As usual Davion finds the need to pick on the smallest of the houses, not only that but they send in the illiterate first.

Like the vast majority of the population of your great house? Teach your people to read before questioning the literacy of other nations.

Witches were women which knew about flora and fauna a lot. Saving that knowledge instead of killing them would give so many types of cures, but history (theists) were against such thing, because it was "God's will" to see people suffer. This means that Davions use strict anti-advance policy which leaves them with either crappy, or foreign made tech.

Actually those be wickens were the ones who knew about flora and fauna and "imbude" their medicen with the power of nature. Witches on the other hand are those who invoke the power of dark entities such as demons and the like. two different things.

And what about all the purges that go on in Capellen space, hmmm? Those are also considered "witch hunts" because your crazy leader's that they them selves see as devine will it.

As an old time House Davion fan, I really dug the original Davion sourcebook. I loved the look of the Federated Sunburst, which was the reason I picked up playing BT at all. Somewhere in that sourcebook, it said Hanse wanted to take back all the worlds still lost to the Combine after the First Succession War. The DC was a worthy opponent in 3025.

The problem with the 4th Succession War obviously wasn't beating Liao--that was a joke and at that time they were no match for the AFFS. The problem, that Hanse the smarty pants should have thought of is that you can't defend all those worlds once you take them. That means, Succession War style, it is only a matter of years before someone takes them back.

So Hanse loses more worlds, important worlds like Marduk and Quentin to the DC, and his promise of winning those worlds back for the Suns seems like hot air. He gives the Dragon times to breathe, to realize the danger of opposing the new FedCom, and they broker a deal with ComStar and the FedCom gets a rude surprise in 3039.

Fast forward to 3085 and the Capellans are more than just a match for the AFFS, the might have the better of it. Even by 3050 with the advent of the clans, the door is open to the Sarna March. The FedCom just doesn't have the troops to defend it while it fights the Falcon and the Wolf.

Long story short (too late!) Hanse should have manned up and formed the FedCom out of the Dieron Prefecture, and took back those worlds from the 1st Succession War as well. Shoulda Coulda Woulda. Now its too late.

Long live the Republic! (Mistweavers are stalking forward)

Not in the Capellan Confederation you don't. If I were you I would be looking over your shoulder for the Maskirovka agent coming to remove you as a "security threat."

Maybe I am simply pulling a "Justin Xiang" on the FedSuns. After all it did not seem to matter for that viper-traitor that he was related to the FedSuns. As for the Mask, do not worry about them they only take out undesirables.

How do you know that you your self are not considered an undesirable? Oh the joys of living under an opressive and pairanoid dictatorship must be horribly wonderfull.

Because I have not yet been taken out, Occams Razor. Better than living on the backs of those conquered by Davion.
