Soon I will begin expanding the L5 region. There are two other major governments that exist here: the Free Commerce States and the Rishiri Dominion.
The FCS exists mostly as a free trade and mutual defense association; both the L5 Alliance and the Rishiri Dominion are technically still members.
The Rishiri Dominion is an offshoot which has close ties to Luna and subscribes to the Aegis Doctrine (peace through unity, unity through strength). Unlike Luna, the Rishiri Dominion is not a totalitarian government. Like the other L5 colonies it is a technocracy, has a high standard of living and fairly good protection for human rights. The Rishiri council believes that the space colonies can and should form a new, utopian civilization. Forces which oppose this ideal, such as the bohemian colonies and the Blades of Crihna pirates, should be eliminated. Although in conflict with the L5 Alliance, neither side shows much interest in attacking the other. The residents of the RD colonies view other spinner dwellers as misguided, but still part of this new step in human evolution, even if they don't realize it yet.
Most of the spinners in the L5 region will be found on the outside rim of the map torus in mostly a straight line. The inside torus is closer to the trojan asteroids at L5 center; here there are mining colonies and secret pirate bases.
The next colonies to be added are-
Gaos Spinner, a resort colony, member of the FCS
Kosaka Spinner, capital of the FCS
Theles Spinner, aka Meatyard, member of the FCS
Xianzai Spinner, a large trading hub between the L5 colonies, Luna, Earth, and beyond. Member of the FCS.
After that I will add some Rishiri Dominion colonies; unfortunately the only one I currently have detailed is Rishiri Spinner itself.
I may also add the Federated Territories space station Highfox-1. Aegis doesn't have a dedicated space station, but the Aegis Expeditionary Force does work out of the Rishiri Dominion.
Security in the FCS is provided by a number of private mecha forces and the Privateer's Guild. Soldiers and conventional military forces are practically unknown in the colonies.
The Rishiri Dominion's mecha force is called the Rocket Stars. I've decided that they will have transforming mecha created by a third as-yet-unnamed L5 area corporation.
Once the L5 region is sufficiently large, I'll add episode breaks to the core story. The game should, at that point, start looking fairly playable.
One thing that needs to be done before then is to redo the garrisons used by the game. Right now I think it produces far too many pilots/police/etc. Also, adding the guaranteed garrisons to cities is a pain.
I also need to add more plots, and make sure that all the factions are working. By "working" I mean they should have stories, have recruiters/trainers/shops in the game world, and have advancement bonuses.
