Future of Kusari

[Gentlefood]

Well actually once they attack Kyushu, since they are no longer in Bretonia or French/OC/IMG infested Taus, the Exiles could start constructing shipyards there to begin constructing new battleships and cruisers. Sure, their military still won't be able to properly stand up to the KNF, but it's a start.

I don't think you properly appreciate the amount of time, manpower, and resources involved in making a shipyard that is capable of producing military grade ships let alone capital craft. Additionally, do you really think Gallia would /let/ them just set up shop in Kusari space?

You could also take into consideration that the Exiles will probably secure some form of covert support from the Bretonians, or even the Libertonians for that matter. In my opinion, it seems Kusari is under the Gallic sphere of influence. Even if relations are "neutral", the two countries are trading and since Gallia is the country that is self - sufficient (and doesn't use h-fuel from the GMG), Kusari is the one that is dependent on Gallia. Hence, Liberty and Bretonia could secure covert support by constructing new battleships and what not for the Exiles in their territories in secret. If the Exiles remove the Kusari government, then Bretonia and Liberty gain a new ally in their war against Gallia. It's a long term plan, but its possible. So the Exiles might end up having more capital ships after all. I can totally see the Kusari Civil War being a conventional one rather than the Exiles being an insurgent force like the Blood Dragons due to their lack of military hardware when compared to the KNF.

I don't really see Bretonia manufacturing anything that isn't for their own, very frantic, defense. Let alone even being able to make something like a Capital ship. Liberty might build a few things for them, but I still see that as unlikely. Liberty likes to just be the strong arm of the spess law, keeping other factions weaker helps them. Kusari really isn't dependent on Gallia, it just can't fight Gallia.

Tel Aviv, I don't think Rheinland will be able to support Kusari in their civil war because Rheinland is already slowly losing the war against Liberty inRP. I doubt they would want to divert more forces against the Exiles and deploy Rheinland troops to Kusari. I do however, think that it may be possible for Gallia to intervene on Kusari's behalf, supporting the KNF against the Exiles since the Exiles are allied to the Bretonians.

The war against Liberty isn't. Meaning that besides all the show in the server neither side really is trying to wipe out or invade the other. Liberty wants some of Rheinland's nomnom research and Rheinland wants to prevent Liberty with playing with aliens that nearly destroyed Sirius. Right now that conflict has reached a head with Munster out in Bremen where inRP most of the fighting would be taking place.

Rheinland doesn't need to divert forces to Kusari anyways, since inRP they're just building ships for Kusari. However Rheinland has a lot of interest in seeing the newer Kusari government successful due to economic concerns. And I can assure you, Gallia isn't stupid. They're not going to let a minor annoyance become a serious problem, they'll just stamp out the Exiles should they try anything stupid like building a shipyard in open space or take over Kyushu.
