My character is definitely not a Maoist. He's been influenced but I would say he's more of a pragmatist than an idealist like Mao.

Fair enough.

How big can I make my space yacht?

Well the largest Imperial military vessels are 1 km long. I forgot the smallest was so you can base it off of that

So I could make my custom-built Space Yacht with some weapons just in case, 1 km long or nah?

Dont think that would be a yacht anymore lol. Honestly all this talk about big ships and big guns is pointless when the RP is more about intrigues and the conflicts that come up between characters instead of factions.

That would be incredibly big for no apparent reason. Frightfully expensive, hard to manouvre, and it can probably only dock at a handful of military facilities. Like Jeff Bezos having a yacht the size of a Ronald Reagan class super carrier.

I would go with smaller ships just for the ease of use.

I said SOME weapons, to make pirates not attack it, I was not going to make it a fucking battleship. But the other person has a point and I will make it smaller.

Well I for one look forward to the intrigue. Personally being a member state of the Empire has brought Lacaille 9352 incredible wealth, I'd rather not squander that if I dont have to. If we must fight for our independence then so be it, but societal collapse tends to mean the minerals, precious metals, starships and food we export aren't going to be as big of a money maker as they currently are anymore.

Name: Rosalina Kesitai of House Aisin-Gioro-Anjou-Chiaramonte
Age: 24
Place of Birth: Kuaixiang Island, Ligeia Mare, Titan
Appearance:
Occupation Wife to Maximilian Ignus V

---

Base of Power: Titan is the jewel of the Saturnian System, and home to her huge family, which bears numerous cadet branches, of which hers is currently the most influential due to her parents being the eldest of their respective generations. Through the tourism that comes from the moon system which they largely control economically, her family bears respectable wealth, though the nature of their most lucrative enterprises has fostered an unspoken family tradition of avoiding overt involvement in political matters, especially on more controversial matters. Backroom dealings and private discussions are a different matter, but publicly, everyone is expected to smile, nod, and be gentle when it comes to their beliefs, lest some group be offended and find somewhere else to vacation.
Goals: Blessed with a pretty face, attractive body, and enough wits and energy to do more than be an heir’s trophy, a slightly younger Rosalina charmed her current husband into marrying her five years ago, on the first of January. Although she doesn’t mind her husband’s personality, it can’t be said that she married him for it. And while she will admit that sharing a bed with him isn’t such a terrible thing, her personal reasons for marrying him are quite simple. Though she maintains the persona of a trophy wife, much like those she’s related to, behind closed doors she is anything but. Those who know the modern court well understand that the best way to ensure Maximilian V truly hears one is to go through Rosalina.

Name:Jack Tobias
Age:112
Place of Birth:Somewhere moon in Alpha Centuari (will figure out which moon later._
Appearance:Jack Tobias is an old man, with a height of 6'4, and a 'noble' look on his face. He wears a grey-hair whig after he went bald, he has green eyes, and has two military uniforms, one of which the 'standard' military officer uniform with rank Insignia on it, and his other military uniform covered in medals which he uses to go to formal meetings.
OccupationGrand Marshal (His personal title for CEO.) of The Alpha Centauri Military Corporation for Peace and Prosperity, or simply the A.C.M.C.P.P

Base of Power:The Alpha Centauri Military Corporation for Peace and Prosperity
The Alpha Centauri Military Corporation for Peace and Prosperity or A.C.M.C.P.P was founded by Jack Tobias, a former imperial military general who sought to form a new corporation to make better and new weapons for the military, and it turned out that the military needed a LOT of weapons, guns, tanks, space-ships, ammo for guns, etc, also he 'expanded' his services to make M.R.Es for the military and to sell weapons to wealthy nobles.

IMPORTANT STUFF WITHIN A.C.M.C.P.P:
A.C.M.C.P.P Security forces: A.C.M.C.P.P Security forces also known as A.C.M.C.P.P.S.F are changed with protecting assets of A.C.M.C.P.P, they are split into 'ground' and 'fleet' parts. the 'Ground' part is where most Security Forces are, tasked with protecting the factories on the ground, they are usually some of the most heavier equipment is. The 'Fleet' Part of A.C.M.C.P.P.S.F was tasked with the protection of the shipyards and 'important space ship assets.'

Union of Prosperity: The Union of Prosperity or U.P was founded by Jack Tobias after a certain strike had ended with 20 dead, and it is OFFICIALLY supposed to make sure that the average worker's voice is heard. Unofficially its goal from day one was to make sure that the workers don't go on strike again. It is a weak and ineffective organization with the only reason it even exists is to make sure that the illusion of the worker's voice does not disappear.

A.C.M.C.P.P Civilian Division: The Civilian Division exists solely to sell weapons to local noble militaries/paramilitaries instead of actually selling weapons to average civilians.
Goals: Primary goals: Keep the A.C.M.C.P.P Alive and Profitable.
Secondary goal: Make/keep the imperial military a powerful political force.

Very bold of you to assume that the heir’s wife’s parents don’t have divorce forms filled out and signed already, just in case. Never too early to be prepared for a coup!

It would be a shame if the divorce forms say, got destroyed in a fire.

That’s why you always have a backup somewhere safe. Always be prepared, unless you want that tourism money to disappear with the next power grab!

The Venusian peasantry probably isn't super fond of performing back-breaking labour every day to grow food that's mostly shipped off world, Ishtar could probably use some muscle to keep them in line.

Well, the best way to keep peasants in line is bread and circuses. Plus, even a great marshal probably wouldn’t mind a vacation, right?
