Ten years have passed and this system seems to be a hub for habitat convoys to swing through. We even built a Lagrange habitat. We usually have at least one trader here all the time. About 4 years ago the government council put out that any convoy coming here was required to bring all the raw materials they could transport because we were rapidly depleting the resources within the star system. Earth II has a new industry now, it's tourism. They've become rich enough that they hired our habitat to build them two resource habitats and a dozen warships using the plans from the SFMDF.
However these warships have big cargo holds. Five have already been sent out to convoys as traders. One is being loaded as I write this entry to go to the HoM system. My eldest son qualified as an observer 2 years ago and also was selected as a crew member for this warship. He'll get a full copy of this family journal to continue.
