Sorry, Fridays are a 12-hour work day every week. My apologies!

Okay, put that research on Tal Diann to complete it (gains me 1 Culture).

Last Command: begin Research of “Superior Targeting Arrays” (it starts with 1 Science on it from “Imperial Science Academy”).

Sorry for the delay! That’s my turn!

Ooh, First-Lasting! If there were a game of Star Wars Legion, I would be winning!

Quick Aside: I have finished “Tal Diann Security Forces” as well, and it should be listed as complete after “Imperial Science Initiative” and before “Continuing Committee”. Thanks!

sigh

  • Command 4: Ship at Tau Cygna V attempts again for another Culture
    – 2 Ascendancy + die roll must be 5-6: d6+2: 6

There we go.

– Spend another Culture to incorporate their technological and biological uniqueness into the Empire.

  • Command 5: Ship at Tau Cygna V goes to Warp
  • Command 6: Ship at Tau Cygna V goes through Sherman’s Planet to create a new Warp Lane, which (hopefully) will connect to The Badlands.
    – Warp Lane Length roll isn’t workin’ for me… lemme try again.
    – Warp Lane Length [roll 1d3+1]

Survival roll for that ship: d6: 2 blows up on 4+

Therefore 1 research to a project (Continuing Committee 3/4, Superior Targeting Array 2/4) or to stock.

Hey, it survived! I’m as surprised as everyone else.

Please put that Science into “Superior Targeting Arrays”, please and thank you.

And that’s my turn!

@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Warp lane length d3+1: 2

Can’t quite make it connect to the Mutara Nebula. But you’ve got a ship at Hupyria, that’ll do.

“Aggressive greetings, not-quite-people.” [slaps translator] “Hello, fellow citizens of the galaxy. We would be pleased to exchange triple-Production trade agreements. We are happy to regard Ardana-Hupyria as the border between our glorious empires.”

(That was C3-C4.)

  • C5 drop out 2-warp ship from Kronos at Sigma Draconis.

Happy to trade Trade Agreements! 3-for-3 sounds lovely.
(Mine comes to me Exhausted: it will not generate resources for me this turn, due to Romulan Reasons)
