Wow, the X-Files actually revealed something to viewers. It must be a miracle.
Once again we're the only ones in here. Good to see Kassiopeia posting again, though.

So it would seem. Want to work on some Drone/Protectorate Dialogue?

Certainly, and not just because it would be good to actually talk about Beyond Alpha Centauri for a change.
So, what sort of dialogue are we thinking about here? Economic? I read your stuff about CHOAM and it sounds pretty exciting.

Well, as we've already opened up trade, I'd say we can talk about economic talks. That is, The Drone guv'ment hear;s about CHOAM and MI joining the Trade Block, and wants to get in on the action.
The Drones are also noticing the Protectorate has taken a more active hand in intersteller relations, and they may want to find out more about the Protectorate themselves.

Sure thing. Feel free to have Lord Protector Ian meet with you. (Or if not him, Foreign Minister Odysseus Grant). Make sure you explain why you're visiting.
But, make sure you leave me roo to manuever for my post.

Hey! Don't make me flick the lights on and off!
On a serious note, what does the Protectorate military use as its training scenario? For instance, the Egyptian army practices in the Sinai under the hypothetical situation of invading Israel. The U.S. navy stages mock Atlantic battles with Britain. How did the Protectorate practice during its long period of isolation?

The Starfleet practices mostly defensive tactics, although everyyear there is a "REFORGER" combined war game with the Dosi where the Protectorate will try to "Invade" a Dosi Colony.
The bulk of the Star Marines are used to garrision planets, and defend them in case of invasion. There are many hundreds of thousands of specially trained "agents" whose goal is to form the nucleaus of a resistance force should the Protectorate fall.
Rangers mostly practice with evasion and escape tactics. They spy, not fight, although hand-to-hand, they are the best fighters in the Protectorate.

For the Drones, the main threat is the Bree. So they hold Space Marine war games out near the fringe, where all the desolate planets are. About half of them pretend to be the Bree, and the other half try and defend.
For international stuff, the main partner is the Spartans, so the Spartans would stage a mock invasion of a planet, and the planetary garrisons would try and respond.

Right, right...
The Protectorate's percieved "enemies" are actually Progenitors and Hferhin, with the GHE and UCS following, then Spartans, then miscellaneous.

Hmm. Did you read some article a while ago about how Burma was desperately trying to get surface-to-air missiles after the Kosovo affair because they were afraid they were gonna get bombed by NATO or something because of their human rights violations, and everyone in NATO was all like, "Burma? What's a Burma?"

Oh, I'm really happy for them.
Now, what shall I do next? I've already been on here for the better part of two hours. So much for this afternoon. If this was the Apolyton/Community forum, I'd have been banned three times over by now. Maybe I should go and actually get some exercise.
Now I'm talking to myself, in my own post. Definitely a sign of spending too much time on Apolyton. BYE!

Sprayber is going to kill us when he sees the condition we've left this thread in.
Ah yes, the story. Well, Prime Minister Michael Hsiang of Firaxis is preparing for the conference, but his political opponents aren't terribly enthused about the whole idea.
