History of the 1st Aloftewek Council

[Christopher]

So Stellaris got an update.

We got severe overhauls of half the core mechanics (again). New Species Portrait. And with the DLC, space Dragons - firebreath included (Leviathans).

 

While I already started a Multiplayer game with friends using the stock UNS Faction, the is little time for Documentation. So the 1st Aloftewek Council* will be what I play today.

*The names will be mostly based on punni expressions. I wonder if anyone can spot where the came from.

 

The 'Ruforal' come from the Planet 'Ploftehat' in the 'Watrain Spast'-System. They always wondered if there is other life among the Stars. Now after centuries of dreaming, they are finally free to leave the cradle of thier homework.

 

The years is 2200 GTS. The Aloftewek have just finished thier experiments with Warpdrives and are now ready to walk among the Stars. The Survey of the home system and military exploration of the nearby system begins now.

[L. Marcus]

I bought the game yesterday, with the Leviathans story pack. Started playing before noon today. After a while I noticed that I was hungry, looked at the watch, and was not surprised to see that it was 23:30. 

 

My species is a fungoid, preferring tropical worlds, intelligent and thrifty, sedentary and weak, with the individualist, xenophile, and materialist ethoses. I'm playing in a 600 stars elliptical galaxy, with ten other empires. Bar the two fallen empires on the other side of the galaxy, I believe that after 95 game years I'm the big playa around. It certainly helped a lot that the fifth star system I surveyed turned out to have a derelict ringworld, netting me 25 points of engineering research.

 

Not bad.

2200.04.21:
Today is a momentous day, because we have met our first alien Spacefarers. While these beings appear to be low intelligence Animals, they do show us that there is life in our Universe. (Space Whale Sighted)

2200.06.16:
The first Survey of the planets within one Warpjump is complete. We could confirm potentially habitable Planets in Sapad (17) and Tirgira (13) System to the west and south respectively.
Deeper survey of the interstellar medium will now begin.

2200.09.26:
While testing our Survey equipment in the Watrain Spast system, we detected formerly overlooked formation Ordranka's Holding. Preliminary scans indicate it is not natural and looks like writing.

2201.01.30:
After over a year, the Preliminary Survey of Watrain Spast is complete. Our Survey corps is now going to explore planets with Potentially Habitable worlds in more detail.

2201.02.22:
Another Primtive Alien Spaceborne has been found in the Sapad System. These beings appear to Opearte in small 'Flocks'. Their reaction on approach clearly indicates a hostile or defensive reaction. (Space Amobea Sighted).

2201.03.13:
It appears these "Space Amobea" in Sapad are just not moving right now. The survey corp will survey some other system while we hope they move further along thier Migration path.

2201.08.15:
What a joyous moment: We finally found Intelligent Spacefaring life to our South/West. More over, we seem to have found thier home system and it appears they are at the same development stage as us. While translating their language might take time and a combined effort, it appears their species prefers a much colder climate. So conflict for coloniseable systems seems unlikely.
(Arctic Dwelling Spacefaring Empire found in Cyggdar System).

2202.02.18:
Another Intelligent Species in a similar Development state was found to our South. These beings home Planet seems very similar to our own.

2202.06.05:
It appears the Space Amobea have moved out of Sapad. So now the Survey can finally commence.

2202.08.04:
While looking for further Intelligent Neighbours, the 1st Armade found a system with a Ring of Cristalline Asteroids. While potentially rich in minerals the remains of destroyed mining stations and signs of moment among the belt indicate that harvesting might become an issue quickly.

2202.08.07:
A month of Mysteries continues. During survey of the Sapad System the corps found something that appears to be active tracking beacon of some kind.

2202.12.25:
Another primitive Spaceborne has been found. This one appears to be a highly agressive form of Mobile Nebula. (Space Cloud found)

2303.03.11:
While finishing up the Survey of Sapad, the agressive Space Amobea suddenly jumped back in and started attacking our Science Ships. Thanks to them being Exhausted from their jump, the team made it our safely using a Emergency FTL jump

2203.12.09:
A third Intelligent Species was found to the North/east of our home System. Like our first contact, these beings too seem to prefer arctic climates.

2204.05.08:
Far to the North in the Enkef System we found an alien Space Station that seems to be inhabited. The Life Support readings do not conform to any of the previously encountered species precisely, so until establishment of contact we are going to asume they are a new - albeit highly secluded - Enclave*.

2204.07.25:
In the Nothern Aclinda System - wich holds a potential Target for Colonisation - we found our first Primitive Civilisation. These people appear to be still deep in the Stone Age. Debates started wheter or not to settle beside them, to engage in peacefull and mutual exchange.
In either case the hot and dry planet would be extremely inhospitable for our people.

2204.08.03:
Years of research into colonisation has finally paid off. The moment we gather the resources, we can launch our first colony ship.
Efforts to communicate and udnerstand the encountered alien life has been doubled.**

2205.02.02:
Communications has finally been established to our first intelligent Contact.
The Cyggan Blessed Concordat is unfortunately highly Xenophobic and Religiously opinionated agaisnt all other species (Evangelist Zealots; Fanatic Xenophobe). We hope we can still come to a mutual understanding.

2205.02.12:
Unfortunately all attempts at closer interaction with the Cyggan have been met with rejection. Now the Cyggan borders were officially closed to our ships and people, limiting us to purely long range contact.

2205.04.23:
Communication with the Station in Enef has finally been established.
They call themself the "Artisan Troupe"*, a collection of Artists from all across the Galaxy. They offered us thier artistic services, however the prices are currently not affordable for the Council.

2205.10.06:
Having thus far only encountered species on our technological level, we were unprepared for our contact with the Athalid Vesitge.
Apparently an ancient but stagnated empire, they have been able to instantly contact us and warned us that no ships or colonies near thier space will be tollerated. They appear to be highly Xenophobic and Isolationistic.***

2206.04.02:
We finally managed to establish contact with the 3rd contact.
The Galactic Gorothi Coalition seems to be a highly Capitalistic soceity. While they seem willing to trade, they are also highly militarized and centralised - quite a contrast to our people.

2206.06.22:
We establish communication with the final of the Intelligent Neighbours.
The Qasvalyvia Nation is highly geared towards scientific progress. They greted our interest in visits with open arms.

2206.09.17:
In the Qapra Sytems we found another Primitive Civilisation, this time in the Renaissance Age.
That makes the 2nd Primitive Species in a Colonisable System right next to Gorothi Space. The debates if we should colonise those system is now including the question if we should protect those primitive people from the more agressive Neighbours that would maybe not hesistate to just overrun and enslave them.

2207.05.29:
After much coordianted effort, our first Colony ship is finished. It's target will be in the nearby Sapad sytem.
While there are other planets as possible targets (4 in total), none of the seem as enticing as this nearby planet for our first colony.

2207.11.05:
The landing sequence of our first colony ship is completed. A lot of hard work lies ahead of the colonist to establish a "first in" colony so that further growth and imigration can take place.

2208.10.14:
In Voldop on the South/easter galactic border we founds signs of a early space age civilisation. They might soon make the jump to the Stars.

2208.12.02:
Sapad Prime has been officially established. It is now capable of taking on newcommers from our Homeworld. However still much work remains until it is fully operational and self-sufficient.

2209.10.12:
The Wessari Cilivisation in Voldop has been identified. They are close to the leap into the space age. Establishing contact with them to help them make this step and find their way in this dangerous galaxy is being considered. They appear to be a highly warriorlike Culture.

2210.09.12:
Another Primitive Civilisation has been found, but it falls square into the planned expansion of the Qasvalyvia Nation. As the Industrial Age Quasari are extremely religious, it seems unlikely they will react well to contact with the Scientific Qasvalyvia Nation.

2211.08.25:
A terrible loss for our people happened today. While surveying the border between the south and north eastern quadrant, our fleet jumped to close to a Space Amobea Flock, was attacked and destroyed before emergency FTL jump could be ordered.

2211.11.22:
The Observation Post in Voldop is complete. The work of helping the Wessari to finish the final step of thier journey into space has begun. It is expected to take about 3 Years.

2212.07.15:
It appears Space Piracy is now a thing. The "Cabal of Captains" has formed, a space piracy group with the declared goal of pillaging wherever they can.

2212.08.30:
The writings on Odranka's Holding have finally been deciphered. Apparently someone used a mining-laser to carve the biography of a alien mercenary into the moon surface.

2213.08.29:
Tones have become rather rough between the Religious Cyggan and the Scientific Qasvalyvia to our south. Since there is already considerable emnity between the Cyggan and our people, we decide to throw our support in with the Qasvalyvia.

2213.10.15:
A non-agression pact has been signed between the Qasvalyvia and our people. This will further improove our relations.
A further Defense Pact is being considered by both sides.

2213.10.23:
The defense pact has been signed.****

2213.10.26:
The Qasvalyvia nation signed a further Migration treaty with our Nation.

2213.11.13:
When a asteroid sleeps, what does it dream of?
We may soon know. A asteroid far off Astinda System seems to contain a form a primitive Neural Lattice. A project to move it to our space has been started.

2213.11.18:
It appears the intelligence in the Asteroid was not capable of surviving outside it's protective shell. Once exposed to the vacuum of space it quickly fractured, making this perhaps the first time one of our people has killed a being not from our homeworld.

2213.12.02:
While Surveying the systems around Voldop, we found yet anotehr primitive Civilisation. These however are still in the Stone Age. We hope the Wessari people will let them develop peacefully.

2214.03.06:
The Pirate group "Cabal of Captains" finally revealed itself in a open attack on our Installations in the Sapad system.
Admiral Karba has been tasked with quickly preparing our limited fleet to meet these Anarchists.

2214.04.23:
What does a Ceramic Pot do in Orbit around the Star in the Qapra system? A section of the survey corp is tasked to answer that question.

2214.07.20:
The Pirate attack on Sapad destroyed the local mining Station before the local fleet could be mobilised. However, chances are good to track them back to their base to end the pirates reign of terror.

2214.10.19:
The Pirate base has been found in the Lythorius System. A operartion by the Gorothi agaisnt the pirates is already underway, we decided to join under thier command.

2214.12.08:
The Pirate threat has been neutralized. However the Gorothi did not wait for our fleet to reach to help.

2215.03.02:
The Wessari have finally reached the Stars. The New "Holy Wessari League" has joined us as a Protectorate.

2216.04.30:
Space Amobeas attacked our mining stations in Watrain Spast. Our military was not able to counter the powerfull cosmoceans and focussed on evacuating the stations.

2216.08.24:
The Gorothi placed a military Frontier Post into the Qapra system, effectively blocking us from colonizing the System. Future opeartions to protect the local primitives are being considered.

2216.09.12:
In order to fight of the Hostile and Agressive Neighbours better, a Reserach agreement has been signed between our and the Southern Nation, further strenghtening the ties between our people.

2217.01.27:
Our new Colonyship "Seleng the Venerable" was today finished and left the Spaceport. It will go north into the Aclinda System and towards the Artisan Troupe's home.

2218.01.27:
Our investigation of the ceramic pot is over and we learned - absolutely nothing. On the plus side our scientists did have some time to spend on philosophical and economic questions when they needed a break for think about a ceramic pot in a perfect orbit around a star.

2218.04.01:
Our first in Colony on Aclinda Prime has been established. Meanwhile the Gorothi established a colony in the nearby Cordip system.

2218.08.02:
Shortly after restarting they exploration of the South/North Quandrant border again, a new Empire has been found. Contact is being established.

2219.01.03:
We established Communication with our newest Neighbour.
The Ox'Braxi interplanetari order is a Religious group close to the South/Nort border, the Gorothi and us.
As the Cyggan before, the Ox'Braxi quickly closed their Borders towards us.

2219.07.01:
Sapad Prime has grown to the point that a Planetary Adminsitration can be supported now. The appropirate resources have been allocated to the Planet and work has begun.

2220.09.15:
Another new Contact.
The Imperial Tyrathian Stars is highly imperialistic, but far out of our immediate Neighbourhood. They are west of the Cyggan State.

2220.11.01:
A 4th Colony has been errected in the Tigira System.

2223.02.01:
The Ox'Braxi just declared us to "Targets of Opportunity".

2223.07.14:
We encountered a new Type of Cosmozean, of sorts. It appears to be a fully automated drone Station and Fleet. Reserach into thier origins are underway.

2223.11.07:
The unknown Fleet and station appear to be ancient, abandoned Mining Drones. Their continued operation is impressive and further investigation by the Engineerng Department has been ordered.

2224.06.04:
The ancient mining drones attacked our exploration fleet. Only 2 of the 6 ships escaped and a heading back the friendly space for repairs.

2224.08.26:
Another colonyship is underway, this time to found a mining colony on a tropical planet in the Seaetera system at the westernmost part of our border.
Another colony ship is being build. It's goal will be the ocean planet in the Aclinda System.

2227.02.15:
The Cyggan and Ox'Braxi just signed a mutual Defense pact, idicating a troublesome closeness between these two expansionist empires.

2227.04.07:
We signed a Defense Pact with the Gorothi

2227.09.02:
Thanks to traded Star Charts we made contact with the Qopinja Mandate, a Nation of Peacefull Traders.

2230.07.02:
In the last years a massive Arming project has been executed and now the Corvette Flotilla under Admiral Karba is at the top of what our colonies can support.
It is time to hunt a few of those "Void Cloud" entities.

2232.12.21:
Two years and two dead Voidclouds later, considerable usefull data has been gathered. The Mining drones will be the next target of opportunity.

2235.03.01:
Now the Ancient Mining drones too fell to our Warriors. Still, there is much reserach to be done before we can consider taking on any of the bigger local empires.

2235.08.17:
The Imare from the South/Western arm of the Galaxy keep trying to negotation a mutual defense pact with us. However, we can not yet deal with the added obligations that would entail. First we have to consolidate our 3 disparate Defense pacts of the South/east into a powerfull Alliance.



*One of the Additions of Leviathan: Neutral Enclaves. Can be used for various unique Diplomatic interactions.
Artisans can give some rare buildings with Happyness, Xenophiliac, Migration and Ethics Divergence over expensive projects and finally increase happiness Empirewide through festivals.

**They fixed that bug where I could just paralellise the species communication projects. Still, I got the Colony ship tech so I got time now.

***Also, they look like giant butterflies. One of the new "cutie" Portraits of Leviathan. It is fun (in a highly disconcerting way) to have them have the most agressive AI types in the game.

****Defense pacts cost a lot of Influence per month. But few things can beat them in building trust for further agreements. Like Research and Migration treaties. Not to mention the benefit of not being attacked quite so freely.

Executive Elemano, Champion of the People, Architectural Sense, Agenda: A New Generation (Population Growth); Start: 2240.04.11.



2236.08.18:
The Intensive Preliminary work to form a Federation has been started.

2238.03.04:
The Avim Systems is a uninhabitable collection of small stellar objects. However, preliminary surveys have revealed 4 areas of special interest that will require longer exploration by the Survey team under Linntyl

2238.06.27:
Our inofficial Federation has expanded west. The "Imperial Tyrathian Stars" is a hegemonic empire to the in the South/west. It is also a sworn enemy of the Imari Consensus. However since it is a neighbour of the Cyggan wich puts it into conflcit with the Cyggan/Braxi defense pact. Wich result in Qasvalyvia and Gorothi expanding thier Defense Pacts to them.

2238.07.25:
We rejected a similar offer from the Imperial Tyrathian Stars, as we need to focus our Political energy on domestic maters - and the forming of a proper alliance.

2239.06.20:
The Museum of Exobiology on Plotehat asked us the procure a set of exceptional alien specimen from across the galaxy. The Survey teams have been order to include that into thier shedule. Most of the specimen are in or around Gorothi Space.

2239.09.29:
While the Planet Aclinda Secundus has reached the population where a planetary administration would be usefull, political bickering prevents the building to start.
(Not enough Influence. Damn those two pacts.)

2240.01.04:
A new leader for our executive has to be elected. Our 3 Planetary Governors are ready to take the job, but who it will be is not yet known.

2240.02.01:
Finally work on the Aclinda Secundus Planetary Administration can begin.

2240.04.01:
Executive Elemano has been Elected.

2240.10.04:
The Invitation ínto a Federation has been send to the Qasvalyvia Nation.

2240.10.06:
The "Bright Entente" has been formed, combining the Resource of both our Empires under a common banner. Design work on the Federation Fleet has begun. For the first 10 years, the Aloftewek will hold the place of Federation President.

2240.10.27:
The Gorothi have asked to join the Entente as well, while the Imari and Tyrathian seek Association Status at least.

2240.12.03:
The Imari and Tyrathi quickly ended thier Association status after the admission of the Gorothi.

2241.03.04:
The Holy Wessari League has now left our Technological Shadow. They are still Vassals of the Aloftewek, of course. But they are no longer considered a "Protectorate", but a fully fleged vassal.

2241.04.27:
10 year Research Agreements have been signed with the Wessari and the Imari.

2243.02.21:
Linntyl died today at age 75. She was renowned scientist in the area of Statecraft and Genetics, however he contribution when braving various Anomalies will be remembered most fondly.

2243.12.21:
A recent expansion of the Braxi means we can no longer access the north/eastern quadrant of the Galaxy while access to the south/western is blocked by the Cyggan.

2244.02.12:
Today the Bright Entente votes on a Libeartion war against the northern half of the Cyggan empire. The goal is to dislodge the Blockade blocking us from the south/west quadrant. While also bringing the people under a more open regime.
3 Systems and 3 Planets in total will be affected. However a 4th planet also in one of the systems can not be liberated at the present time.

2244.02.15:
All powers of the Entente agreed. The 1st Cyggan liberation war has now begun. Enemies will be the Cyggan to the west. And the Ox'Braxi to the north.

2244.04.23:
A massive Cyggan fleet has entered the Seatera System, bent on destroying the local spaceport in all likelyhood.

2244.10.06:
In a battle of lasers agaisnt torpedoes, the 1st Armada under Admiral Karba (69), won and defeated the Cyggan fleet in Seatera. However the fleet is far from unscathed by this battle (25/38 survived). All the damaged ships are ordered back home, while the remainder (12) continues to defend our space.

2245.05.16:
A small Qasva fleet infiltrated the Cyggan home System and destroyed the enemy spaceport, drastically reducing the enemies production ability.

2245.07.07:
A deepstrike by the Gorothi against the Braxi turned out a lot less sucessfull, having to retreat against a powerefull enemy armada.

2246.01.16:
While the groundforces to lead the attack are not yet fully ready, the 1st Armada has already begun laying siege to the enemy Capitol Planet. The hope is that such a swift, decisives strike would force the enemy government to surrender cutting the war shorter.

2246.10.24:
The troops are leaving Saetera Prime today. The siege of the Cyggan Captitol has progressed well thus far. Meanywhile the Qasva fleet has been destroying military space installations all across Cyggan space.

2247.03.01:
The Landing of troops on the Cyggan capitol has begun.

2247.04.18:
Cyggan has been take by our ground assault.

2248.01.18:
Our fleet has destoryed a Spaceport over another secondary world, preparing the way for a ground invasion.

2248.05.04:
A positive message amongst all this warfare: Our project to gather Speciemen for the Museum of Exobiology has been completed. The 8th and final specimen had been tracked down in Imari Space.

2248.05.05:
Today we started a bold new project: Learning how to transform one Biosphere into another. Scientist are certain that the astronomic costs could be reduced significantly if we can get our hands on specific helpfull gasses and liquids.

2248.08.02:
The 2nd enemy Planet has been taken. That leaves 4 more to invade, inlcuding the 3 that are the actuall goal of this war.

2249.06.12:
The 3rd planet has been secured, while the 4th is already under fire.

2250.01.13:
While the ground combat on the 4th planet is being finished, the fleet has been ordered to engage a Ox'Braxi fleet that suddenly appeared in our space.

2250.01.30:
The 4th planet has been taken, leaving only 2 in two systems as well as a Braxi fleet to go.

2250.06.14:
The enemy fleet has laid siege to our occupation of the Cyggan homeworld. Our fleet has just been upgraded and reinforced, and is send to intercept the enemy before he can escape.

2250.10.03:
A wild FTL chase after the enemy fleet has started, with our fleet missing the enemy barely every time.

2251.05.11:
The Research pacts with the Imari and Wessari have been renewed.

2251.10.22:
Treachery! After having leading our fleet on a wild goose chase for months and gradually gaining an advantage, the enemy fleet made a surprise attack when our fleet was just recovering from the warp jump. However the enemy was routed after a short exchange.

2253.01.29:
With the war going overwhelmingly well we now have the leisure resources to trade with the Artisan Troupe for the first time.
A great Monument has been ordered and we became Patron for 10 years. The payoff of the later step is not yet knowable.

2253.02.09:
The Cyggan have re-captured one of the taken planets. It is now time again to fully focus our attention on the Cyggan empire.

2253.07.05:
Admiral Karba died at age 78 today.

2253.07.13:
The 1st Armada has been put under command of Admiral Linntyl (33), not to be mistake for the legedary scientist of a similar name.

2254.03.09:
The plans for a network of FTL inhibitor platforms have been made. Work is expected to start within the year.

2255.04.03:
Mission Accomplished.
The enemy gave in to our demands. Our ships and soldiers can now return home and the new Cyggan Administration has formed.

2255.05.23:
The Cyggan Administration subjected itself to our rule. They are now our vassals, as the Wassari before them.

2255.08.04:
The artisan Troupe has contacted us. They request additional resources as apparently their people have been fallen into slight depression and disconnect to the physical world. We decided to give them the requested resources as we can spare them.*

2256.09.02:
While we were at a slight disadvantage as the enemy already had bigger Destroyer class ships in it's fleet, we now have aquired that technology ourself. Research into optimising the production and maybe build something even bigger are underway.

2257.02.08:
The first Destroyer of the Ethill class has been ordered. The Drydock is expected to take slightly under 3 Months to complete the work.
Meanwhile Executive Eleman has been talking about "drastically shorting the Leaders term" and potentially turn voting over from the ruling council to the population at large.


*I am not sure what giving resources does precisely. What I do know that last time giving it, I got a Empire Unique Building from them.

2258.01.05:
After several years of Research, Improved Warp drives have been developed. The new units have better Range, Speed and lower post-jump cooldown times.

2258.09.22:
6 Destroyers of the new Ethill Class have been build and the entire fleet has been equipped with 2nd Generation Warpdrives.
Admiral Linntyl has been ordered to take the bulk of the fleet onto a Galactic Exploration mission. The first goal will be North of the Ox'Braxi, whose territory we are finally able to jump over with the new drives.

2258.12.14:
A new Message from the Artisan Troupe. It appears they have nothing right now. Executive Elemano decided to give them a bit more time.

2259.07.02:
Uriy pact is ... really hard to describe without sounding offensive or judging.
I guess "Warrior Tentacle Monsters that really like aliens"*? Maybe "Fanatical Befrienders"? That being said they appeared to be perfect gentle-beings. Just them hitting on everyone they come into personal contact with is going to need some time to get used too...
We offered them Association status with the Federation, just to be on the save side in case they want to get too "friendly".

2260.05.02:
Our Military Fleet has successfully flown around the Galactic core. While they are still months from home, they have reached Xulback's Maw from the North/western quadrant.

2261.08.25:
After running into a nother set of Mining Drones and a Void cloud, the Fleet has been ordered to return to save space for repair and weapons refit.

2261.09.11:
The Artisans seem to have had a serious equipment Malfunction and offered us the scrap. However we instead decided to repair the equipment for them.

2263.03.04:
Before he could actually commit to his Reforms towards a full Citizen Democracy, Executive Elemano died at age 76.
The choice is between Falatir - a scientist - and Limathar - a Governor.

2263.05.02:
Despite not being a friend of the Democratic ideals of his predecessor, a will named Falatir as the rightfull inheritor. That swayed the selection decisively in his favor.

2265.09.15:
The peace treaty with the Cyggan Blessed Concordat has ended. It is now time to now free more of the Cyggan People.
The target will be all but the Main System, as well as forcing the Ox'Braxi to banish the use of Slavery.

2266.08.22:
The Cyggan homeworld has been taken in a switft strike yet again.

2266.09.01:
Sensing weakness because they are tied up in the war with us, the Tyrathian also declared war on the Cyggan/Braxi alliance.

2266.12.14:
In Aclinda Secundus on the Gorothian Border gorothian Broadcasts have garnered attention. Our scientists noticed a measureable effect of one of the Instruments on our people. Our scientists have been tasked with Analysing the instrument and what gives it that unique effect on our phisiology.

2267.05.01:
Despite our best efforts, the Tyrathian Slave armies beat us to taking the 2nd Cyggan Planet.

2267.12.25:
The remaining wargoal in Cyggan space has been fuffilled. We will now go for Braxi space to force a quicker end to this war.

2268.01.29:
Executive Falatir died at age 74.
Only Lymathar is eligible for the post. However the inaugration will take it's time.

2268.02.06:
The Computer scientist Veltassa died at age 76, due do an accident while working on advanced Point Defense Weaponry.
Tymaphon (35) takes his place.

2268.04.28:
Limathar (78) has been Elected for the post of Executive.

2268.07.03:
The Lox'Ungrak-Va Progenitors contacted us today. Making it the third of what we dubbed "Fallen Empire" to contact us. These are very friendly to us and even opened thier Borders to us, thanks to our similar views on Aliens.
They also look like cute Gecko-Monk people.

2268.09.22:
In a surprise turn the Uriy have declared that they will now defend the Ox'Braxi from any direct attack. However due to thier Association status with our Federation they will not interfere in the running war.
This will make the liberation of the Braxi people difficulty.

2268.10.08:
As the Tyrathian are making incursions into the Braxi territory, we decided to end the war with only the 2nd Planet in Khamb freed.
This planet housed the Andigonj people, a former Stone Age civilisation taht was enslaved by the Cyggan. They have formed the new Andigonj Confederacy.

2268.11.04:
Considering their weak galactic position, the Andigonj agreed to become our vassal. The plans are to integrated them as soon as feasible.

2268.11.06:
Having considerable Leisure resources at our disposal, Executive Limathar choose to renew our Patronage of the Artisans.

2270.10.01:
With Limathar the 4th Executive died in Office now. The only candidate for the post is the (consufingly named) Limathar

2270.11.02:
We found a 4th Fallen Empire. The "Mildari Archivists" consider themself "keepers of knowledge". Wich means that while they are scientifically minded, they also consider certain technologies "Dangerous".

2270.12.28:
The 2nd Limiathar has been made Executive. She is already being called "Limiathar the lesser", for a total lack of ambition or special traits.

2271.06.09:
We have fully analysed the Gorothian Instrument with it's unique effect on our people.

2272.02.09:
The Artisan Newsletter reached us today. It appears on of their residents developed a device wich can transmit sensations of smell directly into a being. They asked for more materials to fully develop that idea into art. We granted them the resources.

2272.06.01:
In a surprise turn of Events, Limathar "the lesser" announced proceeding with the transformation of our nation from a Oligarchic System to a fully Democratic one.
President Limathar will stay in charge until the first free Election ins 10 years.

2273.10.18:
The Tyrathian expansion into the remaining Cyggan space appears over. The Cyggan are no Vassals of the Tyrathian.

2273.11.13:
A Federation invite has been send to the Uriy pact. Their acceptance seems highly likely.
Meanwhile the Tyrathian agression can not remain unanswered. While the other members are leery to revoke the association status, our government has made it clear that they will not tollerate them any longer (declared Rivalry).
Hopefully this will reduce relations to the point where the Tyrathian will revoke thier association themself.

2273.12.09:
A Research Agreement has been signed with the Uriy. The personel that has to enter Uriy space will be briefed on the specific mating patterns (usually shows of martial prowess as used to impress potential partners, preferably from other species). Both genders have to be equally prepared.

2274.01.13:
After some additional insults, the Tyrathian finally revoked the association status. The truce will last at least until 2284.
There has been harsh critique of the other alliance partners for this treatment.

2274.01.25:
A liberation war has been proposed against the Ox'Braxi Nation. All Alliance members are likely to agree.

2274.02.02:
The war has officially begun. After the casualties of the previous 2 Wars resistance is expected to be extremely low.

2274.03.12:
Another new Cosmocean species has been found. Research into details is underway.

2275.12.14:
After an intense bombardment by the Federation Fleet, our groundtoops are finally landing.
In addition the 1st Armada under Admiral Linntyl managed to return to friendly space, has gone through some upgrades and is now joining the fight.

2276.01.02:
At the end of our Patronage, the Artisans contacted us. They apparently somehow managed to create a piece of art - a ministery of culture - whose mere presence in our empire can get people to work together better**

2276.03.06:
It tool only 3 months to conquer the Braxi homeworld.
Now the other planets are going to shift int our focus.

2276.09.07:
Creepy. A derelict ship adrift in space turned out to have been overrun by a form a brain parasites that turned the crew mad. Thanks to our science teams we figured out how to effectively detect and combat them should we encounter them elsewhere.

2276.11.03:
With Derokem in Raxxum, the 2nd wargoal has been secured.

2276.12.03:
A true Galactic Nation needs a central seat of power apropirate for it. Work on a Empire Capital-Complex has begun on Ploftehat. The work is expected to take several years to finish.

2277.06.18:
With the 3rd planet captured, the Ox'Braxi Order had to relent.

2277.07.29:
The Uriy tried to give the Ox'Braxi Association status, but we rejected that option.
The Ox'Braxi Associated Stars has formed around the former homeworld.


*The Uriy pact was my take on the "Fanatical Befrienders AI type, associated with the "Blorg" stock race. It is set to appear in every game.

**That is the Artisan building I wanted. It is a Empire Unique with Empire Wide effects.

2277.07.29:
The Fleet has been ordered to engage teh Cristalline entities in the North/east quadrant. The hope is to aquire some unique technology to get an edge towards our enemies.

2277.08.01:
The bew Ox'Braxi State asked for Vassalage under our Government. It was granted.

2277.10.25:
There has been considerable unrest caused by several faction that had formed during the last wars. While their support is waning again now, their power and reach is not to be underestimated. Steps will have to be taken to counter such development in the future.

2277.10.27:
The Lox'Ungrak-Va Progenitors contacted us today.* They assume our empire will not survive the coming centuries and said we should send a few million of our people to live in a preserve as part of their "Endangered Species" program.
Aside from being insulting, they also did not aske for volunteers but demanded them. We rejected that proposal.

2278.01.22:
It is important to be clear what one stands for. As example, it was now made illegal to comit too war's of conquest. Wars of Liberation are still allowed, however.

2278.11.13:
The Andigonj had a really rough start. Being a Stone-Age Civilisation enslaved by the Cyggan, they were only recently freed and given sovereignty. However they quickly petitioned for Vassalage under the Aloftewek Accord.
Until the the Situation has not improoved. So we now decided to fully integrate them into our empire, to give them full access to our resources and technology, while also giving them all the benefits of being udner our rule.
The integration process is expected to take only 2 Years, but will take considerable effort during that time**

2280.10.28:
Of the 4 planets in the Aclinda System, 2 are inhabited. 1 is marked for Terraforming or later colonisation. And the 4th harbors a primitive species. The species was under passive observation for quite some time now. However during a plant gathering mission one of the scientist has gone missing. A immediate search did not succeed, because we could not risk alerting the natives to our presence.

2280.11.01:
Gluggbafh in Kamp System - the only planet of the Andigonj has been fully integrated into the Accord.
Governor Yndan has been named to take the building on the planet into his hands.
However, a lot of the surface is still covered in massive glaciers - a obstacle our previous colonisation attempts never had to overcome.

2280.11.05:
As we now control a cold climate planet, bot the Uriy and Gorothi Government choose to allow free migration between thier empires and our planets. The offer was accepted

2280.11.11:
Our Cyggan and Ox'Braxi vassals also offered free migration, wich was also accepted.

2280.12.25:
A whole group of Andigonj and remainign Cyggan that remain steadfeast in thier "no alien" views, started a Faction to seperate the planet from the Accord.

2281.02.09:
After the research branch finished thier extensive investigation into the Uplifting of pre-sentient species, they now focus all thier effort on making all that land on Gluggbafh accessible.

2281.08.17:
We found the mother of all Cristaline Entities in the Dontaur systems. Firguratively because of the size. We are not yet certain if literally too, but as it is surrounded by a Cristaline Entity Armada that seems at least plausible. Remote research has begun.

2281.12.05:
Our Fleet finished retrofitting to a new "Cristallien Hunter" armament. The loadout eshews Point Defense, in favor of more armor piercing weapons.

2282.01.02:
Our remote observation of hte Cristalline 'Mother' entity yielded results. We have figured out how to simulate the self-regeneration cristalline hull of the Cristalline Entities.

2282.09.01:
Our new and first democratically elected President takes office today. President Bernalon (40) will stay in office for the next 10 years, baring any accidents or being voted out (wich seems unlikely at best).
This also marks the first time in the last 80 years in wich a Chairman did not end his rulership with his death.

2283.11.15:
Similar to the Cristalline Entities, it appears the Mining Drones too have a "core System". Apparently a sort of mineral processing hub in the Suth System, just near the end of the Tyrathian Empire.

2284.02.17:
The Fleet Enganged another Cristalline Entity System, suffering heavy casualties (20/40 Corvettes) in the process.

2284.09.03:
Research into a new Shipclass has been completed. After the Spaceports have been upgraded to support them, the new Cruisers will be a welcome addition to our fleets.

2284.11.24:
Strange Reports on Gablor (the planet where we lost a scientist). One of the Kingdoms has rallied under a Mysterous Religious Figure and showed use of Technology far beyond what is to be expected of a Bronze Age Civilisation. We asume a connection to the missing scientist.
Effectively the planet just made a leap into the Industrial Age! Quite alarming.

2284.12.26:
Gluggbafh has been fully freed of the Glacial foramtions that blocked so much of it's habitable surface. Also the upgrade of most of our Spaceports is complete.
12 Vithar Class Cruisers have been ordered to be build.

2285.04.06:
We have finally unlocked the "Secret" of Self-Regenerating hulls from the Cristaline Entities. This should drastically increase the ability of our ships to operate away from home.

2285.08.01:
We once again became Patrons of the Artisans for the following 10 years. We also negotiated a (unrelated) deal, that they will be touring across our plants for the next 5 years to increase morale.

2285.12.02:
We found a Pirate "base" of sort in the Acculum System. Aside from numerous small ships, there is also a "Battleship" of sorts. It appears to be a collecting of Shipparts as well as several asteroid bases with engines and considerable armament.
We will put them on the "list of things to deal with".

2286.01.24:
Some of the Artisans feel so happy on our planets that they decided to stay. We allowed them to pick a place to live.

2287.05.06:
The fleet has been fully upgraded and expanded to include the new Cruiser class ships. We can now engange the hostile inhabitants across the galaxy.

2287.09.03:
We made contact with the "Curator Enclave". They are guardians of Knowledge, similar to the Keepers of Knowledge. Unlike those however, they do not hoard knowledge but freely share it.
We made a deal that they will aid us without our reserach efforts.

2288.04.06:
The Artisans development of the "Scentillus Rift" (that can project smell directly into the users body) has apparently created a whole new for of art.

2288.04.23:
The Invasion of the Mining Drone Hub System has begun.

2288.09.16:
The Gorothi want to vassalise the remainders of the Ox'Braxi order. We agreed to their decision, asuming the war will be over quickly and decisively. However our populace might not be as happy with that decision.

2288.12.17:
Sensing blood in the water, the Tyrathian invaded the Hub System Suth as well, propably to capture any technology for themself.
Our fleet races to lay claim to the big price - the or grinder Station - also by far the most dangerous element in the system.

2289.04.01:
The race for the base ended indecisevely. The resources the base had stored have been gathered around the nearbly asteroid.

2291.03.18:
After having their 2nd Captitol overrun by ground invasion, the remaning Ox'braxi Relented to Gorothi order.

2291.06.20:
The first basic infrastructure on Gluggbafh has been finished.

2291.11.02:
Another Festival has been organized. This will hopefully help the people re-integrating into our soceity.

2292.03.08:
Tigara has been integrated into the new Core Sector, to better organise manage the Planets.
Also Terraforming of Saetera 3 from a Alpine to a Arctic Climate has begun. Once finished this will allow Colonist from Gluggbafh to settle there effectively.

2292.03.22:
The Fleet has mobilised to take out the Privateer basis in the Acculum System.

2292.04.07:
Once again several Organizers of the Festival of Worlds wanted to migrate to use. However, there is still no space for them.

2292.09.02:
A new round of presendential elections has begun. In all likelyhood Bernalon will be re-elected.

2292.12.01:
As expected, Bernalon was re-elected.

2293.02.29:
After serious losses, our fleet had to retreat out of the Privateer System. The smaller "New Blood" Fleet had ben destoryed, but the stronger fleets prooved a too serious challenge.

2294.03.16:
The missing scientist contact us. It appears he was indeed behind the significant advancements of the native species.
He freely admitted that he intentionally violated the Non-Interference/Passive Observation rules because he "was tired of them". He is building himself an empire to "inherit the next age". We are left with no clear choice on how to deal with him...

2295.03.09:
The fleet has been reinforced and retrofitted and will once again try to dislodge the Privateer Presence.

2296.08.27:
While we managed to kill the 2nd priate fleet, the pirate flagship prooved a insurmountable obstacle.

2297.08.22:
The Rogue Scientist has begun his offensive to conquer the rest of the planet. A plan has been brought forward to remove him using Ground Forces, even if that might have longterm effects on the culture.
The Plan has been Greenlit by President Bemalon.

2298.08.06:
The forces over Gablorr have arrived. The extraction of the scientist begins now.

2299.02.06:
The extraction was a success, however it was far from a silent operation. Hundreds of natives had to be shoot down when they tried to protect their "god". They also still posses all the technology that the Rogue Scientist gave them.
The longterm effects on this Civilisation are yet to be seen.

2299.03.09:
A new 5 and 10 year treaty has been negotiated with both Enclaves.

2231.03.09:
The 2nd reinforcement and retrofitting of the fleet has been completed. This time we eshewed Corvettes entirely, going for a pure Cruiser/Destroyer fleet.

2302.08.01:
After a elongated hunt and a Spacebattle that can only be described as a "Siege", the Pirate Galleon "Mishap" is no more.
3 of 13 Cruisers and 4 of 37 Destroyers did not make it home, but the rest was victorious.

2302.11.01:
New Centhor class battleships have been developed. It will take considerable time to gather the resources needed to build them.

2303.03.01:
Bernalon has been re-elected as president a 2nd time.

2303.03.22:
We have begun integrating the liberated Cyggan Adminsitration. The process is expected to take 5 years.

2305.09.08:
The Bright Ententen once again declared war, this time on the Tyrathian Galactic Empire and thier Cyggan vassals. The goal is to liberate the Cyggan colonies from both Vassalage and their current government.

2306.03.20:
The Cyggan fleet made a suicidal charge agaisnt our Fleet while defending the Cyggdar System.

2306.05.03:
Admiral Linntyl died at age 86 when starting the attack on the Cyggdar Homesystem spaceport. No alternate commander will be nameable until the attack is complete.

2306.07.11:
After the destruction of the Spaceport, Admiral Jesslur takes the lead of the 1st Armada.

2306.08.23:
While the Fleet bombards the planet, General Haghonon takes control of the Ground Forces.

2306.09.20:
Almost a the same time the Tyrathian and Uriy Fleets entered the system. The allied fleets will try to combine thier strenght in order to combat the much larger enemy Fleet.

2307.02.22:
The Tyrathian fleet has been destroyed at considerable cost. But they are done non the less.

2307.07.19:
The Land Invasion on Cyggia has begun.

2307.09.01:
After only 2 Months, Cyggia is ours. The Fleet turns towards the Izta System.

2307.11.26:
As the Alliance is already bombarding in Izta, The fleet baring the transports turns north towards a small enemy enclave.

2308.03.04:
The Cyggan Adminsitration has been integrated successfully.

2308.05.13:
The Shantari on Gurashim in Azha System are a Atomic Age Civilisation in the for Cyggan Administration Borders. Due to thier proximity to reaching the stars we decided to enlighten them technologically.

2309.02.27:
The generally peacefull Imary to the west have smelled blood. Thanks the to the losses the Tyrathian incurred during the current war, they too have begun to invade Tyrathian space.

2309.11.13:
Due to alliance fleet engaging enemy ships all across the battlefield, the Izta invasion could not be done. However now the 1st Armade arrives in a system allready heavily shelled by the remnants of the Adminsitration Fleet.

2310.01.12:
Bhugrosh has been taken, but the Tyrathian still refuse to surrender those planets. Further attacks will have to be done to convince them.

2311.06.25:
Following the basic ideas behind Uplifting pre-sentient species, we figured out how to modify our existent species.

2311.09.03:
The Shantari have been saved from potential self-Eliminiation in a Nuclear war and joined us among the stars. A great donation of resources has been given to them to aid them in building up their civilisation.

2312.06.29:
After a dragged out war the Tyrathian finally suredenred all the planets. The last of the Cyggan are not free of both foreign rule and thier racist government.

2312.07.01:
The new "United Cyggan League" has been offered both status as protectorate and a Migration treaty.
They accepted within a few days.

2312.12.09:
A new Social Welfare Program has been initiated. This will hopefully help the people to re-affirm their faith into our Great Stellar Nation.

2313.06.01:
Bemalon has been Re-Confirmed as our President.

2315.01.01:
It has been 115 Years since we left our Homeworld.

And now there is a update that fixed again so much, I propably have to start a new game
