Alright, some of you may be a little lost about what to do now. I'll tell you now:
-You have quite a few default technologies to invest in, but they have not been put up on the reserved post yet. I will get them up asap. I will tell you what those technologies exactly do as well, for your leisure.
-Some of you have technologies in your stats. These are faction-specific technology that for all intents and purposes only you can research at this time. But they are not really finalized at this point. Basically, PM me about a specific technology in your stat page and I will explain the best I can on the function of it and how you can research it further.
-Unless I've missed it, none of you have specified what kind of colonies the other planets are. So, both colonies have basic stuff required for living there, and are at this time self-sufficient... and not much else. So, if you wish to improve on your colonies, shoot me ideas in a PM and I'll slap a price tag. The bigger the project is comparative to the size and development of the colony, the longer it will take to actually pay off, so don't go building those space elevators just yet.
-At this time, literally nobody that isn't monetary is actually producing any net resources. Assigning workers to gather resources based on the planet is a good start. No colonies have more than basic gathering stuff, so assigning some resources to perhaps make better equipment or facilities might be a good start.
-At this time, all your best stuff comes from your capital. Building better equipment there and then shipping them out using star-ships isn't that bad an idea at this time, and in a monetary economy may even produce a kind of "internal market" revenue. In case you're wondering, yes, you will be PMing me about how much equipment would cost. The more specifically you make the equipment, the better and more cost-efficient they will be.
-You could just send resources to a colony and let them (me) decide what to do with it, but micromanaging in these early parts of the game is a lot more productive and unlike the latter parts, won't give you much of a headache. You're only managing three planets after all.
-None of you have an actual fleet. Look into building a basic fleet, or perhaps designing your own. But at this time, it is much more practical to stick to basic designs.
-Shape your roleplay in a way that discussies technology, or write something pertaining to technology in general. This can activate a faction-speciffic field of research. You could just tell me a tech you had an idea about and ask for a price tag, but generally the more detail about said technology the more cost-efficient and effective the technology is.
-Consider exploration and expansion as well. You can't go wrong with finding more systems to colonize.

Vehicles of the Mollis Military: The Kometa AV and the Skjar Carrier
The “Kometa” Armoured Vehicle: An ungainly, enormous, armoured beast of a machine, these are fired out of Mollis carriers onto the ground. Each Kometa AV can hold nearly 2000 soldiers and be fully deployed in minutes. They are purposefully flashy, and well enough armed to defend themselves against small arms and small armour. Used extensively on conquests in Dominationis, the sheer shock of seeing an enormous chunk of metal fall out of the sky and spit out hundreds of fresh Mollis troops was seen as an enormous boon in the eventual conquest of the system.
The Skjar Class Carrier: The epitome of Mollis engineering and ingenuity, the Skjar Class can hold hundreds of thousands of personnel and turn cities into dust; the winner of the Domination Wars, the Skjar Class is what most Mollis think about when they think of the Alliance military. They, however, are extraordinarily expensive, using extremely rare materials for both the construction, maintenance, and the firepower itself.

This document was transmitted on the 49th Week of the Year 999 A.A, three weeks after the discovery of extraterrestrial life, to all species that are not hostile towards 4A and have technology capable of receiving it. It is based on a document they used to educate members of the Aoli about Ascension, with adjustments made to cater for the expanded audience that this document of
Understanding Ascension: An Informative Guide by 4A
We of 4A have noticed that no species that we have encountered have anything similar to Ascension, other than the Singularity, however, they have used their version of Ascension in an agressive and unfriendly manner. So we have decided to educate the people of the galaxy about ascension and we hope that some of you will decide to join us.
So what is Ascension? Ascension, in the simplest form, is immortality. We upload the consciousness of a sentient being into our network, where it will be stored on multiple severs located throughout the galaxy. If the body of an individual is destroyed, then an new body will be constructed and their consciousness will be downloaded into it. As long as 4A exists we will do everything possible to protect the consciousnesses of all members, so for the members of 4A, death has been downgraded from a certainty to something very unlikely to happen.
Ascension goes further than mere immortality. When a new consciousness is uploaded into 4A, a copy of the consciousness is incorporated into the joint consciousness of Ascended:Governance and is regularly updated. This means that you have a direct say in our government, more direct than any other kind of government imaginable! The Artificial and Aoli have separate joint consciousnesses that have equal say in the governance of 4A, Aoli:Governance and Artificial:Governance.
There are other benefits of being an Ascended as well. Being uploaded into machines gives us a great insight into Artificial Intelligence, meaning that our development into Artificial Intelligence has been astounding. The Artificial are not used as slaves, they are given equal voice in the running of society, although our experiences differ.
Q&A:
Q: Can non-Aolis become Ascended?
A: Unfortunately, as we have only learnt about alien species recently, we will probably not be able to help alien species ascend upon first contact. However, if you wish to become an Ascended, we would be glad to have people to help us to beta test our Ascension systems for species other than Aoli. If you are interested, please contact us as soon as possible!
Q: Are you going to force me to become Ascended? Do you have something against non-Ascended life?
A: No. We would not, in fact we could not, force someone to upload themselves into Ascension. If someone truly did not want to become part of the Ascended and were forced to Ascend, their consciousness would degrade upon uploading, rendering the whole process futile.
Additionally, unstable personalities do not fare well as part of the Ascended either, as their consciousnesses are too unstable to survive outside the body. However, we have excellent mental health care, so this is not an issue for the vast majority of Aoli.
Additionally, we respect non-Ascended life and we appreciate if you do not want to Ascend. The entirety of the Aoli branch of our society are non-Ascended and live their entire lives very unaffected by technology.
Q: Do I need to become a Cyborg to become an Ascended?
Yes. However, most of the implants that the Ascended use are not necessary to become an Artificial. There is only one implant needed and that is the implant in the brain that in necessary for the uploading of consciousness to a computer. It is embedded within your brain, so it is not noticeable to people that you are a Cyborg unless you decide to graft more robotic parts onto your body.
Q: So do you use the Artificials as slaves or something?
A: Not at all! All Artificials are programmed with free will, if they do not want to do something then they are not obligated to do it. Most code that we use does not have sentience. When it is deemed necessary to use Artificial Intelligence for something, we look for volunteers. In the rare occasion that there are no volunteers to be found, or the task is so highly specialised that it requires a new Artificial for the task to be performed, then one will be coded and they will be given a tendency to perform this task.
Artficials get coded all the time by programmers all the time however, but they are not coded to perform a specific task. To code an Artificial is one of the hardest things to do and people who are able to do that are considered highly within the community.
Q: Can us Synthetics join 4A?
A: Yes. Although the benefits may not be as clear cut as they are for biological organisms, we will accept any additional Artificial life to become part of 4A. Synthetics will join a community of people who are very accepting of Artificial life forms and a large diverse community of other Artificial life forms.
Q: What's a Joint Consciousness?
A: A Joint Consciousness is a merger of consciousnesses into one consciousness. They contain all the memories of the individual consciousnesses that make it up, resulting in an unique personality. We use Join Consciousness in the governance of 4A as we believe that they are a vital part of a completely fair government.
Q: Is it possible to control multiple bodies at once?
A: Yes, however, it is very difficult for a sentient mind to have total control over more than one body. The average person can only control 2-3 bodies at one time, the most anyone has controlled a full body at one time is 9. However, it is possible to control more bodies if they are simple robotic bodies and their original body is put into stasis. Citizens are expected to donate some time to working with bodies other than their own to keep our economy afloat, although we try and keep the amount of time that our citizens are required to perform menial labour to a minimum.
Q: Would my religion/traditions be allowed once I am Ascended?
A: Sure, as long as they don't harm any sentient beings then it is allowed! We are very inclusive within 4A.
Q: If I decide that I don't want to be an Ascended anymore, can I leave?
Yes. Although it is not very common, it has happened in the past. People have opted to delete their consciousness from the network and leave to live out the rest of their natural life.
So we invite all non-hostile sentient, biological or synthetic, species to join us! We will be glad to have new members within our society!

The URN would like to point out that as a free democracy our people are free to follow whatever religion they choose to. Should an individual choose to become an ascended then he or she may follow that path.
Just don't expect many to do so, we Levanti are a very religious people. Praise be to Keelah!

The Hyrhh’unt Hegemony is interested in opening diplomacy with the Farian Federation, given our shared habitation of the Scutum-Centaurus Arm.
Um... So... Are we just going to pretend that you have all made contact? Seriously no one has good FTL yet so how are you talking? How do you even have contact? If you are going to open up diplomatic affairs at least RP a first contact situation.

OCC: I'm just pretending that we have all developed intergalactic communication and universal translators and that we have already opened up diplomatic relations, to stop headaches later.

By agreement of the Council of Nations it has come to our vital understanding that our efforts to spread out beyond our home system of Kin and commence other systems into being our homes have a effort that must continue to commence. While the tragedy of the Ek Can on our peoples may have scared us from travelling outwards, it is never the less that as the Meoir of the Galactic Unicob Health Board, Iriiri Aalav, may have pointed out: the medicine to Ek Can relied on samples of primitive life from its home Kak. Hummol and Kak, while the former may be reguarded as cursed especially, have been important in our developments. Hence we have set out that to the Iiend Space Travel Union dismay we will go ahead and created the United Space Board to help our travellers to organise their space travel in exploration.
The results of exploration have to be considered. The consideration of other sapient life has come to our thoughts, especially with our recent receiving of transmissions from outside Unicob areas (OOC: they are receiving the signals from SETI). By directive of the Galactic Unicob Health Board it hence be set that we create the Sapient Research Directory, its duty to serve as a binding force for our researchers in the study of other sapient creatures. The need to specimens for research is a consideration if we are to learn more about not only them but about ourselves in comparisons. Perhaps we come across life that thrives on hot and dry worlds? That might be a hard to conceive thought since life is of the cool and the wet but we must open to new discoveries.
Capo Iin Devee Keskev Keppatko will be promoted to lead the next exploration fleet as its toshiaght when the directive is granted. Our next exploration will need to haste soon so we can begin our progress across the stars to learn more. We are in a turning point: the moments we went outside Kin and colonised worlds outside Kin for the first time were among the vital moments in the history of our species, perhaps only overshadowed by the formation of the Council of Nations. Now we Unicob may overshadow even that for our journeys outwards will perhaps lead to the duty of the Sapient Research Directory being set out to be enforced. Considerations are most noted as we reach out.
It is most vital we spread out and learn more of this existence. May the willing of us all lead us to prosperity for the Unicob species!

It is most vital we spread out and learn more of this existence. May the willing of us all lead us to prosperity for the Unicob species!
OCC: I'm just pretending that we have all developed intergalactic communication and universal translators and that we have already opened up diplomatic relations, to stop headaches later.
Pretending we have intergalactic communication doesn't stop headaches, it kills a lot of role play and possibilities.
... I'm sorry but my interest dies if we are having instant IC communication. I'll still give half hearted actions if need be but I won't care. I actually liked the idea of an iot game where we all didn't have instant communication and a UN. I figured that was what this was. I was really looking forward to all the first contact situations and the spread of communication and thus the rivalries and friendships already developed in closed systems.

That's a shame. Although I think the insta-communications bit is Tyo's idea, not mine.
