(Stellaris Log)History of the Roman Stellar Empire


Christopher

Recommended Posts

Okay, my last game with the Ix'Idar kind of ran into a serious AI bug. Plus picking Hyperlanes only still seems to be a bad idea with the AI and Warpdrive got buffed a bit. Another Idea I have been toying with is this, a Anti-Ethics Divergence build - the Roman Stellar Empire.

 

History:
"Officially the Roman Empire was defeated. Unbeknowst to many it lived forth in form of a Secret Soceity. In the early 22nd Century they released a Virus that shortened the human livespan considerably, but also made the more conformist. Later they infiltrated the Ulyssis Initiative and took over or sabotaged the Wormhole drives of most other ships. It took them 100 years to re-establish themself on Unity, under the asumption that humanity had abandoned it's dreams of FTL. They have learned from previous mistakes, and will hold thier empire together this time will be ferverous but inclusive nationalism. Rome shall Rule the Galaxy at last! Alea iacta est!"

 

Human Species:

Changed Traits from Quick Learners and Nomads to:
Conformist, Quick Learners, Fleeting (lesser life expectancy).

These changes will affect the UNS, if it spawns. Could be a tomb world full of pre-sentient cockroaches too, of course.

 

Ethos:
Fanatic Spiritualist, Collectivist.
Nationalism can border on the Religious and for the Romans it was partially so.

Government:
4 basic choices. Choose Despotic Empire at first, best for early colonisation.

 

1st Ruler:
Emperor Justinianus Flavius
(I got a roman name list from the Steam Workshop).

Emperor Justinianus Flavius; Home in the Sky (Frontier Outpost and Colony Influence Cost)
Julia Aurelia Flavius; Home in the Sky, Charismatic (better Edicts); Heir: 22000.02.07 (22)

Persons of Note:
Basic Life Expectancy: 57 Years.
Governor Numerius Apollonarius; Intelectual; Palace Hill, Rome System. Rule: 2200.01.01 -
Admiral Vopisca Bradua; Resilient (+25 Years); Scout (Sensor Range); Logistician (Upkeep)

2200.01.01:
On the 48th Birthday of our 1st Stellar Emperor and the launch of our Space Exploration and Colonisation efforts, our new Callender will begin. It has 12 months of 30 days each.
We are positioned in south half of the galaxy, east of the east/west border and close to the end of the Stellar Disk.
Slavery for Hard Manual Labor has been re-instated on both the mines and the fields. All must work thier hardest for the glory of Rome in the trying days that lie ahead.

2200.01.05:
Admiral Vopisca Bradua has been put in charge of the Classis Martiana (1st Fleet) and put in charge of military Survey of the nearby systems for suiteable colonia-sites.

2200.02.07:
Crown Princss Julia Aurelia Flavius has been named Heir to the Empire.

2200.08.02:
We met what can only be described as a "Fallen Empire". The Kundan Progenitors are Enigmatic Observers. They indicated they knew of the human species a very long time. Their power is beyond anything we can dream off right now.
We offered them to become Romans too, but they rejected saying they had a "higher heritage".

2200.09.21:
The Gas Giant Hyperion in Rome System showns lifesings in the upper atmosphere. Could there be a alien biosphere this close in front of our door?

2200.11.06:
In Srudma, between the Roman Empire and the Progenitors we found a pre-FTL civilistions. The orbiting station indicates they are not far behind us in the space race.

2201.03.16:
The exploration of Hyperion Failed and the Survey Corps lead scientist was killed.

2201.05.12:
Treachery is afoot!
It was revealed that another sectret Soceity had infiltrated our Colonisation attempt and now our Military too. They have been secretly diverting funds towards a own navy. While thier Shipyard on Palace Hill was discovered, they did manage to take off towards space. Our fleet moves to intercept these Traitors of the "Illuminaty".

2202.03.08:
Our Fleet eliminated the Illuminaty Fleet. One of the ships has been disabeled without being totally destoryed and there a still lifesigns aboard. A boarding operation is being prepared to capture prisioners and intel.

2202.08.20:
After the boarding action we have rooted out the Illuminaty infiltration of our neo-roman soceity. However, several of the ships and the leadership of the infiltration remain unacounted for. We will have to pursue them across the stars.

2202.11.29:
The Illuminaty have been tracked to the Cuunbar System, close to the Progenitors Border. They are to noumerous to be enganged for now and also include a unknown ship design.
Two more systems remain to be checked.

2203.01.22:
The early Space-Age civilisation has been identified as the Zelvan from Vurl-Patred in Srudma System. They are indeed in an early space age, about the level of earth about 200 years ago.
If allowed to reach the stars, their clear Xenopbic and Militarist streaks will be problematic and they will have to be dealt with. It is considered to attack them pre-emptively, but considerable ground forces would be needed for that to succeed. 3 Assault legions with fleet support should be sufficient.

2203.04.06:
A much smaller Illuminaty fleet has been found in Cipollan. We will engage them later, as still one system remains.

2203.08.01:
Survey data indicates the Illuminaty fleet in Cipollan has been destroyed by something else. We wonder who - or what - that could have been.*

2203.08.17:
In Impal Tov we found Illuminaty Raiding party, a Cosmozean and what appears to be an inhabited, alien Space Station.


2203.11.28:
The Cultist fleet in Impal Tov has also been destroyed by other beings.*

2204.03.02:
The first 4 Cohorts have been recuited and are being send towards Srudma to nib that possible threat in the bud. The Progenitors will be likely displeased by this operation.

2204.07.01:
The Space Station in Impal Tov identified itself after translating our Message. They call themself the "Artisan Troupe".

2204.12.07:
We have subjugated the Zelvan people. While thier resistance was stiff and the scatered nation states united against our invasion, our troops ultimatively prevailed due to our technological Advantage.
To better facilitate the Transition Period, Curfews have been instanted and the population has been temporarily enslaved.

2205.11.16:
We found what appears to be the Home Planet of another space Faring Empire in the Nevidrall System. This species prefers Tropical planets.

2205.12.05:
As a large oceanic planet has been found in the Impal Tov System, a spaceport is being build in Srudma. The goal is to colonise the planet using Zelvan colonists.

2205.12.26:
Lando - the Starsystem to our north seems contain another Early Space Age civilisation.
It appears that species might be desert dwelling.

2206.09.02:
The United Norillga Coalition contacted us today. It appears they pre-empted our attempts to establish communication. They appear to be Erudite Explorers.
They seems to take umbrage on our staunch Nationalism**
 
2206.09.20:
We have identified the Pre-FTL species in Lando System. They are the Immutharan from Raggani. They are a focussed on aquiring wealth by any means - even military force. As such they will pose a danger if contacting the Norillga. Preventitive Invasion has been ordered.

2207.02.21:
Our 4 Cohorts have begun landing on Raggani. As before, seperate Nationstates seem to scramble to unify against our invasion

2207.03.22:
It turns out we had our Starcharts all wrong. Sol is just around the corner, north of the Norillga territory!

2207.05.18:
It appears our Earthbound Cousins have made it into space as well. They seem to be about as new to the galactic stage as we are. However something about the Ship designs appears distinctly alien and inhuman...


2207.06.10:
Raggani has been captured as well. However only little of the planet surface is usable at the current time. As such enslavement was deem ineffective.

2207.09.23:
Per Imperial Decree, Slavery has been highly regulated within our Empire now being closer to "Mandatory Civil Service".

2208.01.02:
Either the brothers on our home have changed dramatically, or this 'Sol' is despite all appereances not our home.
While they do consider themself humans, they do not share the genetic modification we made with the Umbra Virus.
They call themself "the Aldar Way" and seem to believe in a weird new religion wich teaches that "conflict is inevitable".***
They see seem to be as intent on spreading that religion as we are integrating every species into Roman Culture.
Did the Experimental Wormhole drive throw us into a alternative reality?


*I asume Space Amobea hunting Space Whales. The 2nd one might have engaged the Enclave Station too.

**Fanatic Materialist meet Fanatic Spiritualists.

***Basically another alternative Human species I had cooked up, following my Aldar Ideas. They are Fanatic Spiritualist/Militarist. Wich makes thier AI type "Evangelist Zealots" (also what would be my empires AI type, so they should get along well).

Anastasius Aurelius Flavius; Champion of the People, Charismatic; Heir: 2213.04.24 (21); Rule:


Persons of Note:
Basic Life Expectancy: 57 Years.
Governor Numerius Apollonarius; Intelectual, Iron Fist; Palace Hill, Rome System.
Admiral Vopisca Bradua; Resilient (+25 Years); Scout (Sensor Range); Logistician (Upkeep)

2208.04.15:
Angleruth in Jughum contains a Renaisance Age Civilisation. While they prooves no danger and would be only a very limited resource, they may still serve us if from of a Agressive Observation post.

2208.06.18:
Governor Apollonarius shows new skill with the handling of Slaves. Under his rule they offer additional work performance without any discontent.

2208.07.11:
In Athuna System east of the Norillga we found two things of Interest:
The first appear to be the shattered remains of a Niven Ring. It is likely uninhabitable, but will no doubt proove interestesting from a science perspective.
The other is another Enclave Station. They appear to be different from the Artisans we encountered before.

2209.03.06:
The Observation post over Angleruth has been created and ordered to do agressive Observation of the local population for scientific benefits.

2209.06.07:
The Enclave in Athuna contacted us. They call themself "the Curators", an ancient order dedicated to maintaining knowledge and ideally averting 'another intergalactic Dark Age'.

2210.02.28:
Mutual Rivalry has been declared between the Roman Empire and Norillga Coalition. We expect the tension will soon reach the point of a war, one way or the other.

2211.04.01:
The Aldar Seem as endangered by the Norillga as we and declared them Rivals as well.

2213.04.04:
Emperor Justinianus Flavius died today at age 61.

2213.04.24:
Crown Prince Anastasius Aurelius Flavius (21) has been named as Heir

2214.03.02:
Thus far we had been hiding our strenght, hoping the Norillga would be tricked to attack us. However as this does not seem to bear fruit, we will no longer hide our strenght. Spaceports will be build both in Srudma and Lando, in hopse of crushing the enemy under our production capabilities.

2215.04.01:
All 3 spaceports are finised and the one in Palace Hill has been spitting out Corvettes without end.

2216.01.08:
We signed a NAP with the Aldar way. While it seems likely that we will have to integrate them down the line, for now we can co-exist.

2216.06.14:
The "Fire Reavers" have appeared. They are pirates, preying upon our Mining Stations and workers. Thier lifes have been rendered forfeit by their crimes and they are to be engaged on sight by our military.
Luckily they made the mistake to place their base into regularily scouted territory. Their fleet and station have already been found.

2216.09.08:
The Aldar wanted to sign a Defensive Pact with us. We feel however that this level of ties would go too far.

2216.11.25:
The pirate Fleet has already been destoryed and the pirate vault has been secured.

2216.12.01:
Over palace hill the first Medicae Repair Station is build in the name of our Empress.

2217.03.15:
The oversized* Armed Repairplatform "Julia Aurelia I" is operational.

2217.05.22:
We finally have the strenght to engange the Illuminaty Fleet in Cuunbar.

2217.11.29:
Our victory in Cuunbar raises some Alarming questions. The most important are: How could they field that much more ships then they originally build in secrecy on Palace Hill? An how did they aquire that powerfull ship of clearly alien design?

2218.01.08:
Our survey efforts have finally reached the Galactic core to the North. The survey teams will return their attention towards our Space.

2218.03.18:
We found the source of the Illuminaties newfound Strenght. Apparently they have been found a abandone Alien Shipyard on thier flight from Rome. While at first they have only used it to build more of thier ships, they now figured out how to build ships following templates still in the Shipyards computers. Ships significantly more powerfull then our Corvettes!
We are certain the Shipyard is in the Bax System.

2218.03.23:
There have been malfunctions in the Observation Implants introduce on Angleruth. A science ship is needed to clean up any unwanted side effects (like xenocidical tendencies) in the local population.

2219.01.02:
Our Fleet has reached it's maximum capacity for the time being. We now feel confident that we can engage the Illuminaty Shipyard System.

2219.01.29:
The faulty implants have been removed. Relevant Data could be gathered through the incident.

2219.06.30:
Despite jumping in way to close to the enemy shipyard, our forces managed to destroy both the Shipyard and the local fleet. The Shipyards main engineer was among the capturees and his knowledge will proove usefull.
However the Illuminaties Charismatic leader had left the station weeks ago. On a bigger version of the alien ship we had thus far encountered.

2219.12.05:
The "Tianky" or Space Whales are a docile, cosmozean lifeform. They are are mostly cocerend with Siphoning mater from gas giants. However their unique biology taht allows them to do so could be translated into the Energy Syphon. A weapon with that capability to break down shields very quickly.

2219.12.06:
Military Intelligence has found several possible locations for the Cultist Flagship.

2220.01.07:
The Norillga have colonised the Impal Tov System, as we had to cancel the colonisation years ago for infrastructure projects. As soon has we have dealt with the Illuminaty Menace, we can focus our full attention onto them.

2220.03.13:
We signed a mutual research treaty with the Aldar Way. This will homogenise our technology, as we prepare for the long overdue war on the Norillga.

2220.08.02:
Between our Salvage Operation against the Illuminaty and the help thanks to the Aldar, we finally figured out how to create primitive deflector shields of our own. Our Corvettes are being retrofitted with a Shield on top of additional armor and the energy Syphon.

2221.05.07:
We finally found the Illuminaty Flagship and their female Leader. It is time to end this insurrection and interference in the future of humanity once and for all!

2221.08.21:
We disabeled the enemy Flagship and are preparing to board it. The first Cohors is being send to secure the ship crawling with Illuminaty loyalists.

2221.10.02:
Quest for the Secrets of the Precursors:
We found Artifacts belonging to the "First League", a federation taht used to cover a significant portion of this galaxy not to long ago. A lot more are to be found among the stars.

2222.06.06:
We made contact with 2 more Fallen empires:
The Netraxi Conservers are keepers of knowledge. They consdier a whole host of technologies "Forbidden".
The Jusstkan Remnant in turn is only concerend with Maintaining it's space. No colonise to to thier territory will be tollerated.

2222.08.08:
The Illuminaty Flagship has been secured after a long battle. Most of the enemies - including the leader - committed suicide or suicidal attacks rather then be taker prisioner.
The ship has been renamed the "Justinianus Flavius I", in honor of our later first Stellar Emperor.

2222.09.07:
We found ancient, automated mining drones among the stars. We decided for "agressive Examination" as soon as our fleet has been fully repaired.

2222.12.20:
In Lessim our Fleet ran into what could only be described as "A giant fortress". It destroyed our entire fleet and the 1st Cohort. Admiral Vopisca Bradua died trying to emergency FTL with the heavily damage Illuminaty Flagship.
Our fleet has to be rebuild quickly before the Norillga smell blood in the water.


*Special Ability of my government is to build a "Oversized Space Platform once per ruler life". Lacked the tech back during my 1st ruler.

 

Map of the Galaxy as far as known:

In Orange we have the main Antagonist (for now).

In red, north of it we have the Aldar Way.
Other 3 are teh Xenophile, Xenophobe and Materialist Empire.

(2231.05.02-) General Octavia Procula; Cautious (Weapon Range)


2223.01.23:
We asked the Curator Enclave about what they knew about this Fortress. Apparently it is very old and has been disabled and explored repeatedly - only to re-awaken a short time afterwards. Even the Fallen empires apparently failed at fully exploring or permanently disabling it thus far. It's purpose other then continuing to "be", is unclear.
A Imperial Edict has been issued to "analyse, disable and scrap the giant fortress". Even if it will take several generations, we will do so. The Curators did offer us detailed information for a suiteable "Donation". However right now we can not afford that much money.

2223.10.10:
In a feat only possible to the Heirs of Rome, we ahve already restored 8/25 of our fleet.

2225.04.07:
In cooperation with the Aldar we reverse-engineered the Fusion reactors aquired during the Illuminaty Crisis. We will now be able to field more powerfull shields and weapons on all our Ships.

2225.07.22:
The fleet production had been halted at 13 Units, to upgrade the Assembly Yard over Palace hill. Now have a 50% Shorter and 10% cheaper building time for Corvettes.

2225.08.02:
When we tried to invite the Aldar to a joined Stike on the Norillga, we were informed that they were already fighting another foe - the "Zum Star Union". Our fleet is send to localise this new enemy.

2226.06.02:
We contacted the Zum Star Union.
They appear to be Federation Builders that expanded father then even the Romans. However, they seem to have neglected thier Military while doing so and are now on the loosing end of the conflict with the Aldar Way.

post-15884-0-74113400-1478265403_thumb.jpg

2227.09.12:
Our fleet has regrown to 18/34 Corvettes.

2228.12.09:
Our fleet has once again reached the capacity it had before it ran afoul of the fortress.
It appears the Aldar are Still running on against the Zum's Orbital Defenses. The War has been dragging out for some time now.

2230.03.11:
Our fleet has reached it's full strenght of 35 units for the time being. However our Energy production is not quite keeping up with the demand.

2230.06.12:
The Progenitors contacted us today. They asume the Roman Stellar Empire will not be long for this Universe and demanded Pops for thier "Endangered Species Preservation Programm". We accepted thier demands for two simple reasons:
1. To show them how Romans truly live.
2. As a promise to those put into the Progentor Preserve: We will get you back! And not even a fallen Empire will prevent us from doing so!

2231.02.09:
A lone Comet was sighted in the Rome System. This is considered a omen of good things to come by the Roman People on Palace Hill.

2231.05.02:
Admiral Octavia Procula (29; Cautious) was put in Charge of the Classis Baltica (2nd and main Fleet).

2231.07.02:
With the upgrade of our Power Infrastructure finally giving us the energy needed to opearte our Fleet, we declared war on the Norillga. The Aldar are still bound in their war with the Zum, so they have not been asked to support us for a part of the spoils.
Goal are the southern Colonias in Impal Tov and Nithascal System. Once the Norillga have been intergrated, thier superior Energy production skills will work for us.

Basic Life Expectancy: 57 Years.
(died 2224.03.16; 65) Governor Numerius Apollonarius; Intelectual, Iron Fist; Palace Hill, Rome System.

(2234.02.20-) Admiral Gaius Licinius; Agressive (Fire Rate), Trickers (C-Speed, FTL-Escape; 2236.04.16 during mining raiding)

2331.12.19:
The 2nd to 4th Cohors has retruend to Srudma. Not for a invasion this time, but to be reinforced with fresh Cohorts recruited from the local Zelvan.
Meanwhile a enemey fleet passing by rome was identified as carrying Kinetic Weaponry. Our ship designes are adapted to counter that weaponry. While the fleet is preparing an ambush in Impal Tov.

2232.03.10:
Battle of Impal Tov was a disaster. 16/35 ships managed to escape with their life. The main fault is given to the superior Kinetic weaponry of the enemy.
Admiral Ocvatia learned a few tricks in the area of Evasive combat.


2232.09.02:
With the Fleet repaired, assaults on the enemy mining infrastructure have been ordered.

2233.10.11:
On the retreat to Rome after the Incursion, the Classis Balticus was cased by the enemy fleet. Even after the the fleet had reached the port, the enemy did not stop it's chase.
In the ensuing exchange over Palce Hill the Classis and the Medicae station named after our Empress were utterly annhilated and the spaceport extremely heavily damaged, but the enemy fleet - countering a total of 36 Corvettes - was annihilated. This war will be decided by who can rebuild his fleet faster and stronger.

2234.02.20:
Admiral Gaius Licinius has been put in charge of the Classis Atlantica. He is tasked with further disruption assaults, while we rebuild our fleet.

2236.04.16:
Gaius Licinius operations deep in enemy territory allowed him to experiment with a few new tactics. He became something of a Trickers (+ Combat Speed, less emergency FTL damage).

2236.08.03:
The enemy Coilgun technology has been reverse Engineered and is being deployed on all new ships. Existing ships will have to be retrofitted with the better weapon as soon as possible.

2237.01.29:
By now the Fleet has been regrown to 31/39. All reachable miningstations in the nothern half of the Norillga territory have been destroyed. The fleet returns for a refit and repair.

2237.12.20:
The Fleet has been fully repaired and retrofitted for the new Mk 2 Kinetic Drivers. Now we can begin the long overdue attacks on the enemy territory.

2238.06.14:
The fleet has reached Impal Tov. The siege of the local Starport has begun.

2238.09.03:
Despite loosing most of our Fleet in the assault, the Impal Tov Starport was defeated. The fleet is now going into bombardment position.

2239.09.27:
The first Legion of 12 Cohors has been formed in Srudma. General Manius Arius (37; Eager) is given command. They embark towards Impal Tov, to capture the Norillga Colonia there.

2239.12.13:
East of us lies the Norillga area. East of that, the Athuna System with it's Curator Enclave and shattered Ringworld. East of that lies Shariat, where a Tundra dwelling species appears to have just reached the space age.

2240.03.03:
We contacted the Athallid Assembly to the far east. They are Federation builders like the Zum, but total newcomemrs among the Stars, but are under protection of the Norillga and accordingly closed thier borders to us.
Their position near Athuana and thier relation with the Norillga makes them interesting targets for Conquest. We already informed them of our intention to Conquer them.

2240.06.04:
Our 1st Legion has landed in Impal Tov.

2240.07.09:
After only a month of ground warfare, Impal Tov has been secured by our forces.
We have about enough pressure on the Norillga to push half of our war demands through. The fleet will return for repairs before we decide on any further steps.

2240.08.20:
Empress Julia Aurelia Flavius died today. Crown Prince Anastasius Aurelius Flavius (48) takes control of the Empire. However due to his progressing age, the fear is high that he will not be Emperor for long.

2240.09.13:
Crown Princess Irene Flavia Flavius(18) has been named Heiress.

2240.10.07:
Aldar and Zum finally made peace. The Eldar aquired the Colonia of Evexus in the middle of Zum Territory.

2241.03.17:
The Medicae Station "Anastasius Aurelius I" has been build over Palace Hill.

2241.09.29:
The Fleet is back to 25 units and at the Front. It has already driven off a enemy recapture attempt in Impal Tov and managed to cause heavy damage to the enemy invasion transports during their flight.

2242.01.12:
A enemy Destroyer class ship has appeared in Impal Tov. While we managed to defeat it, this shows signs that our enemy still has too much technological Advantage. Assaults deeper into enemy Territory seem unlikely.
While we did not manage to Capture Nithascal, this is still a solid victory for the "Stellar Roman Empire". We decided to make peace while on a high note.

Governor Tiberius Salinator; Resilient;  

2242.02.08:
Reeling from the Humiliation of thier defeat, teh Norillga canceled their Defense pact with the Athalid Assembly.
War has been declared with the goal of Conquering Shariat.
The Impal Tov Colonia has been put under command of Governor Tiberius Salinator (36)

2242.02.11:
Zum and Norillga entered a mutual Defense pact.

2242.07.28:
The Athalid fleet reached the Lando System, but thier course puts them on a way to a mostly unprotected mining System.
Meanwhile the Classis Atlantica has reached the Shariat System.

2243.06.19:
While the fleet in Shariat had to wait for reinforcements before attacking the spaceport, it did not have to wait for action. They Athalid fleet rushed back to their home system, only come under fire and be oblitereated moments after emerging from FTL.

2243.06.24:
The Norillga renewed their Guarantee of independance. However due to the running Armistrice they are not able to intervene right now.

2243.09.13:
After heavy battle our weary fleet maanged to destroy the Shariat Spaceport. The 1st Legion has been mobilised towards the system, while the Classis Atlantica starts the blockade and bombardment.

2244.09.09:
After a quick ground invasion the Athalid government relented. Now begins the pacification of the planet.

2247.01.04:
As our Roman Ancestors once made Aquducts to raise cities where no normal water flows, we too now can shape the landscape on a unprecedented Scale. Terraforming has been developed.

2248.05.30:
Admiral Gaius Licinius died at age 58, while doing preparations for the next war.

2248.09.05:
Two Norillga border expansions have cut us of from the Shariat Colonia.

2251.05.26:
The Emperor has died at age 59.

2251.06.20:
Constantinus Severus Flavius(23) has been namend Heir

2251.11.09:
North/east, just from beyond the Zum we got Contacted from a new Species, the Bos'Pachtux Coalitio (Pachtux for short).
They are Fanatical Purifiers (plain and simple). While they do claim a large section of space, the Jusstkan Remanent has them somewhat boxed in.

2251.12.02:
The Zum joined the Fedeartion "Propitous Pact". The federation parter is for now unknown.

2252.02.01:
A new war has been declared on the Norillga and their unkown defensive Ally. The goal is the ceeding of the Nevidrall and Nithascal Systems.

2252.06.11:
The 'ally' of the Norillga has been identified as the "Mandate of Gemma". It is a single planet newcommer Empire. They will likely become mere footnotes of history.

2254.05.22:
While conventional military Wisdom holds that Corvettes are unsuited to fight a Spaceport, this is mostly a question of scale. When a full L (50) Corvettes descent on a Spaceport using Mk2 drivers and afterburners to close the distance, even the best spacepot will be in for a tough fight.

2554.10.30:
The Nithascal spaceport has been shattered. While the Fleet was damaged, not a single ship was actually lost.

2255.02.06:
2nd Generation FTL drives have been introduced.

2255.04.13:
Nithascal has fallen to our 1st Legion. The fleet is send back to be retrofitted with new FTL drives and being repaired.

2255.09.20:
Enemy Fleet transports tried to explore our space, but where intercepted by the Teuteburg Snare Platform in Lando.

2257.03.04:
New Destroyer size hulls have been developed.

2257.03.30:
70 Corvettes have gathered in Nevidrall System, but the enemy Spaceport is also the most well built up of all thus far. Victory is a certainty, but how big will be the casualties?

2257.06.30:
There have been no ship casualties and only medium damage to a few ships.

2258.03.17:
Norillga Capitol Captured. General Marius aquired stubborness (No more XP gain).

2258.03.22:
The Navarill Sector has been formed, including all currently aquired Norillga Planets. Due to their racial Specialistion the focus will be energy production. Only one planet in Unatra remains unclaimed.

2258.08.04:
The Pachtux request our assitance in a war onto the Zum. However, we rejected it. We will not partake in wholesale slaughter of species. Especially ones that can be integrated easily.

2259.03.01:
Bax III is a interesting World. The system is close enough to the enigmatic Fortress that we can reliably stake our claim on it. It is also very large and would be a good Colonial fit for the Immutharan from the Lando System. And furthermore it contains "Titanic Life". Basically on that planet, Godzilla walks. The Colonisation has been ordered.*

2260.05.25:
With Bax Prime we now have "officially" created the first Roman Colony World. And not even the first human colony world...

2261.10.01:
The Aldar Way wanted to declare joint war on the Zum. We rejected as the conditions were unfavorable for us.

2262.10.22:
General Marius Arius has died of old age.

2262.11.12:
In preparation for a future conquest, we broke our NAP with the Aldar Way. This "Sol System" will belong to the Roman Empire.

2265.11.10:
Zum and Aldar have been approaching one another and ended their Rivalry. That happened most likely due to the Pachtux threat.

2267.07.02:
While we already had contact with the Curator Alpha Enclave, we now also have contact with the Curator Sigma Enclave. Thier station is near the Zi Pok Vortex Blackhole, North of the Aldar.

2268.04.03:
We declared war on the Final Norillga Colonia in Unatra. It is time to bring them fully into our fold.

2268.12.17:
Unatra has been secured, but the Gemma ally is not yet willing to surrender the planet.

2269.07.13:
The Pachtux saw an opporutinity and also decalred war on the Gemma/Norillga alliance.

2270.04.16:
The Norrilga Surrendered. Gemma are likely to be conquered by the Pachtux.

2270.05.02:
We became a Patron of the Arts for the next 5 years.

2272.07.26:
The Aldar just took Athuna from us, just as we had gathered the nessesary influence to claim the system with  border outpost.

2274.01.01:
Work to integrate new Romans into our Leadership has been started. No longer will we be limited to our own, short lived people.




*Using the new Expansion Planer for once. Really helps with those larger empires.

2274.03.13:
The Artisan Enclave created a truly unique marvel of art. As thier lead artists said:
"Greetings, patron Irene Flavia I! We have come up with a gorgeous new type of architecture, specifically tuned to improve crowds' understanding of one another. It functions thanks to a mix of using the populace's subconscious bias against each other and art, while then smashing it all and presenting a new form of unity."
As this will sureley increase the unity in the Roman Stellar Empire we have aquired this building and gave the order to build it on Bax Prime in Bax System.

2274.05.03:
The Aldar Way just declared war on the Box'Pachtux. As both navies are about equal to ours, we can not say if that was a action of desperation or bravery.

2274.09.12:
In Hadriccus between Impal Tov and the Galactic border, a new minor civilisation has reached the space age.
Contant has yet to be established.

2275.01.03:
The newcommer has been identified as the Estwani Imperium, a "Harmonious Collective". Having them in our backyard will definitely not do. The fleet has been send to prepare for the Invasion of their Planet and it's addition to the Navarill Sector.

2275.04.02:
Now that our fleets are in position, a change of tactic was decided and a NAP has been offered. The goal is to make them our protectorate and later integrate them.

2276.03.02:
Today we made contact with the "Vorta Star Dominion", a medium power in the south/west quadrant.*

2276.05.10:
Ucrichi and Nomotar are two outlying systems along the east/west border in the south half. They will also become the demarcations of our Empire towards the Vorta Star Dominion. Urichi will have to be Terraformed first, wich requires claiming it with a Frontier post first.
Meanwhile Xeno's have been allowed for leadership. While this will cause lasting tensions with the original Roman population, the imrpoove and additional leadership resources will be well worth it.
It the same simply tactic already used by the Old Republic: Take the heirs of their current leaders as hostage. Bring them to Rome. Educate them as fellow Romans. Put them into the Military so they aquire Citizen status. Then after they are roman, let them return to thier people and let them do the Conversion for Roman culture. It may take half a dozen generations, but in the End they will all be romans.

2276.12.04:
We found a Ancient, Fully Automated Dreadnought. According to the Curators, it is millions of years old and has been partoling that system automatically for most of that time. Many a new empire tried to put the last of it's kind to it's rest. None succeeded.

2277.11.02:
The Ucrichi System contains a Tropical Dwelling pre-FTL species in the Industrial Age, and that on the largest planet. That means a infiltration operation could allow us to lay claim to the system with little effort.

2278.09.17:
The "Glorious Axis", a minor Federation from the North/west quandrant seeks association status with us. We accepted for the time being.

2279.03.20:
The infiltration of the Yeethkri in Ucrichi System has begun. Without incidents it is expected to take 50 months.

2279.10.12:
Gemma has lost it's war agaisnt the Pachtux. One planet was overrun, the other requested protectorate status from the Zum.
Even the Aldar are faring poorly.

2280.01.10:
The Aldar seek a renewal of the age old NAP with the Romans. However, how poorly they fare in the war against the Pachtux that they started clearly shows their weakness.
Even if their Sol is not our Sol, their City of Rome is not the one of our Ancestors and if their people are not our direct brothers - both shall belong to the Roman Stellar Empire! It is the only way to protect this species from extermination by the Pachtux.




*Another one of "my" Empires. They were my take on the Dominion from Star Trek.

2280.01.10:
War has been declared on the Aldar Way. The Colonia in Sirius and the two in Ayfiri are to be seperated out into a new Empire, whose government will be amiciable towards us.

2282.01.16:
Terrible news reached out of Palace Hill today. It appears Empress Irene Flavia Flavius has died at age 59. Heir Constantinus Severus Flavius I takes over. Irene Claudia Flavius named as Heirs. The exact times and causes of these happenings are not known to the public.*

2283.03.02:
Due to the Invasions of the Bos'Pachtux, not many of the targets could be aquired. However the Aldar Frontier post in Athuna was destroyed and Sirius has should be liberateable. Meanly the Zum have also attacked the Bos, putting the warfavor potentially back into Aldar hands.

2283.02.10:
With 2 of the 3 wargoals, the Kanadrius Colony Captured and the Alpha Centaury under bombardment, we are able to force a partial Victory in the peace negotiations.

2284.04.01:
The Nomotar Colony has been established. Also the Aldar Way is suprisingly chalant about the war they just lost.

2284.07.11:
Athuna has been taken via a Frontier Outpost. Relations with the local Curator Alpha Enclave is likely to increase.
A research agreement has been signed with the Sigma Enclave.

2284.09.23:
In Rimmock to the far west the Mining Drone processing hub was found. However it is out of reach to utilise any resources that might be in the system.

2285.01.02:
The Infiltration of the Otaga in Uchrici Systems has been completed.

2285.07.01:
While the regulated slavery has been proven quite beneficial, the strain at keeping people in line while using it is getting to great to handle for internal Politics.
As such Emperor Constantinus Severus Flavius declared the abolishment of slavery per imperial decret.

2286.10.09:
The Estwani requested Protectorate status on their own. It was granted.

2287.01.06:
In Nomotar the Iron Age Civilisation was put under Agressive observation.

2287.11.01:
The Zum won their war against the Bos'Pachtux. Mandate of Gemma has been restored to both planets and the Plov system has been libearted.

2289.11.01:
The Bax System contains two easily coloniseable Ocean Planets. Terraforming has been begun on both - once to Continental, once to Tropical Climate.

2290.05.04:
In the north half of the galaxy, the two large powers Jhoolian (Evangelsit Zealots) and Jhab Simor (Fanatical Purifiers) are at war. The Jhoolian are the agressors.

2292.01.01:
With the first few waves of "Romen Re-education" complete, per decret additional Roman schools have been founded on any colonia planet. That will drastically increase the integration of the local Xeno population**



*I overlooked that Event. As a result, I only noticed it after the heir.

**Frontier Commissars, how it might be viewed as from the Roman perspective.

This is the galaxy as a whole. The Roman Star Empire started from the south/east quadrant.

post-15884-0-67130700-1478530228_thumb.jpg

 

Short term goals a conquering both species to the north, the Aldar and the Zum (Priest/Warrior cats).

post-15884-0-65197100-1478530281_thumb.jpg

 

Going through that small corridor between the 2 fallen (or over the southern Xenophiles space, as they allow it) I could got for the Vorte Dominion.

post-15884-0-41909600-1478530522_thumb.jpg

 

Intgrating both Eastern Fallen empires would be beneficial. It would also give me the resources nessesary to take on any awakened empire or crisis, but that is a long way off. Also the beacon of Unity system has a Ringworld section called "Palatial district" that happens to be at the center of the Galaxy. Just about where I would want my capital to be.

 

And in the north we have two fanatics going at it. We will see wich madness we will have to deal with.

2292.10.21:
Governor Tiberius Salinator (86) died.
Fosalin (Xeno, 48) takes over the Navarill Sector

2294.06.07:
The Bos'Pachtux and Aldar ended their war, with no colonies having been siezed by either side. Reports say that the Bos had been winning soundly.
War has been declared on the Aldar for the missing Ayfiri Colony and for their copy Sol System. The Uriy Pact will be co-defending them.

2294.07.12:
The Classis Baltica has entered the Ayrrin System. It consists of 5 Minos class Cruisers, 40 Strictus Class Destroyers and 40 leftover Raptix class Corvettes*

2294.11.04:
Both Brax Planets have been terraformed. Colonisation can happen at any future time.

2295.07.01:
The Uriy fleet appeared in Shariat to the far east.

2296.01.24:
While we captured and are holding Sol in the Aldar Territory, the Uriy overran the Shariat System. A 2nd Legion is being prepared to return the planet to us as soon as the fleet is dispatched.

2296.05.01:
The enemy fleet was driven back, but under heavy casualties, among them all 5 Cruisers**
The fleet enters bombardment position in Shariat to prepare recaptuing of the planet.

2296.05.24:
As the creation of the 2nd Legion will take a lot of time, the 1st Legion has been ordered to come over from Sol.

2297.02.08:
The 1st Legion has recaptured the Shariat System.

2298.01.20:
The Zum are attacking the Bos'Pachux again.

2298.05.03:
The 2nd Legion has been created on Vurl-Patred.

2299.01.16:
The Uriy invasion fleet carried considerable salvageable Technology. In the last 3 years all the debris in Shariat has been gathered, advancing military Research in several fields by months or even years.

2299.09.23:
The two target planets, Shariat and 2 additional planets have been captured. However the Aldar are no giving up, still hoping for help from the Uriy fleet. 2 Planets to occupy remain.

2300.02.06:
The Aldar recaptured thier planet in the Ayfiri System.

2300.06.09:
Doctor Xib has been hired from the Curator Alpha Enclave.

2300.09.12:
All reachable Aldar Way planets have been captured. Assault on the Uriy will commence once the fleet has been fully repaired.

2301.02.07:
The fleet is now on the way to Uriy space, to ensure that the Uriy consider retracting thier support for the Aldar.

2302.06.10:
The Uriy fleet was spotted moving back via the far eastern corridor. The Classis Baltica has been ordered to intercept them. Loss of that Navi will likely force a surrender from the Aldar.

2302.07.14:
Without any further warfare, the Aldar relented.

2302.07.15:
The Uriy appear to have grown "fond" of our people, for beating them in Warfare. As a result, they choose a non-agression pact with us.***
On Imperial decret, a severe reognaisation is being done: Bax Prime will be the new Capitol of the Stellar Roman Empire. Sol will be the Capitol of the new "Earth" sector, however governing on the new systems is not yet fully possible due to the liberated planets.
The new "Palace Hill" Sector has been formed, inlcuding the old Capitol and many of the smaler systems in the area.


2305.04.05:
Another Infiltration has begun, this time on Verdurium in the Uwheron System. The local species had reached the Eearly Space Age and they should be easily integrateable.

2308.10.01:
Work on a Empire Capitol Complex has begun on Bax Prime, the Capitol Planet. The process is expected to take 3 years to complete.

2309.04.09:
In Dwumgar on the south galactic border we found a piece of ceramic orbiting the local star. We decided to investigate further.

2311.02.02:
With only slight delays our experienced Infiltration Corp managed to aquire Verdurem.

2311.05.03:
The Avabian Interplanetary Heirarchy a power from the North/west quadrant - started trading Strategic resources with us (excess Engos Vapor vs Garantion Ore).

2311.11.08:
The Empire Capitol Complex on Brax Prime has been finished. Work on Roman Education Ministery has begun. It will coordinate the romanizing Education in the Schools across the Empire****.


2311.12.17:
The reasons of why a Ceramic Pot was in orbit around Dwumgar's will remain unanswered forever. Our scientists just "gave up".

2313.11.26:
Another war against the Aldar. This time the target is the two easternmost Systems, Alpha Centauri and Ulym. Once again the Uriy will intervene as part of a defense pact.

2313.12.03:
The Zum are attacking the Bos'Pachtux once again. However due to thier low power these petty squables are not considered relevant for us.

2314.11.25:
The 1st and 2nd Legion captured both primary Targets. Meanwhile the Uriy fleet was spotted by our ally on a approach to the Northern End. They have not yet re-appearad on our sensors so thier target is unclear.

2314.12.23:
The Uriy Fleet is targetting Earth, Sol System. However our fleet is in position to intercept.

2315.04.06:
The enemy Fleet destroyed Earth Spaceport and then made a Emergency FTL jump to avoid facing our fleet already breathing down thier neck.

2315.10.01:
A 3rd Legion is begin created, the first one to be raised on Brax Prime.

2318.02.25:
The Uriy Fleet was engaged in Ulym System. The enemy was effectively annihilated despite emergency FTL.

2319.03.03:
Shield Capacitors have been aquired from the Uriy Debris. The fleet is redeployed with them.

2319.07.06:
It was decided to just take Alpha Centaury, as currently the Uriy Space can not be engaged while they could attack us at any time and the war is demanding on inernal stability.

2319.07.11:
The demands were accepted.
Integration of the Splinter-Aldar Empire has begun.
We also declared a Rivalry unto the Heirarchy of Krull (Formerly Vorta Dominion). The hope is that they will start a war they will loose.




*In the 1.3 Meta Corvettes become utterly useless once Destroyers are around. Except the enemy relies entirely on large/heavy guns, then they might never be hit.

**Misdesigned my ships. They were damage heavily by the enemy corvette swarm.

***I was at war with them. Yet at the same time we had over +150 Realtions due to Befrienders and mutual Rivals.

****Ministery of Benevolence.

The east front is Dominated by teh Zum Species - Federation Builder Catpeople:

post-15884-0-81755900-1478601095_thumb.jpg

They in paritcular block access to the Final Aldar Colony, the Box'Pachtux space and the Uriy space.

 

In the north the remainders of the Aldar Way and the Gemma are in the Way (vassal of the Zum):

The Gemma have it rather bad, as they spawned right in the "do not colonise" Zone of a Xenophobe FE. With normal empires on all other Fronts and later into the game. They got thier two local colonies, that is it. I am not even sure if I should try to integrated them - right now the FE is not calling for purges only because that is the home system of that AI.

 

On the west, the Vorta have been expanding towards us:

Besides from the 3 nearby planets, there is a rather big "no mans land" towrads Roman Space.

Doctor Xib; Boki (Curator Alpha); Curator


2320.08.06:
Way back in our conflict with the Illuminaty infiltration, one of the technologies we got a glance into was Energy Lances. Without needing to go through the full Plasma or Laser line and with the Battleship hull being only few months away, we began development on this weapon platform.

2321.02.14:
Our first attempt to storm the Enigmatic Fortress has begun. Classis Baltica will follow the steps of those that originally found it and jump straight into Orbit via Uwheron System.*

2321.09.29:
Our assault was a utter desaster, but the Foresses weakness is now obvious:
It relies entirely on it's Kinetik Artillery. Armored Destroyers should be capable of countering that specific weapon-array effectively.

2322.06.21:
The Zum Mandate started integrating the Gemma Colonies.

2323.05.13:
Per Imperial Decret, the Technological Enlightenment of Primitive Species has been allowed. The civilsiation in the Uhrone System will be the first target, as it might help stabilise the Kurill border.
The other 3 post have also been ordered to stop Abducting people for agressive Observation and starting the Enlightenment of the Local population. As protectorates and sign of our Benevolence they will be much more usefull then as source of scientific knowledge.

2323.10.06:
With the SPQR Vindictor, the first Ultor class Battleship entered service today. Furthermore the Liberated Aldar Way Colonies have been integrated and put into the "Earth" sector.

2323.11.20:
Production of destroyers of the "Fortressbreaker" class have begun. 100 Units will be build in total. Their goal is simply the defeating of the Enigmatic Fortress.
It may be older then our planet, powered by antimater and has revived more times then even the Curators know but if the Siege of Massada has thought us anything, it is that even the stronges defense can be overcome.

2325.03.10:
A new entity appeared on our sensor: The Spectral Wraith. It appears to be a intangible monster of pure light, but the Curators might know a trick to defeat it.

2325.03.12:
According to the Curators this "Yellow Wraith" will be weaker close to stars that match it's own frequency, like yellow dwarfs. Like the namegiver of the Sol System.

2326.12.29:
Our Government was still a bit "primitive". To bound to only Governing one Planet. No longer. The Roman Stellar Empire has been reformed into the Roman Imperium.**

2327.07.02:
The Ymorz Union joined us as Protectorate among the Stars.

2328.03.22:
The Emperor died at age 100. Empress Irene Claudia Flavius(67) inaugrated ***

2328.03.30:
Crown Prince Antoninus Valerius Flavius (18) has been named.

2329.12.02:
Yet another time the Zum are engaging the Bos'Pachtux in War. This time with a considerable alliance on thier side.

2331.03.23:
Using the Shipyards over both secondary Brax colonies, 100 Fortressbreaker Destroyers have been created. They are now ready to engage the enigmatic Fortress.
Admiral Regglor (Xeno, 38, Gale Speed) has been put in charge of the Classis Sinicia

2331.04.20:
Empress Irene Claudia Flavius has died at age 70. The heir takes over Government leadership.

2331.04.24:
Theodora Severa Flavius (19) has been named Heir.

2331.05.30:
The Fleet of 100 Fortressbreaker Class destroyers has gathered and the Admiral is planning his attack in the Enigmatic Fortress.

2331.08.18:
33 of the 100 Destroyers were lost before the fleet made a emergency jump out of the System. However the last of the smaller defense Platforms have been stripped off.

2332.10.22:
Governor Fosalin(88) died


*Wanted to give it ia shoot. Also needed to rebuild the Fleet for specific Production bonus.

**Advanced Government Form Stellar Empire.

***Seriously, I was wondering if he had bugged out with the aging. Now the Heir is so old, she will die in 15 years.

Short description: I finally got that fortress. Also found the wraith to the north.

Gah'huss; Scientist; Norillga (Energy Species). Explorer of the Fortress
Doctor Xib; Boki (Curator Alpha); Explorer of Yamek's Singularity.



2334.01.13:
The Roman Imperium once again became a patron of the Arts and aquired Research help from the Curators.


2334.02.01:
For the next 5 years, the Artisans will be touring across the Imperium as part of their "Festival of Worlds".

2334.07.07:
A few million of the Djomar Artisans wanted to settle on one of our new Colonias, T'Vilkait. It was granted


2335.06.04:
Living Metal is a odd substance. With incredible propability artificial, it was used in the construction of Ring Worlds (like the broken one in Athuna). While we lack the ability to produce it, we can at least "mine" and use it. As a result our ships aquired considerable selfhealing abilities.

2337.07.26:
Our deal for Garanthium with teh Avabbian has time out. We renewed it for a minor additional monthly contribution of energy for the duration of 30 years.

2337.09.30:
The Dyss Confederated Suns - a major player in teh south/west quadrant - has started trading Pitharan Dust (Food) and Engos Vapor (Ethics Divergence) for excess Engos Vapor and Living Metal.

2338.12.12:
The Fortressbreaker Fleet has reached a count of 150 corvettes this time. The goal is to at least strip off the 3 reamining larger Sattelites. But an ideal case would be if the Vault itself could be disabeled too.

2339.02.09:
The assault planning under Admiral Regglor has begun.

2339.05.21:
Despite loosing 41 of his 150 Ships, Admiral Regglor managed to disable the Fortress. It can now be explored by out scientists, butwe must make haste - the vault is already trying to reactivate.
Our first obstacle was surprisingly low tech: A closed door. We have the option to either try to re-enable it with a local power surge or blast it open using a demolitions team. We decided for the former, who knows what kind of traps might be in there*

2339.08.18:
Gah'russ science teams are in position and they are working to restore the power Systems.

2339.09.18:
The energy being put into the Fortress has to be carefully moderated, as the fortress seems to be able to re-route power freely in order to re-establish main power. The door has opened and the exploration has begun.

2339.10.18:
On our exploration we found a "riddle door". It appears to be 3 poles and 3 rings of differing sizes. Some of the scientists did indicate it "looked like the Towers of Hanoi" game. Our scientists re-aranged it accordingly and the door did indeed 'open' by transforming into a liquid metal that just flew out of the way.
We wonder if any real challenges lie deeper into the fortress.

2339.11.18:
The Exploration team appears to have found the "Geometric Center" of the Station, as far as can be told from the shape. As the Curators indicated, the Fortress is indeed powered by Dark Mater. Indeed there is a outright "Circulatory System" through wich it is distributed. And it already shows signs of restoring itself, wich will no doubt repower the fortresses weapon systems.
We need to examine the Black hole "Yamek's Singularity" - a likely source of Dark Mater - to find any clues on how to stop it. Dr. Xib of the Curator enclave has been ordered to do the work there as he is the most experienced.
At the same time we will explore the local Star to find out under wich conditions the building of the Fortress might have taken place.

2340.04.05:
We have successfully learned how to lay a "bypass" to the core, so that it is powered but the rest of the station stays dormant. That allowed us to discet the station and gives us an unimaginable wealth on new Technology, inlcuding the unique Powersoruces, Shielde Generator, Disruption Field and Computer technology.

2340.04.07:
Emboldened by our success against the Fortress, the Fortressbreaker Class is being retrofitted to be a Wraithbreaker class.

2340.07.27:
We are encouraging Free though across the empire, in order to increase research.

2341.04.01:
2 New Ulthor Class Battleships have been ordered from the Bax Spaceports. These will be unit number 2+3 to enter service and the first bigger ship to be build in quite some time.





*As I read the Localsiation files for that chain, I know blasting will fail and reactivate.

2242.06.20:
The Sleepers have awoken. The Kundan Progenitors are no more. The Kundan Peacekeepers are now.*
Where once they were Enigmatic Observers, they are now Benevolent Interventionists. Thier goal is simply to prevent all further warfare in teh Galaxy.

2342.08.24:
As exected the Kundan contacted us today. They demanded we become signatories of thier "Great Peace Accord" that according would prohibit us from adding territory via wars of conquest. So we had to reject.
They are *extremely* unhappy about this.

2342.09.05:
If the fallen empire is gunning for us, there is no way our battleships can counter them. However going smaler might just be an option. The old Raptrix Class corvettes have been modernised with Shield and Armor breaking Weaponry and are queued to be mass produced as quickly as possible.

2342.09.27:
For the first time since we allowed them to take a few of our people into their "Preserve", the Kundan have closed their borders towards us.

2342.10.25:
The Kunda are going east first, it seems. The small Hathgum Grand Duchy is their first target.

2343.02.28:
We made Sensor contact with a Kundan Fleet attacking the Hathgum main system. It appears one small fleet of theirs has a power easily beyond our entire fleet. Thier Destoryers have abilities equal to our battleships, while thier Battleships count like 5 of ours.

2343.06.01:
The war is already over. The Hathgum surrdender the moment thier planets where under bombardment, with Kundan clones armies on the way.

2343.06.24:
The Aldar proposed a NAP. Considering the danger presented by the Kundan Peacekeepers, we had to accept.

2343.06.27:
In order to pre-empt any Kunda annexation, we declared war on the Kurill. Target: The 3 nearest colonies to our border, wich should include the system containing the automated Dreadnought.

2343.12.26:
Now the Kundan are attacking the Dyss/Qell'Nudar Alliance. The Dyss in particular are a power rivaling even the Roman Imperium. However even such strenght might not be enough to defeat such a foe.

2344.01.01:
Haribas has been conquered. The enemy fleet appeared to challenge our local control, however it appears inferior to our fleet.

2344.04.04:
The Kurill fleet of 8 Battleships, 20 destroyers and 42 Corvettes and 14 Transport Ships was annihilated by the Classis Indiana under Admiral Regglar. About half the corvetes were lost, but none of the 121 destroyers, 6 Cruisers or 5 Battleships.

2344.10.19:
Kehines has been conquered as well.

2345.04.03:
All 3 target planets have been occupied. However the Kurill will still not reliquish control of them.



*Damn, I tried to avoid getting too a high a Fleet power to trigger that. Seems like a AI beat me to it.

Summary: No war in heaven happened. So I just decided to piss off that Materialist Fallen Empire to my north, so I could conquer them. It worked.

2345.10.30:
In the middle of the War, a Blue Spectral Wraith suddenly appeared in the Haribas System. However it appears to be only it's way through.

2346.06.08:
The Blue Wraith returned to Haribas, only to kill our local scientist and jump on.
According to the Curators, it should be weak near a Blue Giant - like the one in Haribas itself.

2349.11.17:
While our fleet was demolishing Shipyards, the enemy recaptured Kehines. The 1st Legion was elliminated during the ground invasion.
While Clonings tanks are being created on Bax Prime, 5 normal assault Armies will be trained.

2351.05.08:
The new first Legion consisting of 5 Cohors and 7 Milites Cisternenses (Clone Armies) has been formed and is leaving Bax towards Kehines.

2351.09.04:
We realised something today: Our fleet strenght appears to have grown to the point where we might be able to challenge the still sleeping giants. With the resources of their planets we should no doubt be able to counter the already awoken empire.

2351.10.28:
Kehines has been recaptured.

2352.09.01:
It appears the Kundan will stay the lone wake giant in this universe. None of the other fallen ones show any sign of awakening. There will be no war in Heaven.

2353.03.23:
After having received almost exclusively losses and with a hopless military situation, the Vorta Government should now be ready to accept they have lost this war and those planets. That did indeed.

2353.04.08:
A surprise turn of events. The Aldar Way request status of Vassal under the Roman Imperium!

2353.05.23:
The Netraxi Conservers. A Fallen Empire to our north. Keepers of knowledge.
They hold no less then 5 Ringworld Segments in 2 Systems:
Eternal bastion in Beacon of Stability.
Palace, Trade, Industrial and Agrarian District in Beacon of Infinity.
If the Roman Imperium has to have any chance against the Kundan Peacekeers, their Planets and Technology are the only way!
And we told them as much.**

2353.09.09:
The Dyss/Qell Alliance has officially declared a loss of the War.

2356.03.14:
Finally, the Netraxi Conservers took the bait and declared war on us. Thier goal? A humilation and the live of our Emperor, Antoninus Valerius Flavius.





*Damn, I tried to avoid getting too a high a Fleet power to trigger that. Seems like a AI beat me to it.

**Declared Rivalry. I hope I get to them declaring on me, as they nominally still have an advantage.

2356.03.14:
The War Demands have been send to the Netraxi. It is nothing less then their entire space. Now we will see how this will turn out. We will let them come to us.

2357.02.05:
It appears the enemy is as Carefull as us regarding doing the first strike. Our Science ships have reached the unihabitated Nextraxi Systems for a Survey, giving us data about both target systems.

2357.06.03:
With the fleet having undergone extensive refitting with new technology and the Nextraxi still not moving, it was decided to make the first step.

2357.08.20:
4 full clone legions have already been created on Bax Prime. A 5th has been ordered. That will make 1 legion for each piece of Ringworl the Nextraxi hold

2357.11.06:
As we entered their Territory and assured Sensor range their Fleet finally reacted. It started chasing the Classis Indiana. The goal is to draw them into the Bax System, where a Limes Type Fortress is already waiting to drag them out of FTL and into a minefield.

2358.03.08:
Using their Superio drives the Nextraxi Pre-Empted our trap in the Nomotar System. The fleet was almost wiped out, however they were able to cause considerable casualties to the enemy as well. And the Ship production is still in full Swing.*

2358.03.17:
Despite the enormous humiliation that entailed, our Emperor surrenderd to the Nextraxi. Even if we could not defeat them today, the salvage they lost in our space will have been way worth it.

2358.03.29:
Justinianus Aurelius Flavius(22) has been named Heir.
A social Wellfare programm has been initiated to offset the Moral Damage done due to the Humiliation of the War and loss of our Emperor.

2359.05.06:
The Ulthor class is being retrofitted with new Arc-Emitters. Theses unique weapons can not be defended against even by the Fallen Empires, but their effect on the target is also entirely unpredictable.

2362.04.02:
using Salvage from the Nextraxi, new 3rd generation Fighters and Bombers have been introduced. Our Ultor and Minos class Capital ships will be equipped with them.

2362.09.27:
The Rontor Galactic Coalition is a Fanatically Democratic Nation from the south/west quadrant. They jut declared war on teh Dyss/Quell Federation. While they do have official support from the Jhoolian Star League from the North (Evangelist Zealots), it seems unlikey that those can reach them.

2363.01.06:
Almost half the preperations for a 2nd war against the Netraxi are done. We should also soon have enough ships to challenge (and hopefully capture) the Automated Dreadnought, as a Flagship for our fleet.




*I had forgotten to properly upgrade my Destroyers and Cruiser weapons as well. They ran head-first into the enemy heavy armor with their Kinetics. Might have done a lot more damage otherwise.

2363.04.10:
Another war has been declared against the Kurill. The goals:
Destory the border outposts place east of the Netraxi. Get the colonies placed on the west side.

2365.03.18:
The Invasion ran quite well, until the Pandill System. Here the planeteary defenders prooved surprisingly stubborn and wipe out 7/12 of the Legion send to capture them. That legion will be reinforced on Bax Prime while another one is moved in for the kill.

2366.01.15:
With the Rontor Assault still ongoing, the Kundan again decalred war onto the Dyss/Nudar Federation as well. This will undoubtedlky benefit the Rontor.

2366.02.01:
A second attack on Lancord has been pushed back. However time is on teh side of the besiegers, not the besieged.

2366.02.29:
In order to properly break the land defenses, General Mahesh Potti was assigned to the Legion responsible. He will prepare a assault plan while the troops recuperate from their 1st attempt.

2366.12.09:
The 3rd Invasion of Lancord was finally a success. The planet has been taken. Now the fleet can deal with the enemy fleets that are still around and hopefully also destroy these Borders posts.

2368.01.06:
The 2nd Border post has been destroyed. We decided to just end this war with a horrendous Humiliation for the Kurill Government. We have to prepare to fry a bigger fish.

2368.06.18:
As expected the Nextraxi declared war again. This time however the war will not go in their favor!
Our Fleet measures:
10 Ultor Class Battleships
20 Minos Class Cruisers
40 Resistenz Class Destroyers
150 Raptox Class Corvettes

2368.09.22:
Out of nowhere a Conserver Fleet appeared in the Far-off Shariat System. Local defense forces are being mustered.

2368.12.17:
After having destroyed the Spaceport the Conserver Fleet just left. The rebuilding of the port has begun.

2369.01.19:
It will be 399 days before our Fleet finishes retrofitting in T'Vilkait System. After that they should be able to engage the enemy.

2369.01.27:
Sensor data of their Home System confirmed:
This fleet in our Space is the remainders of their Fleet. They pulled 16 Beta Class Battlecruisers and 13 Gamma Class escorts together.

2369.03.25:
The Conservers are laying siege to the Nomotar System. And this time they did bring ground forces.

2369.06.05:
After having bombed the ground Defenses, the enemy fleet just left once again. This time their goal is the captured Kurill Colony in Kehines.
263 days to refit of the Fleet.

2369.10.07:
The Planet Kehines is actually under attack.

2369.11.02:
Kehines was not so much a Battle but a Slaugther. There was no way our defenders could hold out against the powerfull gene-warrior armies. However as the enemy left the planet ungarisioned, the 1st legion is highly likely able to recpature it.

2369.12.22:
The enemy has returned to Nomotar.

2370.02.29:
The Fleet has been fully upgraded. It will now move to engage the Conserver fleet. The Corvette count is approaching the 200.

2370.03.16:
Kehines has been recaptured.

2370.05.07:
Despite Defesne Preparations, Nomotar Prime was lost to Invasion. However the fleet is almost there to kill the enemy.

2370.07.19:
Victory. During a great battle in Nomotar, the Conserver Fleet was forced to retreat!
While the battle cost is 10 of our Battleships and 14/20 of our Cruisers, we took only minor casualties in the Corvette and Destroyer segment.

2370.10.24:
The Enemy Fleet appeared over Eternal Bastion. Between the fight and FTL damage, only 5 battleships and 3 Escorts are left. The moment the fleet is repaired, we will come for them as well!

2370.11.06:
Nomotar Prime has been recaptured.

2371.02.15:
The Fleet has been fully repaired and is on it's way to Conserver Space now. Eternal Bastion will be thier target.

2371.05.19:
The Fleet has already reached Beacon of Stability. Only two Fortress and the Spaceport stand in the way of teh "Planetary" Invasion.

2371.09.01:
While the Fortifications have been destroyed, the remainders and all newly build heavy ships were lost to Lance Fire. Nothing bigger then a Destroyer will be used agaisnt this enemy from now on.

2371.11.20:
The remainder of the Conserver fleet made a futile attempt at Counterattacking in Stability. The remaining ships were annihilated on teh low cost of 11/30 Destroyers and 5 Corvettes. With that only defensive platforms are in our way through Preserver space.

2372.01.18:
And just like that, the "eternal bastion" has fallen to our ground forces. Now remains a medium part - the attack on Beacon of Infinity and it's remainign orbital defenses.

2372.02.21:
The Curator Dr. Xib died at age 117.
Professor Zarg (41) has been hired to replace him

2372.04.01:
The Dyss lost the war - and territory - to the Kundan Peacekeepers.

2372.06.22:
The Integration of the Aldar Way Colonies has begun. It is expected to take 70 months.

2372.08.03:
The Enigmatic Decoder is one of the Technologies we had aquired from them Enigmatic Fortress. It is a Computer-Extension module. Giving it our flightpath data to work over will somehow increase the chance to avoid enemy attacks considerably.
Our Corvettes will be retrofitted with them.

2372.10.16:
After a short refit our ships return the Conserver Space, to capture the remaining System.

2373.01.18:
Hypershields and Neutronium armor have been aquired from Conserver Wrecks. The Weapon technology is not yet fully unlocked, however.

2373.09.25:
The final Defense Platform in the Infinity System has been destroyed. All destroyers have been lost - they should have been left behind after all. The Corvette fleet has been reduced to 156 Units due to the prolonged Warfare.

2374.02.21:
Palatial District in Infinity has been taken over!

2374.05.21:
The Trade District has been taken as well, but the other segments are still refusing to surrender. However military analysts belive a caving in is likely to even happen on the next time a fleet enters "orbit" one of the remaining 2 Segments.

2374.06.22:
The Nextraxi Conservers have been defeated! The remainder of thier Government finally admitted defeat by roman hand.

2374.06.24:
The Palatial District has been named Capital of the "Galactic Roman Empire". Work on local shipyards has begun in earnest.

2374.07.02:
The Ringwolrd segements are in a abysmal State. While there are a lot of ancient, hyper effective Food, Mineral and Energy production facilities, on the rest is covered in abandoned ruins. They will have to make place for new Developments.

2375.10.06:
The Limes Class Fortress "Theodora Severa I" has been build in Beacon of Infinity.
