Not like you're going to use them on any of your friendly neighbors.
Build two fighters at Quaan by spending a Strategic Allocation.
TG/AC/PC: 0/1/0
SA/FS/CP: 1/3/1
Just take solace in the fact you're across the board from us, oh kindly neighbor.
I think you, sir, need to go back and reexamine your definition of "soonish."
- Terence McKenna
Soonish is sometime in the future when I am not so tired I doubt my thoughts.
Take a tactical action, activate Wellon system, Move in carrier from Torkan system carrying 2GFs and 2 fighters, move in 2 destroyers from Lodor. Land both GFs on Wellon to claim the planet.
TG/AC/PC:2/2/2
SA/FS/CP:2/4/1
It's currently the Jol-Nar's turn.

The Black Hole of Cygnus X-1
- Terence McKenna
Well maybe stever777 has to confer with himself! That's totally legit according to several movies I have seen.
Movies you say? Well then that totally changes the entire situation.
- Terence McKenna
Most of them involve Jim Carrey, so maybe?
Big Sausage Pizza now starring: Jim Carrey!
Man... that's a long way down in cinematic quality from his previous work.
- Terence McKenna
He fixes her cable?
Yin uses Warfare II primary to put the Darien system fleet on high alert!
- Terence McKenna
I PLAY the secondary ability, spending a Strategy Allocation Counter to move the dreadnought from Druaa to Bereg.

The Black Hole of Cygnus X-1
Pass on Warfare II secondary.
"53nd 0rd3r5 70 7h3 f1227. 7h3 7im3 h45 c0m3 f0r 4 5h0w 0f f0rc3 70 4553r7 0ur d0min4nc3 in 7h3 g414xy."
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!"
