    I just realized, no one can take the wormhole nexus away from Creuss?

  • SeGaTaiSeGaTai Registered User regular
    That was the idea actually, there might be an action card that allows someone to bypass that ability though.

    PSN SeGaTai
  • MrBlarneyMrBlarney Registered User regular
    That is correct. Under normal circumstances, no players save the Creuss may enter the Wormhole Nexus, so long as they have at least one ship there and Mallice is under their control.

    It's currently the Jol-Nar's turn.

    The L1z1x take a Tactical Action, spending 1 Command Counter, moving 1 Carrier with 3 Fighters 1 PDS 1 GF, 2 Dreadnoughts with 1 GF each, and a partridge in a pear tree from the Vega System into the Loki System.

    The L1z1x fleet receives their orders from 0.0.0. Instantly the fleet whirs to life, men running to man their battle stations.

    The L1z1x Admiral taps into the ships' PA system, "Prepare for combat jump! Arm the Assault Cannons!"
