I've been wondering about how much effort people are planning on putting into the background or identity of their chosen fleet; perhaps based on some of the published material for the different incarnations of the Fading Suns RPG, or perhaps just from their own takes on things.
For example, are any of the would-be Vuldrok admirals looking to tie their force to a particular nation (Drenjar, Lakol, Zetol etc) or planet (Hargard, Wolf's Lament, Frost et al)?
(Indeed, would ships built by for the Ramakrishnas of Vijayanagar on Hargard be the same as "regular" Vuldrok ships, or would their fleet have a different look and fighting stlye altogether?)
Or, say if you were instead basing your force in the Kurga Caliphate. Would you style your force on the beseiged defenders of Hira, a garrison force at Irem, or perhaps a potentially rogue element operating out of Khayyam? (Assuming the latter use standard Kurgan ships and doctrines for their fleets, that is.)
And within the Known Worlds proper, are there any particular sub-forces within the various Noble Houses, or of the various factions of the Church, or any other of the various pillars of the Phoenix Empire you may want to represent?
Or do you plan to set out into some as-yet-unknown Lost World, and claim a brand new world for your very own?
