Apologize for the delay, folks. A little bit more chemistry and trigonometry and I'll be accepting the applications. Ca marche. I'll be sending you your info in PM's so look out. Reviewed the [b]Empire of Aurolius[/b] and it was accepted and info sent. I'll edit this as I review/accept/critique further applications. Just to reiterate some basic facts: -- Your people have explored their solar systems through the decades that space travel has existed. -- Your civilization is unaware of all other civilizations. -- Some of you will have other planets that can be inhabited in your system, others will have to make a jump to FTL and see what lies on the other side. -- While your civilization has identified other solar systems and can functionally jump to them, they would not be aware of any other civilizations. -- A map will be generated but not until at least 2 civilizations make contact with each other.
