Cappelans, lore and hate

[Oxygenus]

As far as i can see they are hated in community. But what is shown in DLC is that FS invaides them and commits several war crimes (btw some very similar to irl war crimes commited by ru in Ukraine). I understand game is not covering all the BT lore, so can someone please explain what is going on regarding Liao?

Nice try, Capellan.

Invades? You mean special operation to secure House Davion and the Federated Suns.

The Capellan Maskirovka has repeatedly... Without Cause; tried to assassinate members of house Davion, as well as, repeatedly endangering the Federated Suns.

It's ridiculous to let the Capellans sit there and catch their breath. They're vulnerable, and we should be all over them like a bad smell.

MW5 does a very poor job explaining the causes of the 4th Succession War. Essentially, every successor state wants to plant their ruler as head of the reformed Star League. The primary way the Capellans did this was by sponsoring terrorist actions and assassinations against the other states.

One of their plots revolved around putting a replacement of Prince Hanse Davion on the throne of the Federated Suns, and this one came very close to actually working. The Davions never forgave them, and after seeing what the Capellans did to the man used as the replacement (mentally broke him and recreated his personality), they concluded House Liao was too great a threat to the Federated Suns, their own people, and the general status quo to remain in a position of power.

Their public moral justification was that House Liao was operating an oppressive police state (mostly true) and they were bringing freedom to the Capellan people (dubious - none of the successor states are true democracies).

The capellan confederation is based on China that should explain most of it

Quasi-feudal states battering for dominance. Thats explains all of it. And the setting and narative was created in 80'. So its a cold war era fiction..

Aside from all that there's also the fact that they are the most convenient target in THIS game at any rate. You don't really lose out on anything by making them your primary target, certainly when playing a Campaign and especially if you have the Kestrel Lancers dlc.

Its all fluff. Reminiscent of IRL.

(The "bandits" were more Capellans)

[Wayz]

They don't have any high level conflict zones or industrial zones and as such they are by default in mw5 a faction to go kicking for a paycheck. They should have been closer to Terra if wanted to be otherwise. Tis their own fault really.

The only good Capellan is a dead Capellan, so let's make some good Capellans!!!

There is litteraly a dude who started a war IRL because he likes some cold era conspiracy theories so yeah, i guess it is still kinda viable

So a state like that really has no war crimes done or something? Sure curita has more resourses to have some fun but cappelans are honestly seem to be not that small compared to independant states
