Ever since Outreach 3051 Victor has been pretty tight with Theodore and Hohiro Kurita and he has been really tight with Omi Kurita. He and Omi have had quite a deep relationship since the Star League conference. Will the Combine give up forces to back-up Victor in this final showdown with Katherine? They will certainaly recognize and assist him politically, but are things good enough between them for the Combine not to rebel if Theodore orders troops into the fight. The Kuritans have just finished a devestating war with Clan Ghost Bear, but also remember that Theodore is now serving as First Lord of the Star League. What do you all think?

1) Kuritans enjoy fighting
2) Kuritans enjoy killing Lyrans
3) Kuritans enjoy killing Davions
If Theodore was to enter the Civil War, he would probably gain a great deal of support from the DCMS.
On the other hand, the Lyrans and the Davions wouldn't appreciate it much.

First there is no way that Theodore would allow the DCMS to assist the Lyran bastards in any way. And why would not Victor want the Combine's help. He has a lot of pull inside and outside of FedCom, but he is still going to need all the help he can get.

They (the Combine) might have given troops to help Victor in roles of peacekeeping or as needed if he was in need of them as to end the war quickly, but with the recent attacks by forces in the Draconis March on the Combine, I don't see Theo giving any troops to Victor and with the rising problems in the Combine, I don't see him having the troops to spare.

There are Lyrans and Davions on BOTH sides of this war. We don't call it a Civil War for nothing. Personally, I'm a Lyran, but I support Victor.
>>>And why would not Victor want the Combine's help. He has a lot of pull inside and outside of FedCom, but he is still going to need all the help he can get. <<<
Because a lot of folks would see him as turning over their realm to its mortal enemy.

2 good reasons why Victor wouldn't ask for DCMS help if he wants a chance to win:
1) DCMS attacks on Skye, and annexation of the Lyon's Thumb in 3062
2) DCMS attacks on Robinson and other Draconis March worlds in late 3062
Asking the DCMS to aide him is a sure way to turn most FedSuns and Lyrans against him, it's bad enough that he's sleeping with the Coordinator's daughter.

Theodore Kurita will not enter the Federated Commonwealth Civil War.
The most obvious reason for this is that it would be counter-productive. At the moment he is trying to assimilate the Nova Cats and work with the Star League, two things which would be difficult at the best of times, and only more so in the current climate.
The other point is that as long as the AFFS and LAAF are doing such a good job of ripping each other up, there is no point in committing DCMS troops. If Theodore thinks he can expand bloodlessly, he will (the Lyon's Thumb, anyone?), but risking troops in such a volatile environment is not his style. In the chaos following the wake of whoever wins trying to establish their power, he might send in 'Peace-keepers' who conviniently neglect to leave, though. I know I would.
Yea, verily. Let it be known far and wide that Nightward loathes MW: DA. Indeed, it is with the BURNING ANIMUS OF A THOUSAND SUNS that he doth rage against it with.
