DrenginXenoExpoltation_Dec
“Colonization is not a vacation! Who told the slavelings that? These lazy currs[curs] need something to do and a place to do it.”
DrenginSlavePits_Dec
“Both our Manufacturing and Reseach[Research] facilities have been going through slavelings at an alarming rate. They require us to build slave pits to make more slavelings for shovelling[shoveling] into the fires of progress.”
DrenginResearchOptimization3_Name
“Creative Resourses[Resources]”
DrenginResearchOptimization3_ShortDec
“Who needs test subjects, when you have reseachers[researchers]?”
DrenginResearchOptimization3_Dec
“By making our least effective research slavelings into test subjects, we wncourage[encourage] better research and also save an awful lot of money on test subjects.”
DrenginTechnologicalFocus2_Name
“Aggressive Reseachers[Researchers]”
DrenginSlaveringRecycling_Dec
“Slave meat ia[is] a delicacy, and we're certainly not going to start sharing it with them. But the parts of the slaveling that we don't use can be turned into a nutritious and flavorful paste they can add to their own meals.”
DrenginColonizationFocus1_Dec
“DISABLED IN BETA 1 - Our experience forcing the slavelings to breathe water has resulted in many dead slavelings, but finally, with the help of some aggressive suregery[surgery], a few got the hang of it.”
Terraforming - shouldn't it be Drengiforming?
DrenginInterstellarSpecialization3_Dec
“It's always about air and food with these mewling space travellers[travelers]. Always they need more of it. We shall teach them how to get by with less.”
DrenginStellarFieldProjection_Dec
“We can now apply our most powerful hyperfields to friendly ships, forcing even the most primitive of them to travel at great speeds. Buckle up you lazy currs[curs].”
DrenginEnergyFieldFocus3_Dec
“We have discovered that the research slavelings have been purposefully making our sensors inefficent[inefficient], so that they can later make the sensors lighter and themselves look good. This is clever, and shall be rewarded with a clever punishment.”
DrenginTargetingAssist_Dec
“DISABLED IN BETA 1 - Our ships were not slaughtering as much as they should have, so we have made enhanced tactical targetting[targeting] systems. At the same time, they were being slaughtered more than they should so we made a system which confuses enemy sensors.”
DrenginGalacticGuide_Dec
“DISABLED IN BETA 1 - With the right role book, any crew can be taught how to do a interstater[interstellar] survey without dieing, well, most crews can.”
DrenginPromethionSupportSystems_Dec
“The Promethian[Promethion] Support System extends our support field methodology to its logical conclusion, and now pipes nutrients directly into our crews' necks.”
DrenginExplorationExtention_Dec
“We can now generate Promethian[Promethion] support fields in crews' necks at a great distance, allowing our fleet-support vessals[vessels] to do most of the work. And our starbase life support extension modules can now fire sludge probes further than ever before.”
DrenginOrbitalSpecialization1_ShortDec
“Force our Starports[Shipyards] to work better.”
DrenginZeroGravityOptimization3_Name
“Starport[Shipyard] Efficacy”
DrenginZeroGravityOptimization3_Dec
“It's so much harder to threaten a slaveling when that slaveling has a powerful cutting torch. But we've found a way, and now our starports[shipyards] will be just a little bit more efficient at making ships.”
DrenginInterstellarLogistics_Dec
“Logisitics[Logistics] is so boring. We would make it a punishment, but if the people who do it are idiots then everything is made worse. So we put the most boring slavelings in charge of it. That seems to work.”
DrenginLogisticalOptimization3_Name
“Sustainable Starports[Shipyards]”
DrenginLogisticalOptimization3_ShortDec
“Forces starports[shipyards] to decay less.”
DrenginLogisticalOptimization3_Dec
“Starports[Shipyards] don't just stay there being starports[shipyards]. They're always breaking down, which is crap. We put some boring slavelings in charge of making that not happen, which seems to have helped a bit.”
DrenginDeepSpaceLogistics_Dec
“Now that we know how good logisitics[logistics] is at letting us dominate things, our logistics slavelings are celebrated throughout our culture. All compete for the honor of whipping them to logistic better.”
DrenginWeaponsSpecializationTech1_Dec
“Beam weapons are great, and we're going to be making alot[a lot] of them, so they'd better get cheaper.”
DrenginDoomRayTech_Dec
“The research slavelings are beginning to frighten us. Doom Rays are even more powerful than the phasers they're based on, capable of annihalating[annihilating] non-trivial parts of the universe."
DrenginNightmareTorpedoTech_Dec
“The research slavelings may have gone a litle[little] far this time. Missiles that contain small singularities? Yikes. Still, let's fire a few off at some weaklings just to see if they work.”
DrenginKineticOptimization1_Name
“Kinetic Range Extention[Extension]”
DrenginKineticOptimization1_Dec
“The research slavelings have found a way to extend the range of our kinetic weapons using smaller projectiles, bigger magnets, and tricksy[tricky] math.”
DrenginKineticOptimization2_Dec
“The slavelings responsible for making weapons have found a way to make electromagents[electromagnets] without getting crushed by the electromagnets. We go through far less slavelings while making them now.”
DrenginKineticMastery1_Dec
“We recentlly[recently] discovered that the weapons manufacturing slavelings were working slowly because working around massive electromagnets was dangerous and they wanted to live. We've put a stop to that.”
DrenginInvasionOptimization2_Dec
“DISABLED IN BETA 1 - Information warfare lacks a certain visceral appeal, but by using EMP's[EMPs] and targetted[targeted] hacking attacks, we can cripple an enemy's coordination abilities, dramatically limiting the effectiveness of their defenses. If they want to keep fighting after that, then it can get visceral.”
DrenginDefensiveFocus3_Name
“Orbital Defence[Defense] Platform”
DrenginShieldOptimization1_Name
“Shield Enhancment[Enhancement]”
DrenginShieldMastery2_Dec
“Our shields are now as light as they will ever be accoding[according] to the research slavelings. They say that kind of thing a lot, but always change their mind after more whipping. We shall proceed as per normal then.”
DrenginDroneSentrySystems_Dec
“We've tried installing our point defense systems on drones. Athough[Although] it feels bad giving guns to a drone, at least they can do all their shooting and exploding at a safe distance from our ships.”
DrenginDiplomaticSpecialization1_Name
“Diplomatic Resoning[Reasoning]”
DrenginInterstellarGovernance_ShortDec
“Allows use of Steller[Stellar] Empire form of government.”
DrenginInterstellarGovernance_Dec
“DISABLED IN BETA 1 - Governing a civilization whose distant outposts are many weeks of travel away isn't a new challenge for us, parallaling[paralleling] our experience exploring our own world hundreds of years ago. But it's a field we're having to refamiliarize ourselves with pretty quickly, before we get any space tea dumped in one of our harbors.”
DrenginInterstellarDemocracyTech_Dec
“DISABLED IN BETA 1 - A system which lets people pick their own rulers, or at least think they're picking their own rulers, has been one of the crowning achievments[achievements] of political theory. Adapting it to a galaxy-spanning civilization has posed a number of challenges - the campaign trail is now rather long - but the increase in public satisfaction and market certainty will certainly be worth it.”
DrenginPoliticalMastery2_Dec
“DISABLED IN BETA 1 - Pacifist governments forego[forgo] the language of aggression and militarization, and focus all their efforts on promoting culture and social welfare. This makes them well liked in the galactic community, and their words travel far.”
DrenginCulturalInfluence_Dec
“Making people happy is distasteful, but it's also sadly a sometimes neccessary[necessary] aspect of empire building.”
DrenginCulturalAssimilation_Dec
“DISABLED IN BETA 1 - We've long since encorporated[incorporated] all the worthy ideas of other cultures into our own, and can now safely say that they serve no purpose other than muddying the waters. By quickly assimilating and removing the cultural trappings of new arrivals, and even those just trying to pass through, we can increase the penetration and acceptance of our culture more still.”
DrenginTradeOptimization2_Dec
“DISABLED IN BETA 1 - By targetting[targeting] places where our culture has already spread, to sell them the dolls, clothing, and intoxicating beverages that make our people what they are, we can create some very profitable trade routes.”
DrenginTradeMastery1_Dec
“DISABLED IN BETA 1 - Our trading prowress[prowess] has enabled us to open up markets for the rarest of goods, objects so valuable that most societies normally horde them for themselves.”

DrenginWondersoftheGalaxy_Dec
“DISABLED IN BETA 1 - The galactic community is beginning to realize just how awesome we are, and if they aren't, we'll soon be airing targetted[targeted] advertisements which tell them to. The expected increase in tourism revenue is anticipated to be very nice indeed.”
DrenginIndustrialSpecialization_Name

DrenginConstructionOptimization_Name
“Labor Mangment[Management]”
DrenginConstructionOptimization_Dec
“Things we can do to our slaves to increse[increase] there[their] uefullness[usefulness][.]”
DrenginTechnologicalFocus_Dec
“Getting the most out of your reseachers[researchers] is an art, just not one that they like much.”
DrenginResearchMastery_Name
“ResearchMastery[Research Mastery]”
DrenginWeaponsSpecialization_Dec
“By dedicating their efforts on a specific field of weapons technology, our researchers believe they can deliver a number of more effiicent[efficient] weapon systems.”
DrenginKineticAccelerationFocus_Dec
“Recent advances in superconducting technology should lead to improvements in the critical energy delivery systems of our kinetic weapons.c”
DrenginKineticMastery_Dec
“After several generations of whipping things at other things as fast as possible, our scientists are now really quite goood[good] at it. There remain but a few small efficiencies to wring out of the field.”
DrenginInvasionOptimization_Dec
“Good news! We've developed some new, possibly ammoral[amoral], but certainly effective techniques for pacifying enemy ground forces.”
DrenginDefensiveFocus_Dec
“Our military theoricians[theoreticians] have analyzed reports of the latest invasion tactics in use in the galaxy and come up with a number of elegant ways to counter them.”
DrenginDefensiveSpecialization_Dec
"Tasked with improving the survivability of our naval officers in combat situations, our engineer's first solution: "Don't enter combat situations,[.]" was less than helpful. So, after studying the wreckage of a few vessels we've lost in combat, they've come up with a number of possible improvements we can make in our defensive technologies."
DrenginPoliticalMastery_Dec
“Coordinating the activities and direction of an entire galaxy-wide civilization is tremendously dificult[difficult]. There's just so many damned people. But thanks to advances in deceit and brain injection technology, we can now put this whole show entirely on a war footing, or, if we choose, the exact opposite.”
