I wouldn't do it @Bertie Wooster , Pollux is better. Keep that one for yourself. Less of a garrison, too. . .

Pollux will be Talon otherwise, due to proximity to fleet and Talon space.

Else, would not be offered.

Additionally: 10 hostile GF present on each world, credit value similar.

Better lifestar for DPRP.

More lifestars for 23rd.

Desired borders for Talon at cost of claim to lifestar.

Symbiotic offering.

Caveat: Talon Z-95 remians over Pollux. Claws sheathed.

Sorry, GNIPs.

No use for information if you don't act on it. 😉

Pollux, though blockaded, remains infested by the Guardians, correct?

Organism Wooster, what say you?

If I understand correctly, I leave, say, Myris Alpha to you and instead invade Pollux?
