2nd History of the United Nations of Sol


Christopher

Recommended Posts

A time ago I started this thread:

http://www.herogames.com/forums/topic/93386-history-of-the-united-nations-of-sol/

 

Well, the game just received a major update (1.1.0) wich affected this faction quite a bit. And I know a whole lot more about the mechanics this time around. Let's try this again. The alternate History of the UNS is about to begin.

 

2200.01.01:

We make our Journey into the stars. The players:

President Dolores Muwanga (29). Next election 2205.

Arjin Kulkarni (38), Governor of Earth

Montgomery Resse (47), Deep space Survey Corps.

 

Shi Zhao (40), Aplied Physics Division Leader

Dhruv Acharya (30), Soceity & Colonisation

Martin Shephard (33), Engineering

 

Admiral Crispin Dyson (36), leader of the Military Expiditionary Forces

 

Usual Stuff:

Start survey of Sol. Order Admiral and fleet to look into the nearby systems.

2200.12.01:
We surveyed the nearby systems. While we found 4 systems with habitable planets, only Sirius (west) and Iolam (North-west seem promising candidates for colonisation.
Alpha Centauri (east, inside territory) might be an option later.
The Continental world in Ambor (north-east) is to small to be interesting except in a pinch or as strategic outpost.

The fleet continues exploration for inteligent lift to the west.

2202.05.20:
Aside from another possible habitable Planet in Vilth we have not yet found anything of interest in the west. Certainly no intelligent alien live.

2202.10.09:
The possible Iolam colony turned out to have very unstable tectonics, but also a strong magnetic field. This would be interesting for scientists of many fashions.

2203.10.13:
Alien life is closer then we thought, but not as far as we yet. In Alpha Centaury Survey efforts unveiled a Pre-Sentient species way on thier way to a culture creating Sentient.

2205.04.26:
Dhruv Acharya  - former Soceity lead researcher - was elected president of the UNS
Newcommer Aya Hamidi takes his post in the science Divsion

2206.01.23:
With the UNS Shinorhara our first Colony ship been finished in Earth Spaceport. Thier goal will be Sirius.

2206.11.19:
The west has oficially been declared "bereft of advanced alien life".
While there might still be pre-sentient species and pre-space age civilisations out there on close survey, nothing spacefaring has been found so far. Admiral Dyson is send to investigate the North, east and souther regions around sol a bit farther afield.

2207.04.12:
Finally a first clear sign of intelligent, alien Life. North in the Kimithar System a Ship clearly of alien design was seen surveying the planets.

2207.05.15:
While looking for the home planet to the north, another Spacefaring Civilisation has been discovered. Efforts to establish contact with both species are underway.

2207.07.01:
The Colony Toyotomi in Siruis is up and opeartional. The President is looking into further Opportunities to colonize to the west.

2207.11.17:
Contact with both nothern Civilisations has been established. Both turned out to be slightly Spiritualistic.
The Hadadeshi have a Theocratic Republic and a clear preference for Desert Planets. They value Freedom as much as we.
The Djomar favor Continental worlds just like us, wich will propably be a problem. The race to grab as many Continental planet as possible might be on now. Luckily they are Fanatically peacefull, so conflict seems unlikely.

2209.01.08:
We found a Iron Age Civilsiation to our west in the Voldop System. Thier Ethos matches ours. We will consider placing a Observation outpost to study them later.

2209.03.27:
The Bavi League contacted us today. There are a Freedom seeking bunch of Scientists.

2210.07.01:
President Dhruv Acharya has been re-elected.

2211.01.20:
Rivalry has been declared between the Bavi and Djomar People. Tensions between both people are hot.
This is equally likely to be because thier different views on Technology and thier proximity.

2211.04.12:
A new intelligent contact to our south, and within a mere 2 Jumps of Sol. It appears we found thier Home system and they are arctic dwellers.

2211.08.02:
With Asgard in Dawson System a Colony far to the west has been established.
This should allow closer observation of both the Stonage People on Dawson and the early space age, tundra dwellers in Braddam.
However the Braddam civilisation is cause for concern, as it appears they are Xenophobic. Thier contact with alien life especially so close by could drive them into a violent Frenzy.

2211.10.16:
We have made contact with the Screk to our south. They are ruthless opressors of thier people, even if it appears they do not use force on the outside.

2212.02.11:
Today President Acharya made clear statements that the "Opressive Regime of the Screk people will not be tolerated".

2213.05.07:
With Horizon in Iolam our 4th Colony has been established.
Vilth will be our next target of colonistaion.

2215.10.01:
Dhruv Acharya has been re-elected as president a 2nd time.

2216.06.19:
With the UNS Macau the first partially Privately Funded Colonyship has left earth spacedock. It will now go to Vilith in order to curb any Screk expansion into our space.

Let's give the universe a picture or two:

post-15884-0-73538900-1465099329_thumb.jpg

North is full of Fanatic Individualists in various Flavors:

green, dark: The Hadadeshi have Spiritualism mixed in

purple, lighter: The Davi have materialism mixed in

 

purple, darker: The Djomar are Fanatic Pacifists/Spiritualists.

green, lighter: To the south there is the Screk state. Fanatic Collectivists and Pacifists, they are a pretty good opposite. A change of Government might be in order. Luckily now liberation war can affect the capital planet as well.

 

post-15884-0-62038400-1465099670_thumb.jpg

I had to place the far west Colony in Dawcan because the Bavi had taken the Gaia class planet in Cazzabius and there were too many enticing planets around that. Vilth and Grekil systems might be used to complete a path.

Without me noticing the Bavi Declared war on the Djomar.

2221.01.01:
Dhruv Acharya has been confirmed a president of hte UNS yet again.

2223.09.09:
Not often does Discovery come to us. The Surveyship O'hare was hit not by meteorides, but stray Massdrivershoots from another galaxy! It looks like Sir Isaac Newton really is a pretty dangerous guy in space.

2225.03.08:
A lone comet passed through Sol. In a suprise development groups have hailed this as a good omen for our Individualist and Freedom base soceity, wich should positively affect moral on earth.


2226.04.01:
President Acharya was voted into office yet again.

2226.06.01:
Space Piracy!
The Pirate group "Death Pact" just made a bloody debut on the local Galactic scene. Ships are being send to stop them.

2227.10.22:
A new faction contacted us today. From south of the Screk, the Trakpocian life.
They share our Ethos, however with inverted priority.

2229.10.10:
The Bavi League has sucessfully annexed the Djomar. The laters empire is no more.

2230.11.14:
The groundwork for a new improved Corvette production in Sol Spacedock has been laid today.

2231.07.01:
A political shift happened today. After a close race Gaston Gagnon replace Dhruv Acharya as president.

2232.09.13:
The Hadeshi League invited us into a alliance Today. We respectfulyl declined, as we still have unresolved matters with the Screk government to our South and the buildup of the fleet is about to begin.

2232.10.18:
We decided to against assiting the Menjeti in thier final step into the stars. If thier Government should turn out problematic our fleets should be able to deal with it either way.

2234.03.05:
What appeared to be a interesting Lightshow on a Frozen moon in the Landeen System turned out to be quite beneficial for military applications.
Apparently the wreckage of the core a blue-spectrum laser weapon had been caught in the ice, leading to the unusual Lightpatterns but without any chance to melt the ice. This weapon prooved superior to our current red laser, leading to immediate re-designs of our Corvette model.

2235.09.20:
Another alliance invite by the Hadeshi League was declined today.

2236.01.11:
The buildup of our Corvette fleet to almost 30 units is complete. The war to Liberate the Screkian people from thier orpessive regime has begun.*

2236.08.27:
After a succefull attack on the port in Vilth, the enemy fleet was heavily damage by the 1st Fleet under Admiral Dyson. The fleet returns to Sol for repairs.

2236.10.01:
Dhruv Acharya has again be elected as President. No mayor changes in External Policy are to be expected.

2236.12.27:
With the UNS Hangzou the first Destroyer of the Campbell class leaves the Drydock.

2237.04.18:
The Pirate group "Death Pact" struck again today. However they picked Iolam System as target, wich brought them into quick conflict with the Horizon Shipyards. They suffered a crushing defeat as a result.

2237.05.01:
With the 2nd McCampbell Destoryer Melbourne and all repairs finsihed, the fleet now once again looks towards the Screk Miltiary forces.

2238.04.04:
After destorying the Orbital port, the Fleet goes into bombardment position for the Screk colony in Vhallas.
General Radomir Ostrovsky is send with the first 7 Planetary Invasion Armies for the ground combat part, while 5 further Invasion armies are being Recruited on earth.

2238.11.22:
The Planetary defenses in Vhallas have been annihilated. The troops begin the landing.

2239.01.16:
Fighting was hard, but the last Forces loyal to the current regime have been defeated. Vhallas has been taken from the enemy.

2239.05.16:
A suicidal ground attack on Vhallas was finally repelled today.

2239.08.11.
After the failed ground attack the enemy fleet was intercepted in the Vhallas system and utterly destroyed.

2239.10.23:
The Rax'Thalak Coalition communicated with us today. While thier Diplomats were friendly it is obviously that we do not have anything in common with thier Religious Zealous ways. Conflict seems at least likely.

2240.02.03:
After heavy combat the fleet managed to dislodge the enemy Orbital defenses over Screkan, the enemy home planet in Baccotri System. The fleet goes into bombarment position.
The UNS Hangzou was destroyed in this battle.

2241.04.21:
After over a year of Orbital and Amospherical asssaults, the Planetary defenses on Screkan are finally weakened enough for a successfull ground attack.

2241.06.05:
Screkan has been taken. Surrender of hte curretn Screk Government is imminent.

2241.06.26:
The Screk State officiall surrendered today. The new Screk Mandate takes it's place.

2242.01.01:
Dhruv Acharya has been re-elected as president.

2243.05.08:
The Death Pact base in the Deres systems has been found and destroyed, finally putting a end to thier assaults on our Civillians.

2244.08.15:
We established communication with a new Spacefaring Species. The Rek'Thalar are lead by a Xenophobic Sciencetist Comitee. Luckily they are Under the control of the Hadadeshi League.

2245.03.10:
The Menjeti reached the stars and the Elements we feared to were the ones that took control.
We decided to replace thier Government asap and make them a protectorate.

2245.12.23:
On term president and longterm Governor of Asgard Gaston Gagnon died at the age of 65 today.

2246.01.03:
The Menjet have surrendered after a short war. A new Democratic Government was installed that accepted the offer to become our Protectorate.

2246.04.20:
After the Primitive Dawcan Civilisation finally left the stone age for the Bronze Age, a observation post was established. Them reaching the stars in the lifetime of our Civilsiation seems unlikely at best.

2246.07.21:
The Tiyal Galactic Combine contacted us today. They appear to be a Despotic empire to the far north of our Galaxy.

2246.09.18:
The Systems around Sol were organised into the "Earthward Sector".
Governor Miato Miura was tasked with turning the planets into a dedicated Research centre of the UNS.


2247.04.01:
Dhruv Acharya has been re-elected as president once again, at the age of 77.

2247.05.11:
With teh UNS Knossos the first Colony Ship in several decades has left the Earth Drydock. It's target will be the far-west System of Shukon.

2248.04.01:
We finally accepted the Alliance offer of the Screk Mandate.
The Star Alliance is formed.

2248.07.07:
Lead Scientist (physics) Shi Zhao deid today at age 88.
Aya Hamida switches over from Social, while newcommer Migeul Sanchez takes her place there.

2248.12.27:
The UNS Australia reached the Grekil System and begins landing colonists on the planet.

2248.01.08:
So far our Colonisation was tied to the whims of natural development of planets. That is no longer the case. We have unlocked the technology needed to terraform planets. However the process itsellf will still take decades to complete and massive amount of resource on every affected planet.

2249.06.11:
The alliance "Condign Concord" contacted us today.
It consist of two very similar states (Collectivist, Pacifist, Spiritualist), the Kingdom of Dojack and the Hahn-Mur Divine Mandate.
They are beyond the Galactic core in the North-East part of the Galaxy.

2250.05.16:
Admiral Crispin Dyson - hero of the Screk, Menjeti and Death Pact conflict died today at the age of 86.
Newcommer Awande Balewa Takes hte post.

2250.05.26:

Lead Engineer Martin Shephard died today. Newcommer Charlotte Lebouef(31) takes over the job.

2250.10.06:
Under Aya Hamida the longterm Project of a new Generation of Warpdrives has been completed. Ships are already ordered to return for refits all across the UNS.

2252.07.02:
Dhruv Acharya has been once again re-elected as President.

2252.11.07:
A social Wellfare programm has been enacted today.


Footnotes:
*one of the nicest changes in 1.1:
I can finally Liberate the enemy Capital Planet. No more "leftovers" in the middle of what I liberate. I can overthrow a primitive Goverments to make them my protectorate - and get them to convert thier people to my Ethics for me, before I Vassalise them.

Persons of Note in 2253:

Dhruv Acharya (83), President of the UNS. Former Soceity Lead Researcher
Dolores Muwanga (??), Original UNS president in the pre-space age. Not seen since being voted out of office.

Minato Miura (36), Earthward Sector Governor
Arjun Kulkarni (91), Governor of Earth

Aya Hamidi (84), Applied Physics Studies
Alexander Beauclerk (64), Applied Social Studies*
Charlotte Lebouef (34), Applied Engineering Studies*
Miguel Sanchez (41), Deeps Space Survey Corps*

Admiral Adande Balewa (51), Lead Admiral
General Radomir Ostrovsky (59), Lead General
 

*These 3 will switch around a bit. Science ships are still the ideal place to train up new scientists.

 

Situation:

post-15884-0-60502000-1465308551_thumb.jpg

The Situation is mostly secure. the UNS ocupies a long stretch of space in the south-east part of the galaxy.

Purple: To the North we have the imensily Powerfull Bavi League (Fanatic Individual, Materialist). Luckily thier mood towards us is "protective". What appears to be a outrunner straight through our territory is actually the Protectorate of the "Republic of Braddam".

Dark green. North east we have the Hadadeshi Confederacy (Fanatic Individual, Spiritual). I am somewhat uncertain how to deal with them. Liberating/Conquering and inviting them into the alliance seems equally interesting.

Dark Blue: To the south we have the Screk Mandate. While our ally they are still extremely beat up from the Liberation war.

Dark Red: The League of Trakocian Planets is another big power.

 

Overall the Bavi are our local superpower. While the Trakocian and Hadadeshi are the 2nd strongest. And I would like to become somewhat powerfull myself.

2253.11.19:
In the Voldop System near the Bavi Border we detected long ago a indignous Iron Age species.
The Jakly would make a excelent addition to the UNS both strategically and philosophically. The process of uplifting them into the space age has been greenlit by President Acharya. It is expected to take nearly 3 decades, however.

2253.11.21:
A research Agreement has been signed with the Screk. it is sheduled to only last the same time as the current Migration treaty.

2253.04.13:
Lead Physicist Aya Hamidi died today at the age of 86.
Newcomemr Francesco Oliviery (33) takes the position.

2253.08.13:
A unknown adversary to the south declared war on the Bavi today. It is unclear who would ahve the audacity to awaken a sleeping giant like them.

2257.07.12:
A new Election has begun and it appears that Voters will prefer a new President - Alexander Beauclerk.

2257.08.27:
The First "Hyper Entertainment Forum" was completed on Asgard (Dawcan) today. While easily draining the power a whole powerplant by itself, it does offer unprecedented Leisure actitivites for our population.

2257.09.23:
Dhruv Acharya died today at teh age of 87, during the Election Campaign.
That makes Alexander Becauclerk a praticalyl guaranteed winner of this Election.

2257.10.01:
As expected Alexander Beauclerk was elected President. His mandate is to drastically improove mining operations across UNS space.

2258.09.23:
After recent breakthroughs in Galactic Adminsitration, President Beauclerk started planning a set major reform of our Government. "Democratic Utopia" as the scientists put it is effectively a better version of hte Indirect Demoracy we already had.*

2259.05.01:
On earth work on the new "Empire Capitol Complex" has begun. A byproduct of the same reserach that Yielded "Democratic Utopia", the works are expected to take way over two years.

2259.08.12:
In the North-eastern quadrant of the Galaxy the Coalition of Hissitar declared war upon the bordering Condign Concord.
Sucess by the Hissitar in thier Xenophobic eradication camapgin seems very unlikely.
Meanwhile it appears teh Bavi have lost thier war against the unknown agressor. They continue not being willing to talk about what exactly happened to them and thus who has such power is unclear.**

2260.05.15:
To better prepare for two new colonies to the east, the St. Yegorov Sector has been formed. It's focus will be energy production and Governor is Newcomemr Ying Mao.

2260.10.21:
The Colonyship Sri Lanka reached the eastern Terzam System.
Meanwhile the Rax'Thalak Coalition has been steadily expanding towards the western part of the galaxy.

2261.08.04:
The same week our Terzam Colony has bee established, work on the new Larbo colony has has started.

2261.11.11:
The long planned reform to a Democratic Utopia has been finished. A considerable Upsurge in new Leader skill is expected as a result.

2262.02.29:
With teh UNS Angola the last Colony ship for a while leaves earth spacedock. It's target will be Alpha Centauri in the Scientific Earthward sector. Actually building up that colony will be left to the Governor of the region Minato Miura.

2264.02.18:
After decades of delay due to the difficulty of gathering the nessesary resources, the Terraforming of the Yolta Ic has begun.
The aim is to turn the mostly tropical planet into something closer to earths mixed biomes.

2265.06.24:
Ira Venktaesan and Tian Liang have been hired as Governors of the western colonies.

2265.11.07:
Rax'Thalak's rapid expansion seems to be looked at nervously in the far east as well.
The Spiritualist Governments of the catlike Photecian and the Anthropoid Xanyr formed a alliance with a 3rd, unknown entity. The name is the "Istaccin'uk League".
It seems likely that the Rax'Thalaks religious fervor will be turned on us sooner rather then later.

2266.11.13:
After a unusually long time in office due to the slight changes in our Government, it is once again Election time. However Alexander Beauclerk is highly expected to be re-isntated.

2267.02.11:
As expected President Beauclerk has been re-elected

2269.10.02:
Major Breach of passive Observation Protocolls in Dawcan. Smugglers and other Criminals have created a outpost on the planet with the Native Population. The 12th Assault Army is send from Earth to remove thier presence as quickly as possible.


2270.06.12:
The Raid on the Smugglers nest was a total success. The surviving enemies have been deported into orbit, the building destroyed and the proceeds confiscated.

2270.09.01:
It appears the long expected Rax'Thalak invasion of the west finally happened. They just declared war on the Rek'Thalar and thus thier Hadadeshi overlords.
While the expected loss of life is highly regretable, one can hope this will finally convince the Hadadeshi and Trakpocian to join the Star League to defend agaisnt further agression.

2272.02.24:
With only two years of Terraforming left on Yolta Ic, Another projects has been started at Barnards Star.

2272.05.11:
Alexander Beauclerk has once again been re-elected as president.

2272.07.07:
A new Galactic Stock Exchange has been build on earth. The results for energy/money creation will be substantial across the entire UNS.


2272.10.28:
The 2 Braddam colony ship just reached a system with a Tundra planet. However there are still no signs that they will go beyond vassal state anytime soon.

2273.04.16:
Earth Governor Arjun Kulkarni died today at the age of 111.
Newcommer Wen Mao takes over.

2274.02.22:
Terraforming in the Yolta System has been completed.


2274.11.10:
Once again the Fallen Empire "Zum Forerunners" declared war on teh Bavi for taking a system with thier holy planet in it.

2277.08.11:
In another uneventfull Election, President Alexander Beauclerk was re-elected once again.

2277.11.28:
President Alexander Beauclerk died in office today, at the age of 88.

2278.02.28:
Francesco Oliviery (56) was Elected President of the UNS.

2278.10.24:
The Fanatically Zealous minor Shantari just made a inssurection for indipendance against the Hadadeshi and the other 2 Vassals.

2279.10.07:
Due to shifting borders we had lost access to part of the resources needed for terraforming. But today we signed a Trade Agreement with the Trakpocian for exactly those missing resources.
Terraforming in Waiphrid has begun.
The Larbo System Ocean world is soon to follow, once the nessesary energy has been accumulated.

2281.04.25:
It looks like the Screk will not be able to catch up to us. These problems are likely caused by thier very limited expansion room. Plans are being made to turn them into a Vassal instead of a alliance partner and seek alliances with some of the stronger powers in the vicinity.


Footnote:
*Advanced Government forms basically just give twice the bonus of the basic one. But need reserach to unlock. However I need to gather the Influence for the switch first (1/4 of the max).

**They had the "Humiliated" debuff on pops. Wich means it was a fallen empire that took umbrage with something they did. And they failed to win.

Reptilians originally hailing from the Dessert Planet Rax'Thalaki.

They are Evangelist Zealots (a very agressive AI type) organsied in a Mega Corporation (Advanced; avalible for just about anyone; just some flat bonus to Money and Mineral income).

 

This is a picture of the whole known Galaxy:

South/west quadrant:

post-15884-0-38511000-1465392132_thumb.jpg

The only real power in the Quadrant are the Trakpocian

My Braddam/Menjeti protectorate has continued to expand, but without leaving protectorate status so far. Integrating them will be tricky the longer they take to catch up/the more they expand up until then.

The Screk I will have to intagrate, one way or the other. They are just too weak and if they insist on independance they will only shatter the Unity of our Quadrant even more.

 

South/east quadrant:

post-15884-0-17910100-1465392512_thumb.jpg

To truly understand Rax'Thalak power, you have to look into this Quadrant. They own most of it.

The other two powers in the region are teh Photecian and Xanyr - both Spiritual Seeker AI types wich formed a Istaccin'uk League (alliance) for self-defense. That alliance is at war with 2 Factions in the region, most likely minor powers that will soon be overrun.

 

North/east:

post-15884-0-56599500-1465392807_thumb.jpg

The big power here are the Dorbolan Guardians - Fallen Empire that will not abide alien enslavement or purging.

A new stream of Ethoses has been conquering this Quadrant. Collectivst/Pacifist/Spiritualist has a very high ability to convert conquered people. Either the Mura and Dojack developed that independantly, or one "Liberated" the other to that idea. In any case they are the Condign Concord.

The fungoid Hissma tried to attack them during thier "Fanatical Purification" goals. The end result was that most of thier planets got a similar Government installed. Confederacy of Adar is all that is left of them, with Hissma Star League thus far staying indepedant of thier liberators.

 

North/west:

post-15884-0-80504900-1465393163_thumb.jpg

The really big power here are teh Zum Forerunners- Fallen Empire that jsut wants those lesser species to keep away from thier holy planets.

The Bavi just keep pissing them off regulary and keep getting bloody face tentacles for doing so. (I can not figure out if this is a oversight in the "don't piss off the fallen" routines or a intended conflcit due to Fanatic Spiritualist/Materialist difference).

The Hadadeshi have been gutted by the war with Rax'Thalak. What is left tries to counter the violent independance movement of the Shantari.

The Quira Binam are human looking aliens, with a "Honorbound Warrior" Culture. They will seek out strong adversaries to fight. They have yet to pick a fight with the Uthabulan or Condign Concord (each of wich have pacifist tedencies.

The Uthabulan are also Fanatic collectivists, wich means we might have to deal with them later.

UNS space in detail:

post-15884-0-55705400-1465393758_thumb.jpg

Larbo, Terzam and (soon) Waiphrid will be part of the Western bullwark.

 

In Voldop under Amgathorra the uplifting of the Jakly is finally nearing completion (months).

If I can manage to mix thier people "into" my populations, they would make extremely good Defensive Armies due to a trait. I might even be able to get rid of that border outpost without giving the Bavi too much space.

 

 

post-15884-0-74666100-1465394072_thumb.jpg

The far west is getting more and more dominated by the Braddam/Menji people.

But I hope they leave Protectorate status soon, so I can start to intagrate them.

We left the alliance with the Screk, effectively disolving the Star Alliance.
They will not accept any Vassalsiation within the next 10 years.

2281.07.08:
It appears the Shantari have lost thier Independancy War the Hadadeshi. A Hadadeshi puppet Government has been installed.
It should not take long to invite them into the alliance so we can retake the colonies "liberated" by the Rax'Thalak.

2281.08.16:
The new Shantari goverment ask to be a protectorate of the Hadadeshi today and was accepted. While the population will have some issues with the new government, another uprising seems unlikely.

2281.09.02:
The technological Enlightenment of the Jakly has been completed. They now officially join us in the stars as our Vassal*

2282.02.27:
The terraforming in Barnards Star is completed. At the same time, the terraforming in Larbo has been finished.

2282.08.05:
New Athrophology data revealed something marvelous. After loosing thier ancenstral home in the Rax'Thalak invasion, the Hadadeshi named one of thier colonies - Valk Kunor - as thier new capitol.
However this new planet is shared with a species of pre-sentient Fungi that have extreme resistance to radaition. Plans to find something worth trading for the planet are being made.
Taking the lost colonies and tranding them would be most beneficial, but for the time being the Ba'Vababa are under protection of the Rax'Thalak. It will run out 2290.06.13.

2282.10.06:
The Wellfare programm has been temporarily suspended in order to get more people to migrate onto the Jakly Homeworld of Ligira.

2282.11.02:
Lawchanges have been enacted that allow non-humans to become leaders in the UNS both military and civilian branches. Even Presidency is not impossible.
However this resulted in a unexpected outcry among various groups on various planets. Apparently Xenophobic tendencies has grabbed hold on various planets.

2283.05.28:
Despite new groups forming in reaction to certain recent decisions, Francesco Oliviery has been re-elected as President.

2284.09.05:
In response to a Xenophobic motivated dissdent Movement on Asgard in the Dawcan System, Governor Alfonso De Vargas has been put in charge of the planet.
Asgard is well know to be the center of Scientific reasearch in the UNS.

2285.03.02:
Diplomatic Insults have been flying back and forth the UNS and Ba'Vababa Government. The hope is to goad them into a first strike, so the Rax'Thalak does not enter into the fight.

2285.10.03:
The Wellfare programm has been once again initiated.
The additional funding for Education in proper interspecies relations is being continued, in hopes of reminding even the most diehard Xenophobics what our Government stands for and what made it great.

2285.05.13:
Destroyers have long been a staple of our fleet. Even the introduction of cruisers was hardly worth mentioning. But now with the UNS Defiant we have the first, true battleship.
A massive longrange and supportvessel, the Defiant will the Flagship for Admiral Adande Balewa and her 1st Fleet. Two more ships are sheduled to follow, with the 1st already being build.

2287.04.01:
Rumors have begun Circulating that Alfonso De Vargas has a Drug habit. No official comment from the UNS has been given in response.**

2287.10.27:
In a action that seems to lack any logic, the Ba'Vababa Splinter state just declared war on a Vassal of the Hadadeshi and thus thier parent civilisation. Military analists consider it "highly propable" that the original Hadadeshi Faith will be able to re-establish control over the colonies without any Rax'Thalak interference.
What exactly will happen once the integration of the Meko'Nass is completed by the Hadadeshi is unclear.

2288.05.01:
Admiral Awande Balewa died at the age of 86 today.
Admiral Zeinab Farrokhzad (48) takes over as teh leader of the 1st Fleet.

2288.06.07:
This Election Cycle sees a close race between current President Francesco Oliviery and Migeul Sanchez, another researcher. Nobody is willing to make any precise predictions who will win.

2288.08.28:
After a close Race Migeul Sanchez takes over the Post of UNS President.
Francesco Oliviery in turn returns as Social Science minister, making this effectively a switch of posts.

2289.03.12:
After a long time our fleet has been reinforced and updated. Led by the Battleships Vigilant, Defiant and Yamamoto they are a force to be reconed with.

2290.06.16:
For some reason the Hadadeshi have failed at having a Decisive Victory over thier Rax'Thalak created spliterground. However the Guarantee of Independance ran out now and during wartime the Rax will not be able to renew it. The time to grab a few border colonies and hopefully trade for the new Hadadeshi capital has come.

2290.12.20:
In anticipation of the new worlds, the Westward sector has been formed.
It encompases the Terzam, Larbo and Waiphid Systems, wich will soon be 4 coloniesed worlds.

2291.04.29:
The Ambor System has been taken by our forces.

2291.11.25:

2293.12.06:
In the midst of the War Chaos, Migeul Sanchez has been re-elected as President. It seems likely that he will have the popular support for many elections to come.

2294.09.30:

Dai Yang has been placed as leader of a 2nd Deep Space Survey Corp.

2302.02.19:
East of the Eartward sector the Ligira Sector has been formed. For the time being only Ligira itself is in this sector, but there are several promising planets for later Colonisation.




Footnotes:
*Huh. Apparently using Enlightement gives them the techbase to instantly be a Vassal. That means I can integrate them within 10 years, when the Integration lockout has run out.

**Random Negative Traits. One of them is "Substance Abuser", wich shortens lifetime.

Only in my sector have there been any changes.

post-15884-0-13970000-1465492442_thumb.jpg

The border to the Hadadeshi has changed considerably.

Firs the Rax'Thalak swooped in, isntalling a puppet government in the east and south stretches of the Hadadeshi.

Then that puppet Government started a solo war against the Hadadeshi.

During that war I took Ambor, Heka and Tiralam for the puppets. The Hadadeshi main state installd a puppet government in the remaining systems.

That I then toppeled to create the Hadadeshi Assembly.

My plan is to take Lyctabon for myself and hand most other systems over to 'my' Hadadeshi State.

 

The Screk are a bit too big to Vassalsie in war. I will ahve to shrink them when attacking the Galactic Concord.

 

Cothium will continue to be a Rax'Thalak colony until and when I can attack them. Then it will be handed over to the Hadadeshi.

It appears the Rax are using Wormhole FTL technology wich might be abuseable in a attack to neutralise the sheer power of thier fleet. A few mobile raiding fleets could wreak Havok on thier FTL network.

 

I will not be able to post for about 1 week from now. Have to go to a Wedding as guest.

I've been reading the reviews and it looks like big improvements will occur with the Asimov update. I'm going to wait until then too.

It is a Paradox game. Once they are finished with Patching, they start churning out the DLC. So they are only finished if no new patch or DLC is released.

 

But post-Asimov is as good a place as any to join us among the Virtual Stars.

The Uplifting of the Pre-Sentient Otaga in Lyctaban has begun. It is expected to be over in about 3 months.

2316.03.05:
The Uplifting of the Otaga is complete, but they are off to a Rocky start. Still due to thier highly increased intelligence it is very likely they will adapt.
Meanwhile certain physical properties of the Hadadeshi have prooved highly Repugnant for other species. During future Genetic Adaptation those traits will be lessened to better coexist with other species settlers on thier planets. We start with the ones on Otaga Prime, Lyctaban system. A duration of 4 months is expected.

2317.07.04:
Genetic Modification of the smaler half of the Hadadeshi Population has been completed, greatly increasing relations with the Uplifted Otaga Natives.
Now begins the much harder process of changing all those Hadadeshi habitants of the Arid Planets. This is expected to take over a year in total.

2318.08.03:
The Genetic Modification of the final Hadadeshi Colonsit has been completed. They can now be fully integrated members of our Soceity.

2320.01.01:

True, self aware AI.
A long held dream that is now a reality. Researchers under Dieter Schmidt finished works on truly sentient reserach AI.

2322.05.12:
A new fallen empire contacted us today - the Djun Shard. And they are not happy at all about our reserach into aritificial intelligence. They gave us a clear Ultimatum the either stop all reaserach, or face thier fleets. We do not think our forces are ready to incur thier wrath yet so we had to grudungly accept - for now.
They are effectively forcing us to dismantle every Robots we have build so far.

2322.11.12:
The dismantling of all Droids in the UNS has been completed. This regretable decision was forced upon us the by Djun Shard.

2323.03.02:
The process of developing Avalon, Illex System, Earthward Sector revealed a "Odd alien factory".
It has been integrated into the production of the colony.

2325.02.19:

2327.12.29:
After heavy battle the main Confederacy fleet has been defeated in Bazkarat System. Reinforcements are already being produced.

2328.11.10:
The Robotic Invasion legions - interestingly not subject to the Djun Shards demands - have reached the Bazkarat System and begun with teh ground invasion.
The Fleet continues to the two Colonies in Yrogglia.

2330.08.28:
One again Miguel Sanchez has been confirmed as leader of the UNS.

2331.02.20:
After the Support Fleet under Admiral Sharon Biggs has moved from the non-existant South front to the Hadadeshi front, groundtroops can finally be savely moved to new targets.

2331.09.05:
Despite heavy resistance - inlcuding 2 newly Developed Gene Warrior armies - the first Yrogglia colony has been taken.

2332.04.16:
The Ground Assault on the 2nd Yrogglia Colony has begun. However success in one attempt seems highly unlikely. Return tothe other colony for recuperation and re-production is considered as longterm strategy.

2332.06.12:
The first Genewarrior Army of the allied Hadadeshi joined the invasion.

2332.07.23:
All regular defense troops have been defeated and dispersed. However the enemy Hadadeshi Gene Warriors continue to fight against impossible odds.

2332.08.14:
The Invasion succeeded, but in a final push the enemy Gene Warriors eliminated one of our Robot armies. A new Psi Corps army is being produced on Earth to repalce it.

2334.01.21:
The Ground invasion of the Thegglan Colony has been started.

2334.04.24:
In large part due to the help of allied Hadadeshi Gene Warriors, the colony has been taken.
However the Psi Army was utterly annihilated during the fighting.

2334.05.08:
Missing Acomplished. The Hadadeshi Confederacy is reduced to a Single System and a single Vassal that can be take on at our leisure later. The Galactic Concord is effectively crippeled.

 

Footnotes:
* Those Observatories and thier Sensor Boost realy came in handy here.

** Forgot the AI tends to use those FTL traps. And even the weakest sat can kill a Science Ship before it can warp out again.

*** Can't tell if it was recoqnuered by the enemy, or just fell back to it because it was Capital and I moved all troops offworld.

The map near the start of the year 2335:

post-15884-0-87717900-1466082573_thumb.jpg

As can be seen in the South/west, the Trakpocian are still pretty strong. They are still rejecting a invite into our alliance due to "differences in power" and because the Rax'Thalak threath has been reduced considerably as they consolidate thier holdings.

 

The Screk are reducted to 3 systems, but that is still barely within what I can vassalize or liberate in one go.

 

The Menjeti in the Republic of Braddam are still trying to catch up technologically to finally move from protectorate to Vassal. At least now thier tech holds on the 2nd worst comparative level to me, rather then the abysmal "Pathethic".

While they did help during warfare, thier fleet power is laughable 2k (I got 14k in the primary and 7k in the secondary fleet).

 

post-15884-0-09106000-1466082917_thumb.jpg

North of me the Bavi are still as strong and uninterested in eastern expansionism as ever. It appears they did cause some damage to the Zum Forerunners in a recent war, as thier fleet power has gone down considerably.

Thanks to me the Hadadeshi Confederation has absorbed most of the Confederacy (the Religious Hadadeshi state). But two systems and 1 Protectrate are still holding onto thier dear life.

 

post-15884-0-08479600-1466083118_thumb.jpg

The South/East:

The Rax'Thalak are still the major power, but they have not expanded in nearly a century.

The other two big Powers is the Alliance between the Xanyr and Photecian, where the Xanyr are clearly the stronger party. They are slowly assimilating the other empires in that region of space.

 

post-15884-0-05610100-1466083383_thumb.jpg

North/east:

Two ancient empires are noticeable, the Djunn Shard (Keepers of Knowledge) and Dorbolan Guardians.

 

Otherwise the Colelctivist/Spiritualist/Pacifist Ethics has totally taken over that quadrant.

The two Hissma States (Hissma League and Bardegan) keept out of the aliance, having no direct threats.

But I can not see things being friendly between the Condign Concord and Council of Qara Binam - pacifist and fanatic militarist do not mix.

 

post-15884-0-45013900-1466083807_thumb.jpg

North/west:

The Council of Qara Binam is still the dominant power and they are Honorbound Warriors. The easter and (soon) southern threaths might be the only reason they have not yet overrun the Uthabulans yet.

 

 

The power of hte Fallen ones is waning more and more. I finally got equality on tech, Naval Capacity and (with some) even Fleet power in sight.

2335.01.01:
It has now been 135 years since we made out journey to the stars. Many lives have come and passed. And there is yet no end of the conflicts in sight.

2335.02.01:
Plans are being made to reinstate the original Djomar state from the Bavi. Chances are good that the entire south of the Bavi empire could be taken out - if a military victory is possible against that huge Neighbour.

2335.04.04:
The first of Army of a new Generation of Psi Warriors has oficially reached operational status. Despite the heavy losses the took, General Derom had'Marn is a firm believer that "a primary psionic army will proove able to coutner even the genetically enhanced supersoldiers of other species", wich means both the Hadadeshi and the Bavi. Over the next years the remaining robot legion will slowly be repalced by more advance Psionic legions.

2335.04.29:
"The Zro must flow." The Navigator guilds name was choosen intentionally due to the similarities between how the whole concept of "Enhanced Psionic Navigation" works in reality and the old Books.
Over 20 new Corvettes have started productin to comemorate the inaugration of this newest earth Spaceport module.

2335.12.01:
Despite a very close race with Gertie Flint, Migeul Sanchez has once again be re-voted as president.

2336.07.02:
"Attack of the Clones" is what the press called it, in reference to a old cultural Phenomenon called "Star Wars".
We just made sufficient breakthroughs that the creation of massed clone armies is viable. However there is no obvious military benefit to use them over our current Psionic and Robot armies.

2337.01.10:
In a suprise move the Technological Enlightenment of the Bronze Age Khessam in Dawcan Systems has been Greenlit.
The Enlightenment had long been considered infeasible, both due to the time it would take and the fact that thier manerisms can be quite Repulsive (in particular thier died of only eating long dead carrion, like the Vulture those avians resemble. However recent success in altering the manerisms of the conquered Hadadeshi people seems to have convinced people that is no longer a problem for integration.
However the process is expected to take close to 500 months (almost 42 years).


2338.07.14:
Tones have gotten very rough between the Qara Binam and thier Uthabulon Neighbour. It seems like they Qara will soon makea move on thier territory.

2338.07.29:
While we were still laying the groundwork for our Enlightenment, the Khessam advanced into the Iron Age on thier own. Thier fundamental understanding of Metallurgy will speed up the Enlightenment by about 50%.

2338.08.04:
While the pre-sentient Grollferp in Alpha Centuari have long been considered beneath our notice, a new Initiative was started to uplift them.
As they already show considerable promise in physical Endeavors, enhancement of thier Physical Strenght and  Resilience will be the main goal of this uplifting.

2338.08.16:
What was long expected to happen, finally did happen. The Council of Qara Binam declared war on thier Northern Neighbour, the Uthabulan Serene Grand Duchy.

2338.10.02:
The Uplifting of the Grollferp is complete, a living testament to our commitment to find new forms of life - and create them, if they do not yet exist.

2341.02.28:
After being a hot contender for a long time, Gertie Flint has finally been elected president of the UNS.

2341.09.05:
On the path to true humanoid AI, humanoid Robots were the first step. Droids are the second. We did not dare yet to go the 3rd step - Full Synthethics capable of recieving citizen Rights. But out power has been growing steadily, while the Djunn Shard has Stagnated for centuries. We now feel somewhat confident that we could beat them, should they again interfere in our internal maters.
Under Veer Gupta, research into Synthethcis has begun. No concrete plan about widespread implementation exist yet.

2342.05.20:
The 1st Fleet has been oficially completed for the time being.
5 Battleships, 10 Cruisers, 20 destroyers and 40 corvettes will be the new Standart for fleet opeartions.
Soon work on imrpooving the 2nd Fleet will begin.

2344.05.04:
The truce with the Galactic Concort no longer applies. We can now continue to conquer them.
The Goal is simple: Ceeding of the 2 colonies each in Vhallas and Lytirin system, wich includes the remaining space of the Confederacy and half of the Screk Holdings.

2344.05.15:
The war has officially been declared. We are now on our way.

2345.05.10:
Our newly Formed Psionic armies will have thier first real combat, during thier attack on the 2nd Vhallas colony (the minor 1st one had already been taken by Hadadeshi Gene Warriors).
The landing has begun.

2345.06.09:
The enemy command structure on the ground has been utterly disrupted. The enemy ability for effective attacks is massively reduced, making this more or less a cleanup job for our army*

2345.07.13:
Against a superior number of defensive armies and Militia, our Psi Corp was victorious. The groundfighting took only slightly over 2 months, most of wich was cleaning up disorganized pockets of resistance.

2345.11.15:
Do electronic brain dream of electronic sheep? Soon we can do studies on this question, as we have completed the groundwork for Synthethic populations.

2346.03.29:
While the Uthabulan Military lies in ruins, it appears they will make the Qara Binam fight for every square kilometer of planetary surface.

2346.08.19:
The last of the Screk Fleet and Spaceports has been destroyed. Now the fleet turns it's attention to the Hadadeshi "front". Not much combat is expected there either, except on the ground of course.

2347.02.30:
A allied Hadadeshi Fleet reached Lytirin. However the enemy Hadadeshi Fleet is much stronger then anticipated. The Hadadeshi will either have to gather all thier troops or leave defeating that fleet to the UNS Admirality.

2347.06.02:
In a very agressive but also very successfull operation, the allied Hadadeshi Fleet under admiral Japra Tysala managed to defeat the enemy Hadadeshi fleet down to the last ship. Sieging of hte planets can soon begin.

2348.05.12:
Mission Accomplished.
Despite fierce resistance, the Hadadeshi are now once again unified under one Government.
The colonies in Vhallas have been organised into the "Screk Sector", wich is planned to later include the remaining 2 Screk worlds as well.
Sophie Paquette of Asgard is the Governor of the new System.

2348.05.16:
With much fanfare the ban on Artificial Intelligence was lifted today. Not only that, but the new laws go into the exactly opposite direction - giving all AI full citizen rights.

2348.06.13:
As expected after thier (almost complete) victory over thier northern Neighbour, the Council of Qara Binam sets it's eye upon the ever growing threth from the North/easter quadrant - the Condign Concord.
While nominally consisting of 5 members, only the Republic of Mura has a significant fleet. How warfare would turn out is everyones guess. Many argumentate that the Concord can blame this reaction on themself, because they admitted the 3 remaining Uthabulan Systems into thier alliance.

2348.10.17:
The north/eastern alliance has made the final step and transformed into a Federation of 5 member states, to better defend against the Qara Binam.

2349.01.18:
(I quit and relaoded the game as the deathchances appeared to be not working properly. Some imminent deaths are expected. Miguel Sanchez suddenly hat a 30% per month chance, a indication that he did bug out).

2349.04.15:
The first half of the 2nd Fleet has been completed.

2350.08.24:
Wen Mao, Governor of Earth, died at the venerable age of 109 today.

2351.08.28:
Gertie Flint has been re-elected as President

2352.11.08:
It is time to finally fully integrate the Screk into the UNS. A proper war declaration has been prepared.
Thier allies in the Star Entente will not be able to assit them, as they are stuck on far east border of the galaxy, with 2 big nations in between.

2353.07.13:
Despite heaviest orbital defenses the Hadadeshi Gene warriors swept into the Ladiom Colony and captured it.

2353.10.22:
With half the orbital defenses still operational, our Psi corps dares the ground attack on the Baccotri colony.

2354.01.01:
Just days after the successfull capture of the Baccotri system, Admiral Zeinab Farrokhzad died of natura causes at the venerable age of 113.
Necommer Admiral Wesley Dillard is tasked with taking over the 1st Fleet.

2354.07.17:
The final Screk colony has been taken by our Psi Forces.**

2356.02.04:
The Hadadeshi just put there Eyes onto the territories of the Qara Binam to our north.

2356.09.30:
Governor Minato Miura of the Ligira Sector died today at the ripe age of 139.
Cheng Zu (28) takes over the sector.
Meanwhile with Eguloordh (47; Horselike Orassian) a retired Fleet officer takes over Governance of earth***

2357.12.06:
Even with thier generally accepted Citizenship, there was still one minor factor keeping Organics and Synthethics appart. This difference has now been abolished.
Any being, wheter human, Xeno or Synthethic is allowed to serve as leaders in the United Nations of Sol.

2358.04.29:
Scientist and President, Francesco Oliviery had been either of those in his 136 years of life. He will be dearly missed on the road ahead, yet we can not stand still.
Japra Pok (42, Hadadeshi) takes his place.

2361.02.29:
Vhallas V was always a huge world and now that terraforming is complete, it is also a highly habitable world for our more desert dwelling Citizen.
The Otagan Colonists - not having much in the way of pre-existing Cutlure - choose to simply name the planet "Gobi", like the desert on earth.

2361.09.04:
Who does not like planetwide direct access to high speed Extranet and Television?
Some might call the new Constructed Uplink stations in the Asgard (Dawcan), Wenzhou (Stuckon) and both Vhallas colonies "the rich mans mind control". But we see it as a simple benefit we can not withould from those citizen that are far removed from Sol, our ancestral Capital World.****

2362.07.29:
The Djunn once again demanded we stop working with AI.
However we are not forced to accept it this time. Thanks to the help of our fellow Synthethic citizen, we now have the power to  withstand that ancient menace. The UNS will not be bullied again!

2362.10.07:
The final Screk war is finally over. The enemy relented and is now being integrated into the UNS.

2363.12.05:
Wen Huang (109, Human, Eartward Sector Governor) died today.
Fattic Umlatika (47, Trakpocian) takes his job.

2366.11.18:
Scientist Nicoletta Cappello died today at the age of 111.
Necommer Wen Liang (54) takes her spot.

2367.06.17:
Today scientist Dieter Schmidt died at age 109.
Marissa Burness (35, Voidcraft expert) takes his place.

2367.08.15:
Proton class battleships had been proposed long ago when we stumbeled over realife proton torpedoes - wich have the interesting property to skip right past shields.
The weaponry evolved, but the name stayed. "Proton" Class battleships are equiped with Neutron Torpedoes, energy projectiles able to skip through shields. 10 ships of this new class have been ordered - 5 per fleet. The idea is to have a counter against any incursions by a fallen empire and ther heavily shielded ships.

2367.12.11:
The UNS Copernicus was today lost with all hands.
Wen Liang was not long for this world. During a routine re-survey in the Heka System a sensor anomaly was spoted in the atmosphere of Heak II (Gas Giant). For as yet to determiend reasons Wen Liang choose to enter the atmopshere to get a better reading, wich naturally led to the destruction of the ship.*****
Due to the diffculty of retrieving the wreckage from a gas giants upper atmosphere, the exact details may never be known so neither human error, mechanical failure or foul play will ever be able to be ruled out.


2368.02.15:
In order to replace the lost UNS Copernicus, the UNS Hubble has entered service today.
Elina Renard (42, Voidcraft expert) has been tasked with continuing the re-survey of the Heka System.

2368.09.30:
Today the Hadadeshi proposed to start a Liberation war agains the Council of Qara Binam. It includes almost the entire southern half of thier empire.
We agreed and the war is now Officially declared.


Footnote:
*breaking morale = -75% Damage. Kinda a big thing for Psi warriors wich have very little HP to begin with. Of course they still maintain most of thier manpower, so killing them does not go any faster - just less dangerous.

**By all intents I had won now. However one minor goal had been to replace a certain government in the east. Either way I had to wait for warscore to accumulate.

***Massive bonus to ship cost and buildspeed on my main Shipyard? Deal!

****For some odd reason Individualists can build "Orbital Mind Control Lasers" (massive - Ethics divergence, but also massive energy maintenance). I take it to just view the special effect distinct from the game effect. And just came up with a proper "Individualist" Special effect to justify them. Might get patches out next time around.

*****7% Fail risk. What do I get? Critical Failure!
