Special Luap News Edition

YGRINI ATTACKS!

The follow report was issued today from Military Command :

* Three Luap DD's returning from escort duty stopped over at Puma to avoid a small cosmic storm. Upon arrival, a armed Ygrini Orbital Fort fired torpedoes at them. The Luap DD's received substantial damage and lost many of its crewmembers. The Luap DD commanders were able to recover from this surprise attack and return fire, destroying this rogue Ygrini colony. However, a single rogue colony was not the case. We soon got reports of a Ygrini DD attacking a Luap unarmed scout at Norm. The scout was able to outrun the DD and escaped without harm. This second attack confirmed our deepest fears. The Ygrini, our one time friend and mutual protection partner has turned against us.

No word on a Diplomatic solution to this crisis. But as of today, The Luap War Machine rolls into action against the sinister Ygrini .

To me it doesn't matter who started the war.
I don't trust AR races and if they were my next door neighbour I would have attacked them myself.
This is my third Stars multiplayer game.
The only race I've ever attacked is AR and I can proudly say that as of now they're almost totally wiped out. Laughing

Passy could well have been a wonderful, fabulous, trustworthy player and a worthy ally but I didn't have any dealings with that race so I wouldn't know and for that matter I wouldn't care to know. Very Happy

Regards - Steve

Luap News Report :

Luap close on Ygrini HomeWorld!

As Luap fleets closed on Ygrini HomeWorld, a surprise counter offensive from Ygrini was sent against newly colonized Luap planets. At least 2000 Luap civilians were killed during a Ygrini bombing run. Luap commanders were caught completely off guard and are scrambling to deploy new fleets to protect their rear areas from similar attacks.

Military commanders also announced the presence of many races scout reporters inside engagement zone. A reminder that all non-Luap vessels in area are susceptible to friendly fire and are their at own risk.

Backpage :

Nexus and Hirota sign cease fire!

It appears the border disputes between Hirota and Nexus have been resolved and borders agreed upon.

Luap Special News Addition:

Ygrini Routed at Homeworld!

From Luap Military Command :

Luap Fleets have crushed the last organized Ygrini stronghold. Death tolls estimated just under 200k for the Ygrini.
Luap command reports the loss of six warships and crews in the final invasion. Including highly decorated Luap Commander Flak Fodder.
Small groups of Ygrini holdouts still plague the battlefield. And it may be years before all Ygrini can be eradicated from the universe.

From Luap Command:

Regarding the claims of Weaderulium planets:

The Luap are confused about why so many races, once again, assume that our military victories should be divided up evenly. Neighboring races now have started negotiating for our spoils? Some have gone so far as to threaten us with War?

The Luap are not just joining the grab for planets. In fact it is very likely that the Luap military campaign is the reason the Weaderulium government has fled. And now we see our military victories being stolen away by overzealous usurpers.

After the negotiations with the Weaderulium over the distribution Ygrini worlds were completed, the Weaderulium tried to colonize a planet not agreed upon. Luckily our Colonials arrived in time to prevent it. Many years of attempted contacts, and repeated warnings of the consequences, our military was forced into action against the Weaderulium.

In 2452 (prior to the disappearance of Wead leadership) the Luap delivered a devastating initial blow against the double crossing Weaderulium, our forces moved in to colonize and eradicate the remains.

It will be easy for other races to move in and take worlds (already removed of their star bases and ship defenses) close to their borders, in some instances what may be considered inside their borders. The Luap expected such tactics, and will not challenge this type of colonization. However, planet jumping deep into Weaderulium territory in order to make huge territory claims will not be tolerated.

We hope that all races will take into consideration the resources spent by the Luap to rid us of the Weaderulium, and make only reasonable requests for colonization.

The Luap

Umm military victory ????

If you won a couple of battles against Weader well good for you.
It has not been ascertained though, that Weader left the game due to your overwhelming military superiority.
All we know is that he appears to have left and didn't give a reason.

The Luap's said:
"We hope that all races will take into consideration the resources spent by the Luap to rid us of the Weaderulium, and make only reasonable requests for colonization."

I'm sure we'd all be happy for the Luap's to join in the negotiations for planets, but making requests for planets via the Luap high command is not something that the Cheekybuggers will be doing.

So far there has been an expresion of interest in Weader planets from all races except the Yap yaps. So if the Luap's are prepared to negotiate on that basis, then please feel free to join in.

Regards - Steve

IS IT WAR?

After CheekyBugger BB’s uncloaked and attack an advance naval recon fleet at Dharma, Luap officials debate War.

Facts being considered by Luap authorities:

1. Luap had made offers of compensation to the CheekyBuggers for previous trade agreements.
2. CheekyBuggers were also informed that Luap fleets inside Wead territory would not target CheekyBugger vessels unless CheekyBugger attacked first.
3. The CheekyBuggers continue to publicly slander the Luap.

Quote: "Cheekybuggers also note that the Luap's want only the best Weader planets. Apparently the rest of us can have the spoils (as long as you get Luap approval)."

4. As most intelligent races would agree, colonization plans typically involve selecting those planets found with a highly agreeable habitation value. The fact that CheekyBugger habitation values are similar to the Luaps, would be why it appears that we want all the same planets."All the more reason to give notice of intentions and negotiate for those planets with similar interests."
5. CheekyBugger use of cloaked tactics to surprise Laup forces and attack a fleet with orders not to engage in combat.
6. The attack on Luap scouts inside CheekyBugger territory was expected, and Luap had informed CheekyBuggers that no War declaration would come about from the removal of Luap vessels inside their territory.


From General Flak Fodder, Luap Military Command:

Luap war fleets have repelled the initial CheekyBugger attack fleet, finding them initiating a planet invasion at Weed. A single BB was also found roaming near Redmond and was removed by Luap forces.
While this was an emotional victory for our armed forces, we must remind our citizens that this could be just the beginning of what looks to be a long drawn out affair.
Militias are being activated and planetary defense systems have been put on high alert.
The Cloaked tactics of the CheekyBuggers will make suicide attacks likely.
However, rest assured that the Luap military will eradicate the CheekyBugger menace if such action is approved.


Family members of the killed crewman have demanded military action. Mr. and Mrs. Killme, parents of the killed crewman Don T. Killme are scheduled to speak in front of the assembly today.
Chants of "We are the Luap, the mighty mighty Luap" and "Hey hey, Ho ho, the CheekyBuggers must go," were heard at a recent War rally near the capitol.

How long can we live in fear of a race that resorts to sneaky terrorist attacks to get our attention? Can our diplomats prevent this War? What will War do to the Luaps current economic boom?
Stay tuned for these answers and more.......................

Cease Fire!

The Luap News agency is back on-line!

After a major political transformation, the Luap Assembly has negotiated cease fire terms with the CheekyBuggers. Peace agreements are now being discussed.

Making use of the ancient duel process, Senators N.O. Spine and Ido Abuse have established themselves as the new leaders of the Assembly's parties. It is still to be seen if these two leaders will work together or perhaps try to eliminate each other and return the Luap to a single party rulership.

Since the lifting of curfews and reopening of media services
a subdued Luap people have uneasily gone back about their everyday lives.
Soldiers still patrol the streets, and no public sign of political support for either party is present. Most Luapians are reluctant to show support of a political party for fear the other party will rise to power.

But not all is so grim. Even as the CheekyBugger and Luap officials negotiated peace. The commercial and retail officers of both races have reopened consumer trade. The newest releases from CheekyBugger musicians and movie makers have hit the shelves already. Including the long awaited sequel in the Hidden Herry Potter series.

COUP D'ÉTAT !

Senator Ido Abuse and his military faction overthrow Intelligent faction.

During a heated Luap assembly meeting, military troops seized the Capital and assassinated Intelligent party leader N.O. Spine. Military faction leader Ido Abuse quickly declared himself absolute controller of all Luapian forces.

Statement from Ido Abuse:

Nexus :
It is high time the Luaps ended this ridiculous border conflict with the Nexus. The unorganized attacks on worthless Nexus planets must be stopped immediately. General Flak Fodder has been removed as military director and from now on all fleet commands will come directly from me and my advisor team.
The Nexus offensive will be a more focused campaign. This race has threatened the Luaps long enough. There use of WMDs (packet attacks) on Luap worlds will not be forgotten. Those crewmen of the lost Luap vessels will be avenged.

YapYap:
It has become evident that the YapYaps who once declared themselves allied against the Nexus and were provided vital information about Luap military plans were acting as double agents for the Nexus. It has come to our attention that this information was delivered to Nexus and had prompted a preemptive strike plan by the Nexus. After declaring themselves allied with the Hirota and committing to help defend them in a organized attack on Nexus, the YapYaps quickly jumped sides to the apparent stronger neighbor and double crossed both the Luap and Hirota.
As of this date the NAP between the YapYaps and Luap will be terminated according to the agreed timeline. No War declaration is made. It is hoped that the YapYaps will see that there decision was made hastily, and they can be freed from the Nexus influence. The exchange of military technology between YapYap and Nexus has not gone unnoticed and a Luap herald is in route to discuss this with YapYaps.

CheekyBugger:
The Luap have maintained the peace with the CheekyBuggers. It is hoped a friendly relation can continue between our races. The entertainment exchange between our races is vital to the Luap citizens mental health.

Altoid:
The longtime friends of the Luaps continue to live in peace and share our universe. Their reluctance to take a side in the Nexus affair is disappointing but understandable. The continued decrease use of their resources will not affect the Luap military commitments. But we are hoping negotiations for continued use of their resources for civilians will be accepted.

Weaderulium:
It has been recently announced that the Wead leader has surfaced again. Luap investigation officials are analyzing the transmissions received to authenticate that the voice heard is actually that of MG. And since no details of previous events have been indicated in these transmissions, it is very likely that these were prerecorded prior to the Weaderulium demise.


In other news:

It is feared that the newest and unreleased Hidden Herry Potter novel has been stolen. An unbound copy of the novel was found near a Germanium mine. CheekyBugger publishers have not confirmed the missing copy, but many fans hope this may up the release date to prevent pirate copies from swamping the intranet.

Oops Embarassed *TheJorrus looks around the room sheepishly*

But we must protest ... When we had those conversations i was not allied to anyone (after Hirotia-Gate) even you that info must have slipped out unnoticed by the yapyap information minister *name withheld*, he shall be forced to watch teletubbies movies for a week!

The untrustworthy Steve of the CheekyBugger caught lying again!

The Luap declare the CheekyBugger race to be fraudulent, decieving and falsehearted.

The discraceful and loathsome CheekyBugger leader has continued to lie about his intentions and his code of honor. Even after the Luap revealed his untruths, he continues to claim that they want no War and are not allied with Nexus.

The Luap will no longer be victems to his shameful dishonesty and backstabbing.

The Luap will no longer accept communications with the CheekyBuggers, as it is all falsehoods and trickery.

We would warn all allies and potential allies of them to not let your gaurd down, as they will say anything and mean nothing.

Luap

Cheekybuggers are deeply offended by these racist slurs. Crying or Very Sad

After all we've done for you and this is the thanks we get. Shocked

Untrustworthy, deceitful, fraudulent, falsehearted, disgraceful, loathsome; these are terrible things to say. Luap's the universe over should be ashamed of themselves. Mad

Cheekybuggers shall take this matter to the highest court in the galaxy to prove our innocence and shall demand compensation for such outlandish claims. Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Dragons, minotours, vampires and other such beasts shall be beamed to your planets to ravage your evil citizens. Evil or Very Mad

Cheekybuggers would also like to make an announcement:
We encourage insurgency on all Luap worlds and if your peoples should win the civil war then we welcome, one by one, each Luap planet to join the Cheekybugger empire.
Please note though, plastic surgery for your ex citizens is mandatory. We cannot stomach those wierd looking bumps on your head ! Laughing Laughing Laughing

Regards - Steve
High Chancellor of the Cheekybugger empire
