And now there’s the other Chekhov’s gun waiting to be fired; civil war between Aphophis and Horus…

Frantic, pulp-speed action. I approve.

Good stuff here.

Rofl. The first three seasons are figuring out who we can work with among the snakes (Horus and co) to undermine Apophis’s New Order after he pulls an Order 66 on his nephew’s Jaffa (which he trained after all).

Our little Daniel is all grown up. And he has a little Abydos in him now as well. Good, let the 'modern' man die Daniel. He was insufficient to contend with powers and principalities.

It sounds like this Goa’uld dynasty isn’t going to fall apart into multi factional bellum civil just quite yet. Again, there’s more of a there there, and I like it. Horus seems like a mensch, but isn’t he a mite few millennia old for the callow and slightly naive romantic enthusiasm? It is...

Or my SithTech Hegemony in Exile could come calling. But they would probably just order a base delta zero once they understood these snakes to be this universe’s equivalent of their Mi-goa’uld fungal infestation.

Pride and Ambition, how efficient of you!

Nice cliff-hanger.

Unless the US commits to reindustrializing (and that would require disciplining the oligarchs who like the rates of return granted by outsourcing labor intensive and dirty industry), then the tech for such things will bleed to China and Russia eventually, better to face that head on rather than...

Geopolitically, from a homeworld defense standpoint, even NATO cannot afford to alienate the SCO (Russia and China). And getting them onside would help deconflict Taiwan and Ukraine, so the sooner the better methinks.

Refined white sugar hit 1500s Europe like cocaine hit 1970s America. This seems likely.

I admit I just like the image of a thunderhawk gunship sized P47 strafing the fuck out of a grounded ha'tak while PBI scatter.

This feature feels like gilding the lilly for an aerodyne dropper. Wouldn't making them fixed forward at the wing roots make more engineering sense? Giant aircraft cannon.

Oh, Star Wars was for real, ROFL! Do we get bomb-pumped x-ray lasers? He asked with puppy dog eyes...

It's not very well known, at least, I didn't know about it, but there are actually official BT tabletop rules for external drop ordinance hardpoints. Although meant for AeroSpace and AirBreathers, for narrative-game purposes I think it would be reasonable to scale up by a power of ten and say...

So... 16 x iTB-15 with a ton of ammo each and Artemis-IV FC 4 x L-AMS 4 x AMS 2 x GR 2 x PPC I guess if we not carting around a Steiner scout lance we have room for an assault-boat refit.

A man after my own heart.

Huh, suddenly I have the desire to be in command of ISD in orbit over Chulak. "This planet offends me. Helm, Guns, implement action plan Base Delta Zero. That is all."

Grenades of all kinds, overpressure doesn’t care about piercing your armour. But claymores and Willie Pete will probably be the go to for ambushing a Jaffa patrol.
