Feburary 2043
An alien installation has been found on London A 1 which might boost production of research facilities located on the world, A1 is a terrestrial world with colony cost 2, a high surface temperature, .5 gravity, the diameter of mars, a .27 pressure atmosphere composed of 82% nitrogen and 18% oxygen, and the geology survey report is thus:
Neutronium 115k .6, Mercassium 3,125k .6, Sorium 4,884k .1, Uridium 5,189k .1, Corundium 4,301k .1
This looks like a good world for a colony, however at the present point the 9 billion kilometer distance from earth and the lack of infrastructure prevents any colony attempt.
Minerals have also been discovered on other worlds in London, the most significant being London A IV moon 4 with 1,438k Accessability Duranium as well as 500k .4 vendarite.

March 2043
Over 41 Million sorium has been discovered on London A VI with Accessability 0.7, this deposit is significantly more than is available in our home system and has secured our long term fuel needs. Large scale exploitation however shall wait with our pressing fuel concerns requiring fuel production slightly closer to home.
Research is complete on Active Search Sensor MR15-R1, Research begins on EM sensor sensitivity 8.
We can now design our long range AMM cruisers.

This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes
This design uses slightly more fuel efficient 79 Ep engines, and mounts twice as many launchers as the Edward VII destroyer, more importantly it mounts our new missile search sensors and is the first design to include shields, with strength 16 shields enough to stop a single missile that could damage 4 layers of armour.
However expansion of naval yard A will take 4 more years untill this ship will fit inside, Untill then another ship shall be designed for the yard, a destroyer squadron leader of 9000 tons equipped with a Jump engine and gauss cannon turrets for layered defencive fire

A very average design, too much was sacrificed in order to fit in the jump engines, however the anti fighter search sensor should prove useful.
Retooling will be complete by december.
April 2043
Naval yard B and C will be expanded to 9,000 tons.
May 2043
Retooling for Handy completed, 3 are ordered,ETC feburary next year, Expansion resumes.
Queen Elizabeth 4 Completed, it is kept unfuelled at earth.
Readymax frieghter 3 is sent home for overhaul, only freighter 3 shall continue delivery of Mines to Neujmin.
May 2043
Minerals Discovered on Schaumasse: Neut 9k .9, Corb 112k .9, Trit 14k 1, Merk 2k .7, Vend 20k .7, Urid 4k .7, Corun 5.4k .7
New jump point discovered in London, it has been designated Glasgow. 23 jump points remain to be surveyed.
As Geo survey of London A is almost complete, Resolution 2 ordered to wait at the glasgow jump point, Illustrious 2 Will be sent from Earth to accompany it into the system while Illustrious 2 continues the grav survey of London and Resolution 1 finished surveying the asteriods.
June 2043
A mass Driver is set up on Tempel 1, This will allow regular delivery of the much needed neutronium, 25% of our production comes from this comet.
Studies are complete for a colony on London A 1, Terraforming will only require 0.0518 atmospheres of oxygen and 0.09 Atmospheres of a suitable high atmospheric reflective aerosol, also known as "Antigreenhouse gas" in order to become habitable, while the resulting surface pressure will be half that of earth, no infrastructure will be required for a colony. This will require 142 Module years of terraforming, However the Duranium rich world of London IV Moon 4 would require 2 atmospheres of terraforming and still require infrastructure therefore it is not a good prospect for a colony. Work begins on the 2400 infrastructure required to support the 24 million population needed for a 10 research center colony, this colony will produce a significant 70% boost to vital construction and production research.
A colony ship will be required, It is hoped that our commercial shipyard will be able to produce this design as well as our freighters. It is based on an uprated 3 engine variant of our Handy class freighter. Shipyard expansion should support this increased size of vessel by the end of the year

July 2043
Illustrious 2 jumps into glasgow, it is a desolate system, with a single planet, Resolution 2 is sent to investigate while the Grav ship starts the survey.
Our income is now a concern, Governor of Earth Ryan Leach believes our emphasis on factory and mine expansion is the cause, and offers to step down so that an administrator with greater financial knowledge can take over.
New governor Sam Gibson immediately applies his knowledge towards providing a 25% wealth creation bonus as well as a 5% population growth.
Ryan Leach believes that a more long term solution to our financial problem would be creation of another colony closer to home than that planned in london, he offers his thus far untested terraforming knowledge to the task.
He is sent to mars to check on the geology team there, and to supervise a new colony, while the planet is devoid of any resources his factory production bonus would enhance any production there, it is decided that duranium shall be shipped there and future infrastructure will be created there, this will help with unemployment as well as give a financial incentive for a colony there.
September 2043
Readymax 4 starts delivering infrastructure and factories to Mars.
A small shuttle is developed in order to transport the starter colony onto mars.

This costs a third less than fuel refineries, but would require the construction of tankers, and a shipyard dedicated to producing it.
However continuing fuel shortages and the looming sorium shortage demands we take action, Commercial A therefore is retooled for the design, also work begins on commercial shipyard B.
Surface geology survey of mars completed, no valuable trans newtonian elements are discovered. The team is sent to Venus to hopefully uncover higher accessability resources.
October 2043
Hussain Intersteller launches it's first Small F3 class freighter, this vessel has 5 holds and isn't constrained by our administrations fuel concerns, a contract is drawn up for civilian delivery of 5 more automines to Neujmin.
Mars express begins it's colonist run to mars.
Retooling for Duke of York completed, the slipways have 2 almost completed Queen Elizabeth class in them, work will start on Duke of York Destroyers in feburary. Capacity expansion resumes.
Minerals discovered on Wolf-Harrington: Duran 14k 1, Neut 43k .7, Trit 12k .9, Merc 4k 1, Vend 5k .9, Urid 51k .7, Gall 18k .8.
January 2044
We now have a shortfall of funds, new missile construction is reduced by 80%. expansion of Naval C is paused at 81%, Construction of Mars express is halved, and Construction of Queen Elizabeth 8 is paused at 75%. Work on Mine and factory expansion is lowered significantly as new production represents a significant increace in debt.
Queen Elizabeth 6 & 7 completed. Work begins 2 Duke of York destroyer leaders.
Feburary 2044
Handy 1, 2, and 4 Completed on earth.The slipways need to remain empty untill june so construction can begin on our Handy 500 F fuel harvesters. This should save us some funds.
Work begins on scrapping the costly and obsolete Readymax 1 & 2.
June 2044
Retooling for Handy 15 F completed, 3 of the fuel harvester are started.
A new tanker is needed for retrieving fuel from the tankers once they are in service, as they only produce 120k fuel per year only a small tanker is needed. this mini tanker is designed;

October 2044
Readymax 3 & 4 are scrapped, our fuel reserves are now growing. Our destroyers are sent back on training.
January 2045
Research rate 240 research completed.
Work begins on engineering section small.
Our survey vessels return from Glasgow and london in order to refuel, glasgow still has 16 possible jump points to survey, while london merely has 6 left. Our grav vessels begin lengthy overhaul process.
March 2045
Geology survey of venus has yielded nothing, the team is sent to Wolf Harrington to survey the new mining operation being setup there.
Edward VII 1 & 2 completed, the paused Queen Elizabeth is resumed.
April 2045
Small engineering section research complete, Tiny engineering section started.
June 2045

As it is merely intended to get to saturn and back, a mere 6 billion kilometers away , 1,000 km/s is sufficient to do the job in just over 2 months, the higher efficiency engine will consume just 1,500 litres of fuel per trip and it's extreme range would actually allow it to travel to London B if necessary, if one was willing to wait 30 years for the journey.
A new Mars express shuttle is also possible with 40% more colonist capacity, the sacrificed speed is not a concern, as even at 500 km/s Mars is a mere 10 days journey, even loading colonists on earth takes longer than this. It's increased range also would allow it to drop off colonists at London A, but that shouldn't be necessary as dedicated colony ships should be ready by then.
