To whom it may concern [merchants],

We are in possession of Dedlanite and Berubian at Golem. We agree to your sale price of 20 credits for both.

You will find that the quality is most Excellent, surpassing that of our rivals. With updates we have made to industrial production, expect more to come.

Long live the Glory of the DPRP!

The GNIPians are selling Wisp's Exonium and Kallix's Cortheum to the Merchants.

Turn 5 Hyperpings reported at: Golem, Ignus, Oscil, Xykon, dsZ.

At Golem - a 56 point Task Force 23 fleet attacks 120 points of PDRPnarg.
Task force 23 roll 1 hit (1 Pelta C scarred)
PDRPNarg roll 0 hits and must retreat.

Golem is bombarded with no casualties reported. The planet is blockaded.

At Xykon - a 372 point GNIPian fleet attacks a 250 point Pingnam Guo fleet.
The Pingnam Guo roll 5 (!) hits (1 MC30S, 1 NebB destroyed).
The GNIPians roll 5 (!) hits (125 points of Pingnam Guo destroyed). GNIPia must retreat.

{The rules do not say what happens when there is a tie in the number of hits - I decided last turn (when something similar happened) that the attacker would be forced to retreat.}

At Oscil - The Matriarch Talon have bombarded the planet. 1 Trylon GF destroyed. The planet is blockaded.
