Federation Commander

We're looking at doing a campaign for FedCom using F&E as the setting and for strategic movement and overall war movements.

Would anyone have any idea how many econ points the WYN would generate just from the rich planets inside the cluster? And I guess they would also generate income from dealing with the different cartels by being a safehaven and from their own raiding.

As far as their ship production, they only produce Aux Cruisers and Aux BC's based on freighter hulls, right? I figure the rest of their fleet would be made up of captured or purchased Kzinti, Lyran or Klingon ships. The Fish WYN ships were not produced until later in the war, correct?

That's an intriguing idea for a game. I can't help you there, but it does sound neat.

I think there's an Orion ship yard in there as well - from memory (I'm in Canada at the moment) the "rent" paid by the Orions was a yearly gift ship. Possession of the shipyard was a major factor in allowing the Usurper to plan his comeback.

There is a discussion thread for the WYN Cluster in Federation and Empire terms over on the BBS.

It might be a while before the WYNs are formally published in F&E; they won't be in the upcoming Minor Empires modules, which will only include the Vudar, the LDR, and the Seltorian Tribunal task force (as opposed to the home galaxy Seltorian Suzerainty, which will have to find another venue at some later point).
