Honestly now, this is becoming quite irrirating in the half-awake-half-drunk portion of my logic centre of my brain.
The KNF have taken vital resource points in a core system of Bretonia, they've laid siege to Planet Harris, they've stolen the keys to the jump gate to Tau-31.
Yet they can't steal a construction site in Tau-23?
Please tell me the KNF are just scared to death of the background radiation? Or is it the rocks?
Is there a logical reason as to why a rather strategic resource point is still in Bretonian hands while being so far away from the supply lines?
because that section of tau-31 is actually under BARF| control.
the gate/lane section of tau-31 is under KNF control
BAF| is trying to encircle KNF from the BAF controlled area
the lore states that BAF| is current winning in tau-31 but losing in leeds
that and they would have to deal with fighting CR/OC who do not want to see KNF entering
note that kusari has easy access to tau-23 using kyshu

but thats just the story, if i was KNF i woulda just blown up the station to halt BMM's mining operations altogether

also nobody said the kusari emperor was smart
the main reason is probably this: CR would side with BAF against kusari in tau-23. though BMM has a bad reputation, it is only a corporation, if KNF wants to bring thier military, its a huge threat to CR
that, and KNF would still suffer problems with BAF attacks, and it cannot fight a 5 front war.
So if KNF defeats bretonia, they can take out CR and IMG singlehandedly in tau-23
[color=#FFFFFF]Tau-23 is a bit more complicated than that. It is not a direct border with Bretonia and seizing the jumpgate might be considered as an interest in the system and quite frankly there are a lot of interests there as it is, Outcasts, Colonials, IMG, Kusari pirates, Gallic peeps.
