Power is a goal. Pleasure is eternal. Welcome to Canopus.

Going by RATs, I'd probably say maybe 10% of the MoC specific regiments are Clantech at the most. 7.5% is probably a better figure since the Magistracy is far more prosperous thrn the other Periphery powers. The Pride probably has far more, perhaps as high as a third.  The other factor to consider is how well does the MHAF does against an opponent that's 90% upgraded vs the Marians' 50%?

Both factions have impressive MUL collections. Has anyone done any battles of Canopus vs the Marian Hegemony in the ilClan era?

[jimdigris]

The MoC was starting to purchase clantech from the Snow Ravens in 3146, so the percent might be larger. 
With recent combat losses in the MoC and FWL, the Marians may have a smaller military than the four regiments bearing down on Alphard.  The Canopians don't have to annihilate the MHAF.  If they liberate all the slaves, there will be severe labor shortages leading to supply chain nightmares.  If they slag the military factories, it will take years longer to significantly rebuild the material part of the MHAF.  To make things even more fun, the Canopians could grab the germanium stockpiles and loot the banks for precious metals.  While they're looting the banks, they could burn all the paper currency and wreck the computer systems.  Economic depression could soon follow.

Interesting the Canopians as the pirates..  I'm sure they will liberate the slaves back to home...

[jimdigris]

There aren't any slaves back home.  That one entry in the rulebook was errata.

Tell me more, i love fantasy fanfics.... ;D

 Wait and see.  >:D

I hope Big Daddy Daoshen has been generous with the latest shipments of Capellan gear to the MHAF, as I'm not sure what else could make that fight interesting. Oh! And I also hope that Sian Dragoon regiment that's operating covertly somewhere in Magistracy space gets pulled into it too, somehow.

[Minemech]

 Sian will be devoting all of its attention elsewhere, somewhat more Coreward if you will. That should include equipment of all types. They are gunning for a double annihilation and do have the forces to do it if they plan correctly.

 As for the Marians getting good arms, they should not have any trouble with that. They lost a critical Battle Armor factory, but that should not impede them in the near term.

You are right. I got lazy and double checked the Sarna map, when I should have read the material. Keeping all that up to date is a chore for the workers there.

The eternal fight that the Marians have to have data from our factories we still want to know what mechs the ATC builds in Addhara and what else Hadrian did since 3077

At least we already know that we made 5 SL mechs with Marian Arms in Alphard

Be careful what you wish for.

Maybe this should be discussed in the Marian thread.
