Starfleet Jedi

basically what the title says after the bugs get mopped up the Federation encounters a stable wormhole to the GFFA and begin exploration eventually making peaceful contact with the rebellion.

This is Heinlens novel version

hows this go?

Galactic Empire gets raped.

Is this the GFFA from the Saxton-authored ICS, or the movie and TCW one? If the latter, the novel TF will stomp the Galactic Empire.

really it's that bad? just what are the novel capabilities?

Planet-busting bombs, starships that can glass planets for space.

Guys in power-armor that lets them punch through tanks, and armed with machine guns, pulse rifles, flamethrowers, and 2-kiloton nuclear grenades for the ground.

Yeah, the GE gets sodomized by the TF.

Not really, you want a setting that uses lots of power armor like Rifts/Phase World, or 40K I think.

wait a second. bree, are you saying you never read 'starship troopers'? dude, it's like a hundred pages long! it takes an hour, tops, and it's absolute class. for the love of god, go and read it. have you read any heinlein at all?

Powered armor or humanoid robots and more also exist in Star Trek ground combat:





This is from DS9's "Business as Usual", and it's where we also see the Breen CRM-114 that can cut through armor, and through 4.6 gigajoule force fields.

I have read nothing of the man sadly..I need to though

Heinlen's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" is a good one, if you want to read a decent story dealing with the benefits of a frontier-style anarco-libertarian society versus a more authoritarian and (possibly) socialist one.

LMAO
no offense, honest to god, but jesus! i would love, just once, to hear someone ask for something that niche.

'hey guys, can anyone recommend a decent story dealing with the benefits of a frontier-style anarco-libertarian society versus a more authoritarian and (possibly) socialist one? thanks.'

personally i think everything heinlein ever wrote is worth reading, at least for the odd flavor and amusement factor. i've never been bored by a heinlein story.

No, if I wanted something really niche, I'd have recommended something else instead, like "Escape from Terra". Pretty much an anarcho-capitalist porn webcomic. Or to think of it another way, imagine if Jack Chick was a hard-core anarcho-capitalist instead of a Fundamentalist Christian who decided to draw a tract for that sort of crowd.

That's Sandy Sandfort.
