Please take the time to read Luap News Flash
Cheekybuggers would like to announce therefore that the alliance is ended with three years notice provided.
Meaning that we may attack each other (or not) in the year 2459
The Luap will set CheekyBuggers status to Neutral on 2459. Warships inside remaining Wearderulium territory will have orders only to fire on enemies. All CheekyBugger scouts inside Luap territory after 2459 will be targeted. (that is if I see them  ) This is not a Declaration of War.
A few years ago, we found that the Luap's had switched us from friendly to either neutral or enemy (we're not sure which). We became aware of this for two reasons. Firstly an unarmed scout was decimated by one of their destroyers and secondly another was destroyed in crossing a Luap minefield. This was claimed to be accidental and perhaps it was ????
The minefield incident can be confirmed by the Luap. However, no Luap Warship has ever attacked any CheekyBugger vessel, armed or unarmed. Perhaps the CheekyBuggers refer to the Altoid DD attack? 
Cheekybuggers had an agreement for tech exchange with the Luap's.
The agreement went as such: Luap's were going to provide elec11 in exchange for the Cheekbuggers providing prop12. We were originally on elec6 and after many emails back and forth and numerous delays were finally given elec8 (12 x elec8 scrappers).
The Luap's were on prop6 and were given enough scrappers to get them up to prop10 or 11 (We lost track at some point).
Cheekybuggers were also generous enough to provide the Luap's with 12 x energy6 scrappers (I believe it was energy scrappers but will stand to be corrected on that one).
We didn't complete the order (up to prop12) when it started to seem like we may not get all that was agreed to.
When asked about this, this Luap's didn't at first reply. When prompted again and they finally did reply it was to impose new conditions on the agreement. We weren't allowed to exchange elec11 with anyone else.
Cheekbuggers explained that we already had an agreement with another race to provide elec11 in exchange for other tech.
Although this was outside of the original agreement we also understood their position and suggested that we could get elec11 ourselves in two turns anyway, so perhaps they would like
to provide something else.
From then on, the Luap's have been silent and have discontinued all further communications with Cheekybuggers.
Again the Luap do not contest these events. Technology trade and research has been disrupted by emergency war conditions and lack of ship slots for scrappers. We make no attempt to justify our actions and understand the CheekyBugger’s anger regarding our silence. We can only say that the threat of War has gotten out attention  , and we will open dialogue with CheekyBugger authorities again if possible.
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 !
Yet Cheekybuggers one true ally is excluding us from any claim at all.
Now this shouldn't be surprising to any other race.
With the withdrawal of the Ygrinni from the galaxy, the Luap's claimed all of that as their territory as well. Now the Weader territory is a different story altogether. 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.
Dastardly Luap?
