They shouldn´t complain. It took FASA ages to publish the revised edition of The Periphery with their first, whopping, three own units. Since then, the number of dedicated periphery-units more or less equals the number of dedicated successor state units.
So, it would be a good deal if a major house TRO came attached with a lesser political unit, but besides CapCon/MoC, where else would we see that? OTOH, it´d be funny to have FedSuns and Taurians share a book. Poetic justice and such.
Regulus and Andurien would count as "associated realms" of the re-formed Free Worlds League.
Perhaps some Clan Wolf-in-Exile units might end up in the LCAF file, and some Nova Cats in with the DCMS?
Plus, I'm hoping that the new ComStar toys hinted at in
ER:3145 will be included in
TRO:3145 Republic of the Sphere. (It's about a good a place as any to put them.)
I wonder if the RotS file will be the last of the eight to be published? If so, I imagine that it may be a case of saving some of the most exotic units for last, since it would presumably have the
Colossi added in there.
Although it would be ironic if
TRO:3145 The Clans came out second-to-last (after the five House files), which would enable the QuadVees to skip ahead of the
Colossi in the
BT publication order.
