Admiral Wiers' private log, SGY 2401.4:

Both of our proposals have been rejected. The Andarr are distant, the Yakrin contemptuous. We have much to learn about diplomacy. The Yakrin war vessel retreated back through the hyperconduit to parts unknown. Nova V can now proceed to Gesaril II, where we have detected what may be deserted alien ruins. It is my hope that these ruins can give us some clue as to who built this net of hyperconduits between the stars.

On another note, our Army bases have been built, now we must train their staff. Meanwhile we are going back to engine research. Starfighters are the cheapest and fastest way to defend our new colonies, but first we need proper ion engines for them.
