Guardian: "No destroying planets."

GNS: Real. Current. News.

We're experiencing some technical difficulties at the moment. The Intrasense will not be available for the next few hours. But that's not going to stop the news at every :11.

Our story today centers on an initiative by Prefontaine, leader of the Guardian alliance of the Kantus faction, to limit the effects of war on planets. Strange as it is to see a follower of the faction that first used DE weapons proposing something like this, this may be a step in the right direction for the well-being of civilians everywhere.

We have Prefontaine here in the studio with us to talk about his plan.

The camera zooms out, showing Prefontaine seated in a chair to the left of the anchor.

So, you have a proposal for the galaxy?

Yes. What I want to accomplish is a verse-wide policy on when it's acceptable to destroy a nation's homeworld. Obviously a very serious act in itself, it's not something that should be done without proper provocation, and this is what needs to be discussed. This is not just a KLIT or Kantus policy, I want all factions to voice their opinions in this.

I see. Do you see members of either of the other factions signing on to this in the future?

Well, not even KLIT is signed onto this idea, yet. It's still early in its development. I have proposed the idea to one of the leaders of AGE, and he, at least in my opinion, seemed to like the idea. I feel most people would support this policy ultimately, as long as they feel they get a say in it's inception. No one wants their home world destroyed.

That's a good point. So who, to date, supports this?

Supports the idea? Officially only my alliance currently, since there's no set document to be supported at the moment. Just the idea. The idea is supported loosely by a few alliances, most of which are in KLIT since I've mostly got their feedback for the idea before going public. I want to stress this is something we all need to be involved with on the ground level for it to work. Kantus, Arthran, and Edictus alike.

Do you see this as a step towards galactic peace and possible unification, presumably under the King of Man?

Peace? That won't happen until Kantus achieve victory. This is simply a step towards civility, even during war. This should also not be viewed as any sort of trepidation that the KLIT might have to war. This idea that I'm proposing is not an act of cowardice, nor is it a step towards peace, it's simply a move to a more civilized war.

Ah, all right. So something akin to the Geneva Convention of ancient times?

I suppose that'd be accurate.

All right. Anything you'd care to say to our audience?

I'm open to all suggestions of what people feel should be added to the list that's already being loosely created. The KLIT made an announcement not too long ago listing our main forums, so if you'd like to reach me on the matter, that would be the best place. Once we've an idea of where each faction stands, a more public debate can start, and hopefully we can all come to an agreement.

Thank you for your time. Coming up next, information security and you. Are you safe from hackers?

He would be better suited to approach either myself or [`_`] if looking for an official statement from Edictus.

Actually, I am the official spokesman of AGE. However, as the Hand of AGE, Nate is able to speak for us should I be unavailable.

Yes, presumably each alliance would have to individually agree to this idea.
