@Zhuul: If Kuvakei strips away the lesser human populations that are what enable the Capsuleers their massive logistics, the Capsuleers will fall apart unless pure automation (Rogue Drones, Sleepers) is achieved.
If trillions serve the Nation and only a couple billion survive in Capsuleer outposts, etc, they will lose because they cannot sustain the human population levels. That is even under the best assumption they manage to organize themselves well enough to stop infighting and internal losses.
The 'threat' is not immediate, but it is a definite end to the Capsuleer way unless its very nature changes.
