Holding the Line: Chapter 122 (February 17, 2002)

[Bandit LOAF]

And then here's Raptor to introduce our weekly chapter of Holding the Line. You can find Chapter 122 here.

Hey all, Raptor here
HTL continues with part seven of the Tiger Hunt series, called "Throwing The
Dice", which follows the Border Worlds carriers as they continue drawing the
attention of the Nephilim fleet. This chapter is set shortly after a "A Den
of Death", but focuses on the Battlegroup Valkyrie's other carrier, the BWS
Valeria. This story is written by yours truly, so please send any and all
comments to me.
As I've said before with regards to Border Worlds technology, seeing as we
didn't get to see anything of the Border Worlds military in WC or SO, we
have no way of knowing for sure how good their tech is. The working theory
I'm using is that they're at the same place relative to Confed that they
were in WC4. Back then, they were mostly using WC2 tech like Rapiers and
Sabres spearheaded by small number of craft that were equivalent to Confed's
WC4 craft, like Banshees and Avengers. Now, they're using mainly WC3/WC4
grade craft, spearheaded by a small number of craft that are similar to
Confed's WC craft, such as Retaliators and Stalkers.
Best, Raptor
