Exploration[/center]
[center]
[/center]
Here we can see the extent of our exploration. The
yellow dots represent the systems that we explored and the
grey dots represent the unexplored systems. As you can see, our empire is located in a small cluster of approximately 30 stars. All those have been explored and were nicknamed ''The small cluster'' by our exploration teams. Below this cluster we have a bigger one nicknamed ''The big cluster''. Exploration is still under way but as you can see, at least 1/3 of it as been explored. During our exploration we came into contact with 2 alien species. Details about those species can be found in the
Diplomacy tab. The yellow dot very far north of our empire is a colony location given to us by pirates. As you can imagine we did not get what we paid for, since our ships do not have the energy to go there and come back.

Colonies[/center]

[/center]
In the picture above we can see the location of our colonies and of the known colonies of the 2 alien species we encountered thus far. Our colonies are the 3 ones with a
yellow dot inside of them. The lines represent the trade lane between our empires. Below we will show you in details our colonie.
Legend:
Pink: Frozen gas giant
Orange: Volcanic planet or moon
Red: Gas giant
Blue: Ocean planet or moon
Green: Continental planet or moon
Teal: Ice planet or moon
Beige: Desert planet or moon
Grey: Asteroids, dead planet or moon
Yellow: The sun

The Zenox System[/center]
[center]
[/center]
This our original system. Due to it's abundance in gas giant planets and minerals, our home system was, and still is, a very good system. If we design equipement for extreme condition colonies, there's 4 planets that would be suitable (maybe not rentable) for colonization; 2 Ice moons, 1 ocean moon and 1 desert planet.
The principal gases found in our home system are: Hydrogen, Helium, Krypton, Argon and Tyderios. This diversity provides quite a benefit for our empire. The mst present metals are: Iridium, Lead, Steel and Gold. Nothing special but everything we need. There's two rare ressources found in the
Zenox system: Vodkol and Terallion down.
Let's take a close look to the capital colony of our empire based on the continental planet
Zenox 5.

[/center]
This is our starting planet, it can be seen by it's population, 12 billions, and it's GDP which amount for 94% of our entire empire revenue. The population on
Zenox 5 is equivalent to approximately half or our empire population. This planet is of such importance that if we lose it it would mean the end of our empire. To protect this very important colony 3 weapons platform were built in orbit. These platforms might is quite impressive. Each as a firepower of 188 and maintain a fleet of 8 fighter ships. Since our first steps in space a medium space port was built in orbit of the planet. This space port as been the main construction hub of our empire since then.

The Xubbahn system[/center]
[center]
[/center]
The first colony we established was in the Zubbahn system on a continental moon. This system is quite good too. It contains a high amount of luxury ressources such as: terallion down, otandium opal, questurian skin and rephidium ale (found on the colony's planet). Gases are pretty common with a high amount of caslon. There quite a quantity of osalia mineral and there's every common metal. These luxury ressources are a great benefit for our empire.

[/center]
The moon was called Atui. Due to its young age, the population of the colony is very low, a mere 60 millions, and its GDP almost inexistent. Still it's community is thriving and its population steadily rising.
[center]
The Zaldix system[/center]
[center]
[/center]
The third and last colony of our empire is situated in the Zaldix system on the fourth planet. The particularity of this colony is the fact that a long lost population of
Zenox was found already on the planet. The reunion was made peacefully since it seems our lost cousins were actually using the same governement type as our; Technocracy. The population of this planet is 800 millions. This gave such a boost to our empire's population. Apart from that, the
Zaldix system is quite a basic one. It contains decent amount of gases and metals, some minerals and a few luxury ressources: jakanta ivory, vodkol, terallion down and wiconium.

Due to the great distance between the first two colonies and
Zaldix 4, the decision was taken to build a huge space port in orbit around the planet. This gave the population of the new colony the feeling we were actually caring about them and the infrastructure to build, refuel and refit fleet directely on
Zaldix 4 instead of having our ships going back and forth to the distant
Zenox 5 colony.

Economy[/center]
[center]
[/center]
There's nothing much to say about our economy apart from the fact that it's doing very well. As you can see on the screen we have a high surplus and a very confortable earning zone. The same can be said for the private sector. With the construction of the big space port on
Zaldix 4 finished, we expect a huge augmentation of private ships and station being built in the near future. Below can be seen a summary of our ships and bases.

Diplomacy[/center]
The relations with the 2 alien species we encountered thus far are quite good. Since our empire are far from each others there's no tention yet. Our diplomatic relations gave us some informations on them. They seem to have bigger empires than ours with 8 to 11 colonies each. This is one of the main reason for the increase in our military's budget. Below can be seen an example of their species visual appearances and their flags.

Military[/center]
Our military forces consist of 4 fleets with 17 ships in total and 12 legions of ground troops. The first fleet is the biggest with 7 ships, 2 destroyers, 4 frigates and 1 escort. It's combined power is 188. The 3 other fleets have between 3 and 4 ships, 1 destroyer, 1 frigate and 1 escort. Our 12 legions are distributed quite unevenly. 9 legions are on the capital colony of
Zenox 5, 3 on
Zaldix 4 and none on Atui. Below can be seen a list of our fleets with their number of ships and firepower.
