uhh... hi... haven't been here for a while...

What am I here for? I dunno.

For a while, I've always thought to myself that I wouldn't come back unless I could finally get my new plans going and active. Well, I'm still bad at writing, but I wanted to get something done, and something going somewhere.

My first idea has always been to take my one and only empire that I've been doing and just work with that. Wars, international politics, pimped-out ships, etc.

The first thing has always been to establish a colony in one galaxy for each cluster. I've been thinking of expanding into the Mirus Galaxy first, somewhere along the Dimstar Outbacks or the Dyrsbridge (at least from what I saw on the map). In order to maintain the colonists all the way from the Milky Way, a loyal artificial intelligence was appointed as underseer of the mining and colonizing operations, but it would be excruciatingly slow and impractical to communicate from such a distance.

To accelerate their growth, several planets belonging to primitive or small & interstellar civilizations were targeted to be the core worlds for the colonists. Now, billions of workers and soldiers are active in the colonies, and the first sterilizer fleets have been mobilized.

I honestly don't know where I can go from this, but I'm curious as to how the other empires would react to, say:
 * The annexing of primitives
 * Possible border frictions (if it would cause any)
 * And being a potential threat or ally

Any thoughts? Ideas? I'm thrilled to get another jog at this again.
