Re: Character assignments
No, I just thought that Icebird was a weak reference, not plausibly likely to be famous as an exploring vessel in nine hundred years. Beside, I used it in a recent campaign.
Would you prefer INS Fridtjof Nansen? Archangel Beth might be good enough to change the thread title for us. Quote:
I am supposed to be working on a rewrite of the colonies, but this year has got rather interrupted. One of the reasons for starting this campaign now is to hold my nose to the grindstone. So tell me what you want and I'll put it in. Todos Santos, Aeneas, Mayflower, and Tau Ceti are fixed points in the setting that are to some extent immune to change. Todos Santos is the place where it is customary for everyone to use psych tech to short cut self-improvement. Todos Santos is famous for its psychologists and psych techs, and for professionals with heroic adherence to the ethics of their professions. It's also the freakishly polite, neat, orderly, law-abiding, diligent place where everyone has been "reconstructed", the practical utopia based on universal mindwipe.

Re: Known colonies at 532 PDT, part 3
Same one. The re-generation of the universe turned Emmaus from a significant belligerent in the Formation Wars to a backwater. The truth of Emmaus got moved to Egalité, that being easier and more satisfactory to my simulationist compulsions than reaching into the development model or (worse) the astrographic model.
Where is that quote from? I thought I patched them all last night.

Re: [OOC] Starship 'Endeavour'
Is Hell/Tau Ceti still basically the same?

Re: [OOC] Starship 'Fritjof Nansen'
Yes. Tau Ceti, Mayflower, Aeneas, and Todos Santos are constant stars in the firmament.

Re: [OOC] Starship 'Endeavour'
Musing on ages:
So 495 for the founding of the Empire itself and 501 for start of the Imperial schools. Which means that Imperials born and raised ('farmed fur') in 532 can't be any older than mid-thirties. And the first Marine regiments as such were established in 507. So any Marines with more than 25 years in uniform would have started as Foundation troops of some sort. |

Re: [OOC] Starship 'Endeavour'
The hornéd and gory Viking Hat urges me to remind players that I might contract players to play characters that are somewhat different from the concepts they tender: that is, a character tendered for the Dean might be offered a contract in the research pool, or one tendered as XO might get promoted to Captain, etc. I might even ask you to add a feature or cut out a feature from the character you tender. The character tenders are starting points. So don't sweat the details: just get those concepts down in the most essential forms.
Players in Australasia and Africo-Eurasia may begin writing now.
