With the Unified Planets and Tet’sali League being the two main political factions, I like to keep their names popping up once in a while to remind readers of the bigger forces at play in the background.
Sometimes the info will be important for later but sometimes it may just be “flavor text” to keep the series feeling as if there’s a bigger universe out there, whether it directly affects the crew or not.
Enter Cember? 😉
Forani shipyard disputes are like watching the Vnarian Lower House try to debate a stimulus plan. It takes about three minutes before everyone is beating on each other and shooting at each other and throwing grenades.
The Forani sure know how to dispute! Just think what happens when their college football team wins the big game! Full riots aplenty!
