Its good, but I hope you guys will please step away from using only Egypt terms for vasudans.
That narrowed approach for the Vasudan society gave me always the feeling for mutated Egypt flying in space.
Its custom for vasudans " to take on what they call a Terran name " that was after the great war and
"Because the Vasudan homeworld was primarily desert, the Terrans used Egyptian names to designate Vasudan warships during the Terran-Vasudan War and the Great War. After the defeat of the Shivans, the Vasudans insisted on maintaining this convention. The Emperor strongly identified with the history of Ancient Egypt, particularly the longevity of its civilization. Following their Emperor's example, Vasudans will take on what they call a Terran name from the myths and history of Ancient Egypt"
For the Military still okay, but not for the Vasudans as a whole, I mean after 50 ?? years of interchange, specially history, that its normal to see something like a female vasudan scientist calling herself "Marie Curie" or for civilian freighter "Makai" [HAWAIIAN WORD Makai: toward the sea]
And how the Vasudan thinks of that as an insult " to take on what they call a Terran name " that the stupid monkeys are able to distinguish our people.
I had never thought about the caste system but it would be real interesting to go deeper into detail.
Why, it could give an explanation why they recover relatively well and if your born into one or you can choice from an particular age.
I think to ability to choose fit better with the vasudans and why not more than one.
"the Vasudans are a civilization of philosophers, artists, and scholars rather than warriors" I would say there is now a strong military caste and good opportunity to show the diffrent approaches to war.
" The Art of War " fit them really well, instead of fixed fleet movements " Terrans art; Showing your womens womb" and more the fluent fleet movements "Vasudans art ; The Swordwind" sent out scouts and attack in one fluent strike ( Power OverWhelming ) that would give an explanation for the swarm tactics in the TVW !?.
Some **** like that.
"Showing your womens womb" Well, a kind way for the vasudans to satirical the terrans for this " to take on what they call a Terran name ".
Why I am writing this hmm, I am bored and would like to give a other point of view, I guess !
I really looking forward for WiH and Good luck!
