UPDATE SIX - Don't Tessellate So Close To Me
The Monarchy was in dire straits. Recalling all its ships back home, they built a carrier, which had a terrifying full complement of four frigates, but nothing else. Against them was arranged a Dreadnought, Battleship, and a Carrier with two Frigates.
Monarchist forces managed to bring down the Dreadnought before their carrier went down to the capital ships' fire. After that, the carrier-supported frigates of the Empire shredded the remaining unsupported Monarchy frigates, losing only one of their own. The casualties were heavy, but acceptable.
Following the battle, the Imperial Battleship bombarded the planet, wiping out Aeras' garrison forces. The Monarchy fell with the death of the King in the orbital bombardment, and landing parties secured all major cities, industrial collapse notwithstanding. (-1 planetary eco)
In the north, the Inquisition finally makes its first assault, seizing the Republic planet of Faren with no resistance. For their part, the Republic seems to be assembling a carrier strike force above Taranis, similar to the one of the Monarchy that was recently obliterated. Theirs will most likely share the same fate without support from heavier ships.
The Caliphate repairs and retrenches.

Balancing comments: I realize that it's too late for this now, but in retrospect, I should have given the central planets more starting eco. Monarchy and Caliphate should both have been (+5) planets on the first turn, or have had moons with mines.
Anyhow, now that we're at mid-game, I'm going to throw in interesting stuff.

The Monarch could have taken Celsis, used a frigate to delay the Death Star from taking Aeras, and sent a ship north to take one of the Empire's Asteriods. Or, did nothing. What. A. Waste.
had a garrison
You promised me a Jasmine Dragon T-shirt from this event approximately eleven months ago.

UPDATE 7 - Walking on the Moon
Following up their marvelous success at Aeras, the Empire attempted to funnel their surviving forces, an under-strength Carrier and a Battleship, into a second attempt at Khadir, without the staging maneuvers that served them so well in the past.
They walked into a trap, as the Caliphate had assembled yet another Carrier with three supporting Frigates, and the absence of interceptors or cruisers among the Imperial forces was a serious weakness. Even so, Battleships don't go down easily, but this one only managed to kill a single Frigate before the Caliphal Frigates dive-bombed the bridge and blew open its engine room.
The rest of the battle was a carrier duel, and luck and numbers were on the Caliphate's side, losing only one more Frigate.
On the other side of space, the Republic and the Inquisition warily circle each other. Rather than launching a suicidal advance assault, both parties gather their forces for what will surely be an apocalyptic battle.
New planets are discovered!
Caliphate - 7$/6 income
Empire - 10$/10 income
Inquisition - 16$/15 income
Republic - 5$/5 income
Map Error: Empire has 2 G at Aeras instead of 1. Consider it there.

I looked but that dealer is gone. I got a House shirt if you want it.
had no ships. Therefore, not distracted, the frigate could have started the planetary siege immediately, which, at -1 garrison per turn, would have eliminated said garrison and captured the planet.
