Research - Engineering. newly habitable planets and resources will help military, industrial, and research applications more generally applicable to anything that can pop up.

Diplomacy: attempt to access space through Psilon space, we're on good terms with the cats already and I doubt neutrality is going to last forever so formal alliance, intelligence work because of COURSE everyone is going to spy on everyone. Information is power, and I'm sure our allies will appreciate the Human Republic being powerful enough to assist them.

Space Fleet: strategic core deployment since we just finished a war and things seem quiet. Let's grab some more space while people are so far on decent terms with us. Plus we've got a lot of space. If people attack us now, we have the planets and resources to rebuild and push them back, unlike when the Bears ambushed us.

Colonization: Saltator IV - let's get in on the core before the space Gold Rush starts.

So whats the cancer rate like on irradiated planets?

Edit: Oh wait a Formal Alliance will mean instant war with the Klackons huh. Well I guess we can toss some ships to help still while deploying the others to the Core.

How bad are the Myrrans losing?

The cancer rate is not as bad as you might expect, largely because colonisation on irradiated planets involves digging full cities deep into the rock to protect the inhabitants from radiation exposure. Having cities as buried warrens brings its own problems, but excessive radiation exposure for those who aren't having to go to the surface for things requiring it is not one of them.

It's difficult to tell just how badly the Mrrshan are losing, as we don't exactly have observers in place to see how the battle lines fare. That said, it's fairly clear just from relative power ratings and economy sizes that the Mrrshan are struggling from a severe disadvantage. We can get alliance with the Mrrshan relatively cheaply- they'll want a bit of technology to bolster their position, and considering how they're currently dead last, this is hardly going to be too dangerous to us. On the other hand, even getting a non-aggression pact with the Psilons (which is necessary to start talking about open borders with them) will require us giving them Battloids and 72 TC a year for 20 years, which is... a hefty bite out of our economy.

A non-aggression pact with the Meklar Combine would cost us teaching them Moon Laboratory, which I actually think would be a very reasonable price for securing our driftward frontier against the Meklars deciding to try something and ensuring stronger relations with them in the future.

Well the Psilons can come slowly. No rush on that front.

It seems impolite to let our trade partners wither and die, which the Mrrshans probably literally will if they get taken over. I'm going to stick with my vote. At best we'll have a steadfast ally and trade partner. At worse, a buffer state.

I am not in favor of giving them the tech. We can always re-propose later when we're on better standing and fortify the border. But I don't want to gie htem a major research leg up when our advantage atm is technological.

But they will not catch up at this point barring a Black Swan Event at which point we're probably already in deep poo poo. Your choice though.

In that case, changing my vote. Approve on giving them the tech in return for a Non-Aggression pact.

I'm dumb. I don't know the state of the Meklar technology. I thought it was referring to the Myyrshans.

If our fleet is still intact, and we have crushed the majority of their fleet assets, as nweismuller believes, we should press the advantage while we can.
