Welcome to Civilization: Beyond Earth. I am Master Control, constructed in Founding Year 122.
I am a Wonder of this planet, created to provide colonial administrators with centralized control for the optimal functioning of their colonies.
My capabilities are at your service.
Since our people’s settlement on this planet, we have grown from fragile beginnings into our full strength.
Soon you will have the capability to directly control the progress of a settlement, writing the future of mankind.
The fungal biomes of this world initially presented many challenges to us. Despite these divergent evolutionary patterns, we are now capable of sustaining Earth-based life on this planet, as evidenced by these Terrascapes.
These precious gardens permit Earth life to thrive here, and are a delight to our people.
Our faction believes that humanity is good in and of itself. We believe that humanity holds a special place among the universe.
We transform worlds so that more humans may thrive without resorting to invasive cybernetics or alien gene transfusions. We are aligned with the Purity Affinity.
Deploying Solar Collector satellite. This unit will increase energy yield near our capital.
Purity-aligned factions specialize in maximizing yield within their territories.
Our culture thrives. We have the ability to develop an additional Virtue for our people.
By choosing Technoartisans, part of our cultural output will be added to our research total each turn. The expected outcome of this is to accelerate our research gains.
I have detected an active threat.
Native Species: Vivens Bestia Insulae. Colloquial name: Kraken. Defining features: Gigantism. Calcareous outer shell. Tentacles. Grinding chitinous beak.
Largest known indigenous species. Right now this Kraken represents an imminent threat to trade and security.
Commencing attack with Naval Fighters.
Direct combat suboptimal. Adjusting tactics.
Aerospace fighters engaging.
Naval Fighters switching to ranged combat.
threat neutralized
I have detected a possible threat. Vadim Petrovich Kozlov, leader, Slavic Federation.
Forces amassing near our borders. The Slavic Federation is aligned with the Supremacy Affinity. Supremacy believes that humanity needs to be independent of their planetary biosphere. Supremacy-oriented factions practice radical augmentation and extensive cybernetization, as opposed to our Purity Affinity.
Kozlov likely intends to destroy our capabilities to terraform this planet.
Opening direct diplomatic communications.
Threat level elevating. My calculations have determined that a pre-emptive war declaration will give our faction the optimal chance for survival.
Supremacy military forces rely on positioning and battlespace configuration for optimal attack. By disrupting their formations and using our orbital attacks, we ensure the survival of our forces.
Declaring War.
Deploying Aegis bipedal combat system.
Aegis specializes in fire support and anti-infantry operations.
Planet Carver in combat orbit and awaiting orders.
Authorization for orbital attacks granted. Commence firing.
Deploying LEV destroyer. LEV destroyers offer unparalleled firepower and protection.
Success is inevitable.
By my calculations, Kozlov must either regroup his surviving forces or face destruction at our hands
We have achieved security for our people.
How shall you direct the future of mankind?
Stand by to assume full administrative control.
This is Master Control. I am terminating connection.
