About the backstory of French arriving to Sirius - I thought that this matter may remain a mystery for some time, but if it concerns you so much, I may explain.
Rumors on Malta say that there were 8 sleeper ships. What are the rest 3 ships we don't know. I actually did get the idea of Italia, France and Australia from Klaw's timeline post, so I can't confirm it in any way. Actually, it doesn't matter much what were the other two nations. But I'm sure about France. They had their own spacefleet, and they were one of the leading European nations, along with Germany and England both of which had their own sleeper ships. It's logical that France had their own ship.
Why don't we see 8 sleeper ships in the intro? Because they were launched from another location. Or maybe they just attempted to launch. I'd prefer to leave this part a mystery. Point is that French sleeper ship was among those three, but, unlike other two, it was empty, just a bulk. They knew what is going to happen, and initially planned to construct the 9th one.
It was struggle for their only hope. Leaving the Sol. Stakes were just too high.
I like what you've done with it, Igiss. It fits with canon even if there were only 5 sleeper ships (France got mad they didn't get a ship and built their own) <strike>and lets us kill Frenchies.</strike>
My only concern is that it will add to "Bretonia/Kusari" syndrome.
Well guys, I'm not even going to get into this thread. I like a few french concepts, things, people, etc, but my general day-to-day working with francophones experience isn't that awsome, so if this faction comes out, I'll be joining it in order to be very derrogatory from the inside. Not to be malicious, mind, just to translate my first-hand experience to the rest of you poor souls. I might yell about a few other things if this faction does come into creation, but you all know what those are, and I don't need to mention them anymore.

I'll do it too, although don't expect me to actually police anything, I have some tricks up my sleeve for all those 'honest' traders stealing the resources of la belle france!
