The Empire finishes their fuel efficiency project (0.
. The Emperor orders them to continue fuel efficiency research to “make us energy independent”
With more financial centres coming online The Empire also resumes construction of a missile defence PDC as well as converting mines to automated mines.

(side note Rand Paul led a filibuster for 60 hours on the senate floor to try and prevent the increased government spending. Afterwards he was hospitalised for two weeks for exhaustion)
26th May
The Republic finishes research into warhead 5 per MSP. The Secretary for Science Bill Nye (the science guy) orders research to be split between two projects. 5 labs will research new fighter production techniques, while the other 15 will research new missile guidance thrusters (missile agility).
Missiles are also updated with the new warheads

The Shipyard of the Union is completed over Mars to much rejoicing (the government gets a bump in the opinion polls). With the completion of the shipyard the Ministry of Defence designs a number of ship classes
