1) Not if their home is inside a gravity well.
2) It would be similar to a person who renounces their citizenship. By leaving your cohort you're sliding toward Indy.
3) I think here it would vary based on the Clan and timeframe. During the darker times in their history, both the Clans and the Syndicates proved very pragmatic survivors.

3) Suppose a Clan prince legally adopted a child, and had no children by blood. Upon his death, would it be the adopted child or a blood relative (such as a cousin) who inherits the princedom? A Clan Prince chooses their successor, almost exclusively from within their bloodline. If they tried to choose otherwise, the result after their death would depend upon the quality of the choice and the political climate around other successors. Perhaps plots would be hatched and things would happen. Much would depend whether there was a suitable blood heir who was skipped over. |

I've been thinking about how Calagan's daughter in the main storyline was the captain of her own ship (the Medusa).
Do faction royals in ships have the same rights as a Star Trader (the right to land on any non-quarantined world, etc.)?

By joining a Star Traders, she relinquished her rights as a grav and became a Star Trader. She would have had to sign a contract with the Captain. |

I'm not talking about when she joins your ship's crew as a swordsman , I'm talking about before the destruction of the science base, when she arrives at the facility in her own ship. Surely she was not considered a Star Trader at that point? |

resistor She arrives as a passenger on a ship, not as a captain. I'm pretty sure that the Medusa, while part of the overall story, appears in a different story strand.

They specifically say that she is responsible because "responsibility flows upward" and that as the Captain of the ship, she was therefore responsible for the actions of the crew |

resistor, Brutus Aurelius, apologies gents, I was getting confused with the merchantman that rescued the survivors. After checking, the narrative clearly states "As the captain of the Medusa, Val will be found guilty". It occurs during the chat with Estelle and Calagan after you return from evidence gathering. It does also raise the question then, what is the status of Mr Volpane after has dad gets him a commision in the navy?

As the Prince is asking for the Captain to sign him on as they would any sailor, I would assume that includes renouncing his Faction citizenship, as any sailor would have to. Tho with the crew, they can always quit and return to the life of a regular grav. |

Tho with the crew, they can always quit and return to the life of a regular grav. Correct. Spacers who signed on as crew or officers have the options to return to grav life. Some of those who abandon do, deciding that spacing is not for them. Others seek out new captains. |

1. Maybe you could explain, in the lore book, the difference between Prince and High Prince.
2. When you have the content finalized, find yourself a proofreader. The book is pockmarked with grammatical errors.
3. The lore is consistent. Everything fits together and makes sense. Good job!

How do interstellar merchant companies work?
The Syndicated section of the lorebook says "...some cohorts are organized as an interstellar company of merchants...". How can a Syndicate captain be a part of a merchant cohort if becoming a star trader involves leaving their faction and cohort/family? Are they still legally star traders?

Wait, what? Star Traders are Star Traders. That's all they are. Syndicates and Houses both have the same rules regarding Star Traders, as defined under the Accords. I'm confused.
