' Wrote:As for how powerful Gallia is, there better be some weakness to them. 400+ battleships? Sounds like their region of space is empty when it comes to resources. Be nice if the trade routes backed that up.
Twould be a better explanation of why the King is so keen on invading Sirius, rather than pure megalomaniacal villainy -- the King is terrified of his own people, and is trying to forestall economic collapse (and the coups that would ensue) by distracting everyone with a major war.
Besides which, there's nothing that says all the GRN warships are of recent vintage, is there?
(on a slightly related note, I predict an upswing in Junker salvage contracts as the war continues onward)
Other stuff. Corse/Hogosha dealings -- I could see that being primarily a hand-off deal, where the Hogosha would meet a Corse representative, maybe in Languedoc somewhere (or perhaps Roussillon), and trade the artifacts in exchange for something Gallic and expensive, such as Prometheum or fine Wine. I doubt the Hogoshans would actually go very far into Gallia proper, if at all.
All this will hopefully make Kusari more active. I foresee very long, but very profitable Gallia-Kusari-Rheinland routes.
