Operation Battle Cry; Imperialist (Militarist); Founded 2210.06.24 by Scientist Eric Holdern.
Human Supremacist Front; Spremacist (Xenophobe); Founded 2212.05.24 by Executor Sidney Beauclair
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. -
edit: Or so someone thought at 1340 hrs. That was someone else almost an hour ago and now I think it may not be so much of a stretch. But it looks like a throwaway line we never will know the meaning of.
Lucius Alexander
The palindromedary suspects that there can be many other interpretations we haven't even thought of yet
Even throwaway lines often serve a purpose in Schlock Mercenary. Often a plotpoint/Eureka moment later on.
Like back in 2013, where we got reminded of Enesby's "Boy Band" past repeatedly:
http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2013-01-26
Maybe it will be Schlock to convince the Matroshka Brain to stop being in hiding? Simply based on him having died once already?
-
This IS Schlock we're talking about.
Lucius Alexander
The palindromedary says, so the next statue might be of Tagon because Tagon doesn't want it?
It is. So that idea had crossed my mind as well. But I think he respects Tagon (both gone and present) too much to ever eat his Statue. Maybe if it was Ovalwik coated, but who would do that?
In turn it would be totally in line with him to do something incredibly stupid to "save the day" - if it actualy needs saving then or not - to earn his 3rd life and a statue for Nr. 2.

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.

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.

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". -

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

IS Schlock joking or does he actually plan to eat the statue?
Lucius Alexander
The palindromedary wonders what the statue was made of
I think he means that if Tagon does not want it anymore, the next Statue will be of him.

And now Kaff and Schlock are making jokes about dying stupidly and being reborn:

Not exactly space news, but it goes into SciFi.
Cancer Drugs tend to be kind of bad for the body. The best ones could be worse for the body then cancer itself. So one goal is it to get the drug right into the cancer cell itself. You need less because it is working at the spot you want it to work. And thus less damage to the body as a whole.
But Nanobots are still a bit off into the future to do that. So scientists are looking for workarounds. Two common approaches are:
Bacteriums tend to cause immune reaction and might form colonies, wich would cause their own issues.Micelles tend to loose thier load before they get to the target.
Scientist in Dresden, Germany are looking into a 3rd carrier. One of the last ones you would expect. But one that also makes total sense in restrospect:
Sperm Cells. Current test use those from bulls, before anyone asks.

Yeah, I am calling this a bust too. I had hopes of maybe giving them Oreb without pops evacuated and buildings razed, but they have way too much warscore to accept that.
It was just incredbly poor luck for me to spawn right next to a Fanatic Militarist Empire. I also seem to need to relearn the early game/space station approach. And maybe go for energy weapons this time, they might be more powerfull in the new version.

Summary: Expanded. Got war declared on me. And am loosing it- again.

Ordered Society Coalition, Totalitarian. Founded: 2211.04.03 by God-Emperor Hiielor Aarboro;
Conclave of Exalted Clergy, Traditionalist. Founded: 2221.09.07 by Scientist Feron ka Jatek;
2206.02.03:
Oreb II seems to be a highly suitable location for a colony. However it lies very close to the Aliens in Deneb. The God-Emperor decided in his wisdom to first figure out how dangerous they are.
2206.07.02:
The aliens Contacted us. They call themself "The Commonwealth of Man":
Fanatic Militarist, Xenophobe.
Constitutional Dictatorship (Dictatorial, Nationalistic Zeal, Distinguished Admiralty
Hegemonic Imperialist AI Type.
They have the audacity to consider us "Inferior Aliens" and ask that we treat their elected - not divinely ordained - Leader with reverence.
2206.07.14:
And now they even dared to close their borders towards us!
2207.01.11:
The Pious Empire and this "Commonwealth of Man" are now Rivals. There can only be one true ruler of the Galaxy!
2208.05.01:
The will of the God Emperor is the will of the Divine. And his will right now is to colonize Oreb in his holy name!
The work on a first great Ark-ship has begun, wich will carry settlers to thier new homeworld.
2209.10.06:
The new Courier Network will allow our Priesthood to quickly travel between home, our first and all further colonies (Tradition).
2211.04.01:
The colony in Oreb has been established.
A 2nd Arkship has been ordered to be build. This time the target will be Fedeema.
2211.04.03:
A Faction has Formed. The "Ordered Society Coalition" want to make certain our Ordered Society will not crumble. They are less Pious then they could be, but they are no doubt Loyal to the God-Emperor. He smiles upon them.
2212.02.10:
In Tiblic to the east, at the Galactic Border we found a System overrun by these Crystalline beings. As well as Containing a Paradise World. It shall belong to us, once we have the strenght to claim it.
2212.05.06:
In Rantor North of Tiblic, we found the mother of all Crystalline entities. Figratively. And perhaps even literally?
2214.01.01:
Fedeema has bee colonised. The next target will be Maragdis.
2214.03.19:
In the Elderak System, we found a Primitive civilisation on the verge to become a FTL capable cilisation.
2214.08.06:
Our Survey teams revealed a Great danger to use today. In Elderak on a Planet the natives call "Scion", there is a Civilsiation on the verge of venturing into the stars.
If left unchecked, they could become a danger to us.
So it was decided: In the name of the one true Emperor, armies shall be raised that will carry our Warriors to this foreign world.
2215.11.08:
Our Armies have been raised. In order to allow our God-Emperor on better ruling that soon-to-be saved world of primitive fools, we formed our first sector. For the moment it only Consists of Oreb itself.
2215.12.07:
Our mighty Paladin orders have been send towards the Heathen in the Elderak System.
2216.02.02:
Our pursuit of Unity has paid off. Our priests have managed to ingrain a deep acceptance of the need for Expansion in our people. Queptillum Primum has been annointed as a "Consecrated World" by our wise Emperor.
2216.08.26:
We have been contacted by the Curator Alpha Enclave. While calling itself a "Order", the god they worship is pointless science. Still, they could be usefull for the Empire, if the God-Emperor deigns to bestow such a honor on them.
2216.10.21:
Our Liberation of Scion in teh Elderak System is complete. It is expected to take over 10 years before they all have accepted our Divinely Ordained Rule and their Role in our Empire.*
2217.12.19:
The God-Emperor bestowed a great gift unto the Curators today: They allowed them to help us with scientific research.**
2218.01.07:
The God-Emperor in his unlimited wisdom decided today, that all species shall be afforded full Citizenship and Military service in the Pious Mirovandia Empire. They will still be subject to serfdom if working Fields or Mines of course. But they shall not be disadvantaged in any other regard.
2219.02.27:
Oreb Prime has been declared a Consecrated World by our God-Emperor.
2220.12.03:
We must maintain our Supremacy against threats like these "Humans". Our priest caste will sift throug the oldest texts, to find proper guidance for our Shipwrights, Soldiers and Admirals.
2220.12.12:
The Commonwealth of Man has been expanding rapidly. 3 Colonies are now claimed by them. But our aquried colony of Scion is far superior to anything they might be able to get.
2221.09.07:
A new Faction has formed. The "Conclave of Exalted Clergy".
2222.06.30:
The humans jsut declared war on us. They will regret this decision!
All further building has been stopped, until we have dealt with these Upstarts.
2224.02.04:
The enemy has been split between trying to catch our Fleet as it made incrusions into their territory, and trying to capture Oreb. Now we managed a strike against thier Border post in Dalphene.
2225.04.30:
The Leagions that captured Scion have been moved to Oreb, now that their conquest has been pacified.
2228.10.29:
The Fleet has been using the large enemy space to it's adavange. Everytime Oreb is threathened, a short jump into a enemy system will draw the Fleet into a pursuit. As a result the Mining Networks on Scion have undergone massive upgrades, wich allows us to soon out-produce these savages.
2231.06.02:
Terrible News!
God-Emperor Hiielor Aarboro died at the Venerable age of 63 today. God-Empress Ziuus I has been named
2231.06.15:
Saint Ziuus Aarboro has been named Heir.
2231.08.20:
The time for feints and tricks is over. Now that we have reached the pinacle of our Navy, we will attack them head on in Oreb, as they deserve!
2232.03.01:
We lost the battle of Oreb. Our Warriors have failed the God-Empress, but she is willing to overlook this mistake - for now!

2200.01.01:
Under the rule of the All-Wise God Emperor Hiielor Aarboro, our quest to claim the stars has begun. From Queptillum Primum in the Quepta System, we shall spread the one true Faith acriss the universe. Many of our people will have to carry the bulk of the work on their shoulders, for the Glory of the whole. But there sacrifice is nothing next to his holyness.
2200.01.18:
Zius Aarboro has been named the new Saint of our People. People on Primum have already become jubilous. A sharp uptake in both Farm production and reproduction is expected.
2200.05.26:
Massive Storm have been found in the Atmospher of Envernum, one of the Gas Giants of the Quepta Systems. It will be Investigated.
2200.07.29:
The Storms on Envernum can reveal us much about the Material Universe. While not our primary concern, it can nonetheless be very beneficial to study it.
2201.05.01:
After only slightly more then 1 year, the Food reserves mandated by God-Emperor Hiielor I have been build. Future production will now be made avalible to everyone - even the serfs - to increase fertility through greater food security.
2201.09.12:
We found signs of a Ancient Precursor Civilisiation. It appears one "Vultraum" person was very large and they did not posess the the ability to breach the light barrier. Despite that, they still managed to create a interstallar empire.
2202.08.01:
The final System within Sensor range of Quepta has been surveyed. From now our brave colonists will have to dive into the Black Sea to tell us anything new. The God-Emperor commands to be brought knowledge about all the stars in the Universe
2202.11.02:
(Adopted Expansion Tradtion)
2202.12.23:
We found simple and passive dwellers in the Black Sea. Who they are and if they would be capable of accepting the Faith remains to be seen.
2203.02.13:
A large group of Crystalline Entities has been found to the the North in Dangal. The sheer size of their Fleet indicates that their power should rival anything our spaceport can muster. While they are agressive, they do not seem able to breach the light barrier.
2205.06.07:
We found Alien live capable of Speech and Reason. Thus far their language eludes us, but we did think we picked up the name of thier home System: Deneb*!
2205.11.17:
A network of Temples has been placed on Primum. These places of worship will allow even those who can not see him daily, to not loose Faith in his Holyness the God-Emperor.
Notes:
*That should totally be the Commonwealth of Man. And if it is around, so will be the United Nations of Sol. Truly a unique find. -
Another of the Mirovandia Empires. And the bane of my first Attempt (wich I kind of lost utterly):
http://www.herogames.com/forums/topic/95191-sl-democratic-mirovandia-mandate/
Species Description:
"Due to our short living times we Mirovandia were always a fractured people, yet mostly we managed to maintain the peace. That changed with the development of experimental Wormhole drives. Arguments lead to Conflict. Conflict to nuclear exchange. As a result our home was becomming uninhabitable quickly. At least at this time we reached a consensus: Each of the large Factions of the final war would take one of the ships to carry them to a new homeworld. Who is right will not be decided at our home, but in the depths of space. With whomever survived the ardous journey."
Species Traits:
Extremely Adaptive, Fleeting (short lived), Deviants (high Ethics Divergence)
Empire: Pious Mirovandia Empire
Ethics: Authoritarian (Slavery and Resettling) , Fanatic Spiritualist (-Unrest and Ethics Convergence
Authority: Imperial
Civics: Philosopher King (Ruler Skill Level), Imperial Cult (less Edict Cost. God Emperor)
Government Type: Divine Empire
What they say about the Disapora:
"The Mirovandian people are short lived and there is no escape for that truth. Once one accepts that truth, you realise that our Focus can not be in the here and now. It must be for the greater good: For the Empire. For the Afterlife. For our Faith. And most importantly: For the God-Emperor!"Gameplan: Conquest and Psionic Ascension. I Need to see if I can keep Authoritarian (kind of hard to maintain). Not quite sure how I will deal with the Leader Lifespan.

Blue Streak
The FBI uses the Blue Streak to wage war on low level crime. Originally a police officer who was in the proverbial wrong place at the wrong time (a laboratory with lots of breakable flasks and beakers containing unstable chemicals and an experimental radioactive power supply) Mike Strackzinski was hospitalised in the aftermath of the routine raid. He then had to be rescued by a hero group from the clutches of Dr Dissector who was planning to vivisect him to witness the interaction of the chemicals on his metabolism. Mike took six months to recover from the initial attack and then he was discovered to have 'superpowers'. He was then trained by the hero group and others to fully utilise his new powers. As the local and national media were aware of the policeman's predicament certain agencies were not able to get their hands on him and use him as an assassin or covert operative. The local hero team was also able to thwart his recruitment for this questionable line of work. But they did have good relations with the FBI and a little persuasion and he was moved into their sphere of activity. Mike can now react faster than a normal person and is capable of running at quite a speed. He also has martial arts training particularly takedowns, throws and disarms. The suit gives him some protection as he is not bulletproof.
The name comes from the Martin Lawrence film and his blue costume.
FYI, in the comic "legendary Woodsman" there is just such a charater. A policeman speedster:

How about this one?
Looks like a mixup of Robin/Nightwing and Captain America. Digging it. Will need to think about what to make out of it, however.

2264.10.01:
Our long relations with the Federation means we now have Advanced understanding of "Dynamic Ecomorphism". Wich means we are able to make all our worlds more habitable for different species.
2265.08.12:
Something incredibly inresting just happened: Our Bothers and Sisters in the Pious Empire and the Natfankan consider each other enimies. Thier Posturing has turned into a outright Rivalry!
2265.08.14:
The Photecian on Saiph just successfully Rebelled!
2265.09.01:
Unfortunatley teh Rebells on Saiph have decided to Associate themself with the Conding Compact, rather then their own People in the Allied Planets. So we proposed open warfare with the rebels to re-integrate them into the greater Photecian State.
2265.09.06:
The 1st Photecian Unifaction war has begung. This will also give us the Opportunity to hopefully gather some Salvage from the desatrous Battle of Saiph.
2267.05.15:
The Photencian now also declared war on the Saiph Rebbels. We have not been able to disloged the enemy spaceport thus far, but we will have to make a push to stand any chance of reclaiming the planet.
2267.07.11:
The space port has been defeated. The bombardmetn can now begin.
2268.03.03:
The Natfankan main Fleet and Main Army have entered Saiph. If we are the secure the planet, we have to strike now!
2268.04.21:
The planet has been captured just days before the Natfankan Fleet arrived in Orbit.
2268.04.23:
Saiph has finally joined with the Rest of the Photecian, in the "Allied Photecian Planets".
2268.05.17:
Another interesting development: The Remainder of the Tezekian Council and the Natfankan just signed a Defense pact. That puts the Natfankan into possibly conflict with both of the other two Evangelist Zealot Empires. It appears they no longer consider us their main concern and now want to decide who the "true" Faith is.
2265.09.05:
Another Election Cycle just begun and our Running Speaker has a clear lead on all other Political Parties. It seems also time to recount the Factions and their Leaders:
(All values with target support/current support):
The Popular Vote Comittee (Progessive) is lead by Governor X'folia ka Lumex. Thier has been falling slow, but certainly. (31%/50%)
The Council of Higher Learning (Technological) is leader by First Speaker Idrix ka Flumen. Their star has been rising ever since he was elected Leader. And the full cybernetisation of our Society will longterm only draw more people to their cause. (40%/20%)
The National Investment Network (Prosperity) has no easy position. Scientist ka Nive is doing his best, but there is little interst in his message of "Peace and Prosperity) consider the danger right at our border. (6%/8%). The Faction might disolve soon.
The Xeno Just Network (Xenoist) Faction under Governor Guferal has also seen increases in their Support ever since many Aliens have entered our space (23/18%)
There is a minor Xenophobe (0%/1%) and Militarist (0%/2%) population.
And absolutely 0 Authoritarian or Spiritualist interest.
2268.12.05:
As was expected, the First Speaker was re-elected.
2268.12.15:
It appears the Peace was short-lived. The Natfankan declared war on the Photecian wich draws the Alliance into conflict. We proposed a re-conqest of Sarpocchus into Photecian leadership and will again Liberation of the Lohendra as the alliance Wargoals. However Agifehndra will not be among the lucky systems this time around.
Our chances do not look great directly. But maybe one the Natfankans other enemies will be tricked into attacking them if we just can cause some serious damage?
2269.03.15:
The alliance Fleets are gathering in Ubaric Space. Meanwhile the Evandari from the North/west quadrant propose a reserach agreement with us.
2269.09.01:
The enemy Fleet revealed itself again. Once again they are going for Braddam Prime. However we will instead go for Sarpocchus.
2269.12.05:
Braddam Prime spaceport has again been lost.
2270.02.17:
The defenses of Braddam are allmost down. General ka Verim is once again prepared to defend the planet against the comming ground invasion.
2270.03.03:
The ground battle for Braddam has begun!
2270.04.27:
While they fought to the last man, the Force on Braddam were defeated and the General has died. The enemy fleet is now going for our Fleet.
2270.07.22:
Despite having barely scratched the Defenses, General Petals of Green decided to try assault teh Garission forces anyway. It would be at least one Victory against the anrushing Natfankan menace.
2270.09.18:
The enemy Fleet has reached Sarpocchus.
2270.11.06:
Sarpocchus has been secured. The fleet and Groundforces immediately try to return to Braddam, in hopes of recapturing it.
2270.12.16:
Unfortunately the Transports did not make it out in time.Summary: I am convinced now: I have lost.I do not know how the AI was able to declare war again after not even 8 years, but somehow it did. I do not have the forces or resources to even make a dent in their Fleet. None of the other has thus far shown any sing of attacking.
I guess as far as creating a story that others could use in a Star Hero setting, this is as far as I will go for this playthrough.
-
Summary: The war ended with a minor loss for our side. But at least it was only a minor one.

2260.02.03:
All the work and Resouces in the recents months has been invested in the Federation Fleet, whose command we currently hold. The hope is to gather enough Ships under our command that the Axis members realise that victory is possible and send their Fleets too
Meanwhile hte Siege of Braddam Prime has not Progressed in any way. While Vega Prime has been defoiliated of overly agressive growth that would hinder our Colony.
Only shimmer of hope right now is the Cybernetisation Project. It has been progressing well. We might have a mostly Cybernetisized People in only 29 Months.
2260.02.12:
NIN Leader and Braddam Governor Stirpes ka Yusto died today at the incredibly age of 92. We do not have the resources to spare for a Replacement.
2261.02.03:
Sociologist Verix ka Belima died at age 68 today. Phyllix ka Nive from the Survey Corp takes over.
2261.04.14:
The Vetirsius Assembly Agreed that Migration Pact. Hopefully one day we can reunite anyone that takes the option of Exodus with their Brothers.
2261.06.17:
The Vetirsius and Humans just formed the "Condign Concord", a Federation over in the North/East quadrant. One can only hope they find more people to invite and that their combine power will be enough to defend them agianst our Brothers and Sisters.
2261.10.02:
The Fedeartion Fleet has reached it's full size. Meanwhile a new, cheaper Corvette design has been proposed. We will be able to at least maximise the number of our Ships. Maybe afters they are build we will have enough resources to retrofit them with better power and shield systems.
2261.12.01:
Finally the Alliance Fleets are gathering at! There is yet hope for this war!
2261.12.10:
It seems the enemy is aware of that movement. The Natfankan main Fleet is retreating to their space. Only a token corvette is maintaining the siege of Braddam Prime.
2262.02.02.
Our 'ascension' is Complete. Nearly 100% of the population have been equipped with Basic Neural Implants and Cybernetic Suits. Everything is in place to convert the last holdouts - if they choose so - and any newborn citizen.
So different are we from our Original Forms, we call ourself the "Meta Mirovandia" now. Life expectancy is expected to increase by up to 40 Years. They are stronger, faster. Capable to Survive in the harshest climates, possibly even Tomb Worlds - unaided. All of our Leaders find new and exiting ways to optimise Adminstration using the Neural Interface Capacities.
This is dawn of a new Era. They said it could not be done, before the Diaspora. That it would be to difficulty to develop and deploy cybernetics on that scale. But we prooved them wrong. And with this, there is now a new idea Form. A step even further then mere Cybernetics: The uploading of enitre Brains into Robot bodies.
2262.02.14:
The siege of Braddam has ended an it is time to go on the Offensive. Our first target will be our last target: Wua. The armies from Braddam Prime that have spaceworthy equipment are joining our Fleet.
2262.08.07:
The Federation Fleets have gathered in the Wua System. The spaceport has been rebuild since our original attack, but it should fall quickly under the combine Federation might.
2262.09.23:
The Spaceport was quickly Dispatched and the Planet is now under siege. The enemy Fleet is holding Position in Saiph, one of the Photecian Worlds. They are neither attacking the planet, nor rushing to Defend Wua.
2263.03.16:
With the Orbital Defenses still being bombarded, General ka Verim decided to start the assault on the minimal Garission Forces anyway. To quote him "After the years of being station on Braddam, my people are itching to finally bring the fight to the enemy.
2263.04.23:
Even with thier Orbital Defenses, there was no way the Garission on Natfankan could have defeated 11 Armies of Meta-Mirovandia Soldiers.
2263.07.17:
The Federation Fleets are gathering in Saiph, with the enemy main Fleet still holding position in that System. Almost as if the enemy Admiral was just waiting to end this war in one great space battle.
Meanwhile a small enemy task fore has reached Wua, propably to recapture the Planet.
2263.12.26:
This will be remembered as a Black day for the Celestial Axis. Despite superior numbers, the enemy won the Battle of Siaph. All our Admirals are and ships are dead. While we inflicted heavy daamge to the enemy fleet, we only Inflicted light casualties. If the enemy were to simply return home for repairs, they could propably finish us once and for all.
2264.01.01:
The Grimm task of reforming our Fleet and trying to defeat the enenym once and for all falls onto Admiral X'folio ka Lizem.
2264.01.26:
The Ubaric decided to End the war now. We had to concede half of the Photecian State. When our defeat was grimm, this seeming Cowardice stings even harder. However this change does give us a reprieve to rebuild our fleets while at peace. And then hopefully defeat the Natfankan once and for all. -
To say the situation is grim, would be a understatement. I am not certain if I can win thus. Or even hang on until I got Cyborgs at least.
I did not use my Cheaper Living Standarts cost, wich was half the Egalitarian Bonus. Also should propably have gone Egalitarian/Fanatic Materialist with Meritocarcy from the start. It is fixed for the Empire setting, if I ever meet them again.
I know a lot about the Universe. But I wish I did not.
The Evangelist Zealot Natfankan are invading my Space. Only a AI bug has kept them from just Curb-Somping us. Granted, only a AI bug meant that our Fleets were not united too (we could have beat them all together) so it evens out:
In the North/east, there are our brotehrs and Sisters. Also Evangelist Zealots:
On the westside we have a 3rd Evangelsit Zealot Expanding. The Calotora will probably absorb the rest of the Tezekians and the other non-Spiritualsit powers in that Section of Space. And then come after us too
If the AI keeps growing like that, there will be a serious Danger of a Fallen Empire Awaneking.
-
One week has passed. Bolo of Earth, you are up next.
-
Summary: Established contact with the rest of the galaxy. Started the first step towards ascension. The Natrafkan declared war on the Federation.

The Pious Empire barred us from entering their Space. We have done likewise.
2241.10.25:
Our Groundforces have been moved to Braddam, while we are gathering the resource for a Spaceport in that System. Meanwhile there are 2 Federation Systems that have a strong Cosmozean Presence. We will help out allies to dislodge them.
2242.08.02:
3 Empires have Contacted us today:
"Fevarian Sacrosanct Foundation"
Xenophile, Fanatic Spiritualist
Theocratic Dictatorship (Dictorship, Free Haven, Polcie State)
Spiritualsit Seeker AI
"Caloctora Commonwealth"
Fanatic Authoritarian, Xenophobe
Plutocratic Oligarchy (Oligarchic, Environmentalist, Shadow Council)
"Holy Tezekian Theocracy"
Authoritarian, Fatanatic Spiritualist
Theocratic Dictatorship (Dictator, Cuththroat Politics, Police State)
2242.09.01:
Our Discovery Traditions keep revealing new Things to us. From now on we will "Boldy go where no Celestial Axis Members has gone before".
2242.10.01:
We have an Asteroid incomming on Uzun Prime. The Fleet has been redirected from it's thus far not very fruitfull endeavors against the Crystalline Entities in allied Space.
2242.11.01:
A Frotnier Outpost is being build in X-941 Singularity. The goal is to get the Curators into our Territory in hopes that soon we can hire one of their highly skileld Scientists
2243.03.16:
With help of the Ubaric Fleet, we managed to destroy the asteroid before it could do any harm. The windfall of the resources we got form the debirs allowed us start construction spaceports over all of our Planets. This should prevent any further Incidents of that kind, while also allowing us to increase our Fleet for the comming war.
2243.10.10:
Focus has been put on the long neglected Study of the Cosmozean Lifeforms.
2243.11.05:
A new Faction has been founded. The "Xeno Justice Network" under Admiral Phyllix ka Flumen. They are on average Content with our Rule. But our Addition of a Frontier post should make the highly Amiciable.
2243.12.01:
We found a very odd Pulsar in Exilson System, close to Vega Prime. It is emitting a light outside of the normally expected Spectra.
2244.02.20:
On one of the two Planets of Exilson, we found the a gigantic Skeleton. Far beyond what life on the planet should ever have developed.
2244.04.01:
The Lilaro Spaceport is now capable of producing Destroyer size ships.
2244.04.13:
The Frontier Outpost in X-941 Singularity has been completed.
2244.09.23:
Admiral ka Flumen just chased a "Ghost Fleet" on unknown Origin, but failed to make sensor contact. We only had a temporaty sensor contact as they passed by Braddam. Thier current whereabouts are unknown.
2245.11.22:
We renewed our original Reserach Agreement with the Ubaric for another 30 Years.
2246.08.23:
We somehow established Contact with another Curator Enclave - Lambda.
2247.10.01:
Progress in our Discovery Traditions means that our Planetary Survey Corps will now yield relevant amounts of scientific data as a side effect of their work.
2248.06.01:
The Addition of new Observatories to all Spaceports is causing some energy shortage through the mandate. Luckily the storage is still relatively full.
2248.12.02:
2 weaker Empires Contacted us today. Both appear to be latecomemrs on the Galactic Stage or have lost several planets before.
The "Human Democractic Commonwealth"
Fanatic Egalitarian, Xenophile
Representative Democracy (Democracy, Beacon of Liberty, Meritocracy)
Federation Builder AI.
The Combine of Oreb are minor Evangelist Zealots.
2248.12.08:
The Human Democratic Commonwealth has been given Federation Association Status with the Celestial Axis. A reserach pact has been offered to them too.
2249.05.06:
A new Election Cycle has begun. It appears there will be a change, as the Noxi ka Nive (60, Council of Higher Learning Leader) will become the new First Speaker.
2249.05.07:
Against most odds and predictions, Lephyte ka Yusto has been re-elected as First Speaker.
2249.06.13:
The surface of a Moon in Afcheshan was detected as being in permant Flux. Closer inspection revealed massive tectonic Activities that are reshaping the planet. We had to choose between just studying the planet furter, or making a precise "terraforming strike" in an attempt to halt the process and make the planet more habitable. We choose the later even if it only had 50% chance of success.
2249.06.18:
Unfortunately we failed at the Terraforming attempt. The window has been missed and it will be centuries before another will come to pass.
2250.04.21:
Lilarobious Primus Spaceport has been equipped with a new Destoryer manufactury. 2 Ships have already been ordered, with more to follow soon.
2250.07.10:
The Natfankan just declared war on the remainders of the original Lolehndra Government. The alliance decided not to intervene at this time.
2251.02.21:
After only 5 units, the Fleet production is being paused to gather the resource to upgrade mines in Braddam.
2251.04.18:
Data about the enemy fleet could be gathered via a Lolehndra Sensor Links. The enemy Fleet consists of 2 Cruisers, 18 Destroyers, 38 Corvettes. They have 2nd Generation Warpdrives, Sensors, Drives, Shields and 3rd Generation powersources. It is equipped exclusively with small and medium laser weaponry. Our destroyers have been re-desinged to better deal with such a enemy fleet.
2251.07.30:
Rolifehndra in Agifehndra was able to rebell and rejoin thier Empire after the first war. But Groundforces under General Lertrak Farkvierta have just re-captured it.
2251.08.13:
Considering the utter enemy Superiority, the Lolehndra Government gave in. They have been utterly conquered by the Natfankan. The Systems Wua, Shulmak (2 Planets), Agifehndra, Talan, and Ackmall together with their Entire Lolehndra Population have been earmarked for future Liberation Warfare.
2251.10.14:
Admiral Phyllix ka Flumen died today of old Age. He was a veteran of the Istaci War, the Pirate Encursion and the Founding Leader of the Xeno Justice Network.
Governor Guferal takes over as the XJN Leader. Admiral Daklenix takes over as leader of the Fleet. In both cases rumors that these new people were only proposed due to ka Flumen's Xenophile Leanings are being raised.
2252.04.15:
We met a very Ancient Empire to the East. The Kel-Azan Guardians. They consider themself "Holy Guardians" of holy places. As well as "the choosen people of the Universe". Considering that we object to that kind of supersition, we are not off to a good start.
2252.09.03:
If one walks the path of the Discovery Tradition, eventually ones people develop a high "Faith in Science", making it a almost-religion. We do not thing we have anything left to gain from exploring that sociological path.
2252.11.01:
With the completion of the Discovery Tradition, there is a interesting choice for us. The Flesh of the Mirovandian people was always weak. But we might be able to counter that with Cybernetics. But before we can do so, we need to finish our work on the Droid technology. Additional resources have been granted to the Engineering Science Divisions.
2253.07.04:
We have aquired the Droid Technology. At first this means a upgrade for all of our Robots. But secondly it means finally the first step on the path went for 153 years ago: Cybernetisation.
Equipping our enitre population with those implants will be a serious task. Carefull Estimates go as high as 214 months. We will of course do our best to shorten that time....
2254.04.14:
The Natfankan just declared war on teh Celestial Axis. We proposed the prepared Liberation of the Lohendra as the alliance Wargoals.
2254.05.01:
New Destroyers have been ordered from Lilaro Spaceport.
2254.10.24:
The Ubaric fleet tried to engage the 2nd Husk Squadron on their own. They were annihilated as a result.
2254.02.04:
We will have issues engaging the enemy Fleet in a open battle. However while their Fleet is vast, thier Shipyards are vulenrable. The First target of our Strike will be the Wua System.
2255.06.02:
The "Vetirsius Assembly" Contacted us today:
Fanatic Egalitarian/Materialist
Direct Democracy (Environmentalist, Functional Architecture, Beacon of Liberty).
Federation Builder AI type.
Normally we would be able to quite nicely join Forces. However we are currently at war. And they are at war with our "Pious" brotehrs and sisters. While they have the Human Commonwealth on their side, it looks rather grim for them.
2255.07.07:
We took inacceptably high casualties, trying to destroy the spaceport in Wua. Our fleet is now crippeled, but not defeated. We had to quickly retreat to friendly territory for repairs.
2255.08.11:
Our Fleet was engaged and Destroyed before it could leave the Wua System. Admiral Dakalenex has been killed in Action.
Admiral Lephyte ka Pruina takes over reforming the Fleet with all due Haste.
2255.09.11:
The enemy Fleet has been spotted on thier way through Ubaric Territory. They are most likely going for Braddam, our fleet gathering point.
General Xanova ka Verim taks control of our ground forces in preparation for the likely soon happening siege. The Fleet is retreating for Lilaro, as there is no way they can defeat such a enemy armada.
2256.03.10:
Braddam Spaceport has been destroyed. Recruitment of defensive armies is still underway.
2256.06.19:
Braddams Planetary defense have been stripped away. The planet is ready for the enemy ground invasion.
2256.08.03:
The assault on Braddam is just not happening. It appears the enemy general is unwilling to attack planet so full of Armies, while the Admiral refuses to pick another target. If that continues, the alliance might have the breathing room it needs to rebuild our fleets.
2256.12.21:
Apparently we missed a war to the east. The two local powers - Tezekians and Caloctora had been at war. The Tezekians lost the war, and a alrge part of thier Territory.
Meanwhile the Humans proposed a Migration treaty. We accepted.
2257.08.04:
Between various Salvage and Technical Exchange operations, Blue Spectrum lasers have been developed. The fleet is redeployed with this new armor-shredding weaponry.
2257.10.02:
Recent Advancements in Selective De-Foliants allow us to make large parts of Vega settleable. The local Ludremex has some experience with this kind of task and has been named goernor of Vega.
2257.10.07:
First Speaker Lephyte ka Yusto has died in office. Noxi ka Nive of the CHL seems the likely Candidate. However he is already extremely old.
2258.01.06:
First Speaker Noxi ka Nive has been elected.
2258.03.23:
Vistophane ka Flumen found a Lifepod in decaying orbit around a black hole. It is too far gone to salvage. But the encoutre has made him quite Paranoid.
2258.06.05:
Our First Speaker again died in Office. This marks the shortest tenure thus far - not even 5 full Months.
2258.06.06:
Idrix ka Flumen is now the Leader of the CHL. And most likely Candidate over Guferal from the XJN.
2258.07.02:
Due to our long history in the Celestial Axis means our society as a whole has developed a deeper understanding of Diplomacy.
2258.09.05:
Idrix ka Flumen has been elected as First Speaker
2259.02.24:
Our borthers and sisters were quite successfull in their conquest of the Vetirsius/Human alliance. The war is over and the Vetirsius lost most of their territory.

Master Zheng was already a wise man and mundane Martial Artist Teacher when he aquired his ice powers. That Viper even captured him was pure coincidence: They were looking for a whole batch of "Guinea Pigs" when they flooded a local supermarket with Knockout gas and abducted everyone inside.
No mater how skilled, even a martial artist teacher can not overcome sleeping gas or the restraints on a experiementation table.
And thus he was experiemented on and developed his ice powers. Luckily the abduction was executed rather sloppily and thus he and the others were rescued by heroes. In the following months he noticed a certain "Synergy" between his martial arts expertise and his ice powers: He could channel his ice power using basic Ki/Chacra techniques and letting them flow out of his hands instead impact force. In essence he learned how to cause damage without exerting physical force on his adversaries. Having a supercooled nervous system, his reaction times also increase drastically.
Alas, he knew that his time to become a hero had long passed. Even with the increases he was simply to old "for the lifestyle of a hero". So instead he took to the one thing he had learned the very mundane way: Teaching.
His school now includes both conventional Martial Arts training - and asian wisdom. As well as training with superpowers - and asian wisdom.
He is the Ice Master, Master Zheng or the Kice-Artist for people that are looking from some training to become a hero - and of course some asian wisdom as side dish.
