Indirect you to the whoops alternate timeline because that was the capcon motivation there EDIT: Sorry no that was trying to see ifthey could snatch dieron in that timeline not northwind what i get for reading the post on my phone while at DNDIt might leak out to the Capcom once they are told and thus they may attempt to launch an attack to retake the planet and to also get the shinies.
It would likely backfire.
Hey now that you've killed that descendant of Amaris could you come to New Avalon for a year, we'll make it worth your whilei wonder when Gene is likely to get a massive contract to be a opfor for a academy or something
Nods. Just ignore the hordes of young single noblewomen who really want you and that said contract will deliver you into the metaphorical lionesses denHey now that you've killed that descendant of Amaris could you come to New Avalon for a year, we'll make it worth your while

so here's the question. How will the Inner Sphere and for that matter the Clans take the proof that back in the day the drac cooperated with Amaris.
If nothing else I predict basically no SLDF descended merc units will want to work for the combine which will hurt.
Also Gene should probably be helping the ELH readd their 4th regiment if he can at all help it via either salvage or a cache. Lord knows he lacks the lift or manpower to take advantage of all the salvage from Dieron if nothing else.
At present, the Highlanders should have probably only learned of Elidere IV (particularly 1/19Gal's destruction by combined arms) relatively recently Dieron, and the units involved shouldn't be militarily common gossip until the summer months
but if the question is are the Northwind mercenary units being told, they will be its just they're spread out, i think the nearest of the NH regiments are the Fusiliers assuming they're somewhere in the vicinity of Elgin.
To reiterate this, this would go poorly, but also it bears reiterating that Gene subsequent to killing Samsonov, overrode the Galedon Regulars comms and proceeded to deafen them with Farewell to Gibraltar, which is a bagpipe march, at this point in 3019 (and for the FedSuns at large, that is less in the news compared to, Bard's commentary of Black Fox, but for the Highlanders well its noteworthy) thats the latest detail that has probably reached the units in Capellan service. Dieron and the Northwind caches are still unknown.It might leak out to the Capcom once they are told and thus they may attempt to launch an attack to retake the planet and to also get the shinies.
It would likely backfire.
But what would probably happen is if NH dropped on Northwind they would get held in place, and the ELH would be called in from Dieron and it would be messy, but from a strictly internal scotts perspective, the NH regiments in capellan service would be committing if unknowingly a pretty serious set of faux pas in the eyes of the home clans
Right and the servitor thing is more of an upfront issue in really in Rabid Fox than it is here, since that story and to a less extent Aurigan Renaissance deal more with the Capellan's issues, but that is point of considering.This is the era in which the Big Mac has been getting a lot of the CapCon's resources and attention while the Highlanders have been taken for granted.
They may end up returning home sooner than they did OTL. I am pretty sure the servitor/citizen divide of the Confederation is much worse than it was when Northwind was a Confederation world for less than 2 generations.
I mean I pointedly pulled the Takashi angrily rants like its HItler in downfall, but yeah its Dieron fell, and also by the way they went through the ISF library boss.I take it this is the combine POV of them basically freaking out over the fall of dieron with most of its industry and military bases and government facilities intact including the district ISF HQ?
I'm pretty sure Takashi by this point has dodged more than that, like the first eight were all super early in his reignThe Combine response should be Takashi talking sane responses, if brutal.
The real fear would be the Black Dragon using this as a way to paint the Coordinator as being too liberal.
Takashi did dodge over 8 serious assassination attempts.
Those 8 where in just his first year in office.I'm pretty sure Takashi by this point has dodged more than that, like the first eight were all super early in his reign
I had them marked as Veteran, but I don't know if thats canon we know they had seen some action on the Lyran front before rotating home, and like here... well Kerston told the Blue Stars maybe more than he should have before they left for Northwind with the Hussars for the Altair offensive, and then well yeah.Losing the 18th Dieron hurts badly since they're either a elite regiment or a veteran one right on the edge of being elite. In 3025 they're elite but not sure about that in this period.
So basically the combine is down 4 high end battalions of mech warriors between them and the 5th SOL plus all the other losses.
Well they would learn to fear him even more later, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven.There were diaries of a woman of House Kurita that talked about travelling to the Periphery, deep into the rimward expanse, for the tombs which held sleeping a monster not unlike what they had seen on Elidere and Dieron. Had the Azami delved deep into the rimward periphery and successfully opened the resting place of some long sleeping Terran?
Heron after hearing about the necess kurita affair and the bandersnatches drop on Luthien: "Thats cute,"Well they would learn to fear him even more later, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven.
I mean thats sort of what I want to imply, but... well I also didn't want Takashi to be all like "i ordered my father's death and then shot the guy in the face" here its more I knew he was going to do it and was looking the other way and then made it quick to clean up loose endsI mean it's pretty much assured Takashi had his father assassinated and then killed the assassin before he could talk.

Probably the interior. The pehst district probably will have to move a lot of the troops there to cover gaps in the more front line districts. Of course getting the shipping for that will be "fun"Given that raiding tactics have been the way the 3rd Succession War has been fought, outside of a few key major assaults like Dieron. Everyone is watching the garrison units across the border like hawks. The Combine will have to reshuffle troops to deal with all the shit it's in now, and do it quietly.
Dealing with rebellion in Rasalhague, plugging the holes their line now has around Dieron and Altair, and a retaliatory strike against Robinson, Sakhara, or even Northwind? Where exacting are they expecting to pull troops for all that from and NOT open new holes in the line somewhere else?
Yep, and thats not great for other reasons in the long run, especially as Takashi can't make nice with the Mariks since even though the Lyran Peace Proposal that is due out in 3020 would make tons of sense acceding to it even in principle if not deed would almost certainly invite some collection of assholes to make more trouble for Takashi and certainly the shipping to move those around is going to be in high demandProbably the interior.

Oh yeah, I forget that with this BT CYOA there's rolled powers for some characters. As a spymaster "The Smiling One's" empathy will only make him a pain in the ass to work near and any operative to be easier to flush out, but at least in return we give the Frederick "The Hammer" some precog (he might be a thorn in Katrina's side with his ambitions, but at least his straightforward nature means this will only be a problem if he actually coups, and he's unlikely to join in on Aldo's more extreme intrigue, or to approve with some of them as well, so at least that's a more capable commander for the Lyrans). Man, and any attack where Sandoval himself is in the same region is not going to have a good time when he gets the hang of his power, with the range of that telepathy anything but a straightforward assault and sheer difference in specs is going to get worked around once he gets a good electronic and/or telepathic comms network going.Yep, and thats not great for other reasons in the long run, especially as Takashi can't make nice with the Mariks since even though the Lyran Peace Proposal that is due out in 3020 would make tons of sense acceding to it even in principle if not deed would almost certainly invite some collection of assholes to make more trouble for Takashi and certainly the shipping to move those around is going to be in high demand
Meanwhile, or in a little bit Janos is like: "We did what, when? and they're retaliating now? FML"
But yeah the Drac attack on Robinson also is pretty important because well it gives House Sandoval something important to do in defense of the March. Aaron gets to show off his tanks and combined arms gusto, "We are better prepared, we have learned from previous acts of combine aggression." And I probably should have been a bit more up front with Subhash's empathy power, but like IIRC from like early canon dude already has ki powers anyway and those are due to show up later when he takes an enthusiastic walk to rasalhague
