Was there anything else Calvert could have done in Chapter 1 when confronted by the Sungu Barat?

No, he didn’t stand a snowball’s chance in the hot place of shaking off what we all knew to be the Oregon… 😉.

Not a hope whatever he did once they went up against the Oregon. Playing in a different league.

The options were to either run or fight. There were only two ships within 500 kilometers. A gun battle wouldn’t be noticed.

He had no other choice. It sounded like he was more afraid of his bosses than whatever would happen with the Oregon. P!us, it looked like a hunk of junk that easily could be sunk with no consequences.

I agree that he didn't stand a chance. The Oregan is a "persona" all its own.
