Redoing/Sending sheet
Moon - Cosmopolis - The largest colony of mankind in space, Cosmopolis is controlled by United Nations. In essence, the only non-affiliated colony, it has not been attacked or drawn into the war in any way whatsoever. This is mainly due to the fact that Cosmopolis also holds the UN Council where all the sides go to bicker with each other and try to appear as the "good guys". Cosmopolis also holds the "UN Space Fleet North" - one of the largest standing fleets in space (albeit slightly technologically lagging), making it hard to assault, even if any of the sides had any intention to do so.
Moon - Victoria - One of the two main military bases of the EAU in space, Victoria is located on the far side of the Moon in the South Pole–Aitken basin. Known also colloquially as "the Furnace", it is the largest centre of mining and production currently in space and is responsible for producing the vast majority of parts and ships for the EAU Fleet. This, of course, has made it a huge target for the Alliance, who have so far tried to assault the lunar city for three times now. The first two times, they were pushed back by the three gigantic orbital military platforms surrounding Victoria, called "Trinity". "Operation Nemesis", the third attempt at destroying the city, didn't even make it to assault range, as it was completely wiped out by Rubicons (marking the first time Rubicons were deployed in battle).
Lagrange 3 - Joint Operative Headquarters Nebulus - A massive colony that serves as the logistical and strategical centre of the Alliance Navy, Joint Operative Headquarters Nebulus (or JOH-N) is the largest open space colony ever created. It is also one of the most militarized ones, consisting of almost no civilians and possessing a military population that surpasses 9 million. Due to this and its relative distance from most Alliance supply bases, it should be evident that there would be some sort of supply issues in maintaining this gigantic base... but for some unknown (and well hidden) reason, JOH-N manages to supply almost all the needed materials and necessities needed for its troops. Not only that, but the number of soldiers and ships stationed there seems to increase daily. As such, JOH-N remains one of the few places the EAU have not dared to attack, even with the overwhelming power of possessed by their Rubicons
More later.
Not really. It has been only 29 years after all. Mankind hasn't reached that far yet (and it would take a united effort to get that far, which this whole "war" thing is kinda interrupting).
Also added 2 more suits to the OP.
Yeah. There is a bunch of independent corporations out in the Asteroid Belt (mainly mining M-Type asteroids) along with pirates, as well as a fair amount of smaller military outposts (along with Nova Calendus, actually), both mercenary and EAU/Allaince, to counter said piracy.
The miners basically dig out an asteroid (while living in it) and then just leave it behind, so there is a lot of abandoned "shell bases" around (something which pirates absolutely love). Its distant enough to be relatively unimportant to either the Alliance or the EAU though (the effort to control the area is pointless when they can just buy shit from the miners for a fraction of the cost), so they are relatively independent.
I assume the colonies are mostly in the Asteroid Belt, Mars, and the Moon, then? And each country can be assumed to have at least one colony, right?
quotes
Various Lagrange points, Asteroid Belt, Moon, one or two on Mars (relatively unimportant and small seed colonies), some "free space" colonies and battlestations.
The (civilian) colonies themselves were created by an international effort, so they really aren't "owned" by any countries, but are rather independent "nations" in the UN (well, at least the larger ones). Some are Alliance, some are EAU, some are Pact and some are completely independent (like the Asteroid Belt corporations and their minor colonies).
Cosmopolis was completed (per original design) 29 years ago, so I guess? It was pretty much built as a "space city" to begin with, so children would have been there from the start. They branched out pretty fast though (there were a 4-5 larger colonies built within the next 3-4 years).

Also, I know I said the deadline for submissions is on the 9th of March, but I was thinking of starting to lock in some of the more contested slots earlier, so that those that didn't make it with that "slot" can change their sheet and apply for a different one (if they so desire of course). Obviously, I wouldn't lock in any slots that I haven't gotten all the applications for.
What do you guys think? Would you like it all in one go, or would you like a slow (say 1-2 per day) trickle of confirmed applications?

Edit: Made a mistake, changing vote to confirmed apps being shown day by day.

You should probably show them in one go if you have decided they'll be in already. Otherwise you'd be lying about which roles are available for those who didn't make it and want a second chance.
[18:30] RacingeR: Max S.Link with hero is when you promise your daughter to him
[18:31] RacingeR: Which means Airen and me are the only ones that maxed it (I promised Spin to him, and Spin is my daughter)
[18:32] hero: oh shit
[18:32] hero: spincess get
[18:32] hero: suck it fuckers
If there are space pirates are there also space privateers?
Basically, if that means all at once right now for those you have accepted then that option.
But if you mean that on March 9th then trickle down.
So in other words, the choice that gives us the most info in the shortest span of time.
If you have decided on any roles, i'd rather you post them up.
But hey, you're the GM. Just do as you want :V
If you've seen some sheets for certain roles and decided that those sheets definitely get those roles then it won't hurt to post which roles are set in stone so that people who shot for those have a chance to reroll.
