Titan - No, you have not yet developed the UE cruiser. You can start research and then build it, though.

The UE helped us to complete the uprising at Hinavar, we can't betray their trust by stealing their secret plans! Besides, that won't be necessary. The UE fleet is remaining in Hinavar, and I've just recieved word that another UE fleet is on it's way to Obron. If they succeed in taking the system, our system will directly border UE space. That way we'll have the advantage of UE border patrols able to assist us if Hinavar comes under attack from the Voinians. And from there, retaking Gamur can be our next step. After all, a permanent alliance with the UE is far more valuable to us than a temporary one.

Meanwhile, Thunder got word that construction the extra Voinian Cruiser as well as 3 Heavy fighters had been completed. These ships were launched and added to the fleet guarding Hinavar, bringing the total in orbit to 4 cruisers, 7 frigates, 18 heavy fighters, 5 UE fighters, plus the UE fleet. With a force this strong, Thunder decided to send a message to Titan.

I have recieved word that your are preparing for an attack on Obron. If your fleet gets into trouble and you need quick reinforcements, don't hesitate to call your allies the Hinwar. We have a small but determined fleet of warships, all of Voinian design, and we could send a few of them to help out your fleet at Obron if necessary.
Thunder out.

Out Of Character: It's not generally considered a good idea to control another government than the one you're working for. In other words, you can't invent a secret UE project unless you're a UE player.
