RE: The sanction of the Hess/Bret Combined Forces BattleGroup

[kikatsu]

I suppose that the loss of so much equipment and the general chaos around this event is meant more as an embarrassing measure of punishment rather than the normal administrative responses of stripping the ships themselves or beaming them to Bastille for a week.

Or as a way of deflating the supposedly ballooned economy.

Either way I guess it is worth saying that there is a chance for those stuck in the Omicrons to get back without loosing equipment, just log in at non-peak hours.

Still, the punishment is strange. The situation that spawned it was crazy with the sheer amount of Hessians that were brought in, a good chunk of them being battleships.

Personally I think the Hessians should never have showed up there. Bretonia is in a state of war, and is loosing resources, it would make sense if they had to make a tough call of either blockading the station or defending Leeds from Gallic attacks... Liberty has stepped up to help but no other groups besides the Exiles really offer the kind of military support to knock out the base, save for maybe the Mollys, who are the unlawfuls that should have shown up to help destroy the base.

But as a result, I think we both know what is going to happen...
King's Cross will be assaulted by a combined Corsair and GRN fleet. As long as they do not group it is legit, yeah? :sleep:
