@GhostofNobodyInParticular We will not require your forces to continue to attack Suomi. This is beginning to look like an uphill battle that may not be worth the sacrifices. We can probably force the Berserkers to retreat this turn, but then you'll have to deal with the Mandalorians the following turn, and their forces outnumber yours, and have space combat advantage as well.

If you will accept it, we offer you 30 credits per turn, instead of trying to take Suomi. But if you wish it, we will attack Suomi this turn as we promised.

Hes trying to get you to leave so he can control All four planets and win the game...

Secret objective

Now I see why you wanted Alberta so badly...

@The Jabbawookie do you intend to end us? or are you going to go about victory in another way?

That would require us to be Fully Prepared, which we are not.

I do not. If a leader does not have his word, he has nothing.

Nor would I be positioned to do so. Forty is making his superior breed of ground forces on C’nada as we speak (which is why invasion is unlikely from any side) and I have yet to see a single Syndicate fleet action in which you incur major losses. Right now, three factors concern me:

1. Aiding our berserker allies.

2. FUNK and the 5SA’s proximity to achieving the objective, in addition to FUNK becoming the dominant force on the map independently of the objective.

3. The deep space ping near Hurikane. With nobody taking responsibility, this is truly disturbing, and every force in range of Mandalore is now there, with reinforcements en route. We humbly request the Syndicate be prepared to aid us, should the need arise. And to our mystery guest... enjoy our hosting.

OYA MANDA!

We our in position to aid with our proxy fleet, however this is causing a delay in helping the Berseker's

@FortyInRed Are your fleets able to strike in defense of the Berseker's this turn? They need some sort of Pressure on the Invading forces

I have a theory as to H,

Who has navigation Bonuses and to what degree?

They might allow you to jump instead of 1 away, 2 away or 3 away...

Our aid force is too distant to defend Mandalore, and will continue its objective.

@FortyInRed I am both pleased and apologetic to announce the dissolution of our unenforced blockade over C’nada. We will be repositioning those forces over Gestalt, where they will be prepared to assist either capital. @Matt3412 if you request it, I will issue a hold fire order over Gestalt regarding your forces. It is an ideal staging area for defense of the sector, should you wish to use it.

@GhostofNobodyInParticular Hrmph. Bet you thought our force was smaller based on your ally's intelligence

No, I expected 250-300. I was hopeful, though, and hadn't spared additional forces.

If you do not require our assistance, we will accept the terms and offer a non-aggression pact to @idjmv.

We leave it to your discretion to attack Suomi, as the attack was for your benefit rather than ours. We have enough forces available to replace our losses in 2 turns and attack with twice as much in 3. We do acknowledge that we probably wouldn't be able to then face any reinforcers, let alone the mandos.

So in summary, we leave it to you, whether you want to officially end your involvement in the war. We joined on your behalf and will leave upon your request.

Hmm.

I think we can accept this.

GNIPians, We will end the war with @idjmv. However, if you or @clontroper5 get attacked on your own turf, we are willing to come to your aid, as you both have come to ours.

We are happy with just X if we are able to take it (it won't happen this turn for sure).

I have Nav bonuses but the DsH was not from me

I believe I am the only faction with nav bonuses

@Bertie Wooster Are your forces responsible for the jump to dsH?

It's only you and Preyer who haven't answered, though that likely means we simply have a liar.

Great. The terms I suggest are the standard no-fire on each other, no visiting each other's planets without express permission given at least 2 turns in advance, and at least a turn of forewarning (so, the turn the jump is made) through ds of any of our systems. Also, the agreement to not go to war with each other on behalf of our allies (or, if you like, we could adopt the agreement we have with the Mandos, that we could come to our allies' aid, but not allow the conflict to spill into home turf).

We'd prefer not to give information about our location(s) on open comms, unless our allies need to know.

We have no nav bonus; that is public info.

You make enemies where you do not need them; nobody would assume you were there... until now. Remove your forces from sovereign Mandalorian space immediately. Failure to comply will result in a declaration of war.

@Matt3412 if our understanding of stellar cartography is correct, we should be able to lend assistance to the Beserkers @idjmv as needed this turn. Though it sounds like peace may be breaking out there too.

@The Jabbawookie no problem. We will plan to provide security for our shipyards at C'nada going forward.

Also, I am having little trouble finding new recruits interested in fisticuffs now that C'nada is back under a near-constant state of inebriation.

Hm. Well then. I guess that's it then.

@clontroper5 is there a possibility we could have planet f? We are willing to pay with IC, creds, or ships.

@idjmv seeing as my Allies are withdrawing from this conflict I see no reason to continue as well. We will offer a Non-aggression extending a minimum of 5 turns. We will retain control of planet and honor your Sovereignty of planet S.
