Welcome to SPACE CIVILIZATION QUEST


How it's played, in short:
Anyone can vote on national issues every turn(currently lasting 9 months in-universe) and whenever there is a special prompt for an event, warfare and the like. You can propose ideas, seek support for yours, tell everyone why that guy's plan is terrible and would bankrupt the nation. You can go a step further by playing as a faction within the nation - an organisation with assets and agendas of its own. Expand your power and influence within the nation whilst also shaping its future development, create coalitions, pursue private projects, develop characters that represent your faction - even the sky itself is no longer the limit!

Previously, on Space Civ Quest™:

The Black Sun Reich, a menace to the rest of mankind, has been brought down to its knees - its space forces destroyed and its capital world, Asgard, currently under siege with an ongoing ground invasion - one that has been dragging on for months, beyond initial expectations for a quick victory before Christmas. With near total air and orbital superiority, however, the United Front that you, the Extrasolar Free State are part of. Your losses in space have been fairly low, but on the ground nearly all of your troops have been wiped out.
Of ever growing concern are the rumors - and indeed footage - of unknown alien vessels entering human space, chiefly those systems under the exploitation of the Free Enterprise Pact - the cartel of megacorporations with major space holdings. These incursions appear in the form of individual vessels or small groups of ships, most of them small - with many sightings being unconfirmed reports and only a few having solid data to back them up. No government or agency has made any statement on this or any official interaction with an alien power having been undertaken in the past years - but the time of human space being isolated from the rest of the galaxy and its problems may be at an end now, a hundred years after the dawn of extrasolar colonization.

Great amounts of research have gone into the matter of Eterani, our star. The mystery has only now been half-solved. The very specific spectral flux density of Eterani is quite out of the norm for stars of its class. It's not just that, however, but many other properties of the star that are out of the ordinary - at least relative to our knowledge of astrophysics. It has taken a comparison of readings from across the last 99 years for us to finally be able to reach some sort of conclusion. In plain language, it would read as follows: Eterani is a star that contains a relatively large amount of rare elements besides helium and hydrogen, xenon being one of particular note. Its high magnetic susceptibility might bear relevance in conjunction with the wavelength and frequency of the star's radiance - it would seem that there is an also an unknown factor that is greatly influenced by light diffusion, which would relate to why an Earthlike atmosphere prevents the crystalization of plant matter, itself an anomalic kind of photosynthesis that allows, given time, for crystals to build up on the surface of a plant, essentially "Hijacking" the process of photosynthesis itself and storing up the star's energy until a breaking point is reached - a most unusual phenomenon and one that, by all accounts, is "unnatural". This star has very likely been tampered with in some sense and the time in which this happened can be dated to around 4200 years ago, which coincides with the approximate age of the fossils on Selestine and the carbon dating on deeper ice on Icebox.
The Eterani crystal phenomenon is one that appears nearly self-defeating. For these crystals to be created it requires a biosphere - which we can now safely theorize existed on Icebox at some past point - to allow them to "Grow", yet their growth will also inevitably lead to their "Death". There is, however, a notable difference between "Old" and "New" crystals - the crystals on Icebox all appear to be "Ready to burst", requiring only about two seconds of continued exposure to direct radiance from Eterani to reach their pulse point. Experimentally-created new crystals, on the other hand, have a cycle that lasts for hours from the first exposure of a plant to unfiltered irradiance to the pulse. After trial and error, we have been able to practically replicate the conditions on Icebox and create copies of those genuine crystals, requiring a small timer to burst - and with the knowledge of this production, "Custom crystals" could also be made.
The big question that remains is "How do we replicate the conditions of Eterani?". After all, the crystal pulse has not been achieved in any other star system, rendering our practical usage of this rare resource limited to our core system. Scientists are working on ways to solve this, though what we may need exactly is uncertain, there appear to be specific conditions that must be triggered. Perhaps, some ask, we must find out who tampered with the star - and why?

SPACE NEWS:
The spring offensives on Asgard finally led to a decisive breakthrough. The enemy, exhausted from half a year of ground warfare and orbital bombardment, could not hold the capital's perimeter and across May and June the fighting moved into the city itself. By mid-July flags of the united forces were waving over major government centers, but fighting continued on into August over the surface areas. By September, civilian resistance has been reduced to almost minimal. The defenders of the planet have been pushed back to their underground security network, which appears to be vast indeed - but even with all their bunkers and hidden fortresses, it is now a matter of months until they run out of food, ammo, bodies or willpower.

Construct a massive array of Solar Mirrors satellites to reflect solar energy, after completion they will be towed into orbit around Planet Boyne, a Class II planet in the William System which is an ice world with a primitive atmosphere of some oxygen but mostly nitrogen. With some simple global warming the atmosphere will quickly turn to breathable and the whole world will allow for open human habitation. The gravity is 1.1G of Earth making it more than ideal for habitation along with having abundant rare earth minerals and volatiles.

With a new Constitution accepted on the 10th of October, 2249, a nation is born anew from the ashes. Uniting all territories from the Panama Canal to the Northwest Passage is a country proudly calling itself Columbia. Its capital is Columbus City in the state of Ohio. It is a highly decentralized federation of states, most of which are essentially the territories of and surrounding the cities that survived the American war. Much of the nation's lands are sparsely populated and essentially turned into nature reserves, with young forests growing where atomic craters once scarred the land. Indeed, it is in many ways a union of city-states that have settled the disputes over the now-recovering wastelands. The hope of the new Founding Fathers is to set an example for all mankind with their model of a democratic, decentralized nation based around city-states and a well managed ecology. Columbia has quickly reestablished contact with the extrasolar colonies in New Cascadia, which in turn have been granted fully equal statehood, no longer showing any legal discrimination between the homelands on Earth and the settled worlds in outer space.

A warmth in relationships has ensued between the Americas. The military dictatorship in Bolivaria has lost power and democracy has been restored to South America, whose devastated armies have long since withdrawn from the vast swathes of land they once tried to conquer. There were even some talks of a union between North and South, yet those fell through - the scars of the war and the animosity between the peoples on either side of the Channel have yet to fully heal.

This wave of good relations is not limited to Earth's western hemisphere, however - what did not happen in the Americas has seen fruition in the Old World. Eurasia has been formed as a supranational entity that envisions an ever-growing closeness and unity between its member-states. It too has adapted a broad, confederate model of governance. It seeks to establish common defense and extrasolar exploitation approaches for its members, with a growing agreement that the Old World no longer has enough resources in it to justify fighting over them - rather, united efforts to claim the vast, untapped wealth of outer space will see all prosper.


In light of such sentiments spreading through Earth, our own proposal of the establishment of another transnational organisation is actually receiving a certain amount of approval and sympathy - movements to that end have been seen elsewhere, yet you are the first to put it out as an official proposal. Preliminary talks begin in November of 2249, whilst December, over a year after the invasion began, General Sun Tsiang of the Asian League has declared victory on Asgard. Sketchy details in relation to the last months of fighting persist among some corners, yet Reichsmarshall Gustav Emlitzer offering the surrender of his remaining forces seems to confirm it.
Now comes a time for peace talks, among other discussions.
>>
The Black Sun Reich is defeated. Its political leaders are dead or missing and the few soldiers and officers left alive have surrendered. United Front forces occupy the Valhalla system, while captured maps indicate the presence of several lesser outposts a further distance away relative to Earth, still not under our control - yet in practice incapable of putting up any true resistance. The Reichsmarshall's orders have been sent to all forces of the Reich, including those in these outlying stations.
This final victory is met with both enthusiasm and a great sigh of relief among most civilians across human space. This series of wars is at last over, it would seem - yet what will be done in the aftermath?

It is clear that a peace conference must be held. Diplomats are currently discussing a location. Selestine has been mentioned - and not just by our own diplomats - yet there are also talks of Mars, Delta Pavonis, Luna and Earth itself. Eventually, the camps that are formed seem to show only three possible sites - Selestine, Mars and Luna.
The Pavonid Union supports the candidacy of Selestine. The ICS, naturally, supports Mars as a site for the conference. Corporate lobbyists largely support Luna, while Earthen diplomats are split or undecided.

What should we do on this diplomatic front?


A.It must be Selestine! Do what we can to get enough support, the prestige and power will be worth the cost.
B.Support our Martian comrades, our alliance has been the backbone of this victory after all.
C.Luna seems like a good enough neutral ground, but let's not admit to that too cheaply. Get our backs scratched a bit before we let them have their way.

It took some financing yet with a few friends within the ICS, some family relations with american representatives and generosity shown to Asian dignitaries. A conference in March of 2250 is scheduled to take place on Selestine.

How will you prepare for this event?It's quite useful for this matter that the Vowgate connects Sol and Eterani, yet there's more to a diplomatic conference than just the tickets for the flight. How will you be receiving the various state guests on one hand and what will the EFS be trying to accomplish through this event - give some proposals on your general "Game plan"?

-Dignitaries are to be each be personally welcomed to the planet by the Government ministers, with a group tour of major landmarks, buildings, and places of interest to be held the day before the negotiations.

We might have overestimated our capabilities somewhat. It's not that we don't have anywhere to put all these people - well, we didn't and now we do, but it still looks like a large assembled prefab with some extra paint on it. The welcoming committee, made up of all the ministers, managed not to scare any of the guests away - but trying to talk over each other or racing to get the best picture of a handshake may have also not made the best impression. The festivities also had a few interruptions that weren't really supposed to happen - the futureball players not only started fighting each other on the field, rowdy fans also broke out into fights that spilled out onto city streets. A spike in petty crime was noted across the planet, including thefts from on diplomat and the kidnapping of another, resolved eventually, but not without bloodshed.

Needless to say, the impression made on the leadership of the other human nations was rather poor. This does make most of the diplomats eager to get the conference on and over with.

The first major item on the day's agenda is dealing with the Black Sun Reich's territories. Mostly, it's a dispute over the big prize - the Valhalla system and the Class V world of Asgard. European and Asian diplomats propose that a program of concentrated migration be aimed towards the settling of people from Earth onto that world to allow for a new, free society to be established and eventually decide their political fate on their own.
The ICS, rather brashly, insists they be given control over the system, citing the losses they've had to suffer, chiefly the first colonies in the Vinnitsa system all being wiped out by the Reich.
Someone from Delta Pavonis did also mention the wish of the natives to be allowed to self-govern in peace, saying that they would poorly take a forced integration into human society that has become nearly alien to their way of life. Most seem to ignore this idea.

The carving up of the bulk of the Reich's territories is another issue. Certain corporations are willing to pay a good deal to gain the rights to the resources available in the many outpost systems in that sector of space. Besides Asgard, the only real colony with a permanent population is in the Eisenherz system, on a Class III world.

What will the EFS stance on territorial distribution and governance be? Will you try to link this to some other proposal you may have or will you tackle this separately?
>>
>>4275685
Personally I agree with the representative from Delta Pavonis. Valhalla will be left in peace. We'll sign treaties and agreements to ensure that they cannot militarily rebuild. Their defense will be left to the UEN as a whole, should they ever need to be defended. How isolationist or open to the rest of the galaxy they want to be should ultimately be left up to them, but I disagree with the notion of forced integration, it'll only cause problems for all parties down the line. I disagree even more with any singular nation taking sole control over the system. We are liberators, not conquerors.

The remaining resource rich planets should be divided up according to war contribution.
>>
>>4275685

The matter of Asgard is a difficult one as giving authority over an entire planet is quite a boon. In order to avoid favoring one nation or sidelining another perhaps we could split the authority over the former Reich capital of Asgard and colony in the Eisenherz system.
I believe that should satisfy any worries of spending blood for nothing.
The other resource rich systems can be divided up based on the war effort each nation put into the war

A division of the Black Suns is reached after several days of discussion. Algol and a few unpopulated surrounding systems will be given to the EFS. The ICS will have Eisenherz, while a larger swathe of outpost worlds will be taken by Eurasia.
The people of Valhalla will be given autonomy, though under some military supervision from what we've all agreed to call "Liberating forces". To that end, permanent military bases in the system will be established - one in space and one on the ground, not large enough to truly occupy the world, but primarily to serve as a base for monitoring.

The other major matter is now at hand - the establishment of an international diplomatic organization.

Give your proposal to the good people assembled here and then you'll be able to see what they think of it. You will have more chances to sway opinions or alter the proposal(s) so that an agreement may be reached.
>>
>>4275751
Its important that we have a combined military alliance against any external threats (i.e non members and aliens).
A security council shall thus be formed from the Major powers.
A non partial commission entity for regulating and mediating any conflict in order to prevent inter-human wars
It will also have a number of organisations, such as a monetary fund and health organization.
Essentially, this will promote governments to work with one another and pursue diplomatic ties, while preserving their autonomy from one another and present a united human front against any foreign threats.

The proposal seems to gain some interest - however, there are some issues.

A common front against external threats is fairly well received in theory. The United Front that existed so far has proven to be at least somewhat capable of winning a war, though this is mostly a consensus held by the diplomats because no one wants to admit to the faults it had and how much effort had to go into defeating a nation with a population of under four million.
For one, the matter of partitioning votes and determining who exactly is a major power. The change in the political system of many Earthen nations makes it all confusing to say the least. Earth is already on two layers of federalization across almost all of its nations and this would add a third.
Another issue is the fact that there is a tacit understanding among the others that the EFS is not truly a Major Power - at present the true major powers are Eurasia and the ICS, with the americans trying to reclaim their space on that table too.
The Vowgate proposal does see a fair bit of enthusiasm, on the other hand.
The idea of a monetary fund sees what could at best be described as "Mixed feelings". The ICS seems to be the only force standing in favor of a more unified policy on the matter.
The idea of a health organization is also supported by the ICS. Seeing this, the others seem to be mostly fine with it as well.

There is a general feel of war exhaustion among people and the idea for an entity that can arbitrate disputes sees some positive outlooks, but it gets a bit more complicated once you ask "Would this arbitrage hold binding legal power?". The logical followup, the question that killed the old UN, was "How would one enforce the power of such an organization's decisions?".

The first day of these talks is over for now and the diplomats now disperse to make small talk and engage in individual negotiations in more closed rooms.

On the day after, our reading of the situation seems as follows:

1.Common front against external threats - Approval among most
2.Security council - the idea is supported by the ICS and Eurasia, but they only consider themselves to be Major Powers and are now in talks with the north and south American reps. The extrasolar nations are not considered equal to the Earthlings.
3.Mediation commission - Pavonids support and there seems to be modest enthusiasm among the Earthen representatives, but the ICS is highly skeptical.
4.Monetary fund - only the ICS and Bolivaria are in real favor of it right now
5.Health organization - no consensus on how expansive it would be, but most agree that it's "A nice idea"
Now comes the hard part, the politicking - those among you with experience have seen it play out on a local level, but this is something that can decide the future of over ten billion humans, so needless to say the stakes are a tad higher than New Perth school budgets.
What will you do?Will you make different proposals? Who will you approach to bring to your side?
>>
>>4275751
To keep in with the course most of the nations here are keeping with decentralized or autonomous governance I propose this new body function on the same measures.
Have it act as a forum for humanities nations to discuss issues and work out treaties among themselves in a suitable environment. This body can also function as a means by which these nations can rally together in the face of external threats. Ie; any other black sun types or alien incursions.

>>
>>4275892
Seems fair enough of a proposal
However, I move that we keep the Health Organization
>>
>>4275892
This alone
>>
>>4275888
To try and settle some of these issues I have some other proposals.
1 settled already.
2 Perhaps a general council of nations as all nations active in the war participated in some meaningful way.
3 A open forum to prevent inter human wars this would prevent entaglment like what lead to the first world war on earth and hopefully keep heads cool
4 This matter is a very in depth one and should be pushed to a latter date where it can be handled properly
5 While this is as serious as the monetary discussion a small start could be made now. A simple agreement among nations to openly share there knowledge pools in the various fields related to health would go a long way to dealing with interstellar health crisis. This too would need a latter discussion on where to take it if we continue to develop it further.

This might not answer all questions but I hope it does settle atleast some.

Gridlocked discussions eventually only lead to the agreement to maintain open dialogue for more future cooperation, with an initial common ground in an agreement to unite if faced with external threats once more and to establish an international Health organization as something all sides can agree may be useful. Mankind might not be ready for much more than this yet, especially with the ongoing political changes already confusing many billions of people.

Whatever the case, one thing for now is clear - the war is over and peace is upon us. The 40s are at an end and you can now post and roll for projects that your faction and characters have been pursuing in this past decade.

I'm a dead man walking at this hour of the night so that's all for now. Continuation in the not so distant future of this week.

FP: At our remote research colony, we'll begin performing work to improve the efficiency and precision of our artificial gravity technology. Previously, we were working with what amounted to jury rigged FTL drives. It is our hope that by constructing a dedicated Artificial Gravity drive, we'll be able to overcome several of the shortcomings we've encountered thus far. Our designs will of course stil be based upon existing FTL drive technology, especially with the fuel efficiency improvements we made several years ago.

R&D Ministry Project: The undertaking we're about to undertake is massive. Matter is converted to energy all the time, and likewise, energy can be converted into matter, though the amount of energy required is massive. What we're going to strive to do is control the form this matter takes. We plan to hook up several antimatter reactors together on a prefab in the Outer Asteroid Belt to generate the massive amount of energy we'll need to pull this off. We'll then design and construct a massive photonic supercollider, designed to smash photons. We can then, theoretically, crack the photons into electrons and positrons. Doing so would create matter, in the form of electrons. If we can successfully do so, then we've already made a major breakthrough that we can develop upon later.

Fp Stealth Suit "Spectre"
The Deston Group has decided to work on a stealth suit for the ESIA fireteams. The Spectre is provided with specialized parts for spying, infiltration and so on. It's mostly made with light polymers and metal fibers (grants a good combat/hazard protection) and it has a light exoskeleton that enhances speed/agility.

-It s design is studied to make it difficult to reveal.
-Spectre is made silent with specialized sound isolation material.
-It has grey special paint variations applied on the surface. Under this paint there will be enhanced and synthesized lab grow scales fused together : of chameleon and ice fish scales. They create the desired "stealth" effect, allowing it to mimetize.
-Temperature absorbers placed outside allow it to cover the surface completely with the natural temperature of the surroundings.
-Spectre has a specialized comms system, sensors, a thermal/night vision and a small computer for hacking/hijacking.
- A series of batteries inside gives it the needed power.
- Some inside storage pockets.

While some parts of the Stealth Suit “Spectre” are highly experimental (scales), the experience in armors and the Minerva facility should help in more traditional parts of the suit. Since we are making this suit for the ESIA, we will ask them for their experience/opinion and allow them to see it and use it.
ESIA will be given the suits free.

An Orbital Shipyard.
The Shipyard will be situated over the increasingly Industrial planet of Dagda, helping the ship and Dockayrd already there. Being in orbit, the station will be able to construct and maintain ships without that pesky atmosphere getting in the way, also having a control tower, and crew facilities in essence making it another orbital station like our old relay towers, though quite a bit larger. The Assembly line production that Gallagher-Volk employs shall be found in full force as larger ships are able to be built and sent out at record speeds!
It is an ambitious undertaking, but the company is sure that if it is done correctly, the future potential is huge. The board has managed to fend Union off from this project thankfully, with a small concession to him coming in the form of 'entertainment' on board, including a fast food chain called "Bio Burgers" and a bowling alley, where it has been reported he chased and beat one of the Board members to unconsciousness with a pin!

Alas, it appears that Union hasn't spent his time drinking and drugging himself into Oblivion. Rather he has been blowing Company money and resources into a "Kickass Tower!". His Great Uncle, Matthew, supposedly suffered from a stroke when he heard this.

Platforms for flying veichals shall also be added, while floors (and a rumoured 'underground lair') shall be opened to The Followers of the Divine Shadow (of which Union is a member) and the Biomi Corp, whom Union believes will create a creme that makes him look younger.
The Union Tower will certainly be the largest structure seen on Selestine to date, a monument to Unions ego and sense of fashion.

>FP: Stronger, better, faster, Freedombots Mk2
The last years have given us countless opportunities to test the Freedombots in battle and throughout all these engagements we have collected data on how we can improve our product and help to keep Eterani free. Our battle data has clearly shown two things, firstly we lack anti armor capabilities outside the heavy bots and more importantly we pretty much always come in hot. Taking this into account the Mk2 has two primary new features, apart from a general update of all it's parts, to account for the technological progress since it was first developed, the first is the addition of smart missiles to be deployed from the light units back. In combat the bot will deploy these missiles straight upwards and the weapons internal processor will then aquire the target, interlinking with all nearby friendly units and launch itself downward into enemy armor. A narrow penetrating lance of plasma will be emitted by the ordinance upon explosion, achieving maximum penetration, but being relatively harmless when detonated by enemy fie before launch, they can also detonate upon a units destruction to prevent reverse engineering and damage hostiles moving in. The second new feature is the deployment shield, these cheap metal cassings equipped with reverse thrusters, can be attached to both heavy and light units to safely launch them from low orbit or into a space station. The main purpose is to lightning deploy mechanical units into enemy ranks, in a not easily interceptable manner, as hundreds of units would be incoming spread out and at once. Once landed they would interlink and engage enemies preventing a safe deployment of regular forces, securing a beach head.
Summary:
-Freedombots Mk2 all around upgrade to account for technological progress
- Added smart missiles with strong Anti armor focus
- Deployment shield with thrusters to safely launch bots straight into combat as hard to intercept individuals.

Admirality Project: Relaxo Domes
Soldiers and pilots are human beings, and humans have needs. A need for space to breathe, grass against the soles of your feet in, butterflies to be admired and trees to climb in.
Therefore, the Rest and Recreation Department of the Admirality have been working on the construction of a number of Relaxo Domes, large domestructures filled with greenery that be detached from their host ships if the situation demands it.

Faction Project: Incense Domes (spending 10 influence on this)
The Followers of the Divine Shadow are branching out, an ambitious plan to expand their ability to proselytize unveiled.
The tool: A number of repurposed agri domes, scattered over the EES, their interior now converted into lush gardens where people can stroll bare feet, listen to wind chimes, enjoy the smell of incense and buy overpriced organic green tea in the gift shop.
They are to be a place where the citizenry can assemble for relaxation and fun, the soft spacegrass perfect for a comfortable picnic under the starry sky. In addition there will be various activities hosted by the cult, including meditation sessions, tai chi classes and thetan purging.

The Artificial Gravity drive initiative will not be an easy thing for a lone group to undertake. Your experiments have hopefully so far led to zero deaths, but the financial cost of procuring new materials, losing them in the first test drive and then doing it all over again, well, that's put a dent in the budget. Still, you have made some gains in knowledge by learning from the mistakes so far, at least you now better know what not to do.

The Ministry's project has a similar enough outcome for the first years of the decade. Towards the end, however, the small step is achieved - electrons at last.

It would appear that the mentats are, from a purely genetic standpoint, not that special in and of themselves. Mentat training does appear to work best on some types of people, a natural cream of the crop, who are further enchanted through proper nurture which in turn does lead to some developments in the brain and nervous system that have advanced your understanding of the human body and mind's potential, however, something you could indeed call a "Glimpse into the soul" if you wish - this hasn't immediately produced any great new product, but it is a solid base to work off for future ideas in the sphere.

The Freedombot Mk2, having gone through several development and testing cycles, is now a marvel of robotic engineering and military technology. The goals of the project are achieved and the Mk.2 (Perhaps needing a more defining name now) has a remarkably good cost to power ratio for a combat robot, being something you can confidently mass produce with access to a proper factory.
What you do with this design will determine how much IP you can gain.

As for the reproduction question, you've managed to create three new companions with a consciousness similar to yours, though not yet quite as mature perhaps. Their personalities differ, with a simple explanation being that the 'eldest' is a Straight-laced efficient, helpful yet rather humorless workaholic, the 'middle' being a bit of a recluse, with great computational abilities and rather unorthodox, perhaps nihilistic thinking patterns that are often confusing to read and the 'youngest' being a fiery patriotic spirit with a keener interest than all others in martial affairs, quite hungry for input, perhaps a bit too much.

The Relaxo Dome project comes under a certain amount of scrutiny by members of the legislature critical of the expenditure of funds going into the project. An investigation reveals a not so insignificant amount of corruption going on in the middle layers of the bureaucracy engaged in deals with suppliers of the necessary resources overchanging greatly for their services. The entire project had to be revamped at one point, but it is nonetheless completed. The issues with the domes are how cumbersome and fragile they are, making it a risky for frontline deployment, but they are deemed to be fit for rear line use in a properly implemented rotational system.

The Incense domes on the other hand are a big hit. The old agri domes, now largely unnecessary, are repurposed into useful community spaces that provide value both to the people at large and your order in particular, with membership increasing and the cost of the investment soon being made back with interest.

Antares Galan is given a respected military sendoff as he resigns from his post at the end of 2249. Any material needs he may have had would easily be met, yet his path requires little - passage to Earth is cheaper and faster than ever before and local conflicts in Eurasia have greatly dimmed down. Indeed, it is mostly in and around the Radlands of Ji that one may still see such struggles occuring, with extremist groups and outcasts finding refuge there. Yet it is also a chance for those like Antares to leave the world of space fleets, stellar commerce and galactic politics behind. A chance to live his last lives in a more serene environment, even if it may involve the occasional usage of his tactical skills in the solving of some local tribe's issues, should they seek out the wisdom of the Old Man from the Stars.

Faction Project:

With the war against the Reich raging on throughout the 2240s, the SSS have continued in their attempts to develop more powerful weaponry for ground troops in case of future conflicts. For this, they have decided to engage into renewed attempts to bring laser technology to small arms. Machine guns both heavy and light, sniper rifles, grenades... Any sort of application possible for infantryman use.

They will ensure that the weapon is as efficient as possible by studying all ground operations carried on at Valhalla and other planets held by the nazis, seeing how the CLR-19 is used and how future weapons should be developed with this knowledge taken in.

-Close ties with associate PMCs spread around the EFS
With these close ties, the SSS will do its best to ensure that they also share their studies and knowledge of the ground operations in the space war's ground battles and other conflicts they may be participating in. Knowing what experienced soldiers and officers want for their troops with the new weapons being developed is the most important element.

-Monopoly on CLR-19 production
As always, the SSS provides a well-paying job for any laser technology specialist willing to apply their knowledge to the company's research.

-100 trained military operatives
Some of these operatives will request placement in ground forces of various nations to observe conflicts on the ground and further reinforce the research backdrop for the project.

He praises the state of Cascadia, the newly democratized Bolivaria and the Eurasian alliance, he praises how all countries came together as one in the United Front to face the nazi threat, and how Vallhala was not turned into an occupied zone, but rather given autonomy once more to learn from the horrors of the past and have a new chance to prove themselves.

At the end of the book, he announces his retirement from active politics and from business, and gives a small eulogy to his acquaintance Jean Jacques Dornier and his fallen cousin Vasiliy Chernov. The SSS enters into a lengthy debate over his successor.

Laser tech proves most useful for sniper rifles and continual beam weaponry which offers a somewhat different battlefield role in that a laser adapted to the purpose can be used to suppress an area as an alternative to a machine-gun or if you get a larger pack hooked up to a specialized laser it can act as a drill, if allowed to continually heat up a single spot - mostly usable against more immobile target.

This will allow our civilization to grow its population greatly, while providing homes and places to live for our war veterans and immigrants alike.

The new agricultural drive serves to promote the healthy diversification of our economies further, with projections showing that population growth will be increasing by an estimated 10% in the short term and 20% in long term as new job opportunities may bring some new migrants, but the ability to own land and live in more sparsely populated areas will allow for more native growth. The agricultural sector is expected to experience a boom in the next years with investments flooding in. Economists debate whether this is sustainable in its current form and what might be necessarily to maintain such promising economic trajectories.
Dagda has achieved a stage 1 terraformation, now having a protective atmosphere with breathable air. Surface temperatures will still need time to acclimate to habitable levels, but radiation will soon be low enough as to allow construction.

Additional infrastructure development is proving to be exactly what was necessary - connecting the rural areas to the urban centers makes the former more attractive actually, granting new settlers the chance to live with the best of both worlds as it were. The new industrial projects ensure that manufacturing output continues to grow and we are seeing our per capita productivity rise once more after decades of falling.

The Iron Coalition

"The Iron Within"

Production: 260
100 Terraforming
150 Military
207 Consumer
50 Administration
148 Free

Goals: With victory in the war, the Iron Coalition has formed into the Iron Party. It is focused on maintaining the post-war boom and making life as comfortable, and wealthy, for its citizens as possible.

Election Pledge:

-Manifest Destiny: The Colonisation of a new world and the exploiting of its resources
-The New Industrial act; Construction of much more 'light' industry, for the making of Computers, entertainment systems, refrigerators and all the small amenity's that make life worth living.
-Entertainment: The Holoforum; The next stage in entertainment! From small domes where history can be relieved (you can storm the Trenches of WW1, or have a drink of fermented yaks milk with Genghis Kahn) and films watched in never before seen interactivity (you can be in Casablanca or Star Wars!), while larger stadiums can produce great operatic pieces or Shakespearean plays!
-Terraformation for sale!; If there's one thing Eteranians are good at, its Terraforming, the sooner we can commodify this, the better!
Iron coalition will be splitting its IP at 2 apiece for all of its members.
-Lessons from History...; The creation of a new National Bank, other banks can operate, but are limited to one sphere if its a loan bank, it deals only with loans, if its an investment bank, it deals only with investments, etc to prevent them from ruining the market. We will also offer the major industrial giants an exclusive government premium contract to ensure they always work in the nation's best interest, not the market's.

Part Leader: Szymon Collins, the aged founder of the party who states this will be his last election cycle before retiring to enjoy life with his grandchildren.

The rodeo's first run, back in '49, went all right. It had people from mostly within the nation, but also Eartheners, Martians and some Pavonians. Getting televized did bring some allure to the idea for a second, larger run and attracted sponsors. It was planned for '51, but logistical and climate issues delayed it for next year - this time with confirmation from alien representatives that they would also attend!
It was the 20th of October, 2252 and the Galactic Rodeo was doing quite well, now in its third day. People from across human space had come eagerly, alongside several alien representatives. From the Federation came Mopalan, Zian, Prnusk and Jzoan guests, but tensions would get heated with Raktun visitors from the Stareater Empire also being present. One of the Raktun visitors, supposedly being insulted by a rather drunk gentleman in a cowboy gettup, would go on to defend his honor with a gun, killing the human. Nearby cowboys replied by pulling out replica revolvers and gunning the alien down, which in turn prompted others of his race to take up arms, quickly fleeing to their ship.From it they would launch multiple laser beam attacks upon the festival, destroying property, killing nearly a dozen visitors - including two from the Federation - and injuring thrice as many. Before the planetary defense forces could adequately react to turn the Turtle nexus on that ship, it sped away. Several missiles aimed at it were shot down by point defense, laser strikes were deflected by an energy shield, but it is reported that one kinetic strike may have damaged it, though it did not manage to destroy the vessel. Fighters in pursuit couldn't quite catch up to it as it accelerated at hyper-dangerous speeds before leaving the system.
Suffice to say, the mood at the 2252 Galactic Rodeo was soiled and the aliens from the Federation may have been left with poor impressions, while fear of further alien retaliation is starting to spread not just through Nigel's World, but also the rest of the Extrasolar Free State - and slowly, all human space, as the danger of a single alien ship has been displayed.

A more professional state-funded pioneer force will ensure more efficient terraformation and colonization efforts. Combined with Calibas' new management systems, this has lowered the threshhold for your current major project, while new ones in the future will be even lower cost.

A member of the Zian species, snakelike to the human eye, joined in the public broadcast. In clear English, the diplomatic alien joined the Human League's representative in attempting to address the hysteria, but the event was interrupted by a protesting mob, elements of which leveled accusations against the alien, saying that "These spacesnakes are kidnapping our kids!" among other, naturally unsubstantiated claims. Security teams tried containing the mob, but in order to avoid any violent outbursts the event had to be shut down prematurely and the crowds distanced from each other.

A highly split legislature has, after long deliberation, approved the colonization and terraformation of Eterani III. The world might need a more fitting name in the future. Given its current class - 2/5 - terraforming will need a while even with the latest advancements. Some in the public have been critical of this move as further excessive spending with so much of the economy being directed towards this pursuit.

In order to keep things under control I propsoe we set an indiviudal focus on each world to speed it up and ensure development creep doesnt set in. First to finish should be Dagda so that world can be made at least habitable, then we will focus on New Perth, and finally Eterani three.

That should make things more efficient.

SPACE NEWS:
The Eurasian Alliance, now with a common space presence, has emerged as the uncontested leading power in human politics. New waves of colonization and terraformation bring new systems and planets into human exploitation and habitation almost every year. Rumors say that Eurasia is planning to reach out to alien civilizations in a more official capacity this year as, supposedly, their next step in establishing their dominance over mankind.

With more facilities, funding and personnel, state-sponsored R&D can now be directed by the Minister of R&D towards one free breakthrough per decade, no rolls needed. The Academy will be able to provide more specialists locally, rather than making us as reliant on brain drain as we have been so far.

The New Industrial Act will take 50 production per planet and result in higher per turn growth potential for industry and better trade, but the current budget is already strained and this will take some time to complete.

SPACE NEWS:
UNIDENTIFIED ALIENS have struck Nova Bogota! The first raids occurred in March, being fast strikes that resulted in local defenses and infrastructure being damaged and many kidnappings being reported. The Bolivarian Fleet was dispatched and was present during the second, larger invasion, in May. The fleet was destroyed and ground forces on the colonies were rapidly overwhelmed. Rather than being destroyed or occupied, however, the Bolivarian colonies have instead been ransacked, including the abduction of tens of thousands of civilians at least.Major riots have broken out in the home country in response to the government's inadequacy on top of the nation's general decline in power, relative living conditions and scandals in recent years.

Build the spaceship “Talon”
Our fleet will be reinforced with the addition of a behemoth:
It’s gonna be HUGE, bigger than anything we have in service at the moment. Well armoured, good guns, point defense, advanced sensors, the works.
But most importantly, it’s going to have very, VERY powerful engines. And at the front it’ll have a huge CLAW that can grab hold of hostile vessels. And when it got hold of a target it’ll insert the boarding tubes into the prey, flooding it with hordes of marines. (And just so it’s specified, it’ll have a very big detachment of marines onboard.)

-The Bnaiklan is a lone traveler seeking ancient knowledge all across the universe, it has other objectives he didn't disclose.
-He is 842 years old and has traveled up to 65,000 light year, has been ousted by his own race for leaving their homeworld.
-The Bnaiklans homeworld is located on the other half of the galaxy called hte Scutum-Centaurus Arm, an advanced race that's extremely isolationist.
-The Bnaiklan race is not flesh and need a special exoskeleton suit with long lifespans under perfect conditions, oxygen is their greatest enemy.

-The Chasso, an alien race who feels time equal to height, width, and depth.
-Only live in gas giants
-Can travel the entire galaxy with ease

- Stareater Empire
-A galactic civilization compromised of many races, always embroiled in conflict. Warned that they will likely encroach human territory. Referred to them as "thugs"
-Within them are raiders, marauders, and imperials looking to gain glory.

-Loose international community who often get into disputes
-Another loose international community often at war with themselves
-A federation who stands for peace and commerce

The Alliance of Extraterrestrial States has been formed on the 2nd of December between the ICS, EFS, Valhallan Republic and Columbian Federation.

Unrest in Bolivaria has put the nation into a state of civil war after hard-handed crackdowns from the government failed in curbing riots and instead only fanned the flames. Refugees in the millions are fleeing South America as the colonies of Nova Bogota are left to fend for themselves.

Meanwhile at home, The New Industrial Act's goals have been reached. More job opportunities are open and the EFS now has a truly diverse economy.

While the Vow's coating makes it harder to spot visually or through motion detection, heat and radiowaves are still its vulnerable spots - as it stands, it can make for a fairly stealthy vessel so long as it is used properly, kept still, possibly amid terrain such as asteroid fields - yet its limitations should be known.

Nova Bogota, having declared itself an independent republic, has joined our alliance. No new raids have come upon it recently.


The derelict Algol base has been occupied by a small taskforce sent by the Fleet Admiral, its numbers in the fleet to be replaced by newly commissioned vessels.
While the blueprint for Vow Scouting Ships has been completed, the diversion of free capital into the terraformation project has put the completion of the first two scout ships on the queue. Government spending is putting a heavy strain on the budget.

For the period of 2252-2256, the following parties have received influence from the way the nation has moved.

The Iron Coalition gets +3 IP
The Extrasolar Protection Movemen gets +5 IP
Faithful Eterani gets +1 IP

2256-2260 is the next(current) term so do your agendas.

Now, The Holoforum - a great new age form of entertainment, similar media has been around for years elsewhere, particularly being peddled by the Amazion megacorp, but you are now having your own native models of this tech and products based on it being developed, certainly capable of helping people take the edge off and of course making some profit.
The minor fleet expansion is complete now as well, while terraformation in Dagda and New Perth is practically finished, with the final touches of landscaping being done and what's left being the matter of allowing plant and animal life to grow naturally now. Two new, green(er) worlds in our nation, now able to grow faster both naturally and through immigration.
Eterani III(which will likely soon need a proper name) now also boasts a proper protective atmosphere and is in the process of growing its biosphere.

“A green future is the only future.”

Goals: To ensure a prosperous and eco-friendly future for Extrasolar Free State through sustainable economic development.

Goals within the next years:
-Continue supporting research and development in the Free State
- Push green initiatives such as recycling, green spaces and biocompatible architecture
- Expand the territory of the Extra Solar Free State
- Establish better relations with our galactic alien neighbours.


The party is led by Dr Rodger Wellington of the Selestine Terraforming Commission, a short diminutive pot bellied man with the passion of a lion. He seeks to avoid the pitfalls of rampant industrialization that has led Earth to its precarious ecological state and the brute force terraforming employed on Mars. The League of Expeditionary Gentleman are firm backers of the Green Party as they wish to preserve the natural beauty of Nigel’s World and ensure that Selestine has a robust ecological future!

Varied sports activities are now part of the daily life and culture within the EFS, with sponsorship from the government in part and public campaigns to promote it on the other hand. Sports have always had a special place in the culture of the Eterani colonies, but mostly as a matter of spectacle for most given the conditions in our early history. With green worlds to live on, public health will likely improve, much to the benefit of our welfare programs after taking in so many americans.

SPACE NEWS:
Aliens invade Zhongshan! First sightings in the system reached the rest of mankind on the 9th of June. The small local defense force was actually not engaged by the fleet, which instead menacingly roamed around in the system, sending out cryptic signals in poorly translated English and Mandarin. Once a reinforcement fleet arrived and was joined with the local forces, battle was fought, once more resulting in the total rout of local defenders. A partial evacuation was conducted, but by August - with communication temporarily lost with the colonies there - it is likely that the people of Zhongshan also suffer under an alien whip.
In response, Eurasian politicians have announced plans for major militarization, yet have been rather loathe to outright call on the other human nations to help at this point in time, given the tension between them and the Alliance of Extraterrestrial States.

Skirmisher Ship Radianski Class

We will develop a new type of naval vessel, one meant for quick and easy patrolling and hit and run tactics during wartime, armed with high penetration guns and light armor they are meant for quick action alongside the ability to manage pirates due to their ease of production.

As such it will be a smaller size of a corvette build around a modified laser cannon with an high penetration power. It s provided even with some laser turrets, this modified for a higher rate of fire.
And a powerful engine.

The aims are as following:
- Light armor
- High penetration
- Fast
- Cheap to produce

While in a battle it will need to be' protected by other ship types, it can be' an useful support ship able to create weak points in the foe that our bigger ships can use at their advantage with their weapons.
Instead against isolate targets and not heavily armed targets it can prove deadly in groups.

Deston Armor Technology "Salasteel" mk I

The Deston Group after the conpletation of all their first lines of products, as decided to drastically improve all of them (and thus making them immediatly new marks with such innovation. Mk1>Mk2) with a research for the creation of their very own armor technology.
The so call "Salasteel" mk I (named after Salazar Deston the founder of the group and a forefather of the EFS), is a combination of a super pressed metal league + specialized polymers and a few chosen alloys. What the Group wants to create is an armor technology that can permit an universal incredible protection and high resistance to any type of damage and hazard, be it artificial or natural.
At first this may sound quite daring and impossible, but the Deston Group with is armors as always try to create and give them very resiliant and protective materials. They have experience and knowledge, the Minerva facility for the tech development, and with the use of the spacenet and the aid of some EFS laboratories it might be possible.

If is a success Deston products will receive this new tech, giving them the possibility to update to a new mark.

The current Solar Marshall Javier II has worked with the various planetary marshalls for the construction of proper military forts in EFS colonies, ensuring new fortified points across the planets.

This forts are a small number of heavily fortified forts in our planets with near them new ground defenses networks.

The forts are build in strategic key points of the planets.
The new defenses near them are made of missiles/laser/autocannons/rail guns, giving a mix of different guns.
The planets in which they are build are Selestine, Nigel World, New Perth, Dagda and a few even in Eterani III.

FP: Now having a hangar bay, it was decided that a custom frigate is the only logical thing to fill it up with. As such, the Syndicate has submitted a custom order to the Gallagher-Volk™ shipyards. This frigate is to have enhanced sensors and armed with the most powerful railguns GV can procure. It is to be lightly armored and painted with anti-radar coating. It's engines should be the most powerful ones that can be fitted onto a frigate, together with heatsinks that can be ejected to temporarily lower the ship's heat signature.

PP: Velislav, now having settled in his new position, decided that we have no solid access to the latest technology available in human space. With that in mind, he decided that a good place to start would be to make several trips to Earth and establish connections with the underground world there, especially arms dealers, who can get us samples of some of the more advanced tech that isn't even on the market for us to reverse-engineer.

FP: Continue development and improvements to our Artificial Gravity technology. Though it pains me to do so, perhaps to ease over the budgetary problems we're facing due to the undertaking, we could reach out to spaceflight corporations in search of research grant money. In exchange for the funding, they will be the first to receive the data we collect and can consequently be the first to begin commercially producing the technology. However, under no circumstances will we agree to any exclusivity contract, the research we're doing will be made publically available upon its completion. This is just a preorder, more or less.

R&D Project: The success of our Electron Production should not be understated. It's time for the next step. Our efforts will be directed towards taking 3D printer technology and attempting to adapt it to print on an subatomic particle level. We need to dramatically modify the device to manipulate Electrons, Protons, Neutrons, and the like in order to assemble and disassemble atoms. The first test of this technology's viability will be to see if it is capable of disassembling a glass of water into its component subatomic particles.

R&D Breakthrough: Both the colonies and our technology continue to expand at a massive rate. We need the energy to keep up. Therefore, perform breakthrough research into Energy for this decade.

Faction Project:

Now that the SSS has researched new forms of Laser small arms, it is time to expand the number of factories on Dagda. The objective is to have factories that can produce all types of weaponry close to one another as one closeknit industrial complex in order to simplify logistics. Contracts will be offered to both the EFS and other members of the newly formed Extraterrestrial Alliance to arm their land armies with these weapons.

9 IP will be invested into this project.

Personal Project:

As Alexei Chernov's life is slowly coming to a close, he decides to have one more go with a book where he once more attempts to discuss the relationship between humanity and war - "The Human War". Having retired from active service in the SSS, he decides to compile some of the great modern conflicts of humanity, from the Great War, to World War 2, to the American Nuclear War and the various Space Wars fought during the century of human exploration in space, for each he mentions the objectives of each side and what was accomplished and lost by all sides. In the second half, he retells of his own experiences in the myriad conflicts he participated in as a member of the PMC, both the proxies and the grand all-encompassing wars, in a rather sorrowful manner. At the end of the book, he compiles the names of all the comrades he remembers who fell in battle, calling for their pardon, and counts the number of casualties caused by war since World War 1.

"War is a thing that we all dread and despise, yet it is a tool used again and again by humanity to further the goals of the community, whether it be ideological or resource-oriented or a combination of both. Now, as we fight a war against an unknown enemy, shall humanity finally see the day where it unites as one community for good? Or will we divide once more?"

With support from the Biomi and Kalornsen Technologies companies, Gallagher-Volk has engaged in its own vigorous industrialization of Dagda, purchasing existing industry and inviting foreign investors in to build their own, while setting up office space and homes above ground for its expanding population.
The company has also increased shipping new workers and colonisers from the earth via the newly completed Vow gate to the now fully terraformed Dagda. Union has suggested pulling in and fostering displaced peoples, like the Japanese expat communities, bereft of a home on Earth, offering them a place in the district dubbed "Nova Nippon" on Dagdas capital Settlement "Gallagherscreen".
The company has also increased its production, by taking a commission to construct ships in its orbital Dockyard from whoever is willing to pay the most.
Not only will the population of Dagda skyrocket from these developments, but the economic boom will make it the pride of the extrasolar free state... And maybe line the pockets of Gallagher-Volk.

Personal Project;

A most solemn occasion has fallen on Gallagher-Volk and all Eterani.
Matthew Gallagher, the first Eterani Fleet Admiral and veteran of the Martian Invasion, has died at the age of 101.
Throughout his long career, Matthew saw the creation of the office of the Fleet, including the modernization of its ships and the standardization of training and uniforms following the reformed named after him.
His naval actions included the expedition that discovered the Black Sun Reich and the First Battle of the Demon Star.
After retiring as Fleet Admiral in his official role, Matthew continued to teach upcoming naval officers at the academy where he served as headmaster.
During the Black Sun Reich war, he served as a military advisor before retiring in full at the age of 92.
He spent the last few years of his life on his rural home on Selestine. He never had any children officially, though rumours abound of his many "adventures."

The Gallagher-Volk corp wishes to honour such a mighty man, and so shall design a funeral fitting for him;
-Permission has been granted for a state funeral, so he shall be taken down the main street of Selestines largest City, drawn by horse and gun carriage, the flag of the Free State drapped over it, while members of the Navy escort it. Members of the ICS Navy and Army shall also be invited to attend, to represent the long partnership Matthew had with them, from the Martian Invasion to the Demon Star, to the Black Sun Reich war. Traditional bagpipes from the land of his ancestors shall also be employed to play the funeral melody.
-The coffin shall be carried to his resting place by his family members, the Maseleoum specially built for the occasion will feature a sword-wielding angel in the Brutalists style, while the words "Ultima Ratio Regum" shall be carved into a plaque on it.
-The Gallagher-Volk company shall also set up the Matthew Gallagher fund, sponsoring gifted young individuals from less fortunate backgrounds.
-Every notable from the State and from friendly neighbouring nations shall also be invited, while people are encouraged to come out and pay their respects to one of the last men to have born arms in defence of Selestine itself.

"It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Honorary Chairman Alexei Chernov, founder of Selestine Security Services, has died at the age of 95 after a battle against lung cancer. We will mourn the old Chairman as is due with three days of paid leave for all workers of the Selestine Security Services.

We would also like to inform that he has decided to give half of his wealth to the men that fight or fought for Selestine Security Services, and to the families of those who died, directly or indirectly, due to service in battle for Selestine Security Services. Please send us a communication with definite proof of your field service in the SSS, payment will be due in six months time."

Alexei was buried by his father's side in 2260 after a lifetime of conflict, his casket was wrapped with a flag of the EFS and a flag with the logo of his private military company. His entire family attended the sorrowful evening along with many PMC leaders and veterans who had fought by his side for decades.

He led the commune militias against the invasion of the Bogdanoffs and killed the lead traitor to the EFS cause, founded the SSS private military company, and formed a business venture called Chernov Security Incorporated with other private military companies for the production of laser small arms to be used by infantrymen all around human space, which became an integral part of the industrial economy of Dagda and the EFS military-industrial complex for ground forces. He is also the author of three books: His memoirs "Thoughts of a Private Soldier", his view on the perils of warfare in "Fall and Rebirth of Humanity", and an extensive analysis of the consequences of warfare on humanity with "The Human War".

Although foolhardy and brash during his youth, even leading his PMC in the field many times, age made him more mellow and he soon took a secondary role in the affairs of the SSS to concentrate fully on the business venture related to the production and sale of laser weaponry. After the nuclear war in the Americas, he soon decided to retire from Chernov Security Incorporated and pursued philantropic works by speaking about war and his experiences in many universities across human space and pursuing a political agenda of support for war refugees in his homespace, the Extrasolar Free State. Eventually, his lung cancer forced him to retire from these works and instead focus on his last book "The Human War" during his last few years, which he saw as his final message for humanity as a whole.

According to bystanders, when the light of his life was ending, he could only mutter the names he remembered of the many men that fought and died for his company. His last words were 'Father, I'm home.'

Naval Action;
While many may wish to build bigger ships more quickly, it is Fleet Admiral Saoirse's opinion that we must first construct a sizeable auxilliary fleet if we ever trully wish to be a true fighting force.
In her position, she has begun the construction of this Auxlliary Fleet to be comprised of numerous ships fulfilling different rolls, like;
-'Buffalo' Transport Vessels, designed to carry thousands of soldiers and staff across space with FTL usage. These Transports are often employed not only carrying troops but also a cargo of weapons and vehicles to be used in battle. The armour on these vessels is to be heavily reinforced to protect the valuable cargo, while point defence shall be built in.
-'Eagle' Class Medical Ships, designed to be mobile hospitals to care for the large number of men expected to be lost in campaigns. FTL drives shall be placed on the medical ships, along with point defence and expanded living space.
-'Cobra' Support Ships, equipped with advanced range sensors to detect our enemies and to increase and assist our navies' existing targeting systems, these ships also act as repair vessels for our military ships. The Cobra will also be equipped with FTL drives and Blue Laser/point defence, allowing for it to fight and defend itself.

We shall construct enough of these to service our current fleet and armed forces. (8 Buffalo, 3 Eagle and 8 Cobra)

To provide our colonies with the bandwidth, storage capacity and processing power required for a truly Giga-Industrialized society, the Council for strategic preparedness is laying down some infrastructure. We will start by establishing large server farms in our facilities on Dagda and near Selest. From there we will try to spread out, laying high speed cable to critical points across the planet, establishing secondary data centers, wireless towers and lastly interplanetary communication protocols. This should at large be financed out of our own pocket, but partially pay for itself through usage fees. We hope to establish an industrial level high speed data network across each planet, with limited but reliable connectivity between planets.

As for Prof. CeSS, they are able to gain a great insight into an AI's developmental psychology, one based upon modern quantum computing's organization of data, concepts, associations and learning. Sigmund was in fact a most interesting subject to study as it is debatable to what extent AI is capable of having actual emotions - the biochemical reactions to hormonal releases in a human's brain are simply not a factor unless a developer were to intentionally try and replicate their effect in a machine (which is another interesting idea in and of itself) so the conclusion that was reached was one of the nature of logic and learning - Sigmund's attitude was formed as a result of studying the more "Melancholic" tendencies of great thinkers in the pass and making a somewhat false assumption or rather mixing up correlation and causation, taking on a depressive outlook like those thinkers of old as a way to try and mimic their thought patterns in an ever ongoing evolution in machine learning. Through greater understanding of the complex processes and a thorough discussion of history and philosophy, Sigmund is now able to -if need be- detach himself from the subjective experiences of those humans he sought to imitate. The great difficult lies in knowing what kind of character to adopt for a situation, as in the end an AI will make many calculations, yet its goal remains to provide a single clear answer to the humans it aids.

The advancement of the human mind through your secret project reaches ever greater heights. So far, you'd primarily been working with a "Natural disposition" that at times had been enchanted temporarily with this special incense or that herbal mix, the Order now finds its development of the mind branch into four schools of thought.
The first, the Naturalists, believe that the purity of the human brain must be polished on its own, untarnished by any outer influence, that perfection lies entirely inwards and that spiritual advancement is to go above and beyond any material enchantment.
The Alchemists are the second school, who have developed a potent chemical mixture specifically for the purposes of a mentat's developement and for the optimization of his thought process, though it is also a project still in its infancy, their great pursuit being the perfection of this philosopher's tonic.
The third school, the Machinists believe that the great work the Order has made so far is reaching the limits of man's genetic potential and that the way forward lies through cybernetic enchantment and a merger of man and machine to reach a perfect state of being.
The last group are the Biologists whose goal is to go beyond man's genetic limit by changing just that, the human genome, which they see as the ultimate labour, that of the mind not only reforming its inside, but also its own shell and limit.

These schools of thought are still in their infancy - each school has a leader, but for now most members of the Order are not strict followers of one or the other, being open to the suggestions of any of the four paths. How this structure will evolve - only time can tell.

The combined work of the Order's thinkers has created a martial art that is able to make use of the now improved capacities of a mentat's cognition - a sublime understanding of geometry and physics allowing the user to achieve unmatched accuracy and coordination when wielding two weapons for example or the ability to shut out pain and suffering during battle, a precision of movement that sees near null amounts of wasted effort. Truly, mind and body work together in a majestic way when one has mastered these arts. The various schools of thought within the Order now begin to also develop their own versions of this wonderous martial art, each seeking to play to their advantages.

Elder Hawat's journey to Valhalla proved to be an interesting one, for among the people there he found some who were outright hostile towards any "invader"'s presence, but among others he found not a brutish disregard for outsiders, but rather a congruent native belief system of morals, religion, community and philosophy - a name that has been uttered many times, yet also unexplained to the vast majority of people both on Asgard and across human space - the Black Sun faith. Its presence even after the fall of the would-be Empire is fact, yet one that will require further investigation if it is to be understood.

The project ends up being a bit too ambitious. Frigates are generally not used to fit railguns and with the other advanced equipment you try fitting, it ends up being a bit of a bloated specimen. It works, it flies, it shoots and it can use the heatsinks as intended, but there's just something off about the ship you have now, its size more that of a destroyer.

Velislav endures a bit of an adventure of his own, however, as he delves into the black markets of Wuhan, a place of ill repute that sees him having to fight for his life against cyberaiders, neoshinobi and freakishly mutated abominations. Contact was lost with Velislav for an entire year before he eventually made his way back home, his body bearing many scars and with little in terms of tech to show for it - but with knowledge of many dangers instead.

The development of modern ceramo-metal tech has seen a shift back towards rigidity and hardness in the face of weaponry that would shred lighter armor with ease - but the rules that govern land and space combat are not quite the same. Your first gen Salasteel is a fitting material to use for personal armor, better integrating hazard protection with kinetic resistance than previous tech could, making it quite useful for harsh environment deployment, which is in fact sought out by more than one private security firm out there, engaged in frontier combat on corporate worlds.

The terrorists have so far, unfortunately, managed to evade your investigators' reach.


The planetary forts are well placed to defend against attacks on the primary population centers across the Free State. There's certainly room for improvement, of course, since your budget as Solar Marshall was limited, but their integration into the Turtle Defense Nexus is a fact.

The Zian State has warmly welcomed your cultural exchange program. The humans visiting Zinkara, their lush homeworld, send back reports of marvelous towering cities with immaculately integrated infrastructure stretching from jungle floors to low orbit, lively culture among the people that varies by local culture and class, with a clear distinction being visible - while social mobility is certainly fact, one can not deny that the way of life of the lower classes in their homes is far "closer to nature" than the pristine, elaborate political machinations that are at the heart of the elite's way of life. Zian business, culture and politics have an overwhelming presence in the Federation as a whole relative to their population. Sir Pennysworth's affair with their cultural ambassador to the EFS, Lady Vassadaas, has certainly gotten your old blood flowing in a lively fashion and helped to reveal more about their way of thinking. The good lady fancies Walfrid's persona of a daring, experienced gentleman-explorer, in particular the contrast it holds with the common human, for whom she has a view akin to a zoologist. You learn that there are many like her who view their species as successors to ancient, long-gone civilizations, bearers of a heavy burden to civilize and guide younger species, one that she admits had gone horribly astray with the Raktun of the Stareater Empire.

With sponsorship and partners secured, materials and facilities were now available. Work continued across the years through several mini-breakthroughs until at last working models for proper, sustainable gravity drives were available. The consumption of antimatter fuel is required, but it is now at a far more reasonable, economic pace than early prototypes would have it be, with gravitational cores for stations in particular being easier to maintain, requiring a refuel once or twice a year on average now. This is sure to bring change to the way of life in space.

The adaptation of 3d printing to a subatomic level, however, is occurring slowly, with only failures to show so far, which is still something, knowing what not to do in pursuit of the goal in sight.

The advancements in energy generation supported by the government have seen an integration of new wiring systems into the power supply, the utilization of better batteries, more refined solar power and geothermal plants - the latter being widely used on New Perth - as alternatives to helium-3 fusion; While the structure of energy hasn't been fundamentally changed now, it has been optimized and scientists now begin experiments into new ideas, with particular interest being newly directed towards the science of alien races with the establishment of connections to the Federation.

The coastal areas of California are now an archipelago of nature reserves and fishing communes, while the old Calibas lands are now part of the great redwood megaforests. Distant relatives have been discovered among the current residents, including one cousin thrice removed who tends to the tortoise populations on the southern isles and another one plying a trade as a woodworker, their craft in careful regulation with the locally dominant Greens' aim of preserving the environment.
Fishing in Lake Hollywood was quite relaxing too, you must say. You made good friends, reunited with relatives and brought your family closer together, while the photos from this trip will certainly be treasured alongside the memories and the contacts in the homeland you made.

ESIA government project:

After negotiations betweeb the Blackwell Foundation and ESIA, both sides have agreed to the following:
The Blackwell Foundation will send some of their more promising psionic recruits to be trained by experienced ESIA agents to best utilize their psionic abilities while carrying out clandestine operations. All expenses for that will be covered by ESIA.

FP: Hoping to give access to healthcare otherwise out of reach of the common people, the Blackwell Foundation diverts some of its funds and opens several clinics on Dagda. These clinics will offer incredibly cheap and affordable healthcare so that no one will be unable to visit. A membership must be purchased and renewed once a year. If one cannot outright pay the fee, payment plans can be set up, as the goal is to ensure everyone can afford to come. The clinics will provide mainly simple operations,family planning, and health services to those that need them, with the hopes that more can be added on to the clinics if they prove to be helpful to the communities they’re located.
Personal Project: Erika Elhart, new leader of the Blackwell Foundation and Head Geneticist, spends time trying to woo new investors. Many within the Foundation think she’ll be able to achieve this, saying “She’s such a lovely and understanding person, I don’t know who could resist such charm!”

A section of the most stable, promising psionics have been inducted into this program, being given ESIA training and partnered with other agents for task force purposes.

Through the attraction of new investors, but more importantly a very well managed financial board, the Blackwell Foundation establishes a notable presence on Dagda with its clinics providing quality, affordable healthcare services to the growing population, attracting no small amount of people to in turn support or join the foundation when they can, whilst the colony's growth rate increases even further as a result.
