Of all the Stellaris Faction this was the one I always wanted to play, but could not because I lacked the Ethics covergence nessesary for it. With the new Ethics Attraction system (especially after I worked through how it and the Factions work) that is no longer the case. I can finally play Space Nazi/Rome.

 

Background:

The UN-Sponsored Ulysses Initiative oversaw the construction of six great ark ships in low orbit of earth at the end of the 21th century. The ships were fitted with powerfull but unstable wormhole generators and sent towards distant stars, carrying a quarter million colonsis each.

None were heard from again and Research into Subspace Wormholes was soon abandoned.

 

Yet unbeknownst to Earth, on of the ark ships made it to a lush alien moon and established a flourishing colony. The pioneers who tamed this world were determined to realises humanities manifest destiny - dominion over the galaxy at all cost."

 

The Faction was used in thos Utopia launch teaser:

 

Ethics:

Fanatic Militarist

"The ability to project force is of paramount importance. The only way to preserve our way of life is to make sure everyone shares it; willingly or not..."

Effects: Allows Full Orbital Bombadment, Reduced War demand cost, +20% ship fire rate and army damage.

 

Xenophobe

"The stakes could not be higher as we reach into the vast uncharted expanses of the galaxy, for we are gambling with the very survival of our species! Never trust the alien; its false smile hides an unknowable mind..."

Effects: Can purge, displace and enslave aliens. Can't grant full Citizenship or Full Miltary Service to Aliens (no Leaders from Xenos), Cannot use Refugees Welcome Policy (basically only humans will be allowed to enter), Reduced Opinion of other Empires, +15% Rivalry Influene Gain, +15% Border Range

 

Government:

Constitutional Dictatorship

"This government is a dictatorship where a single individual has been granted perpetual emergency powers to preserve the state from any threats, real or imagined."

Effect: Ruler term for Live. Ruler elected on Ruler death. Rulers have agendas

 

Nationalistic Zeal

"A strong sense of nationalistic pride permeates all layers of this society."

Effect: +1 Rivalry, +10% Border Range

 

Distinguished Admiralty

"The Fleet and the Admiralty have unusually prominent roles in this society, wielding a great deal of influence in political circles. They have the pick of the litter when it comes to new military recruits."

Effect: +8% Fire Rate.

 

Total Government Bonus:

+28% Ship Firerate

+1 Rivalry

+25% border Range

+20% Army Damage

 

Gameplan: For the first time, I will go for the Agressive Traditions. Militarist Faction wants the Supremacy tradition, and I will not disapoint them. I will have to decide how I will deal with aliens: Conquest or Vassalisation?

And of course, reuniting with the people back on Earth is also Important.

 

 

Galaxy Setup:
Huge (1000 Stars)

Elliptical

15 AI Empires, no Advanced Starts, 4 Fallen Empires

Normal Habitable Worlds, AI agressivenes, difficulty

Warp only game

Random start placement

Crisis: Yes

Ironman Mode: Yes

2200.01.01:
We are situated in the North/West Quadrant of the Galaxy
A Continental worlds are to the East (Sasin; 21) and South (Korgas; 13).
We are laying claim to a total of 3 Systems.

2200.05.23:
There has already been first Contact!
However these "Alpha Bogeys" appear to be non-agressive Cosmozeans. They shall not stand in our way.

2200.10.12:
The exobiology Corp proposed a habitable world Survey. We will most likely do that as a side effect of looking for suiteable colonies anyway, so it is a acceptable goal.

2200.12.20:
Asteroid LR-2129 in Deneb turned out to be a former planet. Considerable Mineral wealth can be mined from there, wich will greatly aid our Shipyards.

2201.01.28:
Deneb has been fully surveyed. The gas giant Olympia and Hyperion have resources relevant for science. And LR-2129 will be mined. Otherwise no anomalies have been detected.

2201.05.08:
Sasin III has acceptable climate conditions for Settlers.

2202.06.06:
Traditions are of utmost importance. It is clear was our Society needs the most: A clear history of Supremacy!
Our border Range has significantly increased (+20%)

2203.05.21:
All 3 systems within Sensor and border range have been surveyed and the exploitaiton of their resources has been ordered. Now the attention of our survey corp will go outside of of both.

2204.06.08:
Our borders now include at least 4 Systems with Lifebearing planets:
Sasin (continental, 21)
Korgas (continental, 13)
Sabtrok (Ocean, 15)
Polymar (Desert, 20) - uninhabitable

Further survey will have to go deeper into the Dark Ocean.

2205.01.05:
The final Spacebased resource is being exploited and Unity is building additional mines for the grown number of colonists. Saving resources for a Colonyship or the Fleet would be the next logical action

2205.07.02:
Our in lack of a real shipbuilding project, our Shipwrights went and started looking into various theoretical designs. As a result they will now better (Traditon, Fsater building and more Naval Cap).

2206.08.25:
Our fleet has more then Doubeled to 7 Ships. It is better to be prepared.

2207.10.02:
We found signs of a precursor Civilisation called the "Irassian Concordat". They have been the overlords of dozens of species millions of years ago, but died out in a Plague called the "Jarovian Pox". We will investigate further. If their subjects have caused this outbreak, we will be preapred for something similar for our future Vassals!

2208.10.01:
The building of a Foundation class Colonyship has been ordered. It's target is Korgas to the south.

2209.11.10:
In our hearth of Hearths, there is no doubt about it that we Humans have the right of conquest. Our Traditions now reflect that.

2210.06.05:
The Space Pirate group "Lost Fleet" has formed, with the goal of raiding our Mining and Research Stations. This scum will make perfect target practive for our Fleet!

2210.06.24:
Scientist Eric Holden founded the Party "Operation Battle Cry". Their goals are for the Conquest of the Universe, as such they will be highly beneficial to our purpsoes.

2211.02.22:
The pirates show surprising ingenuity: Their ships are equipped with both Primitive shields and afterburners. The Admiralty is fully aware of the location of their base, but we will drag out this conflict in order to train our Fleet and make sure we will get these technologies.

2211.04.11:
Unity Spaceport has been equipped with a new Corvete Assembly Yard, allowing us to produce these ships even faster and cheaper.

2212.01.02:
Our colony in Korgas has been established.

2212.05.20:
A second pirate Fleet has been neutralised. This one showed surprisingly a lot more bite. These people could have had a great future in our Military, had they not choosen to ignore our righteous Government!

2212.05.24:
Executor Sidney Beauclair formed the "Human Supremacist Front".

2212.11.21:
The questions where Earth is and if there is other intelligent life remaing pressing concerns for our Future. The survey corp has been tasked with visiting every star until they have found an answer.

2212.02.06:
We have found a Dragon in the Nashira System. A literal Space Dragon.
The Entity is huge and has destructive capability to match. We can just be lucky it seems to busy to protect it's "hoard" - a small, mineral rich Molten Planet - to even notice us.

2214.04.02:
A new Colonyship has been ordered. It's target is the Sasin System.

2214.05.21:
We have found alien life to our North/east!
They are clearly smart enough to be Spacefaring, clearly not our Sisters on Earth and they also have a first colony. But for any further Information, we will have to translate their Language and visit their space systems.
The colonyship has been canceled to pool all our resources into the Fleet. We must be ready to act, however the Facts force us too.

2215.01.24:
It appears a 2nd alien species is just north of the first.

2215.02.05:
17 Corvettes have gathered. Their Target is the pirate station. We can no longer afford this annoyance.

2215.04.02:
Both alien Empires contacted us today.
The "United Uri Bloc" and the "Caloctora Sacred Empire".

The Uri are Arid-Dwelling Snails with a Penchant for Energy production.
Their Government is:
Fanatic Authoriatarian, Militarist
War Council (Oligarchy, Aristrocratic Elite, Warrior Culture)
Hegemonic Imperialist.

The Caloctora are Desert Dwelling Plantoids with a admittedly high intelligence.
Thier Government is:
Fanatic Spiritualsit, Xenophile
Theocratic Republic (Synchretic Evolution, Efficient Bureaocracy)
Spiritual Seekers AI type.

The Caloctora are a minor danger, but the Uri must be defeated ASAP, before they conquer the weak ones or even dare to look into our direction.

Wars:
1st Uri War. Result: Enemy Fleet annihilated. Tributary, Humiliate, Open borders.


2215.05.23:
Our declaration of Rivalry lead to the Uri and Caloctora forming a Non-Agression Pact. Should they ally thesemf it would be a extremely dangerous situation!

2215.06.02:
The Pirate station has been destroyed. Massive amounts of resoures have been confiscated.

2216.02.03:
Besides the Alien Empires we also found several small habitat stations. One of them identified themself as the "XuraCorp". Apparently they are interstellar traders, offering their goods to the highest bidder. Their people - the "Xuri" - look like Space Elves.
Trading excess energy with them, we started working on millions of Robot units to take over the mining duties in our empire.

2216.02.24:
The Fleet has gathered just outside Uri space.
A war of Sujugation has been declared on the Uri. Failing to defend themself will make them our Tributary. As opening shoots we will prevent that colony from being established.

2216.04.21:
On Unity Assault Forces are gathering. They will have the task of taking enemy ground in close combat, on thier planets.

2216.05.22:
The enemy colony has been destroyed and the Fleet entered their home systems. While their Fleet is comparatively laughable, thier spaceport is not to be underestimated. We will attack their poorly guarded colony instead.

2216.07.16:
Two assault armies have been created. They are on their way to the Frontlines now.

2217.04.16:
The enemy Garission in Haimit was easily defeated, but their Government still persists that they can win this war. Aimed strikes at their Space infrastructure should free them of that notion. If we can draw out and shatter the enemy fleet, all the better!

2217.07.02:
Henceforth War games will be a integral Part of the military Service. Both Simulation, mock and full battles are possibilities. This will greatly increase the Aptitude of our current and Future admirals.

2217.10.18:
The enemy Fleet has been tricked into leaving the safety of their port, in a attempt to recapture Hiamit.

2218.01.12:
The Spacebattle was hard fought, but won by us:
They lost all 16 of their Corvettes and their ground forces.
While we only lost 7 from our 20.

2218.01.24:
They relented in all Wargoals. This is a great Humilation for them, and a great Victory for us!
Now we can focus on build up our colonies a bit further.

2218.04.02:
A new Rival appeared to our South. The "Commonwealth of Kenjor".
The Kenjodan are mammallian Desert Dwellers with some a Strong mining side.
Thier Government is:
Xenophobe, Egalitarian, Pacifist
Moral Democracy (Democracy, Cuthroath Politics, Efficient Bureaucracy)
Xenophobic Isolationist.

Henceforth they will be our eternal Rival - always "to strong to defeat" despite all our might, interested only in "taking our rightfull Land" from us. Never willing to ally with others, to defeat us.*

Notes:

*Militarist need a Rival Neighbor (or 3). That is both important for the Faction and the Ethics atraction. But Rivalry tends to draw people into defensive agreements against you. Not with these guys!

As long as I do not overdo it with pissing them off and our Rivalry does not shift them towards Miltiarism, they will be perfect.

Wars:
1st Uri War. Result: Enemy Fleet annihilated. Tributary, Humiliate, Open borders.
1st Caloctoran War; 2229.09.11 - 2231.09.03; Result: Fleet annihilated, Vassalisation, Humiliate, open borders.


2223.05.01:
Qolite Prime has been colonised. It will give us Unambigious claim onto the "Ether Dragon" (as the Curators call it) and whatever treasure it is protecting.
Meanwhile the proliferation of Mining Robots seems to have caused a unexpected Shift towards Materialism in our Soceity. As much as 25% might eventually follow that ideology. That is unacceptable. We can not allow our people to go "soft". If it means that people must work in the mine, so be it!
The disassembly of all Robots has been ordered. The purge is Expected to take about 5 years in total and even jsut the order has squashed any further interest in Technology as a guiding principle of our Government.


2224.12.02:
Another Alien Empire contacted us today. "Yaphati Republican States".
Oceanic Mamalians: Fleet, Wastefull, Communal, Industrious, Natural Sociologists
Fanatic Materialsit, Xenophile
Executive Commitee (Oligarchic, Synchretic Evolution, Environmentalist)
Erudite Explorers

Them joining forces with the Caloctora is considered a extreme Danger of a Counter Force. The timetable for the Caloctora subjugation has to be accelerated drastically

Building of Space infrastructure has been stopped to funnel all resoruces into a Fleet Buildup.


2225.05.01:
Recent Earthquakes on Qoclite Prime have been traved to a subteranean civilisation. And apparently they are tunneling towards the surface. We can currently not afford a pre-emtpive Strike due to our War preparations. So communications have been ordered, while our Grounforces are being re-deployed.

2225.12.04:
A Burrowing Probe has reached the alien Tunneling team. They are just workers and we established contact with their Leaders. Apparently they life entirely underground and had foolishly surmised their planet was the only one in the unvierse. Their technology seems to be at tops middle-ages level.
We dmanded thier Subjugation at threat of them being destroyed otherwise. They did not agree and seem to foolishly believe they are destined to rule the Universe. That will not do - it is already the destiny of us humans, after all!

2226.02.15:
The Subterranean "Invasion" has already begun. They are equipped with Projectile Weaponry after all. The pre-emtively placed armies should be more then capable of defeating them.

2226.03.03:
"As we continue to expand, other empires will inevitably challenge our claims, as we would theirs. We are locked in a great game of resources and territory. It is nothing less than our duty to come out on top." - Tradition Perk "The Great Game" aquired. Supremacy Completed.
"Master of Nature" Ascension Perk aquired (get tileblocker Removal techs and costs set to 0).


2226.04.05:
We have driven the Subterraneans back into their tunnels. This is only a temporary Solution however - we must find a way to effectively strike at thier Udnerground cities. The Engineering Crops has alrady begun work towards destroying the Subterranean Civilisation.


2227.03.02:
The Subterraneans have been defeated. We collapsed the bulk of their tunnels and flooded all thier major cities with Nervegas. The casuality projection is cloose to 100% and even the local Garission will be able to deal with any Stragglers.
Meanwhile 7 Assault armies have bee raised on the planet to counter any further attacks. These will serve us quite well in our Future space campaigns.

2227.12.02:
The "Protective Heejam Council" contacted us.
Mollusciud Squidpeople with Continental Preference. Natural Engineers, Resilient.
Fanatic Xenophile, Pacifist
Irenic Bureaucracy (Oligarchic, Mining Guilds, Shadow Council).

They seem to be late commers to the Galactic Stage. They would make excellet mining slaves due to their shared Habitability with us Humans.

2228.03.17:
We managed a Cursory Scane of the Caloctora Fleet. It is apparently using entirely corvettes, making it inferior to our largely Destroyers based Fleet. The Fleet is being re-deployed with small and medium Calliber Kinetic Weaponry.

2228.06.09:
Our Survey Corp found a Direlict Irassian Cruiser. There are no signs of Weapons damage or a Evacuation Attempt. Deeper examination has been ordered.

2228.06.17:
The Governor of Unity has died. No suiteable repalcements have been found yet.

2228.06.28:
The Caloctora sugested a Non-Agression Pact. We had to deny it as our War Preparations are still running. On positive news, it appears they and the Yapathi are a bitter conflict.

2228.12.09:
The Irassian Cruiser was apparently destroyed by the Jarovian Pox. The Captain managed to maintain strict Quarantine despite several crewman have to be shoot when trying to reach the escape Pods.
While this attempt the stop the spread were unsucessfull at large, it does show us the importance of a strict military commandline.

2228.12.22:
Prospectors finally found the rumored gold mines of the former Subterranean Empire. We now have access to large quantities of the still precious metal.

2229.04.01:
The Fleet has grown to encompass 11 Destryoers and 13 Corvettes. The corvettes are sheduled for "combat Attrition" and will likely be replaced with destroyers if destryoed.
The Fleet and Army go into a readiness position to start the assault.


2229.09.11:
A War of Subjugation has been Declared on the Caloctora Commonwealth.

2229.10.29:
We found a Primitive Civilisation in Vinjim, close to Qoclite Prime. They are still in the stone age. Agressive species procurement has been ordered. They will be invaluable to Social and Biological Experimentation.

2230.04.09:
The first enemy Planet has been secured in ground Combat. A feigned retreat for repairs are resupply should be enough to draw the enemy fleet out form under their port.

2230.09.06:
We were not supposed to be the only Humans in this Sector. One of the 5 Chrysanthemum sister ships - the Hyacinth - was supposed to end up in our rough quadrant and we should have already made contact with them. A in dept search of the Ship has been ordered.

2230.09.18:
What is more dreadfull, a Dragon or a Giant? As we found both, we might now be able to find out. The "Vrinn Archivists" are a Fallen Empire: Incredibly advanced, but in utter Decline. Thier "planets" are apparently one Marginally and one fully Operation Ringworld Segments. The "Platial Disctrict" might make a very good place for the Capitol of a Galaxy Spanning Empire. Once we have the power to defeat these beings.

2230.11.02:
The Caloctora Fleet and Army has been annihilated. With 4 Corvettes only minor Casualities were received. We can now capture the other planets unhinderd.

2231.08.19:
With the 2nd Planet Captured, we could force a surrender. Our Victorious Fleet returns to Unity.

2231.09.03:
"If we do not impose our will on others, they will inevitably impose theirs on us." - Dominination Tradition Adopted.

2233.03.01:
The Long delayed Colonisation of Sasin has begun. It will take far less then the original year to Complete the Colonyship in our new, upgraded Military Ports.

2233.03.23:
In the 2nd System we found the Ion Trail of the Hyacinth. It least us to Puzuno, a System that this far has eluded our Sensors.

2238.08.12:
The Hyacinth has been found, but it was a mass grave. Without power to run the Cold Sleep chambers, a habitable planet or foodsupplies they died slowly in thier Ship. It will be moved into Unity Orbit as a Memorial of the dangers the original Colonists of Untiy braved.

The north/west or Delta Quadrant is a bit crowded:

post-15884-0-73956100-1493110996_thumb.jpg

1 Fallen Empire, 5 minor Species, 2 Eternal Rivals

 

Our two eternal Rivals keep growing. Unfortunately they are a bit too far away to count as "Neighbors" for the various positive effects. Might have to put a border post closer to them:

post-15884-0-99571000-1493111081_thumb.jpg

 

There is a very intersting expansion Opportunity, right next to the Materialist FE. It should make a excellent new Capitol. Until we get those Ringworld Segments

post-15884-0-81189300-1493111164_thumb.jpg

 

The minor empires are minor. Only 2 remain free and I want the one kind in particluar for alien Slaves.

2233.09.27:
The Colonyship CNS Isis has left Deneb port. It's original target of Sasin has been changed to Hojjam.

2234.01.23:
We still find new Cosmozeans. Crystallien Entities have been spotted in Shuckon, south of Uri space.

2234.04.16
The Heejam and Yapathi turend thier Overlord/Protectorate relationship into a mutual Defense pact.

2234.10.23:
The colonsaition of "New Earth" in teh Hojjam System has begun.

2234.11.03:
A batch of observation Implants used on the primitives on Hish has malfunctioned. Our scientist will have to clean up that mess.

2235.06.03:
We finally finished our work regarding basic deflector Technology. The Salvage of the aliens and Pirates has been most advantagous in that regard.

2235.11.05:
Advanced Hydroponics Farms have been introduced. With these new buildings, we should be able to feed our population for decades to come.

2236.02.12:
The faulty implants on Hish have been removed and replaced.

2236.10.02:
A new Future Adversary contacted us. The Sibulan Dynastic Union:
Sibulan (Repiloid, Continental, Quick Learners, Communal)
Fanatic Militarist, Spiritualist
Elightnened Monarchy (Imperial, Police State, Philosopher Kings)
Honorbound Warrior AI type.

These are aliens we can actually respect. They are not as naive as the others we have encountered thus far. They know the importance of a strong military.

2236.11.01:
New Earth has been established and named the New Capitol of the Commonwealth. It is ideally placed for several future expansions.
The Deneb und Korgas Systems have been assigned to the Unity Sector - name after our original Capitol. The colonsiation of Sasins has been ordered yet again, to later add it to the Unity sector.
Qoclite is currently cut off from the rest of Commeonwealth Space, due to alterations in our Border Projection ability and can thus not be included into the Sector yet.

2236.12.02:
The Yapathi asked for a non-agression Pact. It was rejected for Obvious Reasons at the present time.

2237.07.01:
The Raxycodium have expanded into the Irriamum System. They are purging a local, pre-sentient species of the planet.

2237.11.01:
With a speed an Efficiecny only capable to human Ingenuity, New Earth Spaceport has been build in record time.

2238.03.03:
The colonisation of Sasin has been postponed and a new Ship building project has begun. Our fleet is currently only at 50% capacity.

2238.07.03:
After only 2 units, the ship building was halted again as we prepare for the building of additional space mining stations around New Earth.

2238.09.05:
Admiral Narges al-Ajlani has died at age 78 today.

2239.05.02:
Tradition Perk: Colonial Viceroys
"Our control over the colonies is dependent upon us finding capable and loyal individuals that can be trusted to enforce the will of the government."
Effect: +2 Governor Skill Level and +2 Leader Capacity.

2239.05.19:
The Subterraneans on Qoclite were not completely annihilated after all. A small group was found in an Isolated Cave. Considering the usefullness they can have for the Empire, they will be allowed to live and reproduce.
Species:
Zydran; Repugnant, Adaptive, Quick Leaners, Continental
Use: Xeno Slaves give bonus Xenophobe Attraction on Planet. So do Repugnant Pops. And they have the same habitability, so they can go whereever the humans can go. Due to thier Repugnancy, I had to set them to "Domestic Servitude", wich overcounters the penalty. They will be distributed across teh commonwealth, once their numbers have grown sufficciently - exactly one per planet is enough, but they can still work Farms decently.

2240.03.01:
The Fleet buildup has been re-initiated. The Mericless Class is being redesigned with Powerfull point defense weaponry. Thier goal will be to complete the Subjugation of the Uri people.

2241.06.02:
Thanks to migration the Population of New Earth has grown dramatically already. Work on teh Planetary Administration has begun.

2241.11.24:
Some while ago another Xeno Empire contacted us: The Uva-Xanavi Polity from teh South/West or Alpha Quadrant. Now they wish to declare war on the Kenjor. However that is not in the best interest of the Commonwealth, so it was rejected at this time.

2242.01.02:
The Fleet has gathered over New Earth. We are now poised to strike at the Uri and war of Conquest has been delcared. Goal: Total takeover of all Uri Planets.
As our Vassals, the Caloctoran will be expected to fully Participate in the warfare. We will see if their Admirals will fullfill their duties.
They have been granted full Residency rights and decent Living Standarts pre-emptively. While normally we would just enslave them, their use as Power Plant workers is far too important to waste them like that.

2242.02.02:
Another Empire from the North/East or Gamma Quadrant: The Mandasura Heirarchy.

2242.04.20:
Beleiving thier Fleet to be able to defeat our Fleet, the Uri are following our Fleet. Their hope might be to catch us before the Caloctoran join forces with us. However, that will not happen. We have superior Fleet.

2242.07.27:
As predicted, the battle ended with our victory. Our ship design, pilots and the Admirals tactic prooved superior and the enemy Fleet was annihilated. Aside from all our outmodded Corvettes, teh only casualty was one single Destroyer out of 18. Now the Conquest of thier worlds can begin without any interference from their Fleet.

2243.07.08:
The first two planets have been secured. The fleet has been ordered to return to friendyl space for a refit with weapons better suited to engagign space ports.

2243.08.07:
A new Faction has formed. The "National Solvency Coalition" under Governor Uwe Neumann. They are overfocussed on simple wealth. They are not happy with our current war, nor Credit reserves nor with our control over Strategic resources.

2244.08.10:
A hastily cosntructed Uri resurgence Fleet has been annihilated as well. Our next target will be the spaceport on ther Capitol planet. The Caloctoran have been ordered to join our fleet in this endeavor.

2245.02.26:
Worrying results on the south front: It may be that the Raxycodium/Kenjor relations are improoving.

2245.07.10:
The Orbital and Suborbital defenses of teh Uri homeworld have been stripped. Our Caloctoran Vassals performed their duties acceptably.
The ground Invasion has begun.

2245.08.26:
The Uri homeworld ground resistance was a lot higher then Anticipated. After inflicting massive damage, the Invasion forces had to withdraw into orbit for rest and recuperation.

2245.01.16:
The 2nd Invasion of Ur Idra has begun. This time our forces will not be driven back so easily.

2246.02.28:
The 2nd invasion of Ur Idra was successfull. Unfortunately it appears that General Xia Huang has peaked in her Skills. She has been put into reserve and replaced as leader of the troops.

2246.06.30:
Caloctoran Forces independantly conquered the 4th and final Uri Colony.

2246.07.01:
Having their final Planet occupied, the Uri surrendered completely.

2246.07.02:
The Unity Sector has been expanded to include Qoclite.
The new Ur Idra Sector has been formed as well, encompassing all former Uri Planets. Gerardo Ortega has been named the Governor of this new Sector and the otehr Governors have been re-assigned accordingly.
There are also troubling news that a Faction has already formed in the former Uri worlds:
The "Individual Choice Watch" under Scientist Ljuba Kuzin is full of Egalitarian Ideals. As such they will have to be supressed.

2246.07.23:
We made contact with the "Yalon Regime" from the Gamma Quadrant.

Use: Power Plant Workers

 

Zyadran; 2; Reptoloid, Subteraneans; Xeno; Full Slavery/Domestic Servitude; Repugnant, Adaptive, Quick Leaner, Continental Preference.

Use: Distributed Xeno Slaves to maintain Xenophobic attraction among humans.

 

Ethics distribution (how many will eventually embrace/currently embracing):

Authoritarian: 0%/12%

Egalitarian: 12%/13%

Xenophobe: 37%/27%

Xenophile: 0%/0%

Militarist: 33%/31%

Egalitarian Focussed in Xenos, both free (lack of Citizen Rights) and Enslaved (Slavery issues). One hope is to have a stronger focus in the Enslaved pops, to avoid support for the Faction.

Pacifist growing strong, but Faction should be rather easy to placate by saving energy and aquiring Strategic Resources via Conquest/finding them via reserach. Warfare unlikely to be relevantly affected.

Xenophile, Spiritualist and Materialist pleasently absent.

The borders after moving the Capitol to New Earth seriously suffered for a while:

post-15884-0-23175200-1493667883_thumb.jpg

 

However now after teh conquest, they are bigger then ever:
post-15884-0-20382900-1493668085_thumb.jpg

(The red part in lower/left corner is not a excalve, but a Rivaling Empire).

 

The east is full of concerning Empires:

post-15884-0-42884300-1493668123_thumb.jpg

The Calcotora Sacred Commonwealth are our Vassals. Integration si in their Future, if they want or not.

 

The Yapathi Republican States must soon be made our Vassal

The Protective Heejam Council can be turned into our Protectorate.

 

The Larger Empries of Concern are:

 

Sibulan Dynastic Union; Fanatic Militarist/Spiritualist; Imperial Authority; Police State, Philosopher Kings; Honorbound Warrior AI.

Active Rival

Assesment: Possible buffer empire. Continental Preference of Pops problematic for future human expansion

 

Mandasura Heirarchy; Fanatic Militarist/Xenophobe; Dictatorial Authority; Environmentalist, Philosopher King; Hegemonic Impieralist

Assesment: Continental Preference makes future conflict unavoidable.

 

Yalon Regime; Authoritarian, Militarist, Materialist; Dictatorial Authority; Environmentalist, Cutthroat Politics; Ruthless Capitalist AI type

Assesment: Future Conflict and Vassalisation seems likely.

 

In the south, some far off additions to our "Eternal Rivals":

post-15884-0-57552700-1493669088_thumb.jpg

 

Uva-Xavani Polity; Authoritarian, Fanatic Spiritualist, Dictatorial, Functional Architecture; Synchretic Evolution; Evangelsit Zealot AI

Assesment: Irrelevant for time being. Future progress msut be observed.

 

Obadin Coalition; Egalitarian/Fanatic Xenophobe; Oligarchy, Shadow Council, Idealistic Foundation; Hegemonic Imperialsit AI

Assesment: High propability to be a counter-conqueror. Might form Federations or be a dange in itself due to conquest. High likelyhood to purge humanity on conquest.

2246.08.07:
The question of how to deal with Xenos Species that share our preference of Continental worlds has been raised. In particular the purging of the population is being discussed. Deathcamps or Food processing seem excessive as it will only draw the ire of other aliens onto us.
Instead Neutering should be able to do this just as well, even if over longer timespans. The proponents say "Think of it as phasing-out of a people. Our nation goes to meet the future, only some will not be with us."
Using them as Xeno-Slaves until the Yapahti Population has grown sufficiently to be placed on every Commonwealth planet is also an option.
Such a policy would open almsot all of the eastern reaches for Colonsiation.

2246.09.05:
The reaction of the Uri Population to our Conquest is mixed. The ones that used to be slaves under their own Government accept us with open arms. While the Formerly Free people are highly antagonistic to our rule. Unrest levels on Ur Idra in particular are high and substantial Garission Armies will be needed to combat it - especially if our ground armies are moved to other palces.

2246.09.07:
We forced the Caloctoran to sign a Reserach Treaty with us.

2247.01.02:
A new Political Faction has Formed. The "One Throne Group" pushes hard for extreme Authoritarian Approach to governance.* The bulk of the supporters comes from the Uri Population.
Aside from them Pushing for a full Heriditary Rulerships System, they are highly compatible with our rule.

2247.04.07:
The colonisation of Sasin 3 had a troubeled history. Thus far any atempts to colonise the planet had thier Ship either canceled by a Sector Governor, or redirected by Executor Beauclair. As a result the plaent remains thus far uncolonised.

2249.01.01:
A Reform of the Ruler Role has been orderd by Executor Beauclair. She is henceforth High Queen Sidney Beauclair!
Reform:
Dictatorial to Imperial Authority.
Civics: Nationalist Zeal (+Border Range and Rivalry) & Distinguished Admiralty (more Fire Rate changed to Nationalist Zeal and Philosopher King (+2 Ruler Skill Levels

2249.01.02:
Crown Princess Henrietta Beauclair has been named.

2249.06.07:
A new Faction has been Founded: The "Defense First Association". They are Isolationsits that do not wish further Warfare of any kind.

2249.08.08:
The Sibulan and Raxycodium just signed a Defense Pact. The Commonwealth of Man would need considerable additional resources to win a war against both of them!

2249.10.03:
The crews of our Abduction Shuttels over Hish have been using the thrusters of thier ships to burn "Crop Circles" into the primitives Fields. That in turn form a new Religion taht is gaining considerable traction on Hish. The shuttlecrews have been severely punished for that use of Commonwealth property for personal Enyoment.

2249.12.03:
New Tradition Perk: Star Lords
"It is our destiny to lord over those who are weaker. Obedient nations that swear fealty to our great empire may be permitted to exist... at our discretion."
Effect: -50% time to star integration. +20 Vassal Opinion

2252.03.02:
Phoebe Potter managed to Find "Orillium", a powerfull explosive. And unlike all the other resoruces we have reserached thus far, we actually ahve some in our territory. We also aquired the energy reserves the Coalition deems "nessesary for continued liquidity". As a result the faction is now a whole lot less unhappy.

2254.02.01:
A day of great Tragedy for the Commonwealth of Man:
High Queen Sidney Beauclair I has died at age 82. Her Heir High Queen Henrietta I takes over at the young age of 24.

2254.02.18:
Princess Valentina has been named Heiress.

2254.06.21:
The first Planetary Capitol Complex has been build on New Earth. 3 More are already being build in the Unity Sector, thanks to great Imperial Subsidy.

2255.07.04:
New Tradition Perk: Vassal Acculturation
"We will add the biological and technological distinctiveness of our vassals to our own. Their cultures will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile."
Effect: -33% Subject Integration Cost

2256.01.25:
Trouble on teh Horizon. The Yapahti and Yalon just signed a Non-Agression Pact. This could obvious lead to a defense pact, wich would make the vassalisation of the Yapahti Government unfeasible. The shipbuilding for the Yapahti Subjugtion war begins now.

2256.02.17:
Scientist Eduardo Ibanez has died at age 101. He is the last of our Original Leadership caste to die of old age. The list of his accomplishments in the fields of sciences are immense, as is to be expected. He will be greatly missed.

2256.06.18:
A Miltiary Academy has been build on New Earth.

2256.11.01:
With the tireless efforts of our Engineers, New Earth Spaceport has been fully upgraded to produce our currently largest shipsize - destroyers.

2256.12.15:
Riggan Spice is a powerfull Substance, only produced by the Riggan Commerce Exchange Enclave. Henceforth it will be avalible to our population. This will likely increase happiness and thus productivity across the board.

2257.07.11:
The Uva-Xavani proposed a mutual Defense Pact. This is a important decision that can not be hasted.

Log:
2257.07.11:
While their contribution to the whole was still important, not every dead made the cut to be a true hero of the Empire. In order to properly highlight those that stood out, removing those that did not from our list of heroes is the only way. In the end many did not make the cut, but those that did will now be a even more shining beacon for our Citizen!

2257.08.10:
In the Aesir System we found signs of a Irassian Mining Colony. The Irassians were the dominant power in this sector, lording over dozens of species. They were wiped out by a plague called the "Jarovian Pox". And it seems at least likely that their Subjects had a hand in spreading the plague. If so, their failings will be of vital importance for the future Security of Humanities Manifest Destiny!

2257.12.19:
We Ultimatively decided for the Defensive Agreement with the Uva-Xavani. While such a close alliance with a religious group might be problematic longterm, the strategic use of having at least one ally is not to be understimated.

2258.01.13:
The Yalon Regime sugested a Non-Agression pact. But we are no fools. We know exactly that they only want to protect their Flank as they conquer the Galaxy themself.

2258.01.16:
The Yalon jsut signed a Defense pact with the Kenjodan. We will ahve to see how that situation develops.

2258.05.01:
Our groundforces have been increased to a total of 12 Armies and our Fleet will soon reach 40 Destroyers, enabling us to finally begin teh Subjugation of the Yapathi Republic States.

2258.06.16:
The Kenjodan/Yalon Defense pact did not last long. Apparently there were severe differences in military maters.

2258.09.06:
The Fleet has been reinforced to 40 Units. While still about 50% shy of the total capacity, that should be enough to subjugate the Yapathi using our Caloctoran Vassals as support.
Fleet and Army are moving to Paradise, Kehines System in preparation for the assault.

2259.01.02:
Thanks to the tireless efforts of Sociologists under Tian He (OTG Founder), work on a "Empire Capitol Complex" has begun on new Earth.

2259.02.15:
Interestign find in the Irassian Mining Base. Apparently workers dropped the bodies of their infected comrades into a deep mining hole, in a futile attempt to prevent the Plague from spreading. It is unclear if the infected were still alive at that point.
This shows clearly why it is important to keep travel limited and regulated. As is only natural, we only allow humans free migration across the stars.

2259.03.16:
The Metrak jsut declared war on the Yalon. Who will be victories will be as open, as the question if the Mandasura will intervene in any way.
What the Mandasura will do is equally unclear.

2259.04.01:
The war agaisnt the Yapathi/Heejam Alliance has begun. The goal is nothing less then the subjugation of both parties and their addition to our List of Vassals. While also preventing any larger alliances from forming around the Xenophile Yapathi.

2259.07.23:
The 1st Enemy spaceport has been destoryed with help of the Caloctoran Fleet. 5 destroyers were lost. Meanwhile the enemy main Fleet entered the system.

2259.11.04:
Against all military Sanity, the Yapathi Fleet charged straight at the united Human/Caloctoran Fleets. Half the enemy fleet was destroyed before they jumped out. New ships are being build in New Earths and Unity Spaceports.

2260.03.08:
The first Yapathi planet has been captured. The fleet returns for a minor refit.

2260.07.01:
Tradition Unlock: Fleet Levies
"It is a vassal's sworn duty to provide military support to their overlords. We will fill up the lower ranks of our fleet with recruits from those nations that have pledged to serve us."
Effect: Vassals add 20% of their Naval Capacity to overlord

Civic changes were planned, due to Unlocking of the 3rd Slot. But still on cooldown till 2269.

2260.08.23:
The Fleet has been retrofitted. And while reinforcements are still trickling in, it is returning to the frontlines.

2261.02.13:
The Hejam Fleed tried to stage a counter-attack in the captured System and was annihilated.

2262.03.01:
The Zaydan are ordered to colonise Sasin. They should be suiteable to establish the colony there until humans arrive.

2262.04.20:
Scientist Ni Yang was killed during battles.

2262.12.17:
While we are chasing the remaining enemy Fleet across space, our Vassals have conquered another planet.

2262.05.12:
A alien Menace called a "Spectral Wraith" jsut destoryed the Curator Lambda Enclave.

2264.05.04:
The "Ministery of benevolence" is being build on New Earth. It will allows us ever better control over unruly Integrated Xenos.

2264.09.05:
Sasin Prime has been colonised.

2264.11.18:
Our Fleet has been retrofitted with new equipment and has begun the hunt for the Spectral Entity that dared to destroy the Enclave that would have served us so well. The Caloctoran can now pretty much wrap up this war on it's own, now that the enemy Fleets have been broken.

2265.04.09:
The Yapathi and Heejam have relented to becomming our Vassals. Most importanlty thanks to their Diplomatic Connections we have no once again made contact with Earth!
Unfortunatley earth is still as weak and un-ordered as we left them: The UN managed to become the world government, enforcing their ways of "Liberty for all" and unhealthy Interest in Xenos!

2265.05.23:
We found teh Wraith again. It is in Nimolan, a System with a Blue Star. According to the Curators that should mean it is now much weaker. The time to slay that beast has come!

2265.11.11:
The Wraith prooved more powerfull then we could have expected. The Fleet was practically cut in half jsut trying to engage it. We will need a different approach to fight this being.
The mericless class destroyers will be retrofitted to better fight this being in the future. Shields and afterburners should allow them to close the gap a lot faster and the bigger laser should proove more powerfull.

2266.06.02:
Tradition Unlock: Protection Racket
"Our obligation to protect our vassals from the dangers of the universe is one that we take very seriously. Alas, seeing to the defense of their worlds doesn't come cheap..."
Effect: +10% extra Income from Tributaries.

Domination Finished: -30% Reserach cost for between Vassals and Overlord.

Ascension Perk: Interstellar Dominion (+25% Border Range)

2266.12.15:
Our deal with the Riggan Enclave has run out. It was renewed and we also added the special resource from the Mutaagan and XuraCorp Enclaves to our imperial resources.

2268.09.30:
The Mendrak/Yalon conflict ended with a Decisive Vicotry for the Yalon Regime.

The Yalon and the CoM with it's vassals are the two major powers. The Madasura are still there and might be willing to help against the Yalon.

It should be possible to subjugate the last remaining Merak Colony easily, and then feed them their Original Colonies. This would also free up Rivalry state towards the Yalon Regime.

 

North/East or Gamma Quandrant:
Aside from the Yalon the only real power here are the 2 Fallen Empires.

The Unitied Nations of Sol are the only known Empire in this Quadrant. That means contact with more will be established sooner rather then later.

Our two "Eternal Rivals" are still there.

As are our Uva-Xavani defensive Allies

The big power in the South half of the Galaxy, is the Obadin Cartel however:

Individualist/Fanatic Xenophobe Ethics

Pultocrachic Oligarchy (Oligarchic Authority, Shadow Council [reduced Election Influence Cost], Idealistic Foundation[happier pops], Aristrocratic Elite[more leaders, cheaper Governors]).

 

Ethics (current target/current real):
Authoritarian: 19%/17%; Almost entirely Uri Pops, but gains among Humans

Egaolitarian: 9%/11%; Entirely Uri Pops, Supressed Ethics

Xenophobe: 22%/24%; 21 human and 8 Uri Pops.

Xenophile: 0%/0%;

Miltiarist: 35%/27%; used to be better during war.

Pacifist: 15/13%;

Spiritualist: 0%/3%

Materialist: 0%/1%

 

Factions:
Operation Battle Cry: Imperialist/Militarist, 75% Hap, 33 Pops, 30% Support, Governor Malik-Al Bariki

Human Supremacy Front: Supremacist/Human Xenophobe, 65% Hap, 21 Pops, 19% Support, Admiral Anastasia Zhivenkov

One Throne Group: Totalitarian/Authoritaran; 62% Hap, 20 Pops, 18% Support, Scientist Tian He

National Solvency Coalition: Prosperity/Pacifist; 57% Hap, 17 Pops, 15% Support, Governor Uwe Neumann

Defense First Association: Isolationist/Xeno Xenophobes, 35% Hap, 8 Pops, 7% Support, Scientist Phoebe Potter

Individual Chocie Watch: Progressive/Egalitarian Faction; 0% Hap, 10 Pops, 9% Support, Scientist Ljuba Kuzin

 

 

Xenophile, Spiritualsit and Materialist are still pleasingly absent. Xenophiles are stopped simply by do not mixing populations (except Slavery

With Xenophobe I had a misscalcualtion - Free Xenophobe Aliens join the Isolationist Faction, wich is a seríous Problem. They hate Warfare and Diplomacy, yet they are also Xenophobes so I can not supress them (without also hitting the Supremacist Faction).

 

Between the OBC, HSF and OTG the Government coalition has about 67% Support.

It should be possible to push the NSC to be happy, even while at war. Next Tradition Pick has to be Prosperity and we need some more Strategic Resources (10 in total; 5 current, with Enclave ones)

DFA and ICW are problematic. Not sure what direction to push them towards. Or how to push them into that direction. They have no natural Inclinations and Desert Preference makes it even adding Xenophobe effects hard.
