@Eco - I see your points. Durrandon is a powerful speaker, but as the Troodontids are under your administration for the time being I will leave it to you to make the final decision.

However, I must add two points of my own. Durrandon might welcome former Brotherhood fighters and has several living Vermillions in his ranks, but he currently has more Mirusian territory than most of his enemies (by volume, not power), and has a powerful, well-trained armada. Turning down an alliance with him, however temporary, on the grounds of who he hires is a strategic military blunder.

Second, ICO is currently drawing up plans to invade the UBA. Durrandon hates them, the Draconians hate them, the Vermillions hate them, the former Brotherhood hates them. That war is going to happen in Durrandon's mind, and when it does he'll be quite open to whatever deal would get the Troodontids on his side. After all, with the upcoming neutrality treaty with the Mendel, Durrandon will be focusing much of his power on two things: curbing the influence of the Dark One, and invading Vanara territory. Both of those sound like something the Troodontids might want a deal in.

Also, where does the EE fit in all this? Will they be supportive of Durrandon's warmongering or will they try to get him to target somebody else?
