@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Round 1
Initiative stage. Nobody has made First Contact, so turn order is random.
d3: 3
1=F, 2=K, 3=R
d2: 1
in the same order as above

Makes sense. Cloaked ships go first.
Build Phase:
1 Romulan Warbird, please and thank you, and nothing else.
Command Phase:
1 - Romulus Ship enters Warp
2 - Ship exits Warp (exploring to the north)
3 - Romulus Ship Enters Warp
4 - Ship Exits Warp (exploring west)
5 - Research phase (If I can select, I will pick “Imperial Science Initiative”, if I can’t pick then I’ll take a random one)
May the gods have mercy on the brave, foolish souls of those explorers…
I think research is draw 2, pick one?
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
I’m going to lay this out in excruciating detail because it’s been a while since I’ve played this.
(build phase)
(command phase)
Space lane length: d3+1: 4
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
System disc draw is: Rog. This is a hazard level 5, added to your shield level of 0 is 5, so the ship is destroyed on a 6.
d6: 3
Exploration card:
New system disc is: Pulsar (hazard 4, research). Which system do you want to connect it to?
Please attach it to Romulus. We will be mining it for riches and resources momentarily… (well, next turn)
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
You gain the Research from the Pulsar.
Command #3/4: another ship goes north. Space lane length: d3+1: 2
New system is: Sherman’s Planet.
Exploration:
Your choice. At present you have one unexhausted Command that you’re planning to use to start the Research project.
Brave the hazard! They aren’t paid enough to go to warp again!
And finally, you kick off Imperial Science Initiative. So I think that ends up looking like:

If that all looks good, @RossM to play.
A fine start to my little, totally-peaceful, utterly benign emp… errrr… democratic collective of freedom-loving sentients.
Good luck, Federation!
Ok. Lets spend Three Production to build three ships, and create a science fleet. (I want to move a fourth ship into the fleet. I assume I can do that right now?)
Command Phase.
Begin research on Long Range Sensor Arrays.
Warp the 4 ships in my science fleet. (Lets head east.)
Leave Warp.
(Based on these results I’ll declare my last two commands.
