A War for the Stars

[Erax]

Admiral Wiers' private log, SGY 2401.6:

The Andarr have accepted our goods. We will send them another shipment.

We also have a new colonizer design, the Comet class. These ships use the new implosion drives and are almost twice as fast as the Nova class, but with a drastically shorter range. We will build a few to colonize neighboring systems - after we are done upgrading mining facilities on Virgillia V.

Admiral Wiers' private log, SGY 2401.7:

Our relations with the Andarr are definitely improving. We will send them another shipment of goods, this time with a trade treaty attached.

Nova VI has arrived on Gesaril V. We plan to build a starport/spaceyard/resupply complex there along with farms and research centers.

Nova VII is being refitted as a Comet-class colonizer. She will be renamed Comet I.

Captain Veren has discovered another colonizable system, which has been named Syned. Seeker I is proceeding to one of Syned's three other hyperconduits; we will soon find out what lies beyond our neighboring systems.

Admiral Wiers' private log, SGY 2401.8:

The Andarr have agreed to our Trade Alliance. This is good news indeed. We must set up a proper Diplomatic Corps, and I think I have the right man for the job.

Comet I is still being refitted. She should launch next tenth.*

* - I forgot to include a reactor in the new design and had to do another refit. Doh !
