Yes there is war in the NW quadrant. Not a declared war, but war none the less.

When the Scron first encountered the Bakulon, we would have gladly extended an olive branch. Cooperation and trade is much more beneficial to all concerned.

However, the Bakulon's greeting, without warning or a declaration of war, was the destruction of two new but defenseless colonies.

The Scron now look to eradicate such vermin from the galaxy.

I'd love to post some news too, but there's little I can say without giving away information that could potentially put my allies and/or enemies at risk. I'll post summaries of previous events once they are no longer of any use.

I'm having a great old time roleplaying a Merchant race...I took this ability initially for the reduced maintenance, but figured I'd go with it and trade with everybody. So far quite succesfully. Now I know I should have taken "Natural Merchant" as well :-)

Meanwhile I keep a nervous eye out in all directions. Am building a fleet to deal with the Amon'krie, and hope my customer (allies) don't get alarmed by the rising number of ships they can see in my stats. I try to orchestrate my trades (star charts, resources, anything!) in such a way as to avoid an all out war in the northern section of the galaxy.

Dragon is trying to be Switerland during WWII. And so far, doing a good job at it.

Oh yeah, I love this roleplaying. I'm trying to meet up with the happy-happy joybots of the Irrh-nur, cause I know they're good at it too.
I like having the merchant backstory. For instance, this month (turn)I told one customer that he had been selected "customer of the month" and gave him some free star charts, just for the hell of it

I'm not sure the Irh-Nrr are so happy-happy anymore

And from my guess, they're probably in first place.

I wonder if they met the Rage yet..

We have just encountered an independant machine ecology that goes by that designation.

We have broadcast Irha-Nrr system recognition handshake codes and are awaiting a response code to determine whether these machines are of common ancestry to the Irha-Nrr. We will not have a response for two months. If they are following common protocols, however, we should recieve a handshake code from them next month already.

We will keep our protected species appraised of these developments.
