As in two (2) war galleys compared to the WCE war fleet. Yes, you "join" with TOKEN forces, so that you can claim to be involved, but making certain that your "allies" will allways take the greater share of the risk.)> The reason I used "token" forces as you put it was because if I had sent a Baseship, there would have been no survivors, and the Stargate would have been totally destoyed. There was no reason for that, we sought only to shut the gate down...not destroy it. The WCE also only sent a "token" fleet to mirror our "battle plans"... <Not if you "set up the QSN to be so angry with the WCE that they would attack them instead of you, and then you attack after both sides are worn down to a nub.> You flatter Den of Earth...we are not that coniving...Nor the QSN *that* stupid...(although, I am assuming that, you wouldn't know it from their actions as of late..<g>) Den of Earth ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Mar 1995 13:11:13 EST From: "JASON GOFF" <JGOF4P1@S1.csc.peachnet.edu> To: bse-l@consensus.com Subject: SSL Official News Message-ID: <MAILQUEUE-101.950312131113.352@S1.csc.peachnet.edu> Yesterday several renegades were arrested for unauthorized use of an illegal transmitter and insulting the Godfather.

Also what is your ship size for sale? Our going rate for FRIENDS is 50,000 stellars for a WC some what fully loaded. (like a used car lot am/fm with air) That comes to around 300 to 400 stellars a hall for us spider wasp sales bugs. We are looking for small class ships to get into the new area?! The EEM prices are to high for the market/stellar to bear out here in deep transhole. They are reflective of the old order market system and are caping market reform and true growth in the Greater Periphery.

If you'd like, I'll submit an article now and then. I've heard from the attorneys, and they assure me that a settlement between the Krieger Press and the Ringbone Press is due any day now. That will be good news as the Gazette can begin publication as soon as it's settled. Harold Hedd (aboard the EEM Pull My Finger) P.S. I haven't tried the pleasure sheep, but there's been no record of mutilations on this ship.

Message-ID: <950312160315_47185467@aol.com> Attn USS Research Director: I understand that the Imperial Services are the single largest market for pleasure sheep. Since they heard this, my scientists have been enthusiastic. What they want to know is this: would you be interested in producing a special line of FOE-modified sheep for export specifically to IMP worlds? Although a test model would be necessary for us to speak with any certainty, we have identified many ways in which sheep could be modified to solve overpopulation problems.

The Director's staff, including Associate P.D Elijah 7 Jacobi and Information Coordinator Baltazar Hepto, will be handling routine communiques until his return. USS Information Service OOC: Greetings all, Carl sends his regards, but can't do it himself due to catastrophic hard drive failure. This combined with fairly massive impingements of reality (i.e. 80-90 hour work weeks) has kept him from responding as quickly as he would like. He *is* still active, just off email and hard to find at home. Be prepared to leave a message if you call. Paul Postak, the Associate P.D., and myself still maintain the USS Political Presence here on the Net. Paul's email address is fk490@cleveland.freenet.edu, and mine, in case its not obvious at the top of this message, is gstarrh@umich.edu.

An Imperial ship, while speaking with the Alliponians, recieved the following message from the Alliponians: "Allipon is strictly neutral territory. this includes the space square and may soon include the entire system of Limond. for now, any aggressive attacks on or near Allipon will be met with the harshest possible response either from allipon itself or from our new BATTLE MOON class system defense ships." Alliponian sources had no further comments to say about these new warships or Alliponian plans to annex the entire Limond system. At press time, Flagritz, WCE, & SAM governments, who all hold a joint protectorship of Limond had not been contacted yet for comment on the Alliponian plans to claim limond.

The space square of Hammerfest and all space squares adjacent are temporarily declared a war zone till the truth or falsity of this message can be determined. Those affiliations wishing to purchase the double farm tech from the Celtians are advised to stay away for the time being. Any ships found assisting the Foelians will be destroyed with them.
