Pretty much, I figure they'll sit there twiddling their thumbs, until Detweiler sends someone off to attack Torch.

And eventually, someone back home will notice that while Maya Sector is valiant in defending Torch against the evils of Mesan front organisations, super about beating up pirates, and very consistent in submitting their reports about there being no real problems in the region, they're pointedly ignoring the buildup of the new massive combined Haven/Manticore fleet base at Erehwon. Well, as far as they can 'ignore' it while continuing to contribute massive amounts of money to help Erewhon build its own units.

Of course, Detweiler may actually set up yet another attack on Torch simply to start the division of the Solarian League. Especially if the Mayans end up 'accidentally' allying up with Haven and Manticore to defend Torch. Again. Whilst they are officially at war with each other.

(Don't mind me. Just finishing a massive series reread, one of the products of which is "Gee, Roszak mostly spends his time going "Look the other way, Solarian League! Don't mind me, I'm protecting Torch! For [Big Fancy Reason, that really boils down to 'Thandi and Cachat will come after us if we don't']!"")
