Wayne King-Meiouf : Molab's death of a 1000 cuts

Professor Wayne King-Meiouf of the University of Proxima

All we can is applaud (i guess) the Clones and their ingenious plan. They played the DDS along making them think they were going to undertake the winnable but costly invasion of Molab and instead have picked off two much weaker fruit (and Kontai and Unatel Gamma are weaker - the HCS have reported only 19 personnel have died during the invasion of Kontai and just 7 of those due to enemy fire).

But where does that leave Molab now? In a very bad place to be. The HCS now can build up their forces nearby and slowly strangle the rest of the Eritrans economically and culturally. The remaining weaker Eritran planets may be targeted first, i suspect Triple Megan will play a big role here in presenting the acceptable face of being part of the Clone sphere.

So over time Molab will end up more and more isolated, until they can be picked off easily too?
