Skirmishing at Yoruba

With the East still running itself and slow but steady progress being made the main focus of the war was in the west and south west.
In the south west the arrival of Ipsha reinforcements gave teeth to our assault and allowed us to finally move on from the Silver Cluster. The Ipsha had swept round in the very southern edge of the map removing nearly all traces of IA apart from 1 world in the far corner that was a bit too far to bother with. Unlike Silver (near a gate and with strong IA worlds/fleets backing it up) these worlds couldn�t really mount a defence and I think the IA quickly saw that and didn�t waste ships trying to.
There remained a cluster of about 4 big IA worlds to take which would have given us a big natural border against the IA (was a strip a couple of 100ly wide with no planets in it). Our forces started to assemble just past Silver to deal with this. IA ships were rushing down at max warp to reinforce.
In the West the IA fleet from the Drakh world was moving on towards a major Earth world � Yoruba (with the expensive mines Earth worlds took forever to develop � but when they did they were significant). Earth forces gathered to defend it supplemented by Ipsha fleets. A further concern was that if Yoruba was lost the Enemy would be only 3 years travel from the Earth homeworld � the homeworld was responsible for about 40% of Earth ship production. To help defend it I sent a number of speed bump layers (the extra year would be sufficient for me to build and send ships if required).
Facing Yoruba was the IA world Hoof and Mouth, over the following years a large IA fleet to mirror the VA fleet at Yoruba formed. From time to time skirmishers from one side or another would clear mine fields and the big fleet would menace the opposing world but neither side ever made the final move.
