Lancer is ass because their idea of utopia is like nordic socialism with some slavery sprinkled on top
Blakest/jihad era >>> dark age era
Say what you will about the tenets of Blakism, at least it’s an ethos.
Every sci-fi setting can have a little jihad, as a treat
I bounced hard off battle tech when someone told me a significant part was the honorable military coming back to fix the universe, and then later I heard one of the big authors of the setting turned out to be a fascist.
You must be referring to The Clans, so this is the point that I’ll say that everyone in-universe thinks that the reason why the galaxy went to shit after the Space Roman Empire fell (the original Star League) was because the Space Roman Empire fell. And everyone (namely the 5 main houses) to some degree is fighting eachother over the “right” to be the First Lord. So the Clans think this to such an extreme degree that they think the entire problem can be solved by going in, conquering Terra, and reforming The Star League, which right now is what the current era going into right now with the ilClan era.
The Clans are kinda the descendants of the original Star League, namely the military arm of it (the SLDF).
As a Capellan fan, I will never forgive the Blakists for stealing the title of ‘biggest baddie’.
They’ll never take away what the capellans did to the star league in exile?
