Powerplay Faction: Aisling Duval New minor faction, help wanted with lore writing

Hey Aisling-lings. I'm going to be creating a new minor faction in Aisling space, Queen Jezza's Ice Princesses (name will probably change).

There is a small amount of lore already written in this document, which also outlines what we want to do as a group. But in short, we will decrease the Princess' fortification triggers due to our government type.
The lore is especially important, as FDev does not usually allow Empire Confederacies - I'm hoping that by writing some interesting lore, we can make a good case for them to implement us as that. Being aligned with the Empire will mean people can improve their Empire rank while doing missions for us, and it should be easier to spread in general, with correlates with decreased fortification triggers all over Aisling space.
I am therefore looking for people to help out with writing the lore and sort out the other stuff.

Please leave a comment here or otherwise contact me if you're willing to help out :)

It's not about lore being good, it's about FD being lazy to fix a bug related to the banned commodities lists.

Same reason why the Prismatic Imperium were turned to patronage when going live.
Same reason why Prism as One, an Imperial cooperative in Prism, specifically designed and described in-game as a co-operative, turned to patronage.
Same reason why the Prison Colony of Kan Aphu got changed from Alliance allegiance to Independent.

All within the same day and same patch.

If you can get FD to fix it and revert all of those to their original and unique states, then be my guest. You'll also have my gratitude for returning my alliance prison colony playground to me.

I'm aware that the odds are low. But we have great difficulty in spreading favourable minor factions throughout Aisling space, because people who don't know better naturally push Empire factions, which we're not strong against. An Empire confederacy would save us thousands of pilot hours in the long run.

If I can, I'll try and persuade them to fix your prison colony back as well, as I like the variety. That's not my main priority though.

I am so interested in helping with this.

Also, if the name isn't allowed, can we be the Ice Cremes? ;D

Since it's a confederate monarchy, and the lore mention that it's quite modern, I think the name of the faction should mention this.
A name than could mean different things could be nice (as an acronym, abreviation...), but hard to get a good one while trying to achieve this ^^

As an example, something really simple : Jezza's Imperial Confederacy.
JIC is an acronym for "Joint Industrial Council", abreviation for "Just in case (... you need an Ice Princess maybe ?)"... Nothing fun there but those are just examples :)

Or you could also go with "Queen Jezza's Imperial Confederacy".
A search with google just give me this for QJIC (first link in google) : http://www.whatstandfor.com/meaning-definition-of/qjic :D

That being said, good luck with the lore ;)

P.S. : did I say I'm not good at finding names ?

Edit : typo

Lore isn't going to help buddy, can't be done. We went back and forth with Zac on this for ages and the Prismatic Imperium is a true confederacy made up of various smaller groups, we had the lore necessary before we even knew we needed it. Now lorewise they're patronised by the Ryan family because we had to CHANGE OUR LORE to fit what we got.

If we can persuade FDev to let us do it, it will save hundreds, and indeed thousands of pilot hours in the long run. It's worth a try.

Something that I don't understand.
If I am no mistaken the faction should be Communist, Co-operative and Confederacy governments to be of benefit to Aisling. (lower fortification triggers)

So does this means we have to kick out Prismatic Imperium and other factions that are patronage or are they (PI or ED) going to change this in the future so it fits?

and why exactly do you aim for "Patronage style government" in your Crystal Armada Lore if this is not beneficial to Aisling?

Something I must have missed here.
