Dwarf me as a captain of a vessel, please.

[Flying Dice]

First and Last: 30-39 New Era

29 June 30: A prototype of the gravitational survey sensor is developed. Work begins on the design for a new survey ship.

1 July 31: An engineering team on Phoenix recovers blueprints for a Stellarator-type fusion reactor. Three hours later, the data is transmitted to researchers on Avalon.

7 July 31: Thousands of robotic soldiers swarm up from the handful of remaining ruins, dozens of battalions assaulting the engineers. Major General “Kingfisher” Lynom leads the loose brigade of MI in a counterattack, suffering substantial losses. Over the next [NUMBER HERE:TOO FUCKING MANY] months, virtually every unit suffers debilitating casualties. Hundreds of fresh civilian recruits are brought in every day with barely enough training to avoid shooting themselves. In spite of the dangers, the engineers continue to dig, hoping to find some way of shutting down the ruined city’s defenders. On several occasions the robots break through the lines, causing widespread destruction in nearby settlements. Over the course of the conflict, more than 200,000 civilians are killed, by far the largest loss of life in the colony’s history. A construction factory and fuel refinery are destroyed by long-ranged HVM strikes.

1 April 32: Avalon’s naval shipyard, Ingalls Shipbuilding, is completed. The conflict in the buried city continues. A Tiera-class gravitational survey vessel is laid down.

8 August 32: A squad of MI locate a control room at the heart of the ruins, shutting down the robotic forces. The ruins on Avalon have been fully exploited. A civilian group announces the early launch of their own Outreach-class colony ship.

10 September 33: The final components of a prototype JD are completed on the same day that the first two Outreach-class colony ships launch. The decision is made to wait to ferry colonists to Phoenix until after the ruins have been fully explored, preventing unnecessary casualties.

4 December 34: The ISS Tiera launches and begins a survey of the system, moving to the first of 30 preselected locations. Now-Captain “Sox” Fan la Mare assumes command.

7 May 35: Sun Shipbuilding begins retooling to produce the new Atlas-class freighter, intended to transport entire installations from Phoenix to Avalon.

19 August 35: ISS Tiera pinpoints the location of a Jump Point in the outer reaches of the system.

11 September 36: Two Atlas-class freighters are laid down.

13 April 38: Brigadier General Jacen de Gosbeck retires at the age of 61.

7 June 38: Two Atlas-class freighters are completed and begin shuttling recovered components from Phoenix to Avalon.

23 June 38: The first load of components is delivered. One of the most remarkable discoveries is the development of a new sort of compressed fuel storage system. ((In other words, fuck YES, got the loot I was hoping for from the ruins.))

22 May 39: Brigadier General Fritz Maurouard retires at the age of 63. The ISS Tiera completes its survey of the system. There are a total of six Jump Points in the Epsilon Eridani system; work will soon begin on a functional Jump Drive.

2 September 39: Initial warship designs are completed, as are those for a jump-capable ship.

Population: 32.75 million
Shipyards: 1/2 C; 1/1 N
OOB:
1x Odyssey
1x Taer
1x Tiera
2x Outreach
2x Atlas

Yeah, now that we’re approaching normalcy in terms of number of installations, I’m going to stop bothering with that. Things should be picking up in the next decade as I’ll be colonizing to boost population and shutting down research to boost production. Everyone who retired due to old age will be redwarfed by default.

Aww yeah. Kingfisher's Hellhounds have solved the robot problem.
