Nah, even the biggest Earth colonies didn't even come close to a hundred million people. EA could grow inside its space for centuries with space to spare.

Somehow I think it wouldn't be out of character for her to make a list on a chalkboard in a sunny living room while enjoying a cup of tea. She's... that sort of upbeat genocidal maniac, tbh.

Yeah, Mira Furlann's death didn't create any big waves, not even on SB.com. Shows how long in the past B5 (and in her case also Lost) are by now. We are old, it seems. ;):eek: As for the Earth Alliance's expansion, one thing we have to keep in mind is that there are more than one viable...

You could, if you were more powerful than the police. Which, to draw from your example, the Minbari were. They refused all attempts at surrender, but genocide had not started yet, mainly because they ended up bypassing the larger colonies and directly went after Sol.

That's not really the case, though. There was no genocide happening yet, and at the eve of victory the Minbari basically decided to go home and return to a status quo ante. Earth was insanely lucky, even though the whole war was a massive overreaction on part of the Minbari. Mind, it was an...

Great, sir! Looking forward to the next installment of this saga.

And fallout. Those will be hardened facilities, meaning you'll need groundbursts (though with knietic impactors the difference really is just academic).

It is.

I assume they'll be a mixed bag, both with regards to capabilities and willingness. And that's going to open up another bag of fleas for the Minbari, regardless of how the war will end. Because those among the client races that carried their weight will most likely end up making demands to have...

I'm pretty sure that's what he'll try to do once he has gotten a hold on the chaos that the nigh complete destruction of the standing forces has wrought on the Minbari, strategically. If there's one person who can do it, it's probably Branmer.

Chances are the first advances into Minbari territory are going to be cautious, even with all the data Earthforce has been able to get its hands on. No matter how you look at it, Earth's military strength has been badly mauled, so the most logical approach for an experienced force like that...

As tempting as that may sound, it most likely goes against Branmer's character, and more importantaly, against his desire to conserve his forces. It's far more likely he'll crack down on a few of the remaining leaders to get the rest of the Warrior Caste in line. It's just not like him to throw...

Uff, 19k words to read here, the next TLA update also due over the weekend. I see the internet has already scheduled my weekend for me. 😂

I'm not sure how much you are rewriting this, but we all know that if the Minbari manage orbital strikes with casualties in the millions all the safeties are off...

Good to find this here, and I take it as a good omen that it's the first thing I've read in this new clubhouse of ours. ;)
