Twenty Five Years

It's been 25 years since the Terran Federation first took a step to the stars and lot's has happened. The big issue at the moment is the gradual depletion of minerals on Earth although I have found numerous bodies in the surrounding systems with good amounts of minerals. To help with the shortages the mineral output on the civilian mining colonies on Pluto and Iapetus is purchased for our use at a cost of 750 wealth a year.

8th June 2050

A survey of the EG 168 system is started by survey group 1. The system contains no bodies and has just one star.

17th June 2050

Due to no bodies present the three Goldrush geo survey ships are despatched to Giclas 221-5 another unexplored system from NN 3106.

22nd June 2050

The jump gate on the Sol side of the Tau Ceti system is now complete so when we are ready transit to the system will not be a problem the only thing is it will be a one way trip until the Tau Ceti system is taken control of.

20th June 2050

Research completes on EM sensitvity 8 which will allow fire controls and active sensors to be smaller and more powerful.

24th September 2050

Gormus 001 whilst waiting at the Gliese 2 jump point in the NN 3106 system picks up an unknown alien craft on thermal sensors the intelligence service designate it as Ogdoad class. The thermal strenght is 180 which I'm sure means something to do with the size. Gormus 001 ctivate it's transponder and my best diplomatic team is assigned.

21st October 2050

A new jump point is discovered in the EG 168 system.

30th October 2050

The gravsurvey of the EG 168 system completes and only one unexplored jump point is found.

Just had a look at re-designing the military craft and I've realised that renaming tech is very important. Looking at the list I can't remember which sensor and fire control goes with which weapoon system and on which ship. In future I will give some kind of comparitive name for now I'll have a go at renaming and obsoleting and hope I can work it out. This is another good tip for any new players out there.

20th April 2051

The alien race encountered in NN 3106 indentify themselves as the Bujumbura Empire and we are currently neutral. Since the encounter no sign of them has been picked up.

20th July 2051

A new jump point is found in the EZ Aquarii system this survey has taken along time due to an error on my part something else that I messed up.

7th August 2051

Gravsurvey of EZ Aquarii finally completes and no unexplored jump points are found.

Well that's all for tonight still trying to get my head around the military designs should have something sorted by tomorrow then construction can start.
