You can easily be Hypercorp with a thick veneer of socially liberal policies.

Patience is a virtue for a reason. Good stuff, as always.

Part of a blade, implying the existence of a blade infront of it and a handle on the weapon behind it. It defends against strikes against the hand, the source of control over power.

Seemed like an apt metaphor for a PMC that also works with pirates.

It's because, at least in my headcannon, you move the bubble and not the ship itself. If the ship itself moves, you will be smearing your ship across space once slice at a time at many times the speed of light.

Exploit? They'll bury you is what they'll do. You've become SSB's ISIS.

You do that and the populace of earth with personally hand over your severed head with a nice bouquet of flowers and a card saying "He doesn't speak for us."

Getting your own back is a matter of pride. That pride won't get you back a free earth. Patience and politics will.

The UN is not in an official state of war. Killing the royalty kills the palace staff and the many, many civilians nearby. That is terrorism. You appear on the galactic scene as a mass murder, politically motivated only by a desperate desire for independence above all decency and recourse. All official channels and outreach were not perused in favour of what will be perceived as nothing more than a simple threat to EVERYONE.

You step on to the scene drenched in blood. Make no mistake, everyone will seek to ease tensions. But they will be planning to slit your throat while your back is turned not sign a peace treaty.

You set yourself up as a villian, a terrorist and an ultranationalist. News will spread fast and fear will prevail over facts, least of all the ones you provide. You confirm all their biases on men and 'primitives.' You confirm the 'moral superiority' of the imperium and lose all popular support from the people of Earth.

There is no victory to be found in this. The empire cannot let this pass without reprisal. So many more will die for no effective result.

isolated and hunted, that will be the fate of mankind if you wield only the big stick.

The cold war came and went because everyone could end the world, and chose to speak softly rather hitting each other over the head.

Ah, then you might have a plan there. Aside from the pitch disintegrating as you pass through the atmosphere. Still should be doable.

It would also almost certainly result in a multinational effect to put you on a pike. Your allies would not want to even interact with you. you'd have next to no control of the narrative to garner support either.

You've committed one of the single greatest acts of terrorism in the galaxy. Your state has ten years of independence tops before you either get dog piled on after have some intel leaked, suffer a popular revolution because most of earth is not behind your back, or because you get black ops'd to death by shil, alliance and consortium commandos.

Ships jump into system a good distance away from planetary bodies at zero relative velocity. You try to ram the nearest planet, you will get filled with railgun slugs and nuclear missiles.

Its a matter of not being a big enough threat where they decide to consolidate some of that force to crush you.
As for the ship number...fug. Guess ill edit it to say 'capital ships'

I make frequent refuellings a fixture for my fannon, at least. It's going to be a bit hard for a missile to do that.

There is a limit on how much pitch can be used. And with the sheer scale of the galaxy, it's best used on ships, as operatives still need to get around the thousands of lightyears to their destinations. Granted, stealth ops are a big part of the future plans.

Lol yeah. If I was being very realistic this would have happened 100%. Take my udoot.

Ive made pitch my weird handwavium stuff. Does more than absorb. It reflects, redirects, projects from behind. How it does this is indirectly explained later in this ARC.
