So how far into the future are we? Has humanity gone beyond Sol? Earth still around?(I ask because a friend is interested in playing as Earth in such a setting)Also. here's my idea for my faction, tell me what you think, will it be ok with you? Do I need to make some changes? Etc.My faction is a Sentient Planet. Both leader and Homeworld of a race of Space Bugs that function as weapons of it's will. After wiping out it's previous native population in a long war. The planet has grown slowly insane over time. Now it feels that it must now cleanse the galaxy of civilization and technology.

Earth exists if somebody writes for it. It exists when it is written for.

As for your faction idea: Change it up a little, you've already used the Vazri recently. I was sorely tempted to recycle the EOA again, but I'm making something new from scratch.
