Fifty hours later, eleven of said fleets have been suborned, destroyed, captured, or forced to flee - with the hopes of the last two making it out in any condition to cause trouble for anyone else in the near future being very, very low. It's so impressive that a ''Custodes'' gives Weaver the Emperor's Thanks and congratulations for her victory ''in person''.
