Another perk provided to the entire populace by their mysterious benefactor was a fluent understanding of English, both spoken and written, thus allowing for immediate dialog between peoples formerly separated by entire universes.

Not Gothic?
As an aside, I'm curious if any of the tech bases can tap into stuff like the Ghostwind to bypass the "warp storms fuck everybody up" issue.

No, because English makes more sense to me given the source materials, and it gives a bit of extra defense against comms interception by Imperials.

Also, definitely no access to Ghostwind starting out, that'd be even harder that figuring out Warp travel right now.

Well, we do have the advantage that we are working with jump drives that our people actually understand and know how to modify. Hardening them against the local nastiness will take some work, but on the other hand they may well be working differently enough that they don't have as many problems to begin with.

Though ultimately we're going to have to do a few test jumps with expendable vessels to check.
 
[X] Federal Union - Each faction has limited autonomy, and the federal government has greater direct authority over the laws and internal affairs of member polities, or at least can set formal laws establishing what is and is not allowed for local-level policy. High difficulty.

How Human order Impacted humanity of 40k and Emperor?

Is Alaya active among isot population?
 
[X] Confederal Union - Each faction is largely sovereign within their own territory and internal affairs, but establishes a federal-level organization with representatives from each faction, which will set policy affecting the coalition and its people as a whole and manage foreign affairs, global trade, and collective defense. Though mostly autonomous in their own affairs, members will be expected to adhere to certain shared social/civil values, or risk formal censure. Moderate difficulty.

And as for Chaldea, who do we think will be the faction they work closest with during the coming... ah, conflict?

The Destiny faction. They have a much deeper understanding when it comes to paracausality.

The Warlocks would love to take a look at Mage Craft and everything that Chaldea has seen and done. Especially Osiris!

And while the Nier humanity scienced the SHIT out of magic when their apocalypse happened.....I don't know if the Androids have any data to help with that. If any data survived at all.

I feel like it needs to be at least confederal to really work as a singular powerbase. Then, well, I grew up in a federal system so I just kind of understand it better than a true confederation.

We must present an united front to WH40k's …everything.
I wonder which Warhammer 40k faction we will first encounter. Probably the Orcs, they're everywhere.
It was said that the characters get taken out at the end of their lives. Does that mean those from Macross Frontier have access to blueprints from Macross Delta, because some of them presumably had long lives after the end of Frontier ?
Can the characters get their hands on mimosas ? Are there any decent vintages to be found on the planet's continent ? We'll need lots of alcohol to deal with being in the universe that defined the term grimdark.
Have the other languages the characters knew before arriving been erased and replaced by English, or has English just been added on ? When languages disappear, a lot of the accompanying culture disappear as well.

I meant that we might be able to research an FTL method unaffected by warp storms and such (such as the Webway, Subspace or Ghostwind) eventually. Not that we'd get immediate access.
 
Theoretically, neither Macross nor Kushan drives interacted with the Warp in their home universes, and should be able to work without it here.

It would be a matter of figuring out enough about the local parallel dimensions to find a way around the daemon-infested ones, or maybe of beefing up the weird magicy stuff going on with the Traveler and Chaldea until we can generate or clear out our own dimension.
 
The QM did mention our FTL drives are partially handicapped as the warp and other anomalies affect their effectiveness

We must research how to calibrate the drives to account for this disturbations

Man i wish we got 7 factions instead of 5 i wpuld have added one setting with really reliable ftl (like the mass effect mass drivers,the portals from the rpg mech setting,or halo slip space)
 
Realistically, considering the Awoken used Ascendant Leylines (Destiny's version of a Webway) I could see them being able to pull something similar off in the Warp given time.

The Warp is still capable of affecting the material plane and I figure that bleed over is what's causing FTL complications in this instance.

I have no idea what setting two of these peoples are from, I know Fate and Nier fairly well, I dropped Destiny but I know a bit about it, but idk about anything else.
 
I'm actually on the other end. I've played Homeworld and watched some of Macross, but only have secondhand knowledge of the others.
 
well it will be a fun way to learn across the way,i recommend the destiny wiki is well structured
 
Hmmm... I'll vote this one.

As an aside, I have a very serious question in regards to the Chaldea folk.

Which Ritsuka is the one we have here? Gudao or Gudako?

Im assuming both, and that either we have the one that are twins or the one that can change their gender at will and is very fluid and loose on the concept on gender.

There was that one time where they WEREN'T siblings.

They were best friends in that fic. Don't remember which one tho.

The male one was calm and thoughtful, the female one was crazy and energetic.

Both are masters of sass and snarkiness. Emiya was beyond proud of his Masters.
