Starsector Pt. 28 - Grand Theft Space Elevator

Taking advantage of a Persean League attack on Eventide to raid it and steal the Fullerene Spool off their spaceport, which is an item that grants a massive +30% Accessibility bonus -- same as upgrading the port to a Megaport would give!

This raid works because the League, boasting 2 Pegasus-class Battlecruisers in addition to a host of other vessels, managed to knock out the Battlestation orbiting Eventide and wipe out many of the fleets with it. I took the chance to raid Eventide (with my Transponder off, of course, so the Hegemony wouldn't recognize me) and disabled its Spaceport and Stellar Reflector Array, which simultaneously cut off outside supplies to the ground-based Heavy Batteries that were making the colony so resistant to raids, and boosted the planet's Hazard Rating while cutting its food supply. Eventide is gonna be a craphole place to live for a while, but this gave me the opening I needed to swoop in and steal the Fullerene Spool equipped to Eventide's Spaceport. Now I get to put it on my own worlds! And I know right where to put it -- on my first Forge World, Barathrum, in Gaia's star system.

I also get involved in some risky space battles to protect my territory from Tri-Tachyon commerce raiders. It's a hell of a fight, though. They brought a lot of dangerous and very fast high-tech ships. However, those ships generally don't have the firepower to solidly deal with my Battleship or Battlecruiser.
