November - I order another colony ship built
December – Koter is surveyed, next is unknown. We found a dig site here.
2205 – May - We finish exploring Vanniko and Menchib. Vanniko was brought under the control of the aliens, so I order the Construction ship to Antares to build a starbase and then explore Zosma and Poru.
November – Colony ship finished and I order it to Antares
We finish Quantum Theory, next is Admin AI which will increase all research by 5%
2206 – February – We finish our engineering tech and next is Assembly Patterns that drops our build speed on planets by a quarter.
Anomaly research in Zosma
April – We add Antares to our new empire
May – New colony in Antares
This is a giant 23 sized planet; nice!
I order another Construction ship
June – We have gained contact with the Chittering Concordat! This is one of my own previous empires that I won the game with:
Fanatic Xenophile, pacifist
We seek nothing but peace and to be friends
We form a non-aggression pact and establish an embassy with them
Panthavon is now a full holding. I order luxury apartments here
I send the Concordat our envoy
I offer them a Commercial Pact – they accept
They offer a research pact and I agree
We can get another tradition and I choose Reach for the Stars which decreases our starbase cost by 10%
July – I order my new Construction ship to build a starbase in Koter next to my main and next to the Chittering Concordat.
Aug – We form a defensive pact with the Concordat
We have finished the bio tech of biodiversity studies next is Offworld Trade Companies which unlocks those on my Starbase.
