The “1st Battle Fleet” has finally been assembled, the last two classes used in have finally been built. The Hermes class Area Defence Cruiser is designed to protect the Anubis Cruisers long enough to fire their missiles. Once sufficient missiles are assembled to fill their magazines, they will start task group training, while the jump tender sends a survey ship through the wormhole to explore it. Also shown below is the Tapajo Command Ship, with the very powerful Raven Search Sensor to back up the fleet.
Also newly established is a new civilian mining outpost on another asteroid. The first one has grown to 3 automated mines,

Our first jump-point transit has led to Ross 128. It is a fairly unremarkable system, with a planet similar to Frigid Reach, except without a breathable atmosphere; it’s 80% hydrogen, and has a colony cost of 3. The only other possible candidates for habitation are two moons orbiting a gas giant, with a colony cost of 6 and 7. Jump point survey will begin first, and then geological.
