Just trying to get back to everyone...work out a NS and a post. Bare with me, I can't log on everyday. [@Isotope]I'll add the FTL fluff asap. Thanks so much! [quote=@Drunken Conquistador] Yeah, a map would be good. Does anyone have a good base from which we could start working on? As for the nobility, I figured it would be a mixed situation. With certain sectors under direct Imperial/Bureaucratic control, some others are in the hands of the Imperial Authority and others (like Virezhir) having this neo-feudal arrangement you're talking about. [/quote] This exactly. We can figure out the details as we go. As for cartography, I propose we use [@gorgenmast]s idea about tracts of Imperial territory. With the center being the core worlds of the Empire (1st tract, orbit, ring w/e) etc. [quote=@GreivousKhan] I think people are confusing The Church of Ankh-Sah with the Followers of the Void, I interpreted them as two different factions. Not sure the followers of the void are in fact so much religious as they are simply experts on the void, closer to scientist really. I could be wrong of course. Also if anyone looks into the void section it does state some of the powers Vacare have though not in much detail. [/quote] I've left both of these factions intentionally vague. The [i]vacare [/i] are jedi without any of the trappings of light/dark. They are simply powerful. [quote=@Sigma] [@Polybius] Damn! I can't resist! Consider me interested. Would it be possible for me to play as one of mentioned alien hordes? [/quote] I think we should focus on the internal conflict of the factions and forces within the empire. It's less Warhammer 40k and more Romance of the 3 Kingdoms.
