How many capes does the E88 have at the start of cannon?

WoG says that a good chunk of the Empire’s cape post-Bakuda were either brought in due to her, or brought in by Purity, with the actual core E88 being pretty small, but I’m trying to figure out which cape fits into which category.

Here’s what I have so far

Core E88: always there
Kaiser
Fenja
Menja
Kreig-ish: noted as being tied to the E88, but also often being off on missions for the German Nazis bridge (I will not try to spell that damn name, so they’re the German nazi brigade for this post)

The Pure: Purity and those confirmed to have been brought in because of her
Purity
Night and Fog: previously in Boston

Hookwolf’s gang: hold loyalty to Hookwolf, but also seem to be relatively long-standing fixtures in BB
Hookwolf
Stormtiger
Cricket

Clans: the redneck Nazis
Victor
Othala
Rune will be mentioned below

Murky: ones that im not a hundred percent sure about
Alabaster: unknown, may have been one of the capes brought in by Purity due to working together during the unmasking, but not confirmed
Crusader: closeness with Purity and how he talks about her and Kaiser make it seem like he’s one of the capes she brought back into the fold
Rune: contradiction in WoG, one says that she’s part of the Clan, but another says that she got connected with Kreig through an uncle, who then set her and her family up in BB, making her more of a permanent member
Jotun: has a very Nazis name and is probably part of the Empire, but not confirmed
Musphilheim and Neiflhein (butched that name, but meh): appear after Levi, may be fresh triggers

So that’s 3-5 core members, 3 with Hookwolf, 3-5 from Purity, 2-3 with the clans, and 3-5 general Nazis who may not have been part of the empire at story’s start

Anyone know anything else to narrow things down?

I’m writing a scene for a fanfic where Victor, Othala, and Crusader are arrested by the PRT. For Othala, containment is pretty simple: handcuff her and keep her away from any allies. Victor could be foamed or handcuffed with orders for the guards to do something if he tried to use his power, but Crusader can act effectively while in containment foam and his ghosts don’t really need his direct control

How would then PRT deal with someone like him during an arrest?

Do any fics with this pairing exist?

I’m a new freshman (democracy scholar specifically) and I’m trying to figure out what classes I need to register for, I’m a bit confused

Also, where can I find the course catalog, I couldn’t figure out where it is

Thanks

Why are ASF and tanks 2 to a Point for the clans?

The answer is probably that mech jocks think they’re worse than mechs, but that gap isn’t 2 to 1, so making them each have 2 per point would give any fight between a mech point and vehicle point skew heavily towards the vehicles, with the same going for ASF. This seems odd considering that would make tanks and ASF the most effective combatant for trials, which isn’t how the mech jocks would like it

120 missile tubes, enough said. An SRM carrier won’t live long enough to need more than one or two salvos, so no problem there, maybe only a hundred missiles for LRM to get extra ammo.

Doesn’t that sound “fun”

Anyone else really want to see Elcor enemies in the next game?

From what is known, they seem kinda terrifying. VI-assisted warriors with heavy artillery on their back and drone support. It seems like they could be very fun opponents

The scale of the Geth forces in ME1 isn’t something that’s ever been fully stated, though some facts give some rough scale of “big”

Firstly, the level of damage the Citadel Attack did to the fleets of the other races. The scale of damage described in the later games, where a substantial portion of the naval power of each race was lost (leaving room for humanity’s rise), couldn’t have been done through sovereign’s strength alone, as ME3 showed with the reaper dreadnoughts being strong, but “beat a small fleet” strong, not “manhandle a good chunk of the galactic military” strong. This means the Geth forces in the battle had to be reletivly potent, not just backup dancers.

More than that, the ME2 heretic codex claims that the forces in the war could have been, according to Cerberus “as little as 5 percent” of the Geth, which is quite a substantial force when considering how big the Geth military is (having nearly as many dreadnoughts as the turians)

How big do y’all think the Geth forces were during the Eden Prime War?

How much of an engine’s mass goes into each component? There are three main components to a fusion engine I can think of: the engine itself, the myomer, and the shielding. The shielding has to at least take up 2/3rds of the mass considering how XXL engines work, likely far more considering there has to be at least some shielding left in the XXL. How much is that remaining shielding mass, and how much goes into the reactor itself and the myomer?

I am a new student coming in for the fall 2026 semester and I don’t entirely understand how the system is supposed to work for this and where the different forms I need to fill out are and I’m having some trouble finding information on the specifics, could someone explain it?

I was just reading TRO: 3025, and it mentions the Wolf’s Dragoons using a platoon of Galleon tanks. It got me thinking: how large were the conventional (combat vehicle and infantry) forces attached to the Wolf’s Dragoons. They clearly exist, but was it just a few stray companies of tanks and infantry at most, or did they have more?
