Nemesis: year 2 (2026)
Global temperatures have increased to 14.73 in the last year, at this rate earth will become uninhabitable without infrastructure by 2035, however as nemesis will get significantly closer as it passes in 2050 the stellar instability is sure to increase severely before then. Earths first terraforming station has been constructed by the United Nations Coalition and has quickly come online, tasked with adding recently developed anti greenhouse gasses in order to offset the temperature increase, a second terraforming station is due in one year. Primary industry goals are set to increasing factory production, research, and mining with secondary goals of more shipyards and 2 additional PDCs. Production of 200 infrastructure a year is enough to support the growing Martian colony which has now reached .9 million as a result of a marathon year long effort by the UNF HG Wells which has been making a trip every 12 days, offloading 30000 colonists and the infrastructure to support them. By the end of the coming year transport capacity will increase to 4 million colonists a year with the completion of a second H G wells class, and the first double sized Robert heinlein class.
There's no shortage of volunteers for relocation with the recent news also showing that mars is experiencing the same level of temperature increase as the Earth, however Something needs to be cut for more infrastructure production.
Relations with the other powers are strained but a diplomatic team is sent to the pan American states in the hope of getting a valuable trading partner from what's left of our former allies.
Research is slow but focused on increasing research production then construction, first will be done mid 2026, next by January 2027.
Our navy seems to be poor considering the growing number of ships showing up on sensors.
The solitary United Nations TNE survey ship has completed surveys of every planet and moon up to Uranus, after completing surveys of Neptune and it's moons the UNF Hematite will return to earth to refuel and for shore leave, on the way surveying comets in the vacinity.
The UNS Hawking has discovered 3 jump points in the solar system, the first leading to lalande 21185 which has three marginally habitable planets, the next to alpha centauri which has more bodies but of less quality, including an interesting trio of high pressure greenhouse worlds orbiting close to alpha b. the third jump point is due to be explored by the UNs only jump capable ship soon, the UNS Pegasus is a 4500 ton lightly armed scout vessel with minimal sensors, but in invaluable as the only ship capable of transporting our other survey ships, at least until the first gauss equipped 8100 ton jump destroyers come online later this year. As it approaches JP 3 the Pegasus noticed a recently constructed jump gate, the other powers have been busy as a gate was also recently found at the L 21185 point.
Puderbach Shipyard is expanding to 92000 tons to match the jump drive developed last year, its pair of slipways should start work on new higher capacity ships by November this year, mere months after they finish the heinlein, and the first pure freighter, the 2 hold Lloyds f class.
Hartley- chandler yards is working on a second slipway, meanwhile making a second hg wells.
Charpentier-Maxime works on a second 8100 ton missile destroyer, and expanding to a second yard.
And finally martineau-hubberts 3 slipways work on producing more FACs while expanding to 8100 tons.
The next few years should concentrate on exploration, specifically the need to find a suitable world to evacuate to in this regard it's recommended that one of the shipyards retools for making new jump capable survey ships.
