I have 1 fleet space available where all my other ships are but if more than 1 of my cruisers retreat there I have to disband them. I expect you to get two hits knowing my luck so I can assign hits to my cruisers first and see if I can save a few ships.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

He could retreat to Mellon/Zohbat, and self-destruct 2 ships to fit fleet supply.

Yeah, that^^

So that's what you want, Twelve? If, perchance, all 3 Cruisers make it back to Mellon/Zohbat, what 2 ships would you scuttle (and if just 1, which)?

I want to save the ship with the infantry and the fighter if I can. Once the fighter makes it to Mellon zohbat other ships can handle the capacity issue (if only 1 cruiser survives) if I'm not mistaken.

Tapper, however you do it, I’ll give you my support for the throne if I end up with the imperial card. Tatts is going to take my homeworld and IH or Morgoth will take Rex so the best I’ll do is max out at 10vp.

Hey Gnaw, there's some disagreement between D'rek and I whether we traded one or two commodities. I say two, she says one. You're the arbiter :D

I passed. Morgoth apparently I still have a commodity. Offered to trade for your 1. Or, if I’ve made a mistake, then I’ll give you a trade good for your commodity.

He's going to take imperial. First turn take Rex. Second, play imperial. Giving him 9 or 10 Vp right then depending upon what objective comes up on the draw. You just shot him into a prime condition to win.

After Tapper it is IH Morgoth, I am passing, I think Blend also has 2 tactical actions left, Gnaw has passed so not many people left to take turns.

If he takes Rex first turn, he'd be going last and it gives everyone a chance to react. He'd have to hold out as long as possible before taking Rex, by then you could sure up its defences and make it harder to take. This way though, IH HAS to try and win this next round. He cannot be speaker again so choosing politics and making Blend speaker may be in his best interest over taking Imperial this turn.

Lots of variables going on.

Perhaps. I just hope Tatts will open the alpha wormhole on Gwynan.

TATTS PLACE AN ALPHA-WORMHOLE ON GWYNAN.
