Right.
Science Fleet jumps to Eagle nebula (Commands 3 and 4)
Braves the phenomenon for free.
(Research point into pool)
Science fleet then jumps to the warp lane sector one square from the badlands to begin Diplomatic negotiations.
(Commands 5 and 6)
You don’t need the Science Fleet power for this - I think that’s for the occasion when you’re leaving ships in place to do ongoing research, so they start their turn in that space. When the fleet arrives at Eagle Nebula it automatically rolls its (single) ship-destruction check. Does that alter what you want to send where?
Nope. Thanks for the clarification, as long as only one ship needs to roll I’m happy
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
OK, science fleet loses one ship on a 5+: d6: 6
Science fleet has only two ships left, and disbands. (But you get the Research, and this one can go to a project.) Carry on with commands 5-6 with a single ship?
Research stays in the pool. Complete other steps with one ship please.
One command remaining.

Greetings @Marx and the romulan star empire. We would like to extend the hand of peace and trade to our neighbours.
(Please let me know what terms you would like.)
Hello filthy bags of mostly water! I represent the glorious Romu…
Sorry, I’m getting a message from the homeworld…
(… I’m sorry… HOW many ships do they have?.. okay. Huh. Okay then.)
Humble and celebratory greetings, great and mighty representatives of Whatever-a-Federation-is! We are the lowly and penitent Romulan Star Empire. We welcome you with open arms, and gifts of small preserved meats in floral shapes. Are they not celebratory!?
We offer our feeble and unimpressive 3-Trade-Good contract in exchange for your far superior and stronger 3-Trade-Good contract. Alternatively, we can offer you a lifetime subscription to OnlyRomulans, basically worthless to us but perhaps of some… cultural signifance to the more Riker-inspired among your people, in exchange for slightly less of your financial wealth?
We hope this appeases the great armies and unstoppable might of the Whatever-a-Federation-is peoples! Let us shake limb-termination appendages in peace and property!
(My 3 for your 3… or my 1 for your 2 if that works better for you)
Happy to do 3 for 3
(Shakes virtual space hand)
For the last command the ship at the neutron star enters warp
Awww, I went first so I have to bid first? This is some BS…
(mutter curse mutter)
Fine. FINE. Fine. Let’s do this.
Oh. I forgot about bidding.
(We get all our resources first though?)
Yup. So end phase happens…

In order Romulan, Klingon, Federation, each power may bid a number of resources (Production, Research, Culture). All resources bid by one power must be of the same type, and you may not bid the same number of resources as anyone who’s already bid. Highest numbed of resources gets first pick of the turn order cards; all left over are dealt randomly to non-bidders.
Romulus bids 1 Production to maintain control of the Galactic Senate.
Klingon, no bid.
I should have another research
(3 research nodes)
Last turn I received one from the Eagle nebula and two from the advanced combat drone, so my total should be 6.
Federation bids 2 production.
