Actually, I've never read game of thrones. I'm basing this off several things.

And fixed. You should be satisfied with it now.

A million years? I didn't expect that, but sure.

I was basing that off the roleplay continuity discussion we had a while back where I suggested that the USS Wintreath from Space Expeditions made contact with the Aesir who already had FTL capabilities.

That whole "nobody sees the real problem and continue fighting their petty battles" thing is actually a very old trope. George R. R. Martin simply executes it damn well.

Yeah I know, I just don't know the trope name.

Will respond at some point in the near future.... just got REALLY busy this week. 

Hey, @Aragonn, just out of curiosity, what does the Aesir do when they encounter a resource-rich, habitable planet that some other species is occupying? Do they try to settle anyways and make an effort to coexist, or do the Aesir have some kind of Prime Directive doctrine that precludes any sort of interaction with primitives between certain points in development?

I'm assuming they're not being hypocritical dicks who are telling the Damli to stop because the Aesir want the planet...

They have a bit of a Prime Directive doctrine. They don't make contact until the civilization has made it into space. And even then, it's just a "Hello. We are here and occupy this space." type of thing. Official contact where the two civilizations actually sit down and have a conversation doesn't really happen until the primitives can travel between the planets in their star system and colonize them. Then it's like a gentle guidance to FTL capabilities and eventually becoming a fully functional part of the Empire. Every non-Aesir species within the Empire frees up a higher percentage of Aesir to serve in the military and protect the non-Aesir species of the Empire and thus allowing for a somewhat more exponential expansion than the conventional methods.

Though the Aesir only lay claim to worlds which they know they can maintain a presence at at all times. Anything outside is subject to circumstances like Satyron IV.

I see. Do species that are surrounded and de-facto under your control have to offer a tribute or anything like that for continued protection? What happens if a species tries to subvert your control or openly rebels against it?

They usually become industrial centers or agricultural worlds depending on the condition of the planet(s) and the needs of the Empire. They continuously produce for the Aesir, and the Aesir keep pirates and invading forces at bay.

If a civilization decides to be xenophobic, they are left to themselves in their star system. But they can't venture out without trespassing, so it's a very limited existence. With a little propaganda over a decent period of time, they may actually decide to join the Empire.

Just so you guys know, I finished my Wintreath Remnant post on Wednesday. I'm just waiting for @BraveSirRobin to give me the okay on a certain piece before I post.

@BraveSirRobin

Waiting on you

@Aragonn I don't believe you ever responded to the Science ambassador at Drekiheimr.

@Rasdanation I believe I am still waiting for you to respond to my explorer.

@North Are you planning on updating your factbook with Spode's First?

I did add Religion. Once their......motivations, history and all that are more open, yes, I do.

Didn't notice =P I don;t have enough time to get anything up for that tonight though, it's too late.
