*NEW* GOVBOT UPDATE
The GovBot is a Transplanetary League construct that serves two purposes:
It’s a sequence of tasks that a group of planetary pioneers can use to establish a township on a new planet, and;
It enables the tools that the government of that new township will need to maintain and grow the planet going forward.
Citizenship
Players may (optionally) become citizens of a specific planet. To do so, go to the GovBot on a planet, access the kiosk and choose to become a citizen there.
If you are already a citizen on another planet, you’ll have to renounce that citizenship first before you can become a citizen elsewhere.
You cannot access any other GovBot functionality until you become a citizen of that planet.
The First Mission
GovBots have levels, and they start at level 1. To move to the next level, the citizens of that planet must rally together to bring resources and Klaatu to the GovBot. Once they Deposit enough materials and currency in the GovBot, the mission will complete and new functionality will be unlocked for the township.
The first goal is to unlock a Missions Kiosk for the planet.
When the first mission is completed, the Mayor will be notified of the community’s success and the next mission will automatically begin.

PUBLIC LIVING ROADMAP
Today, we reveal our Stars Reach development roadmap. We built something more than just a timeline, but a living page!
You can click on individual cards for more information. Additionally, watch cards move between categories (forward and backward) as development progresses.
We want your feedback, so don’t be shy and let’s hear some typing on those keyboards!

MASSIVELYOP REMARKS ON RESEMBLANCE TO SWG
MassivelyOP warmly compared Stars Reach’s new government system to the original government system in Star Wars Galaxies. The commenters agreed with the writer on the strong resemblance to the cherished memories of SWG.
MASSIVELYOP SAYS WE’RE HAVING A HELLUVA WEEK!
They watched the new Servitors video by Stars Reach Lab. They checked out our living roadmap, comparing it to a Trello board, but might not have noticed that one can click on a tile and open it for more details.
They are right. We’re having a great week!
STARS REACH LAB: THE SERVITORS
The Lab series continues with a look at The Servitors.
The old ones left their garden of planets in the care of their faithful Servitors. They care for us, for our planets, and all the flora and fauna living on these worlds.
Endlessly polite, they may still schedule you for termination with the right motivation.
PLAYTEST SCHEDULE
Saturday’s Fireside Chat is our 50th Fireside Chat. Dave Georgeson will be joining Carneros to break down the new update and talk about our newly-posted development roadmap.
