2040 General Briefing

All information here is accurate as of 2240.02.01.

The Galactic Picture

Obviously there's not much detail here, but even zoomed in one level I can't put all of it in one shot. Between what we have explored and communications with other empires, we have knowledge of an estimated 15-20% of the galaxy. We control the blue-shaded areas, middle right on this chart.

Alien Empires

We have official contact with nine others in the galactic community. Here's how we rank among them, according to our best intelligence:

Fleet Power: We are roughly on bar with the Thar'Biq, and stronger than everyone else. The Elaaminid and Bruggan empires are 'pathetic' in comparison.
Naval Capacity: The Thar'Biq can support a larger navy, the Ul-Tur and Oxx-Oxx are on fairly level terms with us, and the others have less in terms of logistics
Technological Level: The Anthanebians are more advances, but everyone else is pretty much on the same level as us. There is not a great deal of variety in terms of scientific advancements in our sector of the galaxy .
Planets Held: We have 9, second to the Thar'Biq who have 11. The Hakibori have 6, and nobody else has more than 4.
Total Population: 68, 55 Architreuthis and 13 Shantari. The Thar'Biq are tops here again with 116, with everyone else in the 30s or 40s.

Size is clearly our biggest strength. We seem to be emphasizing military power more than the others. Overall the Thar'Biq are still stronger, but the gap is closing and within 20 years we may have the edge. This does not mean we can do whatever we want, however. There are three key potential foes right now:

** Thar-Biq Imperium -- Still somewhat bigger than us, the Imperium holds the swath of territory above and to the right of the galactic core. We currently have good relations thanks to our embassy.
** Bright Compact -- This alliance consists of the Kroll Star Commonwealth and the Djomar League, the two empires directly 'below' us, or inward on our arm of the galaxy, however you want to think of it. Both are weaker than us, but I'm not sure we are yet quite a match for their combined might. Embassies with both of these maintain positive relations with our only neighbor.
** Glorious Compact -- This is comprised of three empires, making it the largest alliance we know of. The two empires in the upper left, and the brown area to the right of them are the member empires. From left to right, they are the Bruggan Polity, Elaaminid Stellar Polity, and the Athanebian Consensus. The Athanebians are the most technologically advanced species we have yet discovered, but the other two have virtually no navy to speak of. Still, as triumvirate they are not to be trifled with.

Economics

Here's where we stand in terms of current resources.

** Energy -- 148 produced per month, with 6.4% of that coming from sector taxes. The sector systems are still relatively un-developed, but in a decade or two this figure should increase. Outlays are 126 monthly: 20.6% to ship maintenance, 5.30% to army maintenance, 38% to orbital stations, 32.9% to planetary buildings, and 3.17% to spaceport modules. Contrary to a couple of years ago, we have a healthy margin of +22.5 per month, partly due to the adoption of Inquisitor Laren's pro-energy agenda. The current balance is 794, a bit low but a lot higher than it was.

** Minerals -- The sectors contribute more here, with 17.8% of our 140 per month coming mostly from the Kroll Border area. Effectively these taxes pay for the fleet, which consumes 15%. The monthly surplus here is 118, enough to pay more most provincial buildings or an orbital station and have plenty left over. A lot of recent spending has gone into building and upgrading spaceports and there's still room for more of that, but it's become quite rare for us not to have the minerals to do what is needed. Current balance is 405, which will probably be used soon one way or the other.

** Influence -- Income here is 4 per month, a base of 3 and +1 from Laren's skills. The Free Thought imperial edict consumes 1, as does the outpost in Yiriam. This leaves us +2 per month.

** Research -- Physics brings up the year at 24 per month, with Society tops at 41, and 34 for Engineering.

** Strategic Resources -- The Betharian/Trout Stones are the only ones we have discovered. We have one, which is used by the power plant on Humboldt. Three others have been discovered, two in the region of Khamb, but none are within out territory yet.

** Logisitical Caps -- We're at 5/5 on planets, but periodically forming sectors keeps this in line. 2/4 on sectors so we can still make more of those, or just add planets to existing ones. Naval capacity is at 40/78, a quality-sized fleet for our empire but it can still grow quite a bit. The leader cap is maxed out at 10/10, with 1 governor, 7 scientists, an admiral, and a general.

Special Projects

At the bottom of the star chart you'll see a pair of systems with amber brackets. Those are the two remaining from the High Value Mining initiative. There is a crossing from the outer arm close to the ping on the right, so it is possible we might be able to survey them. It seems likely though that the area may well be occupied. Our investigations into the precursor race we have called the Vultaum Star Assembly have stalled with no new discoveries in over a decade. We have only three of the required six relics we need to complete those investigations. We have 9 of the 325 planets required for Domination Victory, and Conquest Victory stipulates elimination of the 29 independent empires in the galaxy. We've only met a third of them.
