More musings on my RPG setting.

This is really starting to come together nicely.

I gave in and got the PDF version of the Astrogator's Handbook. So now I have information on over 3,500 stars in the local region, out to about 150 light years. This should be more than enough for anyone, and allows me to have a reasonably large empire (say 80-100 fully developed worlds with seats in the Senate plus another 200-300 colonies and outposts) and still have room for aliens, unexplored areas, and Deep Mysteries.

Since "(fill in the blank) Empire" has been done to death. and we don't need to call it an empire even if it is one, I've been toying with new names. One I'm really liking is the Terran Concord or Concordance. I'm rewriting my back story to get rid of the original genocidal aliens (another bit that's way overdone) and making it civil strife between an increasing autocratic and hungry Earth and the colonies that led to war, collapse, and finally a new government that gave a voice to all the settled worlds.

Here are some of the updated details. As always, feedback and suggestions are most welcome.

( The Government )

( The Military )

( Technology )

( Symbolism )

This is really working out nicely in my head. Additions and suggestions welcome!
