Total war in space?

PS I'd REALLY like to discuss 'there is a consensus that this is just "not
done" for the same reasons you don't bomb settled worlds into big glass
marbles....' someday, but there's new rules to be hashed!

Well, my comment was specifically about Cherryh's Merchanter universe.... Jon
(GZG)

AND, I'd really like to discuss later... ;->=

HOWEVER, just about every campaign system I've worked on assumes the same, and
in fact, space 'is fine if that's what those fellows want to
play with, but if they ever harm non-combatants, *I* will be threatened,
and want them hunted down like dogs.' I realize a heck of a lot of current
events say otherwise, but...

That's a discussion for laters.

Well, the game is about space battles, so space battles need to be important.
So it makes sense to design the universe so that they are. (I'm working on an
RPG setting at the moment with similar constraints so I'm very aware of this
at the moment.)
