I was literally just recruited into SF but unfortuantely during this wierd transistion phase. Although keeping SF the same is an option, you could also rename it to say..."Queen Carina's Navy" or "Queen Carina's Fleet" and just keep the command structure and rules the same. That would be similar to a merge without changing too much. Then again, I just joined so whatever the older SF members wish to do takes precedence. The main reason I'm posting is to say that whatever happens, I'd like to stick with it. I haven't created a character yet and I'll just wait to do so until a decision is made, that way the naming scheme will be correct.
Edit: Almost forgot. Like I said I haven't created an SF character yet but my other characters are =LSF=Motown and MotownTradingInc, if either of those seem familiar.
