My main concern is this will radically alter the population in the whole RP - The Sesestrans are listed as having population numbers that are much greater than any of the existing factions. Also you are starting them with a whole bunch of star systems but you're just one player.
It honestly already has altered the population in the whole RP considering three of those four star systems have been approved, but in all honesty population counts seemed to have little baring on how powerful or how developed a faction is in Star Army RP. Case in point would be your own faction
@Wes, of the big three factions you have the smallest population by tens of billions yet you control the most territory by a massive amount and have a disproportionately large military for the size of your population. But you also have to ask yourself how that came about because remember the Sesestrans are a standard human faction with all that implies including a 'normal' population growth as such I don't think it should be compared to the likes of your Yamatai, Nepleslia, or even Lor due to the factors of how those factions came about and their histories.
A good starting example would be how only just recently Nepleslia had a horrible imbalance in its gender ratio and most of its population replacement was carried about by cloning. Arguably thats the theme of the faction and another part of what makes them interesting but a normal population model it does not back. In any event they still manage to have a larger population then Yamatai. However that is also simply due to the fact Yamatai lacks a normal population model as well. Hell over half of your population by your words are manufactured gynoids and most of the rest aren't human either (human 'plus' but they don't have normal processes associated with the human body so in my book they're more homo-superior then homo sapian), lets not even get started on the resulting gender imbalance that would cause. Out of the big three the lorath are the only ones with a normal'ish population curve and they aren't even human what does that tell you for whats 'normal' on sarp when it comes to population?
Now the reason the Sesestrans have such a large population as I've stated in each system submission so far is simply because thats how it would actually occur, given their limited space they would continue to develop and spread to all celestial bodies making maximum use of what they had thus star systems in which every celestial body has a large amount of population and development. Now in the future I plan to have them engage in the interesting corporate activity of colonization by proxy simply because they have large portions of the population living comfortably but cramped in acrologies in non-terran hospitable situations (IE on mars or mercury like planets), thus they have a large pool of willing and skilled personnel to settle worlds and develop them either for the Sesestran Colonial Union, its client states, or as part of some agreement. Literally that population is intended to be an export on top of a realistic model.
Now the question of the number of star systems they control was already answered as well, they're an NPC faction thus I'm not tied to the player count issues and the military build up limitation (yet). They will have a military as large as roleplay with them determines they need. In addition those star systems aren't some willy nilly paragraph worth of information and a pile of low grade planetary data, I've actually sunk some work into them and they're honestly more detailed and useful then 90 percent or so of those on Star Army as far as detail and chances for roleplay. The real question is why does Yamatai have so many star systems yet so little work done to them or for them? Honestly this whole stink over that count is directly tied to the military build up limitation which directly translates to military power instead of setting elements which is all star systems should ever be considered for.
Now I apologize for crappy grammar and a few run ons but I'd like this answered in the next day or two, otherwise I'll think the matter closed. ('Do we have enough anthros?' isn't an issue of greater import in my opinion.)
