But that might be entirely intentional. At no point is it stated that Loren is A. The good gal or B. Remotely in control or competent. We could all be running around following the actions of someone who thinks they are on top of things and who, in fact is clueless and reckless. I'm sure we have all met those sorts at work before. People who are utterly confidant in there opinions and abilities, who are in fact arrogant and incompetent.
And that is partly how I see her. She is barely more that a teenager, with a highly privileged and yet, abuse ridden upbringing, thrust into galactic politics with the biggest players, who all have vastly more knowledge and resources and are happy to try and use her. She started the war in Prism precisely because she took an aloof attitude and did not know what she was doing. Whether she has learned from that remains to be seen. The point being that she is clearly a highly flawed character in a very hi stakes scenario. From that point of view I think Drew has done great job.
Indeed it will be very interesting if she keep messing things up and it turns out she really does not have a clue what she is doing and desperately clinging onto paper thin evidence and is just stringing people along to try and achieve her ends, whilst becoming more and more desperate and out of control. I don't think that is the case however. I do think she has evidence of some very big and very important things that have been covered up. However I do think she is highly flawed. But I (Saool) am prepared to go along for the ride to see what she has uncovered.
What, she's had a compleatly standard Imperial upbringing? Are you saying being raised as an aristocrat in itself is abuse?

I think we need to keep in mind where we're actually at.
1. Kahina lives!
2. Imperial bounty.
3. Imperials split over it.
All the C.o.R. lovely posters are a heads up, a four weeks in advance heads up for us, to get the community engaged.
I get why but personally would have preferred the other route of surprise and shock with maybe some wiggle room for players to get into place after that. Its not like the timing, galnets and circumstances wont already have most folks back in the bubble at the time.
I mean sure you built your Trump shelter and are keeping it stocked but what are the real chances you're going to have your hand on it's door when the sirens go off. There's not going to be a campaign telling you to be bunkered April 29th at 18:00. Odds are you're more than five minutes short of getting fried. When the going gets tough the smart get out of Dodge.
