It wasn't kaine himself. It was the fact he has a lot of connections for how small his faction is.

Dominion Ideas: Where should we conquer next?

"Trust me"
After going over the rules, here is the conclusion I have come to on strategy.
Priority one should be T3ing the Trenwyth hex. Once we have this hex, we immediately have access to everything else we want. Valhalla, Riflor, Cerea, and of course the coveted Endor hex.
If we can punch out a quick T3 for the Trenwyth hex, we can then immediately start T1ing or T2ing the above planets, as many as possible in the month of Septtember. We can do it in a variety of ways. We can immediately T1 Endor and save the T3 for the rest of the hex next month, while simultaneously doing a T2 for Valhalla and Riflor... etc.
But I think it's best to secure the Trenwyth hex first. It will shore up our map position and make it harder for us to be split in half. Trying to overextend to Endor this month could potentially risk that. While it's unlikely, it's a risk that I'd rather not take.
Also I am not concerned about Kaine and his minor faction, for the record. Even with all his supposed allies, he has no chance of winning against us right now and he knows it. Besides, Natasi has been working with him lately, and in fact I think he'd make a fine ally.

At this point we need to look towards Endor and to get there we need to create a staging point that we can dominion before carrying forward towards the Hex of choice.
So I propose we go and dominion Annaj, an ex-Imperial staging planet where we can take our fleets and military before the eventual charge towards Endor for this months Tier 3?

In natural form I did not refresh the page and see your post.
I think that what you proposed is the way forward, I can bring some objectives to the table tonight and get our tier 3 rolling to give us some solid time to post. We will make this dominion Aram's last as Supreme Commander before Ludolf is assigned to the position. How will it happen? I dunno, that's the fun of writing a story isn't it!

No one makes the hero bleed.
If Kaine behaves himself in-character, he could be an ally. If he continues the terrorism, at least where our territories are concerned, he gets the rolled up newspaper and we rub his nose in it.

Pardon me everyone, but I believe I may have had a second thought. Stroke of genius perhaps?
What if instead - we start off by T3ing the Valhalla hex? This means we can immediately collect the planets we want from this hex, while also blocking any possible GA attacks on the Trenwyth hex, as well as create more of a buffer between us and them.
Then, afterwards or simultaneously, we T1 any planet in the Trenwyth hex. This done, we have immediate access to the Endor hex. We can either T1 Endor itself or wait and T3 the entire hex next month.
Essentially the same plan as before, just slightly reworked. Thoughts?

[member="Ludolf Vaas"] I like it, I like it a lot boss. I suggest though, if we are to strike that system, we should do it quickly, and concisely.
Plus, as an added bonus, we can the Zaranathean Civil War be one of our objectives to sort.

I'd like to do a horror-themed Dominion in October for Halloween.
I'll be revisiting a concept I first did on the craftshop, Black Delta. Basically, zombies.
I'll need at least four other writers to pull it off. This can be done on any settled planet, so we can discuss which planet works strategically later this month.

My character is currently in a thread where we're about to face zombies, on Anoat, prime zombie grounds.
These nasty buggers.
EDIT: Oh right, but we already control Anoat, and I'm guessing you want a planet we don't control yet.

Since I've already been doing research on Riflor (in the Valhalla hex), would you want my help in coming up with an objective or two there?
I think [member="Carlyle Rausgeber"]'s familiarity with Zarnathea makes him a good candidate to assist with objectives for that respective planet.

While everyone is focused on Endor, Valhalla and such, perhaps we can take this Zombie-themed Dominion to Red Nebula? It's next to Yalara and I even have a nifty title. "The Dead Red Nebula," in fact I can bring over some of the Horde (experiments gone terribly wrong / right) from Kal'Shebbol or who basically fled Kal once the TKO took over.
T1 of Red Nebula, Zombie-theme?

Taking the Valhalla hex sounds good, very good now that I look at the map more.
Closes off the GA at a key area. However the moment they see us begin the T3 dom, could they not immediately start a T1 dom of any of the planets in the hex, and if completed before us, stops our T3 dom?
Further, the GA could get into the Trenwyth hex if they took Quintas, correct?
So we'd need to T1 dom Quintas and T3 dom Valhalla to truly close the GA off from the Trenwyth hex. And do the T3 before they are able to T1 any of the planets in the Valhalla hex.
Of course, I could easily be misunderstanding the dom rules.
EDIT: Oh, and psst, the GA could invade our capital planet anytime they wanted to, right? They have Lothal, which borders our capital hex.
EDIT 2: Unless Dosuun is just in the Rakata Beta hex and I was fooled by the larger capital planet icon...

I am wanting to grab the area around Lothal and cut if off from the GA and get rid of any idea of them trying to sneak one in the back against us, I also feel that we should T1 Quintas and grab the Trenwyth Hex because it will put us on the pipeline and help us get to Endor and Valhalla in the future.
Edit:
So grabbing the Red Nebula is part of me moving to cut the GA off.

[member="Sentiri"] Yes, please do. That would be excellent
They would have to go through Yalara or Effekt first, which we now own.
It would not stop our T3 dom completely, we just wouldn't get every single planet in the hex. Realistically, if they saw us going for the hex they would likely not bother with a dominion. If they were to interfere it would be through a rebellion, and even then it would probably not be worth it to them.Wolf said:
Yes, they could - but we would see this coming from a mile off. First they would have to take Quintas, which we would most definitely contest. Either way, T1ing Quintas is something we should do.Wolf said:

If we need to T1 Quintas, leave that to me. I can plan one out if you, [member="Natasi Fortan"] and [member="Aram Kalast"] would like.
