Good Read, I'll have to reread it again and clarion call just to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Just one question that's been nagging at me. It seems Earthforce isn't taking steps to fight the IPO on equal footing. Time and again they seem woefully inept, underequipped and understaffed than to be anything other than cannon fodder.

Do they field anything that can contend with some of the stuff the IPO can bring to bear?
