Developments of the Bretonian Region

[Marburg]

The reason I get so uppity when people talk about Gaians is because they suffer a horrible lack of understanding from many people as to what they are.

So, as you guys continue to debate partitioning off the system with the Gaians as a seeming afterthought, keep a few things in mind:

Gaians may have started as a bunch of Cambridge bookworms, but after being militant for 77 years, they are NOT pushovers, they are multi-generational, & by now, most Gaians have never had the opportunity to even legally set foot on Cambridge to be the 'bookworm scientist' type... although I do see them as highly intelligent because they come from a tradition of education. That said, what they DO have currently is a little over 3 quarters of a century worth of fighting experience with minimal resourses & have successfully retarded the development of Edin & kept the system in the boondocks.

They have a little over 3 quarters of a century worth of hate for their enemies & will not ever roll over to any one of them.

& Gaia is not the end-all be-all to the existence of the Gaians it's just the epicenter of their creation & their namesake, so thinking that simply staying away from the planet is enough to make the Gaians happy well, that's beyond silly thinkin' & right up there with the 'hippy' stereotype I love to hate so much.

& the Green Front Party doesn't have to be large to make a difference...they have pundits spreading Gaian propaganda in the Bret media that gives the Gaians an advantage of civilian support the Mollys don't enjoy...but hey, they have bigger ships than we do, so whatever...I'd rather have good buzz in the street & a number of people that would aid & shelter a Gaian in their homes in a pinch than have a fleet big lumbering spaceships any day of the week.

Say the Gaians are forever uneffective all y'all like, but don't for a second think that a small group can't kick the knees out from under a bigger force & stop them with minimal effort.

Pffftt!! firepower is an overrated crutch for the weak
