I have a small series of questions here, regarding the Exar.
What form of government do they have? I would assume that via the name (Exar, forming the root of 'Exarch,') that they are the remnants of the proper government of the sector. Not using cutting-edge Domain ships, but instead aiming for the use of much more economic core-era craft, and making excellent use of them at that. I can run on assumptions all day, though, so a little confirmation here and there would be nice.
What sort of uniforms do they wear? We've already got that simple white and black of the Hegemony's flag officers and such, and the blue/black of the Tri-Tachyon. But what's the regalia of the Exar?
In 'the last hurrah,' what sort of logistics would be necessary to restore order to Exar Secondus? Would fresh military boots on the ground, and a good deal of technical specialists suffice, or is it a complete and utter lost cause?
What sort of attitude do the Exar hold towards Mercenaries? Are they more warm and receptive of the help, or are they cool, and distasteful like the Hegemony?
Are they a proper faction in-and-of of themselves, or are they merely a single independent system?
What is their view of combat and mercenaries as a whole? Have they reverted to a pseudo-feudal view of independent, 'honorable' mercenary bands as almost as viable and respected as a proper military flotilla? (a-la mechwarrior).
Anything you can offer will be much appreciated, and these questions are in regard to my short(tm) story.
