Talk:CoDominium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pournelle's 'The Prince is not the same as The Prince of the link, by Machiavelli, although the latter certainly inspired the former....
If I recall correctly, the War World series of books is also a part of the CoDominium series. In the gripping hand, one of the characters has a bodygaurd that is part sauron superman, which I believe comes from that series. I have never read the war world books, however. --Ignignot
Moved Motie Prime to the motie page, were it seemed more apporate.
[edit] Mercenaries
Wrote this section up, but not sure if it shou,ld be included or not:
"==Mercenaries== Many newly independent colonies need a military, but can not develop one due to a lack of resources. With the Grand Senate cutting the fleet budget, there is a large amount of unemployed trained soldiers. As a result of these factors, former CD marine units reorganized into mercenary bands. Eventually, mercenaries become a necessary in colony warfare.
Although there are attempts to ban mercenaries, these are ignored. Eventually, the CoDominium creates the Laws of War which limits mercenary warfare and provides rules of conduct. Along with several mercenary groups, other planets begin to also produce mercenary units."
I think it needs a little more work. Plus, I don't really know were to place this. --Eldarone 17:43, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
