The Gods
anybody think it would be cool if we had gods? I think it would be cool, If anybody has played homeworld or homeworld cataclysm you might know that they Kushan/Hiigarans (good guys) have some really cool god names!
Like Qwaar-Jet, the ancient god of pain and Enslavement.
They have some other gods, but these games have big manuals so i cant find them all, but they also have some names of animals on from their planet.
Saarkin Cho is the name they've given to the enemy carriers, but i think it would be cool if we had 'Sarrkin Cho, the protector'. Heeshk, god of medicine. Skaal-Tel, god of war. Skaal-Fa, god of love. Archangel, god of POWER!
I got a few more, just tell me what you think!

I really like this Idea. Are the names directly from homeworld if they are I think they should be changed. It would be really neat if you would develop the gods.

Their all names of ships, but they are only in the manual, they arn't actualy in the game! Qwaar-Jet is the name of the tiidan (bad guys) Heavy Cruisar. I just think the Kushan words are so cool! the extra sylables.
Skaal-tel is the name of a creature, and also the tiidan destroyer. Skaal-fa is the female version of the Tel, and is the tiidan missle destroyer. Heeshk is the support frigate (repair frigate). And Archangle is the Somtaaw (A Tribe of the Kushan/Hiigaran (good guys)) version of the Qwaar-Jet!

I hate it that one time that the Kuun Lan had to rescue the Cal Shto.  That was such an annoying mission, but not as bad as the last one.

Jupiter must rule our heavens or misfortune will be ours.
Mars must favour our armies or Spearmen shall defeat our Tanks.
Venus must... oops sorry, no porn allowed.

This is a democracy, so no state religion! I think disestablishmentarianism, despite the fact that it's a horribly long word, would apply here to describe my veiwpoint.

What better inspiration is needed than the legends of the descendants of 2 boys nursed by a wolf?

You can throw in some myths and legends with gods if you wish, just nothing officially binding for the state. I admit i may have sounded harsh and i apologize. Also, notyoueither is talking about romulus and remus (sp.) the two legendary forefathers of rome who were raised by a wolf.

Hazie,
Roman mythology. It is fertile soil for guiding you. Your muse if you wish (of course, the muses were Greek and were borrowed by the Romans).

MH: Maybe b'cos it's too much like a "real" one.
I have no problem with whoever making up appropriate Gods (or whatever) names, in an unofficial kind of way, maybe reflecting the current state of our culture (e.g. polytheism, monotheism). But I would prefer not to have an official religion of any kind.

Just write it Hazie read some legends on ancient cultures Norse, Roman, American Indian and take it from there.
If I have any say in the devoloping the religion, it will be so wacky the only 'real' cult it might resemble is scientology.
