Re: War in Heaven speculation thread.
What were the ~4 ships that defected outright? There were a couple corvettes and cruisers, right?

Re: War in Heaven speculation thread.
The Labouchere, Solace and Duke all jumped over to the UEF. Though given that there were thousands of people on those ships I doubt it was an easy or unanimous process.

Does the GTVA know their location?

Re: War in Heaven speculation thread.
They may know about the Labouchere and Duke, but the Solace is well-hidden.

Re: War in Heaven speculation thread.
Why go through all the trouble of hiding a long-range logistics ship if you're in your home system?
Well, I guess they're not hiding it because they intend to use it (for general purposes at least), more like the other way around.

Re: War in Heaven speculation thread.
Because Anemois are, in essence, floating military-industrial complexes. They are incredibly valuable and capable assets, and unlike the Corvettes and Cruisers, can be operated easily by UEF personnel.

Re: War in Heaven speculation thread.
They're enormous, basically mobile dockyards and logistics platforms.

The Duke and Labouchere were probably taken out of service and maybe even disassembled (to one degree or another.)

Re: War in Heaven speculation thread.
Remember, Droid, that Anemoi vessels are designed to serve as mobile installations. They can house enough supplies and equipment to sustain an entire fleet for several months. This is how the Temeraire was able to get itself repaired completely within the space of two short missions, or a few days + 15 minutes at best.

It is also worth noting, however, that the 14th fleet's misadventure to Sol, despite lasting only a couple of weeks, was able to severely drain the two logistics vessels that tagged along. Considering that the entire fleet was almost completely sustained by these two ships alone, against an entire Shivan armada led by the biggest monstrosity that the Shivans have shown (off), this is a testament to just how much (hyper)space there is in those vessels. At the same time, it also highlights the fact that the Anemoi is not a replacement for stationary installations.

I speculate that this

Its themes are about the psychology of war and the ambiguity of morality.

will be awesome and we'll get to do some wonderfully horrible things. But it's okay right? We had to do it, right right?

There is no War In Heaven. It's all an elaborate prank on the community.

Why?

I dunno, I guess the protagonist in WiH really polarised me. We're alike, but at the same time, oh so different...
