I was never talking about citizens of the Coalition. They are, of course, *not* enemies of the revolution.
But "civilians" in Rheinland - what's the purpose of not coercing them? Not putting pressure on them? Not combating them? If they side with Government, they've ruled out revolution and vice versa - they are enemies. Why "save" them and their cargo and corporate profit from pirates? What?! Do you imagine that the Rheinland corporate trader, when sitting at home counting his fortunes, think to himself "oh lordy, good thing those coalition folks saved me from pirates, I'd better go join them and risk everything that I worked every day of my life for for no other reason than them being nice guys"? I don't really see the purpose in being so cuddly with stuff.
