The section in wich Federation is situated, plus large parts of the Natrafkan:

Here the South/east qudrant plus our Brothers

And that one empire from the NW Quadrant:

Summary: Got my first Alien Leader. Also Found one of the other Empires - the Fanatic Spiritualsit guys.

2236.02.01:
The Peacetreaties of the 2236 saw massive changes to Territory. The Natfankan count a total of 12 Planets.
The Lohendra might be conquered, but the popuation is highly Unrestfull with the occupation.
right now our Military is similar in size to the Netfankan. However they had casualties from the war. But we have not yet build the Spaceports on any of our colonies. And there is still the Planet in Uzon to aquire.

2236.03.02:
Planetologists under Verix ka Belima figured out the Basics of Subterranean Colonisation. That will open up new spaces to build on almost any of our Planets.

2236.09-07:
On Lobbying of hte Council of Higher Learning, Research pacts have been signed with all 3 minor Nations.

2236.11.02:
Thanks to our Polytechnic Education (Tradition), all our Leaders will now be much more skilled.

2237.01.03:
Both Photecian States agreed to Mutual Defense pacts, over the current agreements. That measn they will also defend us if attacked.

2237.01.10:
Diplomatic ties between the Photecian States and the Ubaric as also increasing.

2237.03.01:
The colonisation of Uzun Prime is being planned. The building of the colonyship is underway.

2237.03.02:
Our recent expansions of the Stellar Mining networks seems to have caused the birth of Space Piracy. Our battle hardened Fleet will have to deal with the "Brotherhood of the Void".

2237.06.07:
The Ubaric just formed the "Celestial Axis" and Invited teh Allied Photecian States into it. We asked for Association Status with the new Federation, wich was quickly Granted.

2237.06.20:
Upon our request, we have joined the Celestial Axis. The only requirement was that we had to outlaw unrestricted wars of agression.

2237.07.06:
Thanks to placing thier have way to cloose to Lilaro, the Pirate base has already been destroyed.

2237.09.01:
With the remaining free Lohendra now having Association Status, it was finally time to declare our Rivalry on the Natfankan.
Another interesting report: Apparently the Conquered Lohendra in Aghifenhda successfully rebelled and Rejoined the larger Government.

2237.12.02:
The 2nd Photecian Nation was invited into our Federation.

We also made contact with another Empire from the North/East Quadrant.
The "Evandari Citizen Coalition":
Fanatic Militarist, Materialist
Citizen Stratocracy (Oligarchic, Efficient Bureaucracy, Citizen Service)
Ruthless Capitalist AI

2238.12.13:
We had almost feared our Original findings about the Cybrex was only conincidence, until our Survey corps found the ruins of thier base in Azahleh. However as with the Sphere, we lack a sufficiently skilled scientist to lead the expidition.

2239.02.06:
Using the Influence she aquired from fullfilling his Space Miner Mandate, First Speaker Lephyte ka Yusto decided on a minor reformation of our Civics. If we are to reach our Goal, we have to become a Meritocracy (better Leaders).

2239.10.01:
The colony in Uzun has been established. The first Ubaric Governor Guferal has been ordered to watch over the buildup

2239.06.05:
Scientist Cytophane ka Jatek died while working on the new Destroyer class ships and shipyards. Industrial Expert Azuli ka Pinnate takes over.

2240.10.03:
We finally found the one thing we have been searching for: Our Brothers and Sisters.
The "Pious Mirovandian Empire"
Collectivist, Fanatic Spiritualist
Divine Empire (Imperial, Philosopher King, Imperial Cult)
Evangelist Zealot AI Type.
During the Chism they were the Faaction believed the best way to deal with our Mortaility was to blindly accept it and work towards having a good afterlife. They consider the whole they Consider the contuniation of their Empire and their Faith to be higher goods then Individual Liberty.
They are situated on the Eastern North/South Border. Thier power is quite Frankly Overwhelming and we can not allow them to ally with the Natfankan. We must strike soon.

Some Images.

This is the Mirovandia Species:

This is how the space looked early while at peace:

And this is what it looks after the 2238 Peace Treaties:

Summary: The first 38 Years. A Epic story of Peace while preparing for War. All while a monster is growing right next to us.

2200.01.01.:
After our long journey, we will again walk amongst the stars. We are firmly established on Lilarobius Primus in the Lilaro System.
A deep scan of our home system has been ordered.

2200.09.14:
The survey of Lilaro is completed. We found only minimal resources. The Gas Giant Bexxor has anomaly - a moon doomed to crash into it's primary. However it is currently no priority to look at that.
We found 3 habitable Systems within simple jump distance:
Uzun: Destert (23)
Saonus: Arid (24)
Mesteros: Arid (16), Arid (13)
A deep survey of all the habitable planets has been ordered. Especially Saonus seems highly promising.

2201.03.15:
We found Cosmozeans: A species of Cristalline Entities. They are highly agressive and will have to be avoided.

2201.03.29:
Saonus turned out to be a mixed bag: It has a weak Magentic Field and very poor mineral deposits. Otherwise it is pretty decent, however.

2201.05.09:
A habitable World Survey has been initiate. The goal is to catalogue alien life across numerous habitats.

2201.06.23:
We discovered artifacts of a Alien Precursor Civilisation in Uzun. The Cybrex were a machine race that existied 500,000 years ago. Apparently they went on a "kill all Organics" spree for reasons unknown.
The possible colony in Uzun is unfortunately most inaccesible, due to tileblockers.


2201.07.08:
Another possible Colonyworld ahs been found in Braddam (Arid, 24).

2201.12.04:
Another Cosmozean Species has been found. These "Space Amobeas" see as agressive as the cristalline Entities.

2202.06.06:
In Lessim to the south/galactic border we found a Inhabited Space Station. Every indication is that they are self-sufficient.

2202.07.28:
A third Cosmozean has been found. These "Space Whales" are however peacefull, unlike the previous species.

2202.10.01:
We have a important choice to make, into wich direction our Society will develop. Both Discovery and Expansion Tradition are avalible for us. We decided for Expansion.

2203.04.12:
The space station contacted us. They call themself "The Artisan Troupe".

2203.04.26:
A political Faction has gained Traction. The Populat Vote Comitee under their leader Scientist Lephyte ka Viven a dedicated for the Personal Freedoms of every citzen. And they are quite happy with the Status Quo.

2204.01.12:
A colonyship has been ordered from the Lilaro Shipyards. It's destination is Saonus. While poor in minerals, the planet has exception food reserves that will fuel the growth of future colonies.

2204.08.13:
We found a intelligent Spacefaring Civilsiation. They will likely be the to North/East of us.

2204.09.20:
We found thier home System. They have a clear preference for Tropical Planets, wich should not put them at odds with us.

2205.01.12:
The Colonship Viva Nevo has left Drydock. However it's target has been changed for Braddam. In all likelyhood there will be a border conflict with the new Species soon.

2205.05.02:
The Ubaric League contacted us already.
Egalitarian, Xenophile, Pacifist;
Moral Democracy (Demoractic, Meritocracy,  Agraian Idyll). We should be able to get along with them swimmingly.
Federation Builder AI type.

2205.06.21:
The colonyship in Braddam has touched down. It will take approximately 25 months before the colony will be productive.

2205.08.04:
The the Ubaric homeworld of Ubaria, we finally finished our Habitable world survey.

2205.10.26:
We found a giant among the stars. The Automated Dreadnought is patroling the Hokaja System on the souther galactic Border. It does not answer to hails.

2206.02.01:
Massive Farming and Infrastructur Subzidies have been issues on Lilarobius. The goal is to have the Farming infrastructure able to support both it and the growing colonies.

2206.06.01:
The rules for Orbital Bombardment have been made more strict. This will hopefully aid in establishing some for of agreement with the Ubaric League.

2206.07.12:
We made contact with another spacefaring empire.

2207.03.28:
Yet another "Cosmozean Species": Automated Mining Drones have been found. They are agressive as well.

2207.05.04:
The "Citizen Commonwealth of Istaci" contacted us.
Egalitarian, Fanatic Materialist.
Citizen Republic (Democractic, Mining Guilds, Citizen Service)
Honorbound Warrior AI.

We are off to a terrible start, considering the Ubaric people as comparision.

2207.07.01:
Braddam Prime has been Established.

2207.10.25:
We found no Primary world near the Automated Dreadnought. However in Vega we found a Huge (25) Tropical World. Ubaric settlers might be intersted in it.


2208.02.28:
A "flotilla" of Space Amobeas just jumped into Lilaro. They are attacking the mining stations near their entry point. Our fleet is not nearly strong enough to engage them.

2208.05.14:
As suddenly as they appeared, the Amobea left. Likely they were on thier hunt for Space Whales.

2208.09.07:
We found another Habitat Station in the X-941 Singularity System, north of the Istaci.

2208.11.01:
Mining was always a important topic on the First Speakers Agenda. Accordingly the mining stations in Lilaro are being rebuild.

2209.01.03:
With the "Void Clouds", a 5th Cosmozean Species has been found.

2209.07.10:
The habitat in X-941 Sigularity contacted us. They call thesmelf "The Curators". Establshed Eons ago to "prevent anoter Galactic Dark Age". They failed, evidently and only few of their order are left. However those are willing to help us - for a price.

2209.08.11:
Just the 2nd System east of the Sigma Curators we found another habitat station.

2209.12.10:
We encountered yet another spacefaring empire to the East.

2210.01.01:
Our first Election since going back into Space is underway. Euphyte ka Viven is likely to be reconfirmed.

2201.07.10:
The Enclave contacted us. They call themself "Xura Corp", a group of Traders. We traded large Quantities of Energy for the Minerals we will need for out next colony ship.

2210.11.04:
Two empires from the east contacted us nearly Simulatnously.
Lohendra Interplanetary Union:
Xenophile, Fanatic Militarist
Enlightened Dictatorship (Dictatorial, Philosopher King, Nationalist Zeal
Hegemonic Imperialist AI type.

Union of Natfankan Dominions.
Egalitation, Xenophobe, Spiritualist
Theocratic Republic (Democratic, Functional Architecture, Environmentalist)
Evangelsit Zealot AI type.

While teh Lohendra are a empire like any other, the Natfankan are far more advanced then everyone else we found this far. And they are bound to be highly agressive in the Evangelizing Zeal.

2210.11.05:
We pledged a Guarantee of Independance to the Ubaric League. This should finally increase our relations to the point where they are willing to engage in active Diplomacy.

2210.11.06:
A new Faction has formed. The "Council of Higher Learning" with it's Leader the First Speaker are Technologist. And they are not happy with how things have been progressing thus far.They consider us to be both Backwars technologically and bemoan the lack of Research agreements with other Empires.

2211.01.05:
Work on our second colonyship has begun.

2211.05.08:
It appears the other Empires now also all have or at least send thier ship underway for thier 1st Colony.

2211.11.02:
A 3rd Faction has formed. The "National Investment Network" under Governor Stirpes ka Yusto. Their Focus is inner prosperity and peace. They are happy that we have not fought wars yet, but wish for more Energy in Storage and access to a strategic Resource.

2212.01.05:
The Colonyship Viva Helon has left port. Saonus will finally be colonised.

2212.04.29:
Our defense of the Ubaric is now Mutual. A Defense pact has replaced the "Guarantee of Independance.

2212.04.30:
A 10 year Research Agreement has been signed with the Ubaric.

2212.09.14:
As before in Lilaro, Infrastructure projecs have been started in Braddam. The colony had already grown to the points where it needed a Planetary Adminsitration anyway.

2213.10.12:
The Museum of Exobiology - founded in response to the completion of the Habitable World Survey - asked us to procure alien animal specimens. Unfortunately we do not have the resources to spare.

2214.05.01:
Sanous Prime has been established. Glabu ka Hiel has been hired to Govern Saonus.

2214.06.12:
The Ubaric porpose a Migration Treaty. We agreed.

2215.08.01:
We explored the entire galaxy south of the Natfankan. We found no further empires that might in fighting them.

2216.12.19:
At the  Gargantua Blackhole North of the Natfankan Space, we found the Sphere. Giant. Black. Enigmatic and apparently totally oblivious of us. The Curators call it "the infinite Calcualtor."

2217.04.14:
The Istaci just declared the Ubaric thier Rival. Such a threat will not stay unanswered.

2218.07.30:
The "Constant Calculator" just became active. It is sending a signale - straight into the black hole. That is a opening we might be able to exploit to contact or subvert it. Euphyte ka Lizem is on his way.

2218.10.22:
The Planetary Administration on Sanous Prime has been finished. However the opening ceremony was overshadowed by Reports that Governor Glabu ka Hiel has taken to Drug Abuse.

2219.04.19:
On the way towards the Sphere we found yet another Enclave, making that the 3rd Enclave in that rough part of the Universe.

2220.02.25:
The new Enclave Identified itself as the "Riggan Commerce Exchange".

2220.04.01:
Another Election Cycle has begun.  The First Speaker is likely to get re-elected, but all of the Candidates are so old it is unlikely they survive a full Term in Office.

2220.06.04:
After 20 years it appears our Expansion Tradition is completed (+2 Core worlds). We have aquired the Perk of Technological Ascendancy.

2220.07.01:
The first Speaker has been re-elected at the age of 64.

2220.08.15:
We managed to hack our way into the Sphere. It is old. Older then even the Curators and everything indicates it has been scanning the Black Hole for the entirety of it's existence. We decided the best course of Action would be to try to hack it. But non of our Scientist would be up for the task.

2221.01.17:
The Governor Glabu Ka Hiel our first leader died since Re-entering the space age. Noxi ka Nive has stepped up to his post.

2221.07.20:
We used the Riggan Enclave to get the Materials for our next Colony Ship. It is destined for Vega, on the Southern Galactic Border. A Tropical Planet of extreme Natural Beauty, that the Ubric Settlers will likely Flock to.

2221.08.01:
First Speaker Euphyte ka Viven has died at the old age of 65. The young Partile Expert ka Yusto is likely to replace him.

2221.11.05:
Engineers under Rizta ka Verim finsihed work on Primitive Robot pops. Units will be placed on every colony. The Council of Higher learning declared that they want at sizeable Robot population to take root within the Mandate.

2222.05.02:
The Resaerch Agreement with teh Ubaric ran out. A new 30 year one with Shared Sensor Data has been proposed. It was accepted.

2223.05.08:
Our Return to Bexxor in Lilaro was timely. While the preparations took likely millions of years, the event is happening now - and soon. We will be there to observe the Event.

2223.05.16:
The Establishment of the Colony in Vega has begun. Thanks to our advancements, teh process is expected to only take 17 Months. Meawhile we lost another scientist to old age.

2224.10.01:
Vega Prime has been Colonised. Intense Marketing Campaigns have been started to atract Ubaric Colonists.

2225.02.03:
We again stand at a crossroad to decide the Future of our Nation. The path seems obvious: Discovery!

2225.06.25:
The Istaci just declared war on the Ubaric. We were drawn into the conflict as well. The NIN is highly annoyed by this end of peace.
Their Wargoals are to conquer the Ubaric League space, and put Lilaro under a puppet Government.
Should we win, thier Entire Empire will be split and put under puppet Governments of us both.

2225.12.01:
The Istaci 1st Starfleet is attacking Ubaric Space. It appears our Fleets would be about evenly matched. We will follow the Ubaric lead.

2226.03.27:
Istaci and Natfankan have signed a non-Agression Pact. We singed one with the Lolehndar.

2226.08.27:
Our alliance is laying siege to the Istacci Plaent Noilan in Asmore.

2227.02.10:
The battle over Noilan raged for hours. In the end our Fleet had to retreat, but not before inflicting large casualties to Istaci Fleet. The comming months will require heroes in the Shipyards, not the battlefield.

2227.10.15:
With a large portion of the Fleet rstored, we are one again joining force with the Ubaric Fleet.

2229.01.05:
Another battle in Asmore. Another close victory for the enemy.

2229.11.14:
Apparently we missed that the Natfankan attacekd the Lohendra.

2230.08.03:
As part of our Discovery Traditions, we now made a Science Division. That will make the Hiring of Scientist a whole lot cheaper.

2230.10.16:
During this war, almost half a dozen major Governors and Scientists died. However they did die of old age, wich should be considered a positive fact for a war.


2231.10.19:
The Fleet has reached it's maximum size of 24 unity. We should now surpass the enemy Fleet in combat power.

2232.02.01:
The First Speaker has been re-elected.

2232.09.03:
The Natfankan now Guarantee the idependance of the Istaci.

2232.10.03:
The enemy Fleet was chased all the way to thier home System and Annihilated. However half the Fleet was destroyed in the Battle.

2233.03.14:
With our small Fleet, Light Bombardment takes to long. The policy that restricted the use Limited Bombardment was removed.

2233.10.07:
After intense Bombardment, the Assault on Ultan has begun.

2233.12.03:
It was a long and Bloddy figth, but in the end our Forces prevailed. However now our Armies are hard pressed to keep the peace on the Occupied world.

2235.11.02:
Noilan has been captured as well.

2235.11.05:
We have won the war. All 4 planets have been Liberated. The names of the two Istaci States is yet to be decided.

2235.11.08:
The two Governmetns have formed.
The Confedeartion of Ultan is our splinter:
Fanatic Egalitarian, Materialist
Direct Democracy (Democratic, Idealistic Foundation, Meritocracy)
Federation Builder AI

Allied Photecian* Planets are under Ubaric protection:
Egalitarian, Xenophile, Pacifist
Irenic Bureaucracy (Oligarchic, Agrarian Idyll, Efficient Bureaucracy)
Federation Builder AI.
Still has teh original Spaceport.

*Species name is Photecian. Istaci was teh home planet name).

2235.11.16:
A Migration Treaty and a 10 Year Reserach Treaty has been singed with our Photecian Splinter.

2235.12.08:
The Ubaric rescidned thier Protection of the Allied Planets. We will Guarantee it henceforth.

2236.01.06:
The Lolehndar lost thier war against the Natfankan and lost all but their youngest colony.

So Stellaris 1.5 is out and I decided to do something intersting:

One species. Several possible Government. I created them all beforehand and set them to "maybe spawn".

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: Democratic Mirovandia Mandate

Ethics: Fanatic Egalitarian, Materialist

Authority: Democractic

Civics: Technocracy, Idealistic Foundation

Gameplan: Robot Ascension to get over the limited lifetime and Deviants. Extremely adaptive will help with that considerably.

I know nothing of the game Transistor, or the character Red.  So I hope you're not going to be irritated if I completely ignore the established character mentioned and instead use the image to create a new character (which, I believe, is the premise of this thread anyway).

Making your own interpreations of what you see is indeed the purpose of this Thread. Interesting take. And no, I had no idea about that name

Second pic doesn't look much the same as the others.

2nd Pic is a official one. The others are Deviant Art Interpretations.

Yeah. Looks like she really let herself go.

Well, she is fond a specific Pizza Parlor in town. Would have to look again what it was named and what she usually orders.

This is Red, the Mute Singer and the Protagnist of the game Transistor. But what will you make of these aspects of her story?

Here is a sample of her singing, if it helps:

I'd suggest that, if the original poster of the picture hasn't made a judgement within 2-3 weeks of posting the picture, someone should post in the thread for the OP to make his/her call on who is the winner.  If no response within, say, 3 more days, then the posting with the most "Likes" should be declared the winner.

(shrug)  Whichever one was posted first, maybe? 

 

If anybody has a better idea, they're more than welcome to suggest it.  The above was just what I could come up with off the top of my head.

I am counting:

Steirica/Baron Brainstar: 0 likes

wcw4391/Althalicos: 2 Likes.

Me/Big Al: 3 likes.

So I guess that makes me the next poster. And I actually got somehing this time.

I feel for Elan. There's a lot of conditions to keep track of...

And often two start with the same letter(s) too.

So who won this here thing?

As usual we have no idea, because the original poster was not here for a while to decide. We realy need a solution for this scenario, it happens to often.

2289.01.26:
The Median Drones awoken again, this time with a suicidal Streak. They rammed themself directly into the planet in an obvious attempt to destroy themself. Often trying again if their first attempt failed. We hope we can figure out what is wrong with them.

2289.04.02:
Lomenium has been Annexed, while the other Colony in the system is still being build up.

2289.10.01:
Peya Prime has been established.    

2290.01.26:
While the bulk of the drones is currently not findable, we did manage to analyse the wreck. This is the first breakthrough in our atempts to reverse engineer the drones.

2290.06.22:
Thradd will become the staging ground of our Future Opeartions against the Tzynn. The huge planet is earmarked for a later Terraforming into a Gaia class world.

2290.12.16:
Ash Hawthorn has been transferred to the Rakaron Sector.

2291.01.26:
The Median drones seem to be each of entirely unique design. Once that was established one thing stood out: A few of the parts are actually identical where they should not. Not only are they identical, but of totally different - and more recent - then the rest of the drones. Could it be that someone did the impossible and tampered with these indestructible drones?
The Examination continues.

2291.02.24:
The Mandasura finished their war with the Ix'Idar. Only a minor shift of territory took place.

2291.03.23:
The Jehetma just declare they would defend the Hahn-Mur's Independance. We decided to up them one, by making them our protectorate. It seems likely that conflict will arise along that border.

2291.07.01:
The UNS and Dabbax just formed a Federation called "the Sol Pact". We requested to join as well.

2291.07.07:
We have joined the Sol Pact, consisting of the following Governments:
United Nations of Sol (Human)
Dabbax Confederacy (Dabbax)
Mahog Union (Mahogany)
Independant Mandasura Nation (Mandasura)

2291.08.05:
30 year research treaties have been signed with all Federation Members

2292.01.08:
A Election Cycle has begun.

2292.01.26:
The foreign parts in the Median Drones turned out to be one way transmitters, apparently used to keep tabs on the drones. As if they have been tracked.

2292.04.08:
Basil Bloom has been reconfirmed as Leader of our Nation yet again.

2292.04.13:
The order to build Defensive Stations in Thradd has been given. A full "Death Blossom" of 7 Stations with FTL Trap, minefields and overlapping firing arcs has been ordered.

2292.04.15:
The Tzynn just signed a Defense pact with the Meko'Nass pacifists. Basil Bloom introduces the noting to "attack them now before it is too late".
The goals is to Liberate the Southern Systems: Tronde, Sal'Tzynn, Osseq and Tedis and put them under a new Tzynn or Ix'idar Government, formed with help of the UNS.

2292.04.27:
The 3rd War against the Tzynn has officially begun. Due to the incomplete Defense pact relations, the Jehetma have not been drawn into the conflict.

2292.07.05:
The Fleet has engaged the enemy in Osseq.

2292.12.04:
Osseq has been secured. The next Target will be the Port in Sal'Tzynn itself.

2293.01.26:
We found out who modified the Drones: Pirates.
Seeing that they were designed to aid colony buildup, they were tagged and left adrift to "fatten up" any colony that might appear below. Our Military Analysts predict the pirates will strike within 2 years. Forced to decide between letting them come, sending the drones against them or dismantle the drones we decided to let them come.

2293.05.28:
The Tzynn Fleet has reacted to our Incursion into their Capitol System. A fleet of 106 Mahog Destroyers will meet 2 Cruisers, 46 Destroyers and 55 Corvettes of the Tzynn in battle.
4 Spaceports are fully ready to compensate for battle losses, with 2 more in Peya being worked on.

2293.08.03:
Thanks to superior numbers and design, our Fleet was Victorius in Sal'Tzynn. The Zynn Fleet as annihilated, with only 9 Destroyers lost due to battle damage.

2293.09.03:
Engineers under Heath Garland managed the finish the groundwork for new Cruiser class hulls. They are now setting their sights onto a even bigger shipclass - Battleships. As no significant losses have been suffered thus far, our fleet Spaceports are ordered to upgrade with the new construction and support capacities.

2293.09.16:
The Mediratus Class Cruiser design has been finalized.

2294.01.27:
Sal'Tzynn has been conquered.

2294.09.22:
Two Frontier Outposts south of the Target Systems have been destroyed. Now the fleet is on it's way to Media, to deal with the Incomming Pirate raid.

2295.01.04:
A new Level of Womrhole Generation Refinement has been finished.

2295.02.07:
The showdown with the Pirates that kept track of the Median Drones has begun.

2295.06.07:
The Pirate fleet was barely worthy of our attention. It was defeated by the spaceport, while the Fleet was undergoing refits and the first 4 Crusiers have reached it. The Fleet is now on it's way back to the frontlines.

2296.02.01:
Tronde had thus far not been conquered. Our fleet will rectify that.

2296.06.02:
Tronde has been Conquered. Tediss is the next target of our fleet.

2296.06.20:
Peya Prime has reached the next step in Colonial development.

2296.11.13:
Thradd has been Terraformed into a Tropical World. However the plan is to wait further, until we have the nessesary technology to make it a fully Gaia class world.

2296.12.19:
Tediss has been Secured. However the enemy alliance is still not willing to surrender. The next target will be Nishpan.

2297.10.26:
Cursa has been caputred. The enemy is still not giving up.

2297.10.30:
Earthquakes have Rocked Nunus Prime. Apparently several tunnels became unstable without the Subterraneans to maintain them.

2298.01.02:
Heath Garland developed a new Generation of combat ships - battleships. Work on new Spaceports that can manufacture this Shipclass effectively has begun.

2298.06.18:
The 1st Starfleet of the Meko'Nass Divine Order has been found in Romonox. They are likely preparing a liberation strike to the local planet.

2298.09.06:
The Meko'Nass Fleet has been driven back. Minimum Mahog casualities, severe Meko'Nass ones. The Fleet is moving into Dabbax Territory for repairs.

2298.11.09:
The Tzynn surredered. This is the best possible outcome. The "Mandate of Osseq" has formed.

2298.12.01:
The Tzynn Splinter Government has been offered Federation Association Status with the Sol Pact.

2299.02.29:
The Mandate of Osseq agreed to become our Vassal.

2299.06.02:
Geneticists under Jasmine Bloom have developed Vitality Booster technology, they are now looking into Selected Linegages.

2300.08.01:
It appears the Meko'nass/Jehetma Alliance has broken. Liberation war against the eastern Jehetma Empire has been proposed. Edellimar, Josq Fomat, Jompron, Perqim will be put under a new Government that will Operate under Human assistance.

2300.08.04:
The Mahog/Jehetma Conflict has begun. We forgot the Wir Thosk System in our Wargoal planning. But we will still attack and secture the System.

2301.04.28:
Wir Thosk has been captured.

2302.07.08:
Basil Bloom has been re-confiremd as our leader.

2303.07.06:
Siccon has been captured, but the Jehetma Fleet makes a counter-assault in Perqim.

2304.07.14:
The Integration of the Huvidu-Zaan Order has begun. It is expected to take 152 Months or about 13 Years.

2305.04.17:
The collectivist Jehemta Regime relented. The Commonwealth of Edellimar has been formed.

And stay out!

Welp, so much for the usual Charlie Foxtrot.

Interestingly there is a very simple magic solution: Find Item. If they home in on Mr. Greenhilts sword, they will at least get into the general direction.

Twins are there to be evil and take your place.

Clowns are always evil.

If twins are always inverted and clows are always evil, what would clown twins be like?

Both Good? Both Evil? One each? Neither?

Summary: Further expansion. Needed to start the war against the Tzynn early, but it is going rather well.

Looks like Roy did not Brace for this Impact.

I got a "magical Braniac" vibe from this. Also reminds me of 2 Babylon 5 Characters: The First One and the Soul Hunters.

The Alrahomi were a highly developed species on the fast track to ascend to energy beings. Unfortunately the impending death of physical bodies atracted a being calling itself "The Preserver". It was dedicated to preserving any species it felt was going to die. And it was not asking for consent before preserving them with thier entire system into a pocketdimenson. The ascension was impossible from such a pocket dimension, leaving them trapped on the precipice of thier next Evolutionary step.

But one of the Alrahomi managed to escape the entrapment, stood against the Preserver, defeated him and took his most important posession:

The Preserver Staff. It is the means to "Preserve" a Starsystem by moving it into it's own pocketverse. It also allows the wielder to watch the Universe and sometimes enter it (presumably to make certain they do not destroy themself from within). All these functions were readily apparent for the last Alrahomi.

But the one most important function eludes him: How to release something from the Staff or rather it's pocket dimension. It might well have never been intended in the design of the staff.

While "The Perserver" was defeated and is no longer avalible for questioning, he did come from a pre-existing Civilisation. A civilsiation that had outposts across the galaxy - many places that are now accessible only through the Preserver Staff itself. But especially they had an outpost on earth. And so the path of the Last Alrahumi was set: Go to earth. And find a way to free his species from thier Imprisionment, by studying the works of the Perserves Civilisation.

He has a number of odd titles given to him over the ages:

Last and First Alrahomi

The Blind Reader

The Eternaly Homsick Wanderer

The unwilling Preserver

Carrier of the fate of a thousand worlds

The Technomage*

Bighead*

Old Dude*

But among earth super he is mostly known as "Big Al" (Al is short for Alrahumi)*.

*Recent titles given to him by some serious and several less serious earth supers.

Roles:

He could be a questgiver of sorts.

Some of the knowledge he needs might only exist in a pocket dimension but those can be highly dangerous, so he might hire the Heroes to explore one of them.

He could also be a villain, driven near mad by the isolation and the burden of carrying the fate of his whole species. He did firgure out how to release a very recently preserved thing, wich he could use to blackmain the heroes into helping him (thier help for the freedom of a city or important person).

As a hero or covnentional villain he would be dedicated to unlocking the secrets of the staff, wich might give him spartial manipulation powers (Portals, including Portal based Deflection, dimensional barrier shields, attacking with "shards" of pocket universes).

Hardlight: So, how was the trip?

Flux: Eventful.

Hero Shrew: Much property damage?

Flux: No.

Hero Shrew: Slight property damage?

Flux: I've somehow managed to annoy the most powerful mage on the planet.

Hero Shrew: Was she hot?

Flux: Well, yes, but-

Hardlight: Did you get her number?

GM: Everybody's got her numb- what I MEAN is that the Champions have a public contact number.

 

Flux gets the Tablet back to his lab - everything he's read about it said it can't be analysed - but his info-magery immediately reveals the arcane equivalent of circuitry.

 

Hardlight: Oh - it's the TABLET of Khedjameth.

GM: Yep - Which explains why everyone thought it was incomplete. Nobody else figured out how to change the page.

[...]

 

Fireflash gets a phonecall a few hours later, from Millennium City.

 

Witchcraft: He's had it for less than a day. I spent THREE WEEKS in the LIBRARY OF BABYLON, with THE LIBRARIAN'S SCROLL and I didn't even finish the page!

Fireflash: It's information magic.

Witchcraft: It can't be, it's older than the Lemurians-

Fireflash: Yes, well, it's a Kindle.

Witchcraft: ... The TABLET of Khedjameth.

Fireflash: It took me a while to get that too.

I literally have no idea how you even got that idea.

And here I was about to say something about the resident "genious, billionaire, playboy philantropist" having something against hitting on witchcraft.

There's a NASA proposal to restore Mars' atmosphere, by putting up a satellite with a strong magnetic field to repel solar winds. Neat. When we recreate the dinosaurs we can put them there.

Genetic Science experiment with Deadman Asteroid? Nice to finally see some concerns for safety.

Okay, the next Patch/Expansion has finally been confirmed. It is due on 6th of April, still a month out.

So let us now go back to our Documetnation of the Stellar State:

A lot of communication has been gathered with other Empires.

Of biggest interest is the Galactic South.

The Union stretches from Peya/Brius and Trax Ofko in the north...

... to Nunus and Cezuetov in the North.

In the SW we have a recent additions to our Military Forces.

The Tzinn have grown to a major empire, just by turning defensive wars around.

What is left of the Ix'Idar will be gobeleld up by the Mandasura.

The Meko'Nass and Jehetma have been expanding seriously.

Just recently the Jehetma place a Colony in Wir Thosk, very close to our space.

2278.05.01:
The Ministery of Culture on Carnanola was opened today. It was designed by the Artisans and helps bring understanding and lessen Xenophobia across the Union.*

2278.06.08:
The Ix'Idar - now called Conscioness of Athrak - just decalred war on the Tzynn. This is likely because the Tzynn are still embroiled in a war on another Front.

2279.02.05:
One would generally asume that Nuclear Warfare would make a planet non-inhabitable for all partical purposes. However, scientists under Jasmine Bloom just started groundbreaking reserach into how to place Colonies onto their Iradiated Surface.

2279.04.30:
Two Systems with Cold Climate have been found as possible colony sites for Jholian (annexed Primitives) Colonists.
Brachium (21, Alpine + 10) has begun Terraforming into the ideal Tundra climate. While Media can be colonised right away. Both will be Added to the Ipa'Go Sector.

2279.05.18:
we made Contact with teh Humans of the "United Nations of Earth". They are situated in the NW Quadrant, right next to the Mandasuria/Ix'Idar.

2279.09.15:
We made a Contract with the Aritsan Troupe, Guaranteeing that they will hold a "Festival of Worlds" on our planets for the next 5 years. This is expected to increase both population happiness and reproduction.

2281.01.01:
Media Prime has been Established

2281.04.20:
The Brius System is highly interesting. It contains two Artic Worlds, one of wich Inhabits a Bronze Age Civilsiation. The Creation of a Wormhole Nexus and Frontier outpost has been ordered there.

2281.10.01:
A new Election Season has begun. Basil Bloom, Flora Lite and Huckleberry Hawthorn are once again the 3 main Candidates, with General Basil Bloom having a Decent chance to be re-elected.

2282.01.08:
As expected, Basil Bloom was re-elected.

2282.05.11:
Shortly a war of Conquest will begin against the Huvidu-Zaan. In preparation for this, ship buildup has been restarted. While we maintain most of the 60 destroyers ships of the previous two wars, more ships can never hurt.

2282.10.19:
The Brius Frontier Outpsot is online. On top the the Primitives and colonise planets in Brius itself, there is also a Industrial Civilisation in Peya. They will be the first Arid Dwelling species to be added to our Uniion.

2282.11.29:
The Original Tzynn/Dabbax war ended in a Stalemate. Meanwhile the Tzynn/Ix'Idar war seems to be going rather well for the Tzynn all things considered.

2282.12.14:
The Mandasuria entered into a Defense Pact with us today.

2283.06.04:
The Infiltration of Lumenium in Peya has begun.

2283.08.02:
We made contact with teh Riggan Merchant Guild. We quickly aquired a steady supply of Riggan Spice.

2284.01.01:
We found some very Active Ancient Technology on Media Prime.
With the Kundan no Longer Weary from their Conquest, a war has been declared against the Huvidu-Zaan Order. However, as they are way to big to conquer, we instead decided to Vassalize them. The first targets of Admiral Rose Garland will be Several Frontier outposts.

2284.05.02:
With Bachium having complete terraforming, a colonyship has been ordered in Media.

2285.01.14:
Odd happenings on Media: The active Ancient Technology turned out to be drones. Luckily they identified us as a "afiliated Race" of their former masters, so they did not attack. However they have turned off shortly after that. We were unable to reactivate or dismantle them thus far.

2285.03.02:
Suskat's Maw did not only contain a enemy Frontier Outpost, but also a Curator Enclave. We made thus contact with them. We bought active reserach assitance from them.

2285.04.03:
We are having a minor Energy shortage. However between the Trader Enclave and our allies we should be able to make up the difference. Nontheless, Ipa'Go Sector has been ordered to focus on Energy production

2286.01.26:
The Media Prime drones have begun active and practically overnight created the basis of a space Elevator. Removing it will cost considerable minerals, but at least our Engineers are more then happy to analyse anything about it they can.

2286.05.01:
The Bachium colony has been established. Meanwhile the fleet is destroying the space instalations over both planet in Scheat, to prepare for the Invasion.

2286.09.21:
The Tzynn have won thier war with the Ix'idar and have annexed massive amounts of land. They are now a credible threat to the Mahagony Union.

2286.10.18:
The 1st Sheat Colony has been conquered.

2287.01.26:
The Median Drones spontaneously gave us a bunch of Minerals. That should easily offset the issues caused by their space Elevator Project.

2287.04.17:
After our Fleet went after a nearby wormhole station, the enemy Fleet lays siege to teh captured Scheat Colony. Our fleet is already en-route to break the siege and hopefully destroy the enemy armada.

2287.06.20:
The Mandasuria are attacking the remainder of Ix'Idar colonies. Considering the massive losses the Ix'Idar have taken in the Tzynn war, thier victory seems likely.

2287.07.07:
The K'Taknor contacted us. They are a irrelevant Empire along the Galactic Border.
Meanwhile the Humans requested a Non-Agression pact, wich was granted.

2287.07.27:
A massive Spacebattle took place in Scheat. The enemy fleet was annihilated completely but the troop transports managed to escape.

2288.01.10:
After the 2nd Sheat Colony Fell, they had to conceede the war. We will integrate them at a later time.
As a result of thier Defeat, we now have contact with the Jehetma and Meko'Nass species, two Harmonious Collectives from the NW quadrant.

2288.01.26:
The Media Drones alerted us to the location of a crashed sattelite on thier home - the local moon.

2288.02.01:
While the Infiltration of the Local Primitives in Peya Continues, we also send a Jholian Colonyship to the other habitable planet in the Peya System.

2288.04.18:
We made contact with the Uthonian Tribes in the NW quadrant.




*Despite having a Deviant Species and Running Free Thought, my Homeworld ended up having Ethics Covergence. Between the Homeworld Bonus and the Ministery, stuff just piled up.

But how many will we have invaded?

0

Seeing them is easy, but the commute is a killer.

Summary: I won a war and found some new guys in the east, including another of the Evangelist Zealot type.

2262.10.09:
We found a "Archive of Life" in a asteroid. Apparently a ancient attempt to preserve DNA samples of various species. A science team will be send to investigate as soon as possible.

2263.02.02:
We are running a considerable deficit in Energy right now. While the longterm goal is for the new Colonies to provide power for the empire, the shorterm solution was to trade about Minerals for Energy with the Dabbax. They accepted a deal at almost 1:1 ration.

2263.02.27:
Gruesome find in Yobhanir. A Gas Giant habitat kept afloat via Aerostatic froces turned out to be a gruesome sight. It appears to have been a sort of Social Experiment that ended with the Inhabitants killing each other.

2265.06.02:
"We must have the courage to seize our fate and make true what was always meant to be". - Ash Oak (Developed Manifest Destiny.

2265.09.27:
The Ix'Idar Star Collective form the NE Quadrant contacted us today. A abhorently collectivist soceity. They seem to agree, as they closed thier Borders.

2265.10.01:
A massive Buildup of Destroyers has begun. This is in preparataion for the war against the Kundan Government. The space at large is a black box to us, as the Kunda had closed thier borders pretty much instantly.

2268.08.22:
The science Ship Grolus IV has been finished and put under command of Rowan Bloom. It's goal is to make a steady survey of the less relevant systems in our space.

2269.05.02:
Work on a Galactic Stock Exchange has begun on Malchior VII. With it's positive effect on our energy infrastructure, we should be able to afford moving our entire fleet out during a war.

2270.03.08:
We found a  Gasgiant Dwelling species called the Dathnak. We agreed to relocate them, unfortunately thier intended new colony is lightyears outside our FTL range.

2270.05.07:
A War of Annexation has been declared on teh Kundan Government. Only two of hte Colonies (Arcturus and Kunn-Ti) are currently in range. But we will expand our FTL network as we conquer those planets.

2270.07.05:
The Fleet managed to assault Arcturus. Despite a FTL trap, the System has been secured.

2270.10.02:
In our quest to relocate the Dathnak, we made contact with the Huvidu-Zaan Order. From the Soceity a almost perfect mirror of the Kundan, luckily that als put those two powers at odds.
Unfortunately the New Homework for the Dathnak is deep in their Territory and still slightly out of our reach. There will be no way to relocate them.

2270.11.09:
Arcturus has been secured in Ground Combat.

2271.02.20:
We made contact with a species north of even the Ix'Idar. The Mandasura are Democratic Crusaders, so potential allies once they realise how beneficial such a thing would be for them.

2271.10.01:
Basil Bloom was re-elected, but only barely against the support for Flora Lite.

2272.03.18:
Our atempt to save the Dathnak failed. They had to retreat so deep, they are no longer in communication range. However the Disaster will eventually follow them even down there.

2272.05.14:
Reed Bloom has died today, when his ship was destroyed during a emergency FTL. Thus he follows Erica Hawthorn, whose dead lead to him rising to prominence in the first place.

2272.06.12:
The Mandasura and Dabbax are now allied. The added trust towards us allowed us to join a non-agression pact with the Mandasura.

2272.09.03:
During an attempt to recapture Arcturus, the Kunda Fleet was intercepted and utterly destroyed.

2272.11.17:
The Dabbax and Mandasura just declared joint war on the Tzynn. By sheer fleet power, either of the two should be able to defeat the Tzynn alone. However thier Militarist tendencies might make them stronger then they appear.

2273.02.10:
Ash Oak was mudered by the Kundan Today, making this our 3rd Scientist to die due to warfare.

2273.09.09:
The Huvidu-Zann closed thier boders, putting an end to any further survey attempts in that area of space.

2273.11.01:
The Kundan have surrendered to our Superior Rule. The Kundiya Sector has been formed and put under the leadership of Flora Lite.

2274.02.05:
We became a Parton of the Arts.
Meanwhile the Anti-Tzynn war seems to be going well.

2274.05.18:
We made contact with the Ymacera Covenant on teh Far Side of the Huvidu-Zaan. Federation Builders that are alredy in a Federation with another empire in that sector.

2274.06.05:
Now the Hythean contacted us. Together with the Ymacera they form the "Just Alliance."

2274.06.06:
We were granted Association Status with the Just Alliance.

2275.06.14:
It appears the war against the Tzynn has massively backfired. The Tzynn are clearly in a superior position.

2275.12.02:
Another minor power near the Huvidu-Zaan has been found. The Hahn-Mur Polity are spiritual seekers, also in association Status with the Just Alliance.

The Galaxy thus far:

The known empires pretty much control the entire south/easter quadrant). With us being the dominant one.

The south around the Galact Border is very peacefull and hardly abitable.

The next war will happen in the west of the SE quadrant. It will take considerable expansion of the wormhole network to actually assault the Tzinn in the NE quadrant.
