Could someone tell me what data should be included in an FT factbook please? So far I've been a PMT/NFT nation, and I'm now going into FT. Thanks to anyone who answers.

I wasn't too sure, so I modeled mine on the Homeworld Wikia for their stuff. I just put detail I thought was relevant in, i.e: Home-Planet, History, Biology, Technology etc.

EDIT: My Factbook is 'Encyclopedia: Incandescent Serenity', located in my signature.

Thanks

Exactly the same sort of information as you might have in a MT/PMT/NFT factbook!

But wouldn't stats like Land Area be irrelevant, yet others more apt to the time period/tech level be more important? Que?

Not really. If your nation occupies a whole planet like the Dahanese Commonwealth and innumerable others, you just give some planetology details instead. All nations, past and present, have entire peoples and cultures to document, economies to keep track of, governments to plan, military forces to defend and attack... the only real difference is that instead of floating around in the sea, you float around in space! FT just allows more creative license, is all.

It's really the same stuff except you mold it to fit your FT nation. Like instead of land details, you can put in planetary details (e.g. how many planets, what they are like, their populations, etc.). Other than that, things like government, culture, military, etc. are the same.

The biggest difference is that you should probably identify the type of race you are RPing and what type of technology.

Checkout my sig in my factbook...I covered a buncha stuff in there (particularly the first fifteen posts).

THanks, everyone. Verdantia Imperium, my FT nation, will use these factbook items.
