The Lascionian legislature has passed a bill authorizing the colonization of five new systems- three to the west, and two to the north. The three to the west stretch far enough to very nearly meet Adamnian territory, establishing viable trade routes with them and Ætherium for the first time. The two northern systems establish an additional buffer between our northern border and our capital, allowing us to protect it more effectively on the case of an attack. The legislation also includes a "Settlement Effort Zone" (Highlighted in lighter blue) which defines the goals of our next expansions over the coming years.
