Blorg Stream - Qell'Nudar "rebels"

[PAnZuRiEL]

@Wiz @cKnoor During the last Blorg stream, Martin mentioned that rebels were rising up in the Qell'Nudar empire, and suggested that because they were rebels, he wouldn't be able to negotiate for their planets until the rebellion ended.

But actually, didn't they enter the war as vassals? They weren't uprisings, they were independence factions the Qell'Nudar voluntarily released as vassal empires. And as part of the war, it would be no more complicated to demand their planets than any other co-belligerent's.

...right?

Yeah I was confused about that too. The game seemed to say it was both of them.

Just making complete assumptions about what the situation was in that stream - it's possible that they really were uprisings, and the game treats them as 'vassals' until they win/lose their war so that they'll be pulled into any external conflicts.

Iirc, in the stream when Wiz hovered over the new area for a second, the tool tip that came up said rebels of qellnarda, not vassals, though that was really quick and I could have miss seen it

Wiz gave a quick explanation saying that the rebels and their parent empire are both sort of the same people. I don't exactly know how that explains the particular question at hand, but didn't the rebels revolt because they didn't want the war? They even gave Blorg an embassy showing their intentions.

What are you talking about? "Everything during this stream went exactly as planned"!

But don't be afraid, some very friendly ground huggers will visit you soon to ensure that everything is alright ...
