what exactly was St. Ives?
i understand that it is a planet, but how people tend to use the name i think there is a deeper meaning to it, that i do not understand yet.
and sarna.net didn't help much :/
St.Ives Compact is a nation that seceded the Capellan Confederation during the last Succession War in 3029.
You know how both Liao and Davion are and they are kind of a buffer between them. They have equipment of both sides, they are generally peaceful and are basically what happens when Davions and Capellans start working together.
This little kingdom of their's is ran by Candace Liao, who is the sane offspring of Max Liao and took the nation with her, as it was her Davion husband, who started the war and she knew it was a lost cause. Basically, a sane opposite of our current Chancellor Romano Liao, who she will kill later with the help of Capellans themselves. She will let Sun Tzu live and he will become the first sane Chancellor in quite soem time, ultimately taking St.Ives territory back in 3063, while still letting Candace to rule the realm, since he only wants to reunite the Capellans and wants to do it with as few losses of lives as possible, which is achieved by a peace treaty.
Right now, it is basically the Capellan Confederation, but without the crazy leader.
