B Distracting that thing means drawing its attention to us, and that just sounds like a fantastically bad idea.

No they aren't. That statement is so incredibly off base that you've left the stadium and started working as a short order cook at Waffle House. For starters, they won their bug war super easily.

Pretty hard for anyone to own a third of the galaxy when they're restricted to one spiral arm of it. And the copro-states are as much direct competitors with Union as they are a part of it. And if you're not counting any human civ as non-union then you've got exactly one data point that was a result of a breakdown in diplomacy and not general policy. Union is massive and complex and definitely not always the good guys, but calling them crypto-fascist is uncharitable to the point of being disingenuous.

A Wizard of Goatse posted:I was talking about the Aun, actually. There's a few concrete examples of how the Union and its corpro-states deal with people in practice between the flashpoints and the sample adventure and they pretty consistent on just how horrible they are. I'm not calling them crypto-fascists, they're just plain old fascists. If the f-word upsets you, an expansionist empire of habitually genocidal state corporatists with a penchant for valuing people mainly for their genetic quantum and running little volkisch people-zoos. What's missing, Speer's architecture? My problem is that you're taking qualities of specific factions that are held apart in the source book and applying it to the whole thing. Smith-Shimano isn't Union. Harrison Armory isn't Union. If they were Union then they'd just be called that. Insisting that they are is straight up incorrect. UN/HR wouldn't exist if they only valued people for their genetics, and source material makes it blatantly obvious that there's internal divisions on what exactly to do about the copro-states. Additionally, there's a whole ideological framework underpinning fascism that makes it what it is, none of which is present at an interstellar level in Union. Expansionist hegemon does not equal fascist. You have to cherry-pick the absolute worst qualities of everyone in the setting, mix them all together, and portray it the worst possible light to even get in the neighborhood. paragon1 fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Dec 10, 2018 |

B Okafor's setup plus our own means anything short of an actual team of combat mechs is going to have a real bad time. And not that we care but the station probably doesn't need any more holes in it.

A B isn't a bad plan but I feel the need to layout an alternative. It may well be impossible to extract that many civilians quietly. A large assault in force gives us more to work with, and has a chance of knocking out all opposition quickly. Actually that gives me an idea, would it be possible to do B, but with the goal of knocking the local sensors offline long enough for an all out attack as per A?

B It's the objective we're closest to and our top priority. Worst case, we have to call in the fleet with conventional defenses active, something they're at least somewhat equipped to handle. Not to mention that the Omnigun is a threat to the rest of the system.
