Entirely fair, but I was trying to kept my suggestions relatively brief. I seem to have a little trouble telling 'succinct' from 'terse'. :-(

After the formation of the Star League, the Terran Hegemony only shared a select few military technologies with its fellow member-states (samples of which had already been “acquired†by outside agents); those technologies that are available outside of the Hegemony within the Star League are listed in italic under the Star League header on the Advanced Components: Reunification War Table (no other technologies will be available outside of the Hegemony during the Reunification War).
(This does not match the table on p.178, where technologies available to non-Hegemony Star League states are marked with an asterisk and a footnote.)
Suggested correction:

Fancying himself a skilled politician, General Charles Wexworth relies overly so upon his staff and subordinates while also continually making decisions based upon a consensus-building model. While these qualities served him well so long as he was surrounded by a skilled staff and he operated in a purely political setting, they failed him whist waging war.
