Seventh Part of the Seal
Throughout Wing Commander 4, we see that Confed is preparing for war against the Border Worlds. The entire time Blair, Maniac, and others keep saying that this war will be a slaughter for the Border Worlds... I'm not 100% convinced it would be a total massacre.
Would they lose? Probably, but I think they could put up more of a fight then anyone gave them credit. The Border Worlds were not alone in this crisis, they had allies in Landreich, who I'm guessing was supplying them with ships, and what ever support they could, the Kilrathi whom had provided them with intel, and possibly could have provided military assistance, and even elements within Confed itself, otherwise Eisen would not have been able to get the St. Helen's.
Also, there may have been other worlds that saw through Tolwyn's ploy as well. Not to mention that it seemed about 20% of the Confederation's delegates didn't want to go to war as was shown in the loosing ending of WC4.
This may have triggered a small uprising in Confed itself. So in the end, the odds were that the BWs would still have lost thier war, but I think they'dve done much more damage then anyone gives them credit.
