![[1-6] Lets Play Sword of the Stars in 2019! [Human]
In light of the failed raid on the Morrigi, SolForce FleetCom has ordered studies to be conducted into new, powerful anti-missile technologies.
Wait, we dont have those in our tech tree. Shit.
Well, lets figure out if we can just slap some shit onto the hulls of our ships to make stuff bounce off them. Ive found even energy-heavy empires tend to spam mass drivers in the early game, since lets face it, what else is there?
I drastically underestimated armor techs, but now I dont anymore. [1-6] Lets Play Sword of the Stars in 2019! [Human]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/R8IdKs7w6rE/mqdefault.jpg)
![[SPECIAL] Lets Play Sword of the Stars in 2019! [Hivers]
I thought to myself, if Im having fun or struggling or soaking in dozens of hours into these off-screen runs, why not bring the screen in? If nothing else, its a bit of a sample. The first Hiver gameplay on the channel, but itll be far from the last.
Probably these will be one-offs of my games while the main series rumbles along, but well see. [SPECIAL] Lets Play Sword of the Stars in 2019! [Hivers]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RPxRwiwNDes/mqdefault.jpg)
![Rimworld Livestream - Starting with Nothing [8/20]
Our community has already endured untold suffering, and yet, were alive. And well keep struggling as long as possible, to build a place worthy of Korras legacy.
Because updating versions on saves is wonked as heck, were still on Alpha 14. But with mods, well. Since many updates seem like theyre just inspired by mods anyhow, I see almost no practical differences.

![[1-22] Lets Play Sword of the Stars in 2019! [Human]
Since the start of the campaign a century ago, the western front has been, for us, quiet. Our Liir allies have skirmished back and forth with the enemy, but it seemed like something we could ignore for a time, as we executed our Space Schlieffen Plan.
Those conditions no longer obtain. Weve wrapped up the Morrigi as an imperial force, but the insurgent Zuul persist, and require multiple cruiser fleets to suppress their rabid assault.
While in the west, the Tarka and Hiver juggernaught has finally arrived on our doorstep. Alone, the Liir are faltering across the front, and worlds burn.
They need everything we can send, right now, or were both doomed. Liir in the immediate, and humanity to a slow, crushing death march from the west. Our fates are tied together. [1-22] Lets Play Sword of the Stars in 2019! [Human]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RaLFPOlAB5Y/mqdefault.jpg)
![Factorio Livestream - The Beltless Challenge [9/11]
Alternate title: The Factory of Bad Ideas. No conveyor belts allowed. By the way, never do this, the game is legitimately not set up to maybe even work. This is more or less to test how far this idea can even go after seeing FKOD Gaming try a factory of arms.

My own challenge is a little less strict, as electrical inserters are permitted, but jesus.
This will go until I get frustrated and give up, thats the goal. Factorio Livestream - The Beltless Challenge [9/11]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SWlphB59MUY/mqdefault.jpg)
![[6] Lets Play the Last Federation [A New Hope]
Seven left.
Whatever happens, we have to continue pressing forward with our plans for a Federation, while suppressing the more aggressive races and keeping an eye out for trouble. If we lose another fight, and another whole solar year of time, the results may be just as disastrous.
However, tanking their public order is going to lead to spiraling rates of piracy, which must be handled by combat.... or sacrificing allied flagships. Or both.
We also look deeper into the requirements to begin a Federation, and ponder our options...

![[1-9] Lets Play Sword of the Stars in 2019! [Human]
Alright guys, time to launch an all-out offensive on the Morrigi homeworld. Just as soon as we get those extra cans of gas out the back... wait a second.
We packed the extra gas, didnt we?
Fuck. [1-9] Lets Play Sword of the Stars in 2019! [Human]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TfydSqIivc4/mqdefault.jpg)
![[1-2] Lets Play Sword of the Stars in 2020! [Liir]
Weve Explored, now were on to the next one, Expanding. Time to colonize far and wide, claim new oceans, and build up. Because weve just located our enemy, and now the only question is what to do about them.

![[2-7] Lets Play Sword of the Stars in 2020! [Hiver]
Its tempting to think if we were just faster, if we acted more, we could save the Tarkas border colonies. Even with our fusion engines, though, well barely be in time to shield their homeworld. There are whispers of even more powerful drives, but those are decades off.
All we can do is everything we can, and leave the rest for future historians and youtube commenters.

![[1-5] Lets Play Sword of the Stars in 2020! [Liir]
Finally, were out of the world of theory and development and building freighters and building freighters and building freighters and building freighters... just kidding. But we have enough to where I no longer need to care.
Its time to burn these rebel Liir out of the stars themselves, for the Empire is eternal and unyielding.
