<strike>Tea-pot - shaped deathstar</strike> Those mysterious ruins in Newcastle are my main suspect for taking part in .87 storyline (raping Gallia included).
Liberty striking through Taus is another option.
Feel free to PM me regarding any grammar/spelling/other language mistakes I have made in my posts.
by the time it reachest this point, Outcast, privateer and molly forces would make mincemeat of the supply lines to protect their precious resources and smuggling routes. Thus i assume the gallic warmachine would be halted in its tracks. While council and maquis slowly churn away the crowns power from within
' Wrote:So Bretonia can't research new ships to counter Gallia.A lot time would be necessary to research, build, test and keep resources stable. Bretonia have no time for that right now. All they can do is arm the population like they are doing right now in RP (20 000 civilian fighters/bombers).
If that's the case they should just steal ships/plans from Liberty just like everyone else does.:lol:

' Wrote:Liberty for trade opportunities, i.e center of sirius
Bretonia for mineral resources
Kusari for food resources
Rheinland, chose resources for the necessity.
Liberty got the cluster core because they arrived first - they picked the core for its planets, not potential trade.
Kusari picked the north for the large gas deposits there, that they believed (correctly) would contain high yield fuel.
Rheinland picked the south for the high density of heavy minerals and resources for construction purposes.
Bretonia didn't pick their location. They were damaged during the escape (you see the Bretonia getting shot up during the intro) and thus arrived late. This relegated them to the planet, trade and mineral deprived area west of the Barrier Nebula.
That said, the fact that Gallia can exist just north of Bretonia with more resources than anywhere in Sirius is ridiculous.
Gallia entered a completely seperate star cluster from Sirius. None of the four Sirian houses chose to settle there because they came upon Sirius first, and it seemed to them to be a perfectly acceptable place to settle. Basically, they wern't going to pass up a good thing just because there -might- be something slightly better up the road. Also, we must remember that the Gallic sleeper ship did not have to begin its journey in the same way as the other sleeper ships, in that it did not have to activate its hyperdrives after breaking through a blockade under heavy fire. The Gallics, who by the end of the Sol war were already beginning to suspect trechery from the other Allaince nations within the Sleeper ship project, were very careful to select a vastly diffrent rouit from the one that their Sirian counterparts had selected. Because of their aversion to landing in the same place as the Sirians, the extra time they were allotted to plan their course from Old Sol, and the fact that they traveled in space for much longer than any of the sleeper ships (The gallic sleeper ship arrived ~80 years after the Liberty landed, which, depending on the speed of a Sleeper Ship's hyperdrive, could mean they potentially traveled many lightyears further than any of the Sirius ships,) one can reasonably assume that they were able to reach a star cluster that the Sirian settlers thought was simply 'out of their reach.' The fact that the territory Gallia chose to settle had vastly more resources was just a concident, or perhaps the universe's sense of 'poetic justice.'
