	Joe had long floated the concept of building a mobile destination resort and casino, made to look like a battle station out of his favorite fandom, but FTL-capable. There would be lengthy cruises, a full-time population, and every amenity and amusement possible. The station (as he continued to call it) would travel from system to system, hosting conventions and delegations, and generally just being awesome. The concept may even have been economically viable, though it remains dubious.

	While Joe's corporate empire could probably have raised venture ~~capitol~~ for the project, he instead turned to crowd-funding. He had, by all accounts, billions of direct followers, and countless more all across the [[Multi-Verse]]. Asking each to donate a small amount, in most cases about the cost of a cheap meal, he was able to raise an unexpected sum. More than enough to fund his resort and operate it for decades even at a loss.

The vast majority of Joe's workforce, millions strong, were his most devoted followers, who re-located with him. The station took only five years to construct.

	Along with building his dream, Joe purchased a fleet of "support ships" that he claimed publically would be used as "freighters, shuttles, and goodwill ambassadors" in support of the resort. Most of these ships were former millitary vessels, purchased surplus, and illegally re-armed. A considerable percentage of the money Joe raised, was used to purchase weapons through Chintaka's ~~very~~ corrupt military.

A considerable percentage of the money Joe raised, was used to purchase weapons through Chintaka's corrupt military.

	Joe now had legions of rabid followers and a fully-equipped invasion fleet. His plan, according to a few confidants who survived, was to invade and hold the Gleskel system, keep its people as hostages, and use the local population to build more ships and weapons. Ultimately, they said, Joe wanted to conquer the entire [[Gudersnipe Foundation]], despite the practical impossibility of doing so. However, it seemed most likely that he merely planned to attack and destroy the Caucuses. Without ~~signficant~~ logistical and technical support from Chintaka, he had no hope of maintaining his fleet, and their combat capabilities were dubious at best.

	When Joe's plans to attack the Caucuses became clear, the [[Crimson Blade]] (in the short story ''[[Fan Fiction]]'') immediately launched a counter-offensive, led by [[Hunter Jusenkyou]]. The attack plan called for 'a small squadron of highly maneuverable fighters to fly in below the perimeter defenses' and launch a missile strike on the vulnerable opening. Because of the intense precision required, the missiles had to be loaded with sophisticated flight software and a specialized targeting computer ~~used~~.

	While the attack failed to destroy the station before it exited FTL, they were able to take it out before it could fire its primary weapon. Owing to the superior maneuverability and capabilities of the [[Allapa Dismissive]] fighter, the strike force suffered surprisingly low casualties.

	At the age of thirty-eight, Joe relocated to the [[Darnell Cluster]], a large stellar cluster in [[Joint Space]]. Though he should not ~~technically~~ have been allowed to move to the region, owing to his status as an exile, he circumvented this by moving to a small sovereign nation, a city-state left over from the [[Mage Wars]] that had maintaned a certain level of autonomy, ~~despite being~~ within the borders of another country and on a [[planet]] controlled by a third power. Essentially, he played jurisdictional chicken and won, being able to move about freely in the region.

	He had a reputation now as a responsible businessman, owning several media companies.

He retained ties in the Chintaka system, only garnering allies in their criminal world after he'd made a name for himself.

	It was while living in Darnell that Joe made his first request to attend [[The Caucuses]]. In his rambling, eighteen-page cover letter, he ~~effectively~~ reasoned that, as the recognized head of the science-fiction community, he should have a place of honor at the proceedings.

	Over the next thirty years, Joe would continue to apply for entry into each Caucus, going so far as to use his vast army of followers to bombard the organizers with requests and petitions. The Foundation eventually released a formal statement ~~indicating~~ that Joe was denied entry because he had been exiled from Foundation territory, and Gleskel was very, very much Foundation territory. It is unclear exactly when Joe decided to attack the Caucuses, but he never stopped applying even up to his assault.
