They've been able to assassinate friendly politicians and escape before our response teams arrive.

That implies a level of tech beyond the 1800s. Someone has been smuggling stuff to them.
The Planet is also a Moderately advanced world at class C, so really it's more who planet side supplied them with equipment to bug out, even with our statalites and drones tracking area's.

Only world thats marked as F is Contrilla with like 20k people.

So yes, I think we should send an army.

Even if it's overkill, it sends a message that religious violence will not be tolerated.
 
They didn't assassinate politicians (or enough that it'd be mentioned specifically), they didn't use advanced tech to kill people, and they didn't use advanced tech to escape. As stated in the text, fanatics attacked teachers and other Republic-associated people in broad daylight and Republic security personnel were so overwhelmed by the number of cases, they couldn't respond to them all.

I'm just waiting for leaked broadcasts from a Tucker Carlson esque persona from the Federated Suns to start making rants like What did the Outback ever do for the Federated Suns? They are filth and should be grateful for what we already give them!!
 
To which the accurate answer is of course that the outback has paid taxes at the march and national level for untold centuries but never received any investment that meaningfully remedied the dire situation on either level due to the widespread insistence on directing all meaningful subsidy expenditures towards already developed worlds. It receives nothing, and gives much. It is eternally the subject of extractive colonialism from its own government, what little real wealth it manages to produce siphoned away by rulers who have never even considered its plight to fund new factories on New Syrtis, New Avalon, and Robinson and thus denied to the medical, education, and infrastructural development agencies of the region.

But a right wing spheroid pundit of course gains their daily bread by not engaging with the actual answers to their questions.

An Outback March, full independence, or a return to the Taurian fold - any of those would work for these victims of extraction colonialism, to help them reinvest in their own economy, to build their own future, to secure them foreign aid, to free them from the greedy hand of the Federated Revenues Ministry and the miserly hand of the Federated Public Works Ministry.

I'll admit to being a little curious as to how Michael Hasek-Davion is running the Capellan March these days, when compared against the current outback worlds. You know, the March which he's supposed to be in charge of in the first place.

Although I'm pretty sure the people there are already yelling over the Capellan Confederation's new revanchism with regards to the Mandate, because that's kinda what they do there, even in canon: yell over everything Capellan-related.
 
We also did a lot of yelling over the Capellans in this quest. They're good at inspiring such a response.
And currently their 1 upping us on the whole "who gave you more support" side of things before the military intervention kicks off. Frankly if i was more cynical i'd think the Capellans tipped off the mandate to our movements to make people join them once the war is over due to our failings.

Although our Cybornetic forces are doing good work regardless.
 
It was one of the less bad warships that was ever designed. That doesn't mean it was well designed, it just means it avoided the stunning depths of badness Inner Sphere naval designers so often aspired toward.
 
The Mekenna were kind of shit actually
Their class, the armor they held, the damange they could dump, and the role they played in a fleet? They where good, just not perfect mini maxed "I have only 10k tonnage for supplies, offload it to dropships" kind of ships like say a Robinson or Tharkad. Then again that ship was also technically supposed to be more powerfull lore wise but gameplay wise after aerospace rules got dropped it ended up downgranded for seeminly no reason.

It needs to either lose weight to be aProper battlecrusier or drop speed and be a battleship. 1.6 mill is too heavy for a 4/6.

I think the correct term for the Ship was Commandcruiser, rather then as a battleship or battlecruiser. It also double as a supplyship as well with it's cargo bay. So if you want to upgrade a Mc kenna to either of those roles, it's going to need to lose the cargo bay. Clan version i think does this.

Truely a ship designed for an age of peace.
Edit: No really the thing has 255,382 tons of cargo bay space, thats enough to give it either more speed, or simply as you stated lose some weight.

Side note on warships, the FWL along controls 4 worlds which are capable of soon creating compact drives, if not the drives to move a warship itself. Which makes sense as besides help from the Comstar they also have a large jumpship building base in general. No wonder they managed so many warships built in so little time. And of such large size as well.
 
So again why fast? You still haven't explained why we need speed here.
Our forces have a limited window to prevent a potental cluster fuck of the outback exploding and drawing away the TC, the FWL invading and cutting off the MoC from easily supporting our advance, and the Mandate simply deciding it's better to make things worse for us on the front's we can attack with a quick shifting of forces. More so when more of our attention would be on the Outback to prevent someone from deciding nukes are back on the menue.

We need speed for this mission. LUDICROUS SPEED to be exact.

So let the planet meltdown into a civil war then. That is only to our benefit since we can then materially support our side and let them crush the opposition without getting our hands dirty.
