The old regime is past. Those lackadaisical, slovenly fools did little that could be considered "leadership". However, long reaching decisions were made for them by both the military and academic institutions of our world. Progress was made, but was rudderless and foundered forward without a Captain. No more.
Behold...
The Alliance Navy Yard. A third generation orbital fabrication facility fully tooled and optimized for the construction of capital ships. Three weeks have passed since it's activation and already the clear outline of a new Type 76 Destroyer takes shape. Frames are welded into place that will soon provide the scaffold for the interior pressure hull.
Beyond...
Shipyards of earlier technology spark and flare in the distance as similar Destroyers are constructed. Soon they will be completed and join their brothers in lunar orbit where they will begin "Space Trial" operations. Already our moon has new craters from the proofing and demonstration of missiles, lasers, and even more exotic weapons.
Us...
Being of Terran ancestry, we are not well adapted to life in space. Our bones weaken, our muscles atrophy, our hearts enlarge and become weak and inefficient. Through innovation and relentlessness we overcome. We build our toroids, our spinning crew quarters our acceleration chambers. We adapt and shall overcome.
Our Children...
Our great colony ships, from which our unborn children will be seeded to distant stars. Millions of genetically perfect eggs, frozen among the stars. They will be a generation of humans raised and educated by the robotic care-takers that go with them.
To stay on one world is to court extinction. We will move out into our claimed worlds. And woe to those who interfere in our ambitions.
