When writing the Shattering of Mrak'resfj, I was flipping through my Playlist to find good music for it.
I ended up listening to the "Davy Jones" track from the score to Pirates of the Caribbean 2. It had, to me, the right kind of somber and dramatic beat.

The ex-wife is a bit of bitch when ever a uniform is in sight isn't she? I would have reacted... Poorly to the blackmail she tried on the boy. For example I once suggested to my mother that she could feel free to find other uses for her money if she disliked me buying comic books on my allowence. I believe I was unfairly called stubborn for that.

A) There might still be some people who are religious.
B) As Mike Wong pointed out once, even atheists use the word "God" at times. When you've just killed your best friend and feel the need for forgiveness......

So Miller is running protests to let the colonists go? I thought she would have been full of fire to keep them in the Federation lest they become an unenlightened danger to the Galaxtic peace she prattles on about.

But fighting a war is WRONG.
Miller is one of the pacifists who will stick to it no matter what comes, until she dies broken. They are, of course, a rarity, and most of her followers are going to switch camps on her.

Good writing Steve, I gotta say though I'm sadden that the urban arts of the combat engineer seem to be dead and gone in that universe. I would have collapsed buildings, laid mines and even blown apart streets (what's the sewer system like in Jefferson?) to slow and stall the Feddie tanks. Admittedly all that would have done is slow and constrict the armored advance but more importantly the infantry would have been stripped of armor support... Do I have to explain why that would be important folks?
You only think the battle was expensive before you let the engineers run free and wild.

I thoroughly approve of the third issue of GitMS. I'm just a little mad that there aren't more views of the story.
How much of the repercussions of the civil war are you planning on showing in the story? I remember you were talking about things such as the collapse of the Ferengi economy but I don't remember if you mentioned if those were going to be officially elaborated upon in the story.
Tell Ed thanks for writing the stories. The Zohan were cute in WPP but they almost seemed cartoonish. Taloran children or space-gnomes, as one person said. Here, they're a very serious species fleeing for their survival.
Question: I thought the Zohan themselves were the ones that introduced the inter-universal drive since that's what they made in order to flee. Was I confused about that?
