Lore Reference Materials

This thread is to provide some charts of general information for easy access, reference, and use. A brief explanation will be attached to each.

Feedback, suggestions, and corrections may be posted here.

Nota bene: this thread is not meant to dictate to people on how to roleplay, just provide factual information on what is what.
This is an official list of alternate system names, which may be helpful considering all of the different inRP names as well as the changes that came about in 4.88. Very few system removal plans are being considered in the future, so not much (if anything at all) will change from here.

If a system is not here, then it is generally not known by any other name. If anything is missing that should be here, or is incorrect, please let us know.

To preserve existing roleplay (comms/stories/etc.) use of these system names, many of the guard/excess systems that no longer exist in-game are reused in this list. This is meant to help ease the cost of retcons and the like. Some of these are only proposed or recommended alternate names, such as the Junkers referring to Kansas as Humboldt, sometimes.

The only totally retconned systems are (this list may be missing a system or two) Anjou, Artois, Berry, Braunschweig, Corse, Dusseldorf, Faroe, Franche-Comte, Fukuoka, Halle, Illinois, New Anglia, New Cambria, Omega-15, Omicron-81, Omicron-82, Omicron-96, Quebec, Savoie, Tau-63, and Tau-65.

There's frequent use of terms such as allied, friendly, neutral, unfriendly, hostile, and sometimes others such as "at war". Some factions have fun with creating unique terms, like piracy factions referring to anyone not an ally, friend, or arch enemy as "potential victims" or something like that. Or you can have Hogosha and Junkers each labeling the other as scum, and there are plenty of others, which is fun to have.

This part of the post only exists to help establish a bit more consistency amongst the general terminology. The vocabulary used for each rephack decimal is different (hence brethren and belligerent instead of a second allied and hostile) and examples are provided for generic Liberty Navy diplomacy (as of 4.88) since most people are at least somewhat familiar with them.

Anything between (or beyond, in the case of +1.0 and -1.0) the numbers is associated with the one next closest to zero, with the exception of -.6 which is the tipping point for NPCs to engage "red is dead" mode.
