I thought that it might be worthwhile to share databases, so that everyone can take a look around other player's Aurora empires.
Since I'm starting the topic, it would behoove me not to post my own:
Game/Database Version: 2.5.1
Game Name: The Age of Iron
Player Race: The Steel Federation
Game Year: 2087
General Overview: The Federation has spread out from Sol, and have discovered a total of 173 systems. Despite starting with two NPRs, the only aliens contacts that have presented themselves are solitary outposts of Rakhas and Precursors, the vile Raiders, and a single pre-TN race called the Arielb, who were first discovered in 2070, conquered shortly thereafter, and now make up 25% of the Federation's population. Due to a quirk of our starting scientists, which didn't include a Missiles / Kinetic Weapons specialist, and didn't produce one for many, many years, the Federation fleet follows a "lasers for everything!" high-speed close combat doctrine.
It probably goes without saying, but make sure that you either place the database in a brand new installation, or make a backup of your own database before downloading - don't want anyone losing their games!
I've also included an image pack for any graphics that my database uses that don't come with the regular installation, so that you won't get a bunch of error messages when you try to open it up.
