It's said that there was a "cold war" back on Old Earth that lasted for several planetary decades. The one between the starcolonies of Atalanta and Boadicea has stretched out for more than a thousand of Earth's years. Although the two nations have never actually come to blows directly, they have sustained huge scientific programmes and undoubtedly have the most sophisticated forces in the galaxy today. They have not been slow to use other people's wars as testing-grounds for their latest systems. But now it's over. The two great rivals , in the persons of their special envoys, have ended centuries of hostility. The two women are grinning and chatting like old friends. So now the galaxy must wonder, if these two immensely potent nations were to join forces, who could stand against them? Thyssa (right) from FyDesigns (3DCommune). Hair from DAZ.
