Allright, the 8 Sleeper ships

[Klaw117]

If you ask me, the terms "Benitez Family (one of the ruling families in the Council of the Dons)" and "Medici Family (powerful, possibly ruling, family from Florence, Renaissance Italy)" should imply some similarity between the two governments.

Either way, if the Italians had a sleeper ship, it was probably destroyed and they went off on the Hispania while the French were left to fend for themselves (which could explain why Gallia hates the Houses). If the Italians didn't have one, then they probably went on the Hispania anyway. I think it's been established that the Hispania contained Mediterranean colonists, not just Spanish.

Benitez is Hispanic, not Italian. Medici? Is this from vanilla?

Pretty sure it is. If you read the Outcast news, they do mention certain families in the Council gaining power. I may have gotten the name wrong, but you got to admit that this does imply a very close similarity between the two.

Benitez... are supposed to be outcasts... I read a rumour at FP10 earlier I think.. that said Benitez and some other family run the largest plantations on malta....

I’ll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it’s flag that I love
And a flag that I trust

Benitez (NPCs) are on the both sides... other families also.

I know where the 8th sleeper ship is from, HOLLAND

the netherlands are one of the biggest shipbuilding nations in the world atm,
so it would make sense,

Netherlanders had other opportunities, they didn't have to build their ship. They could board on Bretonia, Rheinland or even Gallia.

There is lack of Australia ship. They probably flew some different direction, because they like big empty space and they wanted to be far from others.

[reavengitair]

Australia has oceana.. or whatever ...

If anything we'd be on the Kusari, there's some irony for ya! (WWII, Japs attacked Darwin:D)

Guys, do you ever read our in-game news?

No trustworthy information is present right now about the origins of the Gallic house, since our records indicate that the French sleeper ship was destroyed along with Italian and Australian sleeper ships prior to the day when Liberty, Bretonia, Kusari, Rheinland and Hispania launched from Jupiter. Records of the destruction show no possibility of rebuilding or repairing the ship, especially considering the fact that later the Coalition took the whole launch facility under its control.

That's what Discovery says. Officially.
