anyway, it's a pity that you don't understand finnish, there are many phrases which don't have exact translations in english. Ie: when the drunken engineer says "totaalisen perseet olalla"

stDarNES1: Stars! -- UPDATE 1
--------------------
GALACTIC NEWS ORGANIZATION (NDE 2)
Stellarcasting to you live across the 3rd Dimension, this is Galactic News Tonight. I'm your host, Mr. Grey. Once again, tonight we will be taking you to the Backwater Region, where several groups of primitive bi-pedal hominids are pretending they know what a 'Civilization' is. And bringing you this update on their painfully slow process is Mr. Dee. Hello, Mr. Dee!!
Greetings and hello, Mr. Grey. Well, I wish I could give some good news, but unfortunately these primitives are now pushing well beyond their originating star systems. Perhaps if things get out of hand, we can call the Exterminator. hehe.
Uh, right, anyway.. Here's the Scoop!
Astral Sojourners
Backwater Patrol is sent to Enemsi System. The scoutship enters the system and is immediately set upon by a small fleet of pirates. Backwater Patrol is destroyed, but not before sending back information about Enemsi: MDP 5, the system has great development potential. The single water moon of the fifth planet appears to be the staging point for the Pirates, with an estimate total population of 4,500.
ASTRAL SOJOURNERS: -1 Scoutship (Backwater Patrol)
Two new fleets are assembled: Military Exploration Group and Military Investigation Group. MEG is sent to Sabro, which turns out to be a wholly unremarkable, and near-empty Star System (MDP 2). However, one of the smaller worlds is found to have the unmistakeable energy signature of the Old Dominion. There are no life scans, only ruins, and scientists on Oncol are pressuring the government to establish a colony there to study the ruins.
MIG is sent to Broder, which is only slightly more remarkable than Sabro (MDP 3). Other than 4 planetary bodies and a thin asteroid belt, there is nothing of note in Broder System.
Jaenar Empire
Some juicy news here. A strike on the Jaenaran Homeworld has caused the current production of Fighters to be slowed (only 25 were built). The Scoutship located at Hern continued studying the Star System, but did not learn anything of note (unless you like to know the exact trajectories of the system's comets).
On the more exciting front, the 1st IFE jumped to Pillius, opening fire on the lone Zairan Scoutship, completely obliterating it. These warmongering intentions might be why Jaenaran scientists were fully funded to develop the next level of starship weapons.
Perhaps due to this military fervor, production was halted temporarily on the Global Research Facility.
Skyjack Conclave
Tumbleweed makes the jump to the Vayin System (MDP 2). A system of mostly small, rocky planetoids, the crew of the Tumbleweed does make a significant discovery: 5 derelict Old Dominion Cruisers!! This data is quickly sent back to Lambert's Ring, for the Conclave to digest. The ships are currently powered down and quite old, and will require a significant amount of attention to become usable again, probably requiring a small colony to engage in the restoration. Communication is also made with the Imperial Republic of Trinity!!
Meanwhile, the crew of the scoutship Thistledown jump to Nos. Most of the planetary bodies are rocky shells with very little worth mentioning, but the third body from the sun is a lush paradise world with a thick and heavy atmosphere. Thistledown's scanners jump off the charts on the bio-readings!
Back at Lambert's Ring, the Conclave is pushing an extensive amount of money into developing more Birthing Rocks and constructing the Madya Halo. There is extensive amounts of cooperation and subcontracting occuring across all the Corps.
Imperial Republic of Trinity
In honor of one of their pilots, the Trinity has renamed the COTEYI System to HARI. Also in honor of this brave pilot, the Hari System was colonized by 3,000 brave volunteers, marking the first extra-system colonization effort by any Faction.
Scoutship Obelisk makes the jump to the Vayin System (MDP 2). There are 4 Old Dominion Cruisers (see above). Contact is made with the Skyjack Conclave!!
Scoutship Sypher makes the jump to Quostellis and finds a system that might have once been beautiful, but a malfunctioned Old Dominion Defense Net appears to have drained its resources over the last 200 years by taking shots at the various planets. Trinity scientists are hopeful that with the proper investment, a colony in Quostellis could make use of the pre-existing Defense Net.
Scoutship Ra makes the jump to Nolat (MDP 5). There are two bio-diverse planets in the System, off-the-charts with organisms no more highly evolved than insects and worms.
Trinity scientists have unlocked the secrets of Energy 2, and with it the knowledge of how to Terraform planets one extra MDP (shown in parentheses for planets you control). Project Monty Python is also begun, to get 'more bang for the buck' on ship construction.
Haven
Scoutship Silence jumps to the Byblos System, finding a Star System full of bio-diversity and rich in minerals (MDP 9). In particular, the fourth planet in the system seems to be made for human life, matching almost every ideal searched for. A Colony Fleet is launched from Xanthus Prime, and is expected to colonize Byblos in NDE 3 (don't forget to put it in your orders).
More research is put into Construction. The SpaceStation at Xanthus Prime finishes construction of a new scoutship (Blue Flame), and 10 new Transports.
Free Republic of ZIB
Republic Scientists have unlocked secrets of genetics, allowing them to modify (with success) the human DNA structure. This has lead them to present the Republic leadership with a proposal to create "GenTroops" to protect Republic interests.
Black Diamond Skunk is enroute to Ophius, scheduled to exit jumpgate on NDE 3. Midnight Marauder runs from the Asgron Pirates, jumping into an available gate and ending up in Domaar. The crew is unbelieving when they read through the scanner reports - 2 derelict Old Dominion Battleships have been found!! Surely with the proper investment, the Republic could make use of these. The transport fleet Jewels of Ethiopia makes the jump to Kondis, awaiting orders (and funding) to colonize the Star System.
Also, the Republic has begun a project called simplet the "Sound System." It is a three stage project expected to take MANY years to complete fully, but will allow the Republic to more easily spread its faith.
However, all is not cheerful on Zadon. A fringe movement has been speaking out against the government, and is beginning to gain a significant following. -1 CONFIDENCE
Miria
A Colony Fleet is sent to Centaus, and is awaiting orders (and funding) to colonize the System. Expeditionary Fleet 1 jumps to Kalekka, receiving a major surprise: the system is currently inhabited by a small faction calling themselves the "Metrev Theocracy." EF1 receives this communication: "zzT; Aliens.. remove your ship from our space IMMEDIATELY, or suffer the consequences. 'Tzz" 25 fighters surround EF1, awaiting response.
Meanwhile, EF2 makes the jump to Emey. It is a small, but decent system (MDP 4). Oddly, an asteroid fields maintains the innermost orbit, with 6 small planetoids (no gas giants) comprising the rest of the system. Planets 2 and 4 seem to be the most habitable (with minimal effort).
The Mirians also throw their entire economy into Construction research, and have become the first Faction able to independently produce CRUISERS.
Principality of Zaira
The people of Zaira are in unrest. No production, and banked EP is lost through a surge in crime and corruption. The Scoutship at Pillius was annihilated by a Jaenaran warfleet.
ZAIRA: -1 Scoutship (Hern)
And that's all I have for you, Mr. Grey.
Thank you, Mr. Dee. That was most informative.
Next, a trans-dimensional being from Zortor who claims to be channeling Elvis. But first, a word from our sponsor....

Stories, people. Please.
-KrimzonStryker - are you still in the game? I did not receive orders from you. If you miss one more update I will post your Faction as NPC (or let me know when you'll be back).
-I'll say it again: Ships CANNOT be used the same turn they are built.
Story Bonuses:
-Astral Sojourners - +5 Transports
-Skyjacks - +1 to Project: Madya Halo
-Haven - +1 Confidence
ORDERS DUE Wednesday, Jan 11.

Kam - PM me your Faction Info, included which Star System you'd like to start in.
Gelion - If KrimzonStryker does not return for this upcoming update, he will be NPC'd, and you are more than welcome to join.
That is my limit, though, because these updates are CRAZY long (about 4 hours).
