Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

We have exhausted every resource we have trying to bring as many people from Earth to Oasis as we can. Now we can do nothing more but wait and try to scrape a future together from the ashes. Should we have left more behind? Or do those of us that were chosen deserve to die on this world, starving in...

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

The Celimy League, a ruthless megacorporation, are proving to be the allies we need. With the rebel Barnard's Star between us and the increasingly hostile Alari, we have a buffer on that front, though they are our own people. Or they once were. Their fight for survival cannot be made any easier by c...

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

Oasis is our only hope, and it will be our last. We are shut in on all sides by alien empires, one of them our former colony. It is the final days of 2219. By the time we are able to move people to Oasis, we will have to move them all.

What happens then is what happens to us.

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

The failings of the Interrim Crisis Government are worse than they appeared. Barnard's World went into open revolt and threw off the authoritarian Interrim Governor, taking their world by violence.

We will let it go. We do not have the resources to fight our own people.

Oasis is our only hope now.

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

No sooner than we started transferring citizens from Earth to Barnard's World, than we started suffering there from the same problems that have plagued our civilization since time immemorial. Is the Interrim Crisis Government unnecessarily harsh? Are the conditions on Barnard's World a death sentenc...

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

In the very same year that the Colony at Barnard's World is established, we found a glimmer of hope. In the Unur system, many jumps further than Barnard's Star, is a tiny ocean world, much better suited to our needs. Can we survive on Barnard's World long enough to make to the Unur system? This is o...

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

First contact with the Confederacy of Alaria happened far faster than we would have hoped. Already the vastness of space seems to close in around us. Our growing exploration fleet has found only one other choice, a world every bit as inhospitable as Barnard's World and dauntingly distant. The powerf...

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

Star Date 2205.09.20 Our colony ship has made planetfall on Barnard's World and those valiant colonists are going about the process of converting their ship into a shelter. Compared to Earth, Barnard's World is only one tenth as hospitable to human life. This colony will struggle to fight the elemen...

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

The very moment our science vessel, the ISS Enigma, was capable of hyper jumps, it began searching for somewhere, anywhere our species could find respite. A small world in a close orbit of Barnard's Star is just such a place. Inhospitable, dry, harsh, but rich in minerals. We will take the leap to t...

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

So I went with Humans and Earth as the starting point this time. Those of us who have made it this far are communal and nomadic, and we have just a precious few decades to save ourselves. The Interrim Crisis Government is totalitarian, efficient, and maintains total control over where people live an...

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

So, one of the Origin options that has my interest is the Doomsday origin. You start out with your homeworld on the brink of apocalypse with 35-45 years before it explodes killing everyone on it. It comes with a warning that it is really challenging. I think this is an interesting starting point for...

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

So far, the new Origins seem interesting. The shattered ring start is the one I've played so far and the one I was most interested in. It is, as I expected, very powerful. Unfortunately, you cannot fully restore it, which takes some of its allure away for me. The galactic community and galactic sena...

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

So, it's been a while since I've done anything on Stellaris, and a big reason for that was the news about the content in the next major patch and DLC release. Stellaris always releases both a general patch and DLC content at the same time, followed by updates and a few upgrades before going "do...

Led by the battle hardened Warlord Veldanur, we will seek out and find any life, riches, and knowledge in the galaxy and claim it as our own. Our captains, though new to...
