== Fighting war targets ==

*HOWEVER, E-Uni has numbers on our side and we can form QRF's (Quick response Fleets - this is when whoever is nearby, who wishes to, can quickly form a fleet) in order to chase off (and sometimes kill) WT's from our areas (they might try to pick off a straggler or two, but mostly they are after solo, easy kills and are pretty risk averse.)... but that is beyond the scope of this post!! :D
