A Policy of Escalation
1. Collect Demand: Take 1 Weapon, Fuel, or Material from each Regent, even you, and from each Outlaw with a Loyal city or Flagship controlled by the Empire. Place it in the Imperial Trust on your First Regent tile.
If they have none, take 1 agent from their supply as a Favor. If a Regent has no agents, you may make them an Outlaw.
2. Imperial Action: Place 4 fresh Imperial ships in an Empire-controlled system. If there are none, place them at a Loyal starport.
Act: 3
A: No. You have to try to give the maximum amount prompted. So if it has a Weapon but no other resource, give a Weapon. If it has no Weapon but it does have another resource, give the resource.
