Well there is always a light sail 10 000 km in diamter set up between
the earth and sun just far enough to be able to protect it from launch
craft. 2 weeks of darkness will break the photosynthetic chain killing
50-75% of the plant life. The ripple effect should allow 2-3 billion
people to starve. The colony doesn't even have to win the war at that
point. The causuality rate will be so high on earth that the colony
will be the only technological super-power left.
Are you starting to ask the question when these scenerios were dreamed
up?
