Path 1: Hostile takover (Roathir: Hostile Takeover) will automatically begin.

Comm Log
Quilu: Greetings. I am Quilu, former systems commander of Roathir. Welcome to Outpost Niula.
We came as soon as we heard.
Quilu: I'll brief you on the current situation.
What is this... Cerulean Conclave? Who are they?
Quilu: Rebels. Well organized Rebels.
What do they want?
Quilu: They believe that Aerlen are too passive, slow, and our policies and bureaucracy impede our growth. Of course, we disagree. We've remained strong while embracing peace with other races.
But why would they sieze Roathir?
Quilu: It is primarily populated by skilled Aerlen people. They are likely trying to get as many to defect as possible.
Then, we should probably move in soon.
Quilu: We need to protect the lives of the innocents. Diplomacy may be our best option.
There are many options to consider, Quilu. What would you like us to do?
Quilu: The Conclave cut off all communications we had with Roathir, and we're going to need live intel from the system.
We can establish some listening posts along the system border.
Quilu: Good.
Any recommendations on securing the area?
Quilu: We have no choice but to setup a full blockade around the system.
Cerulean ships are likely to be in our way during that process...
Quilu: Our hands are tied. There are millions of Aerlen in Roathir. We have to establish a perimeter first... without escalating the situation.
So how should we engage?
Quilu: Carefully. Issue their ships a warning, insist that they retreat into Roathir, and wait for them to leave. Do not disable them.
These are rebel ships! You are asking us to completely stand down?
Quilu: Even if we eventually decide that diplomacy is not an option, we are not yet in a strategic position to attack. We may decide to engage them at a later point, but now is not the time.
