The Paths

Starting Amounts

Nothing! All paths will add up to the equivalent total.

Exploration Era

Exp-1) World Type

Terraformable World (go to Exp-4)

There is a finite number of garden worlds within easy reach of human starships, but many more marginal worlds that with a bit of work can become comfortable places to live.

Exp-4) Terraformable World

Fascinating Pharmaceuticals (+ 200 Wealth, +30 Pop, + 50 CIP)

Some worlds have biospheres that are not fully compatible with Earth-based biology but nonetheless have intriguing and valuable biomateriels.

Exp-6) Precursor Relics

Limited (+ 150 dust, + 5 SP)

Most worlds with complex biospheres were seeded in the distant past by the Precursors and now the ancient relics of their technologies lies locked in the rocks below.

Exp-7) Feral Drones

None (+ 60 population, + 100 Wealth)

Feral drones generally left G-type stars alone.

Exp-8) Posthuman Footsteps

Untouched (+20 SP, SP limit for options increased by +5)

I guess this was just a really boring star system.

Exp-9) Location

Routed (+ 10 SP)

Along a major arm.

Colonization Era

Col-1) Axis Of Colonization

Longshot (+2,500 military, + 100 PIP, + 100 CIP, + 20 SP, +5 to SP limit go to Col-6)

Specialists (+100 CIP)

Some colonies were very picky about their selection, bringing only the best

Local Events

Col-7A) Local Affairs

Quiet (+ 60 population, +100 Wealth, + 100 PIP, + 10 SP)

Nothing like happiness and prosperity to keep a government stable

Breakdown Era

Break-1) Economic Upsets

Reaganomics (+ 100 Wealth, - Debt)

Massive tax cutting is an effective way to stimulate the economy, though it can lead to skyrocketing debt if care is not taken to ensure a balanced budget.

Longshots

Break-6) Longshots, Isolated Again

War Era and Aftermath

Current Era

Cur-1) The Business of Government

Corporate Direction (+100 Wealth, +100 CIP, +100 Dust.)

Chaotic Events

These represent events that are difficult to predict in any form of historical pattern and are not tied to any specific sequence of events. Tentatively, any nation may chose one (just to keep things simple) to further customize their nation and represent particularly anomolous events in history.

Economic Progression (+ 100 CIP, - 100 PIP)

A natural progression seen time and time again, more educated nations move towards high-value, low-labour goods and import labour-intensive products from elsewhere.

Covert abilities

Rent-a-Cops (+2 Security, +30 SP, -2 Societal Closure)

Some people don't have anything to hide and few enemies who'd look for secrets anyhow. All they need is a night watchman.

Population ('>90%': x4 122pts)

While appearing just as beautiful as the genetic elites from Tetyis, the people of New Israel are made up of male and female gendered citizens. (Although this is propaganda at best, as any genetic elite will tell you while trying not to look to carefully at you.)
