Phoenix glanced at the map as the icons slowly drifted across his screen. The different teams were feeding in their orders and in relative real time he was watching the different elements make their way across the map.

He tapped one of the blue icons, a Challenge icon, that quickly resolved itself into a list of ships and cracked a wry smile. Sat behind the icon was a bright yellow marker, one that heralded the arrival of the Drunken Admiral.

"Silwar, you lucky devil."

Turn 7 was completed with plenty going on behind the scenes that the different team captains can no doubt tell their respective teams. In public however, there were two noteworthy events, the first being the arrival of the forces of the Warrior at the only unclaimed world - Zaadja. We now have all worlds either held or in the process of being taken by a team.

Secondly, our resident wildcard - Sector Admiral Kamjin was found yet again by the Challenge! This time however the random card selection dealt a blow of -500 hit points. Sorry Silwar!

Team Captains will now be sending in their Team 8 Orders! A reminder that we will take a brief pause over the Easter long weekend.
