Well done!
But as always I have constructive criticism. Maybe you could do something like mention the color or side difference in the birds every now and then, just to remind us of what the characters look like. Not any fault of yours, were just forgetful is all, especially at the beginning of a roleplay. 

Well done on the expositional, but not overly so, intro post!

Could you do a short plug about a GFUN ship heading to STC, from the third converted planet/decommissioned base.
