I at one point started working on an AU based on this- basically instead of Brenda Calderon refusing to stand up to Shraplen, she becomes the focus of the opposition- basically the bulk of the TDF supports her as regent for Erik Calderon/next protector if Erik isn't Jeffrey's son.  A small but fanatical group - the Pleiades Hussars, Pleiades Lancers and a few others oppose her and support Shraplen.  The basis for the AU was from Periphery 2e, where it says a lot of the TDF was tired of Thomas' insanity towards the end of his reign and were pleased with Jeffrey's new direction for the TDF/TC- I figure these same officers would see Shraplen doing the same things as Thomas and not want to repeat history. 

I've really been meaning to get back to this at some point...maybe soon.

Love to incorporate this into Clarion Call but not sure if it would work. I do have some ideas on the subject if you'd like to talk about.

I can't see why many Taurians followed Sharplen in the first place. The alliance with the Canopians is cool and the Capellans worming their way in I can see. I think that is why Jeffrey got killed cause he had reservations. But lets join the Star League?? WTF?! Never understood how that happened.

Irose, if you need help just let me know.  Life has me tied up right (and the THREE seperate stories I am working on simultaneously) but I'll throw my hat into the ring if you need it.

You're more then welcomed to steal it in whole or part if you want.

They followed Shraplen because the writers made the setting fit the story, not the other way around.  The Canopian alliance wasn't just cool- it was logical, you could see traces of it going back to the 1st Periphery book. The Capellans worming their way in was also logical. Jeffrey got killed because he probably in private told Emma Centrella when Sun Tzu could stick his alliance.  Joining the Star League- that should have gotten Shraplen lynched.  I mean really- the TC holds grudges like no one else, except apparently in this case...

MA - thanks for the offer of help but I think I am okay on this- I actually have about 5 pages I wrote 8 years ago and notes on where I was going- my main thing right now is that I need to recheck the canon timeline and see what needs to be tweaked. If I need any help I will let you know.

What I wouldn't mind doing is getting together with you and MA so we could mesh these good ideas together.  ;)
