A new research facility is being constructed on the Technoman south pole. It will allow for researching of Technoman geological history as well as several branches of research that require a cold environment.
Development of graphene computers to replace silicon and diamond has begun. CEO of TTI, Jan Andersen, believes this might give the company the much needed advantage over hardware giants such as Intel and AMD.
Planning has begun for the construction of some sort of regular public transport line between Earth and Technoma. This would allow for greater settlement of the planet as well as cheaper transport of resources and materials.

Re: Once More, With Feeling
NR-Hierarchy has developed a secondary form of FTL communication that works in a similar principle to warp drives, but operates in an area-broadcast fashion rather than point-to-point like hyperpulse transmissions. The signal range is purely limited by the size of the broadcasting unit. Tests are being finalized and NR-Hierarchy has announced the new technology to the Terran Union and promises full-scale production to commence very soon.
Secondary testing of the jump drive has also revealed the possibility of stationary jump drives between points, removing the need for drives in every ship, though the power requirements and necessary hardware means the technology to transport ships in such a fashion is 20 years away or more. However, it may be possible to utilize very small-scale devices to enhance production. An experimental facility to test this is under construction on Antioch.

The Nivanshae collective sends out several colony fleets to nearby habitable starsystems with the intent of expanding the collective.
Research sectors are looking into more efficient energy management systems.

Pre-Federation, before first contact.
Location: Bata Veil, soon-to-be Batiss Inner Sphere
Open military conflicts on Mundesh between Merek and Karth over nearby inhabitable worlds have drawn in Karesh and Butik. House Shihe and several of the minor nationstates (those which were formed by splits after innersphere colonization) have withdrawn from the Mundeshi war, leaving their territory and planetbound resources to the ever-growing United Mundesh and instead focusing on defense of their colonized territories.

Fleet S.A. is moving on from Tau Serpentis, having acquired enough material to begin production of naval assets.
Four squadrons (total 48) of fighter-bombers are being built; the Hawker Harlequin design may be sold to others in the future.

The Strigiforme government has begun construction of a new class of destroyers in response to their loss of the recent Strigo-Terran war. The Naval Command had no comment on possible militarist interpretations of this action by foreign powers.

Re: Once More, With Feeling
Production of the Warp-Communication Radio has commenced, and market analysts predict that the units will make Hyperpulse Beacons almost completely irrelevant in core worlds and systems in the Terran Union.
The experimental production facility is nearing completion.
A recently discovered habitable world has been claimed by NR-Hierarchy as a center of research, production, and worker populations. A small fleet of colony ships sponsored (and controlled) by NR-Hierarchy are en-route to the world.

Re: Once More, With Feeling
The colony fleets have arrived at their destinations and have begun counstruction of new hives. Of the seven planets being colonized two are volcanic worlds with thick atmospheres, Moon hives are being built while industrial settlements are being built to use the planets active lava flows. Three worlds are primarily ocean appropriate redesigns of the colony buildings are being made. The last two planets are equivalently [Terran] with >35% land mass covering the surface one planet contains no intelligent life and is being openly colonized. The other planet has a Industrial Age species living on it, The colonists for the time being are only colonizing the moon and waiting for further orders.

Twenty frigates are being retrofitted to carry drones and will make up the Expeditionary Fleet along with a couple support cruisers, some armed escorts, and a carrier flagship. The carrier will have fighter bays gutted and replaced with general-purpose landing bays.
Civilian exploration is being greatly encouraged, with large sums being offered to those who locate things of possible interest to the state.

Re: Once More, With Feeling
The experimental facility has been completed, and is thus far a resounding success. The very small-scale 'gates' are able to quickly transport material from the nearby mines to the facility, eliminating the need for intermediary transport and sorting to allow for an uninterrupted supply of goods. The distance in this case, however, is too short to save money and time in the long run, and the system will be tested to see whether it can reliably transport goods to orbit, and subsequently the nearby moon.
//Terran Union Market News\\
NR-Hierarchy stocks are up nearly 14% after the Warp Radio hit the market, providing a cheap alternative to the purely point-to-point Hyperpulse communication system developed by TechTron Industries. Stocks in TechTron have fallen by 8%, and analysts believe that most Hyperpulse communications will be replaced by Warp Radio in a matter of months, especially in the civilian sector.
In other news. NR-Hierarchy has begun constructing its own private Space Armada after losing critical installations to the Strigiforme during the war, installations the Terran Union refused to protect. NR-Hierarchy has also launched a lawsuit against the Terran Union government, stating that it "failed in its obligation to protect its citizens" by allowing NR-Hierarchy colonies to be destroyed without resistance. The government has not yet issued a response.

Re: Once More, With Feeling
After much deliberation: Yes, but in a different way.
For instance, they aren't networks anymore. Only isolated, desolate stations in some places or another. I'm going to tie them into the Kytherians.
But you're not going to stumble across an ARK station anytime soon. Oh no, there's only a few, far from any star, not visible on practically any sensor system, only visible through psionics due to a psionic flux emanating from them.
And they have a (more or less) sinister purpose.

Well, even I won't find the ARKs anytime soon either, gonna be more than a century until I can even consider developing flux scanners.

With the bulk of their fleet fitted for interstellar travel, the ME begins expanding to nearby systems.
One of the colonized planets already had much life on it, though no sentients. It has been named "Qanov" after an ancient Mobian god. This planet will recieve the most attention in the colonization effort and military assets are among the first structures being built.
