Also, on the subject of Dominatus hyperspatial weapons: that makes perfect sense, and actually makes the situation a lot more interesting. GD and I discussed what hyperspatial weapons the Tyranny had during the Dominatus War, and they didn't actually develop anti-ship hyperspatial missiles. Instead, their research was on galactic hyperspatial cruise missiles, capable of bombarding stationary planets and installations from the other side of the Galaxy. They had plans to build intergalactic versions of these weapons, but that research was in its very early stages. These weapons would be huge, essentially the Sporewiki equivalent of ICBM's. This could make the IoW extremely dangerous, acquiring galactic WMD's before France manages to develop them in the postwar. Having hyperspatial anti-ship missiles requires a whole set of technologies the DT didn't have.
