This is a brief AAR of my first Federations playthough to check how the new mechanics work (all expansions but Federations). Since it's an account of a check-up playthough, the style will be laconic. Medium galaxy, 1.25 tech speed, 2400 victory year. Grand Admiral difficulty.
The Andari are a tolerant and democratic people with beautiful singing voices. However, despite their Planetary Parliament holding supreme power on the planet, there's a shadow council, unknown to the majority, which ensures that democracy doesn't get out of hand.
It was good news both to the Andari Planetary Parliament and to the Hidden Council to learn that valuable alloys can be found in nearby star meteorites. A program of mapping the surrounding space was introduced.
"Even in space, we can't escape disgusting, toxic sludge", Andari environmentalists mourned.
Although rival politicians made various demagogic promises, the Council clearly favored the expansionist policies of Chancellor den Lim, ensuring her re-election. Ex-governor Nome up Yal's attempt to launch a "Lock Corrupt Hema Up" campaign didn't achieve success.
Indeed, Hema was a master of political triangulation, keeping most factions of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party reasonably happy.
Most Andari sneered at the ridiculous idea that the universe, in some way, constitutes a virtual reality game. The parliamentarians were too busy passing bureaucratic legislation to care. Only the Hidden Council members took the idea seriously.
The Council had no problems using sinister gases to benefit the Andari Alliance.
Andari first contact with sapient life were the Tebadorans, located to the galactic southeast. They seemed to be a species with alike mindset. The obligatory exchange of ambassadors went well.
The Cevelli, located to the galactic east, looked suspiciously similar to the Andari. They even had similar climate preference. There were many hypothesis purporting to explain this mystery - convergent evolution, alien interference - yet none were successful.
The migration treaty signed with the Tebadorans (who, despite their outwardly reptilian nature, were used to cold mountainous air) allowed the Parliament to designate certain previously inhospitable planets are being slated for potential colonization.
Relations between the Andari and the Thebadorans were warm, indeed.
I never realized why people always complain about hostile neighbors all the time.
