Really, I just didn't say anything on the old Star League Core site. Age of Chaos is an original name assuredly as it came from my old campaign called Splinters. That I discussed or posted way back when. Based on my setup work for BTSD (the start of the Successor War era) Shwangpo threw them both together. At any rate the breakdown of the Great Houses into their regional components or successor states just didn't work for me during the Succession Wars.
It was originally called Chaos Wars...I swapped it out for the Age of Chaos. It was never on the old SLCore site (wish it was...probably would have made a difference.)
Although, if he got some of his ideas from you at the time that's cool. I only conversed with him via e-mail. But this, all of this is mostly me. The only stuff I ever got from him was a single e-mail idea he wanted to turn into an AU with my help. In it he wrote about the SLDF fleet returning, but battered and all of the states breaking down cleanly into their original proto-nation parts. Craziness for sure.
Well clearly, I axed the SLDF bit and this will be nothing but dirty. No clean breaks here folks.
What about giving the Outback the whole Minette OA?
This way a rather large chunk of worlds would be taken out of the Federated Suns.
The Outback will have a good bit to themselves. We'll also loose some worlds permanently. Being isolated and alone for a long time is bound to have ecological and environmental consequences.
That would be awesome!
You say that now. You haven't seen the sheets.
As for this....
Now if the Houses go after ComStar facilities and communications breakdown I could see such a scenario. The House Lords deprived of effective means to talk with the destruction of Jumpships and HPGs could get cut out by a rising tide of independent states. Warlords with their own agendas, people yearning for freedom, and associated craziness could all follow. ComStar would probably help this regional sovereignty along as they are under attack and see breaking down the evil Successor Lords as way to survive.
ComStar does play a huge role in the breakup, but not like this - it's a good idea, but not what we'll be using.
