Draft History proposal (long and open to feedback)

Okay some housekeeping:

I am adapting my Starguard based campaign for DS2/FT (okay I'll need
Stargrunt 2 too - sigh) use and inclusion to the 'Pedia.  This will be
two different campaigns from the same root - one Starguard compatible,
one GZG compatible. All the aliens from the root campaign are (?) not present
in the GZG campaign scenario generator... at least currently
<grin>.

This is the proposal for the GZG compatible campaign.

PHR = People's Holy Republic (Totally independent - dumped by
ESU/IC/Japan)
NPC = Native People's Circle (NAC ties, NAC emigrants) RRR = Royal Russian
Republic (internally autonomous colony of the RH) IJK = Incorporated Japanese
Kingdom ("Family Corporate" power from Japan)
SAI = South Asian Imperium (S/SE Asian transplants)
NEA = New European Association (NAC ties) LLP = League of Latino Peoples (NAC
ties, LLAR emigrants included) UNSC = UN Space Command

Needed - two planet systems (two star systems close together)

1. Cotu: Includes Cotu (the planet - see below - around Cotu the star),
Red Dawn a planet around same star that is dry, and cool. Also a significant
moon around Cotu the planet. Cotu is significantly low elevation over most of
the planet, has very large regions of swamps, marsh and seasonally inundated
terrain; one significant mountain range (similar to the Cascades in the
Pacific North West part of the USA), and several very large islands off the
coast of the largest continent (1x to 2x the size of Newfoundland) and several
regions similar to South China Sea area (large islands like Java) in
geography.

2. New Nanye'hi (translates as Spirit People and was Cherokee name of the
last pre-removal, to my knowledge, Beloved Woman also known as Nancy
Ward) - the main planet of the second system and the secondary planet
Chinook, aka as Coacoochee, (Seminole leader name translates as Wild Cat) by
NPC.
