> From: George,Eugene M <Eugene.M.George@kp.ORG> This depends on the background of your campaign. If you are assuming that many worlds are colonized, then each world will probably have a small population and therefore a small armed force. This being the case the above fits well. However, if you have a campaign with a small number of life-sustaining worlds, the population of these worlds will be quite large. And there will probably be a correspondingly large armed force. If this background is used the planetary force would be the major force and little or no backup would be expected (naval help maybe). In a setting like this, you would have to commit _major_ ground forces. Imagine the ground forces it would take to subdue present day earth (if you only had conventional weapons).
