Yes, the fringe worlds are part of the confederacy, im saying a group of rebels (not the actual rebellion), scattered over the fringe worlds, might have been attacking the confeds (on the ground), because they thought it was the confeds fault that their worlds were destroyed by aliens and they were NOT receiving aid. (remember, the confeds must have used massive amount of resources to create their new ships and defeat the aliens).
Im not saying, "this is exactly what happened",(note the "might"s and "could have"s) im trying to show that there are several ways the confeds might have had more than enough reason/provocation. Since we dont know EXACTLY what happened, we cant draw a definite conclusion. argument open for stomping

Let's see, your world has been blasted to pieces by some alien race. After a long war, the government that united human space has finally succeeded in blowing the invaders out of the galaxy. Since the government was not able to stop them from getting to your world in the first place at the beginning of a war it took years to win, you're going to rebel and start beating on them, right? Especially since they want to rebuild your world and use its resources? I thought not. :rolleyes:
(Gosh, this feels weird, I'm actually arguing that the Confeds did something good.)
There would be no point to such minor rebellion. The real Rebellion wasn't formed until years later, because the Confeds didn't want to give up their power. Further more, David and I and others here are trying to present arguments based on texts in and about Escape Velocity. Your's comes from pure speculation, and rather unfounded speculation at that. Based on all such texts, the Confederations actions in that period were without provocation.
Try to come up with some better arguments for next time.
