Istar to Claim portions of the Moon!
The Holy Empire of Istar announces plans to build colonies on both the moon and mars. The Lunar Colonies that are to be built have been on the drawing board for over five years and the Kingpriest is 100% confident that it this will be a glorious new step for the Holy Empire as it's creates new space for it's ever-growing population (now believed to be at over 598 Million). Ships have already been built (or purchased) and materials for the construction and everything the construction crews will need (the same with the construction-meks) are being sent up as we speak to the Moon (the launch of the ships is on at 11) within an estimated two years the first colonies will be fully operational. Now back to Sports.
Istar is rising!
~Mention on the I.N.N. (Istar News Network)
Year One Complete:
On the lunar surface in the Schmidt Crater rising several hundred feet high were giant cranes that had been designed for the lunar surface, a giant skeleton that was over 6 miles wide and several hundred feet tall rose from the crater like a shining promise, the shape of the future colony was evident from the Star-Pattern that was being made, construction crews (all in special designed suits for low-grav construction work) worked around the clock in shifts to complete the colony on the five-year schedule. Billions upon billions of Gold Falcons were being poured into the project and so far there were no screwups. Istar was rising.

We welcome you to the solar sytem.
We welcome you to the solar sytem.
OOC: Thanks and since no one is complaining about the way I am RPing this out I feel good about it so far.

OOC: That and there are already over 100 nations with colonies on Earth and Mars.
Year Two Complete:
The Schmidt Crater was different, the nine-pointed star shaped colony on the moon had over 50% of it's outer body complete, 5% of the colony was completely built and contained it's own breathable atmosphere that was kept pure by constant air purification. Large solar mirrors were already being set up for the power station that would supply the bulk of the colonies power. The construction meks were under the constant watch of their human crew bosses who now lived in the parts of the colony that were completed. Work on the permanent spaceport just outside of the colony had already begun. So far no bumps in the road, Istar was rising.
Year Three Complete:
The spaceport was completed by the construction meks just in time for the beginning of the third year, 10% of the colony was now capable of supporting human life and the entire outer covering of the colony was complete as well, work on the interior was just beginning. The first shuttles carrying the plant seeds needed for the future hydroponics were already on their way to the Nine-Pointed Colony, the human Supervisors had already nicknamed it, Mishakal's Star. Istar was rising.
