I was thinking of having the founding of the corps as a small news item in that small news item article in #3, we can do an expanded thing on it in #4. Kind of set the scene in #3.

Put an end to popups!

With 4 rovers, an Ogre, and a soon-to-be-built infantry scout, it's time to organize ourselves into Divisions and Theaters of Operation

I suggest:

As R-112 CRV and Chiron Knights were first out of the starting blocks (and as both are currently together to the south) that they become Brigades of the 1st Army Division, operating out of Sparta Command

Rolling Thunder is then a Brigade of the 2nd Army Division, as will be Kassi's rover unit when they get commissioned (operating out of Sector Craterwest)

Shrek, as a Special Forces Unit, attached to the 3rd Army Division (Base garrisons, civil defense and special ops), based in Santiago Citadel

I've gotta write in The Phalanx about the escapades of my unit, just so that I can add that pic. Some sort of "Journal of a Soldier" or something, that could all well be used to cover up for Being a Spartan 4 which will be about life in the military. Strange how I just pull a BaS topic out of my hat and five minutes later automatically figure out a way to write an article under it. Magic.

hey - great idea!!

maybe in the website as well, just before we go public with it - but we'll let the Phalanx introduce it (have to give it a name - perhaps a Spartan childrens' toy Trevor the Temperamental Tank [keeps bumping into things and turning 180 degrees round] or summat like that)

Does anyone have an idea how we could call our transport foil?

Also, should we give special names to all our infantry units and probe teams, or leave them anonymous as they currently are in our Inventory.

Hades

Hehehe, of course, that's assuming the Gaians haven't already taken the initiative on this first.

If we do go with the convention we discussed a few months ago (SCC for Spartan Combat Craft and SNC for Spartan Noncombatant Craft), how about SNC Mercury (the messenger of the Gods) or SNC Pegasus (Pegasus went on to greatness as the "Thundering Horse of Jove" who carried lightning bolts for Zeus) or more mundanely SNC Provider (It's our Canadian support vessel that saw action in the Gulf)

Seeing that our impact infantry doesn't have a commander yet, and seeing that Googlie has IIRC in some posts roleplay-explained my lower involvement in the daily running of the faction as "being on the field" to prepare the war against the University, would it be ok if I became commander of that impact infantry unit?
