The grab is now on for the Weader planets. I would normally expect to negotiate a deal with an ally over planetary rights but the Luap's have pushed right across the Weader territory to
apparently claim it all as their own.
The only three races that truly have a border with Weader, are Luap's, Nexus and Cheekybuggers.
Nexus and Cheekybuggers are currently in negotiations for planetary rights and contrary to popular belief, we are not even allies !

What your message seems to be is a statement of intent to wage war against the Luaps and the Weader. That makes you the aggressor in this situation as far as I can see. However, your relations with the Luaps is your business. Although it's useful to know, it has little bearing on what I see as the real concern, the parceling out of the (leaderless) Weader empire.
I am a bit surprised at your eagerness to grab more planets since your empire already controls the largest area of space and you have a considerable amount of uninhabited planets within that space. I had not planned on attacking the Weader as they have been friendly with the Altoids, but in light of current events it would seem that it's only prudent to get involved.

Since the Luap's have chosen to leave themselves out of the negotiations, they don't have a choice in what planets remain theirs. Any planets that Cheekybuggers negotiate for with Nexus
will, if necessary, be taken by force from the dastardly Luap's.
What Nexus do with their negotiated planets is up to them and is none of our concern.

My biggest concern is that you seem to have already claimed the entire Weader region as your own and have decided that it's up to you and Nexus to decide what is to be done with it. Your claim is based on the perception that only you, Nexus, and Luap have a border with the Weader. As James has already mentioned, this is untrue. As far as I can tell only race that doesn't have a shared border with the Weader is the YapYaps.
Therefore, since you did not include the Hirota and the Altoids in your discussions I don't see how you can give your claim any more validity than that of the Luaps. If anyone attempts to claim Weader planets close to/within my borders without contacting me about it first I will take it as an act of aggression. Now if you wish to involve the the Hirota and the Altoids in your discussions I will be happy to participate in working on a fair and even distribution, since diplomacy is preferable to violence.
