Excellent writing, as usual. :)

Ah, ouch. As always, excellent update. :)

That's generally the "problem" with quality writing, it leaves you desperate for moar! :D

Out of sheer curiosity, how do you intend to hold the planet against counter-attacks once you've taken it? Otherwise great story, my only complaint is that it hooks too much and waiting for chapters has me on withdrawal... :D

In practical terms the knowledge is immediately useful only for those with proper industrial infrastructure that can turn it into finished goods - so that means key arms manufacturers, who are / should be secure and trustworthy almost by definition... ;)

Even conventional artillery that can be pre-sighted on most likely landing zones can put the dropships into a world of hurt as they try to set down and disembark. You just need a good command system to call in bombardment on designated coordinates.

Well, they'd better make serious investments in internal security and an even bigger one in aerospace wing. Because if word ever gets out, there's quite nothing that powers that be wouldn't do to capture / destroy the infrastructure...

Or... your (not so) friendly interstellar phone company that is transmitting those orders...

That, or the toaster worshippers will hit, directly or by proxy.
