Admiral Wiers' private log, SGY 2405.4:

Raw materials are still scarce despite our best efforts. Shipments from the Klozar system have alleviated the situation somewhat, but at the moment our metal reserves are at 2% and decreasing. Nova production will be halted here in the capital and moved to Berlin III; we will gain some valuable time by launching our colony ships closer to the frontier.

Fyrine IV left 30 million colonists on Berlin III; most of them will be carried out to new worlds as the Novas are launched. Another 30 million colonists will be carried on to the Aram system, to occupy all available worlds before the Alliance can gain a foothold there.

Black Saber I took a security battalion aboard and some civilians, who will run the system government on Aram I. Meanwhile other security forces continue to be raised on Aram IV.

We now have a working shield projector prototype. It won't protect a ship from the weapons on a Yakrin frigate, but it is a good start. Now we must develop implosion reactors and anti-fighter weaponry; I feel we have already passed the turning point in the war against the Yakrin, but there may be - there almost certainly are - other hostile races in this sector.
