Some of which result in something that would definitely be done ICly, but would have serious OOC consequences. I have to ask - have you read our leader's factbook? Because this doesn't go the way you probably think it does. The Fallen Angels is essentially built around a giant self-destruct button, one that was intentionally installed within it, to its very basic level, and was there from the very beginning. If this sounds weird, I suggest rereading our leader's factbook. It might make a little more sense then.
So, if for whatever reason, we are about to lose horribly, the most IC thing that we would do is that Honest John would press that metaphorical button (or more likely have 106 press it for him, he doesn't like to personally get his hands dirty if he can help it) and our entire population, except for those who are actually working for the Tophel Clan (so Honest John, 106, and all our demon allies) would all drop dead instantly. Then those still left would flee the scene (and by that, I mean flee this plane of existence; 106 might go somewhere else, or she might follow Honest John).
Hmmm. Guess that thought zipped right over my head until now. While what you say is true (the RP is partly YOUR story, after all, and your canon background most defiantly is), I have the slightest feeling that you will quickly learn the truth about Drecha, who, might get a rear-whooping, might leave YN with some quite valuable tech (which, to be fair, might raise other IC problems) and a chance at defending against other future invasions. But again, your story. Can't wait to see how this all turns out overall. And now that I think about this, the scenario with a positive outcome also applies to other Pre-FFT nations in this RP. Hint hint. But again, your story, my scenarios. If this all makes sense. If not, I'll message those who message me saying they don't understand, and I will attempt to clarify.
Oh, I wasn't saying that I OOCly would want to have that metaphorical self-destruct button pressed. I was merely point out that it's ICly an option on our table, and that it would be very in character to be used the moment things look very grim. (ICly, we are greedy assholes after all, and ICly we're a puppet to even bigger assholes - we exist as a pyramid scheme for them, and they serve to profit off of our death. Having us all up and die serves to protect that profit margin.) Would also be a really troll move - Drecha gets lots of boots on the ground, faces our harsh nuclear winters and deadly creatures, only to have our entire population spontaneously drop dead and the perpetrators escape into another plane, thus leaving Drecha with basically nothing. Of course, we warned Drecha, we have nothing of value for them to take.

Summary of IC Events:So, yeah. Note that this is all IC events in a nutshell. Very vague.
- Drecha and The Hoarde of One allied
- Val Z broadcast message to everyone
- Mirum fired a nuke at an attacking Starcruser, disabling it, and they got invaded by Drecha (but not completely)
- Drecha got angry at The Arkiv for 'attempting to seize control of the hivemind' and The Arkiv got a Starcruiser
- Drecha starts to invade everyone else (active people only, so far)
Our message was also broadcast to everyone, because we ICly did not know where to broadcast our message to that Valentine Z would receive it. Thus, anyone with a radio turned to the right station can receive it.
