Did the Vasudans get into ross128 during the TV war?
i think these are very nice descriptions really, and i agree. i also agree on the importance of habitable planets. i think research bases were often on uninhabitbale planets, but food production only on earth like rocks. meaning that one ground battle could decide over a reasonable large amount of the food supply.

Flaser might be right on the economy angle, however there is something he forgot.

This wasn't a battle over resources, it was a poltical war.  Political wars play to different rules than traditional wars, meaning even a tiny ball of rock floating around on it's own can quickly spawn massive battles quite quickly.  Every planet, whether habitable or not, is a target to be taken and held, meaning the ground war is likely a monstrous operation, and where most of the casualties are made.  That kind of loss of people harms any economy, including space based ones.

Needless to say, this was a very, very unpleasant war, especially at the end.
