Dumping 10,000 people on a planet would work(its just really impractical to transport that many at once) You would need to land them at well dispers...

The fact that the Aurora & the Explorer class can carry 50-60 Eagles means that we have yet to see a proper full scale Alliance Attack yet. And wi...

The Best Defense Force is a Mobile Attack Force. (Why the Aurora a Cruiser could take on Battleships, it was more mobile) If you put a Defensive Sate...

Railgun rounds are Kinetic Weapons, their speed does the damage. In Space there is next to no friction, and only gravity/impact would slow the rounds ...

The A-10 is a special Air Craft, though. It can still fly even after loosing an engine, half a wing and half its tail wing. No other Aircraft could ...

Yes it would be sweet, but jump fighters kind of negate the need. If fighters can be called in from 100 light years away in the space of 20 minutes, a...

Actually that did come across adversarial, Jason, and I'm sorry about that. I guess I was focusing more on what was the same with your outline then wh...
