The Black Fleet

[Echo 7-7]

Some issues with your faction's history:

If Olivier defected to the Council, why did he remain in Royalist territory? He should have known it was suicide.

Secondly, it doesn't really make sense for the Council to sell a Battleship. The Council doesn't really have the manufacturing capacity to make capital ships for the purpose of resale; most of their efforts go towards maintaining what ships they already have (many of which are supposed to outdated relative to GRN ships). Therefore, it'd make a lot more sense if your group was either clearly a subdivision of the Council, or the Maquis.

Factions using more than one NPC-faction ID are heavily frowned upon; however, it is not entirely against the rules. Bear in mind that in certain situations, if you have a group of ships with mixed IDs, some ships will not be able to behave the same as others, which will lead to complications. To elaborate, a Maquis ID'd ship can engage civilian targets; a Council ship usuall cannot. Having Council ID'd and Maquis ID'd ships under the same tag does not let you pick and choose how you want to behave; it is strongly recommended that you pick a faction ID as your primary ID and stick to it. Note that any faction applying for Official Status cannot use more than one NPC-faction ID.

^ Faction Creation Rules, particularly for factions applying for Official Status. Not strictly necessary for Unofficial factions, but still a good guideline to use. Note that some of the wording is a little bit outdated.


Edit 2: Bear in mind these are just suggestions. You can still be all-Council ID'd, but still have a very vengeful attitude to the way you fight.
