Lore Update

I've been working on expanding our fantastic lore (thanks L-Dubz!) of late and I'd like some positive or negative feedback on whats been written. I can assure you that as a guild I take your opinion of lore very seriously so take a look at the recruitment thread (first post). If you'd like certain aspects of our guild lore to be added let me know and I'll work on it some more.

I've been debating writing up about the 2 seperate departments (Mercs & Spies & Force Adepts) so if you feel thats important to our guild let me know and I'll get to work.

Short and simple. Actually tells more about the surrounding status of worlds and sides at the time than the guild. Probably good as we're secretive, but what has been said has been common knowledge to all of us for a long time. Mind you, it's nice seeing it on paper and it's good that other people who aren't ourselves know about it. Good job!

As for the two seperate documents, I don't like splitting the guild up like that. I prefer togetherness. Still, you've already set out the different groups and given them their own assets and so they might be deserving of their own fluff. Personally, I don't think it's important and we should just stick with what we have on the table, but that's just me

I agree with Harl's observation that we should show unity in our lore as well as our gameplay, but I wonder if it might be worth mentioning the inclusion of Force Users among the guild? Saying they are part of a different 'department' (or whatever the lore equivalent would be) would most likely be a bad move but currently the lore (as excellent as it is) does tend to give the impression that we are a group made up entirely of mercs and spies and doesn't mention that we also have a small amount of Force Users among us. To me, this bit specifically reads like that:

E.P.O.C.H. Lore wrote:

The E.P.O.C.H Agency were one such group. Unaffiliated toward either faction and under leadership from a renowned yet elusive crime lord the agency used it's mercenary influence to exploit the current state of affairs and remain a legitimate business in the eyes of the Empire. Unbeknownst to the Empire however the agency saw fit to work between both warring civilizations to further provide itself with a respectable client list and the all-important credit.

What I'd recommend is add a sentence in there somewhere saying that The Agency have even recruited Force Users among their number, infiltrating the higher echelons of the Sith....or something.

Does that make sense? I'm recommending adding Force Users to the lore rather than segregating them or making a big deal about it.

Besides this there is nothing much to add, boss. I'm completely agreeing with Harly's argument on why not to mention the FS division and the non-FS division.
