Black and White, Alliances

[Friday]

The GMG show how alliances can change, both in Vanilla and in Disco.

In Vanilla, the GMG used to be the ones running artifacts for the Corsairs, until the Hogosha cut them out (hence both are now GMG enemies).

Samura used to be the main GMG partner until they switched to Kishiro - now the GMG wants to stab Samura in the back (and I am sure the feeling is mutual!). Both GMG and Samura encourage the use of third parties against each other (Blood Dragons vs. Hogosha).

As for Discovery? Well the GMG did hammer out a formal neutrality with the Hessians. If anything the Hessians have more in common with the GMG - hostility towards the Corsairs, and a desire to see regime change within Rhineland.

As for the Gaians - now they have their own gunship they might think about cutting ties with the Corsairs, and focus on Gallia.

Infocards state that Gallic terraforming technology is not as good as the rest of Sirius - so the Gaians have a chance of stopping the 'evil' of terraforming before it has a chance to take root.

OR the Gaians could 'go global' - and exploit the Corsair alliance to strike at OSC and terraforming operations in Okinawa and Nagano...
