Update 2: First Colony, First Contact... First Casualties
Wow, I played the game for an hour or so earlier and things are really hotting up already, you will see the Roorea Prime Nation has already experienced contact with a hostile Alien race that has a military over 40 times more powerful than its own, as well as some other interesting incidents in this update.
Stardate: 2754.02.06
Roughly only one month after we last checked in with the Nation an Alien ship has been sighted:
Stardate 2754.02.16
[Excerpt from R.P.N.M.I.H.H. (Roorea Prime Nation Ministry of Information and Human History) official documents]: "The Quameno claimed they had known of our presence for over one thousand years before first contact, but did not contact us or allow any other interstellar society to initiate contact with us. They claim that this was for our own protection, that we were given the opportunity to develop on our own and prove we were worthy of becoming a spacefaring civilisation. There is a strong feeling among the people of the Nation however that the Quameno were in-fact acting solely in their own interests, holding us back so that we would not prove to be any competition for them as they claimed the resources and habitable planets of the nearby systems for themselves".
Ten days after the alien ship was detected the Aliens have introduced themselves. They are the Quameno Empire and they claim to be the oldest and most advanced society in the galaxy. Initial relations with the Quameno Empire are good and they are of course extremely passive, which will be an extremely good thing, as you can see from the screenshot below they are a relatively powerful presence:
Stardate: 2754.05.30
[Excerpt from R.P.N.M.I.H.H. (Roorea Prime Nation Ministry of Information and Human History) official documents]: "On 2754.05.30 the Nation was united in celebration as the first images of the colonists walking on HG106 were broadcast. The planet has a vast array of terrain and climates, including the wide open plains that our settlers set foot upon first. In comparison with the dense jungle, swamp and high hunidity of Roorea Prime 1 the planet was considered a paradise. The citizens would be able to roam free, rather than remain confined to the densly populated and polluted 12 cities carved out of the jungle on our homeworld".
The Nation's first colony is established on the continental planet HG106 in the home-system Roorea Prime. No other habitable worlds have yet to be discovered:
Stardate: 2754.07.20
Exploration and exploitation of the surrounding systems has begun. So far nothing strikingly interesting discovered:
Stardate 2755.06.17
An Industrial Research Station is completed inside the Nova TN101:
Stardate 2755.07.18
[Excerpt from R.P.N.M.I.H.H. (Roorea Prime Nation Ministry of Information and Human History) official documents]: "First contact with the Jameniri Major Republic did not go well. The Haakonish, a Reptillian race, were dismissive of our diplomatic envoy, claiming that only the President was important enough to stand in their presence".
Inside the nearby system of Kumminur Prime ships from a previously unknown race have been sighted and contact has been made. It's the Jameniri Major Republic, a Haakonish civilisation. The Jameniri seem to be extremely advanced, perhaps even more so than the Quameno Empire.
Stardate: 2756.01.18
[Excerpt from R.P.N.M.I.H.H. (Roorea Prime Nation Ministry of Information and Human History) official documents]: "The Ugnari were a strange people. From what we learned from them during our brief relations before their 'Time of Woe' they operated their entire civilisation as some kind of Merchants Guild".
Contact with a third Alien race! Things are progressing quickly. The Ugnari Industries were first encountered in the nearby Tallaan system. Relations were good, but as you will see soon, things did not turn out so well for this unfortunate people. The Ugnari are a young spacefaring race, with a level of development similar to the Nation's:
Stardate: 2756.06.10
The first colony of an Alien civilisation is discovered in the Tangrini system (I haven't the resources to trade maps without wasting valuable cash yet, so it's still just exploring):
Stardate: 2756.06.25
I forgot to include a shot of the general area that all this is going on yet, so here is one:
Stardate: 2756.10.08
[Excerpt from R.P.N.M.I.H.H. (Roorea Prime Nation Ministry of Information and Human History) official documents]: "Although it may be such a regular occurence now, the first time that mankind experienced lifeforms that existed in and travelled through space was a historicly important event. Never before had man dreamed that such creatures could exist".
It's our first encounter with the good old Giant Kaltors. The construction ship Stellar Raider manages to escape just in time. Military forces are dispatched to the Tallaan system to deal with the threat.
Whilst fleeing from the Giant Kaltors the Stellar Raider is witness to a terrible atrocity. An Ugnari Industries ship is attacked and destroyed by the Quameno Empire. We are witness to the start of a war... or perhaps the more correct term in this case would be Genocide, the Ugnari do not stand a chance:
Stardate: 2756.10.15
The first sign of Ancient civilisation on an uninhabited planet is discovered, suggesting there is more to this new galaxy than meets the eye. However, nothing of any interest was discovered by the Nation's explorers:
Stardate: 2756.11.07
The Quameno Empire continues its act of Genocide against the Ugnari race. This fleet in the Tallaan system is a clear indication of their intent. This is painful to witness considering the history of mankind, yet the Nation must remain neutral. We don't want to suffer the same fate as the Ugnari (and Ancient Man of course):
Stardate: 2756.11.26
More evidence of ancient civilisation, but our explorers and scientists are still no closer to figuring out the past. There was nothing of interest here other than the ruins themselves:
Stardate: 2756.11.28
Our forces arrive at Tallaan 1 to fight the Giant Kaltor menace. The battle is considered a failure. Although the Kaltors were destroyed, a Destroyer and a Frigate were lost during the battle. Total R.P.N casualties are 350 brave men and women:
Stardate: 2756.12.29
[Excerpt from R.P.N.M.I.H.H. (Roorea Prime Nation Ministry of Information and Human History) official documents]: "The Jameniri Republic first crossed the line in late 2756 when they attacked and destroyed the Exploration Ship Venerable Starrider. The Jameniri government denied any knowledge of the encounter, insisting that they sent rescue crews to aid the Venerable Starrider after receiving distress calls and reports that it had lost propulsion and was drifting into the nearby star. This was in contradiction to the messages relayed to R.P.N officials, who were told by the crew of the Venerable Starrider that they were under attack from a Jameniri vessel. The Jameniri navy are known for disobeying orders and unauthorised piracy, it is the standard response of the Jameniri government to deny these kinds of events, the Haakonish are simply too proud to admit to the failures in their chain of command".
R.P.N casualties 75:
Stardate 2757.02.27
We finish this update with more positive news, the Nation's first tourist space station has been completed in the Rioss Prime system. The moon XN973 has a huge and beautiful ancient monilith, visitors to the station get to visit the monolith and then relax in the orbiting luxury facility:
I hope you enjoy the update! I will put a galaxy view in soon as I forgot once again
