GWW U9 203.1 New Flash!!!!!
The Beginning of the End? The first Victory!
The First outpost has been completed in the Hub Galaxy. It's the first of a few that will be used as a jumping off points to the main target ; the Andro home galaxy. With no sign of Andros in the Hub for 3 turns now it has been declared secured. The Galactic Powers has its first strategic victory!.
Why is the HUB galaxy so important? Normally the travel time to the Andromeda Galaxy from the Milky Way Galaxy is a full year. This complicates planning and ordination. The Travel time from the HUB Galaxy to the Andromeda Galaxy is only half that, 6months. The much smaller size of the Hub galaxy makes it easier to defend. It is a stepping stone to the beginning of the end of the the very long Andromedan War (14yrs).
Contact has been made with two sentient empires in the Andromeda Galaxy. The NeoTholians have been found. They are generally friendly, and have helped some ships in desperate straights. A stranded group of Alunda units were allowed to be interned in NeoTholians space, saving the crews. This hospitality isn't free, they are taking our intelligence and technology as the price. They seem VERY eager to rescue their fellow stones in the Milky Way Galaxy. The Tholians however have remained silent when the NeoTholians have made communication efforts. They have invited the Tholians back home. It is feared that this lack of response is being taken as a problem. The NeoTholians have also discovered that the Seltorians have a kingdom in the Milky Way Galaxy. The worry is they may think blood war still exists between the Tholians and Seltorians. Even more worrisome was the last communication from the NeoTholians that said something to the effect; If you cant make it home then the Seltorians must be the issue, we will come and save you. This may explain why they have been so interested in WORM technology.
In a quite surprising development he Kzinti have begun to raise giant force fields around their systems. This tech seems a copy of some NeoTholian technology. The maintenance of these fields cost lots of money so it is yet to be determined if this will be a deterrent to Andro incursions. The usual 15 or so enemy convoys raids continued in the galaxy, but they dont seem like the massive attacks we have seen in the past, more nuisance raids. This can probably be explained by the Andros new offensive in Jind space.
With a ferocity and mass of motherships not seen concentrated in one sector before, the Andros hit the Jinds hard. Somewhere between 9xDEV (BB class) and 6xDOM, along with 4xINT, COQ, and 8xPYTs (all motherships had full hangers) attacked two Jind systems. The systems fell under the weight of the attack. The Andro lost virtually nothing. The Andros then blew up the systems, and massed around sector G47, perhaps as a staging area to attack and destroy more Jind systems. Its unclear how the Jinds became the new found enemy of the Andros. The Romulans find and destroy a Andro SAT base. The odd Andro MX, called “Magical Mystical Energy Balls” took out another 5xFT and a FL in RYN and QIXA space. The Roms have had action, been a long time since they have been visited by the Andros, who this time attacked their off map areas which were trying to make new systems.
So….
The war drags on, the first forays into the Andromeda galaxy have met with stiff resistance and been repulsed. New strategies are taking shape that hopefully will turn the tide of the war.
Galactic Powers Merchant losses-> Commercial Base, a Triple Commercial Base, 9xFL,24xFS,5xFT, FOL,FPLCPL, 358EP ,2 systems annihilated H49 and G49.
Military-> BATS(2xPFM,12xPF), BS(2xPFM,12xPF), GBPF(6xPF),LCS,9xDWp, DW,
Andromedan Losses-> SAT,6xDefSAT,5xIPSS :
Our view of the Milky Way Galaxy.
We are looking for a few Galactic Power players to fill in some positions. If you like coop games this is for you, (all the Galactic Powers united against the evil Andromedans) . Invest as much or as little time as you like. The internet banter with others is full of flavor and reads like daily intel reports.
Background on U9:
It will have three maps: Milky Way, The Hub, Andromeda Galaxy.
Y187.1 start, currently just finished 203.1. Adjusted special rules and additional victory conditions to achieve just for your empire, in addition to large scale victory conditions.
Come join us! We have a well run mentor program, contact me here (or at galconquest@aol.com) and I will set you up. Positions available.

GWW U9 203.2 New Flash!!!!!
The Waiting Begins
The First outpost had been completed in the Hub Galaxy last turn and now a new outpost has popped up in the Andromeda Galaxy. We don't know who it belongs to but its presence can mean we are one step closer to the long awaited invasion. GWW can confirm the first use of the new X2 class XDN ship. It seems several dozen of these very powerful X2 ships are around the galaxy. They are supposed to be 33% larger than a XCA and more attuned to war rather than multiple war/peace roles.
Other than the usual “We are coming to save our brethren” messages from the NeoTholians to the Tholians little else has transpired in the non Andro empires in the AG. We do know that an Alunda SQ has been interned in NeoTholian space. The price for the saving of the crews seems to be technology. Word has it they have gotten access to Alunda tech blueprints. The also seem very eager to get WORM tech. The word is they are coming to “save” the Tholians and smite enemies of the Tholians.
The assault on the Jinds continues, aside from the loss of 1000EPs of commerce, the Andro Task Forces reduced to space dust another 3 Jind systems. They also disrupted a mineral Resource operation. The only good news is the Jinds were able to muster enough force to stop a 4th system from being lost. Other than the Frax attacks a few years ago this is one of the worst we have seen done to a fellow GP (Galactic Power). The Qari found and destoyed a SAT. Large commerce raids elsewhere in the galaxy continue.
So….
The war drags on waiting for the GP to make a move at invasion to nip the threat at its source. The longer we wait the more we are losing in the home galaxy. GWW says INVADE NOW!.
