Why did the Zhodani change their tune and start making peaceful
overtures to the Domain of Deneb after the Fifth Frontier Was? Jim
Kelleher and I figured the reasons were economic. Consider the outlay
of attempting a full scale invasion, and then the impact of losing.
Our conclusion is that the failure of the Fifth Frontier War caused
an economic "recession" for the Zhos, to the point where they can't
afford another altercation for a while.
I always thought that at least the First and Second Frontier
Wars were really over territory, from the impression I get while reading
about it in Alien Module 4.
