House territories

[Dusty Lens]

I'm with Xoria, but from a slightly different perspective. Rather than frivolous ooc powergaming I see it as IC frivolous powergaming. Such as the Queen of Bretonia declaring the Taus to be the territories of Bretonia.

We can observe how well that worked out.

Nations are quick to declare any and all turf that they can secure "theirs" regardless of their ability to back it up. Bretonia, for instance, might be quick to declare that Orkney is their territory for political purposes but would be unable to meet a claim to the contrary and would furthermore be very hard pressed to establish infrastructure due to the large hostile presence there.

I think it's an amusing theme that fits in well with the imperialistic dogma maintained by most houses.

Anyways this is all academic, as the Xenos have already claimed that system for themselves.
