[@Inkarnate] Question: Since we're obviously soldiers, will we be of the same regiment or whatever? Should probably ask if we're all on the same side, too.

I figure that it would be more narratively consistent to do it within the same faction, yes. Not sure about regiment, but I haven’t considered logistics of that in lieu of focusing on the sandboxy narrative and general tone of the setting.
