Masada: State of Affairs

In essence, the Protector's Own would still be protecting Grayson by stamping out this sort of evil in the galaxy. Masada, ditto.

Heck, the Protector's Own probably can handle any other system on its own except any of the powerhouses.

There was an entire thread devoted to the possibility versus impossibility of some system deciding to enforce the Eridani Edict now that the League might not be able to do so; so I am not going to repeat the arguments.

What on Earth are you talking about? Did you not read your own sentence where you said: "Grayson adjudicated AND punished violators of the Edict"? Obviously "enforcement" is deciding something bad was done (adjudication) and holding someone responsible (punishment).

I never imagined Grayson punishing alone. Wouldn't it be a concerted effort of the GA?

Regardless, it certainly would be poetic Justice if judgement rained down from the System of the Sword.

Can you imagine a powerful union between two religious systems becoming the moral center of the galaxy? The system could rightfully replace the SLN in adjudicating and punishing violators of the Eridani Edict.
