heh, I used to be making a campaign where-in the GTVI went rogue... again (hardly original). Fun thing was that, although alpha 1 is a terran, the leader of the resistance was nobody less than Emperor Khonsu II

Apparently he had nothing else to do.
Delta's idea is nice but maybe he could add the idea of Sandwich.
After Capella the GTVA comes together more than ever before... But elements withing GTVA Gov. use this to tighten control on every level.
Then the first protests start and the GTVA clamps down. After that it escalates and with the loss of those armies everything acts out as Delta told us.
Might make a nice tough for the background story, some command briefings (in which you see everything escalate) and some of the early missions.
Just an idea...
