YAY
The AHC's program of 'humanizing' Europa is afoot! Some of the most skilled AH enigneers were placed with the task to pull Europa out of Jupiter's influence and into the Habitable Zone of the solar system, and they've done it! One one of Europa's hemaspheres, a large, 60 km wide area was designed to be a HUGE* rocket... made out of smaller rockets. Using the plasma-antimatter-nuclear hybrid engines, we plan to turn them on and let them burn for a while until we are out of Jupiter's orbit. Once we enter the Sun's influence, we will burn again for a while until we have an established orbit in the habitable zone. Yay. The whole first burn will have to last a good few weeks.
The AHC has finished building the space armada, which is now consisting of about 8 large frigates and nearly 100 small fighters. The small fighters were labeled 'musquito' fighters, because they are small and fast, but lack a weapon that can do lots of damage at once, but instead have one that does lots of damage over time, an ion beam that is built to release a stream of electrons so big it will over-charge all electronics in its path and ultimately destroy them, accompanied by 5 heat-seeking plasma torpedoes. The firgates are a thing of beauty and death at the same time. They are fast, yet well armoured and have lots of weapons, including: 3 torpedo launchers, each armed with 15 torpedoes; 2 plasma lasers and 2 ion beams. They are the shining jewel in the AH armada and can take head-on nearly anything.
The AHC creates a second city on Ceres, named Kyzmo.
*Like, REALLY BIG.
How the flipping heck are you going to move flipping Europa out of orbit? Even when using powerful antimatter-plasma-hybrid rocket boosters.
Thanks! :3
NSP Titan-1 has completed its mission and the first space carrier is built to be later launched all the way to Titan and colonize parts of it. The carrier will be called NSP Titan Carrier (surprisingly) and will carry 22 astronauts accompanied by a lot of building material, equipment and seeds!
Titan is the only moon with a dense atmosphere and surface liquid, including a mineral rich crust. It is definately the perfect moon to colonize in my opinion and WAAAAY too precious to sell to even the closest of close allies! It is almost as big as Ganymede.
NSP created RNN's first powerful space-fighter - the Panzerniboltum-96. It can travel MACH-8 above the atmosphere and is made of strong and light scandium-titanium-aluminium-antimony alloys, not forgetting it has been made into a drone to save space (using nano-tech, of course). RGTWs were attached to its rear, making it easy to vapourize enemy space-fighters in one stroke of lightning. It is easier to use RGTWs in space because the nano cells don't get affected by wind.
It also carries 2 swarm bombs (basically what you get when you mix a homing missile with a cluster bomb) which can surround enemy targets and blow them to bits from every angle. It is capable of being armed with 2 fusion lasers and a saber gun (which now is 10mm in caliber for more explosive wield).
Our DNM creation has been going well but scientists need much more power to crush it into actual DNM. Railguns have been installed on ODUs and Domanski-4, which means the projectile fired from a rail gun travels around MACH-9 due to lack of air resistance.

Says the guy that created degenerate neutron matter and then answered our questions by saying: Don't question my logic. WELL YOU SIR SHALL BE REPLIED TO WITH THE SAME QUOTE. Don't question my logic.
It has been done! Europa's orbit has been shifted enough to exit Jupiter's orbit and enter the Sun's one. We will have to wait until it reaches the place where it will begin its second burn, which will last about 1 whole month. Overall: about 1 year until we can shift Europa's orbit.
The A.H.C. creates the first ever 3D printer! It can print small materials currently and it will be used to create ammunition and such for our spaceships. With that, every single ship of the AH arsenal is eqquiped with a 45. gattling gun that has pretty much infinite ammo. The number of frigates is also increased to about 13.
Colonists continue their expansion in Afrika:
I'm more likely to make degenerate matter in my back garden (if I had one) than it is for you to move Europa out of Jupiter's field of gravity. I did give a reason - free energy and fusion lasers.
I was going to make 3D printers first! I should have made them when I first had the idea! >.<
RNN rapidly claims west and south Africa. They will be the main sources of minerals (as well as China and the middle east) until we get a good hold of Titan and its treasures. We descend down from Mongolia and north-west China to occupy the rest of it, also reaching down into Thailand and Malaysia. There are however still civilizations in China willing to oppose us. Fortunately, the enemy isn't as advanced as us at all and is expected to either fall or surrender after around 8 months, or we can solve the matter using pacifism instead.
NSP Titan Carrier's construction has been completed and the journey to civilize Titan will comence soon. NSP has also been considering colonizing Callisto.
Weeeeeeell... Shuddup. There's a reason I never specified the number of rockets used, ya know.
The A.H.C. has improved 3D printing technology and now they can be used to create other, more advanced materials. Using them, we can create spare-parts for space-ships, create equipment for our colonies without the need to ship them and do lots of other stuff we couldn't have done before. The possibilities are endless!
The frigates have been eqquiped with magnetic shields. They basically release a large magnetic field that can push incoming projectiles away from them and keep them safe. AH engineers begin work on another ship in the AH arsenal.
On Europa, in order to protect it from the many solar winds, the same techology used for magnetic shields was super-sized and placed on it. The new magnetic field will protect it from the solar winds just enough to keep the population safe.
The new orbital city is complete. Tartarus is currently being transported to Mars orbit, and will serve as Kydonia's factory, launching platform, weapons and communications array, deep space communications, and the QED Nexus. All communications done by QED come through here, and can be seen and heard.
Tartarus Comms Division picks up some strange readings from near the Oort cloud. There has been a massive magnetic pulse, and a swarm of neutrinos and gamma radiation have exploded outward from a single point. This seems to be similar to... my god...
Disaster Occurence
Aliens. Humanity has been sending out radio frequencies and transmissions for more than a century by now. A civilization was bound to have picked it up by now. Aliens are here.
At first the A.H.C. refused to believe the supposed evedince of 'aliens', however after further observation of the Oort Cloud, it is revealed that from a large concentration of heat-signitures radio signals are being sent. They have yet to be decoded, however, it is revealed that aliens are here. Since there are no known bodies in the Oort Cloud fiesable for colonization, it is clear that whoever is out there must be coming for us.
The A.H.C. proposes to the R.N.N. a plan to drain the Medditeranian Sea. On the RNN-controlled straight of Gibraltar will be built a huge dam and on the A.H.C.-controlled straight of Bosphorus and the Suez Canal will also have large dams built on them. With time the sea will drain and be turned into fertile farmland, housing millions of residents and thousands of kilometres of farms.
Europa is almost in the Habitable zone...
