man the stuff gene is providing is of such quality and importance that he might end up hitched to one of yvvone's daughters. or another female davion. like seriously this level of information is going to either result in him being a duke of a decently important planet or even a very important planet/wed to the heiress of one that one of the branches of the davion's hold . or both. i mean seriously this stuff is so important that if this was 27 or so years down the line he'd be engaged to katherine
To go back to this. This is partly an issue of the Davions are already committed to a nominal plan, its not absolutely locked in, but the original arrangement with the Cunninghams to pair Alexandria and Gene up would tie Gene to the FedSuns and shore up relations with an important Crucis noble house That doesn't prevent them from 'moving on' to another candidate if it won't work but Yvonne's current suggested courtship was planned prior to well the sudden avalanche.
And of course Yvonne also doesn't want to be put in a position where another faction within the FedSuns tries to move, i.e. the Haseks.
Ah yes... the capcon... ah doppleganger's hair brained schemewell that or a world like tikonov a few years down the line. because with the kit and supplies that info is providing I foresee the suns being able to crusis death ball that planet much earlier than canon. well that and/or go take ares aka one of the few capcon yards left and one that in the present era makes danais, unions, and overlords plus the planet also makes assorted quickscell products including manticores and Bergen Industries makes the locust there. Also yes Jackson Davion got promoted stupidly fast all things considered albeit that was partially due to the fact that he's actually a pretty godamm good commander on both the admin and field side of things.
Yeah that part of the timeline is going to be... fun. Especially given Gene's opinion of things like the 'servitor' caste system...
Man I like seeing Pillagers. I love the mech to pieces, it's a jumping 100 ton mech with a coherent weapon loadout and great armor. It even looks mean.
I do too, its also why:
As has been mentioned Drone Mechs are in the cards, and the Atlas is just too new at the time of the Hegemony's downfall to roll out
but the pillager isn't, and the pillager has claws (technically they're battlefists) but well:
for reference:
and in MW2 thats clan wars, but imagine you're say one of Commodore Ostergaard's poor mech warriors and its a pillager drone coming up out of the ice all of a sudden. [and thats been an idea I've been holding in reserve for a while]

So between all the stuff Gene has found thus far by my reckoning it's probably enough kit for the AFFS to bring a good half dozen battered mech regiments back up to strength and establish 2 RCTs and bring back othets up to strength a few others with the only exception as always being the dropships and jumpships.Actually that reminds me of a good idea to win points with the Draconis March. Bring back the Tancredi loyalist brigade but as LCTs as the only new units made with the kit. As for why LCTs they're big thing was raiding/behind the lines actions and usually they didn't operate in more than battalion sized detachments anyways so a LCT fits their old style anyways.
I like this idea, [but I don't think,] simply its not a viable short term solution, unless you're just resurecting the Tancredi name.
It is a long term possible solution. Look at the manuals dug up from Robinson, refound Tancredi War College in the Crucis march and eventually reconstitute those units yes as LCTs , but you would probably still need to deploy a reconstituted 11th as a garrison unit to New Valencia, and also protect your new war college. To that end the return of the Tancredi brigades is unlikely to happen until the end of or after the 3rd succession war.
and yes JumpShips and Dropships to a lesser extent are the limiting factor and it will take a long time for that to be addressed because of how limited JumpShip production is in the contemporary period
