Are these Reasons rules?

Odd. I had been thinking along exactly those lines. I hoped to
create a combined campaign system based in either the 2300AD or
Renegade Legion Universes.

I recommend that anyone interesed in this shoudl have a look at the
resources for 2300AD on the web. I've always suspected that FT was
based on the 2300AD universe to some extent. The Kra'vak are
suspiciously like the Kafers. Well apart from their Psychology.
Another idea for separatist groups in 2300 are terrorist groups.
Some of them are a very nasty lot indeeed.
