Summary

A short (6-message) conversation about post-World War 3 drone warfare, centered on Perold Jonas's theoretical "swarming doctrine" and his 1994 book on the subject. Introduced substantial new canon:

• Sable Fangs — a bandit coalition that seized Kila Vas in the lawless years following WW3
• 2nd Brigade — informally (and misleadingly) called the "Imperial Task Force"; the Empire's post-WW3 stabilization force, working alongside the Janastian Warhawks
• Great Arin Desert — Kila Vas sits on its edge (new geographic detail)
• The Battle of Kila Vas (Hypothetical Case Study) — ✅ confirmed hypothetical by the creator — an illustrative case study within Jonas's book, not a real historical campaign. Jonas's (then a Colonel, within the hypothetical) first large-scale test of his drone-swarm doctrine against the Sable Fangs
• "Toward a Swarming Doctrine" (1994) — one of Jonas's 40+ published books, with a partial outline and two referenced-but-undetailed case studies (The Siege of Yanastor, 1986; Operation Iron Net, 1988)
• Updated Perold Jonas's own timeline with these 1992/1994 entries

Open Questions

• The Battle of Kila Vas's outcome and the Sable Fangs' ultimate fate — source material was cut off mid-battle
• Whether the battle is real in-universe history or a hypothetical illustration within Jonas's own book — the book's own outline describes it as "hypothetical" despite treating it with the specificity of a real historical event
• The Siege of Yanastor (1986) and Operation Iron Net (1988) — named but not detailed
