On AECO Starport/Deepsite:
When I saw this in Invasion: Earth, I always figured that it meant
something like "Africa-Europe Cooperative Organization", since it is
the only starport in the area, and it is in North Africa on the Med.
I really don't know for sure, though.
On Zhodani invasion of a weakened Imperium:
I really doubt that the Zho's _want_ the Imperium. Their focus is really
much more to coreward, and the territory and resources they have committed
to that focus is simply staggering. As it is they have their hands quite
full with the Expeditions. A total collapse of the Domain of Deneb would
lead to an invasion -- but only one far enough to secure their own borders.
The Frontier Wars have been claimed to be a Zho attempt to get the Imperium
to leave them alone, and not try to move in on them. Now, they might get
tangled up in a war they don't want, but I don't think they plan on driving
into Deneb if they can help it.
That's not to say that the Aslan, Vargr, and Solomani, as well as anyone
else in the area, won't give Imperial conquest a shot....
