The Church of Scotland is the Kirk--that's just how it's referred to in Scots. Covenanter tech aesthetic is mostly up to you, the only real set thing is that they have a lot of mechs

I could've sworn somewhere I read they were a family. Well anyway, I like that I still have my mechs, the question is, are they still the best mechs?

not really? and anyway, its not speed that matters for space travel but acceleration. If you can manage a consistent gee, you're doing very well.

It's 300 times the speed of sound. It's not Astronomically very fast, no, but on a planetary scale it is pretty fast.

My concern is that it'll lead to some wonky-ass stuff. Though, this is all probably paranoia, and if there is a problem, we can always place cap on ship speeds in-atmosphere.

Superspeed in atmosphere is rather self-limiting, via friction...
 
Like, consider the speeds and masses of asteroids, and yet how little surface damage they actually do, comparitively. We are not going to be moving anything that heavy around, and probably relatively slower as well.
 
I advise you to play Kerbal Space Program, then remember that in this setting we'd probably just fiat things as "strategic speed" and "your mans get there in one clock tick."
 
"how did you get here????"

"the same way anyone gets anywhere, with my space ship with plasma drives"

"but how fast do they go"

"iunno man but they get us from a to b in relevant time"

"wat this makes no sense"

"buddy did you miss the part where horrible worm cultists overran earth, the actual devil is still squatting on cyprus, and the perfidious dutch shot themselves at the moon with giant cannons and not only survived, but thrived?????"

C0DA's that apocryphal TES paralore that Michael Kirkbride came up with that involves Nirn becoming destroyed or uninhabitable anyway, Khajiits and Dark Elves fleeing to Masser and Secunda and men and Altmer being undone and wiped out of conceivability by a Numidium that sieges Alinor from the Dawn Era to the Fifth Era. Lots of eldritch metaphysical and kind of magitechnological stuff, OSS reminds me of it a bit, especially Iran (my baby. Glad to know my idea of turning them into half-djinn monsters back in the first game went this far) and the Kalmar Union.
