Well guys it looks promising so far with the latest update from Templar Command. There already appears to be another suitable would with the chance of good mineral deposits. The other two clans seem to think that rapid expansion is the way to go. What are my fellow miners thoughts?

Greetings, Clan Javat. I, acting as an envoy from the Exalted Clan Moklumnue, have come to you with a simple agenda. Our Empire currently stands on the cusp of a most momentous event, establishing our first fledgling colonies. As such, I feel that our strategy needs to be carefully considered because the tone and method of our opening will set the overall strategy for our Empire for years to come.
Thulun seems to be pushing for a very conservative, measured approach to expansion. They are pushing for the system directly above Thulun Prime, and I feel that is not in our empires best interest.
Keep in mind, I am not speaking for all of the Exalted Clan Moklumnue, this is simply a concerned councilor approaching your clan for an off-the-record discussion.
I feel that Thulun should push their first colony to either the lower right system or push for a system in the central right region, which is unscouted at the moment, the upper left region, which is also unscouted at the moment, or the lower left sector, which has a very high chance of having an unoccupied sector just behind the second asteroid belt.
Why do I feel that? If Thulun places its colonies in defensive positions that can draw the xeno, we can not only bottleneck the xeno and easily control active fronts in our campaign of cleansing, but we can also hold the safer, core worlds for our clans to build into spectacular economic drivers of our Empire's economy.
If you of Clan Javat agree with me, I can push my agenda within the Exalted Clan Moklumnue as well as approach Thulun with the same agenda.
I, of course, would owe your clan a debt of gratitude for your backing. I would be most amenable to paying your clan back at a later date.
We, as a united front, would also have to be willing to potentially extend our gratitude to House Thulun for its cooperation as well.
What say you, noble Javat?

Give us time Noble johndramey. We are very busy with our mines at the moment and it's hard to get all of us here for a decision. There are so many things on the table at the moment. Strike Fighters, expansion, further exploration. I myself just want to dig. The latest map update shows a planet called New Haven which has got my attention. The possible amount of minerals is mind boggling. At the moment, I can say this as a possible idea, 1: Further exploration outside of the belts should be held off. 2: New colonies should be built for all very quickly but not in a way that drains the treasury to fast. 3: If Thulun can start building ships while also expanding their Prime and any new colonies that doesn't hurt the overall Empire, then they should do so. Please feel free to drop by anytime, we enjoy having visitors. Just because we spend most of our time underground doesn't mean we don't enjoy getting together for an impromptu party. |

ntsheep, thank you for your gracious response. I do have two small question to pose. What risk is there in continued scouting? As it is now, we have uncovered a very minuscule section of the quadrant and only have 3 possible expansion systems. That leaves exactly 1 for each of our clans if the systems are divided evenly. We need to prepare for the future, and that requires reconnaissance. Who is to say whether Thulun can build and maintain a ship or a fleet in regards to the empire's economy? The Empire as a whole should make that decision, and I am hesitant to fund additional military vessels this early in our expansion. Even a simple $100 credits wasted this early in our Empire's history can have enormous negative consequences in 2 years time. Is there not some way for us to compromise on the issues I brought forth? I can say, off the record, that much of the Exalted Clan Moklumnue agrees with my proposal. We would very much like to consider Clan Javat as a like-minded colleague when it comes to running the Empire, and are very much willing to work with your esteemed clan to the benefit of all.

johndramey I'm not totally opposed to further scouting. I do think all those new anomalies should be explored. That would best be done during new colonies being setup so there is a chance that they benefit from it. I think final say so on any ships being built should be left to the Templar Command, but believe that any one of us clans should be able to have a ship if we wish it. If you have also managed to convince the Moks of your ideas I myself will not stand in the way. I hope my fellow Javetians will also join then. I'm a simple enough sheep to please. As long as I have mines to dig in, I pretty much just go with the flow. Mines are credits, I've not yet met anyone that doesn't like those. As always please feel free to drop in anytime.

I agree on further scouting of the immediate vicinity. We need to find new habitable worlds and anomalies. I also agree that the Templar have the final say on military ship production, but I say we hold off on that for now.

Ok fellow Javetians, should all research be focused on Starship? I think a balance of both would be best. Do one Starship, then one that leads to better colony buildings and such.

ntsheep, Industrious Clan Javat, we of Exalted Clan Moklumnue agree and have approached House Thulun with just such a proposal. If you check the proposal we submitted to them and find it satisfactory, please notify the Exalted Clan Moklumnue and we shall happily include you in our proposal. A united technology proposal is beneficial to us all, is it not?
