Another thing I figure... When our heroes get into space, they have a slight but crucial advantage when they discover the properties of a vacuum and how to fly inside it, because everybody else uses inertialess drives in their spacecraft and have been using them for hundreds of years, and so many enemy pilots don't know the difference between atmospheric and space combat. The only ones who could prove opposition are the Sagussans, due to genetic improvements, and the Volunteer Earth Defence Force, who are probably more familiar with space physics.
