**** News Flash ****
Cheekybuggers discovers an advance fleet of Luap warships at Dharma. 
According to a quote from the minister of defense, "these Luap warships are just too close to our border and are well within range of a number of Cheekybugger planets."
She also acknowledged a successfull strike against them with no apparent Cheekbugger casualties. 
Luap's said:
"So what determines ownership? Is it yours if the CheekyBuggers agree it is? "
To be perfectly clear, Cheekybuggers is in the same position as any other race. Getting agreement from Cheekbuggers for a given planet doesn't mean that your race won't have to negotiate with other races whom have such an interest. Far from it.
The fact that we're open to negotiation does not mean that Cheekbuggers lay claim to Weader space. It does mean that we have an interest in certain planets and we would "like" to discuss the matter.
On the other hand, the dastardly Luap's force march across Weader space as if to claim it all as their own and then have the gall to demand all other races wanting to lay claim to "their" planets request approval for colonisation.
Oh yes, the Luap's did say they accept some colonisation from other races for planets that are near their borders, but still claim the bulk of Luap space as their own.
Cheekybuggers challenge this overzealous territorial claim of the Luap's upon Weader space.
After all these points raised Cheekybuggers, being fair minded, would like to acknowledge our error in accusing the Luap's of destroying a scout of ours by one of their destroyers.
There were a couple of events that precipitated this incorrect accusation that apparently caused some confusion in the matter.
We did in fact, have to review a number of previous communications to confirm this, but yes we wholeheartedly agree with the Luap's assertion.
Luap's said:
"Is it the fear of "Who is Next?"
Umm yes it is and why shouldn't it be ?
It's a fact that the Luap's have attacked both the peace loving Ygrinni and the Weader.
Should Cheekybuggers expect to be treated any better ?
We had an alliance and a tech trade agreement with the Luap's that somehow both fell over. Cheekybuggers fulfilled their part of the tech trade and then some (until we realised that there was little chance of getting what was agreed to).
Cheekybuggers, in good faith, kept to our part of the alliance, until the Luap's went silent on us (at which point we terminated the alliance for our own safety).
Cheekybuggers also note that the Luap's want only the best Weader planets. Apparently the rest of us can have the spoils (as long as you get Luap approval).
From the minister of cultural affairs:
Citizens rejoice at the small but significant victory over the dastardly Luap's. A tiny percentage of people still remain dissatisfied at their inability to import such Luap inventions as pleasure borgs and multi contained steroids, but the vast majority of upstanding and worthy citizens recognise the overwhelming benefits of standing on our own two feet.
Regards - Cheekybuggers
