[@DeadDrop] I would invite you to read the background and additional information first, this isn't exactly Starship Troopers, rather it is something inspired by Starship Troopers & the HALO franchise so some of the information you have is somewhat inaccurate to the current setting. While it is a functional sheet, it isn't in theme with the current RP now and I would like to request, with all due respects, that you change to relate more to the information that is presented in the first OOC post before I approve your character. [edit] Basically what I'm saying is, the Republic owns Terra (Earth) so the Federation can't be the "Terran Federation" and looking at the context of the situation of the Federation, it has only formed quite recently. You are correct about one point in your background where boots needed to be filled quickly but that now juxtaposes grueling training, you can't have grueling training if you're in desperate need of recruits quickly - your troops come out with minimal training and just hopes they gain enough experience through their first battle that they could come out fine in the next. The Federation would also be quite poor because the majority of the worlds would be new colonies that have started open revolt recently, other affluent planets are present but they are the minority, of the twenty only five are fully established and that is where most of the Federation's industry was during the civil war. The Federation's current size is about 43 worlds, with a number of them being quite developed but have been damaged substantially by the war. Of the 43 worlds, 20 have enough infrastructure to be industrialized enough to support the current war against our alien foe. Just clearing most of that confusion for the rest because it was my fault I wasn't clear. This basically is a juxtaposition of the Republic which was well developed and well funded from the start and suffered minimal losses during the entire duration of the civil war. Again I am quite sorry for the confusion I may have caused for being unclear the first time. I'll add this information in the OOC later on.
