FRR and DC relationship odd? Naaaa. It's kinda like USA and UK. Pretty good allies now, but that wasn't always the case.


Took a while though, remember, aside from 1812 (and thank god for Napoleon distracting the Brits or that would have been a mess), they backed the Confederacy with arms in the Civil War.

Often forgotten, actually. 1812 is hilarious (loss of life excepted, obviously) and the final settlement amounted to "Everyone back to the start line, now pretend nothing happened (well, except for that fire thing with the white place, whatever it was called...)." :-)

They did stop pressing our sailors though, so that was a positive.

That was just the excuse, really and in many cases the so-called "US sailors" were exactly what the British claimed; British subjects who lied about their names and claimed US citizenship (but didn't have it) in order to avoid British jurisdiction, often for crimes they were likely to hang over. USA was looking for an excuse to flex its 'muscle' and the public was clamouring for action because it made the USA look impotent.

Everyone should already know that Comstar is tweeking all the Great House's strings. The only Lord that knows it and not afraid to do something is First Prince Hanns Davion.
