  • The Riju Tri-Lateral Industrial Complex processes 1 unit of Unsorted Crystals, 1 unit of Hyperidot and 1 unit of Mammoth Byproducts into 1 unit of Instant Rocketsaurus Rib-eye (rank-3, Food: 4) (Now in Original or new Real Bloosberry Flyvor!).

Research

• The Farlight Institute of Crystal Biotechnology begins researching a cure for whatever happens to be the current most popular disease among old, rich powerful people who have lots of influence to throw around. (Possibly "old age".)
• The Hau Ndogg Community College astro-polo stadium (and secret underground advanced physics laboratory) finishes researching bilocation.
• The Boumfadour Institute for Ecology and Planetary Development begins researching terraforming.
• The Boumfadour Institute for History and Archaeology finishes their stirring and grand epic of Prime's history, sure to be a million-seller and boost Fame throughout the Empire.
• The Tomorrow Institute of Lobbying, Marketing and Propaganda begins researching how to boost Seve's campaign to be Emperor.
• Katlian College of Violent Arts and Sciences begins researching how to make our warships more profitable when sold.

Building

• The Seve Ballesteros Memorial Shipyard uses the Fate[sic] Accompli (a rank-1 military space unit) to construct the Fate[sic] Accompli (a rank-2 military space unit).
• The Rick Starfarer Guild For Explorers, Adventurers and Miscellaneous Heroes uses 5Mc to train and equip a rank-3 explorer unit known as the Starfarer Super Sentai: A team of explorers trained to pilot robotic vehicles shaped like giant lemmings. These vehicles' abilities include: digging in various directions, building ramps, deploying parachutes, standing still for a very long time, blowing themselves up, and (most importantly) combining to form a single giant piloted robot known as ARAMON.
• The Riju Tri-Lateral Industrial Complex uses 1 unit of Rainbow Reagent to maximize their efficiency at processing "100% Organik (tm)" products.
  • Note: the "100% Organik" label is a registered trademark of House Aramin and does not imply that any products bearing that mark contain any actual organic materials or are produced by any natural or ethical means.

Landing

• The StarFar Reigspress unloads 5 units of refugees on Hrobaj.
• The Mighty Mammoth unloads 5 units of Frozen Gas on Elvis.

• Arroyo's Bonanza Region, Cavernous Region and Anonymous Region each consume 1 unit of HyperPlasma.

Politics

• Probably something involving Tesher and Nitf@x?
• I bet Seve is doing stuff too.

Character Actions

Colony

• Dark: Fixes his ship.
• Jude: > HIT VERITAS WITH WRENCH. G. G. G. (Continue working on the planned improvements - securing access, isolating underlying failsafe systems, getting a data dump to the historians and scientists.)
• Rick: Rick flies back to Elvis on the Reiglight Revenge.
• Kyil: Operation Herald Recruitment Phase 1: The Hook. Kyil obtains several small transferable tracking devices he can plant on people when he shakes their hand, hidden in his retractable claws, a quick-trace program on his holophone, and other general if-you-contact-me-I-will-find-you stuff.
• Seve:

Imperial Core

• Reig and Tesher: Do some odd jobs for Nif@x, making sure that nothing untoward happens that might harm the Wormhole Colonies, and figuring out more about his organization.
• Silentus: Helps Seve with the Investigating.
• (NPC) Basinbloke: Meets with some folks, depending on what the report from Turn 22 says.

Results

Things slowly begin to come back to normal as refugees return to Hrobaj and the colonies appear to have recovered from the invasion at last. The Secret Advanced Physics Lab finishes their research into Bilocation, while Boumfadour Institute for History and Archaeology finishes The Lengthy and Glorious Epic History of House Prime (Condensed Version), assisted by some of the data Jude salvaged from Veritas's memory banks: this already gives a benefit of 5 Fame, and some clever marketing and 5 mega-credits gives another 5 Fame. Jude also programs Veritas's diggers to focus on retrieving thorium for the colony; his modification allow the colony to produce a unit of Thorium each turn, on top of whatever else it is doing.

In the core, Basinbloke continues pushing the Gwyne reparations bill through, expecting to see some results next turn.
