I have made it in line with the rules.
 
Hmm. I'm thinking that in some cases it might make sense to break out some of the larger sections into their own articles, replacing them with a paragraph of two of overview and then "for detailed culture, see [[faction:Random Alien:culture]] and so forth. Do you agree? I can help with this if you need me to.
 
3-day approval timer.
 
24 hours to go!
 
I don’t mean to be rude or anything, but isn’t giving (or allowing…?) a brand-new faction thirty-five star systems - an amount only surpassed by the “Big Two” of the setting, Yamatai and Nepleslia - a bit… much? From what I remember, no other player (or NPC) faction - some of which have existed for far longer, such as Elysia, the Iromakunahe, and the Neshaten - has anything close to that much territory.

Edit: As an unofficial suggestion - and this is a very, very, very rough ballpark number, as I haven’t looked at any faction territory counts - maybe reduce it to a dozen or so…?

One point to note is that this is a non-sector submission, by which I mean that it's going to not be on the main Kikyo Sector map. It's been discussed, in general, that as we branch out into new sectors, that things are going to be played a bit more loosely in regards to relative power of factions and things won't be quite the same as they are in the Kikyo Sector.
 
Fair enough, Alex, though I still personally feel that the system count should still at the very most be around twenty or so - as that way it’s merely a little less then triple the size of most other factions, as opposed to quintuple.

Edit: Regardless, however, consider my complaint officially withdrawn given what Alex posted above. These are merely my personal suggestions, nothing more.

I'd also ask you to consider that the systems are too far away to have any mechanical effect. we're talking months of travel time at full warp.

Essentially, the amount of ships allocated yo the Kikyo sector would be at most 10 or 15.
