Okay. Here’s the rundown on stuff I have done. Below is an image of the system as it is now, with a ton of annoying notations for your viewing pleasure. Most notably, a new planet has been colonized.
There is method to all this numbering, however, and in this report I will document the point and purpose of every neon splash on the screen here.
1 and 2 are moons of Jahannam. They are both rich in minerals (120%ish of normal production) but are otherwise not very good planets. 3 cannot actually produce ANY minerals, but is good for radioactives (120%ish). These planets can all be claimed by independent business men, or as your summer home or research outpost or whatever.
4 is the planet that 3 is the moon of. It is a nice, mild ball of ice with a breathable atmosphere, low radiation, and a reasonable temperature. If we had ice colonies, life would be good. Unfortunately, they take a LONG time to research, so it will be a while.
5, like 4, is a breathable, nice and mild ice planet. It is also a total no-go zone. The government has ordered no traffic around the planet and placed it in a state of total lockdown. No traffic in or out unless you have the proper authorization, and you can’t get authorization. So sorry. Have a nice day.
6 is a small rock planet with lousy resource potential. However, there is enough room for a space port and a resupply depot. As part of a deal with Captain Nirur Torir, this planet is actually the captain’s property, although a close official to Captain Toon said that Nirur would be seeing very little of it because he has taken on an important mission.
7 is a very, very rich mineral field. Should any company get a ship out there with mining droids or farming robots or extraction clanks or whatever, they will become filthy stinking rich. To get shipboard miners, you need to research fairly heavily into the appropriate extraction field.
Lastly, 8 is the border which nobody is authorized to cross. Apparently the blue zone is dangerous and ships can be heavily damaged or destroyed in the area around the mysterious blue storm.

The Starliner comes with a ton of cargo space at an economic cost to you, and as an added bonus, you can launch and recover satellites from it! It’s even more comfortable than the usual spacecraft! Buy yours today and rumor has it the government might have a job for you!

The spaceyard at Jahannam has been completed. The project, under Captain Woose, was completed in record time, but the financial setbacks may be more than government officals may be anticipating. Construction is blazing ahead, this time on a giant hospital facility that will be used to treat pretty much everything under the sun, and around it. In addition, surgery and prosthetics for recreational purposes will soon be available from the location, once construction has finished.

Yesterday at the Military Testing Zone in Beii city, Chris Z, leader of the extremist faction known as the Spawn of Coyctus, conducted a raid and successfully stole what government officials say was the prototype to an energy weapon designed to fire a beam of cohesive energy at giant craft. What the Spawn of Coyctus will do with this weapon is unknown, but the Beii city police force and Captain Nirur Torir are following every lead to apprehend them.

Today the Emperor unveiled the latest government project – The lion defense system. The lion defense system is a series of satellites and hovercraft designed to be an early warning system from the rampaging Spawn of Coyctus and any foreign incursions. The Lion Satellite is capable of scanning a target from well over 200 miles away and can recognize over 1000 different faces and insignia. The Lion Centurion is a surface based hovercraft sporting a depleted uranium cannon revolver style reload system, with complex targeting systems and excellent protection.
Teehee I double posted.
