Subject: Shall Not Perish 16 - Regency Navy

[Regency Fleet list omitted...along w/some other stuff]

Just a few comments on the list...

Looking back at my MT map of the Spinward Marches.  Isn't all of Glisten
subsector within the area of Aslan Conquest?  Not to mention about a quarter
of Trin's Veil Subsector (spin-rim ward)?  Assuming the conquest area
would narrow as it reached deeper into Imperial territory, I dare to
assume that Pax Rulin, Gazulin, Sindal, and Tobia would've been overran as
well.  (Also see Imperial map in Survival Margin, pg 98)

I would suggest that the 100th, 201 to 204th fleet be either deleted
(persumed destoryed during the invasion) or reconsolidated into a new
fleet due to heavy losses. (probably incorporated into the most senior
of the five fleets)  I don't know if 'displaced' is such a good description
of what happened to fleets from conqured areas.  It seem unlikely that
these fleets would withdraw and let their keep be overrunned unless they've
taken significant losses.

However, If the Aslan Ihati and the Regency are at peace in the New Era,
these fleets could be re-established with Aslan Ships.

Also about 1/2 to 2/3 of Aramis Subsector was overrun by the Vargr
Invasions.  I would imagine the 214th also took a beating before this was
allowed to happen.  If the terrority was not retaken by the time of the
New Era the 214th would probably still exist but expect it to have shiny new
TL-16 ships and performing quite aggressive patrols along the frontiers.

The 193rd fleet would be tasked with the job of keeping the Swordworlders
in line (punitive strikes/aggressive patrols/showing the Regency banner).

Given the proximity of 43rd fleet to the area of the Aslan conquest, I
would expect the 18th (Lanth) fleet be re-delopyed to help cover that
subsector's border with the Swordworlds.

Considering the central location of the 73rd (Mora) and 23rd (Rhylanor)
Fleets, these would probably be the original core of the Patro.  Expect
to find large number of high jump performance battle squadrons here.

The same would go for the Deneb Fleets.  I don't have a map of the Sector
so I'll leave it to other to ponder their fates.  However the Reft fleets
are probably gone.  Dulinor wouldn't let go of 188 perfectly good fighting
ships so nearby.

p.s. Great listing.

p.p.s. BTW I beleive the Deneb 212th (Lamas) should be 213th.  Still
conflict with the Regina fleet though.
