The question is: Do we even know the current status of our embassy? Considering that things might've been rather hectic since the take over by the Deum Pugnum dudes we most probably have lost contact with the embassy and won't have any idea as to their current state...?

Additionally, given that the complete government of the NRI was wiped out on their homeplanet, one wonders who might be able to step in as a legitimate successor, aside from us of course - consindering we're assisting the elements of government left - and probably going to re-conquer the planet.

So lots of building things, and I think after this is when we get to integrate Calliope. $78m leftover, but given just how much more money we had to play with this turn vs last turn I'm wary to spend any more in case of projects running overly long.

Technically its 5 planets total now. 8 if we can convince the Romans to join the empire.

Griffins Roost.
Griffins IV
The DOME planet which will be habitable soon.
Nowa Warsawa,
Calliope
The roman's 3 planets if we can convince them to join our empire. Which I kind of doubt.

More likely than you might think, their government was completely gutted. After we put down the nutters we'd have probably already taken over supplying utilities in liberated areas. These assholes seem more interested in tearing shit down and killing everyone who keeps things going than actually doing anything productive.

... Did I say planet? Oops, meant system. Currently we have:

Griffon/Griffin (spellings vary)
-Griffin's Roost
-Nowy Gdansk
-Griffon IV (terraforming in progress)
-(Griffin II) (planet is not inhabitable, but orbitals are colonized)
-(Griffin Inner Asteroid Belt) (obviously not a planet, but is colonized)
New Sekigahara/Nowa Warszawa (system currently shares planet name, may receive it's own name at some point)
-Nowa Warzsawa

We're close to annexing, but haven't officially done so yet:
Calliope
-Calliope IV

If it's possible and we end up annexing them, the Romans, according to posts when we were just meeting them, have 2 systems and 5 planets (2 marginal). Though, with maps and operations it looks more like 3 systems currently, so not quite sure what the current setup is.

It's also not impossible we end up annexing the non-Rasalhague parts of former Drac space.

For Siriwan's faction, there's 2 systems, most likely one planet each.

For Dragon loayalists, one system that I'm pretty sure has only on planet.

For Kilborough (though we're far from taking it), one system and I'm pretty sure one planet.

Ah I love the smell of missile spam in the morning
Hmmmm we should probably next turn build some Royal Sovereigns and Langleys. I don't like how light our space forces are on ASFs if for nothing else because in a lot of fire support missions they would be a more flexible and precise tool than blasting stuff from orbit. And we are going to need some more command ships
