Eridani nato?

just a thought. the solar league is probably far up on the in-universe list of nations likey to violate the edict (even though they made it themselves). While manticore itself is saying their not doing things outside thier borders, won't get involve, etc because they don't want to end up like the solar league. Although i suspect even though they did say that they would enforce the edict. but they might also make other nations nervous because it looks like they might have violate it themself (we know better, but i'm thinking in unviverse).It's hard to prove a negative. for that matter just the number of attempts at violations, in very recent history have to make a lot of star nations nervous. So the idea is someone on some planet with knowledge of history, gets together with some other planets, and says if you throw missle at one of our planets all these other planets would act as if you threw missles at them. the only problem i see with it is, from my understanding most nations don't have large fleets, prehaps a single hyper cable ship at most, if not just lacs. So it won't help against the big boys (unless you could get one of them to join itself). but would it prevent others from getting funny ideas?

I do not think that you need a full NATO treaty to enforce a new prohibition on Eridani Violations, but a treaty just for that specific purpose would suffice. It would have to be between the new Solarian League and the Grand Alliance and any one else that wishes to sign on.

We have heard arguments in the past that no one is big enough to enforce this in the face of the threat of an annihilation strike, but I do not believe that. It would require someone (such as the Malign) whose home planet was unknown. So far the Malign's plans have all involved operating behind the scenes, trying to manipulate without being noticed. Planetary strikes have not been part of their bag of tricks. But we shall see.
