Turn Five@Everyone: Sorry about the week or so long haitus, and the lieing about updates, but I hope to get back on track now that i'm not so busy.
Astronomers for the space-faring empires, perhaps looking out for more enemies or trying to spot their scouting fleets amongst the swirl of stars, notice something quite out of the ordinary. A supernova flaring near the center of the sector. But the next night it's gone and indeed, looking over old starmaps reveal there was no planets in that area.

Colonizer fleet in open space . Colonizer fleet in Nalia spaceport. Building Fleet in Nalia Scout Fleet in open space [acronym] The Titanium mine on an asteroid in the (Nalia, II) belt is investigated by a craft from the main scout fleet. The scouts decide upon wearing Self-Contained atmospheric suits while investigating, which save their lives. The automated mine has large strains of fungi, devouring the metal of the base. The scouts take samples and then open the mine up to the Cold Vacuum of space, which destroys the fungi. The scout ship safely delivers the samples back to home planet and departs with the Colonizer Fleet.
The fleets should arrive at their destination in one turn.
A fleet with black ships with red trim emerge limping from a slipspace rupture in your system. They orbit Nalia and are heavily damaged. But the fleet looks like it could still put up a fight.

Overall the people of your empire are rather angry at the Darlat empire. Some of them still publicly demand blood/ichor/whatever.

Six population units are homeless, but are uncaring about it...although it would be nice to have a house.

Building Fleet docked in Karigdar Spaceport. Scout Fleet orbiting a large temperate planet in the Atcampi. The Solar Storm abates earlier then expected and news and images of the new system- which the scouts name Atcampi- arrive back at home planet.
The work on the station is begun, but due to lack of Industrial capacity is halted before it can totally be built. Requires one(1) ISU to complete but is usable at this time, so long as the ISU is put in.
The system has a single yellow main sequence sun with eight orbiting bodies.
The first planet is a size four(20), hostile volcanic world.
The second is a size five(25) water planet(Need certain tech to Colonize), orbiting around it is a size two(10) moon with no distinguishing features whatsoever.
The third is a size seven(35) temperate planet.
A size nine(45) hydrogen gas giant, with a size four(20) moderately volcanic moon orbiting it
Another size nine(45) hydrogen gas giant with a faint beacon coming from a...station on it. This gas giant has a size three(15) moon but the scouting fleet was unable to get near it due to heavy anti-spacecraft fire.
Cr'yan (Maxinum McDreich) Sun(s). (Cr'yan,I) Cr'yan (12u/12u/8u/4u/5u) The people are scared of the terrorism and ask what the goverment is doing about it.
The majority of the people live in crude shacks and huts in the jungle, and as you can imagine, this is a breeding ground for diseases as well as heresy and dissent.
Scout Fleet out of communication. One space marine force, garrisoned on Cr'yan. One special operations force, garrisoned on Cr'yan.Scout fleet out of communication. As the scout fleet leaves to investigate another system, a solar flar storm disables communications for the entire system for a month. Using this breif confusion, a band of escaped Heretics blow up a a town hall.

Grantar Union (Toaster) Sun(s). Grantar (14pp/6u/9u/4u/5u) Grantar space station orbiting Grantar. (0/8u/0u/0u/0u) Famine relief doesn't come quickly, but it soon arrives, luckily, very few died due to the lack of food.

One of the marines suggest that you turn it into an ornamental pond.
The scouts scan the system.
The first planet has a high concentrations of iron ore, and perserved ruins of a civilization long past.
The second is too Irradiated to be used for anything, but through the churning clouds of sulfric acid, and gods knows what other horrible chemicals, great, molten craters can be seen, etched into this world's face by a past race.
The third is inhabited, and fires upon your ships with primitive- by your race's standards - anti-aircraft weaponry and missiles.
The moon belonging to the third planet has a small beacon on it, and once investigated, appears to be a memorial of some sorts to a past war.
The last planet has high concentrations of Silicon and Copper.
A ship from the scout fleet attempts to meet with the people of the inhabited planet, and gives the ship the gift of a high-powered missile. Unfortunately, the ship couldn't dodge this peace offering and was forced to take it. Your pretty sure this is a sign of never ending peace between your races!
In other words, the native inhabitants fired a missile at the Grantar Ship that sent down to meet with them and blew up said Ship. Most likely with the intent of war.
You know what to do.
