TLG Ecologie and Vertonel to power up suburban manufacturing areas with
Green Energy

Thiers, Louives: or the past 50 years, TLG Ecologie has focused on bringing renewable energy to Lourenne for the bettering
of the environment as well as a boost in energy sector jobs. Most recently, TLG Ecologie was responsible for expanding
Lourenne's green energy sector to cover 65% of the nation meaning that the country is almost completely run on renewable
energy such as hydroelectric power, solar energy, wing power, and geothermal energy. However, this is not the only project
they have done. TLG Ecologie also managed to power the entire city of Valois with renewable energy, specifically solar
energy. Now, after a company meeting in Louives back in August, the company has announced a large scale project, along
with green energy provider Vertonel, to power multiple Lourennais suburbs and major manufacturing centers with renewable
energy by at least 80 percent by 4655.

TLG Ecologie picked large suburban areas on the outskirts of even larger metropolitan areas and manufacturing cities as
their area of focus.

Their projects will focus on the cities of:

Bord du Monde
Colcomaté
Liroux
Iztapalata
Delaune

Each city is currently a large, urban area or are expected to become large urban areas in the next 20 years. TLG
Ecologie will be building large solar panel fields on the outskirts of these cities. Each solar panel field will have the
capability to power 3 large neighborhoods in the city that it is powering. Solar Panel fields will be focused more in
Iztapalata, Liroux, and Bord du Monde. Delaune, will be powered mainly through hydroelectric power and wind power.
Delaune's location in central Carolleux makes it ideal for wind power and access to the Valois River makes it an
excellent choice for wind and hydroelectric power. Colcomaté, Liroux, and Iztapalata are a challenge to TLG and to
Vertonel because of their low to no accessibility to water or wind. Yet, access to solar energy and geothermal energy
are high. It is expected that most of these three cities will be powered at least 80 percent by renewable energy sources
by 4655 and 90 percent by 4560. Delaune is the only city that will be powered at least 70 percent by green energy
by 4650 and up to 80 percent by 4660. Construction on panel fields, water power electricity plants, and wind turbines
has already begun. It is expected that at least 6,000 jobs will be created during the construction process and at least
8,000 after construction. Environmentalist political groups, politicians in the royal assembly, and non-profits have
already shown their support for this great project by TLG Ecologie and vertonel.

Royal Ministry of Defense launches Massive Navy Expansion Program
October 4647
Parmentier, Outannnais

Parmentier, Outannais:Minister of National Defense George Orseaux, in his second month of being
Minister of National Defense announced an ambitious program to expand the Lourennais Royal Navy,
officially known as the Lourennian Naval Forces. Minister Orseaux was joined by Chief of the National
Defense Staff Admiral Didier Boisson and Chief of Staff of the Lourennian Naval Forces Admiral Djeferson
Laurent at a conference to embark on a multi-billion franc expansion on the Lourennian Navy. One of
the primary focuses was the completion of the fourth Queen Isabelle-class aircraft carrier, to be named
the King Phillipe, after the former reigning monarch. The project was in development since 4639 but
has faced a series of delays, with permission from the Royal Assembly, the Minister of National Defense
cleared several hurdles and the King Phillipe will be prepared one year earlier and should be ready for
service in February, 4656.

Chief of Staff of the Lourennian Navy Admiral Laurent announced that the Lourennian Navy will be
broken down into three primary "fleets", the first being the Rapid Intervention Squadron (Escadron
d'intervention rapide) which will be lead by two flagships LVN Queen Isabelle and the LVN St.Herbert,
will be the primary blue-water fleet of the Lourennian Navy. The second will be the Naval Action
Squadron (Escadron d'Action Naval) which will be responsible for more long-term intervention uses
and will be lead by the King Phillipe when it completes earlier next year. The final fleet will be the
Emergency Support Squadron (Escadron de soutien d'urgence) which will be a reserve fleet primarily
guarding the coastal areas of Lourenne, led by the LVN Liroux, and providing search and rescue
assistance when necessary.

While the focus was on the deployment and completion of the King Philippe-class aircraft carrier, the
Lourennian Navy unveiled two brand new classes of submarines. The newly announced Triumphant-class
ballistic missile submarine will provide the Lourennian Navy with a capable sub-marine force and it will
be joined by the Rubis-class nuclear attack submarine which will further bolster the submarine force of
the Lourennian Navy. Both of these projects have been in development for several years but were
previously classified, it is likely that they will be deployed in five to six years time, given the long devel-
opment process for the submarines, it is expected that following the initial submarine, projects will range
from two to four years in construction time. Currently 6 are on order of the Triumphant-class and 12 are
on order for the Rubis-class and those will be completed within three to six years. By 4656 the submarine
force of Lourenne will be a force to be reckoned with.

One of the most recent developments was the creation of the Lourenne multi-purpose frigate, known as the
Maubagne-class frigate. Created by Lourenne Naval Systems (Systèmes navals lourennais), a company founded
several years ago to develop a multi-mission frigate and working closely with Capet-Fouquet Industries who
have somewhat of a dominance in the Lourennian naval industry. The Maubagne-class frigate will enter service
in roughly six years, roughly 4653 and will be created with 10 ships to be delivered over a five year period.

Lourenne Naval Systems will also provide some single-type ships such as fleet tenders and intelligence ships.
One of them is the development of the Endurance-class replenishment ship, the Clerciennes-class missile range
instrument ship and the Valentou-class intelligence ship. These ships will likely take several years to complete.
While this ambitious project is likely to cost the Ministry of National Defense a pretty franc, it is backed by
numerous government and financial industries. In partnership with Capet-Fouquet Industries, the Lourenne Naval
Systems has announced joint projects on several new ships, including the Thiers-class amphibious assault ships,
Parmentier-class frigate and the Delaune-class frigates

Parmentier, Outannais: The Naval Action Squadron joined by the Emergency Support Squadron were
part of a rapid response exercise focused around the anti-missile defense capabilities of the the 12
Parmentier-class frigate that are a part of the Naval Action Squadron. The Parmentier-class frigate
is capable of shooting down several types of missiles, namely cruise missiles, that might provide
danger to the coastal cities of Lourenne in the event of any sort of invasion. Minister of National Defense
George Orseauxc who announced that the snap drills were taking place noted that Lourenne must be
prepared for any threats, including those that might not reveal itself yet. The Rapid Intervention
Squadron is expected to return from its freedom of navigation by September, 4652 and will likely be in
port for several months before being set out to sea again for further blue-water operations. The missile
defense system that is aboard many Lourennian Navy ships is known as PAAMS, the Principal Anti Air
Missile System which was developed jointly by the Artanian Defense Group and Defense Electronics,
now apart of Lourennais Defense Systems, recently acquired by Artanian Defense Group. PAAMS
is a state of the art missile defense system that is capable of tracking multiple targets, some defense
experts claim it is vastly superior to the AEGIS system developed by Zardugal, Vanuku and Hutori and
used by several countries.

While the Naval Action Squadron and the Emergency Support Squadron was conducting missile defense
off of the coast of Lourenne, the Lourennais Army was conducting exercises for the 1st Rapid Response
Brigade (1ère brigade d'intervention rapide) which consists of mostly airborne forces which includes:
15th Parachutist Infantry Regiment (15e régiment d'infanterie de parachutistes), 11th Parachutist
Armored Regiment (11ème régiment blindé de parachutistes), 1st Parachutist Regiment (1er régiment
de parachutistes), 2nd Parachutist Regiment (2e régiment de parachutistes), 7th Parachutist Marine
Infantry Regiment (7e régiment d'infanterie de marine parachutiste) and 3rd Parachutist Mountain Regiment
(3ème régiment de montagne parachutiste). It is the first brigade of the newly renovated Lourennais
Armed Forces and it is likely that it will continue to build. The 1st Rapid Response Brigade is likely to be
one of the primary combat units in the future of Lourennais combat operations. The brigade conducted
exercise in the eastern portion of Lourenne, focusing mainly on logistical and support operations and
building defensive structures in an enemy combat zone. OPFOR was handled by elements of the Directorate
-General of Military Intelligence, reporters were closed off from attending the event though some images
and limited information was shared with local reporters and National Defense. Minister of National
Defense George Orseaux was on site for the exercises.

Royal Cabinet Responds to Increased taxes by Aldegar
January 4652
Eroncourt, Joviant

Eroncourt, Joviant: This afternoon, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, along with the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry
of Trade and Finances met in Eroncourt to discuss the kingdom's options after the Aldegarian government announced
that they would close the Aldegar Canal to all military vessels and add a 25% tax to all goods on cargo ships including
Lourennais ships. After the announcement was released on Aldegarian press sites, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs quickly
ordered all ships to leave Aldegar and refuel at Lourennais bases in Vorona, Rildanor, and Kanjor. The Ministry of Trade
understood that no direct effect would take place on the Lourennais economy as a result of the increased taxes. The
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Antoine Sainté, stated that he held talks with Kalistan, Rildanor, Kanjor, and Vorona to ensure
that Lourennais held a dominant trade presence in the Anantonese after three tax increase in Aldegar. Minister Santé
spoke to our reporters in Eroncourt following the announcement of the pull of Lourennais ships from Aldegar. Ministry
Santé explained that "Although we do have some trade ships passing through the canal, we have ordered those
ships to turn around and refuel at one of our naval bases in the Anantonese. The kingdom's economy, according to
Minister Crosonne in Trade and Finances, will not be affected by taxes imposed on us. We have decided to not use
the canal to expand our trade and or trade routes. We will go around the continent and supply through our various
bases. We have been communicating with our Canrillaise brothers in the south and we are convinced that expanding
our old trade routes to Majatra and Artania through Rildanor and Kanjor will help our economies. We condemn
Aldegar for their decision to impose taxes and restrict or vessels. We will be in communication with our closest
allies to discuss our options and how we can cooperate to improve this situation" The Lourennais Royal Navy
has had constant exercises in the Anantonese Ocean away from the waters of any nation. The Lourennais Royal Navy
has not passed through the Canal for over 70 years. While trade ships passing through the canals is more constant,
the Lourennais economy is not set to take dramatic hits or effects from the canal. Trade will continue to flow
normally with the support of international Lourennais bases and the Royal Navy.

Royal Military improvements continue with All-Branch Exercise
in Outannais
May 4653


Lourennais Royal Ground component in long target training in southern Outannais

Parmentier, Outannais: After the announcement of a Royal Navy Expansion, the Royal Armed Forces
of Lourenne took part in a massive national exercise in the province of Outannais. The Royal Ground
Forces began training in the northern province of Outannais where the terrain is full of mountains
and some lowland jungles. Troops from the Royal Ground Forces underwent cardio drills, shooting
and target exercises, and offensive strategy overview. All infantry vehicles, tanks, and troop equipment
was used in the exercises and were then evaluated by the Royal Ministry of Defense (RMD) to ensure
that the Ground force's equipment is up to date. Any equipment or vehicle that did not meet the RMD's
quality standards were sent to various different weapons contractors for improved models or entirely
new models. According to some officers in the Ground Forces, some of the equipment is becoming
outdated. Reports and order requests are being sent to defense contractors to begin work on new vehicles
and artillery pieces. While the Ground forces trained in Outannais, The Royal Navy held maritime exercises
off the shores of the port city of Meridia also in Outannais . The Royal Navy conducted their usual target
target practice with decommissioned ships from the Royal Navy. Similar to the process by the Royal Ground
Forces, any equipment or weapon that do meet the RMD's quality standards were sent to be repaired or
completely rebuilt. Most frigates were not sent to be repaired. The Royal Navy's new frigates completed
in 4650 were the most successful of all the ships in the Royal Navy, mainly due to their new commission
into the Royal Navy's first four fleets. Few of the ships commissioned in earlier years will only receive
minor upgrades after exercise evaluations. The Royal Air Force trained in southern Outannais as well along
with the Ground Forces. Most of the exercises involved reconnaissance maneuvers and target practice. The
Royal Air Force has seen an increase in recruits since the improvement of national radars and increased
presence in NORDIC with the Kaulian Air Force. More troops have signed up for the Royal Air Force compared
to all other Royal Branches. The Royal Ministry of Defense hopes to hold other large exercises in other
regions in the kingdom within the next 5 years

February 4658
Parmentier, Outannnais


LVN King Philippe leaving Parmentier towards Kazulia, the home of the Fourth Fleet of the Royal Navy

Parmentier, Outannais:After almost 12 years of construction and planning, The Royal Ministry of Defense finally announced
the completion of Lourenne's most extensive and expensive navy expansion in its history. In 4647, construction began in
Parmentier on several new additions to the Royal Navy including the LVN King Philippe which is the new flagship for the
Lourennais 4th fleet, which is anchored in Kazulia and has many of the new ships that were recently completed. The Fourth
fleet, with the LVN King Philippe, will be responsible for all operations in the northern region of Lourenne. The new Navy
Expansion Program created by the Ministry of Defense called for the creation of 10 Maubagne Class Frigates, which will be
dispersed between the four fleets accordingly, 12 Rubis class Submarines and 6 Triomphante Class submarines, also to be
evenly dispersed. As a means to expand the capabilities of NORDIC between Kazulia and Lourenne, 8 new intelligence radar
vessels were built to ease and monitor the skies of NORDIC's area of focus. The ships, part of the Valentou Class, will be
specifically put into action only within the home rapid intervention fleet and the fourth fleet in Kazulia to enhance northern
surveillance.

An Anantonese focus for the Royal Navy: After all new ships were docked at their corresponding naval base, the Ministry
of Defense officially revealed Lourennais military policy for the Royal Navy and its focus area. The Ministry of Defense
stated that thee Royal Navy will only be focusing on most of the eastern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere because
of its commitment to NORDIC. The Anantonese Ocean, as stated by chief officer Adier Boissonade, "will be Lourenne's focus
area for a long period of time. Lourenne has held a firm presence and influence on all nations within the Anantonese and
plans to keep it that way and make it stronger now that the full might of the Royal Navy has been restored and improved".
The Lourennais Royal Navy can hold operations throughout the globe like many other global powers, however, the Ministry of
Defense has stated that Lourenne's focus area is the Anantonese and "the East."
