A blockade is established at Pherkad.
"People of Pherkad, do not fear me, Loremaster Philippe Lienet. If no resistance is met, nothing will be done to harm you. However, those who do not see wisdom in peace, will lose their lifes. Choose wisely."
Dropships burn to the surface.

"Ice Hellion commander, this is the governor of Pherkad. We will offer no resistance - the Pherkad militia is standing down."
Philippe smiled gladly. Was his charisma responsible? His reputation as friend of the Spheroids? No matter now, they had to secure this system.
Landing proceeds.
OOC: is it possible to contest the HPG ownership against the Wob?
(ooc: unfortuantely not. During the long days of transit to the planet, the Word of Blake, with great ceremony and much chanting, incence burning, and prayers to the Blessed Blake and Saint Toyama, systematically wrecked the HPG station to "protect its purity from the foul hand of the infidel.")
OP: Okay. Just thought cuz of other threads where 1 FP stood up against the "bad invaders".
If no fight, then no fight. Probably for the best. ;)
This time, WOB doesn't even attempt a defense; they melted away into the civilian population, no doubt harbored by sympathizers, and were gone by the time you landed.
Alright. Heavy search commences when the government is turned over. One peaceful Clanner cannot have those Toaster freaks in their backyards.
This thread is over.
