Should the GTU invade the primitive planet Forever Spring?
- Case Puple: Invade and integrate Forever Spring 23
- Case Black: Indoctrinate the populace to accept the GTU's values 91

Since their discovery over a century ago, the Greater Terran Union has been aggressively observing a primitive alien species whose homeworld roughly translates to “Forever Spring”. In recent decades this civilization has entered an era roughly analogous to Earth’s 20th century and begun attempting to intercept GTU reconnaissance drones. Forever Spring is located in a strategically valuable section of the Outer Rim and this area is critical to the interests of the Greater Terran Union. Recent technological developments on the planet, including the splitting of the atom, mean that if the GTU is to intervene, it must do so quickly or risk unacceptable losses. The uproar across the Union following a similar campaign against the Wassari means that any form of intervention is likely to be seen as a betrayal of the GTU’s principles by a vocal minority.
