[quote][b]Question 13 Explained[/b]
The short answer is [i]no[/i]. All players are allowed to participate in an "Open" topic so long as they have been approved by the Expanding Horizons Staff. "Closed" topics are the [i]only[/i] circumstance where the thread's owner, its Game Master in effect, or the Staff where characters can be declined for any reason decided by those persons. The only exception one can foresee is where the Staff intervene and overrule the topic owner or its Game Master if need be.

[b]Question 30:[/b] [i]How powerful is the United Federation of Planets in Expanding Horizons?[/i]
[b]Answer:[/b] The United Federation of Planets is the largest superpower in the galaxy. Within its territory it has the capability to readily monitor the inhabited worlds under its control and loses that strength only in part the further out one goes to its limits. Its military power is exceptional and capable of efficient and destructive galactic warfare. Because it is a non-player faction operated by the Staff and generally keeps to peacekeeping operations in its space, it is not prone to offensive warring, but has a history of retaliating with overwhelming response.
