Minimum natural life Expextancy by 2306: 107 years. 132 with Resilient


2328.11.30:
We just signed a non-agression pact with the Gwesibor (Fanatic Individualist, Xenophobe) from the north/west quadrant.

2330.11.05:
With Yeedik (Qravadox, Voidcraft) another scientist has been hired.

2330.11.06:
Due to overall increase in life expectancy, the "leader Enhanchment" programm is no longer considered nessesary.
Natural selection will once again run it's course.*

2330.12.04:
Governor Valentina Dudnik died at age 102 today while overseeing reserach in Claive

2331.01.12:
Aanya Naik died while leading physics reserach.

2331.01.14:
In a tragic lab accident Feathers of White and new Physics leader Julieta Ramirez died.
Zhu Tan has been hired to fill the void.

2331.05.28:
Overseer Grant Cooper died today at age 122.
Newcommer Zhu Tan was elected instantly. Her "eye for Talent" will come quite in handy.

2331.06.07:
With Concetta Ricci yet another Scientist died.

2331.06.28:
Governor Yuna Yamada died at age 115, leaving Ziamon Prime without a Governor.

2331.08.19:
Palash Venktaesan died at age 86 today. Takumi Kobayashi was hired to replace him.

2331.10.01:
The United Ziiran Dominion (Fanatic Collectivist, Materialist) invted us to war on the Democratic Lahtrepian Nation (Fanatic Individualist, Materialist) and thier Hulfax Allies (Individualsit, Fanatic Materialist). All 3 powers belong to the south half of the Galaxy. However the proposed wargoals are not in our Favor.

2331.01.09:
It appears the war between Qell'Nudar and Popdu and defense pact partners is over.
The war against the Obveni is still going, however.

2332.03.09:
The Opalglec declared war on the remainders of the Qvefox Hierarchy, possibly ending the conquest they had begun so long ago.

2332.09.20:
Governor Prisha Moorthi of the Qrava Sector died today. Sir Douglas Barnes from Wetij Secundus takes over.

2334.05.02:
Probing aliens - it looks like we will be the ones doing the Probing.
Due to the difficulties of obtaning specimens from Mag'Rutosh in Dongar the conventional way with all the Atmospheric defense, the science post asked for help with the secret aquisition and release of test subjects.

2334.05.10:
As expected the Opalglec have won thier war with the Qvefox taking half the terriotory and turning the last colony into a Vassal. They also canceled thier defense Pact with the Khemplar, propably in prepartion for later conquest. That threath to our border can not be ignored.

2334.06.01:
With the Opalglec and Obveni encroaching on our Borders, it was decided by Director Zhu Tan to strike first and integrate the last remaining Khemplar colonies into the Denebulan Directorate.
War has been declared.

2334.12.24:
The secret Abduction in Dongar was a success and went mostly unnoticed. However one of the shuttlecrews created "Crop Circles" with thier shuttles engines. They have been reprimanded.

2335.04.17:
Longterm Fleet leader "Eyes of Orange" died today.
Plume of Green (also Khemplar) from the Supply division takes over the 1st Strike Force.

2335.07.15:
Similar to what had happened on the other Abduction Post, a whole set of delivered Observation implants has gone fault and the scient team will need help collecting all the affected test subjects.

2335.11.29:
Both Khemplar Systems have been taken by ground assault.
The fleet moves towards Popdu area, as the Khemplar People are unwilling to yield as long as thier ally stands - regardless of how hopelss thier position is in agaisnt the Obveni.

2336.02.15:
The faulty set of Observation implants has been removed. Battlefield Salvage in the Khemplar territory can continue.

2337.07.14:
With the invasion forces bearing down on the Popdu Colonies, the Khemplar Government in exile finally relented and asked thier Citizens to stand down.
The Khemplar are no longer a interstellar power and this war is over.
The Khem Jhunn and Cknoor Systems have been added to the West Border Sector.

2339.11.29:
The south border sector has been expanded to include the newly aquired Khemplar Colonies too.

2342.10.17:
The Qell'Nudar Polity is once again attacking the Popdu Polity.

2345.08.30:
With L'Krami a new Scientist has been hired.

2345.09.05:
It is said the "Old dog learns no new tricks". Apparently that does not apply to old birdpeople. At a age of 100 Feathers of Ivory showed a new interest in colonisation technology.

2346.02.21:
Sir Douglas Barnes died at age 87 today.
Newcommer Camila Gonzalez takes over the Qrava sector.

2347.05.15:
The Saluria and Gothra Systems have long been interesting.
Containing two large "Tomb worlds" they could have immense Relevancy for our Scientists. Aside from that, they also sit on the Hyperspace lane into the Syldaean Sucessor State - the fallen empire not very keen on us developed AI Robotics.
It has now been secured as our territory with a Border Outpost. Advancements in Robotics are nessesary to "colonise" the planet however, due to the extremely hostile atmosphere.
The Pre-sentient species of the Haahn might be able to colonise the planet, after Uplifting and extensive genetic modifications. However Robots would still be more effective.**

2350.04.01:
A strange Subspace Echo has been detected approaching our galaxy. While there is no evidence for it, it appears a Strom is comming.



Footnotes:
*While it only affects the Skill Level and recruitment cost of new leaders, it does affect the life expectancy of existing leaders. So a lot of deaths are expected. Life expectancy dropped to 82/107 with Resilient.

**Tombworlds have 0% habitability. Habitability acts as cap on happiness. 40-50% is needed so they do not want to wander out.
Starborn of the Haahn would give +25. +10% can be got from Traits/genetic engineering. +10% is passive from tech and another +5% from building for a total of just about 50%.
Robots have +200%, but only T2 robots can be used to colonise.

3 new Governors have been hired and assigned to various planets.

2351.04.27:
The Subspace contacts from Intergalactic Space keep approaching. A few of them appear to be racing ahead of the main body and we have plotted thier Course to the rim of our Galaxy.
The will appear in the North/Western quadrant, in the Space of the Warriorlike Ha-Va'Ri. As no contact has jet been established, enemy intent is expected.

Drawing the map for the Conflict to come:

post-15884-0-76477800-1467393785_thumb.jpg

League of Ha-Var'Ri (in german Havarie is a catastrophical loss of a ship); Individualist, Fanatic Militarist; Honorbound Warriors

Gwesibor Stellar Mandate; Fanatic Individualist, Xenophobe; Xenophobic Isolationists; Tried more then once t draw me into thier war and make a Defense pact with me.

Tebbran Comonality; Xenophile, Pacifist, Spiritualist; Spiritual Seekers; Tried to invite me for war on the Gwesibor and Ha-Va'Ri more then once. Defense pact with Popdu and thus in the Podu war agaisnt Qell Nudar involved (that is bugged out, it appears).

 

There are half a dozen other small groups with various allegiances. How much they will mater remains to be seen.

 

The Obevni Order are of course the big power in the both North Quadrants. And block the path due to rivalry. I have removed that, but it is likely I have to go the long route around the core to get into that battle.

Yeah, to me this is a serious "flaw"...the one time I directly confronted the invaders I declared War, and burned my way across a dominion to get to the fight...the other time I waited till my blocker was exterminated.. (!) you'd think Diplomocy would modify in some way dang it!

2351.04.28:
The Fleet under Admiral Plume of Green has begun retrofitting to prepare for a enemy that will soon be among us.

2351.05.12:
The new Arrival Contacted us today via a galaxywide Subspace wave. No communication was possible. The enemy appears to be some sort of "Swarm".

2351.06.03:
The first wave of Biological Ships is overunning the outlying Systems near the Ha-Va'Ri. They have been dubbed the "Prethorin Scourge" by those who had first contact with them.
All attempts at communication have failed.

2351.07.18:
The retrofit is complete. The Fleet moves out.

2351.08.13:
It appears the mainfleet of the Prethorin has arrived.

2352.01.29:
The scourge have established colonies of some sort in the Grokkan and Hithara System. They are likely to only expand from there.
The fleet has finished about half the journey around the core.

2352.10.20:
After 1 1/4 years, Admiral Plume of Green has finally reached the North/West Quadrant.

2352.11.05:
Droids have been developed and are being deployed.

2353.04.03:
The 1st Strike Force enganged a full Fleet of Prethorin "ships". The shields and weapons prooved highly effective. While many ships have been damanged, only 2 Destoryers have been lost.

2353.08.20:
While doing field repairs, the 1st strike force was attacked by another Prethorin Fleet. 6 corvettes and 3 more destroyers have been lost.

2353.12.06:
A thrid Prethorin Fleet attacked the 1st Strike force, but it was able to escape to FTL quickly.
While doing Battlefield salvage of the Bioship wrecks/carcases, Takumi Kobayashi was killed.

2354.02.08:
Plume of Teal has entered the upper Echelons of the Directorate.

2354.11.14:
The Fleet has finally managed to disengage out of Prethorin Space. The fleet returns for Retrofit, Repair and reinforcement.

2356.01.01:
Shu Shen was killed while doing a deep survey of the Prethorin Nothern regions.
Lagraak has entered the upper Echelons.

2356.03.22:
The Fleet has reached the Cknoor and is being retrofitted with new weapons. The process is expected to take over 1 year.

2356.03.25:
With Feathers of Ivory the one of hte oldest Scientists of the Directorate has died at age 111.
P'Dykna has been hired.

2356.08.09:
Sensing weakness in the wester Alliance, the Obveni declared war on the minor Rax'Thalak block, wich drags 6 parties into the war.
Meanwhile the Obveni seem to be oblivious or unterinterested in the Scourge, despite the expansing having reached thier borders.

2357.01.18:
The Ziiran from the South/east proposed an attack on the Drull'Prefen League today.
It is true that the Drull'Prefen have been encroaching into our territory over the last century, so attacking them is at least interesting. However we want our neutrality with them, so we can better fight with the Scourge. Still a clear Rivalry has been declared to the Drull'Prefen.

2357.03.29:
A comet passed through Deneb. The passing was uneventfull.

2359.07.01:
Angering the Drull'Prefen turend out to be a bad choice. Now they will not let us pass through thier territory.
The decision has been made to liberate several planets along the Hyperspace route into the south/west, with help from the Ziiran.

2359.10.01:
The war between the Qell'Nudar and Popdu is over with minimal ceeding for the Popdu. This is likely because the Scourge has reached Qell'Nudar Space and they have more important things to worry about now.

2360.01.14:
The Ziiran Proposed a non-agression pact today, that we accepted.
This improovement in Denebulan/Ziiran relations has long been expected.

2364.07.19:
Our Abduction Shuttle crews in Hirim were apparently severely bored. Wich lead to them using the thrusters of thier ships turn burn circles and other complex patterns in the fields of the Bronze Age Civilisation. Wich lead to them forming a religion around worship of the forms.
The crews have been punished for this breach of protocoll.

2365.01.05:
In Dongar our Abduction Shuttles have lead to a exceptional amount of Xenophobic tendencies. In retrospect why not all civilisations fall into that would be a interesting piece of study.

2368.01.13:
The Ultra-Drull'Prefen Interstellar empire has formed - named after a subspecies that had modified themself and considers themself distinct from the priamry race.
That means our Fleet can finally re-engage teh Swarm. A swarm wich by now has seriously eaten into the nearby empires - literally, and figuratively.


Footnotes:
*Propably due to a bug, he kept getting Traits over and over until he had accumulated 6 of them.

2368.01.23:
We now have a Mutual Defense pact with the Ziiran.

2368.07.08:
The Fleet has reached Rotanev to be equipped with totally new reactors. The Retrofits are expected to take nearly 2 years.

2369.02.06:
We thought we knew of every spacefarer, but it appears another one joined us among the stars. The Zum Allied States just seems to have left thier planet. Right next to a Scourge "Colony". It seems unlikely they will be able to survive.

2369.02.26:
And withint a meere year, the Defense Pact was canceled by the Ziiran because "the DD is not longer relevant in this sector of space".

2369.10.09:
The minor alliance "Harmonious Axis" has just decalred a Liberation war unto the Qvefoz, wich also drages the Opalglec and Qell'Nudar into the war due to defense agreements and vassalisation.

2370.08.11:
The Retrofit of the Fleet is complete. The 1st Strike force once again goes to engange the Scourge via the Longer Southern route.

2371.06.08:
Without any real counter candidate, Zhu Tan (71) has been re-elected as Overseer.*

2371.08.01:
The 1st Strike Force has reached the Advatir system, just south of the southernmost Scourge "colonies".

2372.02.12:
Homam III in the Homan System has been "cleansed" of the Preathoryn Scourge "colony".
Between the highly posionous weapons and the ecological damage already done by the scourge, this former life bearing planet has been turned into a lifeless husk of a barren world.

2374.02.23:
Another Scourge Fleet has been defeated. However losses in destroyers and corvettes are mounting. Plume of Green proposes to re-evaluate our anti scourge fleets with fewer, bigger ships that will be better ablet o withstand the onslaught.

2374.03.09:
There have been a few really great minds in the history of humanity - Newton, Einstein, Hawkings. It seems the Primitive Species in the Dongar System has just produced such a individuum. While he could advance thier technology by leaps and bounds, he could do so much more for our side of the curtain.
A scenario do abduct him from the Savix'Qast Civilisation on Mag Rutosh is being drawn up.

2374.09.18:
The Abduction of the primitive Scientist was successfull. We welcome Sobak to our Science Cadre.

2375.06.18:
After loosing the remaining Destroyer and Corvette force to heavy Scourge bombardment, the 1st Strike force is forced to retreat from Hixros System, before finishing the orbital Bombardment on the local scourge colony.

2375.07.09:
In a welcome if unexpected development, the Anti-Alien Taskforce on Mag Rutosh in Dongar System has been disbanded.
While they had some successes against our Abduction shuttles, infighting among the nation states has apparently disolved any funding and cooperation.

2376.05.14:
Yeedik just died at age 83.

2376.06.22:
The one Remaining Ha-Va'Ri colony - thier Capital Planet Rigga in the Ha-Va'Ri System, has just accepted to be a vassal of the Tebbran.

2376.10.06:
Governor Camila Gonzalez has died at age 86 today. Reebik takes over Wetij Secundus.

2377.02.27:
One big Marvel was still left in the Galaxy: The Eruxo Ancients. All this time they have lived in the far Western half the the Galaxy and now finally made contact with us.
They consider themself "Guardians of the Holy Places".
Unfortunately between them and the Obveni, now all routes in and out of Scourge Territory are blocked off.

2380.05.03:
While our Fleet is still stuck behind closed border lines, it was attacked by a Scourge Fleet.
While the Scrouge was defeated, one of our Battleships was utterly destroyed.

2380.11.29:
Today is a day of great Sorrow.
The remaing 1st Strike force under Admiral Plume of Green was annihilated by the Scourge onslaught.
Seeing no viable escape route, the fleet fought to the last Ship in the Tystra System, destroying half the Scrouge fleet. but failing to score any deadly hits on the Queen class.

2380.11.30:
Admiral "Claws of Khaki" takes over the 2nd Strike Force over Claive in Wetij System. However much further building effort is needed before the fleet can be ready to engage the swarm. Or anyone not wanting us to come close to it....

2381.01.16:
The Ziiran just declared war on the remainder of the Drull'Prefen League. The Ziiran have a fleet equalling ours, while the Drull still have not remotely finished restoring thier fleet after the last great war with us and the Ziiran.

2381.10.23:
Having no option to engage the Scourge directly, a new target has been found:
The Fallen Empire known as the "Syldaean Successor State" was persistently a thorn in our side, denying us our right to puruse AI robotics at the threath of Warfare.
However our science has made considerable progress in the last 180 years, and we might now be able to engange them in a direct fight if properly prepared. Our ships have be re-designed and retrofitted to engage the is new enemy. We hope to find some form of secret knowledge that these ancients have been hoarding, while the universe is falling to the Scourge. Some secret knowledge that will allow us to engage and defeat our enemies.

2383.04.22:
The Syldaean just declared war on the League of Popdu, presumably due to progressing in AI technology. It seems excessively unlikely the Popdu will be able to resist this onslaught, given the damage they ahve already taken from previous wars and the scourge. However it will give us a opportunity to evaluate the fallen empires fleet.

2384.05.15:
With Skraak a new non-Human scientist has entered our higher cardre.

2384.07.24:
As expected the Syldaean have defeated the Popdu easily, forcing them to abandon AI research.

2387.06.02:
The new Flagships Overlord, Conqueror, Vindicator, Paladin and Cerberus have been build in Unity Spaceport.

2388.01.18:
The Fleet has gathered over Unity, Deneb. The system has been turned into a massive FTL trap for the Fallen Empire fleets.
Even if they should be able to defeat us in thier first strike, chances are low that they will be able to keep up with our production.
We just declared the Syldaean war, with the goals not set smaler then total annexiation of thier Empire.

2388.07.12:
While thier might is great, a enemy Invasion at Polaris in the South Border Sector was defated.
The first enemy fleet had also been destroyed beforehand.

2388.12.06:
The Auspicious Compact consisting of the Democratic/materialistic nations 'Republic of Hullfax' and 'Democratic Lathrepian Nations' just declared a vassalisation war on the Ultra'Drull Prefen, and thus by extension us (as we guaranteed thier Indipendance). Apparently they asumed - incorrectly - we would not be able to fight them due to our war with the Syldaeans.

2389.03.02:
P'Dykna was killed while passing through Auspicious Concord Space. This slaughter will not be forgotten.

2389.12.12:
With Skraak anotehr Scientist was killed, this time by the Syldaean.

2389.12.28:
The fleet Responsible for the death of Skraak was caught by the 2nd Strike Force and Annihilated utterly.

2390.02.28:
Yet another Fallen Empire Fleet has been destroyed by our navy, reducing the enemy fleet to close to nothing.
It is time to finally invade the systems Beacon of Stability and Beacon of Infinity to put a end t this war - and focus on another one.

2390.12.25:
While the Fleet lays Seige to "Eternal Bastion", the sole remaining Ringwrold section in "Beacon of Stability", our scientist have found a phenomenal new resource on the destroyed Fragments: Living Metal. This might be the technology that allowed constructions of the 3 Niven-Rings in the Syldaean Empire in the first place and and will likely ahve considerable applications for future warfare with the Preathoryn Scourge.

2391.03.02:
The "Eternal Bastion" has fallen.
In the end the Syldaeans were outmatched by a younger race - the humans.
We set out sight to Beacon of Infinity, where a total of 4 habitable Ringworld Sections remain the be taken from the ancient ones.

2391.03.13:
A scan of Beacon of Infinity reveled that they have truly no ships left. All that stands between our troops and the invasion of hte "Palatial Distrcit" (the section used like a Capital Planet) is a handfull of orbital defenses.

2391.07.27:
The Final Syldaean defenses have been taken out. Nothing stands in the way of hte Invasion of hte Palatial Distrcit anymore.

2391.09.24:
The Auspicious Compact's Warfleet has reached the Sensor Range of the South Border Sector. As soon as the current "Skirmish" with the Syldaean is over, we will engange them instead.

2391.11.08:
With the capturing of the 3rd Ringworld Section, the Syldaean Government relented and accepted that we had won this war.
However, the current Emperor was still full of spite at us for not heeding his "Wisdom" regarding Artificial Intelligences. While the fleet moves towards the other War, the work to build up our new "Planets" begins.

2392.03.12:
Overseer Zhu Tan Died at age 92 today. Her designate sucessor is the extremely unknown Hong Sima.

2392.06.10:
A fleet of the Concord had just reached Khem Jhunn, only to be greated by a great Fortress and our 2nd Strike Force. The enemy was eliminted down to the last ship.

2392.10.19:
Our Warfleet has reached Ultra Drull'Prefen Space at thier current Capital in the Masqal System and spotted a large Concord Warfleet to engange.

2393.01.29:
Despite being outnumbered nearly over 2:1, Admiral Claws of Khaki annihilated the bulk of the Concord Fleet in Masqal. However a 1/3 of the Cruisers remain and the Original Flag-Section of the fleet has been reduced to the Paladin and Cerberus by now.

2393.02.07:
Governor K'Reel died today. No enemy foul play is asumed.

2393.04.20:
The Last Auspicious Concord Fleet has been driven from the Ultra-Drull'Perfen Space. The war has completely turned around. Now we can go on the offensive.
As the Syldaean population prooved suprisingly accepting of our Rule, the Gene Warrior legins used to conquer them are being mobilised towards the new Front.

2394.07.23:
Another atrocity against Science was commited by the Concord, as hey killed "Plume of Teal" during battlefield Salvage.

2394.10.01:
The 3rd Enemy Planet has Fallen. Meanwhile a udnerstaffed Raiding Force entered Beacon of Stability.

2396.06.06:
We finally have a Sentient Reserach Computer. With that the way is open towards Sentient Combat Computers - and finally Synths, the ultimate evolution of the Robot pops.

2397.06.14:
The core of the Lathrepian Nation has been taken by force and all Southern ports have been eliminated. No large Compact Fleet was noticed.

2398.04.09:
The extremely Xenophile Lagin'Chuuz Forerunners just decalred war on the Qell'Nudar/Opalglec/Qvefoz alliance, with the goal of forcing a stop of all "Atrocities".

2399.01.22:
With Dothon the 5th and Final planet on our Wargoal list has been taken.

2399.04.26:
Our Fleet has reached Hullfax Space. Attacks on thier Port Infrastructure can now begin in earnest.

2400.05.03:
Living Metal has been researched. While inorganic, it will inherently try to "regenerate" into the state it was stablized in. This increases armor by a condierable amount and gives our ship hulls selfhealing abilities. All the Spaceports in Beacon of Inifinity are equipped with Armories that can process this "living Metal".

2401.08.06:
Governor T'Anaark died at age 89 today.

2402.03.08:
Captain Wing of Cyan from the Cruiser Onward served with Distinction duing the raiding of the Hullfax Hinterland, earning himself a promotion to Admiral.

2402.04.12:
After almost 3 years, the Hullfax Government finally caved in under the Civilian pressure and conceeded a loss of this war.

2402.04.19:
The 2nd Strike Force is ordered to return to "Eternal bastion". It will become the core of a small contingent whose job is safeguarding the Spaceports and resources in the former Syldaean Space.

In the north, nothing happened much.

 

post-15884-0-46224500-1467838453_thumb.jpg

However in the south there used to be some Fallen Empire, not too long ago.

Now thier 3 systems and 5 Ringworld sections as well as thier population belong to me.

 

post-15884-0-48910700-1467838564_thumb.jpg

South-East is utter chaos with more subfactions then you can shake a stick at. But the Ultra-Drull'Prefen have gained a lot of ground.

The both Grey Empires (fittingly) form one Alliance, the Harmonious Axis.

The Drull'Prefen are about to loose even more ground to the Ziiran - already at -87% Warscore.

 

post-15884-0-83124600-1467838735_thumb.jpg

In the South-West we have the "Auspicious Compact". Whose first war was quite un-auspicious.

The Hullfax are still big, but the Lahtrepian are mostly lost.

The Connishtian managed to hold on against Ziiran expansionism so far.

 

post-15884-0-92404800-1467838918_thumb.jpg

The big South/Western power is the Husky Sovereignty. Democratic Crusaders (Fanatic Individualist, Militarist) that gobbeled up thier Demeocractic Pacifist Neighbours

 

Of course the big questions is: What about the Prethoryn Scourge?

Oh, they grew big.

post-15884-0-58919200-1467839048_thumb.jpg

Thier expansion was much stronger into the Othethi Nation (east side) and thus towards me. But there is no consolidated defense effort in the west side. There are a bunch onf holdouts in the middle of thier Terrain, but likely due to AI bugs (the Scourge fleets are to busy catching all those fleets running around to actually get those planets; or maybe the already lost most ground troops).

Most of the Quell'Nudar have been put under new Management by the Lagin'Chuuz Ancients.

It looks like the swarm has reached the western ancients space. It was said that in old version of hte game, a swarm spawning in a fallen empire would be dead before they ever captured a planet. But these ancients are already weakened and the scourge is well established. And this is a later game version. So it remains to be seen.

 

Plan:

Topple the Obveni regime to finally get open borders. Go for the scourge.

2402.04.19:
Plans are being made to topple the south half of the Obveni Orders. Based on the loses they had against the scourge, it seems wise to finally get border access to the swarm regions.
6 new Colony Ships have been ordered, with the first-in "Settlers" being Droids.
Thier goal will be 5 planets in the now expanded Norht border and Qrava Sectors, as well as the Tomb World Saluria III

2402.05.22:
The Husko jsut decalred war on the minor Power "United Lathrepian Suns" - a faction not fully conquered by the Ulra-Drull'Prefen consisting of the Dothon and Intham Systems.
No aid is expected from any other power.

2403.05.26:
Most of the Spaceports in Beacon of Infinity have been finished. A new Flag Fleet equipped with the best Teldar Aummunition, Garanthium hull and Living Metal Armor has been ordered from the Yards of the Palatial District.
The other 3 ports will be able to add Cruisers if the resources allow for it.

2403.05.29:
A Cyggan Unification War has just begun. The Harmoious Axis declared war on the Cyggan Spliter-Government, the Fanatical Cyggan Sovereign Planets. Again, nobody is expected to interefere in this conflict and chances for the attackers are good.

2403.09.26:
Lagraak jsut died at age 91. Newcommer Haatrek replaces him.

2403.10.25:
The Drull'Preffen Government finally relented, allowing the Ziiran to expand thier hold eastward along the Hyperspace routes.
In a Suprise action the Husko Sovereignty and the Drull'Prefen jsut singed a mutual defense pact. This was in large parts made possible by the Husko's Quick Victory and assimilation of the Latherpian Splinter Government.

2403.11.22:
The Ziiran decided for a push into the Auspcious Compact Space. Considering the weakened state of both compact partners after the disatrous attack on the Ulra-Drull'Prefen Government, thier chances seem high.

2404.01.04:
It took us 204 years into the space age to finally complete our Work into true, artificial intelligences - most of that time fearing the Syldaen Government. A government whose decision even set ill with thier own populace.
Now it is done. We have Synthetic Lifeforms able to recieve Citizenship. The according Policy has been set.

2404.03.28:
The fanatical Cyggan Splintergovernment has been toppeled and a new Democractic one has been installed.

2404.05.09:
The Cyggan Splinter Government choose to become subject of the Cilxtac rather then thier own Government. A integration seems likely in the near Future.

2404.10.19:
The 2nd Strike force has finished Retrofitting at Eternal Bastion and will from now on remain thier to Saveguard the new core of our Empire - the Ringwold Sections.

2404.11.28:
With the Flag-Battleship Katana, the first stone has been set in our re-creation of the 1st Strike Force. Several cruisers and the other 4 Flagships have already been ordered.

2405.12.05:
All Nothern Systems save Deneb, Sol and Wetij are are re-organized into the Qrava-Majoris Megasector.
Wings of Gold has been installed as the sole Governor and tasked with a Miltiary buildup in anticipation of the Swarm or a local power trying to conquer where we are weakest.

2406.01.05:
The Husko asked for Assitance attacking the Eruxo Ancients. However, we declined as that would only embolden a later enemy. We also think that part of space should conserve it's strenght to fight the Swarm.

2406.04.11:
The beacon Systems have been fully outfitted with Garissions. However, as the local Syldaen prooved highly unable to to Combat Work, the respective troops have been flown in from Unity, Earth and Claive.

2406.10.27:
The Cilxtac Mandate (part of Harmonious Axis) just declared that our Colony in Saluria is to close to thier borders.
However this colony has been in the planning for ages and will stay right where it is.

2406.12.01:
It appears after being half eaten by the Scourge the Obveni have finally realized letting us into thier territory to deal with it would be a wise decision.
We will wait if that decision stays while we build our real assault fleet.

2407.08.01:
We found signs of abandoned terraformign equipment on Iolam Prime, that might still be able to finish the work. Burdened with either Dismantling and analyzing the machines or repair them to continue thier process, we choose the former. One can only wonder what technology we might yet still find.

2407.09.24:
Joshua Wickham has been promoted to Governor of Saluria III and tasked with building up infrastructure and the Synthethic Workforce.

2408.02.20:
The Harmoious Axis jsut declared war on the Opalglec and thier allies. Neither side is considered to be any Threath right now.

2408.03.21:
T'Rootik, the Governor of Claive, just died at age 89.

2408.04.05:
While the Intelligence of our Synths had reached human level, thier social interaction skills had not. This is now changed thanks to teh introduction of the "Synthethic Personality Matrix". No longer will our Synthethic brothers be unable to asume leadership roles.

2408.05.03:
The Eruxo Ancients just declared us "Blasphemers" for our settling of the Tomb world Saluria Prime, speaking about "disturbing the spirits" and similar Religious Nonsense.
We decided to not let outselfs be bullied by these have-beens and thier outdated believes.

2408.06.25:
A current estimate of the Eruxo Fleetpower puts them to be quite inferior to our Fleet. This is likely due to losses they incurred against the Scourge.

2409.03.10:
The core of the 1st Strike Force has been completed, consisting of the Katana, Champion, Immortal, Vanquisher and Repulse.
A further 21 cruisers have joined the fleet, wich will now move across obven Space to test thier mettle against the Scourge Bioship fleets.

2409.04.24:
Wings of Gold has died of old Age. Governor B'Raaki has been installed in the Sector instead.

2410.01.01:
With the Withyr System, the first Scourge infested Systems has been reached. Only bio-stations are in this systems. They will make a excelent test for our combat capability.

2410.03.04:
In order to better deal with all Future Challenge, all Future leaders will be enhanced using the "Capacity Booster" Gene Tailoring and Selection routine.
Existing as well as future leaders will also get extensive Longelivity treatment.
Skraak has been elevated to a Science Leader Position.

2410.07.14:
A new Order - a new Faction Fighting the Scrouge has appeared. While seemingly consisting of downtrodden, refugees and war Veterans, these people have managed to pull of some surprising victories agaisnt the Scourge. this might be due to them having ships of a unknown design.
These "Sentinels" have suddenly appeared in the Thelet System, in the middle of Scourge Controlled Space.

2410.07.24:
The Sentinels Contacted us. It appears the Lagin'Chuuz Forerunners donate the highly effective ships and the location of a uncahrted planet to thier cause, as well as assistance in building thier base.

2410.10.08:
The 1st Strikeforce had to withdraw from thier first encounter with the Scourge, as our kinetic weapons prooved insuficcient even with the various advancements we had made.
A quick refit with new Energyweapons has been ordered in the Hoedus System.

2411.09.20:
The retrofit of better suited weapons is complete and reinforcements are on thier way. It is time to once again challenge the Scrouge.

2412.09.06:
A direct push towards the Sentinel Alpha System has been ordered. We need actuall data about the Sentinels capabilities to exclude any future threath.

2413.07.10:
While making it's way to Thelet, the 1st Strike force was attacekd by a scourge Bioships. All Battleships and a large part of the cruisers were destroyed.

2413.07.25:
The Sentinels were not long for this Galaxy. The scourge mainfleet has descended upon the Thelet System and wiped all signs of thier existence.

2414.08.14:
Of the first re-engagement, only 13 cruisers made it back to Beacon of Infinity. However the rebuilding of the fleet is already underway.

2414.12.10:
Apparently a Swarmlike Extragalactic foe devouring planet by planet is not enough for them. THe Obveni just declared war on teh Popdu - again. We lost count, but that should be the 3d to 5th time.

2415.06.02:
As a result of the incomplete terraforming, Iolam Prime has been striken by a Draught. On request of the populace, financial aide has been rendered to aleviate the side effects.

2416.05.21:
The Harmoious Axis war is over. As a result, the Qvefoz are now vassals of the Cilxtac.

2417.03.07:
On the Ziiran front it appears the Concord managed to halt the advance and even push back a little (+58 for Ziiran).

2417.07.01:
Saluria Prime Finally reached the Synth population nessesary to become a fully fledged colony.

2419.09.15:
The 1st Strike Force once again finished a round of retrofitting and reinforcement.
6 Battleships and 43 Cruisers are ready to show the swarm a warm welcome - plasma warm.


Footnotes:
*The Sentinels were supposed to be the ulitmate "swarm got to big" measure, wiht everyone being allowed to donate to them so they could afford more fleets. However in my case, that did not last so long.
