Room Assignments: Edited in OOC. Ship information moved to "Characters" tab. I will refer to these locations going forward but I'm unwilling to go back through all my posts and edit out the inconsistencies. Syrae: I was going off of the planet's description in my first OOC post [quote=@Irell Starling] [b]Name:[/b] "Syrae", Officially FDRY776 [b]Atmosphere:[/b] Hospitable [b]Climate:[/b] Freezing. Surface is covered in ice all year round. Cities are built on geothermal vents and derive their power from the planet’s superhot core. [b]Native Sentient Beings:[/b] (None) [b]First Colony:[/b] Scientists, 900+ yrs ago [b]Exports:[/b] Ore and high quality gems (found under Syrae’s mountain chains) [b]Overseen by:[/b] (None)[/quote] If the Federation's control works like a sphere, then Syrae is on the edge of that sphere for Federation Stronghold 700. It's why it has it's own laws, why people (such as Ryen's father) can gain asylum there. It's fine if the Federation has an embassy located on the planet, however, the planet itself is not governed by this embassy. It's why Ryen knows about planets and alien species but not a lot about the bureaucratic practices inside the Federation. It's why she's familiar with some technology but not others.
