Military questions for the authors.
Posted: 30 Apr 08 1:08 PM
David I was just wondering about a few things. first when reading the books. Are the planetary military labeled with the name of the planet so we can tell form the confedration regular army. How do the naval strike fighter squadrons deploy to a combatzone. Finally does the central government have an airforce or do they rely completely on the navy to provide air support.

Luec, you've got three questions there. The answers:

Yes.
Aircraft carriers, just like in the books.
What air power has appeared?

Achem! (looks at own name) I think I can point out a time where Air Power has surfaced in your stories. Infact... Now that I think of it, it was also in your first book... Burned the shit out of 3rd Herd pretty bad.

Using your own admission, I don't hold you to remember everything you've written. Several million plus words, if I remember correctly, so... I'll not hold it against you.

First To Fight was the first use of air power in the books. Raptors did an airstrike on Fiesta De Santiago in the valley where Bass and his men were pinned down by rebel forces.
The next was where Shabeli uses black market Raptors to do an airstrike on Tulak Yar. And I believe in several books there has been the use of air power. The Infantry is awesome, but needs its supporting elements to fend off greater numbered enemies.
