I always got the feeling that the Vasudans were the dominant force in the government of the GTVA and that the terrans were just kind of satellite protectorates with the manpower but not the coordinated structure to rule the alliance or feed themselves really, with the Vasudan economy and Terran lack theirof mentioned in several ship descriptions. I thought the NTF was partly an expression of Terrans feeling conqured after BETAC because the terran colonies were more third-world sounding.

Oddly enough I've had that thought more then once myself. Though more along the lines of the Vasudans being "senior partner" at the beginning, something that is changing by the time of FS2. The NTF was not just an expression of Terran resentment, but also of growing Terran power.

The GTVA can't be the Imperium of Man. Their ships don't have enough greebles!

Interestingly enough, most of the aparratus for Vasudan governance are seperate from the General Assembly, etc. Something to keep in mind in case you want to overthrow the GTVA. Find a way to nail the 'zugs first

Interesting.

And that's "zods", if you're using Eishtmo's epithet.

:Ahum: Plasma first came up with that one. VBB thing, he butchered 'zuds.

Which I butchered further for 'zugs.

But a) Bosch doesn't hate Vasudans and b) he mourned the fact that he would be remembered as a butcher of "innocents".

Actually, I wouldn't be so sure about a).  He says "What my enemies will never understand is that my rebellion is about my love for humanity and not my hatred of Vasudans"; which doesn't mean he doesn't actually hate Vasudans, just that it's not his driving force.

"I alone realised our species had no future with the Vasudans." also to me indicates that he sees the Vasudans as either a lesser race, or a handicap.  He certainly doesn't like them, that's for sure.

Hm.  Where did "zuds" come from then?

From Vasudans, I'd imagine.

irrelevant they should purge the unclean withering alien slimeballs anyways because they are uncapable of pure human hatred and thus do not deserve even our pity only death

Uh, no.  I came up with Zod for the Great War story I wrote way back when.  It was specifically a shortened version of Zodiac, since all the Vasudan wings were named after signs of the Zodiac.
