Did I state it that exact moment? No. But, it has been the practice of the Coalition for some time now, and has always been my modus-operandi. When you give orders, they are assumed to remain in effect after the end of the thread, no? If we had to restate every part of every potentially-relevant agreement, situation, or thing in every thread, it'd be bothersome.
True, I did not reemphasize that the Azguards came by way of Tammar, nor did I see fit to remind the readers that Mon Calamari, not Azguard, is seen as the public capital and recieves the majority of the public communications. I saw no need to say these things, much like I saw no need to tell you about the status of the natives on Rattatak under their current queen - because such information didn't seem relevant to you, or the readers, so why bother restating it? If you're up to date on the Coalition and what we do, you'd probably know that already (I've produced any number of biographies, "Everything you need to know about (x)", and other handy informational guides to keep people up-to-date on past agreements that are still in effect), so why bother telling you again?
Now, however, that it is relevant, I feel it is important to note the longstanding policy that was in effect, and I assume would remain so. It wouldn't require any additional effort on my part to enforce, because should the policy be operational, then the information simply wouldn't be there for you to find - so what, would I have to sit there and list all the other things you couldn't find, just in case you went looking for them?
Attacking a comparatively low-key world in the hopes of gleaning Azguards' coordinates seemed like a good move, in that it would be less defended and thus perhaps easier to take, but the problem there is that a less important world also would be less likely to have that information. Teth is the East's military capital, and Panacka often has to confer with the Prime Minister, making it a much more likely candidate. Mon Calamari, too, often has to direct information to the Azguards, and the Mon Calamari have strong ties after numerous instances of Mon calamari troops assitsting the Azguards domestically, and vice versa.
Kubindi, though? There would be no special reason for them to have the coordinates, so why would they?
*EDIT* Omnae posted while I was writing, I'll consider his points and edit my reply soon.
Okay, clarification. Yes, I did say it was an Azguard fleet. Yes, it did come from Azguard. However, the last direction it came from was Tammar, because in the battle for Tammar that was the arrival of the entire Azguard-sector fleet, coming from the four-planets and four races that make up the sector before spreading out to defend the East.
I wasn't sure how much later the Kubindi attack would be after the Tammar one, but that issue was already gone over (I think), so in the end this force was a part of the force that arrived at Tammar during the Union attack.
As such, trajectory wouldn't work.
As for communications, I've said it before, Panacka would provide the advance warning necessary, the secret thing about the medical support also providing cover for the research was to hide the facility from the enemy, not from the people. Mon Calamari is indeed under threat, and its' loss would signal a huge blow to Coalition unity and political strength, which is one of the reasons it is a key factor in the war.
There are lots of Azguards around because I like using the race I created, there's very little need to defend Azguard itself, and the population is largely enlisted as well as supported by the other planets and populations in its' system, ensuring there is a sprinkling around the galaxy. Would you tell off Ahnk for using too many Cree'Ar in his Cree'Ar Dominion threads? The Azguards are cool, and I go to extra lengths to use them in galactic hotspots. I didn't even think we'd be attacked much when I originally decided to move the Azguard-sector fleet away from Azguard to defend the East, and wanted the war to focus more on the races of the East.
The reason why I haven't written more about relief efforts is because
I am not a robot, and occasionaly need sleep or to attend an educational facility, maybe even consume plant and animal matter for nutrition. I started writing for this thread when the war was really in high gear and I was posting in more than a half-dozen threads every couple days, with a lot of people mad at me for various technical snafus and arguments raging around that it was a miracle that I got a post out at all that was readable. Now that the thread's under way, to suddenly start talking about what my doctors are up to would seem off-topic - also, you specified that the Phage's effects would be roleplayed between Heir and I, and Heir isn't back, so were I to write about my medical efforts in his absence it might be the equivalent of posting in a fleet battle without him.
I hope that answers all the questions asked.
