Week 146 welcomes us with this peculiar invitation. Normally it would be a good opportunity with the Klingons, however our estimates indicate that their population isn't really interested in friendship, and more like in ability to move their troops to the other flank of Ferengi space.
We will ignore their proposal, but maybe in the future, we will consider such treaty.

Next turn we schedule construction of colonization group that will establish a colony at Peliar Zel. You might remember it as the system with three giant volcanic worlds.

Turn after that, USS Coronado is completed, a Miranda-class vessel.


More diplomatic news at turn 149!
Romulans agreed to renew our non-aggression treaty and no one else than Cardassians approached us with affiliation proposal. We're trying to understand what is going on in the intergalactic politics however our spies and agents aren't really able to divulge any information.
Still, this is most suspicious string of events.


And week later Chalnoth became our allies. Just few more gifts and they will join the Federation - and with them, their technology will join our assets.

Next turn nothing speical happens - colonies are expanding and USS Rockford leaves Caldonian shipyard. Current estimates show that soon Xerxes system will reach Caldonians in efficiency - we will move our main shipworks there.


Ridiculous demands are rejected ridiculously fast. Xerxes gets a green light - the colony ships for Peliar Zel shall be finished there.


Someone bombed our universities at Caldonia. Whilst it is not much of a loss, the culprits haven't been found.
I'm, of course, betting Romulans.

At Turn 155, the colonization fleet leaves Caldonia and soon the second colony ship from Xerxes will fly there as well. After that, they will work at Eden system, near Malcor.

Several turns pass without anything special happening, except that we comissioned USS Cortes, an Oberth scout, which will go 'west' and explore several sectors that will be soon in our reach after an outpost will be constructed at Eden system.


Hurray! Chalnoth joined the Federation! They have Mark VI buildings across the board, which boosts our economy quite a lot.
On top of that, we get a Propulsion breakthrough that extends the range of heavy (green range) ships.

Also. Captain Jarod Cain will take command of the Colonization Task Group. He was assigned as the captain of USS Rockford. That is all.

Bahamut. At least twelve or so times.

Zerguin!

This is the part where you all suggest good anime for me to watch.

Spice and Wolf: Slow-paced anime. It has a dose of comedy, dose of action and dose of fantasy themes. As far as I know, there are two series 13 episodes each + 1 OVA.

Toshokan Sensou: Library Wars, about censorship, library soldiers and some occassional shooting.

Gilgamesh: Quite depressing, psychological (and slightly disturbing). People say it was boring, but I liked it quite a lot.

Pengling!

3/5

And "the ability to search for dwarves by name?" What?

In Legends Mode, when you go to 'characters list' or something, there's a button where you can type in a name of dwarf/elf/minotaur/whatever that lived in the world so far.

With enough patience, one can make a line from one dwarf living in 1050 to one of starting dwarves at year 1 of the world

NRDL gets Nautilus, then.

Those news shocked the population. Possibly influenced by Ferengi, the Ullians broke our treaty and claimed our outpost for themselves. We will try to re-establish the treaty, whilst our fleet remains in Ullian system.


This however is more disturbing. Cardassians developed new type of ship - a cruiser. Caldonian shipyards have been ordered to construct a pair of Ambassador-type cruisers to counter the threatening build-up of enemy forces. After Federation Council is completed at Sol, our homeworld will be tasked with construction of few additional Mirandas to bolster our forces.


Next week, we receive word from no one else than Romulans themselves - they offer us a war pact. It is a tempting offer but we will stand with our ideology - we won't start any wars.
Cardassian cruisers and pair of destroyers are lingering at Ingraham system now.


Another war pact proposal from Klingons.
What's more important however is Ullian double-betrayal. They accepted our gifts and peace treaty, and revoked it hour after the money was transferred to their homeworld. They are now sided with the Ferengi.
Ullian Task Force has been ordered to retreat to Caldonia to prevent any incidents.


Two weeks pass without incidents and we receive news - Romulans rejected our trade agreements whilst Klingons accepted another short-term non-aggression treaty.
Cardassian force in Ingraham is now two cruisers, two destroyers, four scouts and two transports filled with ground forces.
Starfleet Command believes it might be invasion force preparing to strike Malcor.
USS Khartoum have joined the Malcor Task Force, but Caldonian shipyard is behind schedule.


Romulans declare war at Cardassians!
This however doesn't seem to have budged our reptilean neighbours at all. Current force at Ingraham is estimated to be 5 scouts, 4 destroyers, 3 cruisers, 2 transports.
Malcorians decided to postpone expanding their infrastructure - they are assembling Miranda-class destroyers now.
USS Monroe, first Ambassador-class cruiser, have been launched from Caldonian shipyards. Normally it would be a moment of celebration but the cruiser have been sent straight for Malcor system.

Next week, using spare parts and resources bought with credits at Caldonian markets, USS Madison have been completed ahead of the schedule and as well sent to Malcor.

We also learn of this:


Vilmor, one of Cardassian border colonies, have been conquered by Romulans. Pair of scouts and a destroyer left Ingraham system and departed to the other side of their territory, albiet the force is still strong, posing a threat against Malcor.

Week later, USS Everett, a Miranda-class ship leaves Malcorian shipyard.

For the end, have a galaxy map. Romulans have quite a territory:
