[quote=Theodorable] First post of the Graal Hegemony is up! Will the players of Asphodel be upset if I send a Graal scout ship to their system during this era of expansion for the Graal? [/quote] Probably, since they are located in the middle of a dark nebula. Not only would most sensors be inadequate for the task, but functionally all forms of FTL would fail in the Nebula (as indicated in Asphodel's nation sheet) - meaning all scouts would be limited to sublight. It would be extremely strange for a scout to independently survey a sector of space like that without due cause, and they'd probably have better luck elsewhere.
