2409.3 - I have nearly secured the Toltayan system. There are no enemy ships in the system currently and I have one warphole guarded, and a large fleet 1 sector away. Providing that the toltayans don't have too many ships enter the sector next turn, I should seal it off and begin colonizing.
The toltayan ships are tough to fight, they are bigger, faster, and have better range, and talismans. I take heavy casualities when fighting them (except in warphole ambushes). Luckily, I have a lot of ships to lose
The praetorians are ahead in the 2nd Xi'Chung system. They have over twenty BB and light carriers in the system. I have a decent sized fleet but very outdated ships. I am building a 2nd fleet but I'm not sure how good it will be. The Xi'Chung have one planet left and one ship in that system. Their homeworld is in a neighboring system, but I havn't seen in there for awhile.
Wow: The praetorians send most of their ships through the warphole into my system. All are destroyed. I take some damage, but compared to their losses it is minor. It will be interesting to see if the Xi'Chung will be able to recover from this.
