Depends on exactally what the K'V have in mind.
Dealing with a home planet of a hostile species with a
couple billion inhabitants? I'd take as a given that
there is no way in Heaven or Hell that I could import
enough troops to supress them. If the Earth has what,
15 billion inhabitants (I know, I know, but I just
don't see us supporting that many more people with
rational living standards--and most people get violent
when their living standards get too bad. Which
reduces the population back down to a decent level.)
The K'V will need what, maybe 15 million or so ground
troops? No WAY you are shipping that many men through
space.
So I'd drop a dino-killer or ten on them--pound the
planet into a lifeless hulk.
John
