Claim of Naboo

Conquering planets can happen in a variety of ways, all depending on what kind of resistance is met. The following are how to conquer planets under different scenarios:

Planet has space and land forces/facilities
If a planet has both space and land forces, they must all be destroyed before the conqueror can lay claim to the planet. Before a player/faction can conquer the ground, they must first conquer space. This would simply mean destroying all the space forces, or having them surrender/retreat. Once the space forces are gone, you can then land troops and vehicles on the surface and wipe out the facilities and ground forces. In a straight out fight, all must be destroyed, both facilities and infantry/vehicles. If the planet being conquered surrenders, then the conqueror may lay claim to the planet. The terms of surrender can be up to the two parties involved, and the fate of the remaining forces of the losing party can be determined via the Holonet.

Planet has Only Space Forces
If a planet only has space forces, meaning no facilities, infantry and vehicles, then the conqueror can lay claim to the planet from orbit.

Planet has Only Ground Forces
If a planet has no space forces, meaning ships or stations, then the conqueror must land troops and destroy the land forces, unless the planet surrenders.

Planet Has No Forces
If a planet has forces neither on the ground or in space, then a conqueror(only faction, not individual player) can claim the planet from orbit. However, the player them self must be in orbit of the planet in question and not just NPC ships.

How to Lay Claim to Conquered Planets
Laying claim to planets occurs in the holonet, that way it is guaranteed that all players can see that the planet is to be claimed. To lay claim, create a post in the holonet with the following info:

Player and/or faction Name
Planet Being Claimed
Combat (Yes, No)
Surrendered (Yes, No)

Now if a planet was defeated in combat, or the planet surrendered, then the conqueror can create the post in the holonet and the planet's ownership will be changed over by an admin. However, if the planet was one that was claimed to that had neither combat or surrendered, then when the conqueror posts in the holonet, the current owner of the faction has 24 hours to retaliate. This includes sending a ship to hyperspace to the planet in question. If this occurs, then the claim is invalid and combat or surrender must occur.
