Beyond the newfound opportunities of finding Deuterium fuel in water- the heavy hydrogen being common on oceanic planets, ice, and asteroids fields or planetary rings- the main advantage of this new fusion generator is the incredible amount of energy it can produce. Fed directly into a ship hyperdrive, your ships can now travel <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">roughly 50 times the speed of light</span></span>, or traveling <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">one light year in roughly one week</span></span>.
With the sudden closeness of everything- your empire feels less like tiny islands separated by oceans and more like cosmic neighborhood! Shipments can come and go faster, colonists will spend less downtime in their suspension pods- even things like flights without suspension or space cruises suddenly become possible! While space is still so absurdly fast things must be planned out ahead, the newfound reach of your empire's ships and military means you could safely and comfortably expand your borders further- or just enjoy a more connected empire then ever before!
None to soon either- as the Vetuck II listening station reports on a new development. The Vetuck II aliens are attempting to make contact. The old “Star King” is no longer just a myth and a legend then, eh Eoba II? It seems it is finally time to meet them.
Arriving on the planet in person, you find an entourage waiting for you. The current <span class="mu-i">King of the Land</span> is a descendant of the first King Aok- his nation and people are the most advanced Vetuck aliens; having destroyed their religion, conquering and connecting populations across the land, and advancing the basic social infrastructure the Hegemony desired in them. He kneels as your shuttle touches down at the field in which he waited for you.
<span class="mu-g">”Mighty Star King- we have waited for this promised day for so long. I am the King of the Land, and I bring you tribute- virgins and gold for his godliness.”</span>
Ehh. Perhaps you should be flattered, but you really don't know what Eoba II was thinking. Those women are way too big and swarthy for your tastes. But then again, you're not really into Indigos or Blondes either- a bit old fashioned that way.
