	Such high-level debates are none of your concern, though, as a transfer pilot to the 121st Shadow Daggers, in [[Alpha Centauri]]. Still scarred from battles with the [[Neo-Terran Front]] and facing the same economic downturn as the rest of the the Alliance, the officers in this system have more practical and immediate concerns to deal with than how the tax code should treat Capellan refugees or even how the military fleet should look in twenty years' time. Former NTF elements still mark [[~~vasudan~~]] civilians for death, and elements of the population have turned to violence and piracy to acquire the resources they desire.
