Obviously Laporte must gather an armada of magical Shivan Nagari girls to defeat the evil GTVA lords of darkness!And what did we learn about Nagari in Tenebra? What was Al-dawa all about? That's right, they combine!
EDIT: Joking aside... She will probably make use of every single ship and ally that opens to her. Calder(?), The Fedayeen, The GEFs (if you didn't nuke Kost), the defectors from AoA, the Sanctuary, supporters among the Vasudan Imperium, etc.
It's obviously a Deliverance Engine. ;7
i'm pretty sure the secret project is what she's going to be fighting to stop.
Spoiler:They are going to f**k the GTVA up so hard that there won't be another side for them to make peace with!
Byrne has had more than a year to fortify earth orbit, although to what degree that's possible in this particular sci-fi setting I'm not certain. But if you look at the fortifications at Artemis Station and in Her Finest Hour, the GTVA have figured out methods to defend small-scale static positions. What's to say the UEF haven't also?Didn't seem to help during the Blitz, and the Blitz was big enough that the GTVA nearly won the war right there (seriously, if Rheza Station gets destroyed, the UEF surrenders).

I doubt it. You really don't want any sort of war-winning secret weapon being developed anywhere near a major population center in case something goes horribly wrong with it.
I think the final mission of act 3 showed that the Shivans are not at all scared of 'losing' to the GTVA. If they just wanted to wipe them out they wouldn't need to go through the trouble of using the UEF to weaken the GTVA, nothing the GTVA can muster would stop an 80+ jug armada.There's even a hidden/removed cutscene in Universal Truth of the GTVA trying to save Earth. The Shivans could steamroll the Tevs and Zods in a week.

Here's a win scenario: Figure out how to tell Steele about the Shivan threat in a way that he'll believe. I doubt he'd continue if he knew for certain the Shivans would glass Earth because his side won.But do we know that for certain ? Assuming Ken and the Shivans are a reliable source about the Shivans themselves sounds about as smart as believing the Vishnans a reliable source about the Vishnans themselves. Look where that led Sam...
Difference is that Sam's head is so high in the clouds that he can't see the Vishnans eating his legs. Laporte actually realizes how insane the whole chosen one schtick is and just wants this freaky alien brain radio thing out of her head, which makes her the more reliable narrator.Here's a win scenario: Figure out how to tell Steele about the Shivan threat in a way that he'll believe.

With an army of genetically enhanced flower girls from Earth.
Actually this is starting to sound like the anime adaptation of BP... :nervous:No, that's about the girls on the Solaris drinking tea and eating cake until the war's over.

Captain Laporte, She's our hero. (so on and so forth).both
But as in the end of WiH 1. Should we be overjoyed or very very afraid of her?.
Given that Shambala speaks of a hidden kingdom (in mythology) and a king or god coming to destroy all 'filth' in the world, I am inclined towards it being either a subspace portal, which might make use of the GTC Duke to call in the Vishnans, or a super duper subspace portal that can move the whole solar system. I acknowledge that the latter goes into Star Wars EU levels of stupid considering the tone of Blue Planet's story.
Or it could be a forced mass upload into safe strata.How the heck do they do that? Shambala melts all the guns or something?

That awkward moment when the GD can swallow a Dante or a Preserver...
The Vishnan opposition to Shambala may simply be because as far as they are concerned, the UEF is a failure.
