No longer bound to a single world you reach your grasp out to new stars. Your newly crafted general Predator Nekris commands the first of your FTL-powered ships, exploring a nearby star.
Think Tanks pulse with increased power and knowledge, the Cauldron-born soldiers moving with a grace and cohesion they had lacked before. The wrecks of the former Osjiic and Dagger fleets are converted with increasing speed and efficiency, the first group of Corvettes and Frigates lifting off the surface of the moon as their shields glimmer into being.
Your living enslaved work and toil on Horizon's Drop, former warriors reduced to farmers, ranchers, miners and hunters to fuel your conquest. Loyal subjects are already emerging among their ranks. Jor, the very first being you subjugated upon your release, was a valuable asset at keeping the populace motivated and in order. The nameless Voidsinger, who's heart of ultraviolet flames consumes him a little more each day, has come to see you as a worthy leader and commander after growing discontent with the Osjiic Empires rule.
Even among the the original colonists your power has impressed and awed a number of the population. Despite the drastic change in leadership their life has remained mostly unchanged if a little busier than before. The Osjiic and Dagger were being slightly more resistant to your charms, the metal spikes weighing heavy in their bodies with their loss still fresh.
It is time for you to make your claim on this universe.
You are Jadyk the Conquering Worm and the Galaxy will fear, may even worship you in time.
Awww sheeeit niccuh.
Is it my favorite time of the week already?

Consult your top ethicists.
We need to start making some gains in infrastructure. It's the only way to compete with the other empires. We're a speck right now compared to them.

Completed Research:
>Stonestar Dissection: The strange creatures you've dubbed the Stonestars, they have no true name for themselves, referring only to their clan names and titles, are strange creatures. Five-limbs arranged radially around a central body, the stonestars brains are partially distributed throughout the limbs with the main hub of the body devoted to its digestive system and other internal organs. Their bodies are mildy caustic naturally and they appear to use that to create armor and camouflage for themselves out of volcanic rocks. The corpses you studied show signs of vivisections and surgery scars, several of their limbs containing long obsidian carved blades, a trio of stingers much like your Sting Whip, and at least one of them had a large acid gland at the base of one limb.
>Beached corpse dissection: This strange marine creature is quite large, stretching nearly 30meters from tentacle to flat tail. It's hide is made up of dense hide and blubber, its body showing many scars both old and new. It's underbelly was a mass of undulating flippers it used to move in nearly any direction in the water while its tail was used for speed and travel. It's face contains a mass of tentacles and cilia covered tendrils surrounding a circular maw filled with grinding teeth. With no eyes to speak of it appeared to communicate and visualize its surroundings with electroreceptors and an organ that could produce and receive sonar signals. It's tendrils would snatch small fish or eels to eat or draw in large amounts of the fast-growing kelp.
>Ship Fuel Harvesting/Refining: By repairing and studying the two smaller refueling and processing stations on the gas giants moons your Think Tanks can now create refueling plants with their own harvesting drones to collect the gases from gas giants used to fuel FTL engines.
time to start ethic's policy les go
>>43877451
Gained:
>Cluster Sting Whip: Similar to your original Sting Whips, the cluster version has three smaller and weaker strength barbs. Instead of a grappling or disarming weapon the barbs of the cluster sting whip are hollow can deliver a toxic payload from the venom or acid gland at the root of the organ. Cost: The venom or acid glands cost
>Sonar: By adding a special organ to a units neck and chest cavity they can now emit and detect sonar signals that are out of the range of hearing of many races. Allows vision in aquatic areas but useless in a vacuum. Cost: 2B
Your new Stonestar captive complains of the dry and cold air compared to their humid planet but they follow you around your original Mining base carefully. It's large eyes examine the alien world, the first of its kind that it knew of to leave their world and travel to a new one.
Lorgul and Agona work tirelessly, organizing troops and inspecting the installations of weapon mounts thoroughly. They were eager to tend to your warmachine and even more eager to test out their might against a worthy foe.
Nekris sits in his chair of bone and muscle as his corvette drifts through the distant system once his ships rejoined. There were still two more world for him to explore in the light of a foreign star.
There was much to attend to.
What shall you do first?

Okay this is interesting. Somebody or something is turning these guys into an army to battle the followers of the serpents. I really want to find out who now.

We really need to make more troops and ships, but I can't be assed to do math right now.
>>43877884
Also give everyone sonar, this is just common sense.
>>43877934
Not everyone, just our sensory specialized units.
