You know what our Evil plan should be? Taking over the homeworlds. Thats what we should use our money for. When they attack the Inner Sphere. We should go take their planets. They stabbed Labov in the neck and I'm still not good with that.
Ummm.... a cluster of crappy worlds in the middle of nowhere? Seriously? I just don't see the upside in that. Even as a PR stunt it's not very compelling.
"They" who stabbed Angus Labov are all dead. Of old age if nothing else. The last thing that went through Brett Andrews's mind was his own nose, courtesy of the Star Adders. His Steel Vipers were annihilated. You've got some
dezgra Coyotes who were massacred, and a rump Hell's Horses. The Cobras and Star Adders didn't do more than token damage to the clan, which I see as strictly business. You've got a collection of Clans left in the homeworlds that were more allies than enemies for most of their histories, even during the Wars of Reaving.
Even if there was anyone or any Clan left that the Diamond Sharks had a grievance against, pursuing century-old grudges is an expensive distraction.
In the BT universe, staying safe and prosperous is more than enough of an Evil Plan for me. ComStar had the winning formula until they started coming up with zany schemes like that. I'm willing to fight to the very last Jade Falcon to re-take the Homeworlds, and no more. (
And I'm not 100% convinced that the Sea Foxes have abandoned contact with the Homeworlds in any event.)
