Need a replacement for the Empyrean. They have requested we replace them as they have to abandon the game due to other commitments.
The Empyreans are in second place on the VP track at 8 VP, are about to take their first turn on round 6, and are in a position they could win. Winning will however require stopping the Nomad (neighbouring slice) in the lead at 9 VP with a good path to 10 VP and initiative 1.
The current players are on EU timezone (though not a requirement).
