A freindly reminder that if you have a problem with the faction it should be left here, I'm more than willing to talk out issues here formally. Complaining elsewhere will achieve nothing.
I've decided to go over and edit custom names of the Omega territories into our Lore, I've already begun to employ the use of Icelandic tongue in SOA comms. Members of the RHA are encouraged to mix it up, we use icelandic regions to name our warships, we also use norse mythology in almost all aspects of naming our ships and guns. German/icelandic words are encouraged for those of you that like mixing things up. I'd also find it cool to see more Icelandic names. @"Omicega" a tried it with his character and the name actually sounds pretty cool.
Expect to see a "How 2 Hessian" tutorial in the future that will explain a lot of stuff, Omega characters should definitely employ the use of Icelandic names/surnames.
Base siege or not, that's way too much overkill for two cruisers. I'm ashamed to see the SCRA partake in such actions as well when I know they're to be held to a higher level of standards especially since it was a Civillian target.

Where does that trend for iceland come from, by the way? I'm actually surprised the Hessians are less refering to, you know, Hessians but to stuff not even remotely related to Hesse.

That's actually my fault. When I was a bit newer, I made a Jorm, which was my second battleship. The Hessians were commies and common pirates at the time. I noticed that Hessian ships and bases were named after Norse stuff, and I didn't know what and where Hesse was yet, so I was thrilled to RP my captain as a Viking and raid Bretonia and Space Eastern Frankia (Rheinland) every once in a while. Wesker, among other noobs, seems to have liked my erroneous RP and, with Zayne's support, he officially integrated it into the faction.
Another example of how I can be poisonous to this community.
Well, it could've been worse.
Back in 2013 I've seriously considered turning RHA into Norse Zealot faction, with Sons of Odin being main division, Sons of Thor - capital ship one and Sons of Loki - diplomacy/espionage.
Fortunately, my HC was much more reasonable than I and reformation project failed HC vote.
I mean, there is nothing wrong with it. It's just a weird evolution of things, as there is nothing more central-rheinlandian than Hesse - so one would think they would make use of the central-rheinlandian nomenclature and culture instead of turning into the Red Norse.

We do.
read lore and station names.
Vogelsberg = Vogtland
Wiesbaden(capital) = Planet Wiesbaden area of residence for the HC of the Hessians including Generalmajor
Odenwald river = [RHA]RHC-Odenwald
Nort/east Kassel = Battleship Kassel
Taunus = Taunusfeild
If we were to get a new Battleship placed in 4.9 it would be Knulll.
As for the Nordic stuff, our ships revolve around nordic tounge. Norse names have bee employed for the Hessians since their new shipline. That, plus I don't think everyone living in the Omegas would be inherently Rheinlandic or Bretonian or Cretan. With all that said, I think there should be some kind of unique naming scheme for Hessians in the Omegas and the Omega territories.
Baden-Wurttemberg sounds dank tho ngl, might request that to be the new BS name.
