Hi I am back from a long period of inactivity and I must say I am happy that there is a new faction trying to come out of the curtain of darkness that borders the Sirius Sector but I must say the Iridium stuff is original you'd better make your home sistem Omicron Lost that planet seems unhospitable but since your kind needs Iridium which is the next sistem it is great noone goes to that sistem anyways.
EDIT: Read a couple of comments above and I must say the ideea or another race that can enter humans is pretty dumb mostly because we already have the nomnoms
Maybe give them cloaked ships? that should even the scales and a new type of fuel that lasts longer(maybe find a way of "burning" argon/xenon for power? Moros has plenty) and even cloak a Bigger ship?(maybe like Battleship class which would not be available of course but they must have a way of moving to the Sector) or make a docking ring and have them stay on the planet?
Yes I do own a YT channel and no I don't have a gazilion subscribers or views but I may post stuff from time to time My YT account
