Microstate RP

[Erremnart]

In my experience, people usually set inappropriate expectations for their "micro states", like settling on overly unhospitable planets, settling up in a heavily contested area, doing it as a resource-strained and/or technology-strained faction, or picking a faction that has nothing like it in its modus operandi.

In lore, a planetary presence requires a large commitment from the involved faction while also becoming far more vulnerable. For example, when we removed the Insurgency, some factions asked me if they could settle the planet Veracruz. They can't because the Gaians/LSF are watching over it, and all they need is a couple of bombers breaking through the defenses of a fledging colony to cripple its infrastructure and render it inhabitable.

EDIT: There's nothing wrong with a microstate, but it's better to roleplay as a faction with an already well-established planetary presence.
