More on Nanking and Blake and Hall
Now that we have Nanking securely in our possession, that leaves one planet left in our sights that we can reasonably take, and Blake wants us to have it to, so that they can switch over to their control. Hall.
Hall needs to fall.
Once that happens, just three planets are left – Small World, which is not a high priority target, and the former capital of the Duchy of Small, who we have no interest in, and then Outreach and Northwind, which we have huge interests in, but could never, ever, ever take. Well ,after a bloodbath, maybe Northwind. But the planet would be roiling with issues if we did.
Hall is our top priority. We’ll have even added Zurich and Nanking to our totals.
Taking Nanking was good politics for a variety of reasons. Katrina adores it. We have removed a painful element from the Civil War and Victor’s side is down a factory and a WarShip plus some escorts. Now, we did let some Aerospace assets leave, as well as the survivors of the First FC RCT, so we didn’t hurt their war-waging capabilities as much as we could have, but it was still a huge win for us, and a big win for Katrina.
We also get in nicely with Sun-Tzu. We are close enough that he could strike at us. Not likely, but it could happen. We sell him some Davion designed mechs to make him happy, deny the Capellan March a mech factory world, and add it to an ally. That’s a strong plus.
Blake is happy. They get the contract ComStar had for the Exterminator line. That’s good too.
So, Comstar is not happy – they lost the Exterminator line, as well as our change over to Word of Blake. Victor, not happy either. And Duke Hasek is really upset,
