Hi all,

It is year 253 in my new Hayasdan campaign and I'm finding myself in some trouble. I have played this faction a couple of times before in 0.80 and did well with my economy and expansion before CTDs ended those games.

This time I'm finding it to be more challenging. Here is the current situation:

Any thoughts on the best course of action here?
