Well, zero mention of us in Shattered Dawn.  I didn't expect a huge amount of Raven goodness happening, but I was hoping for something.  sigh...

I honestly didn't expect any mention of the Ravens. Biding their time for the big fight.

Hey, it means our faction wasn't beaten with the fiat stick and killed off. Be grateful!  ;D

Exactly. Let the groundpounders beat each other into a pulp, let them dance their merry dance, while we warp in at the pirate point to call down orbital strikes finishing off the "victors."

The Return of the Adder is the only thing I fear. It will not be pretty.

For shame, lumping the Ravens into the periphery. Tsk.

I would prefer whatever happens in the sequel to be something more than the Ravens become Wolf lap-birds.

If we survive as part of some grand ilClan led government, I see a long line of saKhans of the Navy, Grand Admirals, or whatever, from House McKenna.  Even the ilClan knows we rule the stars.

If there is a unified military, we should also rule the skies with our Outworlds brothers.  It should be a good competition between the two. 

So much ortillery.   :drool:  So many planes.   :drool: 

IlClan, just let the Ravens take care of your big, complicated space toys.  You go play with your mechs.  If you need us, we'll be up here in space.  Tracking your every move...

I mean, I really assumed this was an understood part of the relationship.  The Ravens have always been willing to be the designated driver for the Bears.  Because sometimes the Ravens need a really, really big angry guy to punch people.

Are the ravens building warships post 3080s? Or are they just maintaining what they still have?

Post-Jihad they're going the other direction: shrinking the fleet by putting WarShips in mothballs.

But in-universe rumor as of the Dark Age is that they're starting to press some hulls back into service.

The Lev III's are believed to be in production at Alshain.  The entry hinted at Raven involvement.

Makes complete sense, the conversation must have been along the lines of," hey ravens, wanna make a scary warship?" To which they replied," does a Ghost Bear defecate in the woods?"

i still think the Raven Alliance should be the first one who made a LAOM ( Land Air OmniMech) called Snow Raven III a totem Mech who can Support the Ground Units and even the Fleet.
