Turn 30
Turn 30
The Caffeinians knew that the counter-attack against them would be coming very soon and that it was unlikely that the would be able to defend their homeworld from the invasion. So they made an agreement with Strata Inc. to take over one of the Strata Inc. worlds in return for providing marines as required. The Caffeinians started sending ships via P12 and P10 towards the chosen world of M9.
At E12 both Regul and Kallikanzaroi colony ships arrived accompanied by armed escorts. A shooting match resulted following the orders with the Regul fleet. This was a very close battle with the Kallikanzaroi on the losing side but with the Regul losing one ship and having a second badly damaged.
The Kallikanzaroi achieved Tech Level 5 in Computers while the Drahmini reached the same level in Communications. The Fleet's Tech Level 5 in Maneuver Drive meant that three empires reached Tech Level in a research area during this turn.
