Yes, apologies for the further delays. First turn's a bit trickier to set up than subsequent ones.

Its...not usually a good thing to assume it gets easier before it actually, imperically proves itself to get better.

Turn 0: A Lot To Take In

Name: Veselin.  (Refuses to make his surname public, for legal reasons)
Description: A corporate executive turned space pirate, Veselin suffered a major injury due to a malfunctioning knife.  No longer able to crew a ship, he started an underground construction and development company serving his fellow criminals.  His company, Hidden Hideouts, has been involved in the construction of many a pirate base in the well-developed systems.

Veselin appears to be of unidentified South Slavic ancestry.  He is a tall, slim man, with a taste for fine suits.  He appears to be somewhat old, albeit not elderly (perhaps in his 40s?).  His left arm lacks strength and is awkward to use, due to the knife malfunctioning incident.

Sponsor: A reasonably important Mafia family that recognizes the future importance of the Fulares system.
Location: An out-of-the-way temperate rainforest planet.
Purpose: Construction of a hideout/base of operations for criminal activity.

Sponsor: [4], Location: [5], Purpose: [5]

The Heshva crime family wants you to establish their stronghold in the Fulares system. Specifically, there's a relatively small, frozen gas giant around the outer rim, one of the moons of which has a surprisingly insulating atmosphere. Anything you build there should be very well hidden under giant trees and odd weather patterns.

Sponser: Happy Galaxy Travels Ltd.
Location:Tropical Beach Planet
Propose: Create an exclusive vacation getaway for well to do denizens of this system

Name: Maxwell Denning
Description: A middle aged man of wealth and taste, Maxwell is the well established founder of Star Gold Capital, a renown hedge fund. No nonsense and relatively straight laced, Denning always goes where the money is and isn't afraid of not doing things "by the book" as it were

Sponsor: [1], Location: [2], Purpose: [2]

The Chin Gang is a criminal organization that styles itself as a mafia family. In practice, however, the gang is so small and brutal that they get more business acting as assassins and enforcers than by rigging anything illegal themselves. They want you to establish a place to send people they don't want coming back, conveniently located on a sandy desert world that supposedly once held vast oceans.

Name:Zack Abrams
Description: An albino, which should explain a lot, with hair that reaches down to the back of his head. He wears a white suit and black shoes.

Sponsor: Tachyon Research Ltd.
Location: Artificial planet almost exactly the same as Earth, with one difference. The ozone layer isn't torn to shreds.
Purpose: Create a weapon of mass destruction.

Sponsor: [4], Location: [1], Purpose: [5]

Tachyon Research Ltd would like you to establish some manner of death cannon on a frighteningly toxic and seemingly polluted world. They're not sure what could have caused the current conditions of this green death sentence, especially in a system that's supposed to be undeveloped, but they figure conditions will be perfect for hiding a weapon of mass destruction.

Sponsor:Utopian Entertainment Corp.
Location:Moon of the tropical beach planet
Purpose:Create an amazing amusement park for the not so well to do denizen of this system:D


Name:Bobby Danning
A man with a dream but his dream was cut short by some rivalry with the Happy Galaxy. Now he tried to create a better entertainment for the galaxy!

ArmsMark Security Solutions is a prison corporation, usually styling themselves as toxic waste handlers making the universe a better place by dealing with its garbage. They'd like you to establish another prison on the chalk-white moon of the desert planet, which was supposedly nothing but a shallow sea back when the desert world was similarly water-filled.

Name: Bobwell Maxins
Description: A man who has stuck to the principle of 'Treat others the way you want to be treated' for over 30 years. Of course, this has landed him deeply in debt due to him just not having enough money to make a personal theme park for all of his friends, family and even acquaintances. To pay it all off, he was forced to work as a labour camp architect by a sadistic company.

Sponsor: Deathdoompainmurder inc.
Location: A scorching hot desert planet.
Purpose: To make a labour camp.

Sponsor: [5], Location: [3], Purpose: [5]

DDPM Inc, and its benevolent director Malice von Starscorch, would like you to establish a brutal labor and inhumane experiments camp on the chalk-white moon of the desert planet. Supposedly it was once entirely a shallow sea, before drying to its current status.

Name: AGI Unit One
Description: An artificial General intelligence, which, sadly, due to budget constraints, isn't that much better than normal intelligence

Sponsor: Vraxian Shipbuilding Cooperation
Location: A resource rich dwarf planet, deep inside the asteroid belts
Purpose: Design, build and operate the largest fleet in the Quadrant. First step, building a shipyard and mining operation.

Sponsor: [3], Location: [3], Purpose: [5]

Morex Mining Co, a subsidiary of Vraxian Shipbuilding, would like you to begin establishing a mining fleet to strip-mine this system. First stop: the asteroid fields.

Name: Brother Cossades
Description: One of the monks in the secretive "Big Brother's Monastery of Love", Brother Cossades has spent his whole life learning the most effective ways to put caged rats over peoples heads and convince them they can fly. He has mastered the ancient art of "Doublethink" and assures us we have always been at war with Eurasia.
Wherever that is.

Sponsor: The Secret Organization That Is So Secret Even They Don't Know What Their Name Is ^TM
Location: As many major population centers as possible
Purpose: Establish robust and efficient units for identification and elimination of thought crimes

Sponsor: The Merkavian Federation
Location: Freezing cold dwarf planet.
Purpose: Expand Merkavian influence however possible.

Name: Andrew Bligh
Description: A young, enterprising man with a conquering personality.

((This okay?))

Sponsor: [6], Location: [4], Purpose: [2]

The Cerrash-Morrol Alliance, a consortium between the Merkavian Federation, Nallis Empire, Forec Collective, Zizic Trading Co, and half a dozen smaller and less important entities, would like to undertake a combined project to help cement their commitment to mutual cooperation and benefit. To this end, they'd like you to travel to a frozen dwarf planet out there on the rim of the system and use it to manufacture Cerrash-Morrol Brand Soft Drinks.

Reserving, if you're still taking applications. Sheet incoming. Done. I'm a little concerned about political correctness, though. I'll change it if you'd like.

Sponsor: Reese's Rhombical Reactors ® ((The shape helps direct the ion flux, in case you're wondering.))
Location: A hot desert planet projected to have a massive energy signature of some sort somewhere on or inside it.
Purpose: Solve the galactic energy crisis, preferably by finding and harvesting a high-energy commodity the scarcity of which can be controlled.

Sponsor: [5], Location: [3], Purpose: [1]

Reese's Rhombical Reactors ® would like you to ruin everything forever, reasoning that the lower-tech and more desperate things get, the more Reese's Rhombical Reactors ® people will need. To that end, they'd like you to set up shop on the chalk-white moon of the desert planet, which has some peculiar readings beneath the surface. Supposedly it was once one giant shallow ocean before drying out.

Free action: Make a claim to investigate the scan readings beneath the moon's surface, and to find a way to turn their source into profit, whatever it may be.

((How interesting that almost everyone has a goal that could be perceived as "evil". This system won't be a nice place to be in.))

[10ebbor10]

Construct : Foundry Alpha, a large factory/mining ship capable of mining entire asteroids independently, and also provided with  limited construction capabilities. It's giant, impressive, as well as near defenseless and slow. In practice, it will be faster to bring asteroids to it rather than the other way around. It's also completely automated.

Manufacture: Surveyor, a sensor ship capable of determining the mineral composition of all asteroids in this system, and provided with limited defensive capabilities. As is everything, completely automated.

Research : Tractor beams. A system to easily tug asteroids, or other things of interest.

[TopHat]

Construct: Build basic (prefabricated) colony structures on the planet, complete with all the sorts of things a prospective colony needs, such as a giant soft drinks factory in the centre.

Manufacture: a run of basic mining and geological survey equipment.


Research: Research the conditions on this planet, and how to adapt equipment to it.

Free Action?: Advertise for prospective colonists.
((I couldn't see where this one fits, does it count as a free action or is it manufactoring or something?))
