1. If Comstar were to set up a new factory somewhere to produce more gear, where would you think they would place it?

2. If the Bandersnatch ever re-entered regular production, would anyone actually buy it?

3. What would happen to the Word of Blake if they were handed a military defeat?

3A. How would the Free Worlds League handle a WoB defeat?

4. What would happen if Comstar or someone else attempted to re-take Earth?

1.) Deep Periphery, Rasalhague holdings, or in Stainer space (coin is what rules there and ComStar still has) maybe in space in possession of wardens, but Arc Royal doesn't look like safe place to me (neither does the neighborhood of Ghost Bear clan). I think that they would try to obtain hardware from IS manufacturers primarily.

2.) It is in regular production. Kressly Warworks produce it on Epsilon Eridani. Buyers are mainly from Mercenaries and Chaos March militaries. (TRO 3055 Upgrades)

3.) They would try again, but it would somewhat loose prestige in FWL. Thomas Marik while clone, doesn't look that much like a WoB supporter, so this would give him some leverage to keep the WoB in line.

4.) Without some REALLY good plan including a lot of sneaking and total secret from WoB eyes it would be a BLOODY affair. I think that the Sol still has working orbital defenses on much higher level than anywhere else, is stocked with nukes and has production capacities and reserves to withstand long siege. Not to mention all those mothballed WarShips... and Blakist terrorists in your realm.

Anyone trying to do this would expose his realm to it's neighbors and deplete his armies, so after that he would need to hold his prize, which may be harder than taking it, because anyone in IS can smell money. Clans would also be ready to fulfill their destiny = mess.

5. What would happen if the WoB was no longer able to get 160-rated fusion engines for the Pinto VTOL from the factory on Robinson?

6. What would happen if the MRBC discovered that the WoB was hiring mercenaries in order to try and stage their jihad?

7. What would happen if terrorists / rebels destroyed parts of the weapons factories on Ares and Necromo in the Cappellan Confederation?

8. What would happen if the Free Rasalhague Republic decided to try and muster the forces to re-take one of their worlds?

5. They would use generic 160 engine... I think that Terra has the production capability to cover the demand and they may find another source quickly before the Jihad starts.

Official nothing. Because the official answer would be that the WoB used cutouts and third parties to hire the mercs...

If they are allied with the Bears, then they won't have to retake anything. Other wise about as much chance as snowcone in hell on cold day.
