The first novel includes the lead up to finding the MA and the GA attacking Darius. The second novel includes the MA attacking the MBS, as they sent the GA packing on its first attack of their home system. The third novel features a rematch in Darius space.
My money is the Renaissance Faction muddies the waters, and forces a Solarian divide.
Before Flint died, Maya's succession would have been a serious part of the plot, not so sure now...
You got a point about the RF. If they're going to make an appearance they should be brought into play fairly quickly.
But they have to be careful not to get into a shooting match with the SL. That might have a negative reaction which results in the SL and the GA becoming allies.
Would the author spend a book mostly on the SL and its troubles with this new opponent that has coalesced from the Block of Splintered States? BOSS.
That would be a book with a completely different POV and feel. I know that isn't what you are suggesting. But the thought amuses me.
