The Gravity Rift, not the Gate System.
@Marx asked for a die roll:
Let’s try to be as clear as possible when making our turns to make everyone’s life a little easier.
Where are those ships coming from? I assume from Atlas?
If yes: the Xxcha Flagship can fire into that system (it can use its Space Cannons in adjacent systems, which Archon Vail is). That’s 3 Space Cannon shots hitting on 5s.
3 shots hitting on 5+: pool 3d10: 2, 2× 10

Okay, so that’s 2 Space Cannon hits against @GeeBizzle from the Xxcha flagship.
GeeBizzle, you can decide how to allocate those 2 hits however you’d like, and then we’ll move onto space combat itself.
Apologies yes it was atlas.
I’ll destroy a fighter and take a hit on the dreadnought.
Does my pds II on atlas fire too?
@Delwayne asked for a die roll:
Yes it does.
Firing.

Any action cards to play, otherwise we continue on to the space battle.

@Marx asked for a die roll:
A’ight, let’s blow some ships up!
The Mentak Assault Force consists of a Carrier and a Dreadnought.
Dreadnought hitting on 5+: d10: 5
Carrier hitting on 9+: d10: 8
The Xxcha Defence Fleet consists of a Fighter and a Carrier.
Fighter and Carrier, both hitting on 9+: pool 2d10: 2, 7
@Marx asked for a die roll:
No hits by the Xxcha, but 1 hit against them. The Xxcha will take the hit to the Fighter, and on we go.
The Mentak Assault Force consists of a Carrier and a Dreadnought.
Dreadnought hitting on 5+: d10: 3
Carrier hitting on 9+: d10: 6
Xxcha Carrier hitting on 9+: d10: 7
@Marx asked for a die roll:
No hits. Onwards!
The Mentak Assault Force consists of a Carrier and a Dreadnought.

Boom. That’s the last of the Xxcha’s valiant but ultimately ineffective space combat.
@GeeBizzle Would you like to land your ground troops? No PDS on Archon Vail, so no worries about intercepting groundfire, but the Xxcha can still play Action Cards (as can you) as the troops drop.
Let’s land on the planet.
I’ll use salvage operation to produce a carrier & take a trade good.
I’ll also use my advisor and take a promissory note from the xxcha, please.

@Marx asked for a die roll:
I don’t think you’ve researched “Salvage Operation” yet? If you have, I don’t see it…
But you can definitely use your Advisor to take a Promissory Note. I’ll let @Delwayne handle that.
As for the landing!
Mentak Occupation Force:
2 Ground Troops hitting on 8+: pool 2d10: 2, 8
Xxcha Defense Force:
1 Ground Tropp hitting on 8+: d10: 7
And with that, the Mentak forces stand victorious, having taken no casualties after that initial Space Cannon barrage from the Xxcha Flagship.
The Mentak claim Archon Vail, and end their turn.
That brings us to @COMaestro and the Yssaril!
It doesn’t look like you have the tech Salvage Operation?
And as a reminder, these are the Promissory notes players have. (five plus 1 unique)
@Captbnut needs to choose 1 to give to @GeeBizzle
I will use the Focused Research action card.
ACTION: Spend 4 trade goods to research 1 technology.
I will research Plasma Scoring.
@MIGHTYSploosh is next.
