' Wrote:As someone has mentioned, the future of Casablanca in O47 is not written yet. Why Corsair should not recapture it?
Because they don't have an endless amount of forces to throw at stuff all across Sirius. Red Hessians have in RP a much larger presence in the Omega systems than Corsairs, they are both rather balanced in their trench warfare in Omega-5, and now they are both getting hit by a Wilde invasion so hard apparently that it is making them both speak of a possible temporary cease of hostilities in Omega-5 while they deal with the aliens.
If Corsairs want to retake Casablanca, then they need to take a force from somewhere else to be able to successfully overtake the larger Hessian defense force there, so they lose presence in Eta or Omega-5 or Cambridge or Dublin... etc. etc. take a pick.
Right now the RP in Omega-47 is that the Hessians are keeping just enough forces there to hold the base from a counter attack, but not enough to completely secure the system. So what Corsairs do is they run the blockade to Omega-49 either avoiding Hessian patrols or taking them head on, and some undefined number of them makes it past the jump hole to the other side.
