Regarding the NAIS - how could Ian Davion have been an alum when Hanse Davion founded it after his death? :) ClanWolverine101

Graduated from it when it was just NAMA. Cyc 21:27, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
I would suggest a split. The NAMA's being folded into the NAIS is sort of a totally different thing. ClanWolverine101
I disagree. It's the same school, just with a different name. --Scaletail 23:13, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
Fair enough - Would you agree to somehow clarifying that issue in the text? ClanWolverine101 00:04, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Davion Guard - Regional Loyalties

The blurb text on this article notes the Brigade of Guards as a regional unit. It was always my belief that they were drawn from all over the FS. Which is correct, and can we get a reference? ClanWolverine101 13:52, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

FM:FS, pg. 75: "The Royal Brigade recruits the best candidates from the AFFC's schools and academies year after year.... the component units owe allegiance to no particular world or region--only to the Prince and their nation." Seems pretty cut and dried to me that the Davion Guard is a national unit, not a regional one. --Scaletail 00:41, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
Right - so why does the article call the regional? ClanWolverine101 01:07, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
Sorry for any ambiguity, I had grouped all formations (including those on other pages) according to genesis, not their current practices (which change over time). The Davion Brigade of Guards were "nothing more than the personal guard of the Davion family" on New Avalon, but "gained prominence during Reynard Davion's reign as president of the Federated Suns" (FM:FS, pg. 75). This is in stark contrast to the Deneb Light Cavalry, which joined the Federated Suns shortly after the departure of Aleksandr Kerensky (FM:FS, pg. 84). Though the Guards now recruit from all over the FS, the Guards began as a regional militia/retinue.--S.gage 17:47, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Page size

This articles is about half as large as it should be. Something needs to be moved or removed in order to bring that size back down to where it should be. I think there are far too many images here (even on my DSL connection they didn't load right up). I suggest removing the paint schemes from the articles and seeing where that puts it. --Scaletail 00:39, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
