Summary

Space Pirates are about as old as science fiction itself, and Twilight Imperium's version are one of our favorites! This week, Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson explore the nuances of the Mentak Coalition's first round and early game.

After that, there's a LOT of errata; first for The Arborec episode from two weeks ago as well as for last week's episode.
