[//CONNECTING...] [//CONNECTION ONLINE] [//WELCOME TO THE ATLAS NETWORK] [//CONNECTING TO SUBNETWORK...] Following a period of relative quiet after past tensions and open conflict, the Forlorn Legion and the Atlas Empire have entered a mutual defensive pact to ensure the safety and sovereignty of both nations. The Atlas Empire and the Viceroyal Council are prepared to forgive past grievances and move forward in these troubling times. Viceroy Xexanoth of Lapetus, who personally oversaw the dealings, described the Forlorn as an 'honorable warrior culture' who had been misjudged, and asserted that past conflict had been due to culture shock and a language barrier. "I believe Lord Commander Pallid and I will be able to build both of our peoples to new heights with this expression of friendship." -Viceroy Xexanoth Viceroy Xexanoth and Lord Commander Pallid, Qhuagan-12LM, 2-18-3288 - Other News - News from the GRMS indicates the war is approaching its conclusion. The conflict has been described as a heavily uneven, with Atlas Armed Forces and the Imperial Navy obliterating the army and navy of the GRMS with superior numbers, firepower, and tactics. For those who have loved ones fighting, they may sleep more soundly with hopes that they may be home soon. Political commentators on Olympus continue to question why the GRMS decided to 'poke the bear' by organizing a terrorist cell to antagonize both Atlas and Haven. The popular prevailing theory is that General Ulr, the demagogue dictator who assumed complete control after declaring war, was orchestrating conflict to create an excuse to consolidate power in an otherwise unstable government teetering on collapse, but failed to consider that either Atlas or Haven on their own would be more than enough to destroy his military. Stùiricke continues to struggle to find a foothold in the markets of Atlas territories, despite initial outreach. The population of Olympus have simply not bought in to the Havenite's fashion sense and advertising methods. However, a small niche of the very wealthy on Olympus and the 'bureaucrat class' on Calypso have a growing interest in the products. For Our Prosperity.
