[X]- ENTRENCHMENT (MORE PLEASE): Alright, you need to prepare for contingencies. Plop some fortresses down on the systems that went over to the ENEMY. This will stop the ape from launching an invasion. The fact that the fortified systems would constitute a defense from both the ENEMY and forces arriving from your rear is immaterial-- after all, the ENEMY has ghost fleets that can ninja an attack from behind.
[X]- FORM N-94 EMPIRE STANDARD ACCOLADES REQUEST: War (this one, at least)'s over. That means medals. And attached with medals comes fat stacks of moolah, plum positions in politics and corporate life, and land grants. Of course, since you are the superior officer, you get to choose who you get to promote into important posts relating to things such as 'milcorp liaison' and 'border inspector' and suchlike.
[X]- FORM Z-40 EMPIRE STANDARD EXPLOITATION REQUEST: Bring out the vultures! Bring out the crows! Unleash the carrion dogs! You don't have the people to restructure the economies of the nations, so you can get 'em from Centre. Best of all, since you're so close to the ENEMY, you can shake down the bloodless corpos with strategic denials and approvals of protection!
[x]- FORM 00-A EMPIRE STANDARD REQUEST FOR ENOFFMENT: Alright, you need to fund your men for bravery. You need to control a vast frontage of space. The solutions are found in these two problems. Get your men enoffed as provincial administrators. Let'em do what they want and when the natives complain cough and remind them who has the war fleets here.
[X]- SHAKEDOWN (MORE PLEASE): Now it's time to remind the ones on your side that breaking faith will lead to very very very bad consequences. You can't send back your prisoners, the political extremists who think their statelets deserve sovereignty, but you can invite their relations and delegations over to the heart of your power to reassure them. And threaten them. Subtly.
