Title: Cold war (spoiler for massive battle)

The GTVA Sol Expeditionary Force was annihilated in a single battle, destroying political support for the war and probably ushering in a GTVA-UEF cold war.

Played this a while ago but only recently started thinking about the outcome as a possible ending for BP2. (disregarding annihilated in a single battle)

Is this still a valid outcome as far as the writers are concerned? I have been going under the assumption that a UEF victory would lead to civil war in Terran space so if the GTVA could maintain stability this changes my expectations for BP3.

How did the real Cold War end?

I meant short to mid term as in between BP2 and BP3 (unless BP3 is set a few years later than BP2).

Is it feasible that  the Terran assembly could  stay in power after a UEF victory? How would this affect the UEF?

Do not read the spoiler below if you haven't checked the VP files

Spoiler:
I don't know if Death of Ubuntu was a distraction to prevent us from guessing the end of the war but that indicates a massive consolidation of power in the military and increased spending for fighting technology

I didn't even know that thing was in the VPs - where is it?

IIRC that was the outro for the legendary WiH alpha.

You can't spoil anything plotwise, see my previous post

It has **** all to do with the current BP storyline.

Isn't that the one where Steele died on his first appearance and the GTVA got its ass whooped all the time?

No worries it was just in case :)

Like I said before I thought that that had maybe been included to mess with us when speculating how  it all ends
