Re: OK OK I Give! (Was Powers))

(Warning - role playing on:) "So, after [509 years (plus the GZG story
line) additional years]  of oppression, we are to get a true homeland
but
be allowed only non-FTL "Home Defense" ships?  No Department of Defense
ever won a war.  The NPC needs FTL ships to preemptively strike threats
before they threaten our 'defenseless ones' in our homes!'  

Statement attributed to one NPC negotiator during the planning of the
NPC
colony...

BTW, I am in a training class tomorrow (was today) and have a function
at
church tonight but I will try and get the history of the NPC on the list
this week.  Two points:

1)Initially these were nations sketched out for a Starguard campaign -
hence there is some cleaning up of time line anomalies and other points.

2)I am very much DS2 oriented.	I expect the FT groups I will run in one
off games will be non-Canon GZG Aliens (Nektons, Whistlers, Mertuns, and
Klackons) and NSL or ESU Canon space forces.  Hence the FT/DS2 interface
will be a while.
