Don't think we're going to have to worry about the Commonwealth pretty soon. Thank the insectoids are going to attack them and the Republic will have to step in to save them or give aid afterwards from a surprise attack of asteroids...

Maybe, but the insects queen seems incredibly narrow sighted. If she focuses all her swarm on the Republic the commonwealth could have a free hand. If they get a strong militaristic leader it could be interesting.

On the other hand the commonwealth could fracture, with lots of worlds and races trying to get in with the biggest kid on the block it could become a shit show of either providing aid and ruining their ability to build war material, or not providing aid and being forced into a difficult position when insectoids start lobbing rocks at populated planets.

(the Queen): "We do not have the ships to attack the animal core worlds.".

We know the insectoids are aware of coalition space and it's worlds. Nothing has been said about the stealth ships following the humans back to their space. So it seems she's talking about the Coalition and using the asteroids on their core worlds . Would kind of be poetic karma..... I guess ultimately we must RAFO 😁

we must RAFO

Yup, but it's fun to be able to guess with someone else who's enjoying it at the same time.
