ack a colleague of mine bought up the same point w/less finesse Darth. I had thought there must be a better way from reading how the dysonians were handling recovering a planet (lol other legions might do it w/style too but not have posted) by having one get it and give it to another in their legion

I do believe (however i could be wrong) that many of the Dysonians invest real world money into the game, so they would therefore have the GP available for this kind of strategy. I personally don't know all the details about the Great Dysonian War, so I can't really say how they are doing any planet swapping, but this seems to be the easiest and most direct method to me. Perhaps mojo or bobsmith will make an appearance here and shed some light on a good way to do a swap.
