At this point I think you're going to have to up analdrun
otherwise nozz is going to have to retcon a whole lot about
lokyan.

I was under the same impression as Durandal. And the corporate
backing is more to explain how he got so much power so quickly.
Lokyan's got a fence business funding him, Analdrun's got his
slave empire, etc.
And as for not needing to be pirates, these aren't your
grandad's pirates. What better way to do.... Analdrun's 'things'
or fight to overthrow a council government (the Hanar) or system
(the Compact) than operate completely outside of the law,
stealing and looting etc? As a wise man once said, 'you can
never have enough loot.'

Problem I have with that is, no way an organized government
would let you get that strong.
That, and if lokyan were THAT powerful, analdrun wouldnt have
stood a chance from the getgo...

Obviously, I thought the Hanar was a lot more powerful than he
is.
You mentioned that he was in league with spoilers

I assumed we were all aria level. And I figured the planet was
in the terminus system. There is no law out there and no major
government presence. The alliance navy isn't going to dispatch
a fleet to fight some pirates in the backwoods of nowhere.

Exactly. When I saw how Analdrun acted, I expected Caligula
Level army. Frumentari slaves, Centurion slavemasters and
Praetorian bodyguards for the man himself.

"Some pirates in the backwoods in the middle of nowhere"
Thats exactly what I was thinking we were.
Not an army that could stand against aria, blue suns, blood
pack, etc. But rather a collection of concentrated power that
just gets to a person's head all the easier because theyre
secluded from any greater power.
You dont have to be incredibly strong to be proud of your
strength. Relativism.

Well unfortunately at this point we have essentially two
options. Nozz and I both assumed our characters are kings. So
we can either keep playing along with that, or we have to retcon
quite a bit of the story.

I guess it comes down to what tank says, but i guess we could
just lower the numbers? uh, though i guess we could just go with
it?
Tank, what say you?

Well, I don't mean to rock the boat too badly--like I said,
you'll have to bear with me. I'm kind of inclined to agree with
Rev though--I don't see 3 people pulling that much influence so
quickly. Aria's been at it for hundreds of years and not to
mention Omega's more than just a space station but a major hub
for the Terminus System. Rouger may be a planet, but I never
personally invisioned the city as having more than a few hundred
thousand souls, if that many. Practically speaking, none of you
can be Aria level powerful, as she has sole control of her spot
and you three are sitting on an uneasy truce to occupy it.
Also, besides Omega, she's got three of the most well known
intergalactic gangs/private military contractors at her beck and
call.
I don't think you'd ahve to scale back too badly, just not make
your guys invulnerable to the authorities if they should turn an
eye to you. I see the situation as being like the Golden Age of
Piracy where a deluge of military grade ships and the like are
out in the open because of cut backs and confusion post reaper
war...i understand it's a bit of a stretch anyway, but for me
it's more believable than so many people becoming so powerful so
quickly.
From a story telling perspective, I'd personally prefer it if
none of you were Arias. It just strikes me as no one would let
pirates get so powerful--hell Aria always annoyed me as a
character period...but that's personal preference.
I don't know, is that cramping on your style?
