"CAPTURING PLANETS"

[:: Legends Of The Jedi ::]

There are two ways to capture planets: By military force or by getting the
public to like you a lot more than the current government.

By Military Force

To take a planet by force, your military presence there must be at least 50
more than the current government's military presence. In practice, this means
you'll need to both lower theirs and increase yours.

Blockading a planet will do both of these over time, but it can take hours to
move the numbers enough with blockade alone. To speed up the process, depending
on your clan's morals, you can bombard the planet from orbit, kill police, or
kill citizens on the planet.

Good clans should probably stop at killing police, but if you're an evil clan,
you'll find it fastest if you do all three of these actions. Bombardment and
killing citizens significantly lowers the planet's public opinion of your clan,
but fortunately for you, this isn't a factor for military capture. The planet
may hate you for weeks to come, but just keep your military presence there high
for a while after you capture it to offset the effects of this.

By Public Opinion

If your clan's RP is more focused on being benevolent, you will find it easiest
to capture planets by swaying public opinion. To capture a planet this way,
their opinion of your clan must be 50 higher than their opinion of the current
government, and your clan's military presence must be at least equal to that of
the current government.

Swaying public opinion may be the easy part. If the planet dislikes the current
government already, it might just take a bit of propaganda, either for your
clan or against the government. Increasing the crime rating (with inspirecrime
or by bribing police) is another way to help this along nonviolently.

You will still need to at least equal the current government's military
presence, however. This can be achieved by keeping up a blockade, which does
not negatively impact public opinion of good-aligned clans, and killing your
enemy clan's police mobs when they spawn every 20 minutes.
