Resulting crossover thought: Bit of the Clan Invasion Fleet runs into Niadra who's here because blowing up the Protoss warp drive mid-trip sent her spiraling off in strange directions, her abandonment issues rise to new hights because the Jump Drives scramble her telepathic control. So there's...

They intentionally sabotaged the basic habitability of planets so that any interruption to trade with them would near-certainly kill every inhabitant outright. And as we see with pretty much every post-industrial atrocity, at this scale there is no evil that cannot be rendered impersonal to the...

...You do know that most of the reason the end of the Star League was so catastrophic is because they went out of their way to destroy all industry not dependent on the Terran Hegemony they could remotely get away with, right? As in "specifically made sure to ruin Taurian terriforming equipment...

Maybe "next door" to a typical blacksite for "hide it even from our own skunkworks" purposes. Have the blacksite working on terraforming, send the to-be-replaced but still-serviceable equipment one more jump in the boonies away, then have a fraction of that site's future resources diverted to...

It's still an example of the technical ability, for all it was a ludicrous improbability. Him appropriating exceptionally low-personnel farming equipment "off screen" that was quietly essential to the Exodus by keeping it from starving while they worked out the food supply would not be remotely...

Even just a 50-year project of quietly building up a fortress with the SLDF black budget and/or Cameron house funds could easily get a Castle Brian'd planet with how many random officers could authorize the things for caches. Something like the son or daughter of a sibling of Johnathan Cameron...

One, Kerensky did exactly that, relative to Inner Sphere population numbers, and the Clans are still rather extreme about pulling off shit they really should not have the demographics for. Two, a longer-term "out of the way" bolthole setup trickling in said troops as available to gradually build...

Fully literally Royal-specification Newgrange as a mobile shipyard to house a Periphery-managing branch as the last line of defense should shit go south on Terra would be pretty nice. Refurbishing Kerensky's fleet inbound to fuck Amaris but pointedly staying away from the fighting in case the...

So, over on QQ I've been prodding a few things regarding JumpShip tonnage numbers. Did you know the "skeletal" cost between a minimum WarShip and the maximum is only 3.5x for the 25x increase in mass? Did you know that WarShips with maximum DropShips have a ~15% drive-to-mass ratio? In very raw...

IIRC, its low speed is, doylistically, a case of "idiot proofing" for the maneuvering rules in the same book, making it unable to take a sharp corner turn fast enough to knock itself over.
