Dessanu Consonance

[psychoticbob]

Just looking for a teeny tiny bit of help with this one.

I got REALLY lucky with my L-Cluster research in this game and wound up with Dessanu Conosance. Not the first time I've gotten this lucky but I cannot seem to annex any of their systems. In other games where I've dealt with DC it was a simple matter of bathing their planets then surveying the systems and then annexation. This time around however I'm not able to bathe them.

Do I really need to take their planets the old fashioned way with orbital bombardment? That's it. That's my only question.

(I not opposed to OB, I just REALLY don't like to do it if I don't have to.)

Thanks!

EDIT: I just tried to orbital bombard a few of their planets and nothing is happening. They are hostile and will no longer talk with me. I cannot figure out what I am missing?

Land armies on their planets. ^^

LOL!

Never mind. I figured it out. You HAVE to wipe out their forces in their forbidden system. That causes their entire empire to collapse making surveying and annexation possible. I am now in the process of doing both.

I thought their systems worked the same as other empires. Simply defeat their forces, bathe their planets and annex their systems one by one. Hopefully I'll remember this the next game I get them. I am so use to getting The Contingency all the time. LOL!

The Dessanu are actually just a more peaceful Grey Tempest.

In fact all 4 outcomes are part of the Grey Tempest time line.

First you just have the Grey Tempest rampaging about.

After thousands of years, the Grey Tempest realises it can't get out and tries to do something else, like emulating it's creators.

Each world how ever starts to develop it's own conciousness and eventually each of them turn into an L-drake.

After a long time after the L-drakes roam about and sometimes fight each other, eventually only one remains. Which end up being Grey (who you can recruit) who being bored out of it's mind, has long periods of hybernation.
