Great turns, Ianus! I'm glad you were able to lead Migrraar Agraff and her Honeybee fleet to turn back the Silis, and getting Controlled Dead deep into the percentages from a standing start was great!
(I think the GNN droid was confused, by the way: We actually lost 0 RP, having invested that amount, but it couldn't process the idea of a computer virus at the defunct RPL facilities wiping out exactly nothing.)
The upcoming vote is definitely worrying; I wouldn't recommend any invasions until we know where we stand diplomatically. Colonizing Primodius right under the Silicoids' rocky promontories would be terrific once we have the Rich worlds in hand if you can manage it though! (Migrraar's nine remaining Honeybee 1s won't stand up to much in the way of force though.)
I agree with the consensus that preventing the Brains from colonizing Celtsi is best if it can be done with a token force. As for dislodging the Sparrowhawk, that should only take a few 2-maneuver fighters, but more than 2....
