My departure time for Friday has been moved up two hours, if there is any chance to get me a turn first thing in the morning I will be sure to get it done before I leave.

House Hawkwood has settled one city on Bannockburn, one on Pentateuch and three on Tethys.

I thought the bug only concerned ships loaded with cargo? That's why there's usually a house rule (for some reason not included in the OP) enforcing unloading of all landed ships before ending one's turn.

(No idea about whether if it just is Symbiot ships or not but I updated the OP regarding unloading. I knew I forgot at least one rule.)
=============================================================

Citizens of the Empire! Another great victory against the hordes of the Symbiots. This time a horrid fleet of putrescent space ships belonging to the alien menace jumped in once more over Stigmata. It appears the enemy is desperate to retrieve or transport its disgusting armies over the face of Humanity. But no more, the enemy was vanquished completely.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Imperial Fleet will maintain the quarantine for now. In light of these victories, I have commanded that task force Shining and Vengeful Beacon be assembled with the sole purpose of seeking out the enemy over their own nests. Over the coming years the task force will arrive over the skies of Stigmata.

Given the easing of tensions with the Vau near Cadavus, I will recall the Fleet presence to Stigmata in request of House Decados through House al-Malik space. If this is not agreeable to Ibn Donald then the Fleet will return to Byzantium.

((I meant to put this up last night, but eh, you know.))

Baroness Lucinda Santiago speaks before the Senate: "I have received the first reports from Stigmata. Garrison forces employing new Hazat focus-fire tactics have completely destroyed a Symbiot attack on the Citadel itself with few casualties. This is but the first phase of a counter-attack that will recapture many of the out-lying areas that have fallen under Symbiot control after the chaos of the assassination- including critical oil-fields.

The good news ends there however. We now have evidence that the aliens have been preparing a full-fledged invasion of Imperial space by Symbiot ships. Despite the recent victory of the Imperial Fleet, the high orbitals of Stigmata are once again teeming with Symbiot ships, and we know of many others docked or under construction on the planet's surface. Plans are being laid for an invasion of the Southern Continent to cleanse the hives there, but in the meantime we shall need to rely on the might of the Imperial Fleet.

You'll forgive me the tardiness - 10001'st birthday celebrations kept me too sedated to send it before Vertab's departure.

Imperial Eye and Li Halan Update
« Reply #259 on: August 02, 2015, 11:02:02 am »

Turn Sent to Hazat

The Imperial Eye has established two mining facilities on Madoc and has reimbursed the League 20,000 firebirds for the mineral rights.

The Planetary Survey of Byzantium Secundus is ongoing and the latest data has been shared with the envoys of the Great Noble Houses.

Also, the cloaked Imperial Eye Stealth Ship that is stationed near the Stigmata Jumpgate has reported yet another swarm of Symbiot space vessels have entered the Star System.  It would seem these insidious creatures use their infernal dark arts to grow new warships as fast as the Imperial Fleet can destroy them, and the Stealth Ship at Bannockburn reports a small task force of Symbiots vessels have appeared in that star system as well.

In other news... In a spectacular ceremony surrounded with great pomp and circumstance, an emissary from House Hawkwood delivered to the Li Halan Homeworld of Kish two sacred and holy relics.  The Lancet of St. Almathea and the Mirror of Forgiveness, clergy from the Universal Church of the Celestial Sun carefully transported these artifacts to the newly constructed Sanctuary where pilgrims of all sects can view these holy relics under the protection of House Li Halan.

Boris Decados Flagship Deck

- "Give me!" - Boris Decados grabbed a pad and looked at it - "So, how do you name them?"
- "Husks. Locals name them Ice-Crackers." - a slim researcher was looking even a bit scared by the reaction of Decados noble.
- "And how do they forbid us to build a new cities at the north pole?"
- "They are... tremendously strong. People are afraid of troubling them and no one lives on the North."
- "They are just demented symbiots! I will crush them, just like any other aliens we have found on our worlds." - Boris become enraged - "No creature is dared to confront the House Decados! Our battleships will bring fire upon their home!"
- "Sir, they are not usual Symbiots! Husks are fully autonomous and can survive without supplies in any weather. Exactly they are simply zombies! Their master resides in the ancient citadel and can reanimate even more of them! He also in control of a organic spaceships and can fight even in the space!"
- "This makes him even more dangerous! There is no way we will tolerate his presence!" - Shouted Boris.

--------------------------------------

The Skies Over Malignatius

"Malignatius Space Flight Control, Incoming Fleet. Identify yourself!"
"Boris Decados royal fleet, Malignatius Space Flight Control. This is Decados mission from Severus. Code is 8HGE93LK, Repeat: 8-H-G-E-9-3-L-K."
"MSFC, Boris Decados royal fleet. Roger. Do you want advisories?"
"Boris Decados Royal Fleet, MSFC. Negative."

A numerous space ships were moving towards the planet. Many supply vessels were stationed in the rear hemisphere, while the glorious Boris Flagship was flying ahead of the fleet.

--------------------------------------

Severus Palace Of House Decados

- "Vladimir Decados! The messenges of other Houses arrived!"
- "They were long awaited! What do they state?"
- "They agree to our request and are drawing their vessels out of the Decados Space. Our scouting networks are also confirming this."
- "That's... Great. I was sure in my success. Something else?"
- "Your son has reached the Malignatius world. His report hasn't came yet, we have only the emergency report from our network."
- "Just in time."
- "Cadiz has completed agriculture survey. It should arrive right now. That's all."
- "Then's it is the great day! I will write a few letters and orders, come this evening to send them. You may go." - Vladimir grinned - "And we might want to hold a feast..."

--------------------------------------

Okay, i have 3 battleships and a few nice units. What are the chances to destroy all husks? As i know they have 10 husks inside the castle and the same amount in the bordering hex. There may also be a few hidden.

The horror! Symbiot nesters spotted on Istakhr! How did they get there? Were they the remnants of the invasion fleet from a few years back who somehow managed to make a landing and hide among the dunes? Or were they a new batch that has sept though the blockade at Stigmata?
They've been quickly dealt with, but panic among citizens spreads. Can we trust the Fleet commander to do his job? Is this the beginning of the end?
Concerned al-Malik nobles flee the homeworld. Many try for protection of the Church at De Moley despite harsh living conditions. House al-Malik subsequently paid 15 thousand in tithes to thank the Holy Father for welcoming the refugees.

Death Comes to Nowhere

IMPERIAL EYE EMERGENCY BULLETIN

ALERT!!! All Residents in and around the capitol of Necropolis on the Imperial Planet of Nowhere be advised a massive herd of the undead "Husks" are converging on the city.

An immediate request has been sent to His Imperial Excellency the Lord Regent Alvarex Hawkwood to send reinforcements and warships to Nowhere to eliminate this threat to the citizens surrounding Necropolis.  The Imperial Guard has stated that the "Husks" have never penetrated the inner walls of the city center or planetary palace, yet they refuse to leave the safety of their citadel to protect the lives of the serfs and freeman that inhabit the outer walls of Necropolis stating that the Imperial Charter does not allow them to abandon their post no matter what the circumstances may be.

The Imperial Eye pledges to commit our very limited security forces that we have available on the planet to hold off the undead as long as possible, and at the command of Duke Flavius Li Halan the gates to the Imperial Eye compound have been opened as refuge to as many people that can reach the safety of its fortified bunker before these abominations of darkness breach the city perimeter.

May the Pancreator have mercy on our souls.

North Pole of Malignatius

The perpetual night was dispelled by the numerous explosions. For 30 hours the terrain was constantly bombarded by the star fleet. Each few seconds a horizon was blazing by the explosion of another bomb.
Boris Decados has landed here a few hours ago. This chunk of land, the edge of the north continent, was the only safe place around. At the moment Boris is observing the far lands with binoculars.
- "So, what direction?" - He asked.
- "Precisely 237 degrees. Try to scale it by 20x." - A slim engineer was standing behind Boris with his own binoculars. He was working at this planet for all his life but was treated as one of the best among the Decados court. For the last 10 years he was the chief engineer of the planet and was managing all mining operations on it.
- "Still no contact... Yes, I see it."
- "It is a great citadel. I haven't seen anything like it before. Probably even Byzantium The Second doesn't possess such mighty fortifications."
Boris lower his binoculars and thought for a bit.
- "But this walls - they can be destroyed by our battleships? Or we will need to use nuclear bombs?"
- "This will take a lot of time. A few years at worst. It has hidden underground chambers. They were detected by the radio-geological survey but we have no idea how numerous they are. And this area is highly diamond rich so we shouldn't use any highly demolishing weapons."
- "Maybe you also know something about those Husks?"
- "Just some breed of Symbiots. I have never met one before."
Boris smiled, as he has come with a plan. He walked towards the shuttle and turned on the great radio station, able to communicate through the whole star system.
- "Boris Decados Shuttle, Malignatius Decados Palace, I request all available Kossacks divisions..."

The Barren Lands of De Moley

Constantine Romanov was a distant relative of the Great House Decados but never had the high position in society. For the last few years he was a courtier of Decados, but to his fault he managed to enrage Vladimir Decados and now was hiding among the dunes of De Moley. After the last events of Symbiot War this dunes became populated with refuges, and some nobles moved there to gather power. While the capital is under the control of Church, many other towns loyal to either Decados or Al Malik. However neither Vladimir or Ibn Donald have any influence there - all fiefs are highly decentralized and are hard to control.
Paul Constantine was highly prompted to take the control of this planet and confront Vladimir Decados by himself. He has already gathered a small army and reinforced it with some battle vehicles.
The lone plane is flying over the barren dunes, in the search of a new places for cities. Constantine wasn't hoping to find anything in this barren land, although there may be some old ruins.
- "Pilot, there is something to the west! Land here." - he suddenly shouted. Constantine noticed something in the far, looking just like human figures.
In a few minutes the plane has already landed and the noble with a few riflemen reached this place. Many dead bodies were laying around. Muster mercenaries.
- "H-how they got there? There is no Muster presence." - cried one rifleman.
Constantine leaned over the one body. It has something on the coat...
- "They were recruited by Al Malik." - pronounced Constantine. - "And now we must find out what killed them."

--------------------------------

Constantine Romanov has bought a new fief on the world De Moley.
