Dawn�s modernization program was also in full swing. Over eighty research facilities upgraded to a level five. Thirteen mineral facilities and intelligence facilities upgraded to level four. Ships were also getting the latest upgrades. The empire was getting stronger...

Sabotage was still running rampant throughout the empire. The openness of the society was proving to be just what enemies needed as a way to strike against the empire. The empire was getting ready to strike back...
