The Hive declares War on the UNN Peacekeeping Nation!

1) Negotiation Failure

Today, the recent rumours of a possible conflict with chairman Yang’s faction have become a reality. Since the very first day since the Hive faction was encountered, a lot of citizens were preoccupied on the fast growing tension between chairman Yang and the UNN Peacekeeping faction. 

The diplomatic negotiations geared toward keeping a cease-fire between our peaceful faction and their have finally proved to be a failure. This did not seem to surprise the diplomatic delegation. They had to do the negotiations via planetary com-link communication protocol, as our government had feared they could be taken hostage by the Hive during the negotiations.

Besides, chairman Yang’s demands proved again and again to be presumptuous as he was asking for quite big sums of energy, scientific development from our databanks as well as some territory inside our border to ask the UNN to prove “its willingness and worthiness to live at peace in a world that is rightfully to property of the Hive who is the most adapted faction to rule planet” and that alone showed the unwillingness on part of chairman Yang to maintain peace between our two factions. 

2) Yang insults the ideology of the UNN Peacekeeping faction

After repeated failures to come to an agreement and the refusal of the UNN diplomatic delegation to submit to Yang’s threats, the hive formally and officially declared war on our faction and promised a “long and brutal war that will last until the corrupting UNN ‘peacekeeping’ nation stopped their non-sense as well as their democratic failure and accept the reality of life on planet”.

Yang also prided himself on the “Hive’s superior social engineering programming that will repeat the errors made on earth as the UNN is doing right now”. Of course, the UNN governments was deeply shocked to see the peacekeeping faction talked about in such a way and is firmly determined to prove chairman Yang how wrong and stupid his statements are. 

3) Revelation of the Hive’s true and evil nature by one of its own member. 

Speaking of this, the UNN Peacekeeping recently got a strong proof on how bad the social engineering programming was at the Hive as one their member defected and, after a long, dangerous and tenuous travel, finally arrived at New Apolyton and asked for Political Asylum. And as written in the constitution “Nobody will be refused the right to become a citizen”, it was granted to him. 

Though chairman Yang seems to think high about the way his society is ruled, this does not seem to be case of all their citizen as the defecting member wanted to “escape to brutal, selfish slavery with no future and go to another place where the future of citizen is taken into consideration and where I will be able to be a contributing member of a society … in the real, good way!”. 

These words alone reveal a lot of what is really happening at the hive and the mockery they are making of human rights. It even seems that they do not have the right to have identities and names as the refugee had to ask to create a full identity as he had none at the hive! 
The defector who is now know as “Aaron Blackwell” has been fully cooperative and willingly gave all the information he had from the hive, in order to help our military department to make the necessary preparation for the upcoming war. 

The CNN has been able to schedule an exclusive interview with Aaron Blackwell and should be available soon on our channels! 

4) The Military implication of the war.

Shortly after the declaration of war, a lot of citizens have shown concern about our military forces and were surprised to find that few to none of our troops are equipped with something other than handguns and standards armour protection.

The delegate of the military department responded to a few question in order to quell the fear of the citizens and to show them that the UNN faction is aware and prepared for everything that need to be done in order to have an army capable of thwarting chairman Yang’s forces. 

The military delegate declared,  “ Up so far, the only military weapons that were needed were handguns and short range flame throwers to deal with the periodic mind worms. We also developed Trance technology in order to deal with the native life forms of the planet”.

When asked if the preparation for a possible war with another faction should have been taken sooner, that same delegate answered “ Considering the big distance between us and the Hive, it will take some time before any actual conflict will occurs which will give us more than enough time for preparation. 
Beside, our scientists have made significant breakthrough in the manipulation of new energy sources that will allow us to develop new and powerful weapons for our armies.”

Our scientist have already dubbed this new weapon calling it “Gatling laser” which is a rather radical improvement over the standard laser weapon as seen in other factions as it can discharge more than twice the power, can focus fire on one target for max damage or spread fire among different ones to disrupt several enemies.

A prototype has been scheduled and its development should be quick. Also a big plan for upgrading our current troops is planned as we are told that new defensives feature have also been designed and also need to be prototyped. 

The UNN peacekeeping government has justified the fact of not having a strong army sooner by saying that “ The energy and effort spent doing this have been thought to be more useful for the development and well being of our citizens and that the governments would only switch from that policy only in case of emergencies as it is the case now with the hive and go back to focus on citizens and infrastructure development as soon as possible.”

The last concern about this war came from the University position in this conflict. Being a direct neighbour with the hive, this has generated a lot of concern between our citizens. Some feel that we should try to ally with them in order to be more able to deal with Yang. Other says that it is pure madness and would only give an excuse to Yang to attack the university, grab their cities and make the hive stronger. 

Some feel that, given the fundamental responsibility of the UNN that is maintaining peace and cohabitation between all the factions, we should intervene right now and send them troops to allow the university to defend itself. 

Finally, there are a lot of citizens that remember the how rude and hostile the university was at some as well as the fact that they seem to refuse any long term coalition with the UNN peacekeeping faction and that as such should defend themselves. 

5) Conclusion

Despite the widespread fear at the beginning, the preparation lay down by the government, the recent scientific break through and the defection and revelations of Aaron Blackwell have only strengthened the determination of our citizens and many feel ready for the upcoming conflict.
