Neo Zion (UGH116): red supergiant star with 12 planets

Ten thousand years ago, when the galaxy was less than one tenth its present size.....

Well thats a bad start... Pretentious too, but then again in our own way we all were pretentious. I maybe more than most.

I was the least of them, the poorest scribe, but somehow it's always me who comes back.

I look at the spines of all the books in the archives, and I think how important they seemed then.

Mere words now, second hand ideas, on my part at least but at least we dreamed.

Hours of scratching away on sticky keyboards in dimly lit rooms, and for what? A few names on stars, a half forgotten history?

Four or five blind men struggling to describe an elephant from its individual parts. Cross purposes and cross wires.

Not much time for dreaming since. Its seems the ground is my destination. I circle this star, in a half burnt-out one man pod.

What did we hope to build? What did we try to say?

Are you out there somewhere still; building, recording, writing?

The things we dreamt of then, the empires and the alliances, the wars and the massacres.

Teenage dreams of blood and sweat.

Ideals lost and ideals gained.

I'm signing off now, I doubt that that anyone will read this message in a bottle, this signal from a nearly burnt out star, but somehow it doesnt matter.

I still remember, and some nights I still dream.











HISTORICAL MESSAGES: PRESERVED FOR POSTERITY.

---Final Battle for Zion---

During the Zionite Civil war CZS fleets closed from all sides. The Zionite fleets took up defensive positions arounnd the main planets. Even so the CZS numbers were too great Equality was sky-bombed with 86% casuaites. A huge battle around the huge defense bases Alpha and Beta layed waste to several CZS fleets. After 8 hours of fighting. The nihilus cannon was destroyed and the Alpha base's huge missile silos were destroyed. Alpha was so heabvily bombareded the whole planets crust was burned away. The CZS had encirled Zion. The final stand was about to begin.

At the lasty moment 2 Ale-Turan fleets attacked destroying the CZS.



The Zionites then signed the following treaty:


1. All Zionite ships will stand down immediately.

2. From this point on, the Zionite navy will not exceed 35 thousand ships, with no more that 1 thousand KRAKEN Cruisers.

3. The CZP and Zionite Imperial Government will be disbanded as of now. Any attempt to resurrect it must be met with lethal force.

4. No political party following the principles of communism will be allowed to be formed, or to continue to exist if already formed.

5. From this point on, the Zionite government will be run according to the principles of capitalism.

6. The Zionite parliament will be reinstated, and have full power over the empire, subject to a constitution.

7. The monarchy will remain in place, but the Emperor will be a figurehead, with no powers.

8. All senior members of the CZP and Zionite Imperial governments will be put to death, with the exception of Emperor Garridus, who will continue as the figurehead Emperor.

9. Fair and free elections will be held to determine the membership of the parliament.

10. The Zionite colonies will return to the control of Zion immediately. Each colony will, however, be allowed a certain degree of independence from the central government.
