' Wrote:Unioners went to war against Rheinland allied with one of her enemies in the past so there is no love lost there.
A war between the two houses opens up a myriad of options for them being based across the frontline. They do not have a 'strong sense of nationalism' and the only 'comradeship' they feel to anyone is probably with the Coalition more than anyone.
They may prove to be a thorn for both Liberty AND Rheinland. They have little to lose. Rheinland will never give them what they want and Liberty will probably try to stomp them as fast as possible. Between the proverbial 'hammer' of Rheinland and the 'anvil' of Liberty you might say.
You are mistaken here. It has been quite a long time since Unioners had to quit Corsair alliance after being viciously abandoned against the military during the post war era. Most of them were either slaughtered in Bering or forced to migrate while Corsairs were busy licking their wounds. Since then they do not trust any formation that a foreign nation could offer except the Coalition. Their ties with the rest of Rheinland revolutionists have strengthened as well during this course and this increased their willigness to protect and claim the entirety of Independent Worlds and Rheinland not because they are in love with the corrupted doctrines supposed to lead the people of Rheinland but in the name of promoting a massive struggle and armed resistance to unify and mobilise the proleteriat to revolution against all odds, which is their major motivation to settle peace and equality between all classes of people.
