Community Tutorial: Why would you want to fly a ---------- ID?

-I would strongly suggest you to read the backstory behind the [url=http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=19672]Colonial[/url] [url=http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=93386]Republic[/url] as well as the [url=http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=8584&pid=840567#pid840567]Colonial laws[/url] to really understand what this is about.-

If you play a Colonial, you play someone who has lost everything and that not only once. The Colonial Republic has always tried to become something you could describe as a mini-house. Which means that you can play every role you want with this ID. You can play a soldier, a police officer (even though this would still belong to the military), a trader, a scientist or researcher and even an explorer (there have been various exploration missions to systems nearby (Kansas) and systems on the outskirts of space (Omicron Lost). Colonials are generally proud of their nation, which has emerged from the ashes so many times. So you might want to integrate this into your RP.

Colonial diplomacy has always been following the principle of ‘what suits the situation, suits us’, but there are a few pretty constant things going on: The Colonials are at war with quite a few factions, the most serious enemies are the Gallics, for following a despotic tyrant and conquering Sirius for the sole reason of revenge (The Colonials still value a lot of the current UNs views, due to their history, so warmongering for low reasons isn’t really a cool thing for them), and for driving them away from their home, Tau 44. Another archenemy are the Outcasts, which have tried to get the Colonials out of the Taus, as they were a problem for the Cardamine trade (Colonials don’t really like that Cardamine addicition means dependency on the Outcasts) and used to free slaves whenever they could (Slavery is bad), this war resulted in quite a lot of awesome battles in the past, so make sure to give them a taste of hell. Another enemy is Kusari, this war started back when Kusari and Bretonia fought in the Taus and the former Emperor kept provoking the Republic and it has not been resolved until now. The Colonials (as most other humans) also dislike everything alien, which includes the Nomads, Wilds and the AIs. Even though they are on friendly terms now, due to their history Colonials also should have some distrust towards Bretonia.
The Colonials have friendly relations with the IMG, the Council, the GMG, local Zoner groups and even with the SCRA to some degree, so you shouldn’t lack friends if you need them.

Colonials have a rather large ZOI, which should give plenty of opportunity to stop smugglers, to fight their enemies or to simply fly around and trade. Cooperation with the IMG has always been pretty strong so there should be some opportunities for escort jobs as well.
However, if you play a Colonial, do yourself and the IMG a favor and don’t dock at Java, really, just don’t do it, the GRN used to make a giant issue out of this.
