01.23 -- Mining station finished in Leesak. Two more to go in the system, and we can now use the Troutstone, though it won't be needed for some years. Plans are in place though, to build the Trout Power Plant on Humboldt eventually.
02.01 -- Our new colony has been founded in Norgon, known as Eskogg. As before it will take a year for it to fully establish itself.
02.06 -- Final mining network upgrade finished on Humboldt. We have now doubled our mineral income in the past few years to over 50 a year, only 5% of which is used for maintaining the fleet. It will be nearly three years until the homeworld is in need of any other surface additions.
03.10 -- Andack system survey completed. It is strategically important as a chokepoint, but has only a bit of energy and nothing else of value. With no other threats at the moment, it is decided that the fleet with cleanse the mining drones discovered in the Yiriam system. Meanwhile the
Korgasch moves further out.
04.12 -- We receive a communique from a civilization styling itself the Unified Djomar Stars. This is our first 'spread of communications' event -- basically they heard of us through discussions with others(Kroll it would seem in this case).
Their space lies on the opposite side of the Kroll Star Commonwealth, effectively boxing the Kroll in the middle. Overall they like us slightly less than the Kroll do -- they are spiritualists which fits well with us, but as a democracy they do not have the wisdom to understand the primacy of the needs of the many. We establish an embassy as we still have two remaining to use. The Djomar seem to have surveyed more of their territory than the Kroll but are otherwhise very similar in terms of overall power, not quite as strong as we are but in the same general ballpark.
05.03 -- Kornaggi has been surveyed and found to be one of the richest in minerals we have yet discovered, second only to Ambisia. We may eventually wish to develop this area in the outer arm.
05.15 -- Tassargoid collection completed in the Pesch system. It seems their prey come to a rather ... unfortunate ... end. The
Laggasch will now move on to the Trimus system in the lower reaches of Kroll space.
07.20 -- Mining station finished in Leesak. One more to finish the
Mildrosch's work in the system.
08.01 -- Mining drones engaged in Yiriam system. It appears to be the same size force that was easily eliminated in our last encounter with them.
09.05 -- Humboldt begins upgrade to what is so far the only spaceport.
09.28 --
Glabonsch has found something interesting before leaving the Kornaggi system. Here's what he had to say about it:
For now he'll return to the Vultaum site one jump away, then come back to take care of thi.
10.15 -- Mining station defeated in Yiriam, another successful battle for the Nautilus Squadron. They will now head to Cador, to try themselves against an enemy they have not yet fought, the mysterious void cloud. TBH at this point I didn't really remember the strength of the void cloud, so if it's too close to ours we won't actually attack. I know the Space Amoebas are beyond us.
11.01 --
JIMGA is up to ***. Second assault army recruited on Humboldt.
11.05 -- All stations are up and running in Leesak. On to Hodranus, recent addition to Oncorhynchus space, where a physics research station is planned.
12.01 -- Basic hydroponics farm is begun on Bakangi.
12.24 -- Fleet arrives in Cador. The void cloud is estimated to be only half our strength, and we will also have the advantage of numbers. The order is given to attack.
After next year I'm going to update a bunch of details. There will be some decisions to be made. Added Palmieri so he at least can start getting a bit of xp.
