Too bad that even when she does touch it, because of budget cutbacks all that shows up is a few half-crewed dropships!

Considering our Clan's fondness for deception, it wouldn't surprise me if it was revealed that the Ravens were hiding a huge force.

This is the Snow Ravens we're talking about.  There's no such thing as "marginally habitable."

Highly doubtful, their fondness is for political deception not military deception.  They don't have the resources to build let alone maintain a huge force.  They are having a hard enough time reactivating their mothballed warships.

Le sigh. A harsh dose of realism.

Political deception and military deception are different sides of the same coin.  And hiding resources isn't that hard a thing to do- just ask the ones who built the WOB shadow divisions.

I overstated the case for lame comic effect.  Here's the actual quote from XTRO: Republic III:

Quote
Dubbed the Ryoken III, this beast seems an odd choice for the Wolves over one of their homegrown designs, and suggests a possible Snow Raven link. [One Clan fielding it is bad enough; two I don’t want to think about.—RM]

FWIW...

I do love me some alliteration.  The C3 one is the one that feels right to me.
