Wow, two new pages and I only went to shoot some stuff for a few minutes. :| Anyway.

And what, exactly would that accomplish? It serves no Military Objective, it's usefulness as propaganda is limited at best. Considering it would easily be turned into counter-propaganda by the houses stating we're robbing the people of their life-style and kidnapping people. If I really need to explain why this would be bad for us, then... wow.
Quote:On another note, Felix and I were both commenting on how we think it is a bit strange that the SCRA's goal is to bring the People's Revolution to the Houses, yet they spend a huge amount of time and energy targeting the poorest of Sirius's major groups.
You mean the ones that are pirates, highly aggressive, and tend to target the Civilians of the houses? I really don't see why I need to explain this either.
I'm amazed I actually have to spend so much time justifying the Economic and Strategic Value of disrupting the Artifact Trade. Not only can it double as propaganda, but we disrupt the economy of the Corsairs, and by extension disrupt its Military which helps the Coalition in its war with the Corsairs.
People seem to think we're either a Military, or Revolutionary Group. We're both. We have both Strategic Military Objectives, as well as objectives to gain the support of the people. Disrupting the Artifact Trade falls under our Military Objectives, but it can still be used as minor propaganda to gain the support of the people.
