In my capacity as wiki admin and assistant FM of Nepleslia I was updating character creation guides to see if any "the current year is" lines needed updating when I came across this:
I propose we update this section to discontinue Nepleslia's use of child soldiers. I know that Nepleslia is now in the Third Mishhu War but we have ID-SOLs and clones, we don't need naturally-born kids. This gets weird when you consider that since this part of the guide was written we've fleshed out the IC calendar, and, due to the IC year being 315 days, the years line up a little different, and the IC ages are 16 and 18 could be roughly equivalent to 13.8 and 16.4 Earth years. The easy solution is to just edit this so that Nepleslian ships stop having cabin boys or fighting lads or whatever they're called and just raise the minimum age to 21 IC years which is 18.1 Earth/OOC years. This seems straightforward to me but I figured I'd run this idea by everyone before making a change, and I'd like to hear from the other Nep FMs.The minimum age for a naturally-born person to join the Nepleslian military is 16. HOWEVER; these members of the Nepleslian military are generally put into early enrollment units and programs, such as technology divisions. No one under the age of 18 is allowed to serve in active field duty and/or operations.
