Don't know but I bet anchovies rapidly became extinct. :pimp:
What do you think happened to the possible Vasudans in Sol? At the end of the Great War, several Thoth fighters managed to survive and reach Earth - and possibly more Vasudans (scientists probably) had already moved into Sol. Although a small population: 100 or so, they might have flourished.
My opinions is that after 14 long years of war, the normal civilians listening to all the hatred of Vasudans would have shunted and possibly killed the Vasudans off because only the soldiers could have made true friendships with them through comradeship of battle.
It would really depend on the skillset of the Vasudans present.
Well, it'd be cool if in some post-lucifer sol campaign there'd be Vasudan faction not only Terran ones. It'd make for example INFA more intresting ;) :D
Hey didn't one of the briefing's or debriefing's in FS1 said that both Vasudans and Terrans have gathered all available warships in SOL in order to mount an effective defence against the Lucy ???

If' im not mistaken that would mean at least a couple of cruisers perhaps even a destroyer would be based in SOL vasudan ones i mean !
Don't take this for good since i can remember exactly if they were based in sol or outside SOL in a blockade!
Wasn't there a plot element of MindGames concerning the Vasudan remnants in Sol?
I doubt there were enough Vasudans to make a breeding population.
To be absolutely honest, I never really thought about if there were Vasudans on Earth.Then you are not a true FreeSpacer.

Yep. It's a major part of the plot line for the mod.I doubt there were enough Vasudans to make a breeding population.
The popuation you need to maintain a species is much lower than you'd expect. There is significant evidence that the human population was reduced to somewhere between 2000 and 20,000 people by the Toba supervolcano. Which means that a destroyer or two would have a breeding population.
But even that is a high estimate. Every single Californian Condor in the world is a descendant of the 22 birds that were still alive 20 years ago.

My guess is a mini-GTVA would have developed. Eventually.
Since there were some Vasudans in Sol, my guess is the initial xenophobia and panic after the collapse would have forced the Vasudans into the outer areas. Neptune, Pluto, Uranus, etc. since the humans didn't quite want to mingle so freely.
Earth, Mars, and Venus all go independent, then they quickly unify under a federalist government with a large degree of planetary autonomy similar to the United States, Ceres quickly joins since they are scared of the Jovians and Saturnians, who have unified into a semi-fascist government, and the Vasudans are setting up in the outer reaches, mining the Kuiper Belt, coexisting peacefully with the humans there, and they form their own government similar to the United Kingdom in structure and distribution of power, just no hereditary monarchs (Vasudans like Parliaments, and the humans out there probably hate any sort of hereditary leadership, kings, emperors, and nobles so a compromise is struck). And trade quickly springs up between the Earth-based and the Pluto-based governments once they realize the other exists, and they get along well. The Jovians and the Saturnians are not amused, and decide take the solar system by force. War ensues, they are defeated, and the Vasudans and Terrans decide to make the bonds forged in that war even stronger by completely unifying under the banner of the Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance.
And serious problems ensue when the Delta Serpentis-Sol node is opened, since there can be only one Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance. And the Sol one is set up quite differently than the Beta Aquilae one since it is set up more like the United States where the Beta Aquilae GTVA has more in common with the U.N.
Took it down to 63%. On Very Easy. Of course, for some odd reason the Raynor wasn't firing its beams. :confused:
Despite what I was saying in the other thread about the two factions being pretty fairly balanced, and the GTVA having a slight edge with the beams, I really love the UEF ships, and I think their gritty missiles-and-railguns feel is really appealing.
