Turn 7
Turn 7
The most significant event this turn was the accidental joint colony between the Fleet and the Worati. Both empires had detected the world (L13) between them without detecting the other empire. So both empires sent out colony ships which arrived together. Since neither colonising fleet had any weapons I decided that both would land and thus a joint colony was formed. The joint colony had the effect of helping to pull these two empires together which turned out to be a very useful effect for the Worati in later turns....
Elsewhere it can be seen that most empires now had at least one colony. There are six exceptions: The Caffenians (still researching), the Drahmini (still deeply researching), the Gobannaen Principalities (still waiting to find an unoccupied world), the Chroniomancy of Iyanden, the Jerandi People's Republic (these two both having only just discovered a world to colonise) and the Picans (who researched and built two Large Colony Ships in preference to the standard size one).
