Captains log.

We have arrived at the planet “STEX”. I have ordered a geosynchronous orbit above the region “Tweaked Map”. Our mission is to investigate the report of trespass upon our lands by local beings, known as the Kinos.

The major walks over to the command table. He gazes at the holographic images of the terrain below. His stoic face and intensity of his stare portray an image of an experienced soldier. His eyes move back across the map taking in every minute detail.

A chime sounds from the communications panel.

"Yes Sir"

"Major Crank. Report."

"Commander Spicoli.

Our Scanners indicate no indigenous peoples in the immediate area, but our sensors on the ground have confirmed they were in the area recently."

"This was not a false alarm. I have ordered the monitoring of all communications inside the nearest continents capitol. No doubt the source of these disturbances."

"Has the device been discovered?

"No sir."

"Commander.

We have intercepted a report to the emperors palace. It confirms our suspicions."

"Send it."

“Emperor Kiska,

The region is temperate and uninhabited by any indigenous peoples. The area has great resource wealth including timber, fish, and a fertile soil for farming. A geologic survey will be required to determine mineral wealth. The region is covered in lakes, heated springs, and rivers. It also has curious steep hills and cliffs along a large portion of its river banks. This place has no doubt had a turbulent geologic past. It is unknown if the area is still geologically active.

Lord Hurin“

"It would appear time has made these people brave. For 600 years these people headed the warnings not to enter this continent. It seems our previous effort to use fear to keep them away has failed."

"Our scans have shown the likely cause of their trespass is overpopulation. Their land has become short on resources and the population reproduces like stoned test bunnies.

From what Lord Hurin has reported, the timber reserves alone will give them enough reason to proceed with a colonization attempt."

Your orders have not changed Major Crank. Keep monitoring their progress and report back regularly.

"The emperor has ordered preparations to begin immediately."

"Upon the Emperors request Lord Hurin has recommended the initial landing be in the northeast. He identified an area that "“has a shallow harbor slightly protected from a shoal. The local ground is solid and the two brackish lakes nearby have potential for a deep water port in the future.” He named the place Tanglewood Springs. After the local forest and a nearby heated spring that is surrounded by cliffs. A truly magnificent place."

"The Fleet departs for Tanglewood!"

"The Kino ships are loaded with building supplies and 500 personnel."
