Based on the thread and polls on this matter, this is a draft of the new Invasion Rules. I hope that after Valen we can get a trial happening and give these a thorough testing.
New Invasion/Campaign Rules Proposal Draft
At any stage a major faction may declare war on another major faction provided it is not the attacker in another ongoing campaign. Multiple factions are allowed to declare war on a single enemy faction provided the attackers are allied (with an IC thread setting those terms) beforehand. A defending faction may call whichever allied factions it wishes into the war.
Before the declaration of war attacking and defending major faction leaders must discuss OOC the timing for the start of hostilities and if there are any special conditions they wish to negotiate. Neither side has a veto or filibuster to stop or delay the war: this discussion is a courtesy. If OOC issues are delaying the campaign an RPJ should be consulted.
There must also be an OOC thread created mentioning the attacking and defending factions in the title and the phrase ‘Declaration of War’, eg “Sith Empire Declaration of War on the Republic”. This thread will handle the OOC posts and comments for the campaign. It will also set out any special terms agreed on by the respective faction leaders.
Once war has been declared both sides may start any number of invasions of enemy planets with the following condition; the target planet must be within one map hex of a friendly planet. If a planet is invaded successfully then this new conquest can be used to measure distance for future invasions.
Important Note: All Invasion threads must be labelled with your faction’s name, the planet being targeted and the defending faction. For example "The Sith Come to Kashyyyk: Sith Empire Invasion of the Republic"
Individual characters may not participate in more than one invasion at a time. If an invasion the character is in concludes they may move to another.
The ‘Requesting Aid’ rules are unaffected except that up to 10 characters may assist a faction for the campaign. These individual allied characters cannot participate in more than one thread at a time.
In order to claim victory in each invasion thread, the attacking faction must fulfil all the following criteria:
If the attackers are victorious, the planet passes to them. If the defender is victorious they retain complete control of it.
There is no time limit on how long a campaign can last. Peace must be signed IC. A peace treaty prevents the faction declaring war on that same faction for 30 days.
Please post if you see anything that needs correcting or changing. I have made these rules comprehensive to try and limit any loopholes or confusion. I can produce a TL;DR version as well once this has been agreed on.

In order to claim victory in each invasion thread, the attacking faction must fulfil all the following criteria:
- At least 5 unique members. Allied or minor faction members do not count.
- At least 100 posts in the thread.
- At least one post within the previous 48 hours.
- The thread has not gone for longer than a month (without prior agreement between both faction leaders).
If the attackers are victorious, the planet passes to them. If the defender is victorious they retain complete control of it.
There is no time limit on how long a campaign can last. Peace must be signed IC. A peace treaty prevents the faction declaring war on that same faction for 30 days.

. I think we think alike.
