Something like "For the profit of all", then. I'll think more about it. (Actually ... I do like "For the profit of all" as a motto for Moklumnue.)... In my opinion, that sounds too... benevolent... suspiciously benevolent. I see what you mean. As if they were trying to hard. "Trade is what binds us together." I would say "commerce" rather than "trade" for Mok, to reflect their involvement in other forms of commerce -- i.e., in other forms of interpersonal exchanges, such as diplomacy. The reason we will have to lock these pages once they get a good set of content. (Yup. But just to be clear: In the case of the spoof I posted, the fake mottoes only lasted a minute each, the time for me to take a screenshot.) |

While you gain a +25% price bonus for trading across Faction lines in the Exchange, within the Moklumnue trading network (Mok to Mok) you gain +10%. I need to bookmark this to get it into the wiki. It would be great to see all this stuff on their faction pages. I also need to get the 25% thing into the trading article too. Does that apply to Indies as well? |

Sorry I couldn't wait for April 2018. The Wiki will be locked by then.  I've (seriously, this time) edited the Moklumnue page. As with the Javat and De Valtos pages, the result is a shorter page, as I strove to convey more in fewer words. I hope it'll help new players get a better feel for the Faction -- and in less time, to boot! I followed the same model as with the Javat and De Valtos pages: ● motto ● sample proverb ● short description of the Faction ● short description of the typical (or archetypal) members of the Faction |

My Faction is Steel Song. I originally liked Steel Song as the first faction I ever played, and then I started learning more about the game and some lore, and Steel Song always stuck as my favorite.
I've never liked Cadar though. Or De Valtos. I've gotten over de Valtos though.

Not judging." -- A Moklumnue Trader Who'd Rather Stay Anonymous I don't think anyone from Steal Song likes Cadar. Respect, maybe, in some cases; but like? Pshah! Why doesn't anybody seem to like De Valtos, though? This Faction doesn't sound bad to me. Its standard of living is higher than that of other Factions, and not just among its wealthiest members. |

They get into Trade Embargoes frequently in STRPG. Trade Embargoes are annoying. |

Should I use "cohort" instead of "Family"? Or is a cohort larger than one's family+colleagues/employees?

Yes, any use of the word family in regards to the Syndicates is a typo or mistake.

My secondary faction has become Alta Mesa.
That might be changed if they do add Hunna as a playable faction.

My secondary faction has become Alta Mesa. That might be changed if they do add Hunna as a playable faction. The Hunna Collective, was it? Tell me more about them; I've only read vague mentions here and there. |

Here is information on the Hunna from the lore book draft, Sinocelt :
The Hunna
Independents have always existed on the fringes of Star Traders society. Those who choose to live free of the Faction
law, by their own code, or in an attempt to dodge the law altogether gather, live, and survive on the least habitable
planets of the Quadrants. Within these independent bastions and settlements, a the Hunna has arisen from the
resentment against the power and greed of the Factions. The battle cry of the Hunna is that the Factions have
abandoned Shalun Law in trust, only using it in name to further their greedy, bloody quest for power and wealth. The
rebel organization was first named and recognized in the conflict on the Javat mining world, Tennhaus IV, in which a
small battalion of Javat Faction Defenses was overrun in a bloody conflict. From there, the spark grew into a movement
that has endured more than a century. The Hunna do what they can to keep their operations secretive, and recruit from
among disenfranchised colonists, independents, and Faction laborers who agree with their damning read of the Faction
leadership’s greed and betrayal of Shalun. Because of their position on the fringe worlds and the edge of legality, the
Hunna work closely with smugglers, pirates, and other illegal operations as a way to fund their righteous cause. The
Hunna’s tactics are often violent, ranging from intimidation, murder, guerrilla warfare, sabotage, and assassination.
When and where they can, they follow their own version of Shalun Law, but as with any group walking such a knife
edge, they have made compromises for their cause. |

Which Faction is most likely to offer diplomatic missions, Moklumnue or Rychart? According to the Wiki, Rychart is the most politically active Faction, and its diplomats are everywhere; but is that true as far as game mechanics are concerned? ("Mediator" is a common trait among Moklumnue recruits.) |
