The resolver for a Space Battle is the person highest in the

For the initiation of a Space Battle to be EFFECTIVE, the initiator
must correctly specify the resolver.
(1) Shouldn't this be a player rather than a person? (2) What if the list
changes before the battle is resolved?
For each player, iterating over them in order of the values of the
MD5 hashes of the nicknames they are known by in the most recent
Registrar weekly report [i.e. in an arbitrary order]: Create a
Spaceship in the possession of that player.
I'm not sure initial sector placement matters that much, but if someone
disagrees, e might have time to change eir nickname to manipulate eir
position.
Also, a player may have registered after the last registrar's report.
