Excerpt from.... HIPPO'S BOOK OF PLANET
PLANETFALL! Eager Spartanian citizens flock into the streets of Sparta Command! The Paranoid Colonel Corazon Santiago watches with glee as her loyal followers grab their uzis, glocks, and 9's and begin shooting up the rugged, rainfall deprived territory. Free ammo is supplied, courtesy of Spartan Ammo Inc.
Mission Year 2101: With Sparta Command firmly established upon Planet, a Scout Rover batallion is dispatched to investigate a nearby Pod Beacon. Surprise! To Santiago's dismay, it is merely a resupply pod worth 25 energy credits. The Rover presses on into the xenofungal unknown....
A promising young Talent by the name of Hippo is promoted to Vice-Colonel, and immediately declares a 25% reduction in price on all imported Bazookas!
Mission Year 2102: Something to appease the intellectuals, and occupy their thoughtful days...Hippo thinks long and hard before ordering the pursuit of Social Psych (B1) that Recreation Commons might shut up the dissenters within, and that maybe, just maybe, the Glorious and Violent Spartainian Federation might uncover the Secrets of the Human Brain first! Take that, Provost!
Mission Year 2103: A minerals pod is uncovered by the valiant Scout Rover, allowing for the completion of a second Scount Patrol unit to defend Sparta Command.
Mission Year 2104: Hippo naps in peace. Weapons sales continue to rise, despite lack of enemies.
Mission Year 2105: Exploration continues as two Scout units ascend a rather large mountain. No volcanic activity here, unfortunately
. A feasable Base site is discovered by the second Colony pod.
Mission Year 2106: Monolith uncovered! Make sure it's inside the damn radius! Decrees Vice Colonel Hippo, as the colonizers approach their destination.
Mission Year 2107: Heros Waypoint becomes the second Spartanian Base on Planet, just squares away from the Headquarters. To Hippos delight, the trailing Scount Rover uncovers ENERGY resources and an Alien Artifact just miles away from the city centre!
Mission Year 2108: The Spartan Federation makes its first technological breakthrough on Planet! (Unfortunatly, the University made Planet's first breakthrough in 2105) Mind worm aggression in the North marrs an otherwise pleasent year, but the rowdy group of Scout Rovers make quick work of their psych-@$$es, gathering 10 energy credits from husks, and reached VETERAN status! Hippo awards each with a new laserproof vest.
Mission Year 2109: Applied Physics is the FUTURE! Declares Spartan State Radio, after a meandering Scout Patrol uncovers this precious data within a Unity Pod. Not long after this, the station is broadcasting live feed as Colonel Corazon Santiago makes First Contact with Sister Mirian Godwison of the Lord's Believers! The ignorant Believers request Applied Physics in exchange for their world map. Stuff it, declares Santiago! The last thing these fanatics need is new and improved weaponry! A Treaty of Friendship is signed, however, and Borders are established on the West Side of what appears to be the Freshwater Sea. The Artifact is stored in Heros Waypoint.
Mission Year 2110: Another Alien Artifact is uncovered by the valiant Scout Rover.
Mission Year 2111: Centauri Ecology! In all it's terraforming glory. Engineers in Sparta Command propose new units with which to build roads (that we might reach New Jeruselum with greater swiftness, suggests Hippo maliciously). More Mind Worm presence in the Northern Xenofungus, but they are easily disposed of by our Veteran Rover.
Mission Year 2112: Again and again! Everywhere you think Mind Worms are there to disrupt the thought process! The Spartanian Paramilitary Legion dispaches these menaces, so that the citizens might stay safe within their Bases.
Mission Years 2113-2116: The Age of Exploration. Hippo sends troops out in different directions to map the immediate area. Two Colony Pods can be expected within 5 or so years. The Citizens rejoice with a massive 'War Games' day in the streets of Sparta Command. Hippo looks on, and wonders what the future will bring.

My prediction on the next turn: The next commander shall bring good infrastructure to the Spartan Empire
Ah, And now the epic tale continues... 
You probably won't have to fill in all the 'white noise' that I did (there isn't much to talk about when you have two units and 10 squares explored 
It will be key for us to box the Believers in, so that when we do decide to finish off this heavily armed menace, we can attack from all sides without fear of a sneak attack from the back.
