Re: Flat Black: Status in the Imperial Service
As Courtesy Status can get you invited to events, without having a Reaction modifier like 'real' Status, I thought it might fit. She has the access, but not necessarily the clout, because Imperials don't appreciate that sort of throwing around of Status.

Re: Flat Black: Status in the Imperial Service
If Imperial Status maps poorly to GURPS status, it seems illogical to try to create a table mapping. Instead, define what Imperial Status means in terms of other GURPS advantages, write it up, and then make a table for that. I'm pretty sure the GURPS House Rule Suppression Commandos have closed the antipodal office due to budget constraints.

Contacts are limited to one town.

Re: Flat Black: Status in the Imperial Service
<sigh> No. They aren't. They're limited to one town or one organization. You can take the FBI as a group contact and have it all over the United States. You can take the UN bureaucracy as a group contact and have it all over the world.

Re: Flat Black: Status in the Imperial Service
It's an either/or thing. Either you have contacts all through a generic social stratum of a particular municipality like "crime", "espionage", or "rich people" OR you have contacts all through a given organization that can be as big as the GM likes. Group Contacts is second only to Zeroed as the most widely misunderstood advantage.
