Discovery 4.87 Universe Map

[Strobel]

Frankly I'm not a fan of the Oita placement at all. It's been an independent system (for a reason I believe) and in the future it'll be Kusari space? Does IND lose control over the system as well or do we keep our guard system?

If anything, I believe it makes more sense now - it is no longer only accessible through House guard systems, which should suit the headquarters of the Renzu Corporation, a Kusari-based civilian manufacturer. Oita may not be a system that is part of sovereign Kusari territory, but it does not quite classify as an Independent World.

While IND, the player faction, owns the system, it is not mechanically a guard system...

I was about to put quotation marks around guard system but discarded the idea in the end. Yes, it's an owned yet not a guard system as we're lacking even our own reputation on the sheet.

Well, I believe there was a reason to have an independent system not under the influence of any house. Also the location was - at least rp-wise - perfect to keep those people out who like to stick their noses into things not for them. I'm not quite sure now but even the info card of Wall Street Station should mention that safety was the biggest motion to get our feet into Oita.
Guess we'll just have to see what's coming up for us then.
