This update might become/is important

As you might or mightn't know, Monet, tybunsen and AngryBirds have written another part of the Xonexian Schism of the GigaConflicts. The name: the Scramble for Mirus. Basically, the Draconid Imperium, Tybunsen Federation, Delpha Coalition of Planets and France do a massive power grab, claiming all the ex-Tyranny territories for themselves. Yeah. All of it. That means no large amount of ex-Tyranny territory for the UAE as we planned...or is it?

We, Mirusians, can't really get involved in the Scramble, so there's nothing we can do about it. However, what comes next to the Scramble can really get interesting. You see, the Waptoria and the Imperium of War already had claimed the upper parts of the ex-Tyranny territories for themselves right after the Aterro Dominatus War, and thus far before the Xonexi claimed it to be theirs.

Put yourselves in the case of the Waps: You have defeated one of the most powerfull civilizations in the Gigaquadrant, and have claimed the part of TyrannyTerritory the closest to you, a domain that you conquered alongside your allies, but still it was mainly your soldiers. Then some posh extragalactic comes in and without negotiations, claims said territory, that you, and not they, conquered. Or put yourselves in the case of the IoW: Most of the Tyranny's upper territory was once theirs, given to the Tyranny as a sign of thrust. You are busy reclaiming what is rightfully yours, when the TIAF/Draconic Imperium repels you and takes said turf over. Or put yourself in the position of the Zarbania Powers: You fight to keep extragalactic presence in your beloved mother galaxy at a minimum, when suddenly, some of the Gigaquadrant's formost powers invade en masse, openly violating any treaties just because there is a little power struggle going on between them.

Will you just stand by? Of course not. You act.

So the plan is that the Mirusians, feeling their sovereignity is threatened, put aside their differences and band up into a coalition to force out the Xonexi imperialists. This would be proposed by the patriotistic Bisarko and gladly agreed upon by the Waps and the IoW. The Waps call in their allies in the UAE, who most likely join in as well.

Now of course the Draconid and the TIAF - the main targets - are technologically advanced, more so than the Mirusians. And they have far larger extragalctic colonies than them, giving them more supplies. However I and Monet figured out that is the Mirusians share their tech with each other for the duration of the coalition, their technology comes near of that of the great Xonexi powers. Furthermore, the Mirusians have sheer diversity on their side - the Xonexi simply won't be able to predict who will attack and how. And of course, Mirus is the Mirusians home turf, so they know the galaxy's little tricks and as such have terrain advantage.

In the end, the power of both sides is equally matched. There's no good or evil here - it will be a true grey-vs-grey war. The most upper parts of the ex-Tyranny territories will be claimed by the Waps and the IoW, however the fate of the mayority of the ex-Tyranny territories is not descided yet.

So what do you guys think? Personally, I'm hyperexited about it.
