To all.
I have noticed several recent references to the higher levels of Cyrvan Government/Military structure, how do they differ to Terran organisation?
"The Cyrvan government consists of ten circles. The 10th circle being the largest with thousands of people in it and he 1st circle the smallest with only a handful of elders and high admirals in it. This convulted system works like this: Let's say for example that there is a project proposed for a large park in a city on the planet Desa. The 10th circle will examine and discuss this project and eventually votes on it. A majority vote is reached and the project is greenlit. In 90% of the cases this is where it ends. However there are cases where someone in the 9th circle is completely opposed to spending resources on this project and he/she can ask for a vote to have a vote about this project for the 9th circle. This could potentially mean that the 9th circle can veto the project. Which often in turn leads to lobbying to get the 8th circle to take a look at it. And so forth.
This becomes increasingly annoying when it comes to military funding and operations, as a circle consists of both military personnel and civilians. To elaborate on that a bit more: A High Captain in active frontline service is eligible to be in the 8th circle but is not part of the active decision making until he/she resigns from active service and takes a political military 'deskjob'. This does not go for Rear Admirals and higher, they are expected to be able to lead and do paper work at the same time.
The 5th circle is a special case as only winged ones are in it. "
I presume Isa is the sister referred to, so Isa if that is the case is there a reason for this that you care to enlighten us with?
"I do not care to enlighten you about this."
...so...how does the oceans of Cyrvadia affect the Cyrvan culture/lifestyle/technological progress? As you know, 71% of Earth's surface is water, so we've had much to fear, learn and exploit from it.
"I figure its about the same, but I admit that I'm not all that well versed on the subject."
Oh and, does Cyrvadia have a terrestrial navy, army and airforce? I'm just curious, because I'm a staunch supporter that hybrid air/space (exception of the variable fighters!) fighters don't perform as well as pure air superiority fighters. My guess is that the navy is small, because Cyrvadia doesn't have a lot of ocean. The army would be...well, small too, because they don't like close quarters combat and because of their doctrine, orbital control equates to control over the planet. I guess the airforce would be the tiny as well, though fighters should be capable of delivering air-to-space missiles by N.C.145 or something, and even exceed escape velocity.
"The Navy was disbanded many many years ago. Ships have no where to hide and are just sitting ducks when orbital bombardment comes into play. The Spaceforce doubles as the Airforce, MCWS' are all equipped with anti gravity drives and inertia cancellers and thus perform just as well in the atmosphere as in space. For that matter they are also the primary force on the ground in mech form. We have yet to see the day in which a hostile force sets foot on one of our planets, so until that day happens our ground forces are very likely to remain as small as they are now."
Crystal, was a tank form ever considered for Cyrvan MCWS? If so, why was it rejected? Why was the mech form ultimately chosen?
"Because of the neural interface our craft operate on. In mech form a MCWS acts just like a large suit of powered armor. A tank certainly has a edge over a mech in battle on a open field, however the advantage goes to a mech in urban combat. And we think that the majority of ground combat would be fought inside cities and such."
Crystal, given the significantly greater dimensions of Cyrvadia itself in relation to Earth, how can you explain the phyique of the Cyrvan race? And if the case is that the density of the planet is much less than that of Earth per unit area, isn't Cyrvadia rather lacking in mineral resources? Heavy metals and industral resources tend to be rather massive elements, after all.
"Eeeeh, you want me to explain why Cyrvans and Terrans look alike? It's a mystery of this universe.
Cyrvadia is/was pretty abundant in mineral resources actually. Also, gravity on Cyrvadia is 0.93 compared to Earth."
To anyone with command level access:
How is the total cost of supplying and outfitting the Guardian Angel per sortie compared with a CSA or LSF ship in a similar role?
"About 10% more than outfitting a LSF Champion class. This is mostly due to the additional costs of accommodating CSA equipment."
To the Cyvrans:
1) You all appear to come from Cyvra, leaving me to wonder how high the ratio of officers and crew from Desa is...
2) If you are in command of a fighting unit: How hard was the competition is each of your classes for the "command spot"?
"Competition? Surely you jest.
What do you base your assumption that everyone is from Cyrvadia on?"
I don't believe the Cyrvans would surrender. At least Isa won't.
...right, Isa?
"Surrendering becomes an option when every beam emitter is burned out and every missile has been fired. Until then I expect everyone of my crew to fight until their last breath.
Alas I do not speak for every Cyrvan."
Speaking of civilian injuries and terrible damage....
Isa and Crystal: What are your opinions about "collateral damage"? You know what I mean. What is in your opinion "collateral damage?"
"Harming Civilian and non combatants should be avoided in all cases."
"There is no such thing as collateral damage when a goal needs to be achieved."
Maybe one of the winged ones had a vision about the Hertak and thus made sure Crystal would have the means to rescue the Coordi Queen 
"Some of them did, but the 'LSF does not act on vague premonitions and dreams of mystery angels'
At least, that's one of the many stories I heard going about after the Hertak retreated back to their own space."
Although, I do have some questions myself...Crystal once said information on CSA stuff was classified, but I'm going to throw a wrench into a bush and ask. Is the Aestival shieldless, to improve on it's stealth? Shield energy/entire theory of shielding/shield generators might have detectable signatures or somethingy.
"It's still classified. But no, that is not the reason."
I'm not comparing the mecha modes, because the Aestival's based on the GM.
That ship is known as a 'QT-ARMS', named Star Slyph. I suppose Spoon derived the Aestival from it
Yes and Yes (well technically it was the Hazel, but that's just a glorified GM with a Gundam head attached to it).
also I can't draw to save my life.
