Just a few hours out of vmode I notice caius_da_undyin's fleet down at update. Quickly locate it at a large established ruby moon just a few systems from me. There's no movement or activity, and I've been blue nearly a year so I know he's not expecting me. Flight time is six minutes, and I have just enough resources available on location to send main attack plus recs immediately (follow ups will have to wait). So I decide to risk it and quick launch. Results below.

The attacker has won the battle !

Caius came on ten minutes after the hit. He manged to move the res off his moon before my follow ups could go through, so kudos there.

I collected all DF.

Glotr Caius.

Nice hit, a good welcome back gift wrapped up right next to your door. GLOTR to the defender!

The dead swans lay in the stagnant pool.
They lay. They rotted. They turned
Around occasionally.
Bits of flesh dropped off them from
Time to time.
And sank into the pool's mire.
They also smelt a great deal.
But, this did not affect the dynamics of the game.
