Sure, but where else would you channel your money to fund resistance cells if not in the FWL?

lol - all I'm saying is that from an existence standpoint, the SIC deserves a chance. We will have tons of new players - who might be interested in playing a small underdog nation.

Core world protection can ensure they never blink out of existence - and it would allow players to shape the game world a little more.

What fun is in being a fcation that can't fight back yet, can't be defeated?

Not fun on either side.

Why can't it fight back? And technically no faction can be defeated. The FRR will survive no matter what - I'm sure you'll hear clan players complain about that when the time comes.

I think everyone is underestimating the player base for the SIC. Just because they have smaller numbers of planets does not require that they have few players. They very well might (hence this poll), but its not a guarantee.

bump for justice.

Needs more bump. Maybe someone can throw up a new thread, and see if we can't get a rough idea of the number of people who would go minor faction? Almost positive the Marian Hegemony, St.Ives Compact and Taurian Concordant would get a decent number of player behind them.

How long do you expect St.Ives to last between a vengeful Capcon and an opportunistic House Davion?

And If you were just puppetized Davion then what is the point?

St Ives is basicly a Davion march with Candace leading her country from New Avalon and Justin being head advisor to Hanse. Also that Kai is, and always will be, Victors best freind, the future prince.

They were however reconquered in 3063 because of the SLDF "peacekeepers" but that is in 14 years.

After Kai regularly dedicates solaris fights to victor and defeats some of his rivals for power in a political battle.

Dont forget who helped him in the Civil war

Going to correct a couple of lore mistakes here:

1.) the SIC was a part of the reborn Star League including participating in the annihilation of Clan Smoke Jaguar (see sarna.net for info on their part in Task Force Serpent and the Great Refusal).

2.) The only reason why they were reabsorbed by the C.C. is due to a little event called the Fed-Com Civil War. Had the F.C. been a united front House Liao would have not even considered attempting to engage the SIC militarily.

3.) By the time the Clan invasion is over the F.R.R. is nothing more than a shell of its former self and becomes for all intents and purposes a ComStar protectorate. The only reason why they are a playable faction is because they are directly in the path of the Clan invasion.

4.) It is the Ghost Bears who join with the F.R.R. to form what is to become the Ghost Bear Dominion after the Great Refusal not the Nova Cats. The Nova Cats join with the Draconis Combine in the reconstituted Pesht Military District.
