The Empire is very friendly with the Tarapin...

The Ortain fleet would often attack Panuxiel, but to no effect.

Even so, it was not all a cakewalk.

Condition of the Almanea 1 assault force after a year and a few more rebellions. Posted to demonstrate the rate of recovery of the troops as well as how long it was taking to subdue the population- again, a major factor was the degree of War Weariness.

Drats! It also turns out that this was an example of foreshadowing...

After a yer and a half of official war, War Weariness begins to ramp up.

Researching for Gravitic Torpedoes; once I get the helium-powered reactors there will be major refits for all ships and bases, though much of the civilian economy will of course remain on hydrogen fuel. I decided to plow ahead with Virus research after realizing the degree of force I will be facing.

Diplomacy.

Along with the great expansion of the military came an explosion of admirals, captains and generals.

Colonies.

The growth of populations is proving to be more dynamic in this game than I usually see.

The Tarapin...

Um... [X(]

The Empire used to rank #10 here.... still needs work- if I can afford it.

State of the Almanea 1 assault force after a year and a half and a couple more revolts.

The Empire-Tarapin love-fest continues.

Almanea 1 two years on, and another revolt.

Even with three agents on Counter-Intelligence mission someone destroys a gas mining station via Espionage.

The Pirates are still active in this Old-era Start game.

More fighting in the Panexiel system, but more importantly I can begin building helium-powered reactors now. This was a milestone I have been looking forward to.
