So...my guess is they lost their military liason who used to tell them what was what.

Oh well, still a great show.

Yeah, that was always my take on it, a tiny amount of 12 planets worth of population survives, and the best military expertises left is one captain and one colonel. Heck, their president is the former Secretary of Education. Could they lay it on any thicker in what poor shape their civilization is?

There was once a suggestion for SE4, that as you lost too many battles and planets, you would begin to lose technology, yes even the colonization tech you started with, to model the collapse of your society under the onslaught of constant warfare.
