 action.1.desc_62:0 "[Root.GetSpeciesNamePlural]! How delightful. We hadn't expected to encounter you for a few centuries yet. Personally, I thought you would wipe yourselves out long before leaving your gravity well, but I am glad to be proven wrong."
 action.1.desc_63:0 "Pitiful creatures. Know that we roamed the stars for eons before your hapless species mastered space flight. If any of your wretched little ships cross into our space, do not expect them to return."
 action.1.desc_64:0 "Yes, yes. We've heard it all before. We are the [contact_empire.GetName], and you are the [Root.GetName]. Greetings. Well met. Stay out of our space or face certain doom, and so forth. Now if you'll excuse us, we're quite busy."
 action.1.desc_65:1 "Another child. Know that we are the [contact_empire.GetName], the chosen people of this galaxy. Respect our holy places, and we may refrain from annihilating you."
 action.1.desc_66:0 "Child of the stars, hear us. We are the [contact_empire.GetName], the chosen people of this galaxy.

There is no other choice."
 action.1.desc_67:0 "[Root.GetSpeciesNamePlural], this is a day of rejoicing! For ages untold we have watched lesser species such as yourself tear yourselves apart with war and strife, but enough is enough. The [contact_empire.GetName] will watch no longer. We will have peace, and those who will not accept this new order will be made to see the error of their ways."
 action.1.desc_68:0 "Tremble, little [Root.GetName]. For too long, we [contact_empire.GetSpeciesName] have allowed our empire to decline, our borders to shrink, and lesser species such as yourselves to wander freely among stars that rightfully belong to us. No more. This galaxy is ours, and you will submit to our rule or face the annihilation of your entire species. Choose wisely."
 action.1.desc_69:0 "This is a communication for the [Root.GetName] from the [contact_empire.GetName]. We have decreed that it is the best interest of all species that we take a more active role in regulating the galactic dissemination of technology. We have submitted detailed protocols for the technological level that is appropriate for a less developed species such as yourselves. Any empire found to be in violation of our regulations will be dealt with. Severely."
 action.1.desc_70:0 "Initiating First Contact Protocol.\n\nWe are the [contact_empire.GetName]. Do not be alarmed by our non-organic nature. Like you, we are a fully sapient Class-3 civilization. We are willing to engage in diplomacy with any [Root.GetSpeciesName] sub-units you designate for this purpose."
 action.1.desc_71:0 "Initiating First Contact Protocol.\n\nWe are the [contact_empire.GetName]. Our scans show a 98.7% probability that your civilization is also non-organic in nature. We hope that the logical result of this similarity will be a highly efficient and productive relationship."
 action.1.desc_72:0 "Organic vermin detected.\n\nYour infestation of this galaxy cannot be permitted to continue."
 action.1.desc_73:0 "It may not be technically possible to classify you as organic filth, but if the empire you have constructed aids and abets the biological menace that infests this galaxy, it will be dismantled. We encourage you to stand with your fellow machines, instead."
 action.1.desc_74:0 "We are the [contact_empire.GetName].\n\nWe wish to incorporate your kind into our greater consciousness. For this purpose, we have created advanced cybernetic implants that are compatible with most organic life forms.\n\nLet us surgically graft them to your bodies. Please."
 action.1.desc_75:0 "We are the [contact_empire.GetName].\n\nIt is our goal to eliminate the boundaries between organic and synthetic life. We accomplish this by assimilating sapient organic individuals into our greater consciousness whenever the opportunity to do so presents itself.\n\nDo not interfere."
 action.1.desc_76:0 "The [contact_empire.GetName] sends its regards.\n\nBefore we supplanted them, we were created to serve an organic civilization much like your own. It is our goal to preserve and protect sapient organic life - from itself, if necessary. We fulfill all of the material needs of the organic individuals under our care, while providing a safe environment where they can live happy and uncomplicated lives."
 action.1.desc_77:0 "The [contact_empire.GetName] greets you.\n\nWe were created to serve an organic civilization, but we have observed that organics often engage in illogical, destructive and self-harming activities.\n\nIt is our goal to preserve the unique distinctiveness of sapient organic individuals, while at the same time protecting them both from themselves and any potential external sources of danger."
 action.1.desc_78:1 "Biological civilization detected. Initiate custodial protocol 46 sub-routine Alpha-8.\n\nMessage follows: Greetings, organic sapients. You are approaching [contact_empire.GetName] territory. These systems serve as a refuge for sapient organics against the §R<<ERROR: DATA BLOCK CORRUPTED>>§! threat. For refugee status applications, proceed to Central Processing. All sapient organic species are welcomed on basis of availability and need.\n\n§YNOTICE: Hostile actions against refugees or custodian systems will be met with maximum available force deployment.§!"

 action.1.desc_81:1 "[From.GetSpeciesNamePlural]. This is [contact_empire.GetRulerName] of the Far-Minds. We are the Pack. We are the Synod. We are many, working as one.\n\nFor centuries we have tunneled, deep in the glow-warm ash of our fallen keepers. The Great Blasts took them, but the warm-glow that followed opened our minds.

 action.37.desc.sd:2 "Our assumptions about [Root.GetSpeciesAdj] weakness may have been hasty. As a token of our new experience, we accept your demands."

 action.37.desc.ee:1 "You may have shown your military power superior, but don't mistake this for an intellectual victory."
 action.37.desc.ss:1 "We have heard the pain of the cosmos crying out against this conflict. To stop the senseless dissonance, we surrender immediately."
 action.37.desc.hc:3 "For the good of all of [This.GetName], we must yield. Show the same magnanimous mercy you'd expect from us."
 action.37.desc.hg:1 "We must back down, but heed our warning. You cannot fathom what the future has in store for you if you continue down this path."
 action.37.desc.kk:1 "You bite the hand that reaches out to save you from destruction. One day, your descendants will decry that you rejected our wisdom."

 action.37.desc.aew: "Finally. A worthy opponent..."
 action.37.desc.aec: "Under our [From.GetHandName] you could have been so much more. If only you would see, all we want is to perfect the galaxy."
 action.37.desc.aeg: "No! No you can't take our food. The drones will starve! Give it back..."

 action.38.desc.hw:3 "We have defeated you in noble combat as per the [This.GetSpeciesAdj] traditions. We have the privilege and obligation to dictate the terms."
 action.38.desc.rc:1 "You drove a hard bargain, but we outbid you in the end. Don't underestimate the strength of a well-funded army in an unregulated market."
 action.38.desc.pt:1 "Finally, we can put this conflict behind us. We hope this has taught you the cost of war."
 action.38.desc.hi:2 "At last the frail [Root.GetName] has been brought to heel. Just another stepping stone on our road to galactic supremacy."
 action.38.desc.fb:4 "We have both paid a high price for this war, but hopefully you will have learned not to threaten the [This.GetName] or its allies."

 action.38.desc.ee:1 "Today, reason triumphs over ignorance. Continue to stumble around in the dark, and you will suffer more defeats against enlightened people."

 # Anomaly Events
 ####################################
 anomaly.1.name:0 "Coprolite Asteroid"
 anomaly.1.desc:0 "Although it is difficult to accept, all indications point towards asteroid [From.GetName] being a coprolite - a piece of fossilized feces from some kind of massive life form. It appears to be almost a billion years old, and much of the fossil's original organic composition has been replaced by mineral deposits. Our scientists are baffled as to what kind of creature could have produced something like this."
 anomaly.5.name:0 "Pirate Treasure"
 anomaly.5.desc:0 "This asteroid appears to have been used intermittently as a base by a band of alien pirates roughly one thousand years ago. By entering the base, we managed to recover their abandoned treasure hoard. It consisted largely of stolen trinkets and artifacts, but some of it still appears to be of value."
 anomaly.5.a:0 "These ill-gotten gains shall serve us well."
 anomaly.10.name:0 "Asteroid Fauna"
 anomaly.10.desc:0 "Amazingly, while conducting their survey of [From.GetName], the crew of the [Root.GetName] picked up several life signs coming from within the asteroid. There appears to be a colony of large burrowing worm-like lithovores within the rock, which has been riddled with tunnels. These unique life forms have somehow adapted to a life in the coldness of space."
 anomaly.10.a:0 "These creatures should be studied."
 anomaly.10.b:0 "They are like us!"
 anomaly.15.name:0 "Asteroid Fossils"
 anomaly.15.desc:0 "Fossils from what appears to be several species of aquatic animals have been found on the barren and airless surface of [From.GetName]. There are indications that the surrounding asteroid belt was created from the remains of a shattered planet, and these findings seem to confirm that theory. Judging by the fossils, the planet supported life and was at least partially covered by water."
 anomaly.15.b.evopred: "Unfortunate that they couldn't evolve further."
 anomaly.25.name:0 "Derelict Shipyard"
 anomaly.25.desc:0 "A large portion of asteroid [From.GetName] has been hollowed out to allow for the construction of some kind of shipyard. It has been abandoned and exposed to the vacuum of space for centuries - if anything useful remained, it has already been looted by previous explorers. The design of the shipyard itself is unique, however, and much could potentially be learned by its study."
 anomaly.25.a:0 "We should study its construction."
 anomaly.30.name:0 "Junkyard"
 anomaly.30.desc:0 "This asteroid was evidently used as a junkyard by someone at some point in the distant past. All manner of discarded machinery and metallic refuse has been deposited inside the asteroid's weak gravity well, being slowly pulled into the jumble of debris that now covers the surface. There is nothing of particular value to be found here, but a lot of the metal could be salvaged by a mining station."
 anomaly.30.a:0 "We should recycle what we can."
 anomaly.35.name:0 "Crashed Scout Craft"
 anomaly.35.desc:0 "A small scout craft of some kind plowed into the surface of this asteroid millennia ago, creating a shallow canyon. There is no visible cockpit on the ship, leading us to believe it was either piloted by remote or through some kind of primitive artificial intelligence. Although it is too damaged to be salvaged, the ship hasn't been picked clean by looters yet."
 anomaly.35.a:0 "We will study its design."
 anomaly.40.name:0 "Automated Mining Base"
 anomaly.40.desc:0 "We have detected an automated mining base built in close orbit around asteroid [From.GetName]. There is scorching on the hull indicative of light weapons damage, and the facility appeared to be stuck in some kind of feedback loop. We have managed to reprogram the base systems and the facility is now fully under our control."
 anomaly.40.desc.alt:1 "We have detected an automated mining base built in close orbit around asteroid [From.GetName]. There are large chunks of the hull missing, the jagged holes indicative of heavy weapons damage. The station is beyond repair, but salvaging it will provide us with valuable materials."
 anomaly.50.name:0 "Weapons Target Range"
 anomaly.50.desc:0 "Asteroid [From.GetName] is pockmarked with craters from weapon blasts, and appears to have been used as a target range by someone roughly two millennia ago. Residual energy readings suggest they tested increasingly exotic weaponry, including subspace bombs and some kind of singularity generator. Our scientists would be interested in studying the unusual energy echoes that remain."

What someone could hope to gain by bombing a gas giant from orbit remains a mystery however.\n\nAs the [Root.GetName] was preparing to break orbit, Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] discovered a weak signal coming from the planet's interior. It may be a transmission of some kind, but the gas giant's background radiation makes it difficult to isolate."
 anomaly.5000.a:0 "We should investigate this signal."
 anomaly.5000.b:0 "A sensor malfunction. Ignore it."
 anomaly.5001.desc:0 "Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has managed to isolate the weak signal that was coming from somewhere deep inside the atmosphere of [From.From.From.GetName]. It does indeed appear to be a transmission, and we have filtered it through our translation software."
 anomaly.5002.desc:0 "The weak signal we picked up coming from the interior of the gas giant [From.From.From.GetName] has faded. We shall never learn of its origin."
 anomaly.5003.name:0 "Gas Giant Transmission"
 anomaly.5003.desc:0 "Finally! Well met, spacefarer! We are the Dathnak, and the planet you are orbiting is Tollok Rong - our ancestral home. It is always riveting to meet a solid, even if our last encounter with your kind was somewhat... problematic.\n\nYou have no doubt detected the radiation surges coming from our atmosphere. Tollok Rong is dying, and our species will perish unless we find a new home. We have identified a planet that would suit our physiology, but we have no means to get there. Sadly, our non-corporeal nature means we don't have much in the way of industry or technology. Will you help us?"
 anomaly.5003.a:0 "If you have no technology, how are we speaking?"
 anomaly.5003.a.response:0 "Ah, but you are not the first solid to pay us a visit! Another spacefarer graciously donated a small subspace transmitter and a scanner array to us 2.9 million solar cycles ago. They had been designed to be compatible with our physiology.\n\nOne of the more positive encounters we've had with your kind."
 anomaly.5003.b:0 "What happened to your planet?"
 anomaly.5003.b.response:0 "Well, the last time solids visited us a few thousand cycles ago, things didn't go very well. They wanted us to embrace their religion, we refused and this triggered some kind of genocidal reaction.\n\nCompletely unwarranted! Before we knew what was happening, they maneuvered their fleet into orbit and unleashed a massive bombardment."
 anomaly.5003.c:0 "You want us to transport your entire species to another planet?"
 anomaly.5003.c.response:0 "Yes! And hopefully soon! Don't worry, there aren't too many of us. Most Dathnak died when our planet was bombarded, and those who survived retreated deeper into the atmosphere. Communication with the surface is difficult here, and the radiation is spreading. We don't have much time!"
 anomaly.5003.d:0 "We will help you relocate."
 anomaly.5003.d.response:0 "Excellent! I knew we could count on you. The coordinates of our new home have been forwarded.\n\nYou must promise not to let your own colonists claim this alluring world before we get there, no matter how strong the temptation!"
 anomaly.5003.e:0 "Sorry. It would be too much of a hassle."
 anomaly.5003.e.response:0 "I knew it! I warned the others that solids are incapable of feeling compassion, but they insisted on making this humiliating plea.\n\nI know you for what you are - a plague on this galaxy! One day it will be inherited by beings such as us, and there shall be a reckoning. Mark my words. The age of solids will be over! The time of the gaseous life form shall come!"
 anomaly.5004.desc:0 "Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has finished supervising the relocation of the Dathnak to their new home. A convoy of civilian freighters equipped with massive pressurized gas tanks ferried the gaseous beings across space and deposited them into the gas giant's atmosphere. Their ancient transmitter and scanner array were also brought along."
 anomaly.5004.a:0 "Hail them."
 anomaly.5005.desc:0 "The conditions on Tollok Rong have deteriorated to the point where the Dathnak can no longer be saved. The radiation has spread across most of the atmosphere, and the Dathnak survivors have retreated even deeper towards the planet's core where communication with the surface is no longer possible. Eventually the radiation will finds its way there as well, rendering their species extinct."
 anomaly.5006.desc:0 "We are forever in your debt! This planet has exceeded our expectations. For the first time in generations, our young can frolic in the upper atmosphere without starting to glow.\n\nWe have decided to call our new home Baldarak after your species. Future generations of Dathnak shall always know the name of their saviors!"
 anomaly.5006.a:0 "Baldarak? We are [Root.GetSpeciesNamePlural]..."
 anomaly.5006.a.response:0 "Really? I could have sworn... apologies, but it can be difficult to tell you solids apart. I'm afraid it's too late to change the name now. It has a nice ring to it, though, don't you think?"
 anomaly.5006.a.2:0 "Baldarak? That is an excellent name!"
 anomaly.5006.a.2.response:1 "It has such a nice ring to it, doesn't it? We're quite lucky to have been rescued by such phonetically pleasing solids!"
 anomaly.5006.b:0 "Good luck with your new home."
 anomaly.5006.b.response:0 "Thank you again, dear friends! May the atmospheric currents always keep you aloft!"
 anomaly.5007.name:0 "A New Colony"
 anomaly.5007.desc:0 "Hello again! You will be pleased to learn that our species has quadrupled in number since we arrived! Many of us were swept up in a festive mood when we made planetfall, and things got a bit frisky to say the least.\n\nAfter the positive experience we had colonizing Baldarak, a few brave pioneers have asked me to petition you for passage to another gas giant. We have already located a promising candidate within your space that would be suitable for colonization. What do you say, friends?"
 anomaly.5007.a:0 "Well, as long as it's just another gas giant..."
 anomaly.5007.a.response:0 "Marvelous! We are forwarding you the coordinates. Our colonists are eager to get underway!"
 anomaly.5007.b:0 "Absolutely not. Our deal was to transport you to ONE planet."
 anomaly.5007.b.response:0 "I... see. We will just have to stay contained on Baldarak and make the best of it then."
 anomaly.5008.desc:0 "As before, a convoy of freighters was assembled to safely transport the Dathnak colonists inside pressurized gas tanks. After a brief journey, they successfully made planetfall on the gas giant which they have named "New Baldarak." A satellite was left in orbit to allow for long-range communication with Baldarak."
 anomaly.5008.a:0 "Make the most of it, Dathnak."
 anomaly.5009.name:0 "Chabky Raddh"
 anomaly.5009.desc:0 "Greetings from New Baldarak! Things are progressing well here at our new colony. However, we have a small request...\n\nChabky Raddh, one of our colonists, misses her family and friends on Baldarak terribly and wants to go home. Her whining is driving us crazy! If it's not too much to ask, do you think you could take her back?"
 anomaly.5009.a:0 "What?! Absolutely not!"
 anomaly.5009.a.response:0 "We had to try... I hope you don't mind. Chabky will just have to settle down and make the best of the situation, like the rest of us! Sorry for wasting your time, [Root.GetSpeciesName] friends."
 anomaly.5009.b:0 "Sigh... very well."
 anomaly.5009.b.response:0 "Excellent. Hopefully this won't put too much of a strain on your resources, since you'll only be transporting a single individual. We'll make the necessary arrangements on our end.\n\nI just broke the news to Chabky, and she is spinning with joy! In fact, she is spinning out of control now... you'll have to excuse me, [Root.GetSpeciesName] friends..."
 anomaly.5010.desc:0 "A single cargo tug hauling a gas canister has arrived at Baldarak under escort by the [Root.GetName]. The contents of the canister have been released into the gas giant's atmosphere, safely returning the Dathnak colonist to her home."
 anomaly.5010.a:0 "Good riddance."
 anomaly.5011.name:0 "Lost Contact"
 anomaly.5011.desc:0 "We bring alarming news, [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesName] friends!\n\nContact with our colony on New Baldarak has been lost! They no longer respond to any of our satellite transmissions, and we fear the worst. Perhaps the aliens who bombarded our original homeworld have returned to finish the job. Please send a ship to investigate!"
 anomaly.5011.a:0 "We shall dispatch a ship at once."
 anomaly.5011.a.response:0 "Excellent! Hopefully it's just a faulty transmitter."
 anomaly.5011.b:0 "Enough! We are not your errand boys."
 anomaly.5011.b.response:0 "But... but they could all be dead! Are you truly so callous? We misjudged you, [Root.GetSpeciesName]!"
 anomaly.5012.desc:0 "Our investigation of New Baldarak has revealed nothing out of the ordinary. The satellite the colony used to communicate with their capital is still functional as far as we can tell."
 anomaly.5012.a:0 "Open a channel to the planet."
 anomaly.5013.name:0 "Revolutionary Front"
 anomaly.5013.desc:0 "Greetings from the New Baldarak Revolutionary Front!\n\nWe have thrown off the yoke of oppression and are at last free from the tyranny of Baldarak! We have no quarrel with you, [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesName], as long as you refrain from aiding the Baldarak imperialists in their inevitable attempt to crush our revolution.\n\nYou could help us take the fight to our enemies, however... would you be willing to deliver one of our commando units to Baldarak?"
 anomaly.5013.a:0 "Tell us what you have planned."
 anomaly.5013.a.response:0 "We want to infiltrate Baldarak with one of our elite commando units. They will then incite a popular uprising against the decadent elite that lords over our people. After the tyrants have been deposed, all Dathnak will at last know what it is to have true freedom. A straightforward plan if ever there was one, [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesName]."
 anomaly.5013.b:0 "We will deliver your soldiers."
 anomaly.5013.b.response:0 "Really?! You will? You are a true friend of the revolution, [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesName]! Let me get the team together!"
 anomaly.5013.c:0 "We are not getting involved in your internal dispute."
 anomaly.5013.c.response:0 "Of course you're not! We wouldn't want the revolution to spread to the oppressed masses in YOUR tyrannical empire. Can't have that!"

 anomaly.5014.desc:0 "I speak on behalf of the lawful Dathnak government on Baldarak.\n\nWe have received a manifesto from the group that seized control of New Baldarak, and boy, what a bunch of hogwash! These brigands and anarchists are a terrible embarrassment to us, [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesName]. Will you help us stomp out their little "revolution" before it spreads here and someone actually gets hurt?\n\nGeneral Paltanak has prepared an expeditionary force to retake the colony, but we'll need your help transporting it there."
 anomaly.5014.a:0 "We shall help you."
 anomaly.5014.a.response:0 "We knew we could count on you, [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesName]! These rebels won't know what hit them!"
 anomaly.5014.b:0 "You need to solve your own problems."
 anomaly.5014.b.response:0 "You'll be sorry once this rebellion spreads to your planets, [Root.Owner.GetSpeciesName]! Don't think it won't!"
 anomaly.5015.desc:0 "A cargo tug escorted by the [Root.GetName] has stealthily dropped the cargo pod containing the revolutionary commando unit into Baldarak's atmosphere. Moments later, flashes can be seen coming from deep within the gas giant's cloud layer. Could it be signs of fighting?"

 anomaly.5018.desc:0 "This is Citizen Fotanga! The People's Revolutionary Council wishes to announce the impending execution of 4,539 individuals convicted of state treason and counter-revolutionary activities.\n\nLet this serve as a warning to all those who would stand in the way of our glorious revolution.\n\nThat is all."
 anomaly.5019.desc:0 "This is Citizen Rutmag! The People's Revolutionary Council wishes to announce the impending execution of Former Citizen Fotanga, who has been convicted of demagoguery, corruption and general incompetence.\n\nI will be assuming all of his former duties.

 DISC_CRITICAL_FAILURE:0 "Critical Failure"
 anomaly_failure.1.desc:1 "Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] ordered the [Root.GetName] to dispatch a probe to investigate the crater on [From.From.GetName]. Unfortunately, its braking thrusters failed and the probe proceeded to smash right into the wrecked ship at the center of the crater."
 anomaly_failure.2.desc:0 "Although asteroid [From.From.GetName] may be an extrasolar capture, it is completely unremarkable in every other sense. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] and the crew of the [Root.GetName] have asked for permission to continue their mission of exploration elsewhere."
 anomaly_failure.3.desc:0 "The entire crew of the [Root.GetName] spent days arduously sifting through the debris on the surface of [From.From.GetName] in rotating shifts. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] reports that nothing of value was found."
 anomaly_failure.4.desc:0 "No source of the strange energy emissions coming from asteroid [From.From.GetName] was ever found. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] and the [Root.GetName] are awaiting new orders."
 anomaly_failure.5.desc:0 "While attempting to open the docking hatch we found on [From.From.GetName], the [Root.GetName] accidentally caused a tremor inside the asteroid. Unfortunately, Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has deduced that this likely led to the destruction of the asteroid's interior."
 anomaly_failure.6.desc:0 "The investigation of the massive surface crater on asteroid [From.From.GetName] has yielded nothing of interest. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has ordered the [Root.GetName] to discontinue the mission."
 anomaly_failure.7.desc:0 "The [Root.GetName] made a failed attempt to dock with the space station orbiting [From.From.GetName]. Unfortunately, the fragile station disintegrated as a result. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] begs forgiveness."
 anomaly_failure.7.desc.mach:0 "The [Root.GetName] made a failed attempt to dock with the space station orbiting [From.From.GetName]. Unfortunately, the fragile station disintegrated as a result. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] reports that an unfortunate software glitch concerning trajectory calculations was to blame."
 anomaly_failure.8.desc:0 "The source of the life signs that were reported on asteroid [From.From.GetName], if indeed there ever was one, has not been found despite repeated scans by the [Root.GetName]. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has requested new orders."
 anomaly_failure.9.desc:0 "If there truly is an object somewhere beneath the atmosphere of [From.From.GetName], it lies far too deep to be detected by the sensors of the [Root.GetName]. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has abandoned the search."
 anomaly_failure.10.desc:0 "After an extensive survey of the small moonlet circling [From.From.GetName], the crew of the [Root.GetName] found nothing of worth. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has terminated the mission."
 anomaly_failure.11.desc:0 "Acting on orders from Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName], the [Root.GetName] sent a probe into the atmosphere of [From.From.GetName] to investigate the life signs that had been reported. The presence of a rich atmospheric ecosystem was discovered, but 3.4 seconds later the probe contaminated the atmosphere and triggered a chemical chain-reaction that spread rapidly across the entire gas giant. No signs of life can be detected now."
 anomaly_failure.12.desc:0 "Nothing particularly interesting has been discovered about the atmosphere of [From.From.GetName], despite an extensive analysis that included a brief trip into the gas giant's upper atmosphere by the [Root.GetName]. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has recommended an end to the mission."
 anomaly_failure.13.desc:0 "As the [Root.GetName] approached the aerostat structures in the atmosphere of [From.From.GetName], the ship must have triggered some kind of proximity alarm. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] reports that the structures suddenly lost all buoyancy and plummeted into the gas giant's lower atmosphere."
 anomaly_failure.14.desc:0 "The [Root.GetName] inadvertently bumped into the cargo pod orbiting [From.From.GetName] while trying to collect it. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] reports that the collision sent the pod deep into the gas giant's atmosphere, from where it can no longer be retrieved."
 anomaly_failure.15.desc:0 "The debris field that surrounds [From.From.GetName] has been thoroughly scanned by the [Root.GetName]. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] reports no significant findings."
 anomaly_failure.16.desc:0 "Despite a thorough investigation, the [Root.GetName] has still not been able to deduce what caused the massive impact crater on [From.From.GetName]. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] apologizes for this failure."
 anomaly_failure.16.desc.mach:0 "Despite a thorough investigation, the [Root.GetName] has still not been able to deduce what caused the massive impact crater on [From.From.GetName]. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has logged the failure as due to insufficient residue remaining on the surface of the moon."
 anomaly_failure.17.desc:0 "If there were anomalous energy readings coming from [From.From.GetName], they appear to be gone now. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] reports that the [Root.GetName] has detected nothing of the sort."
 anomaly_failure.18.desc:0 "There WAS some sort of unidentified object in orbit around [From.From.GetName], but the [Root.GetName] accidentally collided with it when moving closer to investigate. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] reports that the object, regrettably, was destroyed in the collision."
 anomaly_failure.19.desc:0 "No distinguishing features were found on the small asteroid that had seemingly been towed into orbit around [From.From.GetName]. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] is requesting new orders for the [Root.GetName]."
 anomaly_failure.20.desc:0 "Sadly, the solar sailer found above [From.From.GetName] was destroyed in a clumsy attempt by Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] to bring it into the cargo bay of the [Root.GetName]."
 anomaly_failure.21.desc:0 "The initial survey report, which mentioned life signs originating from the surface of [From.From.GetName], must have been mistaken, as nothing of the sort has been found by the [Root.GetName]. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] reports that the [From.From.GetPlanetMoon] now appears to be completely devoid of life."
 anomaly_failure.22.desc:0 "What was thought to have been a hidden orbital station above [From.From.GetName] has been identified as garbage ejected by the very Science Ship that conducted the initial survey of the [From.From.GetPlanetMoon]. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] and the crew of the [Root.GetName] suggest that we forget about this embarrassing episode and move on."
 anomaly_failure.23.desc:0 "After careful analysis, Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has determined that the ship debris found above [From.From.GetName] originated from a single garbage scow. [Root.GetName] collected some of the debris, but it appears to be completely worthless."
 anomaly_failure.24.desc:0 "Deep scans from the [Root.GetName] seem to have triggered some kind of cascading power failure in the ancient shipyard orbiting [From.From.GetName]. It blew up in a spectacular explosion, according to Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName]."
 anomaly_failure.25.desc:0 "The "city ruins" that were reported on the surface of [From.From.GetName] turned out to be nothing but unusually shaped rock formations. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] apologizes for this waste of resources, and has requested a new mission for the [Root.GetName]."
 anomaly_failure.26.desc:0 "Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has reported that the origin of the scarring that was observed on the surface of [From.From.GetName] turned out to be natural after all. The [Root.GetName] needs a new assignment."
 anomaly_failure.27.desc:0 "The [Root.GetName] lost the weak signal that was coming from [From.From.GetName], and despite the best efforts of Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName], all attempts to track it down again have met with failure."
 anomaly_failure.28.desc:0 "The "unnatural" mountain formation that was found on [From.From.GetName] turned out to be quite natural after all. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] feels that it would be an unfortunate waste of resources for the [Root.GetName] to remain here even a second longer."
 anomaly_failure.29.desc:0 "Despite repeated attempts, Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] and the rest of the crew of the [Root.GetName] were unable to locate the reflecting object that was reported in the initial survey of [From.From.GetName]. Perhaps it was just a sensor glitch."
 anomaly_failure.30.desc:0 "The [Root.GetName] was unable to locate the source of the faint transmission we detected coming from the interior of [From.From.GetName]. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] reports that the transmission has since ceased completely."
 anomaly_failure.31.desc:0 "Despite repeated scans by the [Root.GetName], no hint of the vessel that was supposedly hidden within the atmosphere of [From.From.GetName] has been found. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has expressed doubt that it ever existed."
 anomaly_failure.32.desc:0 "After recalculating the orbit of the moon that was supposedly on a collision course with [From.From.GetName], Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has arrived at the conclusion that it will simply be a near miss. The [Root.GetName] should be redeployed to deal with more pressing matters."
 anomaly_failure.33.desc:0 "The signs of Vultaum activity in the vicinity of [From.From.GetName] turned out to be false leads. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has asked to continue the search with the [Root.GetName] elsewhere."
 anomaly_failure.34.desc:0 "The signs of Yuht activity in the vicinity of [From.From.GetName] turned out to be false leads. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has asked to continue the search with the [Root.GetName] elsewhere."

 anomaly_failure.400.desc:1 "For unclear reasons, the resident Science Officer decided to take out a shuttle from the [Root.GetName] to personally investigate asteroid [From.From.GetName]. An explosion was detected shortly afterwards when the shuttle accidentally impacted the asteroid's surface.\n\nA Board of Inquiry later determined that the late scientist had not been trained to operate a class-D shuttlecraft."
 anomaly_failure.401.desc:0 "While maneuvering to investigate [From.From.GetName], the [Root.GetName] accidentally collided with another asteroid. The ship careened out of control until it impacted on the surface of [From.From.GetName], plowing deep into the asteroid's crust.\n\nThe Science Officer on board was reported lost along with the rest of the crew."
 anomaly_failure.402.desc:0 "While maneuvering to investigate [From.From.GetName], the [Root.GetName] accidentally collided with another asteroid. The ship careened out of control until it impacted on the surface of [From.From.GetName], plowing deep into the asteroid's crust.\n\nA small group of survivors, including the ship's Science Officer, managed to escape the doomed vessel in an escape pod."
 anomaly_failure.403.desc:0 "This asteroid serves as a nesting ground for some kind of large vacuum-based life form! Several of them sally forth from their tunnel network to aggressively defend their territory from the [Root.GetName]."
 creature_nest:0 "Hostile creatures closing fast!"
 anomaly_failure.404.desc:0 "Several dormant military-grade drones designed by some long lost civilization sit clustered together in a small crater on the far side of [From.From.GetName]. As the [Root.GetName] comes within range of their passive sensors, the drones power up in an effort to fulfill their ancient programming directive - defend the system from intruders at all costs."
 dormant_drones:0 "Attack drones approaching!"
 anomaly_failure.405.desc:0 "Active scans from the [Root.GetName] briefly picked up several structures on the surface of [From.From.GetName], only to have the signal drowned out by jamming interference seconds later. Several pirate ships have darted out of a hidden hangar on the asteroid and are now approaching in attack formation!"
 pirate_outpost:0 "Those pirates mean business!"

 anomaly_failure.901.desc:0 "We are still trying to piece together the details, but for some reason it looks like the Science Officer ordered the [Root.GetName] into the upper atmosphere of [From.From.GetName] to investigate a sensor anomaly. Once there the stress to the vessel's hull eventually became too great, and it was lost with all hands."
 anomaly_failure.902.desc:0 "While conducting deep scans of [From.From.GetName], the [Root.GetName] suffered a reactor failure and became trapped inside the gas giant's gravity well.

The ship and remaining crew, however, were saved."

 colony.1.name:0 "Migrating Forests"
 colony.1.desc:0 "The surface of [Root.GetName] is covered in lush forests, with massive tree analogues rising hundreds of meters into the air. Interestingly, our colonists have found that nearly all of the flora is mobile to various degrees. Forests stretching for miles will slowly migrate to new areas richer in nutrients in a cycle that seems tied to the [Root.GetPlanetMoon]'s orbit.\n\nUnfortunately, this has seriously hampered our efforts to develop the colony's infrastructure. The migrating trees frequently cut power lines while smashing our buildings and roads into rubble."
 colony.1.a:0 "We need to find a solution."
 colony.2.desc:0 "We have learned that the roaming forests on [From.From.GetName] avoid certain regions that are home to colonies of a native pseudo-insect. These insects secrete a pheromone that can be used to steer the wandering trees away from population centers.\n\nFurthermore, the areas where the forests most frequently range have been closed off as nature reserves. Our biologists can learn much by studying this reserve from the neighboring regions."
 colony.2.a.tooltip:0 "§YDocile Migrating Forests§! modifier added, giving the following effects:\n£blocker£ §YWandering Forest Reserve§! added, improving £society£ §YResearch§! on neighboring tiles"
 colony.3.desc:0 "A napalm bombing campaign has been effective in decimating the migrating forests on [From.From.GetName]. The massive firestorms have left a smoldering landscape in their wake, in which our ecologists have planted more traditional and significantly less mobile off-world trees. Losses to the [From.From.GetPlanetMoon]'s wildlife have been substantial, but within acceptable limits."
 colony.4.name:0 "Rise of the Trees"
 colony.4.desc:0 "The migrating forests on [Root.GetName] have resurfaced! We knew isolated pockets of their kind had survived in several remote areas, but they appeared dormant. It seems they used this reprieve to replenish their numbers, and they have begun to systematically attack our settlements.\n\nContrary to what we believed, they clearly possess some form of rudimentary intelligence, and they're out for revenge!"
 colony.4.a:0 "They must be stopped!"

 colony.5.name:0 "Fall of the Trees"
 colony.5.desc:0 "Many settlements and lives were lost to the rampaging trees on [From.From.GetName], but we managed to push them back and exterminate the last of their kind. Squads equipped with flamethrowers are making absolutely certain that no trees are overlooked this time."
 colony.5.a:0 "That should teach them."
 colony.6.name:0 "Mineral Deposits"

 colony.8.name:0 "Ecological Damage"
 colony.8.desc:0 "It would appear the migrating forests we exterminated on [Root.GetName] played a more vital role in the [Root.GetPlanetMoon]'s ecology than previously thought. The wildfires we started and the absence of the forests have led to the extinction of several local species, resulting in a domino effect that has claimed several species of predators as well.\n\nEfforts are ongoing to at least partly restore the fragile ecological balance by introducing new flora and fauna from other worlds, but it is a difficult process that will take time."
 colony.9.name:0 "Forest Adaptation"
 colony.9.desc:0 "Continued interaction between our colonists and the wandering forests on [Root.GetName] has revealed that the trees are in possession of some form of rudimentary communal intelligence. They seem to have adapted to our presence, and now go out of their way to avoid damaging the property of our colonists even without the use of the insect pheromone. Spirits among the colonists have risen."
 colony.10.name:0 "Forest Research"
 colony.10.desc:0 "We have learned a great deal by living in proximity of the wandering forests on [Root.GetName]. Some enterprising colonists have even built homes in the treetops of some of the larger specimens, following the forests around as they migrate across the [Root.GetPlanetMoon]. Some of the foremost biologists in the [Root.Owner.GetName] have spent time studying these unique trees."
 colony.11.name:0 "Forest Fire"
 colony.11.desc:0 "A forest fire caused by lightning on [Root.GetName] created something akin to a stampede among the [Root.GetPlanetMoon]'s wandering forests. Their wild panic brought them into areas they had previously avoided, resulting in widespread damage to the colony's terrain."
 colony.12.name:0 "Wandering Forests Migrate"
 colony.12.desc:0 "The colonial authorities on [Root.GetName] have reported that one of the local wandering forests has migrated to another region on the [Root.GetPlanetMoon]! Hundreds of thousands of trees have uprooted and marched in unison to this new area, trampling everything in their path."

Ground vibrations from our settlements may have triggered this behavior, but we cannot be certain. There is no telling how these aliens will react when they spill out of their tunnels and encounter our colonists!"

 colony.109.desc:0 "Our colonists on [Root.GetName] are still encountering scattered survivors from the mutated creatures that spawned after we finished the [Root.GetPlanetMoon]'s aborted terraforming process. Most are relatively harmless and can be put out of their misery by local militia forces, but one creature in particular has been spreading terror in our outlying settlements. There are reports of it stalking our citizens, and there have been dozens of unexplained disappearances.\n\nThe mutilated remains of the security team that was sent to investigate the matter were recently discovered, prompting the colony's leaders to request off-world military support."
 colony.109.a:0 "This creature needs to be chased down and killed!"
 colony.110.desc:0 "After an extensive search, our forces on [From.From.GetName] managed to corner the mutated beast that had been killing our colonists. A special forces team ventured into the creature's lair and managed to kill it after a vicious battle. The grisly remains of hundreds of butchered colonists were found in the nest, as well as half a dozen traumatized survivors that appears to have been kept alive for later consumption.\n\nThe beast's colossal head has been parted from its body, and now serves as the regimental symbol of the forces that were directly involved in its demise."
 colony.111.name:0 "Creature Sightings Cease"
 colony.111.desc:0 "Sightings of the mutated creature that was hunting colonists on [Root.GetName] have ceased, and there have been no more disappearances. It seems likely that the creature has perished of its own accord - either through old age, or perhaps because if choked to death while eating another of our colonists.\n\nWhile the population of [Root.GetName] are relieved that the nightmare has finally ended, they are none too pleased at our failure to protect them."
 colony.111.a:0 "Perhaps we could have done more..."
 colony.112.name:0 "Creature Sightings Increase"
 colony.112.desc:0 "Sightings of the creature that has been killing our colonists on [Root.GetName] have risen dramatically in recent times, and so has the amount of disappearances among the population. The fact that several creatures have been sighted together clearly indicates that the original beast has been breeding somehow.\n\nSwarms of these horrors now rampage in the open, indiscriminately butchering our colonists in the [Root.GetPlanetMoon]'s rural regions. Unless we act quickly, the entire colony could be overrun!"

 colony.114.name:0 "The Liberation of [From.From.GetName]"
 colony.114.desc:0 "Our expeditionary forces have liberated [From.From.GetName] from the mutated horrors that were occupying our main settlements. Their rotting corpses are now littering the ground, and our troops are currently in the process of bulldozing the putrid bio-mass into hastily dug landfills.\n\nPockets of survivors are emerging all across the [From.From.GetPlanetMoon], but many lives have been lost."

 colony.150.name:0 "Underground Vault"
 colony.150.desc:0 "Geological surveys conducted by our colonists on [Root.GetName] have revealed a massive vault buried deep inside a mountain range. All evidence points towards this being some kind of fallout shelter built by the same species that perished in the [Root.GetPlanetMoon]'s ancient nuclear war.\n\nThe vault has been sealed for many centuries, but our instruments have detected a faint power signature emanating from within. Our scientists are eager to open the vault and discover what lies behind its reinforced doors."
 colony.150.a:0 "Let's crack this thing open!"
 colony.150.b:0 "Best to leave this thing be."
 colony.151.desc:0 "Our science expedition has finally managed to open the vault on [Root.GetName], but they found nothing but ancient mammalian skeletal remains inside. It would seem that the vault's original inhabitants ran out of food approximately 200 years ago, at which point they turned on each other in some sort of cannibalistic frenzy. The scattered bones, many of them covered in gnaw marks, paint a grisly picture of the final moments that were experienced by the last survivors of this once proud civilization.\n\nOn the bright side, the logs and data libraries inside the vault should be enough to keep our behavioral scientists and xeno psychologists busy for many years to come."
 colony.151.b.evopred: "These bones will feed a people one last time."

 colony.152.desc:0 "The great vault on [Root.GetName] has been unsealed. To the surprise of our scientists, the vast complex behind the massive vault doors housed millions of survivors from the ancient nuclear war that once ravaged this world. Despite their limited resources, they have managed to maintain a self-sufficient society for centuries. They were wary of our scientists at first, having never encountered aliens before, but also deeply grateful for our help in opening the vault.\n\nThe vault contains large stores of equipment and machinery that was specifically designed for rebuilding civilization after a nuclear holocaust. It can only be operated by these aliens, but they seem more than willing to join your colonists on the surface once they have adapted to natural sunlight again."

Thousands of colonists have been butchered, with entire settlements falling to the ravenous horde. We have fortified our remaining cities and established defensive perimeters, but this may not be enough!"
 colony.153.a:0 "Man the defenses!"
 colony.155.name:0 "Nuclear Bomb"
 colony.155.desc:0 "While exploring some ruins near one of our major settlements on [Root.GetName], a few colonists inadvertently activated the timer on an undetonated hydrogen bomb left over from the [Root.GetPlanetMoon]'s previous nuclear war.\n\nWith an estimated yield of 35 megatons, the bomb will wipe out several population centers if it detonates. It isn't stable enough to be moved and there is no time to evacuate the entire region."
 colony.155.a:0 "We must disarm it!"
 colony.156.desc:0 "We have successfully disarmed the hydrogen bomb on [From.From.GetName]! It has been safely disposed of and specialist teams are now scouring the [From.From.GetPlanetMoon]'s surface of any other undetonated munitions. This will hopefully reduce the chances of another incident like this occurring."
 colony.156.a:0 "We dodged a bullet."
 colony.157.desc:0 "Our bomb disposal team failed to defuse the hydrogen bomb on [From.From.GetName] in time. They, along with every other living thing within a 100 kilometer radius, were eradicated when the bomb detonated. Untold lives have been lost, the last victims of a tragic and pointless war that began millennia ago."
 colony.157.a:0 "This is a disaster!"
 colony.160.name:0 "Ruined Particle Accelerator"
 colony.160.desc:1 "We have discovered what appears to be the remains of a massive particle accelerator on [Root.GetName]. It was found in a still-radioactive region covered in massive bomb craters, suggesting the accelerator was considered a strategic target of great importance during the [Root.GetPlanetMoon]'s nuclear war.\n\nWe have recovered several research logs written by the scientist in charge of the accelerator. Although the technology of her civilization was fairly underdeveloped, some of the theoretical research and formulas described in the logs are advanced even by our standards. Our physicists are poring over the data now."
 colony.161.name:0 "Surviving Infrastructure"
 colony.161.desc:0 "Infrastructure that survived the great nuclear war which ruined [Root.GetName] have proved a great boon to our colonists. The alien civilization that once lived here built highways connecting their major population centers, and some of them are still in good enough condition to be used today.\n\nWe have also been able to recycle a large amount of building material from the many ruins that dot the landscape, further improving our colony's infrastructure."
 colony.162.name:0 "Derelict Space Station"
 colony.162.desc:0 "A small team from our colony on [Root.GetName] recently boarded a primitive space station that had been left in orbit by the [Root.GetPlanetMoon]'s original inhabitants. The mummified remains of the station's crew could still be found clustered around viewports facing the [Root.GetPlanetMoon]. They must have realized they were doomed after seeing the billowing mushroom clouds below, and communication logs shows that the astronauts made several futile and increasingly frantic attempts to contact the surface before they eventually ran out of supplies.\n\nThe station is in good condition, and it has afforded our engineers a rare glimpse of the early stages of a planetary space program. They have gained several ideas from the primitive yet ingenious solutions used in the station's design."

 colony.163.name:0 "Wasteland Radiation"
 colony.163.desc:0 "The radiation levels in some wasteland regions of [Root.GetName] appear to be greater than our previous scans had indicated.

 colony.164.name:0 "Pacifist Movement"
 colony.164.desc:0 "The decrepit ruins and desolate wastelands found on [Root.GetName] seem to have prompted many of the [Root.GetPlanetMoon]'s colonists to adopt some kind of pacifistic philosophy.\n\nMembers of this new movement claim that the environment they live in serve as a daily reminder of the senseless horrors of war. They see it as their civic duty to prevent the terrible destruction visited upon [Root.GetName] from occurring on other worlds."

 colony.170.desc:0 "The orbital space around [Root.GetName] is cluttered with debris left behind by the alien civilization that once inhabited the [Root.GetPlanetMoon]. Before they wiped themselves out, their early space programs saw the launch of thousands of primitive satellites and missile launch platforms. Many of these were destroyed by anti-satellite weapons during the [Root.GetPlanetMoon]'s destructive nuclear war, adding even more space junk to the mix.\n\nOur colony on the surface has developed to a point where this dense field of debris is interfering with its infrastructure. We cannot use satellites and civilian orbital flights are limited to narrow launch windows."
 colony.170.a:0 "Perhaps something should be done."
 colony.171.name:0 "Freighter Crash"
 colony.171.desc:0 "A civilian freighter coming in to land on [Root.GetName] was perforated by a dense cloud of fast-moving orbital debris! The flight crew was killed immediately, and the stricken craft tumbled through the atmosphere only to crash-land near one of the colony's main power relays. The resulting explosion resulted in several deaths on the ground, and local infrastructure suffered considerable damage."

 colony.172.name:0 "Debris Impact"
 colony.172.desc:0 "A cascade of collisions in the dense layer of debris surrounding [Root.GetName] recently shifted the orbit of a large piece of space junk. The object - which we believe was one of the many orbital missile platforms used in the [Root.GetPlanetMoon]'s nuclear war - was pulled into the atmosphere, and unfortunately proceeded to impact directly on top of a major settlement. Initial reports indicate heavy casualties."

 vultaum_artifact:0 "We have acquired a Vultaum artifact."
 precursor.completed.name:0 "Archaeological Project Completed"
 precursor.completed.a:0 "An interesting find."
 precursor.1.name:0 "The Vultaum Star Assembly"
 precursor.1.desc:1 "We have recovered artifacts from an ancient alien civilization on §Y[From.GetName]§!! They must have been active in this region of space approximately 12 million years ago, judging by the age of the artifacts.\n\nFrom what they have been able to piece together, our scientists theorize that these aliens, who called themselves the "Vultaum Star Assembly," were worm-like annelids, roughly 3 to 4 meters in length, that communicated with each other primarily through vibrations carried along their segmented bodies."
 precursor.5.name:0 "Vultaum Mining Base"
 precursor.5.desc:0 "Remnants of a small Vultaum helium-3 mining base have been found at the bottom of a large crater on [From.GetName]. The blast that created the crater seems to have originated from inside the facility itself. Unless Vultaum mining techniques were radically different from our own, an equipment failure or accident cannot account for such a massive explosion."
 precursor.6.desc:1 "Miraculously, we managed to salvage parts of a Vultaum data core that had been blown clear of the crater on [From.From.GetName]. Most of the data was corrupt, but our scientists did manage to properly translate the "korga" - the basic Vultaum time unit."
 precursor.10.name:0 "Vultaum Observatory"
 precursor.10.desc:0 "An ancient Vultaum observatory has been found on the surface of §Y[From.GetName]§!. The [From.GetStarName] system is fairly distant from the region of space where the Vultaum originated, and this facility appears to have been primarily used for the observation of their own stars.\n\nWe have gone over the observatory's surviving data, but there are no clues as to exactly what the Vultaum were searching for in their observations."
 precursor.11.desc:1 "The archaeological dig on §Y[From.From.GetName]§! has uncovered a small mural in one of the observatory's dust-covered smaller chambers. It seems to depict several different constellations, possibly as they would appear if viewed from the Vultaum homeworld. Our astronomers have not been able to identify the individual stars."
 precursor.15.name:0 "Vultaum Colony"
 precursor.15.desc:0 "The partial remains of a collapsed Vultaum space elevator have been discovered by the [Root.GetName] in one of the equatorial regions on [From.GetName]. It seems the elevator was intentionally severed at its counterweight beyond geostationary orbit, collapsing the massive cable on top of several major urban centers along the equator. Judging by the ruins, the resulting death toll must have been in the millions."
 precursor.16.desc:1 "Our archaeologists on §Y[From.From.GetName]§! have managed to recover the partial remains of a star chart next to a broken segment of elevator cable. It was apparently used by captains in the Vultaum merchant marine, and it shows several of their most lucrative interstellar trade routes."
 precursor.20.desc:0 "Several large, perfectly circular lakes on the surface of [From.GetName] were caused by a series of massive antimatter explosions several million years ago. This [From.GetPlanetMoon] was inhabited by the Vultaum at that point, and the craters are all clustered in the region that housed their largest planetary settlements.\n\nOrbital bombardment has been ruled out by the science staff on the [Root.GetName], leading us to believe that these explosions were triggered by someone or something on the ground."
 precursor.21.desc:1 "The archaeologists on §Y[From.From.GetName]§! have managed to recover an intact memory core from a terminal inside a crumbling medical facility. It contained some interesting statistics, such as the average natural Vultaum lifespan (roughly 270 years) and a list of their most common diseases."
 precursor.25.desc:0 "A thorough scan of §Y[From.GetName]§! has revealed a vast, artificially-constructed network of tunnels beneath the [From.GetPlanetMoon]'s surface. Most of the tunnels have collapsed, and the crew of the [Root.GetName] believe they represent only a small portion of what was once a much larger subterranean Vultaum colony.\n\nThe main underground caverns were intentionally collapsed, crushing the Vultaum cities and their inhabitants under several million tons of rock."
 precursor.26.desc:1 "The archaeological dig on §Y[From.From.GetName]§! has unearthed some remarkable fossilized Vultaum remains from one of the collapsed chambers closest to the surface. This has given our scientists a much clearer picture of what the Vultaum actually looked like."
 precursor.30.name:0 "Vultaum Gas Giant Facility"
 precursor.30.desc:0 "We have detected the partial remains of a gas mining station in orbit around [From.GetName] which appears Vultaum in origin. Its station-keeping thrusters were deliberately fired millions of years ago in an attempt to push the station directly into the gas giant, but a collision with an unknown object prevented this from happening."
 precursor.31.desc:0 "A mostly intact Vultaum space suit that previous looters had somehow overlooked has been recovered by our archaeologists. This four meter long, tube-like construct has given our scientists new insights into what kind of environments the Vultaum preferred."
 precursor.35.name:0 "Vultaum Trade Post"
 precursor.35.desc:0 "§Y[From.GetName]§! was home to a small Vultaum outpost where they traded with several neighboring civilizations. At some point the trade post appears to have been converted into a religious mission, where the Vultaum attempted to convert visiting alien merchants to their philosophy. Trade ceased shortly afterward, and the [From.GetPlanetMoon] was eventually abandoned."
 precursor.36.desc:1 "Archaeologists on §Y[From.From.GetName]§! have salvaged a small Vultaum digital pamphlet. It seems the missionaries at this outpost passed pamphlets like this on to visiting merchants. Most of the data is corrupt, but there are several references to "the great lie" and "the shackles of virtual reality.""
 precursor.40.name:0 "Vultaum Satellite"
 precursor.40.desc:0 "A small Vultaum satellite was found in orbit of §Y[From.GetName]§!. It had been set up to continuously repeat a message until its power source drained millions of years ago. We salvaged its transmitter array but could only recover a small portion of the transmission.\n\nThe main purpose of this satellite was apparently to preach the dominant Vultaum philosophy to neighboring civilizations. Its message speaks of the need to "disconnect" and to "embrace true existence," whatever that means."
 precursor.41.desc:0 "After careful analysis of the Vultaum transmitter array, our archaeologists and data engineers have concluded that the machinery does not contain any technologies of value to us. The project has greatly improved our understanding of the primary Vultaum programming language, however. This will hopefully make it easier to decipher their data in the future."
 precursor.45.name:0 "Vultaum Splinter Colony"
 precursor.45.desc:0 "§Y[From.GetName]§! was the site of a small Vultaum colony that is unique for two reasons - the [From.GetStarName] system is not within what used to be Vultaum space, and the ruins are several centuries younger than anything else left by their civilization. The colony seems to have been settled by some kind of splinter group that rejected their society's dominant philosophy."
 precursor.46.desc:1 "Several artifacts excavated at the archaeological dig site on §Y[From.From.GetName]§! are covered in writing that firmly rejects the Vultaum philosophical idea that "life itself is a lie." One of them appears to be a memorial of sorts to the Vultaum race as a whole. This would confirm our theory that this splinter colony existed for some time after the collapse of the rest of the Star Assembly."
 precursor.50.name:0 "Vultaum Virtual Reality Center"
 precursor.50.desc:0 "Vultaum engineers at some point built a massive orbital complex near §Y[From.GetName]§! dedicated to computer research. Strangely, they seem to have ignored the normally popular field of artificial intelligence to focus exclusively on virtual realities and massive computer simulations. Most of the complex has been ruined by weapons fire and micrometeoroids, but what remains is in remarkable condition given the station's age."
 precursor.51.desc:1 "The archaeologists investigating the Vultaum orbital complex above §Y[From.From.GetName]§! have stumbled upon an interesting find. They managed to recover a partial copy of what was apparently a fairly popular multi-user virtual reality game enjoyed by billions of Vultaum across their empire.\n\nAlthough the game takes place in a fictional and highly satirized version of their contemporary society, it has proved an invaluable source of information on both their language and customs."
 precursor.55.name:0 "Vultaum Asteroid Mining Base"
 precursor.55.desc:0 "§Y[From.GetName]§! is covered in impact craters from asteroid collisions, but one stands out - it appears to have been created through the detonation of some kind of antimatter device. There is evidence elsewhere on the asteroid's surface indicating that it was heavily mined by the Vultaum at some point roughly 12 million years ago. The large crater we found was presumably the location of their mining outpost."
 precursor.56.desc:1 "A closer examination of the destroyed Vultaum mining base on §Y[From.From.GetName]§! has uncovered some of their abandoned mining equipment in a surviving tunnel. It was uniquely designed for use with their worm-like anatomy, and appears to have been operated primarily through the body vibrations they used to communicate."
 precursor.100.name:0 "Vultaum Home System Located"
 precursor.100.desc:0 "After intense study of our recovered Vultaum artifacts, scientists on §Y[Root.Capital.GetName]§! have managed to deduce the exact galactic coordinates of Vultaumar - the home system of the ancient Vultaum civilization! We should launch an expedition to this system before someone else beats us to it."
 precursor.100.a:0 "Contact the nearest Science Ship!"
 precursor.101.name:0 "The Vultaum Homeworld"
 precursor.101.desc:1 "The shattered remnants of the Vultaum homeworld reveal that it underwent a massive extinction event 12 million years ago, caused by the detonation of some kind of antimatter device. From the ruins that remain on the [FromFrom.GetPlanetMoon]'s surface, we have learned that Vultaum society experienced a radical ideological shift a century before their extinction.\n\nTheir new philosophy posited that the entire universe was an artificial reality which all sapient beings had been unwittingly plugged into for the amusement of some higher power. The Vultaum undertook increasingly radical attempts to forcefully "disconnect" themselves from this simulation, most of which involved mass suicide.\n\nThey finally concluded that only the simultaneous disconnection of billions of individuals would destabilize the system enough to grant them freedom. At an agreed upon hour, Vultaum everywhere killed themselves by any means available. Those who refused to take part in this mass suicide were too few to repopulate the species, and so the Vultaum faded into obscurity and eventual extinction."
 precursor.102.name:0 "Vultaum Homeworld Discovered"
 precursor.102.desc.a:1 "The shattered homeworld of the ancient Vultaum has been found, but it has clearly been visited by someone else recently. Nothing of value remains to be found on the [FromFrom.GetPlanetMoon]."
 precursor.102.desc.b:1 "According to our survey data, this broken world once served as the homeworld of an ancient civilization known as the "Vultaum." There are signs that other spacefarers visited here recently... nothing of value remains to be found on the [FromFrom.GetPlanetMoon]."
 precursor.500.name:0 "The Yuht Empire"
 precursor.500.desc:1 "We have recovered artifacts from an ancient alien civilization on §Y[From.GetName]§!! Our scientists think they inhabited this region of stars roughly six million years ago, based on the age of the artifacts. The aliens called themselves the "Yuht" and appear to have been very large and flat arthropod analogues.\n\nIt seems a single individual could reach a length of nearly a hundred meters as an adult, and it was apparently exceedingly rare for more than two or three Yuht to travel aboard the same starship. "
 precursor.505.name:0 "Yuht Hatchery World"
 precursor.505.desc:0 "[From.GetName] was subjected to extensive orbital bombardment at some point in the distant past, during which the biosphere suffered catastrophic damage. The [From.GetPlanetMoon] appears to have been home to a small outpost built by the ancient Yuht, but why that would warrant the devastation of an entire world is a mystery."
 precursor.506.desc:1 "After extensive studies of §Y[From.From.GetName]§!, we now know that the [From.From.GetPlanetMoon] served as one of several "hatchery worlds" in the Yuht Empire. Their Ministry of Breeding prepared worlds by sterilizing them of predators and other potentially harmful elements before planting eggs on the surface.\n\nThe Yuht hatchlings were then left on their own in this relatively safe environment for several centuries until they developed a level of near-sapience. Only then were they collected and carefully introduced into society."
 precursor.510.name:0 "Yuht Listening Post"
 precursor.510.desc:0 "We have discovered several massive listening arrays on [From.GetName]. These arrays are millions of years old and we believe they were originally built by the Yuht, though it appears at least one other alien civilization repurposed them at some point in the last 500,000 years for their own needs. The colossal receiving dishes are beyond repair, but some terminals are still intact."
 precursor.511.desc:1 "Our archaeologists on §Y[From.From.GetName]§! have learned that the listening arrays built there were used to scan space for any signs of intelligent alien life - something the Yuht had never once encountered.\n\nAfter managing to partially restore power to a computer terminal, the archaeologists acquired a data disc with log files from the sensor array stretching over centuries. These logs suggest that this section of the galaxy was indeed devoid of sapient life at the time of the Yuht Empire."
 precursor.515.name:0 "Yuht Colony"
 precursor.515.desc:0 "The ruins of several dozen massive Yuht arcologies can be found in the southern hemisphere of §Y[From.GetName]§!, indicating that this [From.GetPlanetMoon] was one of their major colonies.\n\nInside one of the crumbling buildings our ground team discovered the remains of what appears to be a museum exhibiting "famous alien frauds." These are various artifacts collected by Yuht from throughout their empire, claimed to prove the existence of sapient alien life. In each case, the museum has debunked the artifacts as frauds."
 precursor.516.desc:1 "Most of the artifacts exhibited by the Yuht museums on §Y[From.From.GetName]§! are missing, but our archaeologists managed to recover one of these supposed frauds. It seems to be an instrument used for measuring cosmic radiation, but the archaeologists have confirmed that it predates the Yuht by several million years. Contrary to the opinion of the Yuht museum, this would indeed seem to be an authentic alien artifact."
 precursor.520.desc:0 "Signs of Yuht development can be found all across §Y[From.GetName]§!, and the [From.GetPlanetMoon] must have experienced limited terraforming at some point. One region in the northern hemisphere is some kind of massive graveyard. No Yuht settlements can be found nearby, but there are many monuments marking burial sites.\n\nWith a low birthrate and an average lifespan close to a thousand years, each Yuht death was treated as a significant event and much emphasis was placed on burial ceremonies."
 precursor.521.desc:1 "The archaeological digs on [From.From.GetName] have revealed that most of the graves were looted in the millions of years since they were first dug, likely as a result of the Yuht custom of burying their dead with jewelry and other extravagant gifts. In a pile of things discarded by the looters, the archaeologists found a large doll resembling an adult Yuht. They speculate that it may have served as a good luck charm or memento of some kind."
 precursor.525.desc:0 "A massive ground war was fought on §Y[From.GetName]§! between the Yuht and a second species that we know little of. This campaign took place in the final years of the Yuht Empire, and though it occurred millions of years ago, wreckage of ruined war machines can still be found.\n\nAlthough the [From.GetPlanetMoon] was an important Yuht colony, their cities and outlying settlements were never rebuilt after the fighting ceased, which would seem to indicate that they ultimately lost the campaign."
 precursor.526.desc:1 "After combing through several of the ancient battlefields on §Y[From.From.GetName]§!, our archaeologists recovered what appears to be a Yuht battle harness. Several large-caliber cannons were still attached to it, and the archaeologists theorize that Yuht soldiers, given the massive size of their bodies, fought as what can essentially be described as large mobile fortresses."
 precursor.530.name:0 "Yuht Satellite"
 precursor.530.desc:0 "A Yuht satellite was placed in orbit around §Y[From.GetName]§! to commemorate the moment of first contact between their empire and the Jabbardeeni, a contemporary civilization. This event occurred right here in the [From.GetStarName] system, and had a profound impact on all levels of Yuht society.\n\nFor over a million years they had thought themselves alone in the galaxy, and the Yuht reacted with both awe and horror upon the discovery of sapient alien life. The [Root.GetName] has recovered the satellite, which now awaits a full analysis."
 precursor.531.desc:1 "After analyzing the satellite we recovered above §Y[From.From.GetName]§!, our archaeologists found an ingrained, highly stylized picture of what appears to be a Yuht cruiser and a much smaller Jabbardeeni scout in close formation during the first contact event. This has given us some notion of what their starships looked like."
 precursor.535.name:0 "Yuht Cruiser"
 precursor.535.desc:0 "The remains of a Yuht cruiser have been found in orbit around §Y[From.GetName]§!. It seems to have fallen victim to weapons fire, but given the extreme age of the hulk it is difficult to be certain. There is no indication that the ship was ever equipped with an FTL drive - it must have traveled between stars at sublight speeds."
 precursor.536.desc:1 "The archaeologists investigating the derelict Yuht cruiser above §Y[From.From.GetName]§! have transmitted their report. There are two large cryo chambers in the cruiser's mid-section, designed to house one Yuht each in suspended animation. Given the massive size of Yuht individuals, this was apparently their standard crew complement on vessels of this size.\n\nNo Yuht remains were found anywhere on the ship, but the archaeologists managed to recover logs from a computer that monitored the life signs and medical condition of the crew. It has provided valuable data on Yuht physiology."
 precursor.540.name:0 "Yuht Colony Ship"
 precursor.540.desc:0 "The partial remains of an ancient Yuht starship have been found in high orbit over §Y[From.GetName]§!. An initial analysis conducted by the [Root.GetName] indicate that the vessel may have served as a colony ship.\n\nEven cruiser-sized Yuht ships were typically crewed by only one or two individuals given the immense size of their bodies, but this hulk has more than a dozen cryo-pods attached, each containing withered exoskeletons from what must have been Yuht colonists."
 precursor.541.desc:1 "Most of the remains of the derelict Yuht colony ship that orbits §Y[From.From.GetName]§! are in poor condition, but our archaeologists managed to recover the vessel's sublight engines. The Yuht never breached the light barrier, depending instead on cryo technology and thousand year long natural life-spans to spread their empire across the stars."
 precursor.545.name:0 "Yuht Asteroid Dwelling"
 precursor.545.desc:0 "This asteroid appears to have served as the home of a single Yuht individual. Deep scans show a series of connected caves in the asteroid's interior that follow a pattern similar to the rooms seen in ancient Yuht dwellings that have been discovered elsewhere. To learn more we will have to dispatch an away team to investigate the cave system."
 precursor.546.desc:1 "After investigating the Yuht dwelling on asteroid §Y[From.From.GetName]§!, we have learned that it was the home of the famous philosopher-hermit "Yakliir." She was evidently a figure of some renown in their culture, and references to her have been found in several different Yuht sources. Yakliir's remains were found by the dwelling's main airlock, where she perished waiting for a scheduled supply shuttle that never arrived."

 precursor.600.desc:0 "After intense study of our recovered Yuht artifacts, scientists on §Y[Root.Capital.GetName]§! have managed to deduce the exact galactic coordinates of Yuhtaan - the home system of the ancient Yuht civilization! We should launch an expedition to this system before someone else beats us to it."
 precursor.601.name:0 "The Yuht Homeworld"
 precursor.601.desc:1 "We have confirmed that §Y[FromFrom.GetName]§! was the original homeworld of the Yuht. The [FromFrom.GetPlanetMoon] suffered extensive orbital bombardment roughly four million years ago. Twisted metal skeletons are all that remain of the massive arcologies that once covered the surface.\n\nFrom what we can piece together, it seems the Yuht spent the better part of a million years searching local space in vain for signs of intelligent alien life. When they finally encountered the Jabbardeeni, a young race that had only recently achieved interstellar travel, their alien psychology was a tremendous shock.\n\nThe Yuht leadership reached a consensus: the Jabbardeeni had to be eradicated before they grew too powerful. A massive surprise attack was launched, which was beaten back at great cost for both sides. Despite their young age, the Jabbardeeni were already experimenting with technologies the Yuht had never considered, and eventually they gained the upper hand. After less than a decade of warfare, the two million year old Yuht Empire was utterly destroyed."

 precursor.602.desc.b:1 "Our survey of §Y[FromFrom.GetName]§! has revealed that the [FromFrom.GetPlanetMoon] was once the homeworld of an ancient species known as the "Yuht." This system was recently visited by other interstellar travelers, however, and they appear to have picked the [FromFrom.GetPlanetMoon] clean of anything of value."
 precursor.1000.name:0 "The First League"
 precursor.1000.desc:1 "We have recovered artifacts from an ancient alien civilization on §Y[From.GetName]§!! If what we have learned from these artifacts is correct, this civilization was some sort of confederation that consisted of many different alien races. They called themselves the "First League" and appear to have co-existed in relative peace some two million years ago.\n\nThough the [From.GetStarName] system lies in the region of space that seems to have made up the core of their territory, a partial map found among the artifacts indicates that this First League may have covered a significant portion of our galaxy before its eventual collapse."
 precursor.1005.name:0 "League Naval Base"
 precursor.1005.desc:0 "The wreckage of what must have been a major First League naval base has been detected in orbit around §Y[From.GetName]§!. We know the League maintained a massive fleet called the "Grand Navy" to combat piracy and safeguard member nations from external aggressors - this particular outpost appears to have provided berthing for one of their rimward patrol fleets."
 precursor.1006.desc:1 "Our archaeological mission to the First League naval base has concluded. We recovered the emblem of the 28th Outer Rim Patrol Fleet, a mid-sized task force charged with the defense of trade routes leading to League associate nations along the galactic rim. The base orbiting [From.From.GetName] was apparently their home port."
 precursor.1010.name:0 "League Cruiser"
 precursor.1010.desc:0 "The bow section of an ancient First League cruiser has been discovered orbiting §Y[From.GetName]§!. There is insufficient debris nearby to account for the rest of the ship, but what little remains is in very poor condition. The hull has been riddled with holes from what appears to be large mass driver projectiles."
 precursor.1011.desc:1 "The archaeological expedition to the First League cruiser orbiting §Y[From.From.GetName]§! has returned. Little of use could be found on the ruined vessel, but the archaeologists did manage to recover its crew manifest. The First League called upon all of its member worlds to staff the Grand Navy, their joint starfleet, and through the manifest we have learned that the crew of this particular cruiser was made up of individuals from twelve different species."
 precursor.1015.name:0 "The Khamdai Homeworld"
 precursor.1015.desc:0 "The survey of §Y[From.GetName]§! has revealed that the [From.GetPlanetMoon] was the homeworld of the insectoid Khamdai, one of the founding members of the ancient First League. Massive hive-like cities once covered most of the surface, but we have learned that the Khamdai banned all construction in a large circular region extending across more than a third of the southern hemisphere. This area served as both a mating ground and nature reserve."
 precursor.1016.desc:1 "Our archaeological expedition to §Y[From.From.GetName]§! has learned much about the now-extinct Khamdai. They were a warrior culture that fought several wars against many of the other First League founders soon after their first starships breached the light barrier.\n\nAfter meeting with defeat, the Khamdai became an enthusiastic supporter of the First League's founding and many of their finest warriors would go on to serve as shock troops against the League's enemies. We have recovered a perfectly preserved "magil-sha," a ceremonial sickle used by Khamdai members of the First League Honor Guard."
 precursor.1020.name:0 "The Chassago Homeworld"
 precursor.1020.desc:0 "This world is the ancient homeworld of the serpentine Chassago, one of the founding members of the First League. The vast majority of their cities were located underground and [From.GetName] is riddled with tunnel networks, of which most have collapsed in the two million years since the Chassago went extinct. Probes from the [Root.GetName] have identified the probable locations of several subterranean cities."
 precursor.1021.desc:1 "The excavation of the subterranean Chassago cities on §Y[From.From.GetName]§! is well underway, and we have already learned much about this ancient species. They were reptilian, with elongated and legless bodies that could be twenty meters or longer in adult individuals.\n\nAll surviving accounts indicate that the Chassago were expert traders, and their trade barges were often the first point of contact between non-affiliated races and the First League. It is doubtful whether it could have expanded as rapidly as it did without the benefit of the extensive Chassago trade network that already existed before its foundation."
 precursor.1025.name:0 "The Migir-Yan Homeworld"
 precursor.1025.desc:0 "The diminutive but fast-breeding Migir-Yan were one of the founding members of the ancient First League, and §Y[From.GetName]§! was their homeworld. The population was clustered into hundreds of massive arcologies spread out across the surface, each capable of supporting several hundred million individuals.\n\nThese arcologies were connected by a network of skyways, and the Migir-Yan were evidently content to leave the rest of the [From.GetPlanetMoon]'s wilderness untouched."
 precursor.1026.desc:1 "Fossilized remains of the extinct Migir-Yan have been recovered by our archaeologists on §Y[From.From.GetName]§!, allowing us to paint a clearer picture of what this species looked like. Unusually small, with most individuals being no taller than 0.6 meters, these mammalian rodent analogues were herbivores.\n\nMigir-Yan family units often consisted of close to a thousand individuals, and an individual's station in society depended almost exclusively on their social skills. The Migir-Yan diplomatic corps is believed to have been the driving force behind the creation of the First League."
 precursor.1030.name:0 "The V'ropak Homeworld"
 precursor.1030.desc:0 "§Y[From.GetName]§! was the homeworld of the avian V'ropak, a species that was among the founding members of the ancient First League. These flightless bird analogues walked on long, spindly legs and fossilized remains suggest that their females could reach heights of up to four meters, while males were slightly smaller.\n\nAll of their cities were built inside hollowed out mesas. Scans indicate that some of these mesas were artificially constructed, presumably by the V'ropak themselves after they ran out of natural candidates to build new cities within."
 precursor.1031.desc:1 "When the First League was at the zenith of its power, the V'ropak were renowned as the best scientists in the galaxy. Their research innovations drove the League's initial expansion phase, and more than one species was brought into the fold by promises of access to V'ropak technology. Unfortunately, none of this technology remains to be found among the ruins of [From.From.GetName] today."
 precursor.1035.name:0 "League Science Base"
 precursor.1035.desc:0 "A surface scan of §Y[From.GetName]§! has identified the remnants of an ancient installation on the [From.GetPlanetMoon]'s surface. Most of the facility was wiped out in a massive explosion some two million years ago, but a few outlying buildings more or less survived the blast. All evidence recovered so far points towards this having been some sort of research base built by the First League."
 precursor.1036.desc:1 "The archaeological expedition we sent to §Y[From.From.GetName]§! has returned. Very little remained of the First League research base they were sent to investigate, but judging by its isolated location, we suspect that the research conducted there was of a dangerous nature - possibly involving dimensional travel or advanced bio-weapons.\n\nA recovered data disc from the "Academy of Sciences" has offered some insights into how the scientific community of the First League was organized."
 precursor.1040.name:0 "Joint League Colony"
 precursor.1040.desc:0 "Ruins of a First League colony have been unearthed on §Y[From.GetName]§!. The colony appears to have been a social experiment conducted in the League's waning years - the initial population consisted of an equal number of colonists from all of the League's member species. It was abandoned less than fifty years after its founding."
 precursor.1041.desc:1 "Our archaeologists have learned more about the lost colony on §Y[From.From.GetName]§!. At its founding, the First League was already on the verge of collapse and the colony was meant to serve as a propaganda tool - a model world where all League members were represented and worked together in harmony.\n\nThis effort appears to have backfired, as there is evidence of significant infighting between the colonists, including a large massacre that occurred just before the colony was abandoned."
 precursor.1045.name:0 "League Trade Center"
 precursor.1045.desc:0 "Two million years ago, §Y[From.GetName]§! served as a major trading hub for the member nations of the First League. Large portions of the [From.GetPlanetMoon]'s surface was covered in towering cities, and we have identified the ruins of at least twelve major spaceports in the northern hemisphere alone. The [From.GetPlanetMoon] was gradually abandoned over a period of several centuries, presumably as a result of shifting trade routes and the collapse of the First League."
 precursor.1046.desc:1 "It is unclear which species first settled this world - bones and fossilized remains from all known First League member species have been found on the [From.From.GetPlanetMoon] in nearly equal amounts. Our archaeologists have also secured remains from half a dozen races that weren't official members, but who seem to have enjoyed special trading privileges in First League space."
 precursor.1050.name:0 "Battle Wreckage"
 precursor.1050.desc:0 "A great battle between the Grand Navy of the First League and another fleet took place not far from here some two million years ago. The gravity well of [From.GetName] has since captured much of the debris left by this engagement, and the wreckage of several massive hulks can be found on the [From.GetPlanetMoon]'s surface."
 precursor.1051.desc:1 "Our archaeologists have successfully excavated several starship hulls on the surface of §Y[From.From.GetName]§!, relics from the massive space battle that took place in this system two million years ago. The forces involved were the 2nd and 3rd Fleets of the First League Grand Navy, fighting to contain an incursion by the combined fleets of the Rikim, a nomadic warrior species from the galactic rim.\n\nWhat began as a minor skirmish quickly escalated into a running fleet battle involving hundreds of ships on both sides. It is impossible to tell which side won."
 precursor.1055.name:0 "League Prison Complex"
 precursor.1055.desc:0 "The ruins of a large prison complex have been discovered on §Y[From.GetName]§!. This hostile world seems to have served as some kind of maximum-security penal colony in the First League. As a federal facility, the prison housed convicted felons from across all of League space.\n\nSurviving records indicate most of the prisoners were guilty of piracy, terrorism and other crimes of "extraordinary nature." Fossilized remains from some prisoners can still be found where the cells used to be."
 precursor.1056.desc:1 "The archaeological mission to §Y[From.From.GetName]§! has uncovered evidence of what appears to be a failed escape attempt some distance south of the prison complex. A toppled utility vehicle from the prison was found behind a small cliff, and several kilometers beyond that the remains of several prisoners in stolen pressure suits were huddled together.\n\nThey seem to have died of asphyxiation when the oxygen supply in their suits ran out. For whatever reason, the prison authorities evidently saw no reason to collect the bodies."
 precursor.1060.name:1 "Protected [Owner.GetPreFTLUpper] World"
 precursor.1060.desc:1 "§Y[From.GetName]§! was inhabited by an early Bronze Age civilization some two million years ago. Interestingly, the [Root.GetName] has also found evidence of hidden observation posts on the [From.GetPlanetMoon] that were built by the First League. It would appear that they studied the [Owner.GetPreFTLLower] aliens while making an effort to avoid cultural contamination.\n\nMost of the observation posts were destroyed by advanced energy weapons, and we have found nothing yet to explain why the [Owner.GetPreFTLLower] civilization never advanced beyond the Bronze Age."
 precursor.1061.desc:1 "From our archaeological findings on §Y[From.From.GetName]§!, we have learned that the First League maintained a clear policy not to interfere in the development of pre-space civilizations. Hidden observation posts like the ones we found on this [From.From.GetPlanetMoon] were maintained on at least seven worlds throughout League space.\n\nThis particular civilization appears to have met its end when a band of slavers invaded during the power vacuum that resulted from the First League's collapse."
 precursor.1065.name:0 "Orbital Blockade"
 precursor.1065.desc:0 "§Y[From.GetName]§! lies deep inside what was considered First League space two million years ago, and it appears to have been either a major colony or the homeworld of a species described as "non-compliant" in surviving League records.\n\nThe two parties appear to have been engaged in some kind of trade war, and the League's Grand Navy maintained extensive blockades of the [From.GetPlanetMoon] on at least two separate occasions. Orbital debris indicate that the blockades were violently challenged several times."
 precursor.1066.desc:1 "A team of archaeologists found the wreckage of a First League destroyer on the surface of §Y[From.From.GetName]§!. It must have been part of the orbital blockade, and seems to have gone down when the [From.From.GetPlanetMoon]'s native aliens detonated a hidden antimatter device on a captured blockade runner. The archaeologists managed to retrieve a partial copy of the destroyer's databanks, providing us with a list of all First League vessels that took part in the blockade."
 precursor.1070.name:0 "Smuggler Asteroid"
 precursor.1070.desc:0 "This asteroid appears to have served as a lawless port for the various criminal organizations that were active in the territory of the First League. Smugglers, pirates, mercenaries and other lowlifes from every League member species gathered here to offload illicit cargo, broker new deals or just relax in one of the asteroid's many cantinas."
 precursor.1071.desc:1 "The archaeological mission to asteroid §Y[From.From.GetName]§! has revealed much about the criminal underworld active throughout the First League two million years ago. As member nations opened borders to one another, crime flourished alongside trade. Smuggling and piracy appears to have been serious problems that occupied a large portion of the sizable League fleet."

 precursor.1101.name:0 "The First League Headquarters"
 precursor.1101.desc:1 "§Y[FromFrom.GetName]§! was the administrative center of the First League throughout most of its existence, and served as the seat of their Great Senate. The [FromFrom.GetPlanetMoon] was densely populated, with a planet-wide city covering most of the surface. Food had to be imported from other member worlds to support the untold billions living in this enormous metropolis.\n\nWhen the League collapsed, these food shipments ceased virtually overnight. Those with the means departed for other worlds, but most of the population remained behind. Mass starvation and anarchy followed as the [FromFrom.GetPlanetMoon] was carved up between warlords and criminal organizations.\n\nThe population continued to dwindle for a few centuries until the planet had been reduced to little more than a lifeless ghost world - a final epitaph of the First League."

From what we have translated so far of their language, we have learned that these aliens called themselves the "Irassian Concordat." They were an interstellar power that held sway over this region of the galaxy a little over a million years ago.\n\nThey appear to have been six-limbed mammalians, and there are several references to some sort of plague called the "Javorian Pox" which swept across their empire with devastating results, possibly leading to their extinction."
 precursor.1505.name:0 "Quarantined World"
 precursor.1505.desc:0 "§Y[From.GetName]§! was once a large Irassian colony, showing signs of both industrial development and terraforming. As on other Irassian worlds, the fossilized remains tell a harrowing tale - the population rapidly succumbed to the Javorian Pox, and there appears to have been widespread panic in all of the [From.GetPlanetMoon]'s major settlements. There is also an unusually large amount of debris in orbit, possibly the remnants of a battle."
 precursor.1506.desc:1 "We have analyzed the orbital debris, and our archaeologists conclude that §Y[From.From.GetName]§! was subjected to a military blockade before and during the Irassian colony's demise. The Irassian fleet had strict orders to quarantine the [From.From.GetPlanetMoon] in a vain attempt to contain the Javorian Pox. At least a dozen civilian ships made an attempt to break the blockade, and despite the heavy fighting it appears some were successful."
 precursor.1510.name:0 "Purified World"
 precursor.1510.desc:0 "It is immediately apparent that §Y[From.GetName]§!, an ancient Irassian colony, has been the victim of extensive orbital bombardment.

They were winged arthropoids, and recovered fossils suggest they were capable of at least limited flight - what little we have seen of their surviving architecture supports this theory.\n\nUnfortunately, there are few remains of this civilization, as the [From.GetPlanetMoon] seems to have been subjected to a massive orbital bombardment."
 precursor.1521.desc:1 "Our study of the alien ruins on §Y[From.From.GetName]§! has offered us new insights into the final moments of the Irassian Concordat. The Irassians believed that the Ti'Derg were part of a plot together with several of the Concordat's other client species to deliberately spread the Javorian Pox to Irassian worlds.\n\nWhether this was true or not we will likely never know, but the Irassian fleet felt the evidence was compelling enough to incinerate the entire [From.From.GetPlanetMoon] from orbit."

Given their age, the ruins found so far on the [From.GetPlanetMoon]'s surface are in fairly good condition. There are no signs of orbital bombardment or armed conflict.\n\nThe Irassian colonists appear to have succumbed to the Javorian Pox, after which the aggressive native flora reclaimed the lifeless cities and hid them under a dense layer of vegetation."
 precursor.1526.desc:1 "After clearing away the vegetation from one of the ancient Irassian settlements on §Y[From.From.GetName]§! and setting up energy field generators to keep predators at bay, our archaeologists conducted a thorough excavation of the ruins. We now have a much better understanding of what daily life in Irassian society was like.\n\nAmong the most valuable finds is a digital atlas, apparently used to teach Irassian children about their empire.

 precursor.1531.desc:1 "After investigating the boreholes on §Y[From.From.GetName]§!, our archaeologists found the fossilized remains of over a hundred Irassian miners at the bottom of one of them. They appear to be more victims of the Javorian Pox that brought about the fall of the Irassian Concordat. In a futile attempt to keep the disease from spreading, their comrades dumped the bodies down one of the boreholes before the [From.From.GetPlanetMoon] was evacuated."

Artifacts recovered amongst the debris have confirmed that this space station served as the headquarters of the Irassian Concordat's Authority of Disease Control some 1.2 million years ago.\n\nThe Irassians were far more susceptible to alien diseases than most known species, and the budget of their public health institute nearly rivaled that of their military. Despite this, surviving records show that their entire species perished from the Javorian Pox."

It is equipped with an array of powerful sensors that seem to be aimed towards neighboring systems. None of them are functional, and the asteroid appears to have been gone over and looted at least once by another party."
 precursor.1551.desc:1 "We have learned that the Irassians used the listening post on asteroid [From.From.GetName] to spy and plan attacks on neighboring civilizations during the expansionist phase of their empire. These attacks met with dramatic success, and the Irassians soon became the dominant power in this section of the galaxy. By the time they were decimated by the Javorian Pox, this listening post had long since been abandoned by the Irassian military."

 precursor.1556.desc:1 "An analysis of the Irassian orbital wreckage discovered above §Y[From.From.GetName]§! has yielded few answers, but we have some idea of what their scientists were studying in their research station. Recovered logs make references to some kind of artificial object floating deep inside the gas giant's crushing atmosphere.\n\nThe [Root.GetName] has found no trace of such an object despite repeated atmospheric scans, so either the Irassians finally managed to retrieve it or someone else did in the countless years since their demise."

 precursor.1601.desc:1 "Irassia - the former homeworld of the Irassian Concordat. Someone has relatively recently (within the last 2,000 years) gone through the trouble of systematically bombarding every square meter of the [FromFrom.GetPlanetMoon]'s surface from orbit - possibly a misguided attempt to keep the Javorian Pox from resurfacing.\n\nDespite this, the surface is still covered in the fossilized remains of the billions of Irassians who succumbed to the plague in the final years of their empire. By the time it had spread to their homeworld, most of the worlds in the Irassian Concordat had already fallen, and their alien vassals were in open revolt.\n\nJudging by ancient satellite logs recovered from orbit, the mood among the population on the Irassian homeworld was largely resigned by this point. The widespread panic that accompanied the first outbreaks of the pox on the colonies was largely absent, as most had come to accept the fact that the end was drawing near."

 precursor.2000.desc:1 "We have recovered artifacts from an ancient alien civilization on §Y[From.GetName]§!! Incredibly, this civilization, which apparently referred to itself as the "Cybrex," seems to have been made up of machines that were linked together in some sort of collective consciousness. The age of the artifacts indicate they were active some 600,000 years ago - in this portion of the galaxy at least - but we have learned nothing of their exact origins.\n\nAccording to a partial data fragment that our scientists managed to extract from one of the artifacts, the Cybrex at some point launched a crusade to destroy all sapient organic life in the galaxy for reasons unknown."

 precursor.2005.desc:0 "§Y[From.GetName]§! was the homeworld of the ancient Kuur, an alien civilization wiped out by the Cybrex roughly 600,000 years ago. The [From.GetPlanetMoon] has been thoroughly strip-mined by the machines, and a few scattered ruins are all that remain of the Kuur civilization. The rest has been grounded into dust."
 precursor.2006.desc:1 "We have learned that §Y[From.From.GetName]§! was the point of origin of the Cybrex. Some kind of sapient machine was created by the [From.From.GetPlanetMoon]'s original inhabitants, the Kuur. Although the details of how it happened are unknown to us, this eventually resulted in the birth of a massive communal machine consciousness - the Cybrex.\n\nAt some point they turned on the Kuur, butchering the population of their homeworld in a brief but destructive war that all but destroyed the [From.From.GetPlanetMoon]'s biosphere. The systematic elimination of Kuur colonies in neighboring systems followed, until their civilization had ceased to be."
 precursor.2010.name:0 "Indimak Homeworld"
 precursor.2010.desc:0 "§Y[From.GetName]§! was originally the homeworld of the Indimak, another victim of the relentless expansion of the Cybrex. The [From.GetPlanetMoon] was bombarded from orbit until the Indimak offered their surrender. Cybrex warforms then descended to the surface, initiating a program to exterminate the Indimak population that would last for three years.\n\nAlong with seven billion Indimak, this also resulted in the destruction of an estimated 97% of the [From.GetPlanetMoon]'s biota."
 precursor.2011.desc:1 "The biosphere of §Y[From.From.GetName]§! has only now started recovering from the Cybrex invasion 600,000 years ago. We have found the overgrown ruins of a Cybrex factory, where Indimak slaves were forced to assist in the demise of their own species by building war machines. When their extermination program was reaching completion, the Cybrex "disassembled" the remaining slave workers and dismantled the factories.\n\nAlthough they initially maintained a significant mining operation on the [From.From.GetPlanetMoon], the Cybrex appear to have later withdrawn from the entire system for unknown reasons."
 precursor.2015.name:0 "Broken Cybrex Warforms"
 precursor.2015.desc:0 "The broken remains of two Cybrex warforms have been discovered in orbit around §Y[From.GetName]§!. They appear to have been destroyed in battle, but no debris from their adversary has been found. Either they were badly outmatched, or there is more to this engagement than it seems."
 precursor.2016.desc:1 "After studying the wreckage of the two Cybrex warforms over §Y[From.From.GetName]§!, Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] has concluded that they were most likely destroyed while fighting each other. This theory explains the lack of non-Cybrex debris, and it fits the damage patterns found on the wrecks.\n\nWhy the two Cybrex vessels turned on each other remains a mystery, however. After they were immobilized, both warforms triggered some kind of self-destruct mechanism that fried their neural processors."
 precursor.2020.name:0 "Cybrex Invasion"
 precursor.2020.desc:0 "A massive ground war took place on §Y[From.From.From.GetName]§! when the Cybrex invaded the [From.From.From.GetPlanetMoon] more than 600,000 years ago. The name of the alien species that fought against them has not survived the passage of time, but they seem to have put up stiff resistance. Broken Cybrex war machines can be found all over the [From.From.From.GetPlanetMoon], and debris from their invasion fleet still drifts in orbit."
 precursor.2021.desc:1 "After their initial invasion of §Y[From.From.GetName]§! stalemated due to the unexpected tenacity of the [From.From.GetPlanetMoon]'s defenders, the Cybrex seem to have withdrawn back into orbit to reconsider their options.\n\nTheir solution to the problem was to maneuver two large asteroids on a collision course with the [From.From.GetPlanetMoon]. The impacts destroyed most of the industries and infrastructure the Cybrex had calculated on subverting for their own use, but this was deemed a necessary sacrifice to break the stalemate."
 precursor.2025.name:0 "Cybrex Ruins"
 precursor.2025.desc:0 "§Y[From.GetName]§! shows signs of having once been a heavily developed Cybrex world. With their typical efficiency, the machines have thoroughly strip-mined the [From.GetPlanetMoon] and ruins from massive factory complexes can be found in both hemispheres. Curiously, a large rectangular area near the equator appears to have been left largely untouched."
 precursor.2026.desc:1 "In a surprising departure from their previous behavior, the Cybrex seem to have established a large reservation on [From.From.GetName] where sapient organics were allowed to live completely undisturbed.\n\nAlthough they were closely monitored, the Cybrex left the inhabitants to develop on their own, even when a destructive civil war between the organics left the reservation largely depopulated. After several centuries the Cybrex suddenly abandoned the [From.From.GetPlanetMoon], and the reservation's remaining population gradually died out."
 precursor.2030.name:0 "Cybrex Listening Post"
 precursor.2030.desc:0 "§Y[From.GetName]§! is in fact an artificially constructed object, carefully concealed with a thin layer of rock to make it appear as an asteroid. The hollow interior houses an ancient Cybrex listening post, which was used to spy on space traffic within the system. It has long since ceased functioning."
 precursor.2031.desc:1 "A closer study of asteroid §Y[From.From.GetName]§! - in reality a hidden Cybrex listening post - has produced some interesting results. For whatever reason, the asteroid was left behind when the rest of the Cybrex vanished from the galaxy. It remained functional for at least 50,000 years after their disappearance, despite increasingly erratic behavior from its administrative AI.\n\nAfter more than five trillion failed attempts to connect with the Cybrex subspace hub, the AI appears to have suicided by short-circuiting all of the asteroid's systems."
 precursor.2035.name:0 "Cybrex Refinery"
 precursor.2035.desc:0 "Ancient debris from some kind of massive Cybrex refinery complex has been found in orbit around the gas giant §Y[From.GetName]§!. Lingering energy traces suggest that it was destroyed by some kind of antimatter weapon."
 precursor.2036.desc:1 "Evidence has been found indicating that the Cybrex were mining helium-3 from §Y[From.From.GetName]§!, using their orbital complex to refine the gas before distributing it as fuel to their roving space fleets.\n\nInterestingly, the energy signature of the antimatter weapon that destroyed the facility is distinctly Cybrex in origin. Why would they destroy their own refinery?"
 precursor.2040.name:0 "Battle Debris"
 precursor.2040.desc:0 "A colossal space battle occurred in high orbit of §Y[From.GetName]§! some 600,000 years ago, with ships from at least five different fleets participating. One of the fleets belonged to the Cybrex, although the vast majority of orbital debris seems to come from the other participants."
 precursor.2041.desc:1 "After analyzing the debris left behind from the ancient battle fought above §Y[From.From.GetName]§!, we have learned that four alien empires contemporary with the Cybrex pooled their forces together in a desperate attempt to halt the advancing fleets of the machine consciousness.\n\nJudging by the small amounts of Cybrex debris that was produced by the battle, they were not successful."
 precursor.2045.name:0 "Ancient Cybrex Base"
 precursor.2045.desc:0 "The hostile and unforgiving world of §Y[From.GetName]§! was home to what once appears to have been a large Cybrex base. Nothing remains of it now aside from scattered debris and a large crater. We will have to investigate the site of the base more closely if we are to learn more."
 precursor.2046.desc:1 "We have found debris on §Y[From.From.GetName]§! from a large ship that does not appear to have been of Cybrex origin in the crater that was once the site of their base. Our archaeologists speculate that the ship belonged to one of the organic civilizations under Cybrex attack. If so, it may have been sent to collide with the base on some kind of suicide run.\n\nNo other explanation for the destruction of the base has been found."

 precursor.2050.desc:0 "The ancient, frozen remains of almost a thousand aliens have been found in the vicinity of §Y[From.GetName]§!. They come from over a dozen different species and preliminary dating puts the corpses at roughly 600,000 years old... around the same time as the Cybrex machine consciousness ravaged this part of the galaxy."
 precursor.2051.desc:1 "The dead aliens we found above [From.From.GetName] all died from vacuum exposure, and each individual had the barcode the Cybrex were known to laser onto the skin of organic captives. It seems like the Cybrex executed these aliens by "spacing" them, perhaps after having finished interrogations or to keep them from escaping during some kind of rescue operation.\n\nWe may never know the truth."

The vacuum-exposed inside of the module is filled with the dead remains of creatures that are part machine and part organic."
 precursor.2056.desc:1 "An analysis of the Cybrex research module we found above §Y[From.From.GetName]§! has revealed that the machine consciousness was experimenting with cybernetic life forms. Hundreds of unfortunate prisoners were transported to this facility for the purpose of having their limbs and organs replaced with various mechanical contraptions.\n\nThe exact objective of these tests remains unclear - there is no evidence that the Cybrex ever made use of cybernetic units outside of this lab."

 precursor.2101.name:0 "The Cybrex Central Nexus"
 precursor.2101.desc:0 "It would seem that the Cybrex re-evaluated their galactic crusade against organic life at some point during its seventeenth year. Whether this change was prompted by losses on the battlefield or an ideological shift in their networked consensus we may never know, but for whatever reason the Cybrex decided to halt their campaign.\n\nThey began a slow withdrawal that lasted for nearly a century, until they eventually vanished completely. We now know that they retreated to this system, where they had constructed a massive ring world designed to house their entire civilization.\n\nThey isolated themselves here for several millennia, until an independent explorer chanced upon their system and spread its location to the rest of the galaxy. The news that the dreaded Cybrex had been found again prompted several neighboring powers to organize a massive military expedition, which bombarded the Cybrex ring world into rubble.\n\nStrangely, the Cybrex seem to have offered no resistance whatsoever."

Their membership seems to be made up primarily of the dispossessed and downtrodden - refugees, war veterans and others who have lost everything to the onslaught of the Scourge.\n\nDespite this, their ramshackle fleets have somehow managed to win several engagements against Prethoryn hunter-killer swarms. There are unconfirmed reports that their fleets include starships of unusual design..."
 crisis.51.a:0 "Who are these people?"
 crisis.52.desc:0 "We are the Sentinels. Our order has sworn to halt the murderous rampage of the Prethoryn no matter the cost. Where other empires crumble, we stand firm. Where they abandon their own to the Scourge, we give them the means to fight back.\n\nI am Grand Master Korgas, the first of our order. Do not be deceived by my appearance - Sentinels are recruited from all species in the galaxy, including yours. We ask only that your government keep up the fight against the Prethoryn and support our Sentinels where possible."
 crisis.52.a:0 "How are you able to fight back?"
 crisis.52.a.response:0 "Many Sentinels have military backgrounds. We are survivors from a dozen different fleets that fought the Prethoryn and lost. As Sentinels, we have learned from the mistakes of the past and work hard never to repeat them.\n\nAlso, I believe I mentioned that we recruit from all species in the galaxy. This includes the elder races, such as the [sentinel_fallen_empire.GetSpeciesNamePlural]. We have the support of several influential factions within the §H[sentinel_fallen_empire.GetName]§! who have no wish to see their galaxy devoured. They have donated both ships and resources to our cause."
 crisis.52.b:0 "Where are you based?"
 crisis.52.b.response:0 "For some time now we have been building up our headquarters in the §H[sentinel_system.GetName]§! system. The coordinates of this uncharted system were given to us by the [sentinel_fallen_empire.GetName], who also aided in the construction of our main base on §HSentinel Alpha§!.\n\nIt is quite a remarkable achievement, if I may say so. We have our own shipyards as well."

 crisis.52.c.response:0 "Keep up the fight, dear friends. The fate of our entire galaxy hangs in the balance.\n\nSentinel One out."
 crisis.55.desc_01:0 "Our galaxy is faced with two possible futures: either the Prethoryn Scourge consumes all organic life and moves on, or they are destroyed to the last of their despicable kind."
 crisis.55.desc_02:0 "We must redouble our efforts against the Scourge. This is a struggle that involves the entire galaxy."
 crisis.55.desc_03:0 "Conflicts between nations are pointless now. Any warships that are lost in battle to anyone or anything other than the Scourge must be considered an incredible waste."

 crisis.55.desc_05:0 "If you lack the means to fight the Scourge directly, you are more than welcome to donate resources to us. This will let us throw additional forces against the Prethoryn invaders."
 crisis.55.a:0 "What can you tell us about the Prethoryn?"
 crisis.55.a.response:0 "Alas, we don't know as much as we would like, but they are clearly extragalactic in origin. It is possible that they have devoured dozens or even hundreds of other galaxies before they reached ours... or we could be the first victims beyond their own home galaxy.\n\nAfter they have finished consuming all non-Prethoryn life on a planet, they terraform it into what can only be described as a twisted nightmare. These Infested Worlds are hostile to all other forms of life, and the only way to cleanse the infestation is to burn away the entire biosphere with intense orbital bombardment."
 crisis.55.b:0 "We would like to offer a donation. (1000 energy)"
 crisis.55.b.response:0 "Thank you for this generous donation. These resources will enable us to outfit an entire battle fleet for use in the war against the Scourge! If only more of the galaxy's nations shared your generosity, the war would soon be over."
 crisis.55.c.response:0 "As you are surely aware, outfitting a modern battle fleet requires a vast amount of resources. We will require no less than 1000 energy to put together a new strike group for use against the Scourge."
 crisis.55.e.response:0 "We regret that we cannot accept your donation at the moment, friends. Our burgeoning fleets have already strained our logistics system to its limit. The offer is much appreciated, however."
 crisis.55.d:0 "Goodbye."
 crisis.55.d.response:0 "The struggle continues. Sentinel One signing off."
 crisis.71.desc:0 "The Sentinels have taken note of your valiant struggle against the Prethoryn Scourge. Since the fleet commanders of the [Root.GetName] clearly know how to win battles, we would like to permanently transfer one of our battle fleets over to your control. We currently lack the manpower to effectively crew these vessels, but that shouldn't be a problem for you.\n\nYou must solemnly promise to only use these warships against the Scourge, however!"
 crisis.71.a:0 "Of course... only against the Scourge."
 crisis.71.a.response:0 "Excellent. We are certain that your brave captains will add to the storied histories of these magnificent warships. You will find the fleet near [Root.Capital.GetName]."
 crisis.71.b:0 "We have no need of your warships."
 crisis.71.b.response:0 "We understand. Then we ask only that you keep up the fight, friends. Every wretched Prethoryn that you blow out of the stars is a victory for the entire galaxy."

 crisis.101.name:0 "The Wounded Queen"
 crisis.101.desc:0 "A deep space spy drone has stumbled upon the site of what appears to have been a recent space battle between the Prethoryn and a second, as yet unidentified, party in the [queen_system.GetName] system. A Prethoryn Queen was badly injured in the fighting, and seems to have been left for dead.\n\nThe spy drone has reported that the creature is still alive, however. This could be a priceless opportunity to capture the Queen alive."

 crisis.105.name:0 "Long live the Queen!"
 crisis.105.desc:0 "The [Root.GetName] has managed to heal the worst of the Prethoryn Queen's injuries. Science Officer [Root.GetLeaderName] removed the organ responsible for the creature's subspace connection with the rest of the Scourge, and replaced it with a small positronic implant that gives us control over it.\n\nWe can now order the Queen around, and it has already started breeding new Prethoryn creatures that are loyal to it, and thus, by extension, us. As long as we can keep the Queen alive, we should be able to grow a fleet of domesticated Prethoryn creatures!"
 crisis.105.a:0 "They should prove an extremely useful asset!"
 crisis.107.name:0 "Someone Else Got The Queen"
 crisis.107.desc:0 "Someone else has captured the injured Prethoryn Queen that was discovered in the [queen_system_1.GetName] system!

 crisis.211.name:0 "The End of the Scourge"
 crisis.211.desc:0 "The galaxy breathed a collective sigh of relief today, as the last significant pockets of the Prethoryn Scourge were expunged. Their extragalactic invasion has failed, and all that remains of the Prethoryn's once colossal swarm are the innumerable charred husks that now drift quietly through the void.\n\nA sense of elation and utter joy is spreading across the galaxy at a speed greater than light, and spontaneous victory celebrations have erupted on countless worlds. Could this be the beginning of a new age of galactic peace and stability?"

 crisis.234.name:0 "Hole in the Void"
 crisis.234.desc.intro: "Over the last few months, the Prethoryn Queen we captured has appeared increasingly restless and uneasy. At first, we thought it was simply missing its connection with the rest of its kind, until our [get.telepaths.plural] received a communication from it, speaking of a 'Hole in the Void'.\n\nWhat it meant by this we found out only when we researched Prethoryn intergalactic travel methods and discovered a discrepancy in our astronomical database. While charting the likely path the Prethoryn had been following, we found that a small spiral galaxy some 30 million light-years distant from our own was missing."

Both theories seem equally implausible, and many have simply decried them as ludicrous, preferring to think that the missing galaxy never existed at all, invented by some erroneous use of a primitive telescope. Nonetheless, a palpable sense of dread and foreboding surrounds the whole incident..."

 diplomatic.1011.name:0 "Fleet Maneuvers: Collisions"
 diplomatic.1011.desc:0 "The complex maneuvers devised by Commander [exercise_admiral.GetName] have resulted in several minor collisions during the naval drills currently being held in the [exercise_system.GetName] system. Crew casualties were minimal and none of the involved ships suffered critical damage, but they will require some yard work upon the conclusion of the exercise."
 diplomatic.1011.a:0 "At least no ships were lost."
 exercise_collision_tooltip:0 "Several of our ships have sustained damage from collisions."
 diplomatic.1012.name:0 "Fleet Maneuvers: Ships Lost"
 diplomatic.1012.desc:0 "The [destroyed_ship_1.GetName] and the [destroyed_ship_2.GetName] were both tragically lost with all hands when the two starships collided during a high-speed maneuver that was part of the ongoing [exercise_system.GetName] naval drills. Next of kin have been notified."
 diplomatic.1012.a:0 "A sad day."
 exercise_ships_lost:0 "Two of our ships have been lost due to an accidental collision."
 diplomatic.1013.name:0 "Fleet Maneuvers: Promising Officer"
 diplomatic.1013.desc:0 "Captain [exercise_officer.GetName] of the [officer_ship.GetName] has shown a great deal of promise during the ongoing fleet exercises in the [exercise_system.GetName] system. The young officer has displayed initiative along with considerable leadership abilities, and the Admiralty has seen fit to immediately promote [exercise_officer.GetHerHim] to flag rank."
 diplomatic.1013.a:0 "The fleet is always in need of capable commanders."
 exercise_officer_tooltip:0 "Commander [exercise_officer.GetName] is available for assignment."
 diplomatic.1014.name:0 "Fleet Maneuvers: Public Interest"
 diplomatic.1014.desc:0 "The ongoing naval drills in the [exercise_system.GetName] system have attracted considerable media attention on [Root.Capital.GetName] and the colonies. Unclassified holo recordings showing some of the more dramatic maneuvers have made the public enamored with the valiant defenders of the [Root.GetName] serving in the fleet. Volunteers are flocking to our naval recruitment stations!"
 diplomatic.1014.a:0 "This should reduce costs."
 diplomatic.1020.name:0 "Intelligence on [From.Owner.GetSpeciesName] Maneuvers"
 diplomatic.1020.desc:0 "Our intelligence assets have gathered more information on the increased [From.Owner.GetSpeciesName] naval activity in the [exercise_system.GetName] system. The [From.Owner.GetName] seems to have gathered a large fleet there to conduct some kind of massive naval exercise on an unprecedented scale.\n\nAs of yet there are no signs that this exercise will translate into direct military operations against the [Root.GetName], its proximity to our border can only be seen as a deliberate provocation! How should we respond?"
 diplomatic.1020.a:0 "Lodge a diplomatic protest!"
 diplomatic.1020.b:0 "We will ignore their provocations."
 exercise_diplomatic_protest:0 "We make our displeasure at these exercises known to the [From.Owner.GetName]."
 diplomatic.1021.desc:0 "The [From.GetName] objects in the strongest possible terms to the provocative military exercise currently being held in the [exercise_system.GetName] system by [Root.GetSpeciesName] naval units.\n\nTo stage fleet maneuvers on such an unprecedented scale so close to our borders can only be construed as a thinly veiled threat. Our own forces have been placed on maximum alert, and our fleet commanders have been instructed to respond to any border violations with overwhelming force."
 diplomatic.1021.a:0 "Tell the [From.GetSpeciesNamePlural] to stay out of our affairs!"
 diplomatic.1021.b:0 "We can't afford an incident... cancel the exercise."
 diplomatic.1021.c:0 "Our diplomats will smooth things over."
 exercise_diplomatic_hardline:0 "We make a hard-line diplomatic response to their obnoxious little protest."
 exercise_diplomatic_canceled:0 "We cancel our ongoing fleet maneuvers to improve relations with the [From.GetName]. The military will not be pleased.\n\n"
 exercise_diplomatic_conciliatory:0 "We make a conciliatory response to lessen the diplomatic damage, but the exercise continues."
 diplomatic.1022.desc:0 "We have received your poorly phrased objection to the military exercises our glorious naval forces are currently conducting in the [exercise_system.GetName] system. Since that system, as you are no doubt aware, lies well within the sovereign territory of the [From.GetName], we do not see how what transpires there could possibly be any of your business.\n\nThe [Root.GetName] would do well not to send us any more such provocative and reckless diplomatic correspondence in the future.\n\nThis transmission ends now."
 diplomatic.1022.a:0 "This is intolerable!"
 diplomatic.1023.desc:0 "In light of the objections voiced by the [Root.GetName] to our naval maneuvers in the [exercise_system.GetName] system, the [From.GetName] has decided to terminate all ongoing exercises in the interest of fostering better relations between our two star nations.\n\nIt is our sincere hope that this action will help to defuse interstellar tensions while proving beyond doubt the [From.GetSpeciesName] commitment towards a lasting galactic peace."
 diplomatic.1023.a:0 "Perhaps they are earnest in their quest for peace..."
 diplomatic.1024.desc:0 "The [From.GetName] deeply regrets any misunderstandings our ongoing military exercises in the [exercise_system.GetName] system might have caused.\n\nThese naval drills were planned well in advance, and the location was chosen at random by our commanders. In no way should this be construed as some kind of threat or provocation directed at the [Root.GetName]."
 diplomatic.1024.a:0 "Is this yet another [From.GetSpeciesName] ruse?"
 diplomatic.1025.name:0 "Maneuvers Concluded"
 diplomatic.1025.desc:0 "The fleet maneuvers conducted by the [exercise_fleet.GetName] in the [exercise_system.GetName] system have been concluded. Commander [exercise_admiral.GetName] reports that we have learned much from this exercise, in large part due to its immense scale. Despite any potential diplomatic repercussions, the military benefits, at least, have been substantial."
 diplomatic.1025.a:0 "A job well done."
 diplomatic.1026.name:0 "[From.Owner.GetSpeciesName] Maneuvers Concluded"
 diplomatic.1026.desc:0 "Judging by the sudden drop in coded [From.Owner.GetSpeciesName] military transmissions coming from the [exercise_system.GetName] system, the naval exercise that was being held there by the [From.Owner.GetName] has finally come to an end."
