[quote=@Shorticus] If someone's already doing it (sorry, I didn't notice), I'll refrain. I can easily make something else. I'd very much like to play something that's not a true nation, however. A fleet works well for that.

I'll chew on some ideas. [/quote] [quote=@Lauder] [@Shorticus] BUT CAN I ENSLAVE THOSE IDEAS?! [/quote] Lauder's obsession with enslaving gives ME an idea! Perhaps Shorticus's people were once slaves of the X'Cor (Lauder's race), but they stole a small fleet of ships from their slavemasters and escaped. Now they roam the galaxy, constantly pursued by X'Cor Slavers, attempting to find a home...
