[b]Nikolien[/b]
As the alien fleet moved to jump out of the system, the [i]Terminator[/i] trailed them and fired a volley of antiproton fire. It was a token gesture of aggression, and none of the shots hit. When the enemy jumped out, the crews of each surviving ship cheered in celebration. Their first battle had ended in the retreat of the enemy, running from the combined power of the Lakfakalle Cooperative Federation and Equestrian Empire. Despite the loss of Lakfanikolien the system as a whole remained under Federation control, keeping the strategic point and solidifying the safety of Lakfakalle. The Federation fleet began to gather with the Equestrian fleet, and the [i]Terminator[/i] sent a message to them.

"The enemy has captured the wreckage of the LIV [i]Freidsmekalre[/i]. Their antiproton streamers were intact, the enemy now has access to that technology and is almost certainly reverse engineering it. If they begin mass producing antiproton streamers, they could overrun us in months. We have devices called nanobots, they are extremely expensive and usually only used for medical purposes. However, they can- er, could theoretically reproduce exponentially. If coded correctly, they could search through the entire galaxy for the enemy worlds. Once located, they could be... pacified." Said Kuuyi, devilishly grinning with the last sentence.

[b]Fighter Project[/b]
A squadron pf five prototype fighters have been completed. Testing has determined that the fighters are more than capable of victory against a vessel such as an LCF planetary defense ship. While that sounds impressive, planetary defense ships are only armed with a few coilguns, and most have been retrofitted into interplanetary cargo vessels. Due to the small fleet of the LCF and limited capabilities of said fleet, a message has been sent to the Equestrian Empire.

"This is Admiral Spoor of the Imperial Star Forces of the Lakfakalle Cooperative Federation. We have developed our first fighter class, and need to do trial runs. Needless to say, we can't afford to take a warship out of the fight for a few weeks for what is essentially large-scale LARPing, and we don't have anything else equipped with things like shields and armor. So we are requesting that you allow us to use one of your frigates for testing. It will be equipped with a system for simulating damage, and both the frigate and fighters will be firing blanks."

[b]Infrastructure Expansion[/b]
Instead of launching the parts into orbit and docking them, the LCF has decided to begin construction on an orbital refining and construction/combat complex (ORCCC). This station is planned to be modular, with a central command module and other specialized modules branching off from it. It will most certainly be armed with weapons, and is planned to be used as a multipurpose station. Core worlds such as Lakfakalle, Terra, and Shuroh, will likely have multiple of these instillations. Colonies will be provided with a core module, and the rest of the construction will be up to them. The project is being headed by an Abh Admiral named Sobarc, who is known for his work on the [i]Starfire Project[/i] and his obsession with space.

[b]Magic[/b]
The Delphans and Loroi have begun teaching the rest of the species how to use their magic, though the differences between magic energy and psychic energy have resulted in some rather humorous accidents. A message has been sent to the Equestrians, requesting assistance with the magic.
