>>5852968Action 1: Develop August Nova
This new home for humanity is developed from the ground up. Solar collectors are established to beam energy from the Nova star, great and colossal mining trains are established with refinery terminals seperate from the civilian network to harvest and process raw resources into any number of goods. New cities are established upon Nova Rheia itself, already burgeoning with new human life as the colonists spread across its surface. Botanical institutions are set up all across the planet to catalogue the various flora for useful properties, as cities are connected by skyscraping monorails, aerial terminals, ports and orbital terminals. This new second home for humanity develops at mach pace, expected by some to contribute more to the polity than Old Earth does within a hundred years.
Action 2: Scout east to the hyperlane junction.
The Noon, still a comissioned (if ageing) vessel, is retrofitted for the new century and equipped with new technologies for a new exploration beyond the borders of the polity.
There they find a swirling system of debris, trinary stars that dance around a messy system littered with asteroids and colossal moons. Only one significant body exists here, a modest gas giant with an unusual orbit.
