After causing a commotion on the surface of Davute VII, there was no way that Ves dared to overstep his boundaries again. Just because his clan managed to avoid the most severe repercussions through a combination of bluffing and bribery didn't mean that he could treat other people's territory as his playground.
This was why holding an event in his own fleet was such a great idea.
"I can do anything I want in my own sovereign territory!"
That wasn't quite true. Spacefaring laws were complex at best, but there were a few general rules that everyone understood.
The Larkinson fleet wasn't actually allowed to act unscrupulously while it was parked in space claimed by other powers.
After all, if the Larkinson Clan tried to conduct a live practice session where mechs employed true ranged weapons, their shots might actually hit a nearby trade ship or actually penetrate all the way through the atmosphere of Davute VII and strike a populated structure!
