Not exactly Alvin. There's a small spreadsheet in the development section somewhere that actually has the relative strength of relevant factions set. Can't dig it out right now since I'm at work and don't have access from here...
The issue here is the ability to engage in a sustained conflict, not a faction's capability to pull off a hit-and-run or snatch'ngrab. Terrorist and piracy actions aren't the focus here.
Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.
Mostly retired Discovery member. May still visit from time to time.
