Questionable Candidates
Davute cared a lot about the major mech design commissions that Patriarch Ves Larkinson agreed to fulfill.
If his promised mech designs impacted the Federal Military of Davute just as much as his Hexer mech designs had done for the Hex Army, then that was already worth the price of constructing half-a-dozen multiple fleet carriers!
The Federal Military demanded more than that, though.
Anyone who studied the only war between two major second-rate states where living mechs were utilized on a massive scale learned that these special machines could not single-handedly win a war.
They could make a difference alright, but there were many other factors that could also affect the chances that a state could win or lose a massive conflict.
Davute had an extensive staff of military officers, strategists and other clever people that had conducted a lot of research and information gathering on the living mechs designed by Patriarch Ves Larkinson.
