' Wrote:The Taus are fairly rich, but they're also not being handed over on a silver platter. The Outcasts have never made it easy to mine there, but they didn't used to have to deal with a hostile navy on that particular doorstep. It isn't hard to imagine that there will be some rather vicious warship battles in the Taus- quite a few factions there have heavy capital ships, and plenty of enemies.
Well, the Taus are mostly made up of dense ice and asteroid fields (Tau 31 and Tau 23 completely consist of these). Those systems do not lend themselves to capital ship battles because caps have a hell of a time maneuvering in them, whereas Outcast/enemy lighter caps and bombers would have an easier time there. Tactically, pinning part of the Gallian fleet in T31 and launching a massive fighter/bomber attack at them could result in a lot of dead Gallians.
