@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Build:

• Increase weapons (6R)
• Disband fleet 1.
• Build 3 ships at Vulcan and put them and 6 others into generic fleet 3 (3P).

Command:

• C1 fleet 2 moves 2 on impulse towards Nervala

• C4 combined fleets initiate space battle.

Vulcan: 14 ships, weapons 3+, shields 1, no relevant advancements
Romulan: 7 ships, weapons 3+, shields 0, no relevant advancements

Vulcan: pool 14d6: 2× 1, 2× 2, 2× 3, 2× 4, 2× 5, 4× 6 for 3+
Romulan: pool 7d6: 2× 3, 2× 5, 3× 6 for 4+

[RogerBW]

@Carletto80 Romulans decide how to split their five hits between Vulcan fleet 2 (5 ships, Science) and 3 (9 ships, generic); then are wiped out.

[Carletto80]

Wait: I did not finish…

Retire Trade Agreement from the Klingons
Swap TA to the Federation from current to 3P

now I’m done.

[Carletto80]

I think I have enough hits to only disband the Science Fleet. I’ll do that.
Fleet 3 with 7 ships remaining + 2 lone ships.

@RogerBW asked for a die roll:

• Vulcan ships tactical-move into Nervala.
• Two Vulcan stragglers merge into fleet 3.
• C5 initiate invasion.

Vulcan: 9 ships, weapons 3+, shields 1, no relevant advancements
Romulan: 3 nodes, weapons 3+, shields 0, control nodes auto-hit instead of rolling

Vulcan: pool 9d6: 1, 2, 2× 3, 2× 4, 2× 5, 6 for 3+
Romulan: pool 2d6: 2× 1 for 4+, +1 hit

[RogerBW]

One Vulcan ship is lost, and the system is captured intact.

[RogerBW]

@Carletto80: please pick two projects to lose to the Vulcans.

[Carletto80]

I think it would be illogical to invade a so poorly developed civilization …

[Carletto80]

OOC: the Logical Observer faction ability prevents the Vulcan from invading Nervala IV
