In its full size as a whole Clan is Clan Sea Fox stronger, but they can't move the whole Touman, to attack Marik or the Cats.
The Clan is splitted in many Garrison forces.
I am simply going to make a correction based on fluff. I know that this correction may build 'anxiety' in the Spirit Cats and cause further discussion and I hope that doesn't happen. I'll say this first. Clan Sea Fox would not use force against the Spirit Cats. At least not while Rikkard and Petr Kalasa both still live and not without a huge divergence in the values of both clans. Maybe next century!
But the correction.
There are 6 Aimags (Clusters) floating around Marik Space. If they follow oldschool Diamond Shark tactical doctrine then those clusters are two clusters deep. Which means they have just enough force (or twice as much force) to smash the Spirit Cats without needing any other Khanates to swim by.
It think it ins not in the interest of the foxes to dominate Clan Spirit Cats
This is as objectively truthful as saying its a bad idea to saw your own leg off with a chainsaw. I agree completely.
A War take resources and profits, i think the foxes better made there a good deal for them what looks good for the cats but is great for them self.
still true.
But to compare the Sea Fox with the East India Company is just wrong!
They was a tyranic Company who dont care of non British lifes.
I Think the Foxes are more human in open a market. ( i never read from a Revolt against the Sharks )
Saying that Clan Sea Fox is like the East India Trading Company, or the Hanseatic League is like saying the Draconis Combine is like Feudal Japan or The Federated Suns is like Britain in space.
While they certainly derive inspirations from those works. Its one of those author tricks.
Lets say you write a character that you want to put into a story but he's incredibly one dimensional. Well, something authors do in this scenario is they take a second character and make those two characters one character. It diversifies that character. Does the same thing for factions. Take one faction, take a bunch of different cultures and throw it into one pot. Then you've got Blade Runner. Or Firefly (which, lets face it, is like Blade Runner in space. Its even more similar to the deep periphery)
Are the surviving Nova Cats independently?
There is the remains of a Cluster in the Protectorate. They're keeping themselves separate from the Spirit Cats. But they're part of the Protectorate. So ... Yes and No.
Guys in some of your posts 'Shark Foxes' sounds like an own Faction ?!?
The 'Shark Foxes' is an in joke. Because Clan Sea Fox has changed its name to Clan Diamond Shark and back again. Rather than clarifying which Clan it was at the time when talking about them you can call them Shark Foxes and it covers the faction under both pseudonyms.
I think the Foxes can resist the temptation to attack the allied factions and Clans in the Protectorate. Though suggesting that ANY Clan would do something sensible or reasonable is pretty much an oxymoron in the making.
Should check out the Shark Foxes. Invading Clans, Warriors of Kerensky, Operation Klondike, Golden Century, Warden Clan, Touring the Sphere with Herb! Masters and Minions Starcorps, Interstellar Players 3. Wars of Reaving.
If we aren't being lead by Ian Hawker we're surprisingly reasonable and sensible.
