Other than that, I like what you're going towards. Medwedia and the Injunction are technologically disadvantaged, but this disadvantage is compensated by far greater numbers and propaganda. Medwedia (and probably the Injunction) is more likely to use WMD's or send people on suicide missions that the Talven Empire or the Directorate. Nope.

Although I did get the Injunction numbers wrong. I meant 25 trillion, not 250 trillion.

But that's actually considered average for the Injunction, and small for the Directorate. When it comes to terms of fights between galactic powers and intergalactic powers, you have populations of trillions, if not quadrillions. Many of the larger powers here have troops numbers in the quadrillions (like these). I had the same reaction too (It took more than a bit of effort for the people in the Discord to get me to believe it), don't worry - but these numbers are based on the way recruitment goes, and it's perfectly acceptable to have military in the trillions.

But don't worry about those numbers. In the terms of the greater FDIW, the LSA is simply not important enough to completely flood the place with billions of soldiers. Millions will be more than adequate as reinforcements, since the Injunction and the Directorate are throwing their troops at each other across two different galaxies.
