WAR! when?

[Kazinsal]

Honestly, I would like to see what would happen if all Libertonian pvp-focused IDs ended up getting roflstomped and have to join the Rogues in the asteroid fields and resort to guerella warfare. I am legitemately curious how would a ''completely destroyed'' house look like, with all lanes busted, all stations wrecked, a pitsburg-esque texture given to a nuked out Manhattan.

Discovery Freelancer 4.91 - Fall of Liberty

Considering Gallia canonically had something like 200 Valors waiting to nuke the hell out of Sirius at some point around 4.86, and that fleet jumping is fairly common among even well-off secondary fleets and non-house [para]militaries, they could suicide jump fifty of them into Manhattan orbit and just rip New York apart from the inside out.

The Valor's forward gun is some kind of giant tachyon-encased antimatter projector. Even a couple Valors would be able to destroy most of the civilization on a planet's hemisphere before going down. Fifty Valors would be a quarter of the Gallic fleet and would utterly eliminate a house from within.

Personally I consider this to be a sort of plot armour, in the form of a plot trebuchet.

e: I am not counting the circa 2011 estimate of Gallia having over a thousand Valors as being canonical because that was the peak of Igiss' madness talking and if that were anything near true, Discovery's plot would have ended in 4.88.
