Nice site and thanks for the link.

Indeed the long distance and the limitation on amount of tonnage an ISV can carry would be a logistical nightmare for a massive scale military invasion. However I agree with Justin Strife that states the ISV is only one of the twelve ships with state of the art technology in transportation and logistic which is used for commercial purpose. What about other dozens of ships that were used for exploration as stated in the link? What about military ones? Sure it’ll take a while for them to reach Pandora but in the end they will reach there. The weapons load out limitation would surely be compensated with a probable huge amount of fleet the humans are bringing should a massive invasion is planned.


Also we find that the RDA held an exclusive mining rights over the unobtanium. Now that they’ve been ousted, most likely they’ll be back for more, maybe this time by bringing their former rivals and competitors. Seeing that unobtanium is indeed an essential requirement for humanity in order for their civilization to progress or even survive (by spacefaring explorations), funds will probably be poured in for R&Ds. And within the link even the RDA is bound to Interplanetary Commerce Administration (ICA) regulation. The ICA prohibits RDA and force them to obey a treaty prohibiting weapons of mass destruction and limitation in military power in space. Now imagine with the absence of unobtanium, a desperate humanity, such limitation is lifted!

We would probably see more R&D and alliances made for a military campaign…

I doubt even Pandora could survive, especially when they let the survivors to went back to space, probably heading back to earth spreading false propagandas….
