A lot of people underestimated the Red Collective.
The Red Association had mech pilots, Carmine mech pilots and mech designers on its side, each of whom had a chance to become exceptionally powerful or versatile True Gods.
The Red Fleet did not currently feature prominent cultivators, but if they did manage to develop and embrace a few cultivation methods, they would probably focus all of their resources on raising better officers, spacers and naval engineers.
While all of that sounded great, the greatest disadvantage of the RA and the RF was that they were almost completely oriented towards military development and military industrial development.
Neither the RA or the RF put too much emphasis on civilian industries. While its members started up a lot of businesses that encompassed many different sectors, they always existed to support their main activities, which was to support the development of mechs or warships.
