By the 10 year anniversary of the move off planet the future was filled only with hope. Although some worries of mineral sustainability were starting to appear, every faction had begun expanding. Some factions had started colonizing local bodies, others had started surveying jump points with plans to move off-system.
Miners of the Year*
1st: Tarn Collective
2nd: Syndicate
3rd: Martian Federation
4th: Empire of Venus
*Ranking by Duranium production + 1/10th Duranium Stockpile.
Two factions have Mercasium as their lowest mineral. The other two have Corbomite as their lowest.
News of the Years:
April 2033 Tarn Collective launches first Tolchoi
November 6, 2033: Martian military academy expansion completed
November 12, 2033: Venusians make first jump point discovery.
January 2, 2035:
Syndicate make first ground survey find, locating an additional 500,000 tons of 0.3 Sorium.
