Let Slip the Dogs of War [Protectorate Invasion of Druckenwell OOC]

I'm not entirely sure how mercs or allies can be bought by The Confederacy for the invasion... when we'll be taken by surprise. <flicks a stray strand of hair away> But it is what it is.

While it's a surprise attack it's not a stretch to presume that IC tensions between both nations have been increasing recently (what with the former Archon defecting to the Protectorate) and that although Druckenwell being a target and the exact timing of the attack is a surprise, the CIS might have started preparing, sounded out aid and such. After all both empires have never exactly been friends. Ergo them clashing for dominance would not be that astounding.


And, in any case, there's always handwavium. It's an rp board after all! Sio...didn't have the biggest IC reason to coincidentally be on Atrisia when Fringe invaded, yet she was.

I thought of that... but in my mind, there would have had to be threads prior to the invasion for it to stick. That's just me and how I roll for story line and all. No big thing. I'm not the least bit worried; the beast will be sated any which way the chips fall.

Unfortunately, with how this invasion is being created and from talks between myself and Salem, it's not particularly reasonable for us to hire out mercenaries for this first invasion. This is something that's been planned for some time. Mercenaries are best suited for sudden challenges. This really is something drive by IC consideration. It doesn't reflect any sort of OOC choice. I agreed to the choice of giving up some aid slots to create, what was to Salem and myself, a realistic IC situation where the Protectorate fleet would have some sort of numerical advantage over the Confederacy.

I hope you don't take this personally or anything. If Salem told me that OP could bring it more ships without having to give up aid slots, it'd be different. But with a smaller aid pool than the Confederacy, I had to give priority to people who had the strongest reason to be a part of the Invasion.
