[18:06] SUMMARY: This galaxy's most impressive snake-oil salesman, or is there really something here worth buying? [18:06] Since the Battle for Pitstop 3, Churchill Downs and Fisher's Landing have come under infrequent Pfhor terrorist attack. As the battle over Reorsa raged, several Pfhor troop ships attempted to land on the planet. Some were destroyed, but others managed to make safe landings and debark their troops onto the surface of Reorsa. These troops are now hidden on the planet. [18:06] The troops that landed are called "Hunters," the armored snake creatures that came with them, "Hounds." Coro's crew, currently confined to the surface of Reorsa due to the crippling of our ship, has been alternating between undergoing training in Marine tactics and weapons, and repulsing the infrequent attacks by the Hunters and Hounds around Churchill Downs. [18:06] The latest attack has been a general assault on several outlying settlements, including one called Everon, where Coro's command crew was sent. We have repulsed the Everon attack, but now the Hunters are in retreat... and there's no reason we should let them get away, is there? Meanwhile, an enormous starbase-size ship has folded into orbit of Reorsa itself!
