Nekro discards five Action Cards (Skilled Retreat, Salvage, Morale Boost, Frontline Deployment, In the Silence of Space) and passes the Speaker token to Sol.
(Card text)
Skilled Retreat At the start of a combat round: Move all of your ships from the active system into an adjacent system that does not contain another player's ships; the space combat ends in a draw. Then, place a Command token from your reinforcements in that system.
Salvage After you win a space combat: Your opponent gives you all of his commodities.
Morale Boost At the start of a combat round: Apply +1 to the result of each of your units' combat rolls during this combat round.
Frontline Deployment Action: Place 3 infantry from your reinforcements on 1 planet you control.
In the Silence of Space After you activate a system: Choose 1 system. During this tactical action, your ships in the chosen system can move through systems that contain other player ships.
Naalu's Leadership Rider triggers, and Naalu gains three command counters to allocate.
Nekro's Galactic Threat triggers, and Nekro may choose a technology from Sol or Jol-Nar to gain.
Sol's transfer of 2 Trade Goods to Jol-Nar has been recorded for the second agenda; if anyone else has a transaction to resolve before we move on to the next round, now is the time to do so. Status update will be posted in about twenty-four hours, assuming that @38thDoe and @Phyphor have made their agenda result selections.
Hmm, well this is embarrassing. I didn't notice that Sol only had 1 Trade Good coming into the Status and Agenda phases (having spent a few on the Diplomacy secondary). So the Sol --> Jol-Nar Trade Good transfer makes less sense now. Since not much has happened since then, I think it's worth rolling things back to that point to figure out what kind of transaction terms are being re-offered between Sol and Jol-Nar and if any further changes are necessary. Due to the fact that Nekro's cards have been revealed, I think that the result will need to stand, but a different transaction will be necessary. Would transferring Sol's single Trade Good be enough? @Ketar, @MrBody, what are your opinions on the matter?
KetarCome on upstairswe're having a partyRegistered Userregular
I know it doesn't seem like much, but I don't like the idea of not getting that second TG. That said, I'm open to working things out somehow. Tell you what, if Sol chooses Politics as their Strategy we can call it even :P
Ok, seriously now, any ideas here MrBody? Anything you can offer that should be worth 1 TG (or something that would make me willing to forego both TG)? Something totally different?
Another alternative would be to roll back Sol's Warfare build so that they would have 2 Trade Goods available for transfer, but one fewer Fighter at Jord.
Another alternative would be to roll back Sol's Warfare build so that they would have 2 Trade Goods available for transfer, but one fewer Fighter at Jord.
Since it seems like there's no major objections, I'll time-travel Sol's Trade Good from the Action Phase to the Agenda Phase to complete the Sol to Jol-Nar transaction. Update will be posted in a few minutes, where we can start the Round 4 Strategy Phase.

I was just kidding about picking Warfare since I'm already bound to it.
And I'm very down with Sol not getting Imperial. It should be a completely valid play since 38thDoe hasn't made a pick yet. Just up to MrBody to possibly Sabotage, I don't think anybody else would.
Yep, the card play is fine since no further selections have been made yet. (As noted, 38thDoe was actually next in line, and Ketar was already locked into Warfare via Political Stability.) MrBody to respond by playing Sabotage, get someone else to play a Sabotage, or letting it go through and selecting a different Strategy Card.
No without sol taking imperial I doubt anyone else will so it's super likely that I will end up with imperial, diplomacy and construction. Utter garbage for me

After Sol picked Imperial,
Would that be fine with you @Ketar, if so it'd be on @MrBody or I guess everyone else to respond.
And I'm very down with Sol not getting Imperial. It should be a completely valid play since 38thDoe hasn't made a pick yet. Just up to MrBody to possibly Sabotage, I don't think anybody else would.
no sabo

@38thDoe
I mean I guess it depends on how much Creuss gets bribed, but I assumed they'd be after resources too.
As fun as it was to tease the idea, I'm not actually interested in bribing anyone to take Politics.
Thought it was likely Creuss would take Diplo.
@discrider
@Phyphor
Doesn't mean Nekro wasn't right and I'm just dumb, but I feel really strapped on resources and influence.
