EoD counter-attacked in their suspected Home System with another 103 ships or 312 SSD. This was more than expected but was anticipated as my reinforcements arrived in system while the battle was in-process. All ships belonging to EoD were destroyed. Consolidation and repairs on my First Fleet continue. The first round of the DESTROY went down and it is unlikely EoD will be able to stop it.
As I wait for the inevitable conclusion of this destroy, I have started deploying war ships to my colonies – destroyers (7P/3;;/21-14) to my colonies. This had the effect of catching several of EoD’s harassment fleets and destroying them. I also have re-started my shuttle runs to increase PI production.
In anticipation of EoD’s demise, I have built and am in the process of deploying 50+ freighters to colonize his former colonies. I expect some of these to be contested by the two remaining empires. However, once I have the charts of the systems, I will be able to dispatch escorts to the most favorable ones. I plan to start an aggressive scouting campaign to identify where the current boundaries are and perhaps enjoy a period of refit, production and expansion.
