Space commies? Seriously? I mean... Communism died on 10th century earth or something... Or that's what the political historian freak in Rochester bar told me once. The idea is stupid though, sure it looks good on paper, but any sane person can tell it'd just turn into a massive pile of crap if you want to actually play it out. And even them commies are not much of a communist group. If it wasn't the help of Hessians, they would've been extinct long ago. Not like anyone can survive a single fight with those bulky ships and useless guns. Their ships are just a huge "Hit Me!" sign, or were, before they changed the design. But still, even after their new shipline popped out of nowhere, they can't do much saving their own ass.
There was this one fight I remember, started somewhere in Leeds, was dragged down to Cambridge. Even though they had brought in everything they could - even an Osiris -, they didn't stand a chance. They were getting slaughtered left and right, and screaming their lungs out, thinking their screams can save em... Poor bastards.
