[Tanus]

This and that.

The Sign are in their Last throws, and will not have any planets come next turn. I can't speak for the Yerdonian or Great Nut, as I have not seen their strength, although the Yerdonian lost 300 ships a few turns ago.

There are two minors that have become extremely strong, the Dei and the Hulentian. I do not know where that will lead, and it is still over 2 years before ancient/minor wars may begin. Left to their own devices, it is tough to say who would win. The Hulentian are larger, but the Dei have more advanced stellar manipulation.

As for how the remaining ancients fit in, too much can happen in 2 years to tell who will be left and in what strength.
