4.5  FIGHTER MOVEMENT - The MOVEF action is used to move fighters between systems that you own. The systems must be adjacent. You cannot move fighters to systems you do not own. Your current fighter tech is the maximum number of fighters that may be moved with a single action. The cost is 1 BP per fighter. Fighters are always stuck after any move (the system into which they move becomes sticky for cruisers as well).
Format  [ MOVEF ]  [ WHERE FROM ]  [ WHERE TO ]  [ Number of FIGHTERS ]

4.6  "ALL" & "ALL BUT" ORDERS   Two additional formats are allowed in the "number" box on move and attack actions to move "all" or "all but" a given number of cruisers. The format for "all but" is AB-NUM (eg. AB-1 is "all but one" and AB-2 is "all but two"). A number of zero is treated as "all but none" (ie. "move all").

4.7  BOMBARD   The BOMBARD action is used to wear down the defences of a planet so that it may be captured later. BOMBARD actions are allowed only against planets, and only from cruisers in the parent star system. Multiple bombardment actions are permitted in the same turn. For each BOMBARD action the defender loses one cruiser, one fighter, and anything from five to nine of each of population and industry. The cost is  2 BPs.

Note: Bombarding a planet from orbit is easy: you just throw asteroids, meteors, stray comets or whatever other rubbish happens to be lying around.

4.8  MOVECOL   The MOVECOL action moves colony ships from "Where from" to "Where to" (the systems must be adjacent, and both systems must be owned by your own empire). Colony ships are always stuck after any move (the system into which they move becomes sticky for cruisers as well). When a colony ship moves it also try to take some fighters (if there are any present) along with them, up to the limit of your Fighter Tech. The cost is 2 BPs per ship.
