I agree that worlds with a higher base TL would have higher tech law enforcement and that different House and Church cultures might deal with crime differently, but I think I'm looking for a more generic answer about the etiquette of sovereignty and the pursuit of criminals.

How hard is it to escape arrest in Fading Suns? As I've played things previously. There's not much in the way of forensics in most constables offices. They may collect blood evidence in case a sheriff thinks it's useful but I don't see pre-industrial thug constables dusting for fingerprints or searc...

It would be an unusual crash that left a void ship in piece big enough that you couldn't load it into the back of a tiny shuttle and fly it up in 100,000 trips. The first problem is not smashing into a mountain. Void ships steer a lot like a train that isn't on a track, or the ground. They don't set...

Elric is kind of my character model for the typical Ukari. Honorably treacherous, heartlessly sentimental, Cold as a Malagnitus winter.

All These Things That I have Done. Setup: One of more players with a military background are either "reminded" of an old friend from the war or were introduced to a war buddy in their prelude. Captain Walker could be a good-natured Muster or a wise House Guard officer that the player knew...

Based on the Muster Fluff I alwasy imagine a Star-Wars-Planet-Scale swamp and jungle with these beaten trails from having legions of Muster Mercs run endless 10 mile hikes. Every clearing has an observation area, random obstacle courses covered in vines, kind of like if an entire planet was made int...

"Shaka, when the walls fell" ;) That is excactly where my inspiration for GMing graceful tongue comes from. I don't even bother to try to make it translatable. Al-Malik Nobles just have this constant running non-sequitor commentary that references historical figures and pop icons. If you ...

I think cohort, and here's some reasoning; -Knighthood is socially the same as an equivalent church or guild rank but it means much more to nobles. Those of noble blood who serve the emperor are probably uptight enough about the emperor elevating people to join the Order of the Phoenix but giving so...

Also the inquisition isn't pulling out the burners for an Engineer with a machine that can tell the difference between a rose and a cowpie. Invention sets off the alarms and if the church hears about and engineer that's looking for exotic parts there might be an investigation but once a tech savvy p...

From how I see it: Knighting is more than just a shoulder-tap with a sword. Knights swear loyalty to the House and renounce all other worldly allegiances (save marriage). If your Justinian accepted knighting by a Hawkwood Lord he would be leaving house Justinian behind. It wouldn't be a move the Haw...
