Or are there other hawks in the Remnant cabinet?  I was looking for more specific names, but I couldn't find any of the ones for specific generals named anywhere.  Do you have any suggestions there?  The only name I could find of a hawk just happened to be Mr. Leirvik...

Nope, I'm terrible with characters, and don't see the point in creating them unless I have a use for them.

Though, how do you jam only the space between Wintreath and Acaria? As far as I can tell, that would just result in a massive communications blackout, not just with Wintreath, but with everywhere.

That's kind-of what I figured, so I used that one out of convenience... realistically it would probably be some really anti-negotiation hard-liner general of the caste that you sort-of eluded to in your post but never outright named the members of.

  Signal jamming (at least atm) is generally arrived at through the use of destructive interference, which is essentially simply the inverse of the signal being broadcasted.  I'm assuming that this concept holds with futuristic technology as well, as messages can be sent by the diplomats and command; they're just neutralised before they reach the receiving end. 

Technically, one could block all communications galaxy-wide by emitting massively fluctuating waves on all frequencies, but there would be a diminishing effect as you got further from the source of the huge emissions, which could then be bypassed by sort-of editing out the interference... but in this case all that's being done (I would think) would be the emission of a destructive (ie the inverse) signal, and then some sort of randomized interference that wouldn't follow any sort of pattern.

From my brief reading of signal jamming, it seems that, while theoretically possible, using destructive interference for jamming is basically impossible, especially with modern communications using frequency-hopping. (Of course, there might be all sorts of classified military technology that can jam that way.) Rather, jamming seems to usually be accomplished by flooding a frequency (or a wide range of them) with noise, creating a DOS attack.

Don't forget, Avonite's are on Frosthold Planet and are top of the class when it comes to Jammers. They would know who would have access to tech like this...

Don't forget that the Aesir have alternate means of communication. One method is feared by all peoples.

@North why did you introduce the diplomat and ecstatic so abruptly?

They were there before, watching. They couldn't do anything while Innsmouth was there but couldn't hang around long after he left so they acted quickly.

Should the Tal Shiar assassinate this ecstatic...

Or will Commander Gela reach Avon in time to ally with the group that the ecstatic represents? The saga continues tomorrow at 10!

Even the Tal Shiar would have trouble killing an Ecstatic on an Avonite Ship.

Oh, I thought he was on the ground.  Scheiße.

Bump

So inactive now...

Anyone who can post, please do.

I'm waiting on tau. Also the Avonite ambassador already spoke, Ara.
