Space Empires 101 - Galactic Council

[Thermodyne]

IC: So that the numerous races that make up Thermolia may be spared the pain and agony of another conflict, the Thermolian leadership has this day surrendered our forces and cedes jurisdiction of our holdings. We have ordered all Fleet and Marine units to stand down and make themselves available to the new government. We lament that elements among our people have taken issue with this decision. There are reports that some fleet units scuttled their commands rather than surrender and we have reports that there have been many acts of sabotage against industrial amenities. There are also reports that the priests have packed up the bulk of our religious icons and set off for an unknown location somewhere in deep space. Denying the people the benefit of these shrines during this period of instability.

OOC: No need to put off the inevitable. Against one, I could have made the cost of victory high. Against two, it would have been a long tortuous string of defeats. As to who got the leavings, the first one to declare war was given the bootie. Now the rest of you guys will have to reappraise your situations.
