It's really more of the Empire showing up and saying "do this or we pound your planet into crap".
The rules make it illegal to try and take a planet that is already in the process of being taken by another group. Dolash is in the midst of "Operation: Missing Link", which takes place on Pavo Prime. I'm not certain whether it's an attack, or simply a roleplay (i.e. intel gathering or something of that nature). It does not, as far as I've read, involve OOC fleets or assets.
So, my question is this: am I allowed to launch an "attack" on the planet, utilizing OOC assets? And, if so, would said story better be played in a seperate thread, or within the thread already taking place? I would prefer, for obvious reasons, to do it in a seperate thread...
If Dolash wants to shed any light on Missing Link that might effect the decision, please do!
Anyway... yeah.
