[QUOTE="Diggus Rex, post: 3270583, member: 46101"] Yep. Now imagine if Africa was a big as the Mid Rim. ;) I envisioned small scale battles going on throughout the Pre-Clone Wars Republic. Whenever the Republic's attention focused here or there, elsewhere another power was bending/breaking the Republic charter to snatch more resources. Their neighbors notice and rat to the Republic but their hand is out of the cookiee jar by then, and nobody like a rat. [I]"See, the Senate cant protect us. We better prepare just in case they snatch our way next time."[/I] Fear leads to anger; anger leads to militarization; militarization leads to 'pre-emptive deterrence'. Mercs and pirates get funded as intermediaries to hide their sponsor's involvement and justify more militarization. But, enough on politics. :D [/QUOTE]
