Well despite what their appearance makes them, i think it would be more important to them to show that they wont be pushed around by a group of worlds that already succeeded from them. If they didnt stand firm and follow through with their words, it would make them appear even more weak.

Well i dont know about the rest of you but i feel just a wee bit smarter now.
Whether or not they signed the articles of the Confederation, the worlds that now make up the Union or Border Worlds were considered part of the Confederation, asking for protection against the Kilrathi and commencing in trade and commerce like any other Confederation World. It was not until the threat of the Kilrathi had passed did they stake out and officially declare themselves a soverign nation.

In any case, I don't think Confed would want a lot of publicity surrounding seizure of "property", because it's not a nice thing to do. 
In any case, Dragons doesn't belong to either Confed or the BW. They belong(ed) to the Black Lance. And since the Black lance is no more, more or less, thet'd probably end up (A Destroyed (B Examined (C Put into storage. After all, uit's what they did with the Ark of the Covenant, right?

Your right, if i wasnt drunk right now i probably would have spelled seceded right.
As for whether they were a part of Confed or not, well they hadnt claimed their soverignty until after the war. Before the war they were a bunch of worlds settled by citizens of the Terran Confederation. By default, those worlds were a part of Confed.

Weak? I think the weakness Confed exibited in WC4 was internal (in the collapse of its laws and freedoms) rather than external. After all, Confed reacted very strongly to the possibility of any threat posed by the Border Worlds, to the point of moving to war declaration against them, and carrying out military operations gainst them even before that went through.
After WC4, Confed would be already dealing with the fact that it let an internal neo-Nazi group take it to the brink of war against a peacefull neighbour, which wouldn't do much for its repuation amoung the smaller human nations. In that context, it would be much more important for Confed to show that what happened was an abberation rather than typical of the way Confed deals with smaller nations. Hence a kid-gloves approach would be a lot more productive than throwing its military strength around. That might well work in the short term, but it would give nations like the BW and the Landreich even more reason to fear and distrust Confed.
