Struggle for The Galactic Empire

[Old Dwarf]

SV-it's really not such a bear Everything is done in set phases
so you can keep track of things.It is one of those games
you need to play some & leave set up & then continue.
A poster over at BGG has even put up Game Sheets that
allow you to record the game put it away & then set up
& resume play.

The Game has 7 Scenarios:

Over The Edge-10 turns (the Galactic Empire begins to decline)
Civil War-10 turns
The Empire Strikes-5turn (the Empire trys a come back)
Eternal Empire-10 turns
Transhuman Revolt-10 turns
Second Empire-10 turns
Sweep of Empire-Unlimited turns(pick any of the other
Scenarios & play till the Empire wins an Universal Victory)

Each Scenario has its own Victory conditions that rate
The Empire from Collapse,Decline,Survial,Expanding,
Galactic.

PS-Here's a run down of the first half of the Second Turn (this covers the Chaos
Evente & the actions of the various hostile Forces-just before the Empire
conducts its phases.

The Empire Strikes

Events in the few after year after the Bel-Roise disaster
saw pirates make a minor incursion into the Periphery Psi
Sector but otherwise things proved kinder to
the Empire,largely due to the ruthless use of Imperial
Agents who suppressed a planned Invasion in the
Outland Gamma Sector,a planned Rebellion,and an
Usurpation attempt.

A promising General was assigned to the Aquila
Monitoring Force & The general feeling of Pacifism
that prevailed Galaxy wide which aided the Empires Psi
Forces in converting break away systems back to
the Imperium.

The most startling stroke of luck for the Empire was,
however the collapse of the Perseus Alpha Republic.
The Republic long paralyzed by political division
dissolved into chaos & its forces reverted to rebel
units.The Irony of the removal of the objective
of Bel-Rosie Campaign within a year after
his own down fall must remain a cautionary note
to all set plans.

Gentlemen if you will please come to order,thank you
Officers..Lord Broding I am pleased to report some
progress after the initial 5 year efforts to preserve
the Empire.

The Persesus Alpha Republic is no more & although
Intelligence reports it has managed to restore
a systems government it's former Forces have
gone rogue.The Confederacy still has taken no action
but is building up its forces.The Outland Kingdom
is still occupied in its attempted conquest of Outland
Eta Sector.It has however brought an Alpha Fleet on
line so it must be watched carefully.We are currently
planing an attack on it's home world if they remain
occupied in the Eta Sector.

In short they are just potential threats
rather than actual ones.

True the Invaders returned from the Great Rift &
destroyed the Freehold Sector but that has been
avenged by General Ixion who has destroyed the
Invaders.We do have another pirate force out
in the Periphery Psi Sector but its too small
& too far out to be of concern.

As for the various Rebel Forces,none have taken
any hostile action against us.

I can with some confidence project that as new
Sectors are added to the Empire we should regain
all the ground lost.This is the Goal of our next 5 year plan.

Lord Bording I trust this will satisfy his Imperial Majesty
that his will is being carried out.

Baron,I shall convey your progress to the Emperor,
I am sure the nature of his satisfaction will be conveyed
to you.
