2219, Part 1

2219.01.22 -- With flashes of immense electrical power, the void cloud battle begins. We've named in XUUL, and soon it becomes apparent that it has regenerative properties and can absorb as much damage as 4-5 corvettes.

02.01 -- Eskogg colony is officially up and running.

02.02 -- Nanomechanics research completed.

02.06 -- Third specimen, the Sniran, collected. Off to Leesak now so that we can colonize that system.

03.01 -- Hyroponics farm finished on Bakangi.

03.05 -- Spaceport upgrade finished. Also, the void cloud is defeated. One corvette was almost destroyed but was narrowly able to hold together. The Nautilus Squadron, having cleared two more systems of obstacles, returns to Humboldt. The Korgasch will now have its work cut out over the next years surveying and analyzing debris.


Research Director's Briefing: Dr. Coffee Warlord

** Destroyers(Voidcraft, 1044) -- Mineral Capacity increased by 2000(presently 8000). Unlocks Destroyers, a larger ship class more powerful than corvettes. Unlocks another Spaceport upgrade to allow for three modules each.
** Robotic Workers(Industry, 556) -- Believe it or not, exactly the same thing it was the first time it came up: "Unlocks Robots, a buildable population unit. Robots come at a considerable cost in currency(150 energy, 50 minerals). They are not nearly as good at research(five to equal one Architreuthis) or financial matters(five to equal two Architreuthis) as our citizens. They have a number of advantadges, however. Robots do not consume food, they are equally good farmers, and actually slightly better miners. They also can function just as effectively anywhere, regardless of the habitability, and allow for potentially faster development of new worlds given that they can be built at the same time our own population is growing. "
** Plasma Thrusters(Rocketry, 1044) -- Another 10% upgrade on the speed of our current ion thrusters.
** Nanocomposite Materials(Materials, 115/417) -- You've seen this enough times, it doesn't need to be explained again.

Dr. Coffee Warlord, you're on the clock again. Do something.
