The mission The Story's End was, despite everything, a massive success! The log can be read here.

The canons Super Robot Wars Alpha 3 and Super Robot Wars Unification are both complete! No further canons remain unfinished in the game... but it is not the end yet.

Notes:
-As the rest of Project Unification and allied forces created a defensive perimeter, the Discovery of Self and its escorts made it into the Lady-controlled realm. There the Discovery's real, humanoid form was revealed, and we fought against Loni Gavin. The stay in the realm didn't make any favors for his mental health, but he fled after being beaten, and the path to the Lady was open.
-The Lady tried to persuade everyone about the rightfulness of her way of doing things, but no one was convinced. Her and her minions' power was overwhelming but Inspector Jou managed to personally crack the tiny crystal that was created as a weapon to serve against her. Despite all doubts it was enough to strip the Lady off her power, and the Inspector survived the attempt too (thanks to Gwen).
-The Lady's loss was a cue for a new opponent to appear. Keisar Ephes, also known as the true Balmarian god Augustus, an ancient opponent of the Lady with the power to control the dead as his minions. He sought to control all life in galaxy, with what remains of Discovery being his key. Selena tried to stop him, but his powerful End of the Galaxy power seemingly killed her in return.
-Right after, Princess Armana and her Balmarian allies arrived to reinforce us, but came under attack by the Lady returning with minions. Neither the Lady nor Keisar Ephes were willing to cooperate, both enemies hellbent on destroying each other - and us!
-Selena then returned to the world of the living (courtesy of Elma using her electric whip as a defibrillator), carrying a message - a song from those who have fallen but still wished to protect the Earth. They spoke to us directly, with UG's fallen friends and allies offering words of encouragement, and Commander-in-Chief Roland Antov hijacking an enemy Grunbein with help of Rani and Brye.
-Seeing her minions fall and her strength wane, the Lady decided to hijack the BrightSaber, as Loni stumbled back upon the battlefield. Unfortunately for her, he was done being a puppet and forcibly threw her out of his unit, critically wounded her and fled. The Lady was then finished off by Walt Schmertz - for good.
-His command of the dead neutralized by the song, Keisar Ephes fought desperately but his unit was in the end destroyed. Ephes himself tried to flee, and kill Selena for good after she pursued him... only to be stopped by the spirits of Albhard, Captain Symphonia and the rest of Team Jelba. Selena then finished him. For good.
-The Lady has fallen and her sphere of influence is gone from Earth. The Discovery of Self was destroyed in the process of defeating her, but its components are still being examined because there was something within them that interested Keisar Ephes. We also regained access to the ruined Fort Alhambra base, though it won't be used by us because...
-With its mission over and marked as a success, Project Unification will remain for some time yet, just in case. Afterwards, it will be dismantled. Its members will either transfer back to their original units (for military people) or go on their own seperate ways (for the rest).
The Story's End

The Lady's influence cannot be allowed to grow anymore. The time for preparation is over: with the Discovery of Self and the specially created weapon, Project Unification ventures deep into her realm. We have only one chance at this, and we cannot afford to lose.

Canon: Super Robot Wars Alpha 3, SRWU (canon finale for both - but it is NOT the final mission of the game!)
Characters: Selena Recital, any number of other combatants (special, see below)
Type: Planned
Setting: Breaching the Lady's sphere of influence, North America
Schedule: This mission will happen on Sunday August 21st, at 8 AM CDT/1 PM GMT. Yes, I realize this time isn't good for everyone who responded to the scheduling post, this is the best compromise we could work out and I'm very sorry for that. Anyway if you want to participate, please respond below.

Note on participants: Any player who wishes to participate in this mission may send any number of their characters on it, as opposed to just one. Each player can still only act with a single character during an initiative prompt however.

The mission The Planet Abandoned by God had a lot of complications, not entirely unexpected to be honest... but ultimately, it succeeded. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Selena Recital
Willis Clades
Kei Kugimiya
Hetepheres

Notes:
-We accompanied Princess Armana to Balmar, for her final sacrifice to restore the Spirit Emperor Ruach Gan Eden's power and allow him to save his home planet. However as it quickly turned out, Ruach had only his own well being in mind, cared not for Balmar and in fact drained the world for its energy to achieve more power. He then tried to hijack the Discovery of Self to escape the doomed planet.
-Ruach used the ancient relic Geber Gan Eden to try to finish everyone off, but its power turned out to be less than advertised. This was because of Shiva Gozzo, who revealed himself and explained that he had the Geber's workings modified so that Ruach's life energy powers Armana's and not the other way around. Then he executed the Spirit Emperor off for crimes against Balmar.
-Unfortunately, Shiva still wanted to take over the Discovery in order to usher Balmar in a new golden age. He was accompanied by Spectra and Calico McCready, and controlled Armana who was in a trance-like state.
-Calico and Spectra combined their machines into the Geber Vayikran, but were eventually seriously damaged thanks to our efforts and a sudden support from Baran Doban and Rand Travis working in unison. The latter decided to sacrifice themselves to finish Selena off (despite the former's protests), but Selena managed to survive it.
-In the end, Shiva was beaten and Armana was extracted from the Gan Eden... a victory that took too long to achieve as a final meteorite storm started to destroy Balmar, with plenty of civilians still left on the planet. A fact that Shiva would never agree with, and he used what power he still had to open as many portals on the planet as possible. An effort that cost him his life, but allowed almost everyone to escape the planet in time.
-The Balmarians are now homeless, their empire in shambles - but they are alive, and have two Hermodr-class ships to live on. With Armana as their leader they will try to forge a new path.
The Planet Abandoned By God

In order to save Balmar, a Project Unification task force and even the Discovery of Self is sent to the planet. As well as Princess Armana herself - but there are those who wish to selfishly benefit from her sacrifice...

Canon: Super Robot Wars Alpha 3
Characters: Selena Recital, at least 3 other combatants
Type: Planned
Setting: The capital city of Balmar
Schedule: This mission will happen on Monday July 18th, at 2 PM CDT. If you'd like to participate, please respond below.
Important note: Due to scheduling conflicts, the mission Devastation will be scheduled at a later time. Keep your eyes peeled for a new scheduling post! In the meantime:

The mission Counterattack of the Unified Fleet was a success. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Selena Recital
Asagi Toshikazu
Kei Kugimiya
Astara Kellin
Seta Albreich

Notes:
-Before the unified fleets could get into position for an attack on the Balmarian force, Selena managed to break off and flee in Spectra's stolen Varuch Ishar, with Armana of course. The Balmarian pursuit group managed to corner her, right in time for our own force to show up.
-The Project Unification strike force fought hard against the Balmarians. Even though only a small part of the Fifth and Sixth Fleets were present, we endured strong resistance from a pair of new units, the Vayikran and Devariim, piloted by Spectra and Calico respectively. The Imperial Guards' Bemidoban was there as well.
-Thanks to Willis, Elma managed not only to repair the Soleares, but to upgrade it into AS Alegrias! Selena put it to good effect during the battle.
-Though their efforts at replicating Izuru's mindset have failed, Kei and Asagi found their own individual ways for the AHSMBs to Awaken. Their units' true potential has been unlocked.
-The Balmarian fleets' main forces soon arrived with the colossal Hermodrs, but before we could fight them all Balmarian clones spoke with the voice of their Spirit Emperor, Ruach Gan Eden. His meditations have ended and he declared the war with Earth over, as the recent Balmarian aggression was all decided by his Prime Minister, Shiva Gozzo, who planned to overthrow the emperor.
-Apparently we are at peace with Balmar now. Armana is allowed to stay on Earth and do as she pleases until the empire requires her sacrifice, and Ruach offered a piece of the Discovery of Self to us. Unfortunately it will require Armana's sacrifice first, as his full power is needed to reawaken it...
The mission Counterattack of the Unified Fleet will take place on Thursday June 2nd, at 2 PM CDT.

The mission Fugitive's Truth was a failure - but one that brings a possible change of winds. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Selena Recital
Asagi Toshikazu
Kei Kugimiya
Willis Clades
Grimlock (and the rest of Dinobots)

Notes:
-The Balmarians launched an attack on Sakihama city in order to force Armana out of hiding. Princess Armana turned out to be a Balmarian, to the surprise of pretty much no one.
-The attack was led by Spectra and Luria. The latter is Armana's bodyguard and revealed the motives behind the attack - Balmar needs the Priestess of Zehirut to sacrifice herself to avert disaster. Armana was given time by the Spirit Emperor, but now the Prime Minister of Balmar is in charge and he wants her back, by any means necessary.
-To make matters even worse, Apollonius "Loni" Gavin appeared and tried to free Armana both from Balmarians and from Unity Group.
-Spectra managed to grab Armana and destroy Selena's unit. The Balmarian forces withdrew, but Selena was nowhere to be found in or near the Soleares...
-Loni was forced to withdraw by SSR's sudden appearance. As it turns out, Viletta and the rest weren't there for no reason, and hold more important news for us...
-Damage to the city was relatively minor due to the Balmarians' precision and our quick reaction, but one has to wonder why people still insist on living anywhere near Sakihama Base.
The mission Fugitive's Truth will happen tomorrow, on Saturday May 28th, at 10 AM CDT/3 PM UTC.

Participants:
Selena Recital
Willis Clades
Kei Kugimiya
Possibly a Corel character (tentative)

As per the announcement we have 4 signups, including tentative signups so the mission will take place. People who didn't sign up can also show up, as usual. See you there.

The mission A Diplomat in Jest was a success. The log can be read here

Participants:
Captain Bruno J. Gloval + Macross bridge crew
Selena Recital and Albhard Bailaran
Cobray Gordon
Hetepheres
Ataru Suruga
Calvin Eldred Edwards
Walt Schmertz

Notes:
-The advance part of the GDF fleet has been attacked by Balmarians and Zentradi simultaneously. The attack has been repelled and the journey towards the Wulgaru gate continues.
-The Balmarian fleet commander Ephesus Gozzo asked Earth to become allies/slaves of Balmar under unacceptable conditions. He also mentioned an enemy of Balmar who was on the run and hid on Earth. The enemy's identity remains unknown.
-Calico McCready is still alive. Cobray turned out to be his clone, a Balmarian soldier named Ayin Barshem. This explains why he could use the Wildschwein, as Calico himself was a clone of Major Ingram Plisken.
-Cobray is using the Werkbau now, which appeared out of nowhere as if to answer his calls. There seems to be a strange reaction that somehow occurs whenever he pilots it...
-Not all Zentradi are hostile towards us, as a Zentradi boarding party seemed to consist mostly of those of them who wanted to peacefully flee to Macross. As well as a commander who decided to kill them, but was stopped.
-Max Jenius has a Zentradi girlfriend. Somehow it happened.
-Albhard gave up his life to allow us to destroy Ephesus' Zehirut, more powerful than the one inside Meteor-3. This leaves Selena the sole survivor of her squad, not counting Elma.
The mission Diplomat in Jest will be held on Sunday at 10 AM CDT/3 PM GMT - roughly 17 hours from the time of this posting.

Participants:
Captain Bruno J. Gloval + the rest of Macross bridge crew
Selena Recital
Cobray Gordon
Hetepheres

There is a lot of place for other participants.
A Diplomat in Jest

A Balmarian fleet appears from the Crossgate - and it turns out its commander wants to talk. The siuation becomes more complicated as Zentradi join in as well.

The mission Oriental Sentinels was a success - albeit one with very unexpected elements. The log can be read here.

Participants:
Ashe
Selena Recital and Albhard
Cobray Gordon
Jen Douglas
Roger Smith
Optimus Prime
Dido Sybil

Notes:
-Master Albert's base was located in a dangerous jungle where literally (almost) everything was a robot and out to kill us. Unfortunately, in the end it turned out the base was only a relay transmitter. We may be able to use it to see where the signal was transmitted to, or from. Time will tell.
-We came across the SSR. After a brief fight, it turned out they received a video of us helping Loni during his breakout from Fort Alhambra - which turned out to be false, same for them attacking an ESUN base.
-Thanks to the help of Unity Group's ESUN inspector, we learnt that both videos, the ones UG and SSR received, arrived through channels owned by the Chimera. They have a lot to answer for.
-Ashe acquired the power of Argoyle and Ugoyle the Shisaroids.
-Cobray is able to pilot the Wildschwein somehow. The biometric lock is still there, intact.
-One of the SSR members is Viletta Vadim, a woman who looks just like the Balmarian Spectra. Apparently they are both Ingram clones - or something similar.
The mission Deep Recon was a success! The log can be read here.

Participants:
Cobray Gordon
Selena Recital
Russel Bagman
Calvin Eldred Edwards
Hetepheres
Willis Clades

Notes:
-We made contact with Cobray Gordon the informant and his unit the Werkbau. Unfortunately it turns out he lost his memory. Quick examination performed while still onboard the Godinion confirms that it is in fact Gordon, his amnesia is real and not made up, and his unit is built using Earth-level technology.
-Even though they were under attack by Wulgaru, we managed to rescue all three members of Team Doberman. Thanks to that this song does not have to be played.
-We know the location of the Wulgaru gate now. It is located further from Earth than any Crossgate. The GDF is making preparations for a possible strike already.
-The Wulgaru Legates Lutiel was defeated but she managed to escape with her life.
-The Godinion has been heavily damaged but is still operational.
The mission Deep Recon will happen today, Thursday March 12th, at 1 PM CST. This is roughly 7 hours from now on.

The mission "Operation Doll" was a Pyrrhic victory, with a heavy cost. The mission log can be read here.

Participants:
Selena Recital and Albhard Ballaran
Ken Torao
Volya Alkaev
Setsuko Ohara and Toby Watson
Seta Albreich
Hayao Kakizaki
Kagura

Important Notes:
- Most of Team Jelba was wiped out in an ambush set by mysterious attackers who turned out to be Balmarians. Selena and Albhard are the only survivors.
- Most of the enemy force was destroyed as well, though some of them managed to flee - including their leader, who looked suspiciously like a female version of Ingram.
- Speaking of Ingram, it turned out he was the one who planned this operation! Unfortunately, since captain Symphonia was the only one who had access to full mission data, the whole thing stays an awful mystery for the time being.
- Selena's Gesterben was wrecked and cannot be used anymore. It's possible to salvage its parts, at least.
The mission Operation Doll will take place on Saturday October 18th, at 12 PM (noon) CDT.
