Just a quick bump here. The Empire that Alneyan needs help replacing in Proportions #1 is in a strong position, being easily defendable and possessing a strong tech base. In fact - as far as I know - the Slu'vek Society (Alneyan's empire) has developed Stellar Manipulation more fully than any other empire.

The game is currently in a very interesting spot. With the Space Vikings out of the picture, 7 of the remaining 10 empires are currently at war, vying for position. The Slu'vek have stayed out of the fighting so far, so their bank account should be plump, and their forces untouched. If they were to aid their considerable weight to one of the on-going conflicts, the Slu'vek could completely shift the current balance of power in any direction they should choose.

Anyone looking for a slower paced game, with well developed diplomacy, should give this a once over.
