Talk:Republic of Fotta

Problems and Suggestions
Okay I see a few problems with this.

1. One hundred years is an incredible and highly unrealistic amount of time that this colony would be independent and the UNSC never tried to reclaim it.

2. Why did the UNSC abandon this world 95 years before the start of the war? There was no war or threat to have to defende the Inner Colonies that you would abandoned an entire world, and only one at that. Even the Insurrection didn't start until the 2490's, 60 years after it says it became independent. During the war makes sense that the UNSC give up the Outer Colonies to defend the Inner Colonies, but this was before any of that.

3. "more than a 100 years of fighting back the covenant", no way. One planet cannot fight the Covenant for a hundred years. If you remember the Outer Colonies fell one after the other against the Covenants overwhelming technology and numbers. . Also they wouldn't send little ol' raids, maybe once a small fleet that might be defeated, but if that didn't work then they'd send far more. Just how many ships can one planet that was abandoned have?

4. Now it says most of them were pirates and that deals were struck. That also brings up a problem, the Covenant would learn of it's location and just smash it with overwhelming force.

This is just a start and i'll come back to be more thorough later. But here are some suggestions to fix this. Have it abandoned early during the war, it chronologically and just plain logically makes more sense. The planet could enforce a communications blackout so that the Covenant don't find them. They could then survive by ambushing any scouts or pirates that come snooping. The constant threat of discovery could result in a permanent state of martial law and military readiness.

Hope this helps.
