Well, for the Creuss wormhole thingy, empty means no units of any kind, but it can have planets. That’s what I’m minded to go for warfare sec as well.

So it's really just "any system that does not contain enemy units" ?

I do think we should keep the same definition of ‘empty’ (unless otherwise stated) when it is used in a rule. You still can’t use the Warfare secondary to invade and control a planet, so it’s either blockading (sounds quite Warfary to me) or you use another tactical to then activate that system and invade.

Yes, you can only ever land units from space onto a planet via the Invasion step of a Tactical Action. Warfare secondary, retreating, and other methods of moving a ship into a system outside of a tactical action would only let you move the ground units carried by that ship to the space area.
We're probably best off to just rewrite the secondary effect so it says "any system that does not contain enemy units" rather than "empty" at all.

Observation: Ancient Solarian author Maya Angelou “when someone shows you the truth of themselves, believe them.” Pirates lie, cheat, steal. That is their truth. One must always be aware and watch for such activity.

Morgoth, I've placed all you GFs on Arc Prime as that's where they were produced by the dock - I don't believe that they can automatically be placed on a different planet:
59.3: 'When a player produced ground forces, he must place those units on planets that contain a unit that used its Production ability'.

Twelve, could you make sure to make your post all nice-like when you get the chance, please (and anyone else who may need to do it)? Cheers!

Welp for some reason I can't log into my laptop. That is a serious pain. So post cleanup is going to be seriously delayed.

During the exchange of promises for research agreements in exchange for the mentaks protection, there was an unfortunate incident where a rogue crew made off with... Well all the valuables of the jol nar negotiating committee. The mentak leadership send there profuse apologies for this regrettable incident and beg the jol nar to take efforts to communicate more clearly there protected status.
Mentak traders are also seeking interested parties for the trade of a commodity for tg, traders have been dispatched to Hacan, letnev and jol nar with assurances, the mentak are just peaceful traders. The mentak leadership dismiss all rumours that the goods on sale are of jol narian providence, pointing to the strong mentak jol nar research agreements as evidence of there continuing friendship.

Question: How do you tell a Mentak is lying?
Correct answer: Their lips are moving.
Correcter answer: They’re alive.
