2253.09.03 -- Agglor begins a Hyroponics Farm to bolster it's growing population.

10.09 -- Upon arriving at the black hole Demon's Maw, Dr. JIMGA Jr. reports a very large Qravadox fleet(6 cruisers, 14 destroyers, 18 corvettes), roughly equivalent to the entirety of our navy. It appears that they have just concluded a battle with what were probably space amoebas in the system. Nice of them to do our work for us ...

12.27 -- Interstellar Railroad(only one slave pop lost though). Malcontents drop to 10% support, so there is no immediate danger of a repeat occurence.

2254.02.12 -- Frontier Outpost completed in Hanneri. New research stations, which will greatly benefit the Physics Dept., are begun immediately.

03.12 -- Hydrooponics Farm finished on Agglor and begins upgrading.

04.30 -- Surveying of what remains of Kroll space has been completed, and the Djomar are next. This will give us a good indication of who, if anyone, is worth conquering ... the Laggasch(Aslik Deesh) has been by happenstance assigned to this.

05.02 -- The Fist of Boojie departs the Haribas system, having it's first complement of three upgraded cruisers ready. The crystalline elites in the Tenecca system await. Such excursions now cost about 10 energy per month to sustain ...

08.02 -- The latest colony ship is finished and heads to the Izval system. A minimal investment of 30(out of over 100) influence will be required as it is within our space. Due to the plenteous state of our energy reserves(over 2100, well better than half our maximum storage) and the few developing systems we presently control, another is begun immediately at Agglor Spaceport.

08.24 -- Hydroponic Farm upgrade finished on Agglor.

09.01 -- Dr. JIMGA Jr. reports a small ocean planet(size 11) in the Obnoll system. This is significant as it is the 'jumping off' point from the corridor past Qravadox space back to our arm of the galaxy, past the Djomar. It remains to be seen who, or what, awaits us there ...

09.26 -- The Fist of Boojie engages the crystalline entities in Tenecca. This will likely be a short battle.

11.01 -- Power Hub begun on Bakangi; this will occupy the final usable province there. Toxic kelp will be cleared on Eskogg as well.

12.08 -- The fighting in Tenecca is over after about two and a half months. The remaining raider and three of six corvettes were lost, but all of the cruisers and destroyers survived. Attrition from such battles will require more of the smaller ships to be built, but it seems our larger ones are near-impregnable against even these foes. The cruisers, and nine of the fifteen destroyers which sustained no damage to anything other than shields will proceed to the next target, the mining-drone infested Nekkar system, while the others return to Haribas for the usual repairs. We destroyed another 18 elite crystals, and our hit ratio was a third higher than theirs(67 to 50%). Co-opting their technology seems to have been a very effective development.

2255.01.02 -- The year begins with the completion of Supersolid Materials research. We can now build more advanced Engineer Laboratories, which will spark somewhat of a new planetary spending spree.
