The S.S. Sydney launches from Earth.

...Proxima Colony Established.

The S.S. Sydney arrives at Starbase Vermont which expands to include shipyards.



Game so far...
Player 1 has established a colony in the Proxima Centauri system and has salvaged some alien ruins to expand the colony. Proxima colony has one Yellow brick (diseases-infecting source).

Player 2 can now launch colony ships from Starbase Vermont and Earth. Starbase Vermont has an Alien-run Bar called Quarks, a medical Research facility, an Alien Diplomat, and a shipyards. Starbase Vermont has two yellow bricks (diseases-2 weeks quarantine departure delay).

How disease works: launching from/visiting these colonies delays the starship departure by a certain amount of time or infects the ship. For Proxima Colony its an uncontrolled source of the Proximan Flu. For Starbase Vermont its a source of Itchy Alien Palm Rash, and Alien Zombie Parasites. Fortunately the presence of the Medical research facility eliminates these with a two week quarantine (invalidating the advantage of being able to launch ships from a starbase located two weeks from Earth).

Stardate 2080.09
The S.S. Apache launches from Earth.
The S.S. Melbourne prepares to launch from Starbase Vermont (quarantine delays its departure by two weeks so it wont launch until 2080.11).
