The Boarder Wars I
This game began at start of June. It was more of a teaching game, where the players could get used to the game. It featured almost nothing special, except the inclusion of an AI - The House Cats.
The set up was as follows:
It turned out (so far) that the House Cats have become a somewhat common enemy. Their Hyper Expansionist abilties have turned most of the game into a search-and-destroy mission against their colonist onslaught. Vast amonts of resources on all sides have been allocated to this effort.
The first 5 turns were generated Normal, and the next 5 were generated at 5 years apiece.
As of year 2437, all subsequent turns are to be generated at 5 years a pop. This is mostly due to the fact the game is a "learning game". It is bascilly intented to end at the end of August - September. A new game will begin soon after.
Galactic Chaos
Yet another learning game. This one contains all the players of The Boarder Wars I, plus a new-newbie (hence the Chaos title, har-de-har). This time players were allowed to create their own races. For that extra spice, an AI is included. As the game has just begun, we don't know who the AI is. Yet.
Here's the setup:
The Boarder Wars I, Update:
This was a time line kept by one of the players for The Boarder Wars I. After seeing this, I decided to keep one of my own for my new games, plus encourage other players to do the same. BTW, I was the Insectoids.

Silicanoid Scout #9 orbits our mining operation on Philistia
First message received by Silicanoids, expressing greetings but requesting
no contact.
From: The Silicanoids
To: The Nucleotids
((All this comes from a hail message to any ships in the areas of any planet
I control. The voice sounds like it has an echo))
The Great Empire of Rydin offers its greetings and wishes state a few things
to all unknown forces in the area. We wish for a peaceful beginning. Any
un-armed ships are welcome to orbit any of our planets. However if any armed
ships enter a orbit around one of the empire's planets it will be considered
hostile and action will be taken upon that ship. We like to mind our own
business but if provoked we will not act kindly. However if left alone [we]
will do the same
Silicanoids agree to Pact Of 2424. It states that in exchange for information
on the House Cat empire, the Silicanoids will not go south of a horizontal
border that runs thru the colony of Harding. The only exception is ships
bound for Arcade, a recently established Silicanoid colony just south of
that border. The Pact also requests that we do not enter Silicanoid Prime
Space, which is defined as the space enclosed by the worlds Presley, Gates,
Harding, Joffre.
2425
Distant Raven (w/Tanker) jump thru Candy Corn Wormhole. Exit 44.1 LY East
of Grant, in Quadrant III. Other side: Volatile.

Diamond side-Slightly volatile.
Mineral Packet detected, heading for BasketCase.
House Cat Colony Ship #3 made orbit around Candy Corn. Two Shadow Destroyers
in pursuit, 15.23 LY away.
Scanners detected the possible remnants of a battle. Silicanoid Destroyer
#7 was spotted at point (1549, 1297), along with salvage debris from a House
Cat vessel. Intelligence believes it to be from a House Cat colony ship.
The salvage contained 7kT Ironium, 3kT Boranium, 6kT Germanium.
Another attack may have happened at point (1518, 1322), near the planet
Mungle. It happened between another House Cat colony ship and Silicanoid
Destroyer #2. The colony ship survived the attack.
Intelligence spies in the Silicanoid Empire intercepted a report stating
long range colonies have detected a scout ship from a fourth race. Known
as the Insectoids, spies say the Silicanoids believe it originated from
the NW, most likely Quad III. Distant Raven (in Quad III) has not confirmed
this to be the case.
Warning sent to Silicanoids "Do NOT colonize Schwiiing."
2426
Cat Bombers destroys House Cat colony Wagner.
Dill Weed colonized.
Red Dwarf colonized.
House Cat mineral packet detected from Loki. Packet on collision course
with Strauss. Est. impact year: 2429. Cargo Ship Interceptor sent to catch
packet.
IT now believes Loki to be a possible House Cat homeworld.
System glitch damages computer information stored. All exploration reports
on worlds not colonized by us have been erased. Historical files corrupted.
Possible losses in Research as well. Reports on enemy ship designs gone.
Long range scanners have detected, for the first time, an Insectoid ship.
Most likely this is the vessel spotted by Silicanoids in 2425. It appears
to be a scout, on direct course with Invisible, in Silicanoid Prime Space.
It is 17.3 L.Y. NW of the planet. Possible origins include Lycra and Liver.
IT thinks the Insectoids live somewhere in the central area of the universe.
Spy Network gained information on a new Silicanoid destroyer, the White
Dragon class. Only one is known to exist in the fleet. It guards the elusive
homeworld, along with two standard destroyers and any defenses both on base
and planetside. The White Dragon is similar to our Kitty Slayer class (2
X-Ray Lasers, Long Hump 6, Battle Computer, Fuel Tank, Crobnium Armor) however,
she claims to have Beta Torpedoes, an upgrade from our Alpha ones on the
Kitty Slayer.
2427
New Worlds Colony Fleet traveled through Dwarf Wormhole. Colony ships sent
to Snot and Lazy B. Colonization plans are also for Bonn, upon refueling
of Raven II, the only scout in the region.
Two Minelayers separate from New Worlds. As Intruders, they set course to
construct a minefield in the northern region.
Electronics-6 achieved. Chameleon Scanner, Scoper 220 Scanner both developed.
Shadow Avengers, two Shadow Destroyers (the first), attempt to knock down
a House Cat colony ship. The warships intercepted #3 at (1485, 1165). Shadow
Avengers have been giving chase for some time now.
Destroyers report colony ship has Fuel Mizer engine. IT believes this to
be evidence of a 'Improved Fuel Efficiency' lesser racial trait for the
House Cats.
Silicanoid Mini-Colony #6 on expected course deep into Quad V. Possible
destinations: Boolean in 2 years, Yeager in 6 years.
Silicanoid small freighter and mini-miner observed headed for Joffre. Possible
mining operation?
There are vague reports from the Network that Silicanoids have found an
Insectoid world. No specifics have been uncovered.
It is possible that Silicanoids stretch out as far as Liver-Lycra cluster.
2428
A system malfunction shutdown the empire's interface. Emergency AI activated
for year.
Cargo Ship Interceptor caught the mineral pack bound for Strauss. 36kT of
Ironium captured. Estimated 1000 lives saved.
Schwiiing colonized.
Troops land on Y-Has. Planet captured by our forces. House Cat colony destroyed.
Only approximately 360,000 out of the 420,000 survived.
Snots colonized.
2429
Silicanoid Destroyer #4 stopped just beyond border. Stopped at Y:1265, it
is two points south of Harding. However, their colony Arcade is two points
below that, at Y:1263. To compensate for this problem, the Shadow Council
has decided to make the space between the border and Arcade, Y:1267 to Y:1263,
the Nuetral Zone. A message has been sent to inform the Silicanoids of their
violation and the creation of the Zone.
Propulsion-4 achieved.
2430
Weapon-4 achieved.
Cat Bombers wipe out the House Cat infestation on Scorpius.
Skink colonized.
Troops land on Diamond. Soldiers are able to defeat the felines and take
the planet. 114,000 out of 135,000 survive.
Wreckage discovered at Diamond boosts Propulsion research.
Propulsion-5 achieved. Daddy Long Legs 7, Gravity +/- 7.
House Cat infestation discovered on Venus.
First minefield completed at (1700, 1264).
2nd Silicanoid violation of the Pact of 2424. Silicanoid Frigate #13 stepped
over into the Nuetral Zone at (1546, 1266). It is apparent that she was
pursuing a House Cat colony ship.
Silicanoids send response, apologizing for the violation(s), saying that
the ship(s) were chasing colony ships and forgot to adhere to the border.
They accept the Nuetral Zone, but reserve the right to send ANY ships to
Arcade.
2431
Cat Bombers destroy House Cat infestation on Continental.
Construction-5 achieved. Stargate 100/250.
A major violation of the Pact of 2424. Silicanoid Frigate #13, cited for
violation in 2430, did NOT break off pursuit, and continues deeper into
our space. Unfortunately, there are no warships in the region to deal with
the intrusion. Ship currently at (1529, 1234).
Message received from Silicanoids. It reads:
From: The Silicanoids
To: The Nucleotids
Vile Scum your treaty is now null and void, you have wiped out all the population of one of our planets. We hereby revoke the treaty that was pass about the border. We do not declare war but however now we do not follow the rules of the treaty. And if any action is taken upon us we will respond in deadly force.
Order of Earthshire
The Pact of 2424 is null and void.
A demand is sent to the Silicanoids to withdraw the warship, and a stiff
response, stating any more incursions would be considered hostile acts.
The Council also sent a formal message, apologizing for the bombing and
taking responsibility for it. They also requested that the Order of Earthshire
reconsider their hostile response and respect Nucleotid space. Withdrawal
of Frigate #13 was insisted.
Past investigation assumes the colony on Scorpius, destroyed in 2430, was
NOT House Cat but Silicanoid.
With the deterioration of relations with the Silicanoids, IT decided to
take an initiative. A beacon message is sent to the Insectoids, requesting
the creation of a formal dialogue. (Which will hopefully lead to an exchange
of information)
Intruders begin construction of minefield in region beyond wormhole (now
known as the Jump Worlds: Diamond, Lazy B, Bonn, Snot, etc.)
Update on H.C. colony ship destinations: Cherry, Who, Terrace, Emperium

Message from Insectoids, stating formal contact is possible, but they require
more information.
To: The Nucleotids
From: The Insectoids.
Your message has been received.
Formal contact is possible, however, we need more information about you
and your race. How are you aware of the Brood, but unknown to the Brood?
We await your reply.
ALL HAIL THE QUEEN.
Transport Interceptor makes it through Dwarf Wormhole, arriving in the Jump
Worlds. Depositing colonists to Snot and Diamond.
IT sent another message to the Insectoids, requesting information on the
House Cats. The communication link is kept secret from the Council.

2435
H. C. colony found on Skunk.
H. C. colonize Continental.
Distant Raven discovered Insectoid colony on world of Kline.
Construction-6 achieved. Frigate-class, B-17, Strobnium armor.
Planetary scanner built on Candy Corn.
Defense posts built on Candy Corn, Stove Top, Hindsight, Y-Has.
Dwarf Wormhole made a dramatic shift. The end on the Jump World side has
moved ~345 L. Y., to become rock solid at (1700, 1271) 40.61 L. Y. SE of
Y-Has. This position places it directly inside our first minefield.
The new position of Dwarf Wormhole cuts off the Jump Worlds completely.
The closest route is from Diamond to Schwiiing, approximately 305 L. Y.,
which would be a 9 year transit at Warp 6 and runs right between Silicanoid
Prime Space and the House Cat homeworlds. Med. Transports Jump Troopship
and Interceptor have been stranded. Interceptor has changed orders, dropping
all colonists on Diamond instead of dividing it between it and Snot.
10 Insectoid mini-bombers observed leaving Lafayette, heading at Warp 6
to Armonk. They are expected to arrive in 2437, destroying the H. C. infestation
there.
Insectoid destroyers have intercepted a HCCS heading for Emperium Gate.
Insectoid Scout seen leaving Silicanoid Prime Space, heading for Scotty.

but wish to know just how we can be an effective ally. IT ponders a proper
response.
H. C. Privateers seen heading for Io.
HCCS heading for Springfield, just N of Bonn in the Jump Worlds region.
Silicanoid Frigate #2 detected heading for Harding. Arrival in 2436

our mining stations). Will reach the Philistia system in two years. Defender
warships sent to intercept.
New Scout-class ships built. Jump 7 engines, Fuel Tank, Chameleon Scanner.
2436
New Fighter-class ship built. Scout hull with Warp 7, Beta Torp, and Chameleon
Scanner.
Shadow Transport class retired. One ship deleted.
New Brimstone(2)-class bomber built. B-17 hull with Warp 7 engines and a
payload of 6 Black Cat bombs.
Scout #24 makes successful travel through Stargate from Strauss to Hindsight.
First ever.
Troops raid the House Cats on Canis Major. 18,800 of the 21,000 survive
the attack to take control of the planet. Cargo Ship #31, the Cargo Ship
that transported them, will be dismantled next year for minerals to be used
by the new colony.
On a scouting mission for IT, Watchman-class Patrolman skimmed the edge
of Silicanoid Prime Space in the SW region. It discovered:
Silicanoid colony on Dunsany. Population: +/- 19,600.
Silicanoid colony on Johnson. Population +/- 9,600.
Silicanoid colony on Joffre. Population +/- 2,800.
All colonies appear to have no defenses.
Parsley, the only other planet in the cluster, was out of range at this
time. Patrolman should be in range next year.
Refuel Depot collects salvage just off of Strauss. 19kT Ironium, 2kT Boranium,
4kT Germanium were recovered. The salvage is the remnants of a pair of Kitty
Slayer class warships that decided to scrap themselves before returning
to Strauss where the dismantling was to take place.
Scanning records for the last year, IT has developed a theory that it is
possible that the Silicanoids are using cloaking devices in a few of their
ships. It is very likely that they have developed one. Scanning patterns
have indicated that some Silicanoid ships have been spotted only within
65% of the effective range of scanners. This is consistent with the use
of cloaking technology, which they may have an up to 35% cloak.
IT responds to Insectoid Queen. They offer information on House Cats, but
want something in return, most likely some warships.
2437
A variety of ships are dismantled at various locations. Warships at Schwiiing
are taken apart in the Navy's Master Upgrade Plan. A transport is dismantled
at Canis Major for the same reason, and to give the new colony minerals
to start with.
Propulsion-6 achieved. Radiating Hydro-Ram Scoop engine.
With the invention of a ram scoop engine, plans to upgrade cargo freighters
and mining robots can begin. The plan is to replace all mining robots, and
transports involved, with self-fueling ram scoop engines. This will allow
outer colonies (which have no space dock to refuel at) to use mining operations
in their clusters.
Four Defender-class destroyers intercepted a HCCS. They eliminated it as
it entered orbit around Philistia. The destroyers are a patrol group known
as Defense Squad.
Hound Squad, a group of ten mini-bombers, assaulted the House Cats on Venus.
3,000 were killed in the bombing sweep, but the colony still survives. Hound
Squad will conduct another sweep, which should eliminate the infestation.
Troops raid House Cats on Bonn. 5,400 of the original 10,000 begin to build
a colony there.
Distant Raven discovers a Silicanoid colony on Lycra. +/- 2800.
Patrolman discovers a Silicanoid base (?) on Parsley. Population is +/-
100,400. It also gives new calculations on previous scans.
+/- 26,400 on Dunsany
+/- 12,000 on Johnson
+/- 3,600 on Joffre
Patrolman scans also discover that penetrating scanners can detect fleets
in orbit. A Silicanoid destroyer and a HCCS were spotted in orbit around
Joffre.
A House Cat mineral packet is bound for Canis Major. The 62kT of Boranium
is scheduled to hit in either 2444 or 2445. Calculations indicate the packet
will kill 800-2500 colonists if it hits.
House Cat infestations found on Wagner and Scorpius. Both were suspected.
2438
Terraforming on Hindsight decreases Radiation to 80mR.
Defense Squad downs another HCCS, at (1503, 1226).

The starbase at Stove Top builds the first frigate. The Vengeance-class,
this torpedo warship has a Chameleon scanner, 3 Beta torps, Carbonic Armor,
and the new Radiating Hydro-Ram Scoop. A small group of these are being
sent as escorts for the military operation on the House Cat world of Loki.
Terraforming on Y-Has increases Temperature to -44C.
Construction-7 achieved. Robo-Maxi-Miner, Super-Fuel Xport.
Troops attack the House Cats at Scorpius. Only 8,600 of the 10,000 strong
force survived.
Silicanoid colony detected on Mungle. The population lists as 382,800. A
starbase orbits the planet. Planetary defences were detected, giving the
world about 27% coverage. IT believes this to be the Silicanoid homeworld.
Silicanoids detected on Diddley. 335200 is the approximate guess. It also
contains a starbase.
Silicanoid colony found on Gasp. Population about 290,400 strong.
2440
Candy Corn upgrades Frontier Dock to Command Station. First ever starbase
upgrade. Command hopes the placement of a stargate in that zone will speed
up deployment of fleets.
Hindsight Terraforming brings Radiation to 76mR.
Y-Has Temperature increased to -36C.
Weapons-6 achieved. Yakimora Light Phaser.
Silicanoid colony found on Presley. Population registered at 75,600.
2441
Temperature on Candy Corn has been decreased to 8C by Terraforming.
Terraforming on Hindsight has reduced Radiation to 75mR and decreased the
Temperature to 16C.
Radiation on Y-Has has increased to 28mR.
"A mysterious trading vessel broadcasting a proposal has been detected
entering known space." The trade is 5000kT of minerals in exchange
for "technological assistance." The trader is traveling at Warp
10.
Raven I, which normally observes Loki from orbit, returns to that planet
from checking out the nearby planet of Wagner. It finds an enemy destroyer,
backed by the guns on a nearby orbital fort. The scoutship is able to evade
the attack. (First HC warship observed).

squadron, but no kills are made. They clash at (1626, 1318).
The first Self Miner mini miner class ship built. Radiating Hydro-Ram Scoop
with 2 Robo-Maxi-Miners. They are the first in a plan to upgrade mining
operations to self-fueling, more efficient units.
2446
4 Vengeance frigates and 7 Fighters converged on Loki. A battle ensues between
they and the HC destroyer and orbital fort. The force is able to dispose
of the destroyer with ease. The orbital fort is more difficult. The Fighters
are able to divert attention away from the frigates, at their own cost.
All Fighters are destroyed. The orbital fort takes 62% damage before the
frigates withdraw. The four frigates survive.
The HC destroyer following the Cat Bombers reaches Schwiiing. The warship
destroys a Cargo Ship, which was to be used in the landing of troops onto
