I believe the second highest % of people in the CC speak Russian or of Russian descent
That works for the Wobbies & the techpriests of mars also. Nice quote !
And the meek shall inherit the earth...[II. Temples of Syrinx]...'The massive grey walls of the Temples rise from the heart of every Federation city. Ihave always been awed by them, to think that every single facet of every life is regulatedand directed from within! Our books, our music, our work and play are all looked after bythe benevolent wisdom of the priests...'We've taken care of everythingThe words you read, the songs you singThe pictures that give pleasure to your eyesIt's one for all and all for oneWe work together, common sonsNever need to wonder how or whyWe are the Priests of the Temples of SyrinxOur great computers fill the hallowed hallsWe are the Priests, of the Temples of SyrinxAll the gifts of life are held within our wallsLook around at this world we've madeEquality our stock in tradeCome and join the Brotherhood of ManOh, what a nice, contented worldLet the banners be unfurledHold the Red Star proudly high in handWe are the Priests of the Temples of SyrinxOur great computers fill the hallowed hallsWe are the Priests, of the Temples of SyrinxAll the gifts of life are held within our walls
Figured I'd make sure. I keep running into people who *don't*.
I need to get to writing The wacky misadventures of Gorky Zubok
This was a triumph!I'm making a note here:"HUGE SUCCESS!!"It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.Aperture Science:We do what we must because we can.For the good of all of us.Except the ones who are dead.But there's no sense crying over every mistake.You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.And the science gets done.And you make a neat gunfor the people who are still alive.
Thank you for the fast reply. What about Niops I, Niops II, Niops III, and Niops IV ??
What is known about Niops planetary systems ? I mean, moons (inhabitable or not), continents, plants and fauna, satellites, jump points, atmosphere, climate, ...Is there a place, a book where I can read about those things ?
World Name: Niops VIIStar Type: M5VPosition in System: 7Time to Jump Point: 2.44 daysRecharging Station: NonePolitical Ruler: High Associator Brandex Da-RiComStar Facility Class: NoneComStar Representative: NonePopulation: 13,245,000Percentage and Level of Native Life: 30%, FishDescription: The capital of the Niops Association is a cold, temperate planet with abundant aquatic life and fresh water sources.
I don't believe anything has ever been said. Anything beyond Niops VII is fanon, so disregard scurrilous rumors about Niops IX.
Be warry of the creature from planet IX!
"Many machines on Ix. New machines." ;)
Okay, so are the educated a minority? Or is the technical education among the Niopsian better than the rest of the IS excepting ComStar/Word? If they kept their technical base . . . do they have more automated worlds than the Inner Sphere? IE, a high percentage of farms run with AgroMechs instead of simpler tractors? Robotic factories?- which seems to run contrary to the Nighthawk fluff.Oh yeah, how friendly are they to mercs/foreigners? Especially with the politcal unrest that mercs seemed to be involved in.
Word of Blake invasion. By October 3079, the Niops Association Militia is at 1/3 strength, holed up on Niops V, and conducting a guerrilla war, with the Wobbies in control of Niops VI and VII.
The wobbies will never get IX.
We don't know that all the Workshops are toast - aren't they split between Niops V and VI?Also, when the hell did Niops VII get nuked?!?!?!
Ah, haven't picked that up yet - bad losses, I take it?
