[quote=@Skylar] They were meant to be deliberately lost. They were last-ditch holdout colonies meant to escape the seemingly apocalyptic war the Meknik's were in to form bastions and fleet bases to continue the war outside of the Meknik local cluster. Unfortunately, the war never went to the extreme the Meknik's thought it would, and a lot of their documentation and ultra-secure comm systems got blown up or destroyed to keep them out of enemy hands during the middle part of the Establishment War. So now they got 200+ colony missions unaccounted for, all of which were heavily armed and militarized. But yes, this is a major fuck-up the Meknik's are really regretting and are trying to clean up. Should make for interesting times when contact is made. [/quote] Oooh, gotcha. That makes some kind of sense I suppose, though it's still one hell of a fuck-up. So, I do have one question, like would these colonies have already all "hit dirt" as it were? And have already set up and began operations? Or would there still be some likely heading to their destination? Oh, and guess what [@Hael]. I finished my NS! Granted, I still gotta do my Explorer's sheet, but that shouldn't take too long. Huzzah!
