You get how the map is split up, yes? (map of galaxy split into quarters, quarters split into more areas).
Assuming yes. Each 'turn' within the league each team/alliance would be able to move one square. Each square is worth victory points and should another team posses that square you would have to fight them in one of the alliance battles. This would vary depending on the scenery or environment within that area of space. For example.. a Nebula would require a vendetta between two players, normal space would be planet stealing war, asserted enemy territory would be attrition..asteroid fields would require a 'no MS' war to be fought and so on and so forth...might even be able to work something nifty in to do with spies and sabbing.
The goal is obvious. To conquer the galaxy, OR.. have the most victory points within the time frame of the league (as we don't want it dragging on for all eternity and will want to re-set it every so often).
At the same time, we can also allocate special bonus' to squares. On one, maybe have listening station which means your opponent has to give you certain numbers of their stats. We could even go so far as to say that all teams must start without merlins and ppt and must discover the technology to utilise them. The possibilities are many.
Furthermore it would be good if each team was a faction.. or race.. or something akin. A lot of good role play could come out of this too.
