Governor in the native 's language "I do not have the authority to do that for all of my people, as most of us live in a completely different land than this one that you call the Motherland. Our leader is there right now, and only he could swear fealty to your people. I shall have him informed as quickly as possible. As your definition of fealty appears to be consistent with ours, a mutual pact of protection with some benefits going from the vassal to the lord, I believe he could very well accept. Though we could pay the compensation, he has given us explicit orders to form the best possible relationship with any nations we find here, and weaseling out of fealty wouldn't accomplish that goal at all. I will make sure he personally comes to deliver the message to this 'King Baba-Uti'."
The Governor was just about to order his servant to clean up the meal (Which the messenger seemed to enjoy) when he remembered the infected soldier.
"Oh yes, one of our warriors was mauled by an orange feline with black dots. Our people said he would be fit for duty in a few months with the correct treatment, but he has fallen ill with a sickness we have never encountered. It is only logical that it is native to this land, as such, we would be very grateful if one of your healers could take a look at him."

Prussian Request
Jade Sigfrid Halvar has ordered the army to march on the Prussian rebels and assist the new government's army wherever they can. 6,000 recruits and 5,000 regulars have been sent, interestingly enough, they seem to be focusing mainly on rebels in former Numburg.

Former Numburg, LexBurg
A woman walked into the capital building, she was wearing Vanjanan formal dress, which would look incredibly out of place on a woman in a Germanic nation. She was wearing a military uniform, a single four-pointed star on her as identified her as a Colonel, and the division insignia identified her as a Siege Engineer. She walked up to Lord Markus Finch, while the government had changed, she was still pretty sure he was who to report to in regards to the project.
"My Lord, I have come here to assist with the flight project. I am Colonel Ukundiza Kjerstin of the United Vanjanan Empire, I have a letter of mark and recommendation from Jade Sigfrid Halvar, and letters of Mark from the majority of the Representative House. I have been trained in physics, engineering, and mathematics, and may have come up with something for the project. None of my peers in Vanjana found a flaw with the concept, so I have come here to present my idea to the minds working on achieving flight."

The New Order(Post WW3 RP)

KTCI Headquarters, Gateway
Crumpled newspapers covered the room's floor, blobs of once-melted plastic having long since cooled and hardened into their asymmetric shapes making their home's on those crumpled newspapers. 3D printers from all years since their invention were set haphazardly on top of old desks, with only the most recent ones being placed in any reasonable way. Outdated computer parts sat in a huge pile, with no apparent purpose. There was an actual working computer in the room as well, but it was obviously patched together from hardware connected in ways that made it clear that the parts had been specially designed. Its monitor displayed a default screensaver from the 2010's, despite the hardware being recently constructed. Aside from the transparent box that displayed the actual computing part of the computer, it was extremely generic. A utilitarian mechanical keyboard and a ten dollar wireless mouse were all the computer had for interaction.

In contrast to the chaos of the room, there were many objects that had obviously been taken care of. Framed papers on the wall, newspaper articles, pictures, a college degree, even a few random printed quarterly reports. Supporting the monitor on the computer desk were two books, one of them was simply titled "Science", and the other was an extremely torn up book titled "Flight". Flipping to the last page of the latter, one would find a paragraph answering the question "Is it possible for a human to go into space?" from the perspective of someone who just witnessed the start of the space race. A meteorite fragment sat to the left of the keyboard, next to a coffee mug holding a ridiculous number of pens. The click-clack of a newton's cradle could be heard, its motion being periodically restarted by a hammer connected to a simple hydraulic system. As one might expect in such a room, there was a roll of duct tape sitting on the desk as well. Judging by the fact that there was a headset which had a cord covered in the stuff, it was used quite often.

Fergus McClain walked into the room, flicking the light switch upwards, illuminating the room with a dull glow. Beside him was Emily Natālija, whom was somewhat confused with just why the room looked as if it had been bombarded.

"I thought that-" She began, but she was cut off quickly by Fergus.

"It is the control room." He said.

"Fergus, you own an international mega-corporation." Said Emily "Surely you could actually hire a manager who isn't you. And considering the fact that you have a dozen facilities for it, I'm pretty sure you have the money."

"This will never work. It just creates jobs." He responded.

"Okay then. So why are you personally overseeing the whole thing?"

There was a long silence between the two, and then Fergus finally responded.

"Because I'm bound to get a response sometime." He said, sitting down at the computer and waving the mouse wildly, displaying a series of highly technical graphs that he didn't actually understand.

"Fergus, I'm telling you, nobody's going to respond. Nobody's there to respond."

"Oh, someone's there. There might not be that many, but I've got math on my side here. Something's out there, it's simple logic. The only question is whether or not they respond."

Emily decided not to keep pushing, Fergus was odd, but she had kept pushing before and she didn't want to see him like that again.

"Whatever, I guess I can wish you good luck."

"Who needs good luck when you've got probability on your side? Save the good luck for the day I leave Earth's sphere of influence. Ah! That reminds me, I should call Mr. Wilson!"

Emily giggled at the comment.

"All the interactions between you and a dictator I ever imagined involved a weapon and a dead dictator, and now you're planning to ask one for fusion bombs."

"I never thought that there would be a benevolent dictator, I guess war brings out the best in some people and the worst in others. I mean, he brought socialism to the USA! And people accepted it! The guy's a wizard!"

The New Order(Post WW3 RP)

There was never any nuclear exchange because a nuclear exchange with all of today's arsenal would physically destroy the planet. This is not a post-apocalyptic scenario. Corporations are still there, North America has unified, lasers and railguns are a thing, and society is pretty much just as strong. Once people realize that Wales wants to kill all the English, they'll be stomped on easily by thousands of bombers, battleships, and tanks. And those battleships will be using railguns, you know, those things that go as fast as Apollo 11 on reentry. Although, that would be hilarious to watch.
"Sir, the Welsh seem to be on a genocidal rampage."
"Bleh, just bomb' em back to the Dark Ages... OH WAIT!"
And then the attack would be delayed because everyone would be laughing at how stupid the Welsh are. I feel like throwing them back a thousand years isn't the best way to make the point that the Welsh shouldn't be the laughingstock of the world.
