01.01 -- Science lab begun on Agglor.
02.08 -- We knew it would happen eventually. In the Edor Vang system, the furthest we have yet reached in the outer arm, we have discovered a new type of alien contact designated the He. Dr. Corperial immediately commences analysis of the sensor logs.
04.04 -- Biolab upgrade finished on Humboldt. A science lab will now be built to replace the least productive of our hydroponic farms, still leaving a rather exorbitant surplus afterwards.
05.05 -- The Ul-Tur and Kroll have signed a peace treaty. It appears that the war accomplished nothing. The Hakibori are still at war, but they appear to be slightly losing. It seems the Ul-Tur Concordat is tougher than they appeared -- or else the others are inept.
08.01 -- Science lab finished on Agglor, and will upgrade to an Engineering Facility.
08.08 -- The He Aliens will be known from now on as the
Ethneri Polity, as we have successfully translated their communications.
Materialists and pacifists, they are an empire of traders. They hold but a single system, and are vassals to another empire we have not met, the Qravadox Star Consensus. The Ethneri are fighting a war for liberation, a war they appear to be losing fairly badly at the moment. They may not even exist as a galactic neighbor for long.
09.02 -- Fleet rendezvous has been accomplished in the Impal Tov system. At present, there is not a single warship in any Kroll-settled system, but it's unknown where they headed off to. They are at peace right now, but we don't know how much of their fleet is left or how long it will be until it returns. Searching for it would be sort of a needle in a haystack.
The Fist of Boojie has almost regained its previous strength: 13 destroyers, 1 frigate, 1 raider, 10 corvettes. More ships are being built and could join us when completed. The Home Defense Force could join in if we wanted a total commitment. Right now all that is present in the Kroll systems are low-level spaceports that we could easily crush if we can get there before reinforcements.
The fleet is now in need of orders so its time to make a decision. If it is not determined to be time for war, they will head to the outer arm and combat the elite crystals(two more systems) in that direction. This endeavor will probably take a couple of years. It seems highly likely that the Kroll will have recovered by then and the 'window of opportunity' passed, assuming it even was/is one and hasn't done so already(how's that for vague?).
Inquisitor Roe Laren -- and others -- what action shall we take? Shall it be war, or peace on the Kroll Front?
