"If it exists without my knowledge, it exists without my consent." Funds have been built up by the Syndicate Exploracion Xerxes for decades from the Gazebo Protectorate, Antarctic Lunaria, and the Metropol for the research and exploration of a planet that'd been scattered in mystery for hundreds of years at this point; The Planet of Venus. Once claimed and put under the jurisdiction of a nation lost to time, the planet had been thoroughly shielded from the golden rays of the sun, and from most forms of sensory detail around. While there was awareness of it's existence, with clear observation showcasing it's transition from a yellow planet to a cloudy blue by the terraformation, what was disappointing was the lack of communication with the outside world after the nation's mysterious collapse The primary problem with attempts to reach satisfactory results on Venus had everything to do with the thick atmosphere it held, which was maintained by the nation that had colonized and left it for dead. All attempts to discover what had occurred and the processes in which this nation had done its terraformation were lost on Spania, so they effectively had to start from Scratch. They did know it contained life, though. With enough time and buildup, keeping Madridya's Space Arsenal from them due to the allegiance of the Gazebo Protectorate, the S.E.X had prepared it's own personal probe, nicknamed 'Pious', and a spaceship to land down on the planet. Many more unmanned probes, containing Artificial Intelligences, will be sent out to reexamine the space sunshade utilized by the now-abandoned nation and maintain it. Spania's end goal is to claim Venus as it's second major extraterrestrial holding for the Zala'iyan species, and as a warehouse to conduct ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙᴇꜱᴛ ɴɪɢʜᴛᴍᴀʀᴇ.
