General principles:
- Only theta makes good FTL. Only ZOCU had that in quantity. The magnates had none, which was a major motivation for the war.
- You can make bad FTL with first-generation drives. These carry less, are far slower than modern drives and take months to recycle.
- Everyone has crappy tech. Apart from anything else, it's only 2160.
- ZOCU is wholly responsible for inventing mecha
- The Magnates invented Alephs which were hideously superior pilots
To start with let's confirm what every system's role was. Bear in mind this is all 2-4 decades ago and could be very much different to their modern bent.
- Minkowski: converted slowdrives to jumpships, made things to carry with them, assembled relief forces.
- Nidaros/Vrijheid: Got invaded by the Magnates. This arm of the invasion probably went very badly since/once ZOCU could move craft at speed.
- Delten: Took forefront as the Magnate manufacturing world during the war. Ended up becoming the primary shipyard facility after the breakdown ended.
