http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lI'm looking for an
genre-based Earth Fleet to play so I can contribute to
our newest thinly veiled pretense for crossovers, the Inter-Dimensional
Earth Alliance. I don't want Federation, B5 Earth Alliance, Star Blazers,
Robotech, or Starship Troopers, but I'd really like to build a "home team" so
to speak. Anyone got any suggestions before I get insanely desperate and put
my Green Lantern Heroclix on the tabletop against E.E. Doc Smith's Lensmen?

Blake's 7 Federation.

If you've never heard of it, British science fiction series from the late 70s.
Laughable special effects by standards of today (or even then in some cases)
but mostly good plots and characters.

Lots of fairly small ships by most show standards (more than six hundred
according to one episode), emphasising firepower first, reasonable speed, not
much protection. A discussion we had on the list late last year suggested that
for FT they would be big destroyer to cruiser sized, armed with either
Phalon plasma bolts or human P-torps.

And if you've got Star Trek Federation in the IDEA as well, your opponents are
in for a severe shock when they find that *this* Federation takes a "shoot
first, hail later" approach to potential opponents.

cheers,
