Pritty shur its lore that in order for the 5 main sleeper ships to escape. they gave the location away for 2-3 other sleeper ships so the coalition would spend there time on those ones so the base with the 5 sleeper ships could get away. 1 of those sleeper ships is now gallia. which got away anyways. so theres 1 or 2 more sleeper ships that where never named.

Edit: nvm. the other 2 where australia and italia. italia went with the hispania and the ausies went with the bretonia

It should also be noted that House Kusari is made up of more than just the descendants of "Japanese" people, however that's the dominant culture and system within House Kusari.

Similarly, Liberty is made up of more than just "Americans" (I'd say it's fair to wager that there were people from all over North and South America, aboard sleepership Liberty.)

Bretonia of course, as has been established, contains the ancestors of both Irish and Australian people, in addition to the English.

And Rheinland is likely more than just "Germans", I'd wager that the Rheinland sleeper ship had people from all of the German-speaking countries aboard it, and probably some Scandinavians as well.

Gallia is pretty straightforward, although I'd wager that the Gallia sleeper ship also had passengers hailing from territories that used to be "French" colonies, as well as proper Frenchmen.

As for the Hispania...it's already been established that it was not just "Spanish" speaking people aboard that ship. The Hispania's passengers came primarily from Spain, and spanish speaking nations...but there were also people aboard from nations all over the Mediterranean, hence why Corsair architecture and society tends to seem a bit Greek, and why the Outcasts have a lot of Italian themes within their society and organizations.

Also, with each House and settled territory in Sirius, you also have to account for immigrant populations, as I'm sure there are some quite large ones in some sectors of Sirius, I mean come on, It's been EIGHT HUNDRED YEARS (since the Houses were established)

But that's just my two cents, based on memory and what I've encountered in my five-ish years on Disco. *makes old people noises*

Don't mind me.

I thought 5 got away and 2 were destroyed.

Isn't Gallia a product of Disco lore entirely?

If not, then, apparently there were 8. My bad.

I think Bretonia was representing Britain or the UK, not just England. As a proud Scot I get very annoyed when "Britain" and "England" are used interchangeably. They are not the same. As LolRawr!? said there are others to, apparently Irish (if from Nothern Ireland then UK is appropriate) and also Australian. Either way I'm getting worked up over something petty and minor yet I still hate seeing "England" there.

I think its logical ti assume Rheinland had some Turkish people onboard considering the rather large turkiah populqtion in Germany, Austria etc... Also don't forget the Swiss, they came and formed Zoners :-P

So, Canada went with Liberty not Bretonia right? And did Liberty also take South America? Im also wondering what happened to Africa, were they part of the coalition? ALL the different african countries? How about India?

As for faction races:
Nomads: Aliens
Wilde: Infested humans/hybrids
AI: AI
Rest: The human race. There is only one. And it doesn't include furries. Nor ponies.

the outcasts could however somewhat consider themselves a different race, but there's no real counterpart to those on earth.

As for RL-nationalities:
Rheinland most likely includes Austria as well, possibly Switzerland (assuming the war forced them to pick a side). I'm mostly curious where the Benelux belong to. I'd imagine Belgium went with Gallia but the others could as well have boarded the Rheinland or even Bretonia.

In case of the Hispania I wouldn't stretch it too far. It's generally considered a Mediterranean sleeper ship. Adding South America and the Arabs too is a bit much for me considering they already had to combine two ships there.
I'd also assume both the aforementioned groups would rather be on the Coalition side.

Hold up, I think you are confusing "Species" with "Race" when you say "you're being racist" you are referring to different races within the human species, so there is more than one human race. Black people, white people, and asian people being the most obvious, though there are others, and mixes, ect.

The turkish people onboard the Rheinland would be a huge minority I'd assume. Turkey itself (as like the whole region) was part of the Coalition. I wouldn't mention them really.

Also, onboard the Rheinland you have Scandinavian countries (hence the Hessian ship names like "Odin" and "Thor"), Netherlands, Germany, Austria, and perhaps Switzerland if they were forced to pick a side.

On the Bretonia you would have: UK, Ireland, some Australians and generally other British colonies.

Liberty: US, Canada (for certain), Mexico and some other Latin America countries.

Kusari: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, possibly Vietnam (though they might have joined the Coalition)

Gallia: FRENCHMEN ZOOMBA
