With this episode, it goes over the aspects of space combat as well as how to go about engaging in planetary invasion and conquest for the game Star Trek Ascendancy.  Since Star Trek Ascendancy is a 4X game, this episode goes over the expansion part of a given faction and the extermination of another within the game.  There are also some terms that we would like to include here to help you understand certain aspects of the game.

 - With a Successful Invasion, it is when an attacker scores more hits than there are nodes found upon the planetary system.

 - With Collateral Damage, it is when an attacker scoring fewer hits than there are nodes found upon the planetary system.

 - With Total Annihilation, it is when an attacker scoring hits equal to the nodes found upon the planetary system, include the control node found upon it, if present.

 - With Hegemony Resistance, it is equal to the number of structures found upon a planetary system plus the Ascendancy level of the faction that controls it.  But if its an independent system, then leave out the Ascendancy level aspect of this.
