MV or mineral value is rolled for each zone of each world, for a total of 12 times.
An empire or nation is made up of the various populations under it's sphere of influence.  A planet is not the smallest division of population.  A planet consists of 12 planetary zones, 6 northern zones and 6 southern zones.  For an M class planet, there is a flat 40% chance for each zone to be either mostly water(1-2) or mostly land(3-5) and a 20%(6) for the zone to be archepalego.  There can be an effectively infinite number of populations in each zone, potentially owned by different nations, but each settlement must be designated as "bordering" one of the four adjacent zones.  The total population of all settlements can be up to 800M for land zones, 600M for archepalego and 450M for water zones before it suffers overpopulation.

Ground Combat
     Ground combat is initiated when a military force moves into territory occupied by another nation and that nation contests the move, or when the military forces of one nation are given an attack order targeting another nation.  Each planetary settlement is considered one Ground Control Area.  Each GCA can be controlled by only one faction at a time.  In the same Zone, a faction with military units in a GCA can attack any other GCA in that zone.  In order for forces in a GCA to attack an adjacent zone, there must be no enemy GCAs on the side closest to the target zone and the target GCA must be on that side of the target zone.  For instance.  A GCA is located in Planetary Zone 1N on the east side.  Military forces there are able to attack any GCA in Zone 1N and any GCA that is on the west side of Planetary Zone #2N.  If the controling faction wishes to attack a GCA in Zone 1S, there must be no enemy GCA's on the south side of zone 1N.  A neutral GCA may block an attack if the controling faction wishes to, in which case the attacking force has the option of immediately attacking that GCA.

Combat resolution
The attacking force adds up the OCV of all units fighting and subtracts the DCV of all enemy forces.  Roll 2D6 as a percentage (eg a roll of 11 is 11%)  The die roll is the percentage of the OCV the attacker inflicts on the defender in the form of damage points.  The defender then rolls using the same procedure.  Then both players remove casualties, allocating damage points to any unit they wish.  Either the attacker or the defender can declare directed damage, dividing his damage inflicted on his opponent by 2 and allocating half the remaining points to any unit(s) he wishes.  The other half is considered normal damage.  Support units (fighters, shuttles, artillery) may only be hit by directed damage.  The owning player cannot voluntarily allocate damage to support units unless there are no remaining front-line units in the players force.  After each day of combat resolution, either player may withdraw or surrender.
