 		THX bigtime, Korinthian. Your list on the previous page is very complete. Have only been trying to calculate some years & this tiny timeline is all I've got:
Quote:
Richard Kai said Oceanus was colonized in 2215. The Koatoa website originally said it has been colonized for 61 years. So it is 2276 (Coupon expires 8/20/2277). It's been 16 years since the revolution Akamu Hale mentioned had failed. Therefore, that revolution was in 2260.

Nice! I threw that into my first post for newcomers, too.

 		Sorry for double post, but I just got a new e-mail.

It's from jobsSPLAThorizonindustries.org - holy crapola, first contact from Horizon.

And the mention of a new planet!... And a job offer? More like a military recruitment.

EDIT: Um.. I might try calling that number. We'll see what happens.

From 1st Post wrote:

- The Union seems to contain 13 total planets (we think, in relation to the 13 founding Colonies.)
- The planets we know of so far:
- Oceanus
- Valkyrie
- Centauri
- Earth may or may not be part of this Union of planets, as our currency does not reflect theirs; however, Richard Kai was confused when someone asked to pay in something other than credits. However, there also seems to be some political strife present, which may or may not be the result of our absence from the Union, as is reflected in the statement below.


I think Kai talked about "the other 11 planets" in the Union at some point, which only makes sense if both Oceanus and Earth are in the Union.

Edit: I guess he said the other 11 members, not planets.

Quote:
- The above statement is made more apparent by the fact that Kai stated "we are unable" to visit Oceanus, and he, Earth. Terms between our planets are apparently not the best.


I get the feeling it's not so much us not being able to visit Oceanus in particular as us not being allowed to leave Earth at all.

Quote:
- Mr. Hale said, "I refuse to utilize the technology or resources of Horizon in a way that deepens their pockets. This company is my platform to make a statement, to prove to the entire Union that I'm willing to put it on the line to fight for what I believe in."


Meaning Koatoa uses technology or resources that comes from Horizon, and by haltering the production mr Hale might actually cause Horizon some harm.

 		i just got this email too, and thank you for phoning it, as im also in the uk, and cant phone it

found this on the website interesting read

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Aegis

"No one dared come near us, for there was no weapon we were afraid. Of the many men before us, we were stronger than all, for all men were greatly afraid of us. We are the protectors. We are the Aegis."


They were the unwanted, the forgotten children on the streets of Earth or worse, in the vast desert outside of our city walls. Such conditions made them strong and unwavering in the face of fear. At Horizon Industries, we gave them a chance to not only survive, not only to prosper, but to make a difference.


They kept us safe in 2260, when criminals attempted but failed to murder President Sparrow. They have kept those criminals at bay, imprisoning those who continue to terrorize our population and instilling fear amongst those who debate further action.


The Aegis are always watching, and always listening. You can help. Contact your local Aegis security checkpoint to report suspicious activities.

 		contactSPLAThorizonindustries.org

From the website, another email to contact them through.

As much as I'd like to delve deeper, I am off to class, then work. If someone could summarize the website for me, I'd be grateful - that way I can edit it into the first post for newcomers.

 		Looks like calling the number tagged our phone number as belonging to a player.
Didn't leave a message, but we'll see if they start sending out calls.
Still awaiting info from Hale's contact.
