2012
3.24 -- Glorim investigating faint alien signal, with the rest of Manthall survey completed. 22% risk factor.
4.12 -- The fleet is fully repaired once more. The Nautilus Squadron will now wait for resources to become available for upgrading their weapons systems to the new coilguns.
5.02 -- It took much longer than expected, but the debris in the Arrakis system has been analyzed, with considerable Engineering benefit. Deesh himself has also benefited in terms of increased knowlege. The
Mildrosch will remain in the system to build stations for probably a couple years, but the
Laggash moves on to finish up the Siccon system survey.
05.14 --
Glorim has discovered an ancient life pod in Manthall. About six months of increased research boon to Society Dept will result.
06.09 -- The
Korgash arrives in the new system of Cador only to find a Void Cloud present, and moves on. There are no planets here of immediate interest.
06.13 -- The first energy station in Arrakis is up and running. There will be several built here, of various types.
07.23 -- Comet sighted over Humboldt. This is seen as a positive omen, and a festival of thanks is called to honor Boojie for the grandeur of the universe. 15% happiness boost to all citizens for the next 12 months. Practically speaking this actually won't do much good, since everyone on Humboldt is actually ecstatic already and it's not quite enough to make the Bakangi colonists happy.
08.01 -- The first-ever provincial-size scientific lab is operational now on Humboldt, which is now up to 11 population. This is a significant boost to all research departments, particularly physics which gets it's first bump since we took our first steps into space over a dozen years ago, nearly a 50% increase for Dr. Justyce's team.
08.10 -- Glorim has improved to *** skill.
09.18 -- Siccon survey is completed, with one more mineral deposit found. Still not a great system, but there's some resources there.
10.20 -- Second energy station up and running in Arrakis. A mining station will be next, and there's a lot more to do in this system.
12.01 -- The Dorsals begin their upgrade. At this point it's a two and a half month process, but it seems to be getting longer each time.
