It has been <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">10 years</span></span> since you conquered the Nan system. During that time, you have expanded your empire and worked in more and more of your xeno assets into the empire as a whole. While a small number of blind Jaxtians can work as navigators, along with using your old slow “calculate and stake” method of finding hyperspace routes, the real star are the <span class="mu-i">migrators</span>.
Not all blind Jaxtians can develop Starsight. It might be tied to intelligence, or perhaps the unique qualities of leadership and willpower that make up a Supreme Ruler. Kimnan learned his ability basically instantly after losing his vision- where as the newly blinded volunteers sometimes take weeks, to even a year- or never. Migrators, however, are so naturally suited for it that they seem almost instinctually capable of navigating hyperspace- it is so similar to their abyssal environment that a simple computer uplink with their neural impulses in their brain can essentially “steer” a ship through hyperspace. It's a good thing they're so good at it too- because <span class="mu-i">training</span> them is a real pain in the ass. You have to feed them, keep them in water just above freezing (to them, it's like a sauna), and basically feed them caffeine to get them to chart a hyperspace course with any efficacy. Thankfully, small groups of ships can reliably follow one “navigation” lead ship, and they can do so through quantum entanglement. No pesky worms reading your hyperspace coordinates.
You have sent a small fleet of ships, a frigate and two unarmed colony ships packed to the brim with settlers, to the Andoen system. With this place already well explored and documented, it's easy for you to continue fulfilling your vow and building here. While an already habitable world is extremely tempting, it may be better to focus your efforts on the Azurium rich desert world, so you won't have to deal with that defense system...
Which planet do you want to set up your first colony on around this red giant, your Supremacy?
>Andoen I
>Andoen II
