Two consecutive victories
Earth Federation territory, New America Star
A beautiful planet with springlike weather year-round, it had been developed by Immigrant Ship No. 14 for hundreds of years.
By now, Immigrant Ship No. 14 had become a commemorative space museum. After all these years, the aging technology aboard the immigrant ship could only serve as a memorial.
Immigrant Ship No. 27 had also been away from Earth for more than nine hundred years, but throughout that time, it had spent most of its days struggling to survive. It clearly had neither the energy nor the conditions to develop its technology.

At a monitoring station on the edge of the New America System, a star system resembling the Solar System, several duty officers were playing cards and chatting when an alarm suddenly rang throughout the station.
As a newly established Fourth-Tier Civilization, although it had yet to develop a Warp Interference Device, its monitoring capabilities were already quite comprehensive.

Every potential opportunity to establish a trade route
