Quote:I say Bretonia because its the furthest House from Nomad territory.
Not necessarily. It all depends on the number of jumps you have to take. For example - Okinawa from the tohoku system may seem closer on the map than to omicron 92, but in jumps omicron 92 is closer.
So if the nomads had a 1 jump into bretonia, then bretonia would be one of the first to fall.
Anyway. If the order had failed, (this is just giving an opposite way to everyone else here tends to think), the nomads send a battleship to NY, blow up the sun, then goes to New Tokyo and blows up that star, etc etc...
If you don't like that alternative,
The nomads slowly destroy humanity using forces of their own... which really isn't likely. If they wanted to do that, then they could have done it long before the order came along.
The nomads infect the entire human race. Sounds pretty good. Everyone becomes oracles or wilde, etc...
Liberty declares existance of the nomads, wages a massive war against them... loses... humanity gets wiped out.
Rhienland and Kusari destroy each other.... Sounds pretty nomad. No actual nomad involvement there...
Anyway, all ways, the humans lose. I doubt that dysons sphere in Omicron Major is the only one the nomads have anyway so the end of discovery will probably have to be "the nomads blew everyone up. The end". Unless of course, the order makes some kind of bio-bomb....
Or we make up some pointless excuse otherwise:D
This is all hypothetical of course, all stating that the nomads are a million times more powerful than the current human race, which they probrably are seeing as they are aeons older than us and have much higher technology than us. Probrably suitable seeing as the human race's arrogance once again causes it's own defeat.
