Now, the A.H.C. has colonies from one corner of the galaxy, to the other, having up to 12 colonized solar systems and 4 more are being planned. The A.H. population has grown, to 21 billion people across the systems. With an Empire so vast, the A.H.C. is becoming a big player in the alien theater, now that it seems after the fall of the alien Empire, all the enslaved nations went ahead to create their own nations. With our vastness, we are becoming a dominant nation in terms of trade, since because of the location of the chosen systems, we are right in the middle of a huge trade route, linking the Sagittarius Arm to the Preseus Arm. The A.H. economy is growing rapidly and it is quickly becoming the most diverse nation, with alien life, robotic life and humans working pecefully.
After 3 months, the first manned expedition to another galaxy will begin. 100 colony ships will head towards the Magelleanic Clouds, 50 towards the small cloud and 50 towards the large cloud. After that, we will finally have the right to call ourselves an inter-galactic Empire...

After some expeditions towards solar systems whos' locations and named are kept classified, NN has made a game changing discovery - super actinides. These are chemical elements with atomic numbers exceeding that of ununoctium. From what we hypothesized this could not possibly be super actinides as they would decay instantly and in fact never be formed in first place. But what NN scientists have understood from this is that elements with atomic numbers beyond element 118 will become more stable the larger the nucleus. Till this very day no scientist has been able to explain this...the super actinide elements found remain a secret, but we shall unveil our discoveries later. All I am going to say is that almost all of the super actinide metals are extremely reactive except a few allotropes and all super actinide non-metals are very innert.
Our navy is improving greatly. Instead of making a submarine which carries ships, we can develop a transformer technology which can convert a vessel between submarine and a battleship.
NN has created the first nano-chip to enable free access to knowledge and easy security. It is not perfect, unfortunately, as NN engineers are thinking up ways to prevent hacking into these chips and perhaps eliminate mental diseases.
The colonists set sail towards the Magelleanic Clouds and reach them by the end of the next 4 months. Now the A.H.C. claims both galxies as A.H. territory, no other nation is allowed there.
I only claimed them, I never reached them. Also, Jeez, that's a lots of galaxies?
36 galaxies + Andromeda.
Yup, that's a little too much don't you think? Also the Magellenic Clouds are small, dwarf Galaxies and Andromeda is... Bigger than the Milky Way.
Yeah, I think we should stay into the Milky Way for now.
I still claim the Clouds, but no forces will go there.
