    Dealing with Interdependency

    @Andrew[/USER] and I were talking on discord about some recent RP that I somewhat liked and didn't see a problem with and he did. I'm going to paraphrase (hopefully correctly) what I think the core of the problem he was was. "I've worked too hard on my plots for some rando to come in and police...

    Use the Setting Discussion Board

    It is imperative that we do not try to answer questions about the setting solely over chat. Discord is great for the community, but we need to actually use this forum for its intended purposes. If you have questions pertaining to the setting, events of the past and present, as well as any...

    Ethnic Appearances?

    This is actually a bit of an interesting question which came across my mind earlier today, and I'm just now getting around to typing it out; I was originally planning to only ask Wes in DMs about Yamatai, but I figured it might be nice to get a general scope of this for other...

    Neshaten Flag

    This is the current Neshaten "flag": Here's the article that explains the symbology. There are a number of problems with this flag design, the first of which is that it doesn't appear to be a flag at all. It's not a solid piece of cloth (it's got cutouts in the middle) and it has rounded...

    The Rather Large Hyperspace Array (Map rearrangement concept)

    Yamatai used to be able to move stars around. This was not used often, but it was useful. We used it to help the Lorath move Lor into the current Lorath space, and we used to to move Hanako's Star from the Bard Cluster to the Ketsurui Military Sector. We need to regain this capability, for OOC...

    Possible projects (Do we need to fill these gaps?)

    This is a query to see what sort of utilities in the setting that we might want to see as Players and GMs. Since there are some gaps. After looking through the list of corporations, and businesses, I have noticed that we have a proliferation of manufacturers, producers, and think tanks. We are...

    What is Star Army's Plot?

    Is has come to the attention that one of the major things people expect to see when looking at this site is a page for the plot. So, I'm working writing that page and it got me thinking: what do you guys think? Can you, the members, try to describe the overall plot of Star Army RP in your own...

    Jannafette & Qua'Jurein (Introduction and character/setting advice desired!)

    Hello, everybody! While I've been engaging in textual roleplay for a few years now, I have yet to try my hand at forum roleplay, much less in a pre-existing setting. Considering that Star Army from its beginning was geared more towards militaristic, humanoid characters, I wanted a bit of advice...
