Possibly also known as the Outer Rim Coalition, since they're ORC ships.

If they're clans, are they of any particular ethnic extraction?

Is this intentionally reminiscent of the Mech Warrior universe?

That must've been an interesting battle -- two corvettes knocking out a 
battlecruiser.	Not saying it couldn't happen, with hot enough dice, but

that's not the way to bet.  (I use SMR-armed strikeboats and there's a 
reason I don't bother thinking up names for them).

I could handle everything up to this point, but this is a little hard to

swallow.  More powerful than anything the UN, NAC, ESU, NSL, or FSE has 
launched?

ever had.

Since it's a UN-only technology, yeah, I'd imagine they'd be very, very 
surprised, to say the least.  How does a nation which was until very 
recently just a collection of pirates a) acquire the plans and b) create

the infrastructure to support it?
