Space Empires V: Operation Goldrush is entering the final phases now. With Castor IV dealt with, only Castor VIII remains. Since it's such a ridiculous fortress, I'm going to divert Battlefleet Green (Siege) to deal with Eridani III first. Iridia needs some serious infrastructure, some of which I can capture, but it's going to be a long time before the system is properly secure.
The siege on Cribit is beginning to wind down, too. A new squadron of siege drones arrived from Coseflame ought to move along any attacks once the siege fleet is ready - it almost doesn't matter where I attack, so it might as well be Cribit XII first. Eridani will be ready for colonies soon, as well, now I've moved some satellites to the Eridani-Quilktrin warp, along with Battlefleet Green (Vanguard).
Liam made the mistake of moving thirty ships to the Tarquin-Regotha warp. It's not quite the juiciest prize - three Cardinal-class battleships are still docked nearby - but it was good enough to warp most of Battlefleet Red (Dexter) through. A reasonable kill ratio: 27 Sovereignty destroyers and 2 cruisers destroyed, for a loss of HMS Funky Monkey and Nonpareil. The attack used a truly vast amount of munitions, enough for me to redesign the new O-Series Fleet Support Vessel to compensate
