Matrim - thanks for those descriptions of the affiliations! Concise and instantly evocative! I am going to have a hard time picking just one.
I had been waiting, but apparently my last turn was on-hold with a question for me. My unnamed "investors" have taken note of my successful survey operation, and wish to double down and grant me a 2nd ship. I was given a choice between a small sleek courier or a large-ish freighter. I went for the freighter, thinking I might want to dabble in interstellar trade first, and hold off on the interstellar intrigue.
But this leads me to wonder who these "investors" are, and whether I do in fact owe them any return on their investment. It might just be a narrative device, but I think it would be interesting to have hefty loans to pay off. Good for a backstory.
So I am to wait until a turn-cycle is run before my new ship arrives. Perhaps tomorrow...
