Writing Todolist, in no particular order

-Fire Sky Period -Military Proliferation Act details -More on DeComp Rebels -Add/Update foreign relations for Karahotduom, Kastalians, Xeverra, Luminarians and Aeveria -Philosophy of autonomy and how it places responsibility on the individual, no man is a citizen, few rights are inalienable. -Recycler Trade & Expansion Commission -Assassination of High Chancellor Visas Jorental -Elaborate on reign of Bavur Trivac, current High Chancellor -Saracin entry into war -More info in general on Saracin -Reapers and how they fit into the war -EAW Starter Kit -New Sector Brainstorming -Betel Asanian company -Golden Face, Institutions -Everyday Betel life, focus on poverty and how that works on terraformed worlds -Faer Kollerbas and the Battle of Fehgrov against the Xeverra -Something bad happens when Yodd is ordered to reliquish power following Xeverran withdrawal. -Betel steal Sauran tech and hide it inside ships (sometimes even whole ships!) to avoid the Sauran finding out they have it -The Remusians and Betel form an unorthodox science agreement: Rather than simply exchange tech, the Golden Face and Science Directive form a HIGHLY illegal mercenary company with the intentional to fund R&D by selling their services to foreign nations and using the opportunity to test new data or technologies. Also serves as a means to foster increased co-operation. Hired out by Asanian Syndicate(?) to attack the Sauran(?). HIGHLY UNETHICAL! IT ALL MAKES SENSE I SWEAR. -and more

Stuff happening on Betel-Xeverra-Repzork Front quick reference
 * Karahotdoum: Training, Guns, Equipment, small amounts of troops attached to the Helmwehr grips. Karahotdoum are friends with Betel <3
 * Aeveria: Warily providing air support. Attempted evacuations. Cooperating with their friends, the Luminarians, I imagine. ACI using it as an excuse to keep tabs on things probably
 * Sauran: Deploying troops to assist the Betel, taking the moral highground. Unable to understand the Betel way of life, causes problems. To be continued!
 * Kastalians: Attempts to mend things between Sauran and Betel. Provides some advanced tech through the Siva Partisan Program. Lives among the Betel as monks in some cases, to assist in resistance.
 * The Luminarian Rebellion: Protect their assets they have in Betel space and keep the whole thing from collapsing, but distrustful of Betel. Economic routes. Study the Repzork. Help the Betel with science. Stay out of the way.
 * Galdera: Boy these guys hate the Repzork, you know who else hates the Repzork? The Betel. Tries to liberate the Betel a bit or at least flank 'em. The poorly-informed Betel think all these lizards look the same and shoot at them, so they also stay out of the way
 * Repzork: Screeeeeeew these guys.
 * Xeverra: We hated snakes before it was cool and we're still fighting them, but at least we're not losing much ground. Galden doesn't really care about territory anyways, so he ends up getting the metal he needs. Win-win...?
 * Asanian: When we joined the Cool Kids Peacekeeping Club they said we couldn't be friends with our weird flesh-devouring friends. "Okay, I'll break it off with them" the Betel said, not breaking it off with them. Asanians are economically linked to the Betel and eventually attempt to make them into a vassal of sorts. The Betel aren't super cool with that but they like playing the field. Asanian mercenaries are used widely on the Xeverra front as boarding forces and extra manpower.

Some ideas on Betel-Xeverra front: I was reminded of the Hindenburg-Ludendorff dictatorship that existed towards the end of WW1 and I realized there were some good parellels with what I want Yodd Wikrix's and Faer Kollerbas's situation to develop into, but different. Where Hindenburg served as a popular figurehead and Ludendorff the tactician, Yodd I see as being a competent and brutal administrator who projects stubborn resolve and Faer as the popular heroic tactician. While in league, the two are perhaps not ideologically on the same page they are close enough to trust and confide in each other.
