But who would they pitch in with? The Andermani perhaps? Could the union between those two somehow turn out to be advantageous for both of them after the Andermani was once worried about SL aggression?
The Andermani were part of the Grand Alliance as an outcome of the partitioning of the Silesian Confederacy, but agreed to be neutral in the fight against the Solarian League. I expect the agreement to ally with Manticore, Haven and Grayson (and others?) is still in place, since they are getting the latest GA weapon systems.
Why shouldn't the new Solarian League work to a point where they can get a Pact with the Grand Alliance?
I see no reason for them not to. I even suggested it in another thread. In fact, it seems to me to be a natural progression of things to come; and it is predicted by this.
It goes a little something like this in the Darius system. "Darn, we prodded the hornets' nest(s) and now all of the nests have joined together!"
