**Build Phase** Spend two production to build two new ships at Earth. **Command Phase** Command 1: ship at Earth enters warp. Command 2: ship in warp travels to Indri VIII then explores heading north (assuming that I’ve understood the meaning of warp icons on advancements correctly). Three commands remaining. ---

“Greetings, Federation. We are the peaceful Cardassian Union. We have come here with our peaceful exploration fleet in order to teach and uplift these poor savages on this planet the true meaning of art, literature, and love. We are currently in discussions with the planetary leaders about joining the Union, and while they are currently hesitant to commit, I’m sure eventually they will listen to reason.” I’d love to do a 1-for-1 trade deal. “Why yes, we always name all our disruptor banks on Galor-class starships. You will note that this ship’s disruptor banks are named ‘Reason’.” [Previous page](https://discussion.tekeli.li/t/star-trek-ascendancy-game-2/3221.md?page=5) [Next page](https://discussion.tekeli.li/t/star-trek-ascendancy-game-2/3221.md?page=7)
