The Plumage of Cynn

[3rdMusketeer]

I will be playing as the Plumage of Cynn, a Peaceful Bureaucracy ([F]Pacifist, Xenophile), with the Asimov Beta 1.2 patch. Here's the Empire creation screen:

I will be playing on Hard difficulty, with AI Aggressiveness set to High. I have not played any Hard difficulty, and have only slightly dabbled in High aggressiveness games. This should be... Interesting, to say the least. Also, to make it more strategically interesting, I'm also going to play using Hyperplanes Only. Yay...

So... These are my starting leaders, and also my starting system. (I have the Task Window open for the Science Ship so that you can see the names of the celestial bodies if you want to.)
