Attican Traverse: Though the Citadel officially claims the region as its own, the forces of the Terminus Systems have claimed many of the planets and systems to be under their control. Unwilling to engage in an all-out war against the Terminus Systems, the Citadel has adopted a military non-interference policy in the region.


It is pretty much Terminus Space. Pylos specifically is rubbing shoulders with the likes of Omega and The Far Rim.

We will see if the Citadel races continue that non-interference policy.

Then again, Ereba never mentioned a Terminus Alliance. Simply an Alliance. Don't let the lines on the base map fool you, they are meant to make categorizing the ingame universe easier.

No, Drell Conclave is not a Terminus Systems faction. They are a Attican Traverse faction, they are just near the border and the Pylos Nebula connects to the Terminus Systems. If I wanted the Conclave to be in the Terminus Systems then I would not have picked Pylos.

I don't think you are understanding what I'm saying. From an OOC point: the map has it in yellow therefore it is in the "attican traverse"

However, in character, it is practically the Terminus. There are wild vorcha raging across its surface. Ereba, the ruler of Illium, would view the Pylos Nebula as a Terminus region.

This would be similar to Illium, which is labeled as being in the Terminus. IC, it is very much connected to what happens with the Asari Republics, as it is one of the Republic's primary colony worlds. Another example is Noveria, deep in "Citadel Space" but is not actually part of the Citadel Council's domain.

The Vorcha are there because Namakil was a Asari colony that used educated Vorcha workers and the Vorcha breed faster then could be educated. They turned violent and if it were not for the Asari colonists bringing them there. There would be no Vorcha in the first place. IC-wise, the Conclave do not see themselves in the Terminus despite how close there are.

I might be withdrawing from the rp. I've been trying to get a post up for the past several days and nothings been written so far. Not sure if its a lack of drive or whatever, but I don't want to hold back the rp.

That awkward moment when you are going through everything and you realize.. Barren worlds are 25 natural income.. barren moons were the 10. Good thing I caught it before too many things went wrong..

If the Asari decide to all go AWOL, the glorious Rachni Species is ready to step in and take the Asari Council seat :)

Hey, one Rachni on the Council means you have /all/ the Rachni on the council - it's perfect! You can only get one person for a third of the Asari anyway, and that can be resolved by just annexing them all.

This does bring up the question of how sentient the average Racing is.

The nerf isn't that bad, together they are equal to the largest faction which is fair.

I've been assuming that they pretty much aren't, except for the Queens. Next month I'll start building a research lab to try and change that - not dumping my whole weakness in the short-term, but at least making it possible for us to train elites and spec-ops who are like Queens, in that they're sentient and connected to the hivemind.

Maybe the Salarians can get us a virus to disrupt the Rachni Hivemind unless a Queen is explicitly present nearby.

Or could just send the Krogan again? I mean if anything the Krogan can vie for a Council to get rid of the Rachni or keep them in check.

Just to ask, why?

But if she is just a banana republic dictator, it makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, its hard to find those.
Lesuss is only a near-garden world by Asari so that's a bummer. And Illuim wouldn't let a Cerberus remnant wouldn't let me set up a bank.
