The Kitty Update

[Qur'chak]

Mate, why do you laugh? GMG and IMG are undeniably the richest non-house organizations. It is even hinted in the vanillia lore, especially in the GMG case. They are small House in economical output. Not sure about IMG, but its size surely would place it right behind GMG. GMG, surely, is the small powerhouse with one thing that Samura and Kishiro doesn't have - supreme independence.

If it wasn't true, both would be already crushed by their competitors. Don't forget GMG destroyed entire Rheinland fleet that dared to enter their system.

Rheinland fleet conquered GMG station in Sigma-13 and built Kruger base there, occupying the system for 80 years. As Ryummel pointed out, GMG could fight the war of attrition because Kusari allowed them to operate from Honshu, where they were safe from Rheinland forces, and supplied them, wishing to avoid Rheinland controlling H-fuel sources.

As for IMG, I'm not sure can we even discuss this seriously, because that faction received so many undeserved perks and buffs in Disco over years I don't even know where to begin with. Suffice to say Disco creates entirely false portrayal of IMG's strength and capabilites.
