The year is 2400, and Earth has entered a scientific golden age; mankind is ready to expand out into the Sol System. However: their rapid expansion does not go unnoticed in the galaxy and internal political games continue even in this age. In an effort to control the massive bureaucracy, interplanetary traffic and system defense. Spacenet, a new AI system was created to manage everything in the interests of humanity.

"Welcome to this interactive tutorial of the overhead system tactical display map and planetary database. The Sol System has been devided into a hexagonal coordinate system, which also simultaneously calculates orbital position and radius from Sol. Please review this interactive guide:
"Planet information is organized as follows: In the top left is the planetary radar net, which tracks all objects in orbit, the main display is a top down representation of objects in orbit, while the slice at the top and bottom represent objects over the North and South Poles respectively. In the top right, the planets name, population, civil unrest levels, temperature and orbital information are displayed. A bar that displays white shows an estimated increase in the following weeks, [aka: turn]. Below that, we have available resources on planet that may be utalized. The bars - from left to right - represent minerals, food and fuel.
"The rest of the information indicates Characters who are in control of key positions in politics, science and ships and that the atmosphere is breathable for human habitation.
Resource inventory box shows the following items:
- AI Core "Spacenet".
- Government Headquarters.
- Special Operations Unit.
- Research Facilities.
- 5X Deep Space Probes.
- Interceptor Missile Defense Pad.
- Radar Dish.
- Conventional Space Craft.
- Space dock (In Orbit)
"Planetary Counsels make all major decisions regarding the economly, planetary defense and interplanetary relations. The commanding officer of the navy is in charge of defense of space, enforcing shipping regulations and carrying out special missions. The lead scientist is in charge of research, and requesting recovery or reconnaissance missions from captains.
"The order of events per turn are:
Political Counsel Meeting and Votes>>Naval movement>>Naval and Planetary Weapons Fire>>Sensor Data and Prototype Equipment Activation>>Update Resources and Planetary Statistics."Sol System Display Activated!"
"Let us now convene the first meeting of counsel, our goal as a species is to expand rapidly into the Sol System and advance our race into the 24th Centu-"
"Races"
"What?"
"We're not the only sentient race anymore, pardon me saying so, but I hope you're not living in the 21st Century still, Counselor Neilson."
"Woof!"
"..."
"Considering humanity is still the dominant race on Earth, I am outraged that people actually elected a dog, a walking refridgerator and a union leader. Unfortunately, I'll have to tolerate this lot for the time being. I table the motions of resolving our overpopulation issues causing social unrest and an ever rising temperature by expanding to nearby Worlds, we should also increase our industrial capacities to produce more vessels to expand at a greater rate and defend our colonies. Considering we have
exhausted our ability to harvest fuel from Earth, we will need to locate another planet with an abundant supply.
I vote in favor of this proposition."
"
Nay! We need to ensure that such an operation is safe for the colonists first, I will not waste human life on your gamble!"
*shakes his head and whines* "I am
in favor of rapid expansion, if overpopulation is a problem then endangering the lives of these people is not a risk: it is a solution."

Players take the roll of the characters provided and give them direction on how to proceed. Each poster may only control one character at a time, and characters may be claimed, but if you don't post someone else can give them an action. In the event of multiple suggestions, the one that is suggested most or first will be used. The AI unit, represents me, the omnipotent
jerk game manager. You may direct research, planetary production and captains to do your bidding, the game is very flexible with no set rules, (yet.)
Also, updates may be daily or weekly, it depends on how busy I am.
