The LC would be so fat I doubt any of their waddling Officers would even make it into the cockpit. Seriously, with all the cred they'd have earned in your scenario the LC would be using S-Bills for protection against PPCs rather than the Blue Shield Particle Field Damper. Heck, the Archon probably would have named it the Kroner Particle Protection Field.

Awsome!

Still its Jaim Magnus's universe, not mine, but I'm not sure if he investigated that angle?

Wads of S-Bills strapped to the outside of 'Mechs?! Why not? Phone books lining the inside of a car door stops bullets...

How to get everyone angry in one single post...

Lyran Commonwealth – Enlightened and liberal leaders, dedicated to the growth and prosperity of their people.

Draconis Combine – A society where common sense plays a distant second fiddle to blind obedience and often foolish acts of extreme violence

Federated Suns – A classic lesson in how a military thugocracy can appear, on the surface, to be a deeply caring and common man oriented government of the people.

Capellan Confederation – What happens when paranoid delusionals are consistently given the wheel of state

Free Worlds League – If it did not work for the closely packed Greek City States, why the hell is it going to work for societies separated by light years?

Taurian Concordat – What happens when paranoid delusionals are consistently given the wheel of state and then equipped with nuclear weapons

Magistracy of Canopus – Sex sells

Outworlds Alliance – Still exists for the same reason that Canada does: Who wants to conquer a backwater full of hicks?

Terran Hegemony – The Tall Poppy syndrome in action, or how to paint a really big target on yourself.

Clan Wolf – Ever the F****** apple polishers.  See what happens when the class bullies get their hands on you, you pack or arse kissers!

Clan Jade Falcon – Why middle children should never be given power, of any kind, EVER!

Clan Ghost Bear – The reason why we should all fear the reclusives who live out in the forests; they all carry big guns.

Clan Smoke Jaguar – Whacked out blood junkies, with a mean streak.

Wolfs Dragoons, The Kell Hounds and the Gray Death Legion – Why Fiat should be banned!

Well, outside of showcasing the delusional nature of the post's author I don't find myself angry at anything listed... :P

Consequently, it's funny how close the Taurian Concordat and the Capellan Confederation's descriptions mirrored one another. For my money, I'd have placed the Confederation closer to uneducated delusionals with a pennant for Marxism. Then again, isn't that the chief component of their continued survival? After all everyone knows that uneducated socialists sport the best cranial bombs.

Clan Ice Hellion - The meeting place of rampant paranoia, delusional self-righteousness and an inferiority complex that even the French would be proud of.

Clan Blood Spirit - Where the phrase "I'm taking my ball and going home" has been taken to the illogical extreme

St. Ives Compact - When being a minor province of the the holders of the Punch Drunk State of the Year Award (3028 through 3030), is just not enough.  This truly is Interstellar Masochism at its absolute finest.
