I believe that may have been the only other time it has been destroyed since. Had fought off a large fleet earlier in the day or so I heard.
=CR= was disbanded as you may know (not sure how long ago you left), but a few people decided to restart it as the CR| you can see today. I somehow got thrown into the HC straight away, and have effectively been running things for the last few months while Dane is without internet. I'm actually kind of surprised just how active we are at the moment
You can of course see bits of the old =CR= group around, and they've also reformed as the =VG= Vanguard Fleet, who have an infrequent but powerful in-game presence
As for Fallen Grace, the Colonial/Order strike force managed to disable the Chant to weaken the emergency response for New Paris, broke into the Palace and almost assassinated the King if it weren't for the marechals and I believe a bit of Nomad/hybrid/Oracle intervention. Reaper was also doing that Adama planet-dive thing from the New Caprica reclamation (if you watched BSG) with the Sovereign. Conclusion: King is a bit distraught but very guarded, Tau-44 is protected by GRN sympathetic to the Colonials, the incubi presence within the GRN ranks is somewhat reduced, and the Council is pissed for not getting invited to the party.
Hey, cool beans. I was.. What? Sixteen when I left? Safe to say ; no more. I've been prodding around a bit to get some opinions, mostly Gallia focused. If you feel like a chat, just toss me a PM on these forums (as soon as I figure the system out) or chat up Murphy or Fran to get my skype id. I'd like to hear as much as I can.
