-Pillar Olympus-

The exploration parties have now charted a basic outline of the pillar's coast, and have determined it to be roughly half the size of Ireland. Word is sent that the dry dock will arrive in a few hours, meaning that the superwarship sections guarding the port can be properly assembled. Biologists have already begun work on studying the native life, and the prefabricated laboratories have been installed. Mining operations on land have begun, but the richest deposits seem to be underwater. A fleet of lancer class battleships have begun moving east and northeast, looking for more pillars and possible landmass.

-Vent Gamma-

Three more freighters have arrived at the vent, and are unloading a cargo of 10 Prospector class mining vessels, an Endymion class battleship, 12 Pittshaven class submarines, 22 Ewe-11 class submarines, a Lord Pemberton class battleship, a second smaller dry dock, and 12 more cargo converted Challengers loaded with supplies for the colony.
