RC 212
HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPO!
The Free Colonies!
I've already started the ball rolling on this. I'm looking for something unique, something that draws in folks. Not an Empire or an Order, but closer to a Confedracy, much like the old Lords of the Fringe. The premise? The Free Colonies.
The basis of the Colonies would be built upon freedom to do what you wish. A faction with a robust array of opportunities, that expand beyond your normal pallet.
The Free Colonies would run much like Nassau back in the olden days. A Confedration/ Republic of Free people settling and expanding their territory. Here's a quick breakdown
The Government:
The Government would be IC elected and run the majority of the day to day affairs of the Colonies. The Colonial Congress, made of the President (Elected on a three months cycle), The Ministers council, and the Planetary Governors.
Pres
Minister of Finance
Minister of War
Minister of Diplomacy
Minister of Science
Governors.
It lends itself to political RP, opening up struggled between worlds, trade wars, and a ton of stuff for political types to do. The introduction of the Government will be unique, as they will take most of the Faction in whatever direction they choose IC. FA's will not have a choke-hold on how they want the faction to run, but will merely facilitate and help the newer members.
The Military
In a unique fashion there will be plenty of action for NFU's. Smugglers. Pirates, Mercs, Freelancers and Professionals alike. The Colonial worlds will each have their own Militia, and will be Augmented by a Standing Federal army of Units. (Hoping Clan Raxis will have an element in there.) This gives people a wide array of sandbox action to do their thing.
The Story
The story would start out as a simple Colonial Congress coming together and expanding their worlds. Make a government, collect worlds, raise Milita, smuggle, Pirate, Go on the Offensive, Develop worlds and ships, Have interplanetary strife, all these things can add to the rich story.
I'll also be bringing back Vassara's Expeditionary Fleet, dedicated to Exploration and Salvage for the Colonies.
The FU's?
I'm hoping to merge them into the fabric of society. We have enough Major Force orders. I'm willing to accept all alignments, as this is a sandbox faction. If the members wanna make one that's fine, but whoever comes can hail from any tradition and hold any position they want in the Colonies.
Location?
Hoping to start in the old Primevil sector or on the west side of the Map.
Any Questions or Comments? Any interested?
Note: Aiming to make it so this Faction lends itself to everybody.
