Ship Folk: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:07, 10 January 2021

marine-heavy culture(live most of their lives on ships where possible), ship-dwellers have higher status
Slave owners
Rule by strength
Little institutional loyalty--every person for themselves
Organized into a Grand Fleet made of smaller Fleets, each led by an Admiral. 7 total fleets
- 2x Advance Fleets (raiders and explorers)
- 2x Supply Fleets (merchants and civilian supply, also handle much of the land-dwelling)
- 1x Home Fleet (guards of the settled islands, also primary invasion forces)
- 1x Creche Guardians (protect and maintain the creche where new sena'ka are born)
- 1x Reserve Fleet (penal fleet, does scut work)
Cruelty, arrogance, infighting.
Mental discipline (because showing weakness in front of others is a risk for death).
Rational--will surrender rather than die. Inter-fleet squabbles usually end with ransomed losers & payments.
Don't breed fast (breed only in one creche, artificially), so are loath to lose their own people. Reckless with the lives of slaves, however.
Mostly have raided local settlements in the Great Rift area. Recently (~205 AC) established a foothold on Sentinel Island. Admiral I'kor'lai (admiral of the First Advance Fleet) has set out from there and very recently established a beach-head on the Noefran continent. Founded the city of Tarad'am at the southern tip of the Jungle of Fangs.
Racial dance is twerking
