The resent burst of events back home certainly delayed the progress. Civil wars, revolutions, mass death... but it passed. The wizards now held control of the Federation, and have, surprisingly, decided to continue, if not improve, some of the policies implemented by the previous government. Among them was this project, the Craftworld Project.
It kept developing even during the incidents. Thanks to the relative Independence of the organism in charge, the first phase of the project could be completed. Delayed by a span of a few years, yes, but completed nonetheless. Now, the wizards at motherland have sent overseers. Apparently, they *are* interested in the project, not just merely continuing what was previously started. I am starting to believe that they have important plans in mind, that include this project.
I should not care much, however. My duty is to keep this going, and I should be thankful that it is. Although these new overseers are, to be honest, quite annoying, with their strange monitoring magic, I must admit that these new abilities might happen to be useful for the future development of things around here. They tell me more is going to come. I shall wait for it then.

Phase 1 of the Craftworld Project had been completed. The central and main part of the superstructure, the so called Corpus, had now reached it's final mass. The sentient giga-mecanorganism, one hundred kilometers in diameter, grown around a massive skeletal structure of neutronia and embedded with powerful psy conductors, was now ready to be constructed upon.
The terrible events that struck Der Angst not long ago did had their repercussions on the Corpus system. Control of it was nearly lost, as it became crazed by the unusual situation. For moments, it almost seemed as if it was ready to run amok. Gladly, the new *management* brought in radical systems to control it. Now, held within the grasp of a magical incantation, it remains semi dormant, awake enough for it to be useful, but lethargic enough that it could be easily manipulated, and most of it's psychic powers suppressed.
Phase 2 was commencing. The rest of the superstructure would have to be done now. From the 100-km wide core, it would have to grow to reach the 1000-km size it was projected to. Parts of it were already under construction at the orbital docks of Chasma Dominia, in Mars, and in the construction sites of Muthmag, in the Asteroid Belt, and Barbagh, in the Kuiper Belt.
