CP9-J: Not to say that a defensive alliance should ever be referred to as "Just" a defensive alliance.

In order to facilitate the transaction between our parties we invite you at this juncture to consolidate your forces with ours.
We now offer you 8% of our stock in recompense.
Best Regards,

CP9-J: We understand that the Merry Marauders have been reduced to just their holdings on A1. While that certainly is a prize to be won, armed aggression in the A system would be unfortunate and while perhaps within the letter of our non-aggression treaty, certainly a violation of the spirit. Your presence of a large force on J certainly is already a destabilizing force.
[Angry wookie growling]
CP9-J: No, I will NOT tell him that. Anyway, if @Matt3412 will agree not to attack you from his position within A1, would you be content with a ceasefire between your respective factions?

CP9-J: Unfortunate. Are your logic circuits malfunctioning?
@FortyInRed the fleet is moving to B3, and has taken easy control of C2. Do you wish to keep C2, or are you fine with letting us have it? It is not a very valuable planet anyways.
Turn 14 hyperpings: A3, B3, E, G1, H1, H2, K2, L3, dsN, N3, Q, dsU, W, X2, X3, Y3.
GNIPian Combat Assembly Auresha attacks the Malarian Plague Group over H1. 332 points GNIPian (A) vs 351 points Malarian Brood (D) yields no advantage. An 8 is rolled. 66 Locust Drones are zapped. The GNIPians lose 2 Pelta Cs (one of which carried 3 GF, KIA) and are forced to retreat.
A 430 point URASC fleet assaults the 405 point Tactical Remnant Home Defense Fleet over B3. No advantage; a 2 is rolled. The Tactical Remnant loses 2 ISD2s, 2 TIE Fighter Squadrons and a Raider-1. No URASC casualties. B3 is blockaded and successfully invaded.
236 Locust Drones assault the URASC world of Y3 and destroy the TIE Fighter Squadron defending it. It is now infested (blockaded.)
A 266 point Gungan fleet assaults the ELE world of Xenophon 2. 48 points ELE forces defending is a 70% attacker's advantage. A 10 is rolled and converted to a 3. As the defending force is entirely squadron-based and incapable of retreat, it is entirely destroyed. No Gungan casualties; X2 is successfully invaded at the cost of 1 Gungan GF.
A 252 point Gungan fleet assaults the ELE world of Xenphon 3. The 44 point ELE force defending makes for a 70% attacker's advantage. A 4 is rolled and the entire ELE force is destroyed. No Gungan casualties; X3 is successfully invaded at the cost of 1 Gungan GF.
360 points of PL forces fry 11 locusts over Kanarii (K2) and occupy the planet.
1 Merry Crew TIE Fighter Squadron is destroyed by 60 points of PL forces over N3 as they reclaim the world for Proprietary Limited. No PL casualties.
Quantadox (Q) is now infested. 1 PL ground force lost.
Infested worlds: B1, B2, H1, Q, Y3.
The Merry Crew has blockaded Neetheen (N1) and succesfully invaded it with no casualties.
Turn 15 is now live; orders are due in 48 hours.
Awaiting orders from:
Processed: Bugs, Fortyinred, Bertie Wooster, BiggsIRL, idjmv, Matt3412, GNiPs, LTD.
Edited by The JabbawookieThe Tactical Remnant has been defeated.
URASC forces in action.
All jokes aside, @Drasnighta you were a worthy opponent. Until the next game.
@FortyInRed , we accomplished our mission. We have intercepted transmissions, and we are under threat. We will require assistance.
Noble Wookies - we do not wish to enter the A system. Those are your planets by right.
However, we must end the raids of the Merry Crew remnant.
We urge you to blockade or occupy A1 before we are obliged to do so ourselves.
Prosperity and research must cooperate. Chaos is bad for both of us.
Best Regards,
Proprietary Limited.
Query:
Will.
I.
Dream?

Please be aware that Proprietary Limited is not in a position this turn to reassert control of the planet Quantadox.
The planet itself is of no value - its starting credit value of 2 has now been entirely destroyed by the Malarian Brood.
We urge one of you to send a force to Quantadox this turn to eliminate the infestation.
{I suppose we are really urging the Wookies since the Gungans are not supposed to have a force in the non-existent planet of P.}
Best Regards.

We can't do it this turn either.
We are, however, fighting another kind of Evil on another front.

Again, thank you. You have done all the hard work here so we're glad to let you have your preference. I think it might be easiest to have you stay at C2 and I'll take a planet in B of your choosing. If you'd prefer to keep B all to yourself and cede C2, that's fine too.

We have shared peacefully the A system since our discovery of it. We find your people Acceptable neighbors, since unlike our only other encounter with a group of people was an IMMEDIATE AMBUSH OF OUR HOME SYSTEM. We would like to continue to coexist.

We will keep C2 and B3. That way we have a reliable route thru our systems.
We have come to understand the GAN have decided to attack us both, so we will be fighting. If you are able to, we could possibly need help of defending our territory. We will repay you in kind.
@LTD , @GhostofNobodyInParticular @Bertie Wooster , @BiggsIRL , @Matt3412 , @FortyInRed
Perhaps All of you wish to declare your current territorial holdings, ignoring any transfers that happen this turn?
I will start if you all so wish.
To what end?
We have previously indicated those areas that we consider our economic zone of influence.

I can send a small fleet your way with orders to surrender only to you. Shall I deliver it to Y1 or somewhere else?
We will likely need help in subsequent turns conquering the loathsome flop-ears.

Hmm. Y1 is acceptable. Thank you.

CP9-J: D1 is a Wookie colony, or at least it was until you illegally siezed it from us. We chose not to make a big deal out of it at the time, as giant bugs started popping out of hyperspace and slamming into everyone and everything.
[Frustrated Wookie yelling]
CP9-J: Do not mistake our delay in retaking what is ours for acceptance of current conditions. The larger threat still needs to be dealt with, but we will be back sooner rather than later.

CP9-J: Agreed, those that have been paying attention should know where not to tread.
Edited by BiggsIRLCP9-J: Unfortunately we are unable to do all the things we want to do, which involves defense of the "A" system and elimination of the Bug menace, among other things. We believe the bugs to be the highest priority for elimination, and defense of our current holdings to be of relatively equal weight.
[Confused Wookie howling]
CP9-J: Yes, yes, I am getting to that. We request from BOTH sides a moratorium on fighting for at least a turn, so that we can determine our best course of action with regards to the "A" question. As you may have noticed, 4 out of the 5 bug hideouts are currently within striking distance of our territory. This is concerning to us for exactly the reasons you would expect.
CP9-J: Bad Luck with bug hunting. I hope you find H2 to your liking. If you can hit H1 this turn, please feel free to hold on to my ship for another turn. If not, return to G1.
