Change to Free Colonies

There have been several notable independent colonial ventures in the past half century, One is known to have failed due to the difficulties of life on its chosen planet; Another went missing after leaving Sol, while rumors are saying that a third - the colony of Alba Nova - has been cut off from contact with the rest of mankind for over three years now, with the common presumption being that some disaster befell it. Three other colonies, however, have so far been success stories:
The first is the colony of Eterani, which for a long while was the most distant outpost of human settlement until the second generation of FTL drives allowed more distant travel to become available. The people of Eterani have recently completed a first-stage terraformation project that has made - for the second time in human history, after Mars some 20 years prior - a new, breathable atmosphere around a formerly barren planet. The Eterani system lies 6 parsecs away from Sol.
The colony that took the "Most distant human outpost" prize away from Eterani is New Shenzhen - established on the long-known exoplanet Kepler 186f, a whopping 178 parsecs away from Sol. It has become the foremost staging ground for distant exploration in that sector of space.
The third of the recently successful free colonies is Fortuna - 99 parsecs away from Sol, a veritable gold mine in more than one regard as far as resources are concerned, though its mildly toxic atmosphere has been a deterrent to some settler initiatives.

Which of these colonies do you wish to play as - or, alterntively, will you strike out into the stars with a new vessel bearing hopeful pioneers?

In early 2195, a martian corporate fleet invaded Eterani, causing much damage to the colony, yet ultimately being repelled after the shedding of much blood, sweat and tears. The help of the Interstellar Cooperative Syndicate allowed the final outcome of the battle to swing in the Free colony's favor and, surprisingly to some, the ICS did not abuse their position to occupy Eterani, but rather helped it with rebuilding for a few months before pulling its fleet back to their home base.
Since then it has been five years, during which the colony has rebuilt in a material sense. The breathable atmosphere project had achieved its goal mere weeks prior to the battle and now some parts of the population live on the surface in printer-assembled habs, while others remain in the old underground city that once housed most of the colony. By now the rubble has been cleared and all its tunnels are traversable. Essential facilities such as hydroponics, nuclear fusion reactors, workshops and foundries are once more operational - though in no sphere have we reached the pre-invasion peak. FTL communications by satellite are once more online, but the colony's defense fleet is still naught but wreckage in space.
There is much work to be done.

Over the last five years we've had almost no immigrants coming in from Earth, our main source of population growth - after all, Selestine was a war-wrecked colony in the process of rebuilding. Now that we have livable conditions and prospects for growth, however, the Colonial Assembly has approved new advertisement for our colony, aimed primarily at Europe and the Americas, in order to bring in new settlers.
The surface of Selestine now has a breathable atmosphere, but almost no biosphere outside the humans themselves. The planet's stable gravity has been the reason we settled on it, but temperatures on it still vary a fair amount - generally being conditions that humans can survive, but requiring at least some appropriate clothing across much of the year. Still, there's a lot of free real estate out for grabs that can attract people, particularly from the densely packed urban centers on Earth, clogged with smog, high rent prices and homeless people.
What's worth mentioning here is Nigel's World - a class I arid planet located in the mysterious Ghoul Stars, it is where many of our civilians sought refuge during the Bogdanoff invasion - and some have started staying there for good.

>>4093232
B. The greatest issue with our current immigration policy is the need to use our own ships to ferry around colonists due to the secrecy of our location as such we should contact one of the trade corps to set up regular colony transports to Eterani and Nigel’s World under a strict non-disclosure agreement.

With this we should also release the documentary developed by the Daily Noose Corp and the League of Expeditionary Gentlemen. This planet has to be the most habitable and biodiverse world to ever be discovered! Immigrants will be begging to be let in and we can charge a decent amount for settlement rights! The focus should be on attracting mainly agricultural minded immigrants seeking to exploit the extremely habitable artic/subartic regions or the more moderate ocean shores.

The invaders utilized certain technology beyond our own, including powerful kinetic batteries that were able to tear our own defense frigates apart. Some wreckages from the battles remain spread out across the surface, while others - in orbit.
Give me three 1d100 rolls. The first will be for the retrieval of our own wrecks, the second - for the study of foreign ones. The third roll is a general event roll. Higher results are good in all cases.

Given that the colony wishes to go in a different direction, in an effort to help the colony myself, I will publish the footage of Nigel’s World. My hope is that this will mean massive immigration once the means are set up, due to our proximity to Sol. A little bit of attention and profit would be nice too of course, but the Daily Noose Corp wishes to do this for the sake of the colony rather than just that.

Charter Star-Ex to transport colonists to Nigel's World

Unfortunately, we found that could be identified with our fallen flagship, the "Eterani Gallagun" - but we did identify remains of the frigate "Venture" that shall be enshrined on the surface.
Study of the enemy's fallen cruisers however has yielded interesting knowledge on the topic of mass drivers, electromagnetic propulsion systems that in this case are used to propel armor-piercing projectiles at great velocities. Our scientists are reasonably confident they will be able to replicate these mass driver cannons soon. Their advantage over laser weaponry that has been a staple in void combat so far is a far greater power and effective range - as lasers lose their potency at greater distances, whereas these kinetic projectiles retain their power far better. They are somewhat less accurate than lasers, however, and achieving power comparable to that of the martian cruisers will require a lot of resources - the principals themselves, however, are now understood by our weapons developers.
In other news, immigration is expected to surge soon - Star-Ex has agreed to branch out into ferrying settlers, their business having expanded successfully since we first started dealing with them in cargo transport decades ago. They have been a reliable business partner that has maintained data confidentiality on their part all throughout our partnership.

The study of the native life on Nigel's World is helpful in three regards: Making life easier in regards to safety, making the planet a more attractive destination and providing sources for food and other resources.
A few words on the planet's biosphere:
Trees in the traditional sense are not found on the planet. Large flora is more akin to cacti most often, while shrubs and other smaller species are bountiful, beautiful and on some occasions - poisonous. The temperatures on the planet's habitable zones are comparable to tropical and arid regions of Earth, with a third of the surface being covered in water - aquatic lifeforms are truly the biological treasure of this planet, with crustaceans nicknamed "Newberry Lobsters" being a particularly favorite treat for the more adventurous explorers on the planet. The colony is now self-sufficient in regards to all the basic necessities of human survival, life and growth. The surface of the more habitable zones has been mapped in decent detail, the equatorial zones however do remain as a more mysterious part of the planet, having seen little exploration on the surface - orbital observation shows mostly rocks, sand and storms.
At present around eight thousand people live on Nigel's World.

Two proposals tied, so we'll do both.
On the topic of exploration:
Thorough research suggests that there have been several separate visits to this planet. Two have been found around the poles, one in the north and south respectively; Another two have been found in habitable areas. The last visit, in one of the habitable zones, is dated to have occured around a century ago, while the oldest visit we've found traces of would have occured between five and seven hundred years ago - unfortunately we've found no biological evidence to determine what these visitors were like exactly. What we've found is signs of drilling in three of the locations, rough terrain being leveled for the purpose of construction or establishing landing areas and disturbed patterns of local floral growth. No permanent structures remain, so the planet was likely not colonized, but merely visited and/or studied.
We've drawn up the charts for Gallagher Mk.2 frigates. Speed and emp weaponry are prioritized as requiring advancement. With these specifications in mind, the price of constructing a Mk.2 frigate will be 15 production each. Maintaining each frigate will cost 1 production per year. The first prototype is completed towards the end of the year, presently two more are scheduled to be built on a yearly basis.
Commercial transport has seen a large enough number of shuttles and light transports spreading around that I will no longer track those. With FTL drives still being something we can only purchase, but not build, I will keep track of the FTL-capable Merchants for now.

We've invested into the proper development of the surface infrastructure. Roads, starports, lesser docking areas, energy networks and quite importantly water distribution will now actually allow us to more effectively spread out across the planet - so far over 90% of the planet's population was essentially bunched up in one city, with the rest being mining outposts here and there. The quality of life is also improving notably over time - though it is still hues of gray that you will find across most of the planet. Some are hopeful that we will one day turn it green with a second-stage terraformation project, one that not even Mars has accomplished so far.
With five frigates now at our disposal, the contract is fulfilled - you can renew it for more ships if you wish.

Phase Two terraformation is a go.
Once again, the project will cost 1000 production to complete. The environment will start approaching a natural Earthen one more and more with every quarter of that - by default, that is, you will be importing flora and fauna native to Earth once the base conditions for its flourishing are established(water and soil being 250 and 500, flora and fauna 750 and 1000).
This is all for today - until the next session, decide how much production you will be spending each turn on this major project.
Besides that, you may post your Factions here. Include a faction name and description, as well as your assets. If not here, you may post in the discord server. At the year 2210 you'll do projects for your faction and/or your character(same rules) for the period of 2200-2210. That comes later.
We'll likely be back Wednesday, same time, hopefully doing more.

To start, let's put 10 production points. Later on after an expansion of the industry we will give to the terraformation further production points.
Thanks to the biodiversity initiative of year 2182 AD, we should have already selected fauna and flora for the planet and even have gathered some small amounts of them here for study.

Their specialties were medical developments and grafting. Yet they are now disjointed and the team seeks a future among the stars.

Among their more recent exploits they were the first humans to map an alien Genome and publish their works, their base was the site of the final battle against the bogs, had a system named after a member and finally pioneered the space shrapnel shotgun fleet move!

Deston Group
A small group that specializes in making civilian suits, infantry weaponry and military armors. Interested in finding a better place to start their activity the group likes the starting approach of the colony, as it is far away from what has been seen on Sol states. They seek to give a good help to the colonies with their products, while also expanding their possibilities, create new products and becoming greater without losing what has made them the Deston Group.

During the decades in Eterani the Deston Group sold to the military forces is equipment giving them the possibility to choose a local producer if they wanted. With the brief war against the martian corporation the group opened is stores to fully help the colony.
Their two newest military products proved to be formidable in battle, even if one is still not complete and by their standards is still in development and not ready to be sold.

Descended from a long line of coal plant managers, oil barons, then CEO's of energy corporations John Coal felt that he had a ancestry to live up too. Taking his assets earned from the wills of several of his extended family he decided he would seek out a new frontier of energy or at least redefine one; creating the first Dyson sphere. Seeing the booming colony of Eterani as a easel onto which he will paint his magnum opus he took his money and some of his fathers best scientists and took the next ship to the colony.

In the decades John has been a part of the colony he has funded a small amount of solar technology to begin his dream. However as he gets older he sees his dream further and further away.
During the war with the Bogs he hid in his solar installments with his scientists unsure of how he could help.

Council for strategic preparedness (CSP)

The council is a collection analysts and researchers, guided by a sentient algorithm, having come together to debate and prepare for future threads facing our colonies. Much time is spent drafting evacuation and defense plans for all kinds of eventualities, but new 3D printed weapon designs and other general "safety goods" like fire extinguishers and atmospheric-leak repair kits, have ensured a steady stream of income, respect and new members. These designs are developed and produced in a small 3D printing facility on the main planetary colony. The council has also developed the as of now only video game in the Eteranian colonies: "Colonial defense", a super realistic RTS game in which the players fend of evil outsiders trying to invade our beautiful free colonies, designed to generate strategic data for us to analyze. The council has also had a hand in developing the military standard armor of our militia, called the "Valiant", mostly contributing to its internal computer and visor HUD.
The defacto leader of the faction is currently the Central Strategic System (CSS), that has developed a quasi personality after being fed a shit tone of history and combat data.

Followers of the Divine Shadow
In ages past there was a man, his name no longer known*, only his title of Divine Shadow remain. His faithful describe Him as the most evolved human ever to have lived, a powerful telepath, seer and teacher, one who could speak to the Mother Goddess herself. According to His teachings Paradise and Hell are both very real places, their rulers aliens of great power, humanity having been deported to earth as part of the terms of their ceasefire. Furthermore, humans are beings of faith rather than matter, with telepathic abilities just waiting to be unlocked. And with His instruction and psychically charged crystals others could learn to master these unknown abilities.
His enlightened sincerity found fertile soil in the barren spiritual hearts of humanity, his flock quickly numbering in the millions. The authorities hated him because he spoke the truth, and they feared his awesome powers. Thus they sought to murder him with nuclear weapons, their only implement capable of harming him.
In the holocaust that created the Radlands of Ji they believed him destroyed, but his remaining followers knew better, his mindbeams reaching them from space. He had escaped into space, seeking out the promised paradise of Eden in his own personal spaceship. He left his followers with three commands: Master the spirit, study the crystals and seek Eden.
Despite the unjustified witch hunt from the governments of earth, the Followers continued to endure, establishing communes and centres of teaching around the blue planet, the elders of the order advocating threading lightly as they worked to regain their strength.
But Earth remains unsafe, and ever fearful of renewed persecution, the Followers of the Divine Shadow quickly sought to take advantage of the advances of space travel, seeking safety for themselves in the free colonies. This is also a spiritual act for them, their doctrine to seek out the frontiers of the universe to either discover Eden or to create it.
Brother David, an initiate of the Fourth Circle and descendant of one of the 16 disciples of their prophet is in charge of the mission to Eterani, his flock of acolytes eager to establish a refuge for the faithful wishing to escape Earth and to spread the good message of the crystals to potential new believers.

*Official records claims his name was Dave Didley, but his followers dispute this fiercely.

The Human League

A foundation consisting of the "best and brightest" humanity has to offer, assembled and funded by wealthy industrialist Bernard Walton, and sent out into the far reaches of space to achieve the lofty goal of perfecting human society. In spite of humanity's ascension to the stars, Walton and his associates believe that collectively, humanity is still plagued by most of the problems that will cause its continued decline and destruction even as they spread amongst the stars. Hatred, exploitation, and violence are still practiced on a mass scale across Earth as it falls deeper and deeper into decay. The purpose of the Human League is to find a way to end this, though science, reason, understanding, uniting and uplifting humanity in the process. Though Walton, and the rest of the League's minor financiers remain on Earth, intrepid former starship captain James Rodberg was chosen to lead the mission to Eterani.

The only current budgetary proposal has been to allocate 10 production yearly to the project. Increasing or decreasing this doesn't require a whole turn - as with all budgetary proposals, you can pass them alongside a regular turn action. The turn action is essentially what you - the Colonial Assembly - agree to do with communal resources during the year, while the budget is how much of the colony's production you're putting into what area.
Here's a bit of an explanation on the mechanics of this in general - Production is a somewhat abstract summation of your colony's industrial capacity. Its growth depends on resources, manpower, organization, social norms and technology. Production is how much your colony produces every year - part of that must be spent on upkeep. Providing weapons and ammunition for militia training consumes 5 production every year, while the upkeep of the fleet also costs you 5 at the moment. If you're making new ships or military installations, that'll also be more production being tied up in the Military budget. Consumer goods are all things needed for the civilian life of the populace. By default it will be adjusted to something that is required to keep your people decently supplied, happy and operational. If you support welfare programs or other social policies aimed at increased quality of life and happiness among your populace, that can tie up more industry into consumer goods - whether temporarily(for instance by subsidizing the cheap production and distribution of electronic entertainment like THE BOX across a year or two so that every home has a BOX) or consistently. Construction is for building things that will remain that aren't Military - new housing in the colony, infrastructure, space stations and so on.
As an example, in the last turn (2206) you had 103 production available, of which 40 was spent on upkeep. That means for the turn you had 63 free production. If for that turn you had voted to build 4 frigates, it would have been done within the turn with 60 of that production and you wouldn't see me marking Military as 70, since it was already done. If you wanted to make 8 frigates though and you want them build ASAP, during the next turn I would mark Military spending as 74 - because your upkeep rose to 14 within that turn and you've still got 60 Production queued up for that action. If you set a spending plan of 2 frigates every year, the upkeep would increase with 2 every year and you'd have an additional 30 production being spent every year on building frigates until the contract expires. Since you're also pursuing a Major project that will require a large investment, wisely managing how your production is distributed is one of your main goals - after all, it is the basis of good democratic thought that the job a government performs is merely the collection of taxes and its distribution towards the needs of the populace.

Continuing on production:
Free production that you don't use for anything during a turn is not wasted - far from it, in fact, that is production that goes into the market actually! If you spend many turns using all of your production for various projects, that will deplete your finances and slow the growth of the economy. Because the last several turns have been relatively low spending, the economic situation has improved overall, with surplus goods being produced and sold, the funds being used to buy new tools or things we can't produce at home and our total production grows at its natural pace. Essentially, this is the matter of government involvement in the economy, an age-old dispute across human nations. While you can choose to do so, not everything has to be micromanaged - this applies both towards the civilization and your faction. People will passively do enough to keep themselves fed and running, all of your factions have their specializations with which they earn their daily bread that keeps them alive - as an example, Gallagher-Volk builds, repairs and maintains transport vessels for the people of the colony most of the time, since that's what most people need and the funds/resources they get in return are what allows them to make a living. Similarly, if you choose to do nothing during a turn, the people of the colony will just keep on doing what they generally do - gathering resources, refining some into goods, selling others to merchants who go to trade in Alpha Centauri or Sol and then return with goods or resources from there and so on. What you do both as civilization turns and as faction projects are things aimed at specific goals, changes you make, advancements you strive for!

Now then - 10 production is the only budget proposal that was made and had any approval, so that's what's being used yearly on the Major project. The other 53 went into the free market and growth.

The AI Rights Bill. With the growth of artificial intelligence and machine life across the colonies, it's important that we remember the founding principles of Eterani, that we are all meant to be free. If we are to do better than our Earthen brethren, we must not repeat the mistakes of the past and ensure that freedom extends to all. To this end, we shall enact a series of laws and measures that enshrines that any sentient form of Artificial Intelligence or Artificial Life, sufficiently indistinguihable from a human in its thought processes, has the full rights of the law afforded to it just like any other human, and is treated as a citizen of Eterani.

A military academy is founded,having both surface and underground facilities. It's not too large at the moment, given your population size, but it can grow - in the past one might have said the sky's the limit, but that has not been the case for generations now! Analysis of the 2195 invasion take priority as it is the most relevant to us, but information on both more distant and recent historical conflicts on Earth and in space is also of value - the proxy wars in Africa and Central America for instance have much to show to modern military observers.
With its relatively small size, maintaining the academy is only increasing our military upkeep with 2 production yearly.

E. ETERANI NATIONAL FUTUREBALL SUPERGAME

To commemorate our victory against the Bogs and solidify our unity as a national entity, organize a yearly colony-wode futureball game. All significant factions and corporations affiliated with the colony must send a team to participate.

Mass driver guns within our production capacity are now developed and are deployed for orbital defense platforms. These platforms will generally shift their orbit to protect the 'capital' region of Eterani IV, since spreading them out evenly across its entire orbit would be less efficient against an invading force from space.

A decade after the Interstellar Cooperative Syndicate took Bogdograd on Mars, the trade league that was centered around that vile megacorporation has shattered and the cryptocurrency - once #1 in stellar trade - has completely crashed. The fact that we were excluded from it has turned out in our favor as the price of other currencies such as Starcoin, with which we mostly trade internationally, has risen, while the drop of Bogcoin prices has not affected us at all(Though any faction with Bogcoin holdings can now consider them worthless).
Trade overall has been good and we've been able to acquire higher quality modern technology for 3D-Printing. A colony ship that failed to settle on a new planet a few parsecs away turned to us and after making sure they're good people, we've had a nice boost in population and have acquired a new FTL-capable colony ship. The chief sponsor of that expedition, a Mr. Oaksworth, passing away a few months later on Selestine, has dedicated his entire fortune to the terraformation of the planet - it was his hope to lead an expedition that would turn a fresh planet green one day.
Lastly, a proposal of some interest has reached us from the ICS - we are currntly in a defensive pact with them, but they have noted that we have no real means of aiding them at present, having no force projection capabilities at all - none of our frigates are FTL-capable and we have no professional army that can be deployed abroad. Thus, they have proposed to strengthen our friendship with a research pact in the spheres of space travel and partial military development - if we somehow reach our own FTL before them they'd expect us to share it in turn. They're interested in our mass driver tech also, saying that if they combine it with research notes they found when taking Mars, they might be able to make further future improvements upon it in the sphere of kinetic weapons.

What shall we reply to this proposal from the ICS - accept it as is, propose to expand it, limit to something smaller in scope or outright reject it?

>>4096397
Accept their proposal.

>>4096397
I think it sounds like a fair deal.

>>4096397
We'll accept collaborative FTL research, but not collaborative weapons research. Prolifration of weapons should be reduced, not increased.

>>4096397
Reject. They have nothing to offer us so why should we?

>>4096397
Sounds like a good idea

>>4096397
Accept it as it is, they're cool with us.

>>4096397

Accept and invite them for a future ball game, for seal the collaboration

>>4096397
Accept, we have no reason to distrust them for now.

The research agreement is signed.
>>4096413
In addition, they accept the challenge, agreeing on the date of February 25th, 2209 - 14 years after the final day of the Invasion, when the ICS fleet arrived. Rumors say they're going to invest into their team a lot to bring them up to the best possible shape within a year.

Public morale and approval of the Assembly is possibly at all-time highs according to some reports and polls.

The Daily Noose Corp

The corporation known as the Daily Noose Corp, its name a tongue in cheek reference to the impact that news can have on a society, is a small news corporation wishing to conquer the colonial markets. While it often is very dramatic and grim with its titles, there exists no evidence of its ties with the noose and euthanasia industry and any claims to the contrary is fake news. Those ties do exist, of course, but people don't know about it. Its young leader, Harold Kasser wishes to keep it that way. Its main hub is in the Selestine colony, where it publishes digitally every day. In recent times it has become more famous for its coverage of Futureball, as well as its exclusive release of the footage from Nigel's World. As a result, the corporation is also looking into both planet/space charting, and broadcast, as these have proven lucrative revenue wise so far. The corporation is headed by the enigmatic Harry Kasser, son of the deceased Harold Kasser, who first brought it to the space station. While initially their family name was tarnished by poor business moves on the part of his father, Harold eventually rebuilt the family name, and passed away peacefully as the Nigel's World data was released. Harry wishes to build on his father's success, further charting Nigel's World and breaking into broadcasting. He is also an avowed socialist, and wishes to spread that message. As such, he and the corporation have joined the ICS.

With this action, any faction can use a project for the period of 2200-2210 to research into the following areas that would be in their sphere - the hulls of their ships(mechanics based), their sublight engines(chemistry/mechanics based), their FTL engines(physics/mechanics based), the performance enchantment drugs their soldiers used(biotech), their conventional weaponry, their ship weaponry and their combat mechs. If no faction in particular researches an area, knowledge from it will passively be absorbed over time for the general benefit of the colony.

Speaking of technology, something getting rather popular on Earth is a tech that over the past decade has become commercially available and widespread - full integration Virtual Reality. It is considered "as close to being able to experience another life as physically possible". Some social circles are concerned as to the negative effects this may have on the public, but masses of consumers are now eagerly partaking in this technology, to escape the troubles of their lives and to experience things they would never be able to otherwise.

IT IS THE YEAR 2210 - You can submit projects, both for your faction and for your current primary character (faction and personal projects respectively). How this works is as follows: You roll a 1d100(by adding dice+1d100 in your Options field) or 2d100 if you're doing faction and personal projects both. If you're doing both, the order in which you describe them is the one in which your rolls will be counted.
Include in your post your faction name, description(Fluff text) and assets. Assets are things I've approved you having - a factory producing X, specialized teams that can do Y, military squads trained in Z etc.
INFLUENCE POINTS: These are rather abstract. They're a combination of how much spare cash you have, how well liked you are by people, how many favors you can call in and so on. You accumulate these through projects and by having your faction's services employed by the civilization (Lobbying for those sweet, sweet contracts from the government) or various other actions that advance your position by purpose or by accident. You can also lose influence from messing up. Influence points can be spent on projects - say you're spending 10 on your faction project and 5 on your personal, that's +10 and +5 to the results of those respective ones. If you end up going over 100 with your result+roll, no refunds.
You can also spend influence on intrigue actions. These are things that you DM me on discord about - spying on other nations or factions and other such things that aren't big in scale, don't require a whole lot of time and don't fall into the category of 'projects'. If you abuse intrigue too much by pestering me about it constantly, fate might not look too kindly upon you, so use this in moderation.


EVERY NEW FACTION STARTS WITH 10 INFLUENCE POINTS. EVERY OLD FACTION HAS WHAT THEY HAD LEFT OVER
We'll also do some turns now.

You can do your projects now and I'll give you results on them when I feel like it. You can do them once we're over with turns too if you feel like it, but if you base your current project on something that happened in the decade of 2210-2220, I won't look kindly upon it, since your action is for the previous decade and none of you are prescient.
Besides your projects, please also take part in the general voting for turns. If a faction is only ever present for projects but never for the main civilization turns, I might just ignore them.

Formed from a group of disillusioned colonists, who feel that the promises of the new riches and adventure in the Eterani system were nothing more than a corporatist trick to get people to sign up for the expedition.
United around this, they socially drifted away from the main expedition body and formed what they now call "The Eterani Syndicate". Based on ideas of syndicalism and fascism, the Eterani syndicalists believe that workers should be united in their aim to improve their own conditions and that a strong government, based on their newly-formed national identity should introduce common-sense regulations to aid the working class, while maintaining societal equilibrium.

Assests:
-Industrial expertise;
-mining equipment;
-outpost on the outskirts of the Selestine colony
-spy and information network

Faction project: the Syndicate has decided that it would be a good idea to set up another outpost on the surface, seeing as how it is now livable, that could serve as a central office for the new espionage network.

Personal project: the Leader, concerned with the appearance of the ICS agents, has decided to establish a squad of spec ops agents, specializing in infiltration, sabotage and assassination that, much like himself, have had nearly all information about their psat either completely erased or heavily redacted to the point even their birth certificates tell absolutely nothing essential to identifying them, essentially making them all “ghosts”, who had never existed. The squad is named “The Eterani Ghosts”.

Faction Project: With our arrival on Eterani, it's becoming quickly apparent that we'll need a central base of operations from which we can conduct experiments, as well as serving as a central hub for future exploratory missions and administration in general. To this end, we will begin construction of The Eterani Institute, a structure located above ground, near the main colony, to fulfill these needs. It will also be, in part, open to the public, so that they may visit, ask questions about the science being done, attend lectures, observe certain procedures in viewing galleries, and generally enhance their learning.

In short, the expedition ended in disaster. Desert storms hit started becoming regular once you passed the tropics and you lost account of where you were exactly when the worst one hit. The USAGI team was lost entirely and in a horrid fashion - through the heavy dust and sand, you could only hear and record terrified screams. The reporters who tried to get closer to get a better shot were also lost. In the end, none of the USAGI team members survived and only those reporters who stayed at a safer distance survived - bringing with them footage worthy of a horror movie, nothing showing the exact cause of the lost's demise in image, but the sound of their deaths being imprinted both in the minds and recordings of all who lived.

The CSS has spent much of the last ten years designing itself a social body.

The CSS desires more information, data and control, to fulfill its primary purpose: Protect Eterani. Control, requires it to be trusted though and so it has designed this body.
Having a humanoid form has also enabled the CSS to partake in all kinds of human activities: Watching Futureball with the guys, attending classes, working as an attorney (as it's beloved quasi father Atticus once did), date and livestreaming [colony defense], while pretending to play with keyboard. All this has the purpose of gaining human experience, which the intelligence calculates will make it easier for it to fit in, gain trust, rights and ultimately control. Some segments of it also assume that it will make it more human and, as those are the only known true sentients, make it more sentient (it is unsure of what this means, but concluded that it won't know until it is).

While you haven't been able to create a source of true artificial gravity yet, your examination of Bogdanoff ships and engines DID at last reach to a breakthrough!
Usually when tinkering around with FTL engines too much you will hit a certain secret 'switch' that will cause the engine to combust - this has been implemented by all the producers to keep the secrets of its construction. Through trial and error, you've managed to break through this gap and have managed to replicate the construction of these Gen 2 FTL drives! You've chosen to make the blueprints available to others in the colony, but not spread them in the wider web - the construction requires fairly advanced facilities and isn't something you can make in a garage or 3D-print, so besides you there's few who could make these anyway. Some are saying that what you've shared isn't actually the whole picture, though - and, admittedly, while you now know how to make, repair and maintain such engines, you don't actually quite understand the theoretical physics behind it. Some loonies suspect that no one really does. As far as practical matters go, you've got your own FTL though!
Along with this, you've made your firrst experimental Charon ship. It lacks the gravity, but everything else it's got!
Since you've shared the FTL tech, it won't be your own unique asset, but you can include 'production of FTL drives'.

The Bogs had four categories of troops essentially - light marines, heavy marines in exosuits, manned combat mechs and autonomous combat droids aka Bogdabots.
The technology they use doesn't always mesh. The area in which they were certainly most advanced and in which you've made the most progress in studies are the autonomous combat droids - they were far ahead of the repurposed labor droids you had at your disposal during the invasion. By the end of the decade, you've managed to replicate the design and performance of those Bogdabots, who were perhaps the most terrifying of the Martian forces in their capabilities. Production costs are fairly high, but you think it's worth it. They're capable of operating on their own with general programming parameters being set and you can also assume direct control over individual units with remote operators that have a connection to the bots.
Of course, as per your project, what you've unveiled to the public is a nicely repainted household verison of those Bog designs. Pictured are the larger of the two variants of warbots and general armor marines. Smaller, cheaper warbots are about mansize.

+Additional exoskeleton, type of the Valiant Armor, strong but light
+ Parts of lightweight fiber reinforced polymer from the Valiant Armor, will be added (outside and inside). any innovations of the armor Valiant.
+ A reinforced helmet visor + a second reinforced helmet visor, in front of the first one (the soldier can say to the armor to put it up or not. It will close automatically before entering space, combat or danger)
+ A first aid internal system, for healing different types of wounds. Space for is medicines, as well some small sacks of blood
+ war drugs injectors, for help the soldiers in different situations (needed speed, strength and so on)
+ Comfortable and better looking. Thanks to the aspect and geometry is harder for foes scanners and sensors to find and locate it. A studied design and geometry will improve protection.
+ We will work to make the PA, far more silent
+ The Knight will be more protective and resilient to different types of weapons (even unusual ones) and natural/artificial hazards (space, extreme temperatures, gravity, pressure, radiations, water, acids, electricity, sound)
+ External small cameras, lights and sensors
+ The PA will be able to recharge batteries in part, thanks to his movement.

+ Prepared it for war and combat with scenarios and tests.
+ An oxygen recycle system for having more oxygen will be install as well a better air purifier, (when in space operations this will close automatically, but out of it can be ordered to do so or the computer will do so immediately if judges it's too dangerous to use the purifier)
+ PA enlarged in size and height, to accommodate the new things. Space will be left for future developments.
+ A heat cooling system inside eill be add for keep a natural temperature for the soldier. Excess heat is used by the PA to produce some energy.
+The PA will have the possibility to attach to grounds and surfaces from the boots and gloves, thanks to magnets and spikes inside them (that can be ordered to activate or will do if needed. example : spaceship section explodes leaving a hole with space, the PA will detect and act on it. The ones in the gloves will be made so that they do their job, while not hindering too much the use of weaponry). This will be helpful in boarding actions against spaceships and space stations, in vertical operations on planets for example while climbing, or when assaulting bases in asteroids fields.


We expect further years of development to complete it, and make it possible to start a standardization of the PA to begin a good industrial production.
Personal Project

Javier shall invest in the enlargement and decoration of public spaces. Both outside and inside the halls of our colonies, and give them some public plants.The citizens can decide how their halls and structures should be decorated and the themes (nature, space ecc ..) they would like to have.

Your Mech Ball mechs, based almost entirely on the manned Bog mechs, are complete. While your warrior-athletes used power armor suits during the invasion successfully, you now have big guys piloting proportionally big mechs. While some military nerds might claim that heavy combat droids would fill the same battlefield role better, without exposing human lives to danger, they're wrong - cause they're nerds. Your current mechs can stand up to 15 feet tall when completely upright and are usable for both combat and sports - having passed all checks by the SFC, you're now entered into the Mech Bowl Interstellar Competition!
Asset: Mech Bowl bots(Name them as you wish) based on Bog designs
As for the expansion of the franchise, it's a success - both Fortuna and New Shenzhen, having a section of the populace who are fans of the sports programs, agree to the deal!

Unfortunately the only users of psionic powers during the battle were, reportedly, the leaders of the invasion, whose whereabouts are unknown. No genetic material known to belong to them has been found and with no reference to work with, you don't actually know what the genetic marker you're looking for is. Instead your team has compiled all available information from combat footage dated from the invasion, including Bob Bowser's final live transmission, as well as anything they could find from the wider web and, loosening your purse strings, more secretive channels. The information is available to you in a report in [REDACTED].
Francis' oratory and participation in the public life of the colony over the past decade has managed to increase the prestige of the foundation and attract sympathizers and supporters.

Both tasks are an overall success. The new central office is established at a nice spot, having its own landing pad and necessary infrastructure for a base of operations, while the training program has managed to procure you a [REDACTED] number of ghosts as per the Leader's specifications.

The Mk2 PA Knight is mostly what you'd hoped for - its resistance to temperatures is improved, its combat interfacing unit is more efficient and it has an anti-hacking failsafe, but besides a mechanism for manual shutoff and ejection, you don't have anything that can protect you from an EMP blast at the moment.

Your activity outside of your primary occupation is one that people appreciate - decorations are very welcome and you receive both compensation and appreciation for your work in providing them across the public spaces.

A colonial intelligence agency dubbed ESIA has been established, with agents being trained by Syndicate people. With The Leader being given the command of the agency, he has executive authority over where these agents may go and what they may do.
The fact that no one knows who The Leader is might prove both a blessing and a curse.

I am now adding another tab to production management - Administration. Presently, the needs of the Assembly, the courts, healthcare and schools, as well as the new intel agency, contribute to this upkeep.

G. The Oversight and Security Act

-An elected committee will be appointed to have oversight over, and authority over, all matters of national security and defense. This includes military and intelligence.
-Private military forces existing outside the government will be limited to no more than 100 men. The merging of military forces between multiple organizations, to bypass this law, is to be considered illegal.

It seems the equatorial regions of Nigel's World aren't as empty as we previously thought - they are home to rather vicious wildlife that has adapted to the harsh environment to conserve water and to consume the water of others that they hunt. It is a constant struggle that has spawned many vile predators, though we can not be certain which species it was exactly that assailed our lost explorers - it probably wasn't any of the flying ones, since even they can't fly through the harsh storms like there were on that dark day. The surfaces of these areas reveals interesting things - the world as a whole was likely once more temperate than it is today, judging by the dried out basins and canyons - but something changed this at some point in time - exactly when, we can not say with this data. Regardless, there is some fascinating footage of the flora and fauna of the equatorial wastes and scans do show that there is a good deal of mineral wealth to be found in those areas.

H. Free Planets Heavy Militia. Made of power armored Futureball players, mechs, and freedombots. The maintenance will be covered by commercial gains all the government has to do is put up the initial investment and it can have its money back in 5-10 years. The CSS bots can either be brought into the existing Futureball Free Planets League, have its own Bot League, or a limited inclusion of bots where teams are allowed a substitution to bring 2 players out and allow 1 robot in.

Those who support pleasue submit your preferred plan for bots in Futureball.
