I found the video amusing btw. Slightly overpowered compared to the crystalline entities, but if you're going to do propaganda anyway, no point in doing it halfway ...
2259-60
** We are now on version 1.23. I haven't been keeping tabs on what the changes are, we will see how things go and I'll report anything new or surprising.
2259.05.02 -- Agglor begins a major construction, the second Troutian Power Plant, as the recently acquired Troutstone formation will be put to good use. The need for more energy and to use this important resource overrides the research focus in this instance.
07.01 -- The fleet begins to mobilize in the Deetenal system for war.
08.01 -- The Quannaga colony is up and running, the last new world for the time being.
11.11 -- Our second Troutian Power Plant, this one on Agglor, is now operational. It will be upgraded immediately, but the addition of this energy source brings us to nearly even now on that front.
12.03 -- Yet another setback on Vurl-Xagh, as some of world's leaders are still in place and have not been replaced with our agents. This is proving to be a more lengthy and costly infiltration than expected, and we may well not have the planet until after the the next round of conflict with the Bright Compact is concluded. The latest estimate is nearly two more years ...
2260.04.02 -- Mountain Range Removal has been researched. It is noted that 'sometimes there is little difference between terraformation and demolition'. Meanwhile, we are nearly ready for war. The Fist of Boojie is nearly to Deteenal, with Eusrim's troops already in place. The final Djomar systems are being surveyed by our science ships, and the exact date of attack will likely be determined by when they can finish that and get out of their space. Zarim, where the attack by the crystalline entities occurred, is the only one that will remain unsurveyed.
Research Director's Briefing: Dr. David Corperial
** Doctrine: Space Combat(Military Theory, 10 mo.) -- Improves naval capacity by 10%. This continues to be a non-issue; energy is the limiter here not naval capacity. We are presently at 95/186.
** Symbols of Unity(Statecraft, 14 mo.) -- This is a Rare technology. The Symbol of Unity building reduces ethics divergence by 10% on any planet where it is built. This may, or may not, be important to maintaining loyalty to the Collective as our empire continues to grow.
** Arid Colonization(New Worlds, 36 mo.) -- Arid worlds are not good for our species ... but they are good for others. This would unlock many new planets for colonization, and are most fitting for our Shantari slaves. The Thek'Qlak, who will be joining us after the infiltration eventually succeeds, also prefer Arid planets.
** Amoeba Flagella(Biology, 17/71 mo.) -- Bred from space amoebas for use as strike craft.
Dr. David Corperial, you are now on the clock. The truce officially times out in two months ...
