Title: Bosch's government
Post by: karajorma on June 27, 2003, 01:47:27 pm

A quick question.

In which of the 3 systems did Bosch have his government? I thought it was Regulus at first but the first Loop mission seems to point to it being in Polaris.

EDIT : While I'm here does the game mention any planets in either system?

Polaris.

eh, planets? I don't think so. Make them up if you need to.

(I mean, I don't think it mentioned any specifics, but I'd imagine there'd have to be planets to have a true government. )

I intend to make them up but I'd look pretty stupid if I say something like "Polaris only has 3 planets" and there is a mention of Polaris 7 in a briefing somewhere :D

The only 100% confirmed ones I can remember are:

Deneb: at least 1 (I think that was called Cygnus 4 or 6, so it has a good number)

Ross 128: at least one

Vasuda: at least one

Capella: at least one

Altair: at least 4 (IIRC, they found the Ancient stuff on Altair 4)

Capella had a bunch... just look at the CBanis near the end of the game...

And can someone tell me the strikeout vB code?

It seems that Bosch originally started the NTF in Polaris but the bulk of his military forces were in Regulus.

I just make up stuff for the planets. The only systems I can remember where they give the number of planets is for Altair (5), Capella (6) and Gamma Draconis (0).

Actually that was "Cygnus Prime," which could really mean anything. :D

That's why I thought Regulus was where his government but in the first Loop mission where Bosch is fleeing Polaris they speak of installing an interim government in Regulus which suggests that it wasn't there to start with.

hmmmm.

Remember in one of the Breifings or whatever they were talking about how Earth once looked to Polaris for guidance, and Earth was a utopia. And now that Earth is cut off, they want to turn Polaris into the Guidance and Utopia for the Neo Terran Nation. Or something to that affect.

My money's on Polaris.
