Representative of the Dalfea, Voros Wem'Vek
Collapsing onto the couch, thankfully in the privacy of your stateroom this time, you considered the difficult position you'd been put in since your ascension to member representative. Dozens of additional commitments of time, more scrutiny, and worst of all, the utter spite of the associate races. Thankfully you'd developed a little empathic ability, or you might have fallen for at least a few attempts by the Thraxxi or Velen ambassadors to drive you up a wall. As it was, the other representatives at least secretly felt empathetic for the difficulties the two had caused for you.
Probably worst of all things was the very clear expectation to commit a not-insignificant sum of energy to the federation regularly, a tax you were momentarily exempt from due to the ongoing crisis. You almost lept to your feet when a knock sounded at the door, before deciding to ignore the solicitor for their obviously malicious intents. Damned Solon, damned Veliana. Diplomacy was far harder than they thought it was!

Governor Dal'Mah
Management of the new starbase orbiting Ossina had brought some much-needed 'tourism' to the planet. Locals excitedly discussed news from the homeworld with the temporary workers, and a little extra attention was given to the infrastructure needs of the colonists. Still, all things being temporary, the first stage of construction had completed, and you had a decision to weigh in on.
[] [Starbase] Shipyards - Capacity of 4 size/turn
[] [Starbase] Trade Network - Increases trade power in the region by 3 (Overlap with home system trade hub, some loss)
[] [Starbase] Defense Network - Significantly toughens the starbase from attack
[] [Starbase] Private Dockyards - Increases regional trade network effectiveness by 2, increases all immigration pull to the least crowded worlds by 10% (flat additive)

Veliana Sek'Mah
With the introduction of a new starbase, there has been some talk of adjusting the Dallon station to fit a more specialized role.
[] [Specialization] Adjust Dallon to a drydock (Remove Trade Network, add Shipyards)
[] [Specialization] Adjust Dallon to a Trade Hub (Remove Shipyards, add Trade Network, change berthings to Market Exchange, increases regional trade production by +3 and granting 2 free energy/turn)
-Choosing this will cause the fleet to consume some resources each turn until a new fleet base with berthings is available.
[] [Specialization] No change, keep Dallon station as is

As the Most Beneficent Chancellor of the Dalfea people, it falls to you to direct the course of the ship of state. Your powers are far-reaching and with few caveats, but there is much to do. The complexities of government, and the slow cogs of state, limit you to TWO actions, or Focuses, this turn. You may also freely assign any unassigned tech or social dice to open projects, or reassign assigned dice.
Current Federal Agenda: Threat Alert
Gellar proposal completed - Next proposal on docket
Threat Containment Initiative (Federal Chairperson Proposing)
-The Psoq'a hives have become increasingly aggressive across the hyperspace lanes leading to Fafna. Xeno analysts are predicting a major offensive by the swarm within the decade, and military experts suggest a preemptive attack. We have no choice. In order to protect the Aldiron Arm and the lives of our sapient races, we must engage in a scorched-earth offensive against the swarm.
-Commit fleets, industry, and manpower to the joint offensive command.
Active Threat special effects:
Worlds will not be upset if their World Amenities needs are not met.
Militarism is becoming more popular.
Xenophilia is becoming less popular.

[] Colonize Ossina I (Seed population ~50,000, -4 Alloy)
-Colonize the tundra world of Ossina I. It will take several years for the colony to become fully established, and other costs in food, energy, or minerals may arise in that time. This planet is Mineral Poor (-50% final mineral output), and produces: 1*(Pops)+2d2 / 2 Mineral, 0.5*(Pops)+2d2 Energy, 2+0.5*(Pops) Food
[] Develop Favalan System (-1 Alloy, -2 Minerals, 1 Energy upkeep)
-Fill the system with orbital stations that provide a variety of resources and other bonuses (current stage 2 of 4) (stages here can give energy, minerals, flat sapiens trickle, or exotic gasses)
[] Develop Ossina System (-1 Alloy, -2 Minerals, 1 Energy upkeep)
-Fill the system with orbital stations that provide a variety of resources and other bonuses (current stage 0 of 2) (stages here will most likely give large research trickles, with a smaller chance of energy or minerals, or strategic resources)
[] Begin raising a Starbase over... (-5 Alloy, -3 Minerals, 4 Energy) - No valid systems at this time
-Now that Ossina is stable, it might be a good idea to build another starbase, either to facilitate trade or expand shipbuilding.
[] Dedicate shipyard space [Select order] Currently using all shipyards
-Begin construction of the ordered ships at a rate of 4 size/turn, and 1 Alloy/size.
[] Sortie [Fleet] to [Notable System OR Exercises] (Cost depends on the fleet)
-Sends the fleet out to reinforce a region, attack a threat, or just perform some fleet exercises and wargames in local space. Exercises can generate experience for officers, Order project progress, and rarely other things.
[] Design new ships (Assign tech dice)
-Focus some research efforts on new ship designs. The quality of the sum total check may enhance some components. Specific design in a subturn.

[] Aid the Offensive (Fleet commitment, Industrial Sector commitment, Population commitment)
-Our best predictions indicate the all-consuming Psoq'a are gearing up for a fresh offensive across the Aldiron-Fafna border region. The federation is requesting significant aid in forming and arming a massive invasion force to slash and burn Psoq'a hiveworlds and disrupt their preparations. Do your part in protecting the galaxy.

I was honestly hoping the roll would be more than an average 50's thing, then I could have justified it, but it only went to improving a tech die... and not even a crit-fail at that.

What I mean is do we have any preferred or masterd tactics of modern warfare? Like do we know how to hold position, how to take ground, how to use overwhelming firepower or overlapping fire, how to infiltrate, how to defend against e-war? We are planning to send some population to fight in a war and I'm not sure if our people know how to do it.

They have very little experience in void warfare, and only some understanding of the basics of an invasion. Commitments you make will be subordinate to the greater federal offensive anyway, so they might learn something.

The massive construction hanging in the heavens over Ossina lies all but complete, with the finishing touches being added at the order of the new stationmaster...
[] [Starbase] Ossina will be a drydock (add Shipyards - Capacity of 4 size/turn, gain Berthing Docks - Removes maintenance for docked ships)
[] [Starbase] Ossina will be a trade hub (add Trade Network - Increases trade power in the region by 3 (Overlap with home system trade hub, some loss), gain Market Exchange - +2 Energy/turn)
[] [Starbase] Ossina will be a private orbital (add Private Dockyards - Increases regional trade network effectiveness by 2, increases all immigration pull to the least crowded worlds by 10% (flat additive), gain Private Starbase - Gain some culture, some tech, some resources, or strengthen the attached regional merc company each turn)
If you pick private orbital, there will be a merc fleet that will do private protection details and such for the various other private ventures the orbital will produce, like leisure cruising or deep-space research and mining. You, or anyone else, can purchase the fleet at will. Picking Private Orbital dramatically increases the popularity of egalitarian ethos because of the unique niche it fills.

You look down at the innocuous little glass of water in front of you. Would the ancestors balk that your team had chosen to make it water-based? Would they laugh at the irony? As an erudite person an avid reader, you'd of course read the story of Halio's Fountain of Wisdom, where, supposedly, a single sip would grant any who partook from it a hundred years of knowledge and experience.
You eventually decide to laugh at the irony. Halio would have bemoaned his lifelong search twice if he could see the 'fountain' now. Every reservoir seeded with a little virus that would increase the intelligence of the Dalfea by almost double, indeed, 'a hundred years of knowledge in a single sip'.
Your dreams were troubled, but forgettable. And when you awoke in the morning... The whole world was made anew.

I realize that intelligence would better suit a character experience acceleration than larger rare tech spread. I can swap the 10% for a 100% bonus to character experience gain, instead. No need to specifically vote, just respond to the idea with your opinion on it and i'll see if it's supported.

Grand Admiral Solon Hal'Suo
When I sleep, I hear a voice.
It despises me. Speaks to me in my own tongue, with the voice of my mother. You think you're so clever. Think you can stop me from taking what's mine.
In the day, I fight the swarm physically. At night...
You are not the only one who can read the present to determine the future, cretin. I will take great pleasure in breaking you.
Fleet commitment: 1 Cruiser, 1 Destroyer, 1 Frigate, 4 Corvettes (the other 4 were not completed until the end of this turn)
Ground Forces: ~ 1 million volunteers, Mixed Psi-ops, Green
Overall commitment size: Small (Fleet being attached to a main task force... Task Force Delphi, Far Rim Raiding)
Subordinate to... Mercenary Commander Ka'sak'sho
Armies committed to Inner Reach under General Vatamar
Iterating major fleet action in the Core...
Heavy fighting in the core sector. The swarm in the region is almost preturnaturally coordinated, stymying even Admiral Solon's predictive abilities. Stalemated.
Skirmishing in the Inner Reach...
Limited, brutal engagements. Progress steady, losses high on the ground.
-Your ground forces have been suffering significant casualties, being committed early to one of the unexpectedly hardest nuts to crack. Those that survive are gaining a lot of combat experience.
Major fighting in the Outer Reach...
Heavy fighting in the reach. Objectives met, but all fleet reserves have been exhausted.
Clean sweep in the Far Rim...
Huge swaths of Swarm space have been infiltrated. Penetrated to Totha Arm Rim and Fafna Outer Reach. Feeding new intel to task force command.
-Your detachment, initially expected to serve more as 'stealth' scouts due to their limited hyperlane profile, has performed admirably in combat roles as well, with officers having a knack for picking out and eliminating critical 'node ships' during engagements. They are gaining significant experience.
Overall... The Dalfea that return from the front report terrible sensations, as though they are being constantly watched or observed. Psionically sensitive Dalfea who have returned from the front seem to have spontaneously developed sociopathic tendencies and other violent behaviors, bar a few exceptions for some of the highest-rated in terms of sheer might. In their current state of psychic maturity, the Dalfea are very vulnerable to the Psoq'a psionic gestalt when in proximity, with a few hardy exceptions.

As the Most Beneficent Chancellor of the Dalfea people, it falls to you to direct the course of the ship of state. Your powers are far-reaching and with few caveats, but there is much to do. The complexities of government, and the slow cogs of state, limit you to TWO actions, or Focuses, this turn. You may also freely assign any unassigned tech or social dice to open projects, or reassign assigned dice.
Current Federal Agenda: Threat Alert
Gellar proposal completed - Next proposal on docket
Threat Containment Initiative (Federal Chairperson Proposing)
-The Psoq'a hives have become increasingly aggressive across the hyperspace lanes leading to Fafna. Xeno analysts are predicting a major offensive by the swarm within the decade, and military experts suggest a preemptive attack. We have no choice. In order to protect the Aldiron Arm and the lives of our sapient races, we must engage in a scorched-earth offensive against the swarm.
-Commit fleets, industry, and manpower to the joint offensive command.
Active Threat special effects:
Worlds will not be upset if their World Amenities needs are not met.
Militarism is becoming more popular.
Xenophilia is becoming less popular.

[] Colonize Ossina I (Seed population ~50,000, -4 Alloy)
-Colonize the tundra world of Ossina I. It will take several years for the colony to become fully established, and other costs in food, energy, or minerals may arise in that time. This planet is Mineral Poor (-50% final mineral output), and produces: 1*(Pops)+2d2 / 2 Mineral, 0.5*(Pops)+2d2 Energy, 2+0.5*(Pops) Food
[] Develop Favalan System (-1 Alloy, -2 Minerals, 1 Energy upkeep)

[] Develop Ossina System (-1 Alloy, -2 Minerals, 1 Energy upkeep)
-Fill the system with orbital stations that provide a variety of resources and other bonuses (current stage 0 of 2) (stages here will most likely give large research trickles, with a smaller chance of energy or minerals, or strategic resources)
[] Begin raising a Starbase over... (-5 Alloy, -3 Minerals, 4 Energy) - No valid systems at this time
-Now that Ossina is stable, it might be a good idea to build another starbase, either to facilitate trade or expand shipbuilding.
[] Dedicate shipyard space [Select order] Currently using all shipyards
-Begin construction of the ordered ships at a rate of 4 size/turn, and 1 Alloy/size.
[] Sortie [Fleet] to [Notable System OR Exercises] (Cost depends on the fleet)
-Sends the fleet out to reinforce a region, attack a threat, or just perform some fleet exercises and wargames in local space. Exercises can generate experience for officers, Order project progress, and rarely other things.
[] Design new ships (Assign tech dice)
-Focus some research efforts on new ship designs. The quality of the sum total check may enhance some components. Specific design in a subturn.

-Fill an open government position from a random selection of notable figures in the nation.
[] Aid the Offensive (Fleet commitment, Industrial Sector commitment, Population commitment)
-Our best predictions indicate the all-consuming Psoq'a are gearing up for a fresh offensive across the Aldiron-Fafna border region. The federation is requesting significant aid in forming and arming a massive invasion force to slash and burn Psoq'a hiveworlds and disrupt their preparations. Do your part in protecting the galaxy.

-This has become more difficult now that it seems relatively obvious that Kalvanox... doesn't particularly care that you exist. If anything, bringing the dragon up in federal chambers is more likely to end with Dallon being requested to negotiate on behalf of the federation for similar 'deals' with other worlds.
[] Study the Crystal Entity
-Focuses can be spent to add dice to the project.
Current Technological projects:
Crystal Study: 290/1000
Hyper-Sensitive Wave Detection: 94/300
Tactical Nuclear Weapons: 57/250
Destroyer-Class Ships Construction: 0/450
Wave Capacitors: 0/400
Spatial Matrix Targeting: 0/450
Current Cultural Projects:
First and favored is the discovery of new sights, new samples, and new places. The galaxy is a massive place, and there is impossible variety if we could only find all of it. -COMPLETE-

We live in a galaxy filled with secrets. Teasing them out is one of the highest scientific pursuits we can commit to.

All three candidates look really good! Also looks like the enemy is psychic as well which is causing issues.
I am currently leaning towards the doctor for the extra growth to help get our current colony running sooner plus a bit more culture dice to get culture projects done quicker
@Powerofmind the culture and tech at the bottom of the post have not been updated.
edit-
favor:
[] [Starbase] Ossina will be a trade hub (add Trade Network - Increases trade power in the region by 3 (Overlap with home system trade hub, some loss), gain Market Exchange - +2 Energy/turn)
1 more trade plus would let us scrap the trade network at home in place for double shipyards at the home base once it is up and running and a boost to energy income.

I like that. Rare tech seems to be more about seeing outside the box then raw brain power.
The war is... going poorly. What was supposed to be an easy and overwhelming opening move turned into a brutal slugfest with most fronts stalemated with big losses.
We must pull out our infantry asap. Dalfea will turn into a liability on the field, giving the swarm some kind of psionic influence over them. Once we know more about Dalfea minds and about battle psionics, we can come back and kick its ass.

Fixed a few errors, updated focuses.
we used a big part of our stored trade this turn, this shouldn't remain ten. I also didnt see the roll for the aotomatic exploration ( dont know if you forgat or just didnt mention it).
we cant relly do anything about it
the problam is that if we recall them it will have some diplomatic repurcussion.
