I mean, that's not a bad take and it's much better than what was written for sure. If Catalyst had written that instead, I wouldn't see nearly as much red. The actual notes (Page 86, Jihad Conspiracies) states that WoB jumped an Invader in behind the Lucretia and their boarding parties were...

The entire IS consists of about 2,000 colonized systems. Knowing this fact gave me a +99 on my D% roll to disbelieve that the WoB has colonized 113,000 star systems in close proximity to each other. I passed the check, BTW.

Every time I read that it annoys me. There are over 500 G-type stars within 100 lightyears of Earth, and over 113,000 if you count other spectral star types (that's ignoring brown dwarves). The Lucretia should not have had a problem finding an out-of-the-way place to avoid the Blakists for a...
