M Fnord Wrote:Seventh, do you really want to start a Fen-Earth war? Seriously, as written your 'not strong military presence' would spark a war, because it's a blatant show of imperialistic force that multiple NPC and PC factions would oppose. I mean, if this passed as written I'd steer the Soviets away from exploration and towards ejecting the Navy (not to mention the Roughriders) with all due speed and by any means necessary. Is that really what you're aiming for?
It had been two months since the USN had used mass-driver weapons to destroy Arisia Station, the White Tower, Port Phobos, Starbase 1, Mos Eisley, Coruscant, New Yavin, Stellvia, Gagarin Base, Black Mesa, the Crystal Cities, and other major Fen installations.
Sora Hasegawa had assumed control of the VVS and StellviaCorp by right of being the only executive left alive in either faction. The two other remaining war leaders were putting her first plan into effect: Cal Calrissian was riding a space rock outfitted with the largest Grav-Master yet seen, and Erin Simmah was waiting at the controls of the Avenger to take him off the rock when it became too late for the 'Danes to do anything about their operation.
At 12:00:07 - two months to the minute after the destruction of the 37 Fides research base - the space rock would impact, and Arlington would be no more.
I'd call this a Bad End for the entire "Fenspace" writing project...
