A Step Into Space

The Cybran People's Federation threw themselves into the dawning age with a vigour rarely seen in any society. Immediately as they crossed the threshold needed for interstellar civilisation they began extensive programs to expand their reach, and their society. The first starship was laid down, research was done, technologies were enhanced and the people hoped. Truly, it was a remarkable time

BuTech would like to advise the ministers that we have achieved new capabilities in sensor systems across the board. Sensor Tech Level is now 2.

BuCon would like to inform the ministers that upon consideration, 18 fighters will be built in the time it was projected for 8. We hope Commander Ground Forces is pleased with this news. Work has started on the CPN Cherenkov and is projected to complete next month.​

Internal Memo

The new sensor tech is good, but it isn't what I'd hoped. Perhaps an alternative method of sensing would allow for better long range scan capabilities. An enhanced knowledge of physics should enable new techniques, so research efforts will be directed there. Research into better laboratories should remain the same, but the funding previously directed at sensors should now be spent on physics.

Internal Memo

MiniNavy accepts the ministers decision to place ships with primary non-military functions. However, we do wish our protest to be included in records. MiniNavy respects our cybercomrades wishes and will step aside.

-Admiral Molotov-6

Leaked Internal Navy file

Attention all Navy personnel. Admiral is currently not in a good mood, as such it is suggested people do not bug him just about anything. Especially anything related to the new ships.

-Secretary of Admiral
 
Internal Memo

MiniLearn would like to note the new vessel is to be noted as Cybran Exploration Fleet (CEF) Cherenkov, as a non combat vessel.
 
BuCon has noted MiniLearn's objection and will reprint the name stencils.
 
The Ministry of Population would also like to consider designating all future colony and transport ships in a similar way. Current possibilty is either to mark them separately, for example CCS for Cybran Colony Ship and CTS for Cybran Transport Ship. Or we could use one umbrella term for both types of ship. In the latter case, all trade and transport ships could be designated CTS or something similar, standing for either trade or transport. This could simplify matters, or it could cause confusion. This is a question that concerns any Ministry likely to be involved with trade ships.

After consideration, Navy wishes to put forward a motion to be prefixed as follows:

Cybran Peoples Navy - CPN - Military vessels
Cybran Exploration Fleet -CEF - Exploration and Intelligence
Cybra Construction Vessel - CCV - Colonization and possible long range construction
Cybran Trade Ship- CTS - Trade and transportation

Space stations shall be labeled either as Cybran Military Station, CMS, if their main purpose is of military applications, either ground or naval operations. Civilian space stations shall be labeled as Cybran Space Stations, CSS.

Individual ship names shall be up to departments who have control over vessels.

All in favor?

OOC: Current support: 5/9.

MiniPop accepts this proposal on utilitarian grounds, as all ships under the mandate of any particular Ministry will remain so, the formation of formalized ships' designations for clarity and simplicity is important.
 
Internal Memo:

Ministry for Industry would like to query MiniTech about the viability of mining the nearby asteroid fields in the near future. As it currently stands, we understand that we are unable to do so.

- Varya Volkova, Minister of Industry
 
The Aye's have it with a response from five of the eight key Ministers. Motion passed. Ships will be entitled according to the plan set out by MinNav.
 
Regarding Asteroid Mining

I have a vague idea of how to get our mining equipment spaceborn, but nothing in the near future. Give it a couple of years, and we'll see.

Ministry of Foreign Affair supports the motion by the Admiral.

On a personal note, I would like to request that the flagship of the navy be given the permanent designation of the Brackman, this name to be transferable if or when the flagship changes.

"When this shipyard was envisioned, we knew nothing of the future to come. We still know very little of what is out there. We can see stars, light years away, but know little of the planets that orbit them. Perhaps there are inhabitable planets. Perhaps, there are others like us, travelling, exploring, looking for comrades. This is the Exploration Fleets mission. To seek out new stars, new planets... new life. And this, it is with great pleasure that I, Secretary of the Cybran People's Federation, do name this ship the CEF Cherenkov!"
-Speech given by General SecretaryKoslov

BuCon would like to announce the completion and launch of the CEF Cherenkov. It is currently fully crewed and supplied, in orbit around Cephedri. Also, a new research centre has been completed in the capital, on the orders of MinTech and MinFinAff.

BuTech would like to inform the ministers of a breakthrough in Formula studies.

Message from the CEF Cherenkov:
"This is the Cherenkov. Working up trials are complete, awaiting orders."

Public Announcement

Navy wishes good luck and great success to our brave comrades on board CEF Cherenkov. Maybe your voyage be safe.

Internal Memo

Well, since our esteemed cybercomrades, in their... infinite wisdom... have chosen to give our new scouting vessels to MiniLearn, we will not issue orders to Cherenkov. Still, we will advice our comrades in MiniLearn to consider following: Cherenkov should first focus in scouting out the nearest stars to us. Pop in, record the area, return and head to next system. Better to know our surroundings before heading to deepers space.

-Admiral Molotov-6
 
Orders to the Captain of the CEF Cherenkov

Proceed through each wormhole in turn in our system, only doing an initial examination of each system and then return to home. Make our nation proud.
 
Message from the CEF Cherenkov:
"Orders recieved and understood. Cherenkov out."

Date: 2400.03

The Cherenkov's first voyage after slipping its moorings took it through the warp point nearest to Cephedri. Just as predicted, entering the worm hole took it an incredible distance and it finally emerged into a system that the star-charts listed as Vega. Immediately, its sensors detected a pair of gas giants, each with a single moon. One of the moons was rocky, but it had an unhelpfully thick oxygen atmosphere.
- Cherenkov's Adventure, a history of the CEF's first vessel.


-An image of Vega thus far.

BuCon would like to report the completion of both the first seven F-1 fighters on Cephedri and the second explorer class, the CEF Landau. BuCon would further note that the eleven remaining F-1's will be completed in the middle of next month, at which point the yards will be empty.

Message from the CEF Landau:
"On Orbit, requesting orders."

Internal Memo

We wish to put forth a request for the design of a Ground Weapons Platform.

BuFor would bring the Ministers attention to the Missile bunker put forth as this design:

Would the minister prefer a gun armed design? Or are there other revisions required?

BuCon would like to request additional build orders, if the finances are available for them. We do not consider an empty shipyard to be a good use of our time, and there are plenty of lacking capabilities to be filled.

BuShips would like to ask if the Minister for the Navy would like the design of the Hammer and Anvil class frigates should be edited to include the upgrades to sensor systems, despite the additional costs?
 
Navy has considered and at this time, does not consider need to upgrade currently existing versions. Navy believes it is better we upgrade in one single batch, than constant revision which quickly make previous vessels obsolete and therefore drain on finaces. I am sure MiniFinances agrees with this assessment.

Navy wishes that MiniFinances greenlights the construction of four warships as of this time. Ships names have been decided. They are in the following list that has been attached to this message.

Attached list.

Orders to CEF Landau

Proceed to the second closest jump point and take a look through. I want to know what's out there.
