Yay, story story story! It's been a while since we've had something to read, please keep it going. Your writing is good- you've taken something we're all overfamiliar with- the first few turns of a game where you colonise your homesystem and take some well-established research choices- and made it interesting with an intriguing society and characters. Well done.

Just out of interest (it doesn't matter to me one way or the other) is this to be a game-led story or a story-led game?
