I think you've slightly missed the point here....
Icarus is one ship. It has a crew of somewhere between two and twelve people, and operates independently. There is no Icarus battle fleet, no army, and nobody to lead to glory. Also, there is currently nothing to lead them to glory with. Furthermore, humanity is in a relatively peaceful age at the moment, there have been no major wars in hundreds of years, and never one that has been conducted on an interplanetary scale.
I would suggest a complete re-evaluation once I've put up a couple of other posts explaining quite what the story is here.

I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.
