What do you think would the CAAF do with an unit that (in spite of really trying it) would fail to perform its duty in a really big way (losing a Chancellor or something like that)?
Would it be assigned to a punishment unit on a permanent basis, even for their successors?
-
Don't forget the CCAF has a proud history of striking units and even ranks from its rolls given bad enough behavior.

I had forgotten that. Where did you read it?
It doesn't help me as I wanted them to be downgraded (if plausible).

Something tells me that if a unit lost a Chancellor, and there was survivors who managed to get back to Capellan space after that, they clearly didn't do their duty and sell their lives for the chancellor.
Its at this point that the public executions are scheduled.

My thoughts exactly marauder648! Survivors may want to run as far as they can as fast as they can.

Or join a mercenary unit

Yup, banditry is another option preferably in the former Rim Worlds (again get far away).

There is no escape. The Maskirovka will them eventually.

Exactly, I will say one thing for the Capellans - they are fanatical zealots who just don't quit. From Thugees, to Mask, to Death Commandos (and I am probably overlooking some other group) there are a number of pro-Liao groups who will get the avenging done here. Not good for your survivors who failed to protect the Chancellor.
You could go all out traitor I suppose and look for allies as Liao has plenty of potential enemies. Federated Suns, Free Worlds League, and Taurian Concordat all come to mind as historic adversaries who might want to help out.
Question is why would they? Hmm, what if the Davions did some sort of 'Matador' strategy say recruiting these guys to core a mercenary or regional unit of the Sarna or Capellan March to draw the ire of the Confederation. Sort of dangling them out there as a target when necessary to draw Liao attention elsewhere when needed.
