2210.06.16 - 2213.11.05 The UN adopts an advertising campaign to glorify living a life out on the frontier for those tired of life on Earth.  The Turmexians colonize Ujqiohr, possibly as a response to the UN's rapid colonizing of two worlds in such a short time.  Potti's pirates are spotted again in the Sirius system, and the 1st Fleet is ordered to intercept. Dr. Batista, hearing of this, finishes work on Ion Thrusters and begins working on toughening the defenses of military ships.  During a conversation with the Trinikans, they tell us they just met and subsequently signed a non-aggression treaty with the Kitsu.  The first real test of the Anaconda fleet begins.  With only one ship lost, Admiral Judith Lewinson makes quick work of the pirates. One of Earth's more sensationalist newspapers carries the headline "Navy Flushes Potti."  On Earth, a new party arises. Named the Xeno Aid Forum, it states its goals as keeping peaceful diplomatic relations with other empires. With enough habitable worlds discovered, the scientific community is excited with all the new data acquired. A museum dedicated to exoplanetary life forms is dedicated in Houston.  The Kitsu and the Trinikans join the multi-planet club.  Dr. Dietrich is dispatched to recover the wreckage from the pirate ships near Sirius III. He discovers components not of Human design on them -- in fact, a large piece of debris, thought to be a part of some sort of energy field generator, has Turexmian writing on it.  A project begins to reverse-engineer this technology.  Terra Nova is now considered officially colonized.  Dr. Dietrich stumbles across a pirate station on an asteroid on the Hras system, and the 1st Fleet is dispatched to bring the inhabitants to justice.  After fleeing Hras, Dr. Dietrich discovers evidence of precursor artifacts on the asteroid VGVV-M31-M31 in the Faranou System. "Was this empire -- the First League, as my xenolinguistics expert calls it -- one of the participants in the ancient battle above Procyon II? Further research is needed."  Dr. Fehér, after finishing her paper on Galactic Ambitions, asks her group what they can do about the food "crisis" the UN keeps slipping in and out of.  On Faranou I, Dr. Dietrich discovers an ancient temple. "Was this some sort of religion in the First League?" he asks in his report back to Earth. "Who were these 'Johdees?'"  The pirate base in the Hras system is no more, and its treasures are added to the UN's treasury.  The UN's diplomats are ejected from Turexmian space, and they close their borders. The UN reacts in turn, blocking any Turexmian vessels from entering UN territory. The word "buzzards" becomes a popular slur against the Turexmians, and debates are held over whether to build a "sensor wall" on the border. GENERAL ASSEMBLY  Complaints have been made by the populace of our inhabited planets that the UN is focusing too much on space and not paying enough attention on planetside matters. Assembly members figure they can't sit on this problem and start making proposals about what to build. (Note: Our food production is -0.25/month, meaning pop growth is stopped because the food stockpile is no longer at its cap.)

We need farms to be our immediate priority. If our population can't eat they can't do anything else either. In light of growing tensions with the Buzzards I suggest we rival them and develop our fleet in preparation for their inevitable declaration of war.

In the face of this prolonged economic weakness caused by Turex greed and their monopolistic cartels it is only natural that our own working families be given relief. For too long the hours our men and women worked, the wages they received, the conditions of their labor—these had passed beyond the control of our people, and were imposed by this new interstellar dictatorship. Turexmian owes us Tribute.

2213.11.05 - 2218.03.18 Construction of farms begin on both Earth and Terra Nova. Food production quickly returns to a surplus.  Spider World is now within the UN's borders, but some wonder if the resources the frontier station uses are worth it.  Admiral Lewinson becomes adept at stretching her fleet's supplies. The Anaconda fleet is refurbished to include more armor. More ships are being built as well.  Dr. Batista begins work on constructing better spaceports, with the possibility of eventually designing spaceports that can hold larger ships than the Anaconda-class.  Upon translating the name of one of the Turexmians' survey ships, Dr. Zhivenkov bursts out into laughter.  President Muwanga begins to become a little more discriminating on nominating candidates for government positions. (This gives us a +1 bonus on new leaders at the cost of a 25% hiring cost increase, but since we are often hitting the Influence cap, I personally don't think it's a big deal.)  Dr. de la Cruz begins research on how to optimize power generation and storage, while Dr. Fehér begins on designing new laboratories dedicated to xenobiological research.  Dr. Dietrich notices an ancient weapons installalation on the tomb world of Maretisda III. "We can refit these to work again," he notes, "if we can ever set foot on this irradiated hellhole."  After researching the fourth planet in the Maretisda system, he adds "Whoever created this planet and the weapons installation would have been like gods."  When visiting Malperion, the Kitsu ambassador states that they would like to enter into a free immigration treaty. It is accepted. Humans who emigrate to Kitsu worlds are warned to duck when going through doorways designed for the shorter Kitsu.  Cleanup of the last few industrial wastelands on Earth begins. GENERAL ASSEMBLY We've hit the Unity cap again, and we have two Traditions left in Expansion, so we'll adopt the one chosen now and take the final one the next time we hit the cap. Which do we take first:
Also, let's start discussion on what we want out of a war with the Buzzards.

A Courier Network is the better choice. What value owning a larger slice of space if we can't effectively govern it? As for the buzzards, we should not fire the first shots, lest we become tyrants ourselves, but when they inevitably kick off, we should vassalize them with the goal of re-educating their populace into eventually becoming full citizens of our peaceful collective of sapients.

As much as I dislike the Buzzards, the simple truth is they're far too close. Evan as a vassal or liberated state, they'd cramp our style. We have to Annex them, else we'll be surrounded by Buzzard offshoots.

Repeated my vote force vassalizing as a Tributary. Our fleets will be no match for theirs if we go against their home starport, but if we strike quick we can take their new planets before they are defended and get enough warscore for tribute. That strategy should work for vassalizing too.

The best protection for the coreward flank is abutting the core, which we would do if we annexed them. As a tributary they could still allow hostile fleets access.
