One of the intern researchers has stumbled upon something that has brought him in front of your desk directly. With the encouragement of the head researchers, he begins explaining how he discovered several latent comms systems that are reporting small amounts of metadata, or at least trying, about the ship and its capabilities. Removing this would require scrapping the entire EWS-3 Array, and with little understanding of the core mechanics, it's unlikely you could reproduce it. It's not long after you make the decision to remove it that you're called down to the Array by a rather excited engineer.

A holographic projection of a grotesque Telgron, with several gruesome augmentations and implants greets you, its face and body seemingly limp, but very much aware of its surroundings.

"And even the Dictator herself shows up? Oh this is too good. Fal'mra, you Xintar pleb, what makes you think this ship will ever truly bow to you? This Telgron host thought your kind foolish, but I had no idea it was this far!"

Your engineers are ready to detonate base charges in the array housing, frying the components. But this Demurge seems entertained, and perhaps in this rare moment of distraction, you could rend some bit of information from it.

After much debate regarding P2X0043, the crew heads of the Akran barge decides to send a shuttle of volunteer envoys from the civilian population aboard to communicate with part of the native population the first expedition did not spook.

ACTIONS:

1-2: Learning from the initial search, the volunteers will set down in a more remote location, and proceed unarmed to the nearest visible settlement, in an attempt to make peaceful contact with the indigenous sentients.

Crew on board the ship will be making remote efforts at translation, and will be monitoring the situation, so that if anything goes wrong, we will have experience for the next inevitable encounter. The Akran heads of crew are dead set on colonizing P2X0043, but would very much like the permission of the indigenes. It would be much easier to make peace with them than to have to waste time, energy, and resources blasting or removing them.

3: The food and water stocks are both wearing thin. If we are to establish a colony, we will certainly need more than we have. We send an exploratory force to the ground, to see if food is readily available, from any source.

Breakdown:

1-2: Volunteer envoys are sent lightly (but not visibly) guarded in a discreet manner to an obvious settlement of sentient life for an attempt at diplomacy with indigenous sentience.

3: Scavenge the planet for food far away from the envoys in a discreet manner, obscuring as much biology as possible. We wouldn't want to make a poor impression.

It's a Human Megacorp station, likely a ghost op, housing an experimental weapons array. But by the time you've made it inside, a klaxon sounds.

So it came to pass that the first Colony Ship from the Civilian Fleet made landfall in their system, landing upon P4X7843 in a tremendous cloud of dust and sand. Within minutes, the ramps started to disembark thousands of civilians who dutifully started to get to work as soon as possible in the mission towards building a new life. High above the planet, High President Zavaxis would genuinely smile for the first time in years as he viewed a holo-screen showing the colony setting up their new home deep in the sands of their planet. It was rare in these times with the Commission breathing down his neck and his wife ever-demanding that he could find joy in this universe but here it was.

He could see it now in the future, their child finding a place to rest their feet on the planet below in but the first stepping stone to recivilization. There was much work to be done first though. He had already sent the orders through for the Research Teams to start planning out their first compound on the planet below. It would be the entire shebang. Underground complex for unsavory research, decontamination rooms for diseases, and a onsite security teams in case they had to clean up a few messes. Perfect considering the need to resolve the tubers yesterday. There was also the matter of that madman who proposed a Asteroid Refinery Station. Seemed reputable. Totes believable.

Toss some cash at him and we don't have to worry about it until he either dies or we have a reliable source of Exotic Metal. Thank god for these trades going on. I don't know how I would function without all of these gullible nations giving us their resources for free. What a profitable market. We really should have done this years ago.

Fluff: A strong arm of the DCS, the Eridians specialized in mechanized assaults via orbital drops. They are bipedal sophants, and this design is reflected in their war machines. Towering metal machinations that provide support for their troops and ships. Known as "Gardes" They function as both orbital and ground support units, and fill a role usually occupied by much more squat and robust vehicles. As a military society, it go without saying that the Eridian people are spartan in dress and home, rejecting the luxury and comforts of modern life and only valuing performance on the battlefield. When the enemy came, the Eridians, like many other species, tried to oppose them, their Gardes were similar to the enemies own machines, and this apperantly offended the Enemy as well, because the Eridian's world was among the first to fall, and when the Enemy razed the planet, they didn't stop there, the pushed on, cracking the planet in two. The Eridian defense fleet lied in pieces in orbit around the detritus of their former world, the lifeless bodies of billions of souls floated in cold void, a warning to other species of the horrors to come. Now all that remains of the Eridians is what few ships they had out on deployment in the far reaches of the galaxy when the Enemy arrived. The E.C.S Ferdinand was such a ship.

Diamond stood on the hull of the metalloid that was the first of the Lark class battlecruisers and stared at the world above her as it slowly revolved. It gleamed like some exotic jewel, molten red and pitch black. She nodded once and placed her hands upon the hull and she spoke in the language of gemoids to her ship. Not sound, but vibrations, striking the material that made up the Lark rapidly in complex patterns.

"You have served us well. The time for expediency is over and thus you, gretest amongst metalloids, deserve a name. In the name of the Diamond Empire, I hereby pronounce you my Sword of Conviction." For a long moment there was silence then the metalloid shifted in form. "I am honored my Empress. I will bear my name with pride and all our enemies shall know my bite."

Diamond nodded. "Good. Now relay my words to our people." She straightened, and her form became solid, and shining. "I am Diamond. The last of that noble line. I am the one who ordered us flee, to leave our sisters to be shattered into dust. I am now the one to say this. We flee no longer. We have fought and won for the very first time. Our people have sought out a new home to live upon and we have found it. I give unto you, after a long journey our new home. I give you Ruby's Rest."

She looked again upon that glowing world. "It will not be easy, and I will not lie to you and say the worst is over. The Enemy is still out there. The Symphony seeks us as slaves. The SOC and what remains of the DCS would see us all dead for their treachery. And yet there is hope. The Sword of Conviction will protect us. We will create Larks and more to strike back at our enemies. There is hope once more, where there was naught but despair. We will survive, we will prosper, and eventually it will be our enemies who flee into the dark before us. "

>Construction: Orbital Refinery

When built around anything other than a Gas Giant, the tech for an Orbital Refinery shifts around, Instead of focusing on He3 refining, Antimatter becomes the fuel of choice.

>Research: Ablative Armor Plating

By fusing several thermal-reductive polymer sheets to the armor plating, the researchers are convinced they've got a working model. All that remains is stress testing and further refinement before the deploy-able model.

The High Judge slammed a DataSlate onto the display before him, causing his Newtling Assistant to jump.

"You mean to tell me." He breathed evenly, fins flaring slightly with each intake of air. "That our facility isn't operational yet?"

"S-sir." The Newtling nodded, his hesitation evident. "W-we did manage to-to-to salvage some of the materials."

As his back straightened, the High Judge closed his eyes, clapping his hands once as he brought his blood pressure down. Muttering quiet words to himself, it was a full five minutes until he turned to the Newtling.

"Contain the poor soul who ran out of Relaxinthesis. Quarantine him and give him the bare minimum so as he does no harm to himself."

The newtling nodded, tapping his own DataSlate quickly as he relayed the orders.

"This time," The High Judge spat through gritted teeth. "Do. NOT. Allow ANYTHING to disturb the construction."

The newtling nodded, swallowing nervously before he scampered away.

The High Judge turned to the great windows, depicting the blue orb of the planet they called home. He could see a small storm forming on the Horizon, thankfully far away from their small colony.

"Send out a message to the Ship-Engineers" He muttered, sub-vocalizing to his slightly damaged DataSlate. "I want them working on a design for a cheaper Orbital Refinery Station. We must acquire Exotic Metals to repay our debt."

1. Re-construct Relaxinthesis Plant! (-2 Raw, -2 Ex.)

Ship Attribute: Self Sustaining Liveship, Events that tax your water or food supply only require half the resources to succeed. You may forfeit this bonus to assist a fleet member once per three turns.

Racial Bonus: Experienced Spacers, Your race is uniquely attuned to life in space. As such you waste very little, and scrounge quite a bit. Resource gathering receives a +1 to total resources gathered on a success. Resource expenditures cost -1, minimum of 1.

Racial Detractor: Asocial Species, Your interactions with the fleet are strained, your people mistrustful of your neighbors. Defensive actions in support of your fleet are only half as effective. It requires 3/4ths majority to allow your race into the senate, instead of 2/3rds.

Other bonuses: Boarding pods: -1 Turn requirement for Capturing a ship, minimum of 1 Turn.

>Survey: Colonized Planet

Your survey team can't shake the feeling they're being watched, ever since they lost sight of the colony. After about the third ridge, the crew chief called for them to stop and set up a perimeter. It didn't matter though. By the time they had 360 coverage, the hunter had found its prey.

The recovery squad only found their weapons, bloodied and covered in a corrosive slime.

[Critical Failure, -100 Population]

>>7711

>Research: Latchkey Subspace Generator

Your researchers have made up for lost time considerably. While working with the mechanics of subspace is no trivial matter, a programmer stumbled upon a "gap" in the mathematical algorithms, and upon filling it, the software has made leaps and bounds in processing efficiency. Your researchers have benefited greatly, but your navigators believe they can use this to gain an edge in FTL jump speed.

[Gained: Improved FTL Algorithms: +10 to FTL related rolls]

[Success, Critical Success]

>Construction: Orbital Refinery w/ Adv. Ice Processor

Oddly enough, most of the production waste of asteroid mining is either regolith or ice. Not only being able to process one of the waste materials, while normally not advised, but process it efficiently, has worked to your advantage.

[Success]

>Mining: Water

The jump into FTL to the Oort Cloud is the last you see of that mining team. Some distorted telemetry comes in, but the computer can't make heads or tails of it. When the recovery team jumps back, they've got caskets and scrap.

[+1 Raw Metal]

>Salvage: Derelict Station

The more your crew starts ripping apart the station, the more they realize why it was abandoned. The structural beams are cracked and the metallurgical composition is weak. It'd take a serious refinery job to process this slag into anything usable.

The Lord Captain of Huntress Commlinks to the Queen of the Ossralian people.

It ahs come to our attention you are not as of yet, self sufficient in fuel. We would like to trade the technology of hydrogen fuel scoops usable in ftl for some of your spare resources. Say 4 ex metal and 3 raw metals. Does this sound like a deal?

>>7787

The Queen quickly accepts the offer, and the metals are shipped to the Solarians immediately

-4 Raw, 3 Ex

>>7789

>Research: Hydrogen Scoop

Hydrogen is used to power your ship's secondary power sources, which in turn feed the resulting He3 to your primary propulsion, effectively creating fuel. Your researchers have made a breakthrough and have figured out how to project these fields while in FTL

[+1 fuel a turn Costs 5 ex to build on a ship]

>>7706

>Research: Genetics Lab

While your crew is confident they can rig up a lab specialized for genetics. They need time to draft up the specs however, and this will require a full laboratory.

[Gain: Research: Genetics Lab, Gives a Research Slot, with +20 to any genetics related rolls, 5 Exotic Metal]

>Diplomacy: Native Population

You notice a marked difference between the pair of settlements your crews deploy to. One, who live in dirt-work forts and herd cattle, seem to think you're terrifying and just barricade themselves. The others? They're.. Odd. They seem to be more concerned with your metallic equipment, and more importantly, spitting on your metallic equipment. No acid or anything, just.. saliva.

>Scavenge: Food

Your crew manages to find a field of food that is edible. While making sure no native population farmed this, or even scavenged it, your crew makes quick work of harvesting the gourds.

>>7788

>Research: Catalytic-Based Endothermic Reactions

Exotic Metals are, predominately, rare because of their absence of planetary deposits. That said in the stellar stage they're not that impossible to find, just tricky. When most races hit the stellar playing field, economic shock sets in when they realize a kilo of gold isn't actually worth that much. A gram of anti-matter is not too difficult to get a hold of. But when talking about Catalyst metals as a fuel source, even your engineers cocked their heads. Sure it could be done, but is it worth it? Scarcity says no. But is this just the next step into the future?

[Gain: Research - Catalytic-Based Endothermic Reactions, 4 Turns, 3 Exotic Metal, May substitute Exotic Metal for Fuel during upkeep.]

>Construction: Hydroponics-Based Agricultural Systems

Plans are drafted to have the agricultural buildings set up around the polar ice caps and other cold zones where frozen water exists. Using thermal rods to extract water, and feed it directly into hydroponics tech, your engineers are confident they can meet the needs of the population of the colonists with this method.

[Costs 4 Raw Metal, 1 Fuel, +1 Agricultural Capacity]

The Demurge simply shifted his weight, and smirked. "If you want to know so bad, you should just come here, in two standard periods. We'll have answers for you then. And if my word, or the word of my superiors means anything to you, we promise not to harm anyone who shows up." The Demurge's hands were raised as if surrendering with the last few words. His face was genuine as well, which was kind of unnerving to begin with. A tech checks the coordinates that pop up in the Nav Computer. "Ma'am, these are… This is where the civilians were going."

"The choice is yours Xintar pleb. Although for the sake of your friends, I suggest you at least give them warning."

The transmission cuts out shortly after, and surprisingly the uplink trunk self-destructs. The rest of the computer equipment is removable, and your techs believe they can learn a thing or two about Demurge computers, but they're hesitant to plug anything else in again.

Fluff: Solarians are a retiring race, tall and long limbed they rarely leave their systems for anything, Preferring their own systems and lands to exploration or the chaotic places away from them. In Fact the Huntress is a mothballed cruiser that was retired centuries ago, made during a more savage time. Indeed the only reason that she now moves is because of how desperate the destruction of their homeland has made their race. One would think an ancient Solarian Cruiser would be shoddy and worn, but it's not. Solarians ships while hard to repair were made to last and take lots of abuse. Solarians always did hate shoddy craftsmanship.

The huntress is a Standard Warring Era Cruiser, Armed with full weapon compliment and equipped with the crown jewel of Solarian wartech. The Battlemaster Control computer, Allowing the ship to strike often and with a accuracy against whatever foe it may encounter. The ship is however old and much of the knowledge to repair and maintain it has been lost, from age, neglect and death.

Racial Bonus: Solarian Taskmasters, Once per turn you may specify an action that you wish to "Hire Out" You may expend 2 of any resource to give +20 to that roll.

Racial Detractor: Aging Technology, You cannot repair your ships during combat. Instead spend 1 Action out of combat to repair a ship under your control to full. Repairing costs 5 Raw Metal and 3 Exotic Metal

Seeing that the native intelligence doesn't quite match ours, to a communicable level at least, the crew heads decide colonization of P2X0043 is a must, that we cannot wait for a clear answer from the reluctant natives. We dub the planet New Akranis, unload 4,500 civilian Akrans off the 11,950 strong colony barge, and set about to work agricultural aspects of the planet.

While the sentient life forms of New Akranis do seem quite dim, we decide that those observed capable of basic construction warrant further study. We dispatch a crew of diplomats to establish meaningful contact with them.

Looking towards the future, the crew heads bicker of what should be done. The most common answer is to "upgrade" our colony barge to something more manageable. It is decided against scrapping the ship, but new designs are rumored to be in the works already.

Free Action: Colonize New Akranis, 4,500 colonists.

Ship actions:

1- A permanent team of diplomats is sent to the fort-building natives of New Akranis, their mission: to establish a form of communication with the herders.

>Raiding: Fuel & Water

With any megacorp operation, infrastructure follows. In the Vindication Sector, the Megacorp war forced them to pour trillions of credits into creating hundreds of refueling stations. While automated, they hold and distribute a fair bit of material to the surrounding stations. However the ones you've found were cleared out, likely by the corps themselves.

>Construction: Research Facility

Zoning complaints come up about half way through construction, as the facilities power distribution overloads this section of the grid. Material that would have been put towards the facility is instead diverted to repairing the overloaded sections.

>Survey: Rememberance

Your crew pinpoints a river delta that the initial scans overlooked. With the specific focus on food production, the analysis nets your colony a recommendation moving forward, but it'll take some production to exploit, as the delta is heavily forested at the moment.

To put it simply, those with a LocalNet have essentially given you access to their data of their own volition.

Even with artificial gravity distortions applied, the waveform remained constant, giving your scientists the final data needed to complete the project. They report at the end of this standard period that they're ready to install the new FTL drive.

[Success - Ready for Prototyping]

>Mining: Exotic Metals

Your colonists take geological surveys for the better part of the standard period before determining the true worth of the planet. Several portions of the crust are split all the way to the mantle. While it would be difficult to mine them without specialized equipment, your colonists are confident they could get at the material if they could get a sizable investment first.

[Gain: Construction - Deep Core Drilling Rig, 5 Raw Metal, +1 Exotic Metal/turn on Structure]

>>7816

>Survey: Kalana

Your survey teams fan out from the colony, and one stumbles upon a river with a unique property. While it doesn't seem potable, due to the heavy metals in the water, it does seem to be a natural run-off stream from a cave with quite a few veins of ore. Your team believes with the proper construction, they can exploit the resources.

[Gain: Construction - Metallic Water Distillery, 3 Raw Metal, +1 Mining Capacity]

>Diplomacy: Communicate with Natives

Your diplomatic crew has made one hell of a fumble. While landing their shuttle near the fort, they failed to ensure the area is clear beneath them. A hunters lean-to is crushed, and the resulting chaos is enough to drive back your diplomats, some with injuries. While the poison they tipped their javelins with is relatively easy to remove, the farmers on the perimeter report increased clashes with the natives, predominately with what can only be described as cattle riders with torches. A few farms have been set fire to since the initial clashes, and it's cut into the bottom line of the agriculture production.

[Gain: Hostile Natives - Dirtwork Riders, -1 Agriculture Cap until Pacified]

>Research: "Guilty Thorn" Class Frigate

The proposed design is a highly agile frigate, designed from old blockade runner specs. Using publicly available data on the Enemy's combat capabilities, the design has been streamlined, giving it high agility, while still allowing it to sport a dual use slot for either combat or utility modules, in addition to the post-Enemy standardized weapon mounts.

[Gain: Research - "Guilty Thorn" Class Frigate, 5 Raw Metal, 5 Exotic Metal, 2 Fuel, +5 PRP, +1 Dual Combat/Utility Slot]

>Salvage: Supercarrier "Salvage Slurry"

In one of the larger stacks, it appears you've got a hold of an intact power core from a Demurge ship. While not currently active, its structure and components aren't out of your grasp of understanding, and with a little research, it's likely you could integrate it with future ship designs.

[Gain: Research - Demurge Cyclic Self-Propagating Power Generator, 4 Turns, 3 Raw Metal, 5 Exotic Metal, 2 Fuel]

>Construction: Colony Planning

Your crews set down at the proposed site and take the time to really knuckle down and make sure the site is ready for habitation. The work pays off, as the redesigned layout gives your colonists an edge in agricultural production, as a secondary soil layer turns out to exist under what was previously believed to be infertile soil.

[+1 Agriculture Capacity on Planet]

>Survey: Non-Colonizable Celestial Bodies

An otherwise unassuming moon in far orbit around your planet turns up some interesting results. While the distance of the orbit would otherwise make it a heliocentric orbit, the moon turns out to be primarily cavernous and hollow. It could feasibly serve as a habitat for the colony or an industrial hub, giving a boost to either Orbital Development Capacity or Population Capacity.

>Construction: Research Facility

Your construction crews have run into a snag. Somewhere along the production line, a series of metallic impurities were introduced. While this wasn't an issue for a majority of the facility, the supports and load-bearing structural components buckled as the facility neared completion. While nobody was killed in the incident, it's caused an uproar, and the relevant facilities have already been reprimanded and been given new quality standards.

>Mining: Fuel

Your crew makes off like bandits at a nearby gas giant, managing to haul off several units of nearly pure helium. About half a standard period later, the processing equipment has converted it to usable fuel.

>Mining: Fuel & Water

Unfortunately the best candidate for fuel & water resources turns out to be laden with a core of liquid nitrogen, which has saturated the planet's resources. It's a total wash of an operation, and leaves a few of your crew with frostbite, even through the suits.

>Survey: P2X8884

The underground river system is complex, but with the proper geo-sensing equipment, your crew is able to rough out a GIS system that gives them the ability to accurately predict the path of water flows under the surface. They manage to pin down a few aquifers where the water seems to collect and dissipate through the rock above. Drilling deep wells into these aquifers seems like the best course of action, and your teams draft a plan of attack for getting at the resources.

>Survey: Colonizable Planets

Your crew manages to find a few worlds that they could possibly settle on, one being more promising than the latter, in the system 31579 (see the first image in >>7807)

>P5X8831

A Volcanic planet, the surface is mostly open lava floes, with a few "dry" zones, safe for habitation. While the volcanic soil is likely suitable for farming, there's not a lot of it. The metals flow freely on the surface however, and are likely suitable for usage.

These quadrupeds are tribal in nature, but have a rudimentary mastery over the metals that show up in ore clumps near the few rocky portions of the terrain. It's going to be likely difficult to mine material with them competing however, unless you can figure some way to either appease them, or worst case scenario, eliminate them.

1/2/3. Baal does not chastise his people for poor luck. The crew is disheartened enough with dwindling supplies. He merely urges them to carry on with the scrounging of materials. fuel is badly needed, while water and food are steadily growing due to colonial output.

It's time for the mass production and deployment of the anti-aural dampeners, 8465 of them to be exact. Since the engineers and mass producers don't want to work in fractions, they decide that expending 8 raw metal (price-racial bonus) to create 9000 units with 535 in storage is the best way to go. Baal signs off on the project and the dampeners begin to roll off of the assembly lines.

In Fact the Huntress is a mothballed cruiser that was retired centuries ago, made during a more savage time. Indeed the only reason that she now moves is because of how desperate the destruction of their homeland has made their race.

The High Judge sat alone in his private quarters, the lavish interior contrasting with his disheveled and unkempt look. An empty Syringe sat by his forearm, a bright Lime film the only clue to it's contents.

Perhaps through a noble sense of duty, or a guilt driven fear to maintain order, the High Judge had been taking only the bare minimum Relaxinthesis requirements, and sometimes even less, in a punitive effort to sustain the ships supply. It showed. His head lolled, eyes lazily drifting across the paperwork before him as his body re-acclimatized to the calm state.

Bolstered by the steady supply of their soothing crutch, the Engineers had outdone themselves, designing a new Orbital Station that could harvest Exotic Metals at a much greater rate.

Still, to construct said station required some of the exotic metal itself. This material technically belonged to the Solarian Hegemony, as due their debt.

Should he send the Exotic Metal to the alien race, fulfilling their deal, or should he construct an Orbital Refinery, paying back the aliens in a future Standard Cycle?

He knew what was important to him, and that was his people. His people demanded growth to survive, so they would have it.

Your ship and scout shuttles have worked for almost fourteen straight days on 12 hour rotations trying to find raid targets. By the end of the standard period, they're haggard and tired, but no closer to a possible target.

[Failure]

>Research: Supercarrier Fighters

After the initial analysis, your researchers have determined that the enemy fighters are in fact complex drones, controlled by some sort of highly complex software link. However the actual command scheme is incredibly simple, albeit designed for previously believed impossibly low latency and accuracy. The Demurge likely controlled these using AI or other pure-computer systems.

[Success]

>Build Civilian Industrial Plant

After this incident, you feel like you're going to have those surveyors focus on the tectonics a little more closely. The building was receiving the final internal build out, when the entire shelf of rock cracked, and slid into the magma floes nearby. The building was salvageable, but most of the materials are in deep within the lava pools.

[Failure]

>>7938

>Construction: Floodplain Automated Farms

The floodplain seems to be surprisingly stable. Even with a few hiccups due to the unfamiliar tidal patterns, the automated farm is set up and seeded properly. Results should be visible from the next standard period.

[Success]

>Research: Optimized Supply Chains

Your researchers have begun aggregating data from around the colonies, provided through the LocalNet, and from local logistical officers. A pattern of the lack of integrated supply chains, and abuse of heavy shuttles for transporting light bulk material has given your researchers a lot to work with. Their solution is a light, fuel efficient cargo hauler drone, to be managed by a data center. They have two alternate versions of the center, for either orbital, or planetary construction, but the lead on the project has said he'll inform you when it's reached the stage for the decision to be made.

(Per Kefka, the Osralians are being abandoned. Resources accrued can be salvaged, if you can handle the new owner…)

In the night, the creature came. It stalked your perimeter guards until it had learned your patterns. And in the night it took you. One by one, the Osralians fell. When the alarms were sounded, it was already in the colony center. When your ship landed to reinforce the colony, it had already killed the magistrate. And when it found you, the Queen, on the bridge, its only indication of its presence was the opening and closing of the turbolift door.

[BAD END]

>>7940

>Construction: Orbital Refinery

Disaster struck during the construction of the refinery, as the crews were struck by a unknown, previously dormant pathogen from a crate of material. While the logistical origin of the crate is a mystery to your crew, it contained Exotic Metals, and the resulting tirade by the crew chief effectively shut down your ship's construction bay.

[Critical Failure - No Material Recovered]

>Construction: DSS Center

After word from the ship reached the colony, not a soul in the fleet would touch another container of material. Due to this, several metric tons of material were improperly handled, causing corrosion and adverse chemical reactions, rendering a majority of the material useless.

[Failure]

>>7941

>Survey: Mars Invictus

Your crew surveys the polar caps, but in the words of the chief science officer: "We've been here, we've done that, and not a damn thing has changed. Can we go home now? It's colder than my exwife's heart up here."

[Failure]

>>7942

>Construction: Military Base

The base was built almost overnight, as the construction crews fell into the age old rhythm of war-time production. By the end of the standard period, the base was up and operational, the officers ready to train fresh recruits from the cloning vats.

[Success]

>Mining: FUEL

While your crew chief was mildly amused by the logistical differences between Fuel and FUEL according to the computer, your crews managed to make off with a sizable haul by running their mining barge through binary star's lone gas giant orbiting it. The logistics team also got a kick out of the emphasized "FUEL"

scrawled haphazardly across the length of the tanks.

[+2 Fuel]

Name: The Daivin Unitatem

Species/Subspecies: Daivin, Kaivin, Zaivin, many more

Fluff: The Daivin Unitatem was created on the Unitatem homeworld of Daivin. An extremely empathic race of half mammalian have insectoid humanoids, the Unitatem believe that all must work together for the benefit of the whole. As such The Unitatem is entirely military, and its troops extremely skilled at ground combat and defensive combat. When it comes to war the Unitatem focus on speed and endurance, something their many subspecies show. The reason for having so many subspecies is due to an extreme genetic quirk. Upon finding an obstacle unsurmountable, the Unitatem breed and cause a new subspecied to be created to surpass that specific obstacle. The three major subspecies are The Daivin, meant specifically for infantry warfare and the general horrors of war, the Kaivin, genetically bred for the intricacies of space warfare and extraterrestrial activity, and the leaders of the race known as the Zaivin. The Zaivin direct the entire race, serving as its main force commanders and Scientist. The dozens of other subspecies have arisen due to a number of obstacles, such as understanding new types of sciences and more. Every Unitatem member considers themself part of the whole, and other than the color and insignia of their armor fulfill only the goals genetically made into them, and breeding more of their strain of a new strain of Unitatem. Upon joining the DCS they served as another wing of its military and throughout, benefitting the larger whole whereever they could. The race prospered, and their numbers reached massive proportions.

Then the enemy attacked. When they did the Unitatem lost all contact with the rest of the DCS, and quickly began to percieve their homeworld and planets as the main whole. They adapted and fought the enemy both in space and on land, every action coordinated, every challenge causing a new subspecies to be bred. After almost an entire year of war, most of which was defensive or retreating actions, the remaining battle hardened forces of the Unitatem arrived in the Lao sho cluster by sheer luck, having escaped the enemy and searching for another sector to begin building their defensive. Now they begin the mandatory breeding process so as to create dozens or even hundreds of new strains to replace the thousands of old ones lost…

Racial Bonus: Hypermorphic Biology - Stressors and adversity skew your breeding habits. As such your population doesn't have normal breeding habits, rather they have what some outside races call "angry fornication". After a failed roll, you may gain 500 population OR gain +10 to a similar action roll. You do not gain population normally.

Racial Detractor: Wars of Attrition Harm All - Your race has fought tooth and nail for survival, even in the face of the Enemy's advance. However their leaders fear for the end game, and for the successive military actions that may lead to their doom. After each combat engagement, roll 1d100. On a 40 or less, you suffer -20 to all combat rolls until the end of the next engagement.

1,2,3. The final Unitatem ship Loyalty Until Death soars through space, its powerful engines carrying it through the Lao Sho Nebula. Built so as to be dangerous to its very crew, the ship rumbles as its powerful guns point out into the void. Onboard the many Zaivin leaders talk and plan, examining the worlds of the system. Finding that the DCS still exist aftivates their instincts, and it isnt long before the entire crew of 2000 prepares to rejoin the whole, and rebuild their numbers. But first…they need a world to settle…

>Colonize: P3X0845, "Ne'bwar, First Seed"

Your crew sets down on the planet in a fervor. There's crying and laughter heard for days after the first construction ships begin fabricating the first habitats and industry centers. As work begins among the populace, the sense of jubilation turns into a massive increase in effectiveness among all sectors of labor. The rewards of their efforts go into their own pockets, and that of their families, and its fueling their ethic. With the excess, your magistrate has come to you with a request for orders moving forward, as it seems like the happiness will last for quite awhile.

You begin making the series of jumps to the site, and your navigator informs you as you're underway that with the route they've picked, it will take a standard period to arrive.

>Diplomacy: Civilian Fleet Warning

Your comms officer relays the data and transcript of the conversation you and the Demurge had, with emphasis on the possibility of negotiation and diplomacy with them. While it's a subspace shot in the dark, you're not sure if it arrived. After a period of silence, your comms officer recommends trying again once T'Kin'Tekra is closer.

>Raid: Researchers

Your crew manages to pin down another research station, likely armed, AGAIN. And almost as if there's a pattern to this madness, as soon as you board, and ascertain the location of the researchers, the station begins to go critical. Your boarding party doesn't manage to make it out this time.

The maintenance crew is infuriated at the suggestion that they've allowed the ship to leak power, especially with the restrictions on power consumption. Never the less, your crews make a thorough recheck and double check of the systems. Not a single discrepancy can be found.

[Failure]

>Survey: Fuel Sources

Your survey teams stake out some locations with underground oil deposits, reminiscent of the industrial era on your own home world. While the tech is still used and improved today, or at least it was, it's going to be tricky reinventing thousands of years of geological data and specialization to crack at it. That said, the refinery techniques have come a long way since the birth of industry, and well-processed oil can in fact be used to power your ships, however it's horribly inefficient.

In Fact the Huntress is a mothballed cruiser that was retired centuries ago, made during a more savage time. Indeed the only reason that she now moves is because of how desperate the destruction of their homeland has made their race.

Name: Arduari

Species/Subrace: Human…ish

DCS Member Species (Y/N): Yes

Fluff: Human in most aspects, the Arduari diverged after long periods on their desert homeworld of Ghandar. Their skin became pale and slightly leathery, with hair present only on the face and head. Their eyes also took an odd, blueish glow due to constant exposure to the radiation of Ghandar's twin suns. Their life was a nomadic one, travelling the desert, conserving water religiously, hunting what they can and fiercely opposing trespassers.

The history of the Arduari is a tale of hardship. Their homeworld was a blasted, sand-choked desert under the iron grip of the Slathi Empire, and a mass exodus (Fwadiyah) during the invasion of the Enemy was their only salvation. But even that proved a curse. Unused to space travel, they wandered aimlessly. The DCS admitted them as a member when they joined the Great Fleet, seeking a new homeland. The Enemy was sundered, if only briefly, and now at last they have a chance. They are used to betrayal and oppression - the sand shifts, the heat smothers. The only constant is the land. Now they must find a new Oudi, a new Homeland. Defiance is strength. Unity is survival. To wander is to live. The Arduari will persevere.

1 - Long have we subsisted off our own hands, our own works. The land has given little, and we have needed to work every moment to take what we can. Even during the Jwidan, the Occupation, the Slathi forced us into constant labor. But now, a way to alleviate that work. It ought to be a godsend, but many are… wary. Is this the right path for us? The road of mechanization? It would make our lives easier, and we could fare better among the interstellar giants of the day. But at what price does this come? Do we lose ourselves, the essence of the Arduari, by doing so?

This is an unfamiliar home, a new seed, a new start. We cannot afford any less. Be this a change, we can only hope it is a change for the better.

>[Research Labor Drones]

2/3 - The price of these drones has made clear our limited resources. Even rationing, ingenuity and balancing cannot protect from the inevitable decline of goods.

Free Action: Open up another Trade hub in our system.

1) One of the biggest worries held by the Consortium board members is that we are technologically weaker than the Enemy in almost all aspects. Only with a truly large force can we even fight them on equal terms and that itself is still very questionable. Until we are sufficently powerful. it will be suicide to deal with the Enemy in combat but perhaps we can simply avoid combat in the first place? Project SPIRIT hopes to rectify this by producing a working stealth field in two versions, one for our ships and one for our ground troops. This way, we can avoid combat whenever possible when facing the Enemy and if we can avoid the gaze of our fellow allies, that is only better.

2) We are to depart immediately from our System to the coordinates given to us by the these two great humans, a true credit to their race. It should be noted that we will wait at a rendevous point before heading anywhere for the two contracted escort ships to arrive from the Diamond Empire and the Solarians.

Name: The Daivin Unitatem

Species/Subspecies: Daivin, Kaivin, Zaivin, many more

Fluff: The Daivin Unitatem was created on the Unitatem homeworld of Daivin. An extremely empathic race of half mammalian half insectoid humanoids, the Unitatem believe that all must work together for the benefit of the whole. As such The Unitatem is entirely military, and its troops extremely skilled at ground combat and defensive combat. When it comes to war the Unitatem focus on speed and endurance, traits their many subspecies inherit on a physical and mental level. The reason for having so many subspecies is due to an extreme genetic quirk. Upon finding an obstacle insurmountable, the Unitatem breed and cause a new subspecies to surpass that specific obstacle. The three major subspecies are The Daivin, meant specifically for infantry warfare and the general horrors of war, The Kaivin, genetically bred for the intricacies of space warfare and extraterrestrial activity, and the leaders of the race known as The Zaivin. The Zaivin direct the entire race, serving as its main force commanders and Scientist. The dozens of other subspecies have arisen due to a number of obstacles, such as understanding new types of sciences and more. Every Unitatem member considers themself part of the whole, and other than the maintaining the color and insignia of their armor fulfill only the goals genetically made into them, and breeding more of their strain or a new strain of Unitatem. Upon joining the DCS they served as another wing of its military and throughout, benefitting the larger whole whereever they could. The race prospered, and their numbers reached massive proportions.

Then the enemy attacked. When they did the Unitatem lost all contact with the rest of the DCS, and quickly began to percieve their homeworld and planets as the main whole. They adapted and fought the enemy both in space and on land, every action coordinated, every challenge causing a new subspecies to be bred. After almost an entire year of war, most of which was defensive or retreating actions, the remaining battle hardened forces of the Unitatem arrived in the Lao sho cluster by sheer luck, having escaped the enemy and searching for another sector to begin building their defensive. Now they begin the mandatory breeding process so as to create dozens or even hundreds of new strains to replace the thousands of old ones lost…

Racial Bonus: Hypermorphic Biology - Stressors and adversity skew your breeding habits. As such your population doesn't have normal breeding habits, rather they have what some outside races call "angry fornication". After a failed roll, you may gain 500 population OR gain +10 to a similar action roll. You do not gain population normally.

Racial Detractor: Wars of Attrition Harm All - Your race has fought tooth and nail for survival, even in the face of the Enemy's advance. However their leaders fear for the end game, and for the successive military actions that may lead to their doom. After each combat engagement, roll 1d100. On a 40 or less, you suffer -20 to all combat rolls until the end of the next engagement.

The High Judge is devastated at the loss of the Materials, but takes the time to visit the men in the sick bay, if only briefly. With a steady inflow of Relaxinthesis, he and everyone aboard the ship are in much better moods. Still, the loss of the metal was a grave and terrible blow to them, as it delayed the payment of the debt to the Solarians. Hopefully, their long-lives meant they were exceedingly patient.

1. Planetary Action:

Reattempt construction on that Orbital Mining Facility! We have advanced Tech, we need to use it! [-3 Metal, -1 Exotic Metal]

2. Ship Action:

This Fuel Scoop technology is marvelous. It allows our ship to gather all the necessary fuel it needs for it's necessary use. A pity it cannot produce a surplus… Or can it?

Research Improved Fuel Scoop.

>>8060

Send the Mettaloid species the following Tech as per our agreement. Their species requires a steady supply of Exotic Metal, so this is much needed for them.

- Research: Efficient Model - Orbital Refinery

# [Gain: High-Automation Orbital Refinery - 3 Raw Metal, 1 Exotic Metal, +3 Exotic Metal per turn on Structure]

>>8083

As agreed the shipment of Raw Metals are on their way and we will have the Exotic Metal delivered as soon as we can.

>>7944

>Diplomacy: Recruit Civilian Colonists

Your offers don't go unanswered, and by the end of the standard period, a list of 1500 souls are prepared to colonize a world of your choosing

>Research: Demurge Power Source

Interestingly enough, the Demurge power core seems to be akin to a nuclear breeder reactor, however instead of creating fissionable material, the reactor generates exotic particles that are allowed to decay in a shielded field, thereby generating massive amounts of electricity. The particle stream could also in theory be directed towards weapon systems, should the proper mounts be available. While the Ferdinand wouldn't be able to take advantage of this possibility, it's likely ships designed with this core in mind could have conduits to support ancillary functions.

[Success]

>Mining: Comets, Asteroids, et al.

Your crews efforts are well rewarded, as they generate sizable resources from only a few expeditions.

[+4 Raw Metal, +2 Exotic Metal]

>>8054

>Survey: Colonized Planet

While there were gray-areas in the scans done by the initial survey team, your ground teams get to work clearing them. By the end of the standard period, the data is cataloged, but nothing of import is found.

[Failure]

>Mining: Asteroids

Your crews make a huge blunder. Late into the standard period, they find an asteroid with magnesium deposits. Rather than carefully cutting it out with lasers which takes time, they attempt to cut it with power tools. A pile of flakes ends up coalescing under the rock, and after a stray spark lands on the deck, the entire mining barge's intake goes up in flames. While nobody was hurt, it's going to take some resources to get repairs underway.

[-3 Raw Metal]

>>8055

>Diplomacy: Forewarning

Your message makes it to the rest of the fleet, finally. However the military wing is largely absent, off chasing a Megacorp cache. You look at the reply in horror as the coordinates match the ones given to you by the Demurge.

[Success]

>Engineering: Boost FTL

Your crews manage to make some improvements, which may or may not eventually burn out the engine. For now though, it appears you're in the clear.

(You will reach the destination at the end of this turn)

[Success]

>>8056

>Research: Optimized Supply Chains

A group of researchers in the laboratory began running some numbers about midway through the standard period. The results of their proofs show a flaw in the logistical calculations, which forces the team to retconn the weeks research to compensate.

[Failure]

>Military: Escort the Consortium Flagship

The approach on the Megacorp station is all clear to your sensors. Comms traffic with the civilian fleet is problematic however, as you can't keep a stable link.

>>8057

(Please include your population statistics in your stats, especially colony population)

>Research: Labor Drones

Your research teams aboard your ship begin work on the labor drones, and make surprising progress.

[Success]

>Diplomacy: Natives

The only response your people get is either being pelted by sharp rocks, or the complete disappearance of the native population as soon as you step foot into their territory. Neither bodes well.

[Failure x2]

>>8060

>Military: Escort

Your ship escorts the Consortium ship to the location. However midway, you receive a message from the Xintar Autocracy, by way of the Civilian Fleet. They detail an encounter with the Demurge, and a location for a "peaceful meeting". Promises aside, what concerns you is the location of the proposed meet. It's the same as the coordinates provided by the two entrepreneurs to the Consortium.

[Success]

>Salvage: Osralian Colony

The ship is in orbit, but offline. The drives and power cores normally continuously active are dead silent, and the ship is in a semi-stable orbit. However the disturbing reading from the sensors is the lack of any life-signs aboard the ship. Your combat boarding teams manage to breach and clear the hangar bay, and gain control of the ship.

[Gain: Abandoned Osralian Ship]

>Construction: Local Market Center

The market is a roaring success, and after it's declared open, your starports find themselves inundated with traders and civilians from other colonies looking to find much needed essentials.

[Success]

>>8061

>Survey: Colonizable Planet

Your haggard crews survey 9575, looking for habitable worlds. They manage to find only one that meets the criteria.

>P3X6874

A Terran planet, this planet is one of the few potentials in the system with atmosphere. However it is incredibly lush, with a properly tilted axis, barely eccentric orbit, and a booming ecology.

Population Capacity: 5

Agriculture Capacity:6

Mining Capacity: 4

Planetary Development Capacity: 3

Orbital Development Capacity: 3

>>8062

>Research: SPIRIT Cloaking System

Your researchers are a bit befuddled when given the task of building a stealth system to counter the enemy. While LADAR is easy enough to camouflage a ship from, ancillary sensors on ships of a wide variety have often rendered most stealth systems useless. Without a sample of Enemy sensor tech, they worry about the effectiveness, however using general stealth techniques, they might be able to figure out a working prototype.

[3 Turns, Requires Enemy Sensor Array Analysis, 8 Exotic Metal, Gives -80 to hit for all enemies while active. Costs 1 fuel per 3 rounds.]

(Your second action will be handled at the end of the turn in a separate post)

>>8068

>Military: Escort

Your ship flies alongside the other Military Wing ships escorting the Consortium Flagship to the location. You too receive the communique from the Xintar Autocracy, detailing the potential Demurge threat to the site.

[Success]

>Construction: Orbital Refinery

The construction goes off without a hitch, giving your colonists a much needed boost of confidence.

[Success]

>>8070

>Research: Underground Military Base

Shielded and reinforced in design, the initial plans look to be highly advantageous to any ground forces defending the facility and by extension, the planet. However it's going to take some time to come up with the internal layout and logistical plan to maintain this facility.

[3 Turns, 6 Raw Metal, 2 Exotic Metal, Inherits from Military Base, +4 DEF to defending ground forces]

>Research: Deep Core Mining Rig

Your researchers are a bit baffled by the issues arising from the high heat requirements below ground, and the low temperature requirements above ground. The materials science crew tried and failed several times to find a proper solution this standard period.

[Failure]

>>8073

(This falls under Construction)

The Bido begin growing the creep production organ on the superstructure of the dead space station, which acts as a strong reinforcer for the structure, giving it an increased rate of production.

Your population capacity on all worlds is determined by the creep spread. All worlds you colonize begin with 1 Population Cap, regardless of the roll, with a maximum of 10. You gain +1 population cap per 3 turns per creep producer on the world. Creep producers cost 4 Food & 3 Raw Metal to create.

[Success]

>>8296

I immediately warn the other escorts and the Consortium that we are potentially walking into a trap.

>>8082

>Construction: Orbital Mining Facility

One failure was bad enough, but this is a catastrophe. A miscalculated orbit put the station in a collision course with a massive asteroid with a dense metallic core. There was no forewarning as the asteroid slammed into the construction tug, killing nearly everyone on board.

[-100 Population on Colony, no resources recovered.]

>Research: Improved Fuel Scoop

Your researchers begin theorizing about how to improve the efficiency of the fuel scoop. While primarily it was used to make the ship self sustainable, It could be more effective if actively employed during fuel mining operations.

[Gain: Research - Improved Fuel Scoop, Gives +2 Fuel from successful Fuel Mining actions, 4 Exotic Metal, requires Fuel Scoop]

>>8227

(Note you haven't completed research for the Reactor yet, continuing as if you're working on the reactor research)

>Research: Demurge Reactor

After doing a soft test on the salvaged reactor, a problem arises. The Demurge obviously have a unique understanding of particle physics, as the reactor defies the current understanding of how exotic particles interact. It seems like there's going to be a bit of standards rewriting before you can properly harness this.

[Failure, +1 turn to Completion]

>Construction: Space Elevator

Tethers to orbital stations are not a new concept, in fact they're as old as space travel itself. However recent materials advances within the past 200 years have made considerable advances in the practicality of an elevator. Before the Invasion, they were fairly common place, so replicating them is an easy task. However they're not cheap.

[Success, -5 Raw Metal, -6 Exotic Metal, Upkeep for Planetary & Orbital structures increases every 3 structures vs every 2]

>>8279

>Research: Improved Tactical Control

When given the option of picking several different weapons types to improve, your lead Researcher took a step back. They had already made improvements in the background to the weapons systems to better combat the Enemy. However it seems that they've neglected something along the way. CIC has stagnated, and the bridge controls are very dated. It doesn't take long before you're presented with plans for a new CIC, While the previous CIC was designed for operations with much larger ships doing most of the computationally heavy lifting, this Post-Invasion Command and Control, as the researchers dubbed it, works in a mesh style system. For each ship that is running this, the fleet as a whole benefits proportionally, increasing the accuracy and responsiveness of their weapons systems.

[Research: Post-Invasion Command and Control, +5 to-hit per ship in engagement with PS-CIC installed for all ships in fleet, 4 Turns, 3 Exotic Metal, Uses Combat Slot]

>Construction; Orbital Mining Facility

With the news of all the failed construction attempts at building orbital facilities making their way through the fleets, it takes a lot of convincing to get your people to start on a Orbital Mining Facility. The foreman on the project is so perturbed by the request amidst all the faitalities, that he puts the facility a good 100km from the belt itself. But it's all for naught.. As your ships begin to move into the belt, a solar flare cooks up from the sun. There's enough time for the crew to get to the shuttles and get clear, but the flare rips through the reactor, almost dead center, destroying the facility.

[Critical Failure, no materials recovered]

>>7934

>Mining/Salvage: Fuel

It's not every day your crew finds a refinery ship out in the black. Even less so that it is not only in tact, but in good enough condition to move. A skeleton crew climbs aboard, and commandeers it. It appears the previous crew abandoned it, likely in the face of Demurge patrols. The shuttles are gone, but the tanks are full, and the ship is in working order.

[Gain: UHL Omicron - Refinery Class, 0/6/2 50%, +20 to Fuel Production actions & +2 Fuel generated per action, +4 Fuel]

In Fact the Huntress is a mothballed cruiser that was retired centuries ago, made during a more savage time. Indeed the only reason that she now moves is because of how desperate the destruction of their homeland has made their race. One would think an ancient Solarian Cruiser would be shoddy and worn, but it's not. Solarians ships while hard to repair were made to last and take lots of abuse. Solarians always did hate shoddy craftsmanship.

Name: Arduari

Species/Subrace: Human…ish

DCS Member Species (Y/N): Yes

Fluff: Human in most aspects, the Arduari diverged after long periods on their desert homeworld of Ghandar. Their skin became pale and slightly leathery, with hair present only on the face and head. Their eyes also took an odd, blueish glow due to constant exposure to the radiation of Ghandar's twin suns. Their life was a nomadic one, travelling the desert, conserving water religiously, hunting what they can and fiercely opposing trespassers.

The history of the Arduari is a tale of hardship. Their homeworld was a blasted, sand-choked desert under the iron grip of the Slathi Empire, and a mass exodus (Fwadiyah) during the invasion of the Enemy was their only salvation. But even that proved a curse. Unused to space travel, they wandered aimlessly. The DCS admitted them as a member when they joined the Great Fleet, seeking a new homeland. The Enemy was sundered, if only briefly, and now at last they have a chance. They are used to betrayal and oppression - the sand shifts, the heat smothers. The only constant is the land. Now they must find a new Oudi, a new Homeland. Defiance is strength. Unity is survival. To wander is to live. The Arduari will persevere.

>Racial Bonus: Water Conservationists: Your crew is familiar with the innate requirements of desert life, and have translated them aptly to space travel. As such you may pay Food or Water upkeep costs with either resource

Having such a failure with the natives seen capable of construction is somewhat of a pity. We shall leave them alone for now. Our attention is turned to the spitting lifeforms. A new, more analytical team of diplomats and scientists shall be sent to the spitters. We will, of course, bring metal for them to spit on.

Focusing on the new colony, it has been decided that with the recent success in frigate design, a light shipyard will be created.

1. It’s a strange thing to command, and an uncomfortable thing, but Baal-Kin-Kar has never shrunk from doing things that others may think odd in order to help his people.

“This is Baal. I would like to remind every Rawl-Kin citizen that it is their duty to replenish losses inflicted upon the fleet. So, get to it…”

The captain hangs up the intercom, uncomfortable in the extreme.

[Procreate]

2. It's time for the mass production and deployment of the anti-aural dampeners, 8465 of them to be exact. Since the engineers and mass producers don't want to work in fractions, they decide that expending 8 raw metal (price-racial bonus) to create 9000 units with 535 in storage is the best way to go. Baal signs off on the project and the dampeners begin to roll off of the assembly lines.

>Research: Deep Core Mining Rig

Your research teams have been arguing with the survey crews for the better part of the standard period. Apparently the survey results were inaccurate, as the composition of the core samples they gave them, and the data they received with them didn't match. The rest of the period was spent re-surveying the core zones, costing valuable time and resources.

MEMORANDUM FOR Unitatem Command

FROM: RICO 1-1, Shuttle Crew Chief

SUBJECT: After Action Report,

1. This after action report is prepared IAW XXXX

2. The following is information regarding the contingency itself:

Deployed Location: P3X8848 Grid 0841-6894

Deployed CCOs: Ares, Predator, Sidval, Kaivek

Duration of Site Survey: 3 Local Days (.43 Standard Period)

Duration of Deployment: 3 Local Days (.43 Standard Period)

Operational Ingress: Deployed forces 4 km from original LZ. Scattered debris and general disarray impeded landing, forced to rope in all squads. Motion sensors detected rapid movement, upwards of 30m/s at ground level. Ares took point after confirming motion detector readings from weapon-mounted detectors. Ares reported contact shortly after, Sidval & Kaivek engaged while Predator provided rear security.

Communications blackout occurred 3 minutes into the engagement. Visual tracking of Ares & co. lost shortly after, as unknown enemy contacts flanked them, forcing them to regroup in a building near by. Sounds of small-arms fire and other weapons were heard for an additional 15 minutes. After 20 minutes since loss of contact, regained visual contact on rooftop of Ares squad survivor. Could not attain radio contact, however Ares used signal lights to request immediate extraction. RICO 1-2 moved in to assist while RICO 1-1 kept over-watch. Small arms fire from within building erupted as RICO 1-2 reached the extraction position. Ares squad was eliminated in the attempt to rescue by enemy small arms fire. RICO 1-2 CC reported "shard-like" rounds being fired by crystalline enemies. Detonation occured shortly after message reciept of #2 engine on RICO 1-2. Complete loss of aircraft shortly after. RICO 1-1 Flight Lead called abort, recalled to jump range and proceeded with RTB.

Recommendation: Site is incredibly hostile. Reccommend FLEETCOM approve orbital bombardment of the target. Enemy ground forces are highly mobile and effective.

[Critical Failure - No survivors]

>Construction: Underground Military Base

A misplaced support vehicle for the construction crews caused the collapse of a major section of the caverns. Work was shifted to re-excavating the zone and searching for survivors. The materials used for the base were unsalvageable, as a magma vein that was supposed to be used as power, instead flooded the remaining sections of the complex.

[Critical Failure - No Resources Recovered]

Your pair of ships stand at the ready, or at least attempt to. The overtaxing of your reactor and drive systems has caused some readiness issues, something your chief engineer is adamant he warned you about. While your crew is working diligently to fix them, suffice it to say it's going to be awhile before you're at full strength.

[-15 to combat rolls for the first 4 turns of the next engagement, Critical Failure]

>Research: Lattice Computing

Your lead researcher starts out his report sheepishly admitting that your crew is in over their heads with Demurge tech, however, the practical repair and maintenance skills picked up from the Fire of the Heavens is making up part of the deficiencies. His demeanor changes when he gets to explaining the tech itself. While most computers run on a synchronized clock, meaning they execute actions simultaneously across the chip, the Lattice is purely optical, allowing for the chip to segment itself into sub-sections to handle complex tasks. While this doesn't mean much to you in the technical sense, as he starts to get to applications, you understand. The chip acts as a silicate brain, using light instead of electricity, meaning, theoretically, an entire brain could be contained on the system. A step towards AI?

While they're not officially listed as fleet members, these gangs have lived through hell, and are beginning to establish a hub for their forces moving forward. Trade has already picked up among the colonies in the few standard periods they've been formed, and with trade routes come piracy. FTL piracy is a careful game of intelligence and ambushes. When the popularly elected leader of the "Wasters" hears through backchannels that you're looking for a few good men, his bad boys hop to, knowing full and well that your ship has fought the Demurge and won.

>Military: Patrol Megacorp Station

It was a flicker. A millisecond where the LADAR didn't return all clear. But your systems caught it. It only took a few more passes to realize what it was. A therm-optically camouflaged ship, likely no bigger than a corvette. And it was close. Incredibly close. Your crew snapped to high alert, and readied weapons, passing the data to the fleet. As the fleet began using the new scanning pattern you used to find it, several more show up on sensors. It's then that the Demurge fleet decloaks, black as the space around you. They number 8 in total, a pinwheel around the station. But they do not fire. Instead a channel is opened to your ship, audio only.

>Answer it

>Military: Clear Station for Salvage and Recovery Ops.

Your squads fan out, working in tight groupings, going to room to room. Once they clear the rooms of enemies, tech teams clear them of booby traps and other technical hazards, of which there are many. It's not until your crew is deep within the facility that they take fire from live targets. A group of Demurge foot soldiers, all DCS races with grotesque augments and heavy weapons, come barreling down the main causeway, taking your squads by surprise. Attempting to retreat, they work back in an orderly fashion, 2/3rds of a squad covering, while the other 1/3rd peels off. However the Enemy forces them into a choke. It's an absolute slaughter.
