Yeah it's pretty clear that at this point the Dregluk aren't more than a nuisance, I do look forward to you dealing with their home system though. And all the time spent on them means that certain other NPR's and certain spoiler presences, if they are turned on, have time to build up forces and possibly be a challenge for you later on.

It's interesting that you should say that...

Think you could post a galaxy map at some point? I'm having some trouble keeping track of which systems are which.

I would love to, if I could just remember how to post pics!  A little help?

You can use imgur.com to host the pictures. You don't need to register. Just click on the

New Post button, drag the image to your browser and let it do its work. Once ready, select the

down arrow to open the menu, click Get Share links and finally click Copy behind the "BBCode (For Forums)" text. Then come back here and Paste the link into your post. You don't need to give your post a title or tags, and don't share it to the gallery.

And it'll look exactly like the pictures here.

All aliens are threats, and if given the chance will surely attack perfidiously.   That is the Republic's mantra.

Raptor Class Area Denial Unit

What's this now?  A fighter design for Bastion colony protection?  Planet or orbital based?  Inquiring minds etc. etc. !

The actual design will be posted in an upcoming fleet design post.  Current Republican thinking is orbital based, transported to Bastion by Fleet Docks.  Which could, if pressed, become ad-hoc carriers.  Unfortunately, while I was initially excited for this design, as always, my excitement was crushed by reality.   :).  Currently, the Republic has no fighter construction factories, and it will be some time before industry can be diverted to build some, largely because of the on-going depopulation of Earth.

Does that mean that the Interceptors are actually 1000 ton small-craft? I had thought that they were fighters, but was confused when they were able to sortie into another system and follow the main fleet.

Could you not stay with Interceptors and have a squadron based at Bastion?

The Interceptors are 1,000 ton FAC's, with enough fuel for 4 days at full speed.  They were designed and built during the difficult years early in the war, and intended to attack Dregluk ships coming through the jump point.  Therefore they had enough fuel to get from Earth to the jump point to Washington and back, and enough life support to sit at the jump point for several months, if necessary.  The Area Denial Unit design I'm playing around with would be around 210 tons and mounts missiles, but would be dependent on an external sensor source.  That wouldn't be an important limitation in a planetary defense situation, as any human population is going to have numerous PDC's defending it.

Two more ranks to go. And for the record, neither Steve nor I qualify for the final rank yet.
