The strategy phase is not the agenda phase. You can trade freely in the agenda phase. I do not believe you can trade freely in the strategy phase.
And all trades are of interest to the mentax.

Tapper - just as a quick heads up, I'll be flipping another action card your way when we hit the agenda phase. I'll keep one of them just in case Nom decides to keep me around so that my Support for the Throne is actually worth something to him, and frankly I want to fuck with Gnaw as much as I possibly can while I'm still alive, but the other one is useless to me, so I'll give it to you to do with as you please!
Drek/Twelve/Tapper/Nom/Tatts - if I give one of you my racial during the agenda phase do you promise to use it as soon as you can in the action phase? I'd like to try to give as many people as I can War Suns while I'm still in the game. Ideally, I'd give it to someone I'm not neighboured with during Agenda phase, have them use it, then trade to Nom or Tapper, have them use it, then trade to the other during the action phase. Thoughts?

I'm just going to have to come to terms with the fact that self-vote suiciding will forever be referred to as "pulling a JPK" now, aren't I? ~ JPK

I'm willing to use it as soon as I can and I am also still neighbouring you.

I'd like it as D'rek having it scares the life out of me, as she'll just wipe me out.
If Gnaw cannot trade his commodities with me, can you trade me 2:2?

Unless, say, you decided to park a fleet over Quann that would keep Gnaw off of it. Then I'd consider giving it to you first (or maybe second after Twelve if you'd be okay with that)

I need to keep at least one planet in order for me to remain in the game. Gnaw told me when I was running the last game that his goal was to one day eliminate a player from the game. That's why he did what he did to Twelve last game, and presumably why he's doing what he's doing to me this game.

I could probably move a few cruisers, a carrier and some fighters . Depends what the next objective is. That said you are far enough away from my production centres that if gnaw seriously wants to take quann I'm unlikely to be able to fend him off.
