Caliban's War Essay Questions

Essay Questions

  1. 1

    What is causing the conflict between Earth, Venus, and the outer planets?

    The need to have overall control of the globe is causing the conflict between Earth, Venus and other outer planets. The aliens have set up their power structure on Venus to monitor everything on earth. On the other hand, the UN on earth is devising a strategy to destroy the alien power structure. The outer planets alliance (OPA) is willing to work with the UN against the aliens. However, the war against each of the mentioned forces will only yield a short-term solution. Even if the UN succeeds in destroying the power structure in Venus, the aliens will still develop a more sophisticated governance structure because they are ahead in technological advancement.

    Why is the United Nations worried about the situation in Ganymede?

    A major conflict exists between the UN authority and the peacekeepers in Ganymede. For instance, the peacekeepers are doing the contrary because they cannot account for the mysterious disappearance of women and children. The UN has done everything to ensure the safety of the citizens in Ganymede, but there is a threat from the Martian army, which makes the UN more worried. In addition, the aliens are ahead of time because they have set a power structure that manipulates the earth. Therefore, the UN should dismantle the aliens and the Martian army before the situation worsens.

    What is the role of the Rocinante crew in Ganymede in outer space?

    The only way to dismantle the alien power structure is by employing a scientific approach. Aliens are ahead of time because their power structure is full of technical components. However, the UN trusts its Rocinante crew, which consists of top-notch scientists. Therefore, the Rocinante crew's main role is to study the alien power structure and devise a strategy for dismantling it. However, the task of the Rocinante crew is not a walk in the park. The Martian army safeguards the alien power structure to ensure no intrusion from unauthorized access. Despite the looming resistance from the Martian army, the Rocinante crew is ready to accomplish its mission.
