[quote=@Sep] We're going to be quite political, as long as you prove you aren't here to kill us all. But as I said I'm doing some of my own RP work so won't do more sheet work till the OOC is going [/quote] He wouldn't be able to. If someone picks up a sword and rushes everyone else, everyone else is likely to pick up a sword or shield and band together to stop that sword from killing anyone. If someone has patrols along conflicting borders, one might think the other is preparing to launch a sneak/surprise attack. And, for that matter, conflicting borders might also mean disputes over mineral-rich systems or worlds. Could there be like relics/ruins'n'stuff so that we could research and fight over them? Places of scientific importance?
