[ooc]Here is todays update, it took me a little longer to do this one than normal, because of the decisions I had to make on what to do with the Reich. Also we begin to explore the systems around Sol![/ooc]

[ooc]Now for the story![/ooc]
Venus : Tritanium 1,465,068(0.1) Mercassium 937,644(0.4) Uridium 29,667,630 (0.1)
May 30th The original estimates for the amount of minerals on Venus are shown to have been extremely inaccurate. The FSNA Main Council is extremely pleased by the new minerals that have been found on Venus, and direct more infrastructure its way. Faith Aras also the headache of governing the newly acquired lands in Europe which encompass many different cultures, he eventually decides to let them elect governors based on districts, which are basically divided by culture groups. The Ottoman Empire and Japan have also forced the surrender of the German Ships in orbit of planet, and its two survey vessels quietly surrender as well. The people who had been subjugated by the German Reich during WW2 were grateful to the Ottoman Empire and welcomed them with open arms, but unfortunately they were the minority these days, as the German Reich had committed mass genocide against the Slavs, the Hungarians, and The Greeks. The German populace on the other hand took up arms and started to fight back only to be crushed when Ottoman TN heavy armor vehicles roll into the area to act as a beginning occupation force while the garrison squadrons are trained. The Ottoman Empire also walks away with a giant amount of wealth and captured technology amounting to 15 techs, along with the techs they also got 5 shipyards 3 naval and 2 commercial. One naval has 1 slipway with a capacity of 15,000, and the two others have 1 slipway and 10,000 capacity, while the first commercial one has 3 slipways and 80,000 capacity, and the other has 1 slipway with 50,000 capacity.
June 28th The Ottoman Empire delivers the first colony transport to the moon, Faith Aras gives a television speech to his people stating that with the newly acquired German tech and ships, and that they will push their new advantage and colonize the system. They also send the newly built Brandenberg to go and explore through the new jump points discovered from the German computer systems. The nations of Earth are also facing serious uprisings because of the nuclear fallout and dust that now covers the Earth, the FSNA has seen the worst of it having lost 12 million people to radiation thus far, although their population growth seems to be outpacing the deaths. The Ottoman Empire have also laid down their first colony ship in a shipyard captured from the German Reich, whose shipyards far outstrip the Ottoman Empire’s singular shipyard.
June 30th Transit! This is a great moment for Humanity, the first a human has ever travelled to another solar system! The system is the Binary star system known on Earth based star charts as Sirius, Sirius A has a terrestrial planet with Nitrogen-Oxygen Atmosphere, but it is relatively hot being 89 degrees Celsius at the equator. Sirius B is unremarkable to the crew of the Brandenberg it only has on terrestrial planet, but it has a very hostile atmosphere and surface temperature, and most likely couldn’t be terraformed. The Brandenberg then transits back into Sol to deliver the news to Fatih Aras. He takes the news very happily, especially since it appeared that Sirius A 3 was a prime candidate for terraforming and colonization, but he remarked that they would have to wait for a geological survey to be completed to truly find out if it was worth it. The FSNA High Command though is having a fit at the sudden disappearance then reappearance of the newly acquired Ottoman ship, because they have no way to explain what just happened. The Brandenberg is ordered to check out the rest of the jump points discovered before reporting back to him, and to only report back after a jump if they find something incredibly important. The FSNA is also celebrating the fact the temperature on Mars is now above 1 degree Celsius
July 3rd The First civilian colony ships have been launched by the newly created Karababa Corporation. Faith Aras is pleased at how fast they can turn out ships compared to the slow moving German Shipyards, but that is to be expected since they were only recently conquered. The number of reservations for colony ships off Earth in the FSNA have reached an all time high, with there being way to many for the FSNA to keep up, prompting them to build more colony ships.
July 8th Transit! The Brandenberg arrives in what is designated as Proxima Centauri, a singular m6-v class star. It has 3 terrestrial planets, one of which stuns the crew of the Brandenberg as they scan it, it already has a biosphere, but after further scanning it has a gravity of 2.18, which isn’t suitable to humanity and they transit back to sol without reporting this news.
July 12th The Karababa Corporation launchers 3 more ships all luxury cruiseliners, Faith Aras commends the corporation for taking the initiative for the future of humanity and awards them 5,000 credits.
July 20th The Karababa Corporation launches yet another 3 colony ships, its ability to churn out ships greatly outpaces the ability of the Ottoman Shipyards right now, but that will change in the future.
August 1st Transit! The crew of the Brandenberg find themselves in the WISE 1506+7027 system. The System itself is relatively uninspiring, although it has a lot of planets; none of them are easily colonisable.
August 6th Two more Lexington-class Destroyers from the FSNA launch today, although unknown to FSNA all of their firepower near earth is completely outmatch by what the Ottoman Empire and the Empire of Japan can bring to the table if they attack them near earth.
