RE: http://www.starfrontiers.us/node/5892<br /><br />[quote=jedion357]Very Gratified to see that you had the same idea as me that the names of
the first 3 battleships of space fleet would be the names of the heros
from the war. <br /><br />I like the timeline and will conform my version of history to it. Great job working this up. <br /><br />One
point I'd advocate for change on. Canon says the Royal Guard has never
been defeated in battle. The obvious question is when? I dont think its
reasonable that this statement comes from the 2nd sathar war. And I dont
think that it would come from any of the Corporate wars. So it seemed
to me that it has to come from the 1st Sathar war. This is why I wrote
into my history project that then Captain Morgaine would urge the
monarchy to begin a military build up after his experiences in first
contact with the yazirians. So that it would be reasonable that the
fledgeling Frontier could respond militarily to the sathar. To justify
the legend of not being defeated in battle it seemed that they needed
some history; thus the Mercy Mission to Madderly's star and their being
the first combat ready ground force that could respond. <br /><br />This is
why I had them landed and engage sathar ground troops on Laco. Once the
Sathar detected the Tetrarch pyramids I assumed they would encamp near
them realizing that there might be some great boon in technology that
could be garnered from them. The Royal Guard and their hover tanks
engage and destroy the Sathar force near the pyramids even as the other
planets with PGC's industrial help are forming Ground forces for the
retaking of Laco and Pale. Can even write in that The Royal Guard
commander was under orders to hold till the supporting troops being
raised arrived but that he either as a visionary or just an impetuous
confident prima donna engaged the sathar. Naturally since he was
victorious there was no recriminations.<br /><br />New Ground Fleet Units
were being raised from scratch and were a mixed bag, with many of the
yazirian contributions being aggressive and impetuous, some of the
poorly trained human formations being used to hold rear areas as
befitting their lack or reliability, Dralasite and vrusk formations
performing about average and some human formations performing average to
good. (out of the after math of the war Ground Fleet was re-organized
as purely mixed race formations partly to eliminate any murmuring &
moaning that arose over some of the assignments given to certain
formations). <br /><br />Very likely that a PGC equipped human formation
(poorly train) was detailed to replace the Royal Guard on Laco and the
RG were transfered with the most reliable GF formations to Pale and New
Pale.<br /><br />Finally though New Pale has a light population or outpost
population, the population stock that it does have would be resourcefull
for 2 reasons: 1. they're farmers 2. if you accept that New Pale is a
world populated by Dinosaur like creatures according to The dragon
article "Volturnus Connection." I would think that a sizable chunk of
that population could go bush and survive. that the sathar cybo-dragons
might not fair so well in the jungle. Just a thought but it doesn't
really change much in your timeline.<br />[/quote]
