The recent military coup by Omni-Tek in Borealis has given rise to a lot of questions for Neutrals. Questions about how we should be treated by others, what we stand for as Neutrals, if fighting back invalidates our neutrality, and what we can do about the situation at hand. For now some are content to simply protest in the face of superior force of arms, or make brave (if not short lived) attempts to fight back. This situation requires a more proactive response though, a response that will carry us into the future, preserving our strengths as Neutrals and safeguarding our way of life in the face of this adversity.
The true strength of neutrality is the meshing of our widely diverse sets of ideas and our ironclad sense of community. This gives us the knowledge that even though we may fail alone, that we can call upon the help of not just our friends and organizations, but our community at large. Through our joining of arms, Neutrals can move mountains despite differences in breed, status, opinion, and background when we are called on to do so. In fact these difference work to further strengthen us as a community, because where one view, idea, mindset, or breed may fail; another one will be there to rise up and help shoulder the burden with an expression of their unique strengths.
The events in Borealis have put our future into question though as Omni-Tek has seen fit to destroy the major center of free exchange on the face of the planet. Access to Jobe, the Grid, the Whompah Network, as well as the high suppression made Borealis the perfect place for the free exchange of goods, services, and ideas for all; including the employees of Omni-Tek. The actions of the Unicorns and OT-AF have flown in the face of that global benefit though, and put it to question how the major powers of Rubi-Ka view Neutrals: As allies who provide valuable services or as simply stepping stones to the ravenous pursuit of power.
We must respond to this, but the head on and spastic rush of mortal combat will only escalate the conflict. Violence can only lead to more violence till one or the other is destroyed. We cannot stand by though as Omni-Tek claims our home as its own, because our home provides us with the resources we need to live, and their claim to that is essentially a claim to take away our life and lively hood. So we must respond. A response that is well thought out, organized, and deftly executed.
To this end I am forming a coalition of Neutral Organizations and their allies to be called The Neutral Defense Initiative. The ultimate purpose of this coalition will be to provide the resources, means, and organization that is needed to maintain the Neutral way of life on Rubi-Ka without sacrificing those things that brought us to be Neutrals. The objectives of this coalition will be as follows:
- The restoration of Borealis as a fully Neutral city and a bastion of free trade through primarily diplomatic means.
- The formation of highly skilled and well outfitted militias for each Neutral aligned city to defend against military incursion by human breed or alien.
- The advancement of technologies and means that will better facilitate the security of Neutral peoples, cities, lands, and resources.
If you or your organization is interested in joining the effort to save our future, please talk to your organization leaders and have them contact me via personal message or grid mail at Berael@Wolf-Brigade.Org.
