[i]“It was deemed preposterous to develop entirely new weapon systems for dogfighting in open space, as portrayed in theatre-media originating during the 20th and 21st centuries. Instead, Scientists developed a rather simple solution; All capital ships are equipped with an artificial atmosphere projection system to recreate more common physics that planetside equipment has been developed around. This comes in a variety of forms; Primaros Capital Ships usually deploy a smaller, separate vessel with the sole purpose of emitting massive amounts of earth-standard air in a large radius. Teltronian Militia Capital Ships, while they differ in design drastically, conventionally emit this artificial atmosphere from the capital ship itself. This is commonly a weakness in their defense, and usually have at least one squadron of fighters dedicated to protecting these otherwise vulnerable locations on the Capital Ship.” [/i] - The Dimensions of War: Combative Astronautics (Regulation Textbook administered by the Primaros Military School of Astrogation). ~~~ Honester: "Defend your Warp Gates at all cost. If your connection to the relays is lost, your connection to society is lost. Being dead in space, means eventual death in space. Direct assaults on Warp Gates was outlawed by the Corundum Treaty of 2668, but that treaty only applies to Human Warfare. Remind me, Mr. Doller, does the Primaros Imperium consider us human?" Doller: "No, Sir." Honester: "Then, what do they consider us, Ms. Abbes?" [Prolonged Pause] Abbes: "Beasts . . ?" Honester: "Monsters." - Recorded excerpt from TEM Military Astronautics Classes, Given by invited speaker Dorian Honester.
