Kibō-hosh is Abh space

Deep in Abh space.

You see, Roman and Abh FTL has very little to do with realspace, and thus borders matter significantly less. Obviously, taking a system surrounded by enemies is a bad idea, but the Romans have significant reason to invade the planet.

I haven't stated this specifically, but Kibō-hosh is a major center of Abh trade, and most of that trade is conducted on the ground (Abh antigravity systems are dirt cheap). Kibō-hosh alse have large deposits of Referencium, which is a material needed to build and power the antiproton weapons systems of the Referencemares. If the Romans took the planet, they would have a giant army of Referencemares. However, if the Abh learn of the material's existence, they can build their own Referencemares with antiproton weapons. Referencemares are one of the things that could be used to invade a planet due to their insane OPness that Duck threw in because he hates losing with a fiery passion.

Except you would need a pretty large fleet. If I remember correctly, Rome alone brought 300 ships
