Faction races

[ejoman3002]

Vanilla lore is actually filled with national and racial stereotypes, and Discovery lore and gameplay has intentionally or unintentionally added to that, however, some people tend to overdo that. The real-life stereotypes implemented into FL role kinda spices up the whole thing, but when people decide to make things too close to a historical point of one of those nations, things just go straight downhill.

People seem to forget that these stereotypes are just meant for that - To spice things up, and not to base a whole faction off. Factions directly based off RL background of a nation usually tend to last shorter than others, especially in certain obvious cases which admins have decided to step in and shut it down before it goes too far, and I personally can't blame them, but some people unjustly do.

To add to the original post though, Outcasts in Disco are more or less RPed based on Italian stereotypes while Corsairs are based on Spanish ones, and one would assume that Latin Americans were part of the Liberty sleeper ship, which would justify the legitimate portion of "hispanic" population in Liberty. Furthermore, in the original Starlancer storyline middle east and Egypt were part of the Coalition, so one can assume some of them were within the Coalition saboteur force aboard the Hispania and currently part of the SCRA.

This makes me wonder where the Turks fall into. since there considerd part of europe. Its concievable that they could have potentially had there own sleeper ship (maybe one of the ones destroyed before launch) or they coulda jumped on one of the other ships.

although now that i think about it i guess scra would be the closest example of middle east. all other coalition where killed by nomads. and while id like to see a turkish faction. kinda hard to rp that. unless we can find 1 system or group of systems that most trade vessels pass through.
