Yeppers.
A new recruitment thread will go up to see who's still interested, and clean up the mess.
Start thinking of:
House Words Faction Theme Songs Coat of Arms *Number of Votes you want in the Conclave. (Which means branch families/vassal houses.) Basic Military Doctrine
(*Only real mechanical thing.)

That'll be fun for Cirig (and I might as well make a more complete write-up once the new thread goes up). House Words"Freeeedoooom!""Allllllcohoooool!""Raiiiiiiding those coward planetsiders!"Hm... maybe "Open Sky, Open Hands." I'll have to think about it. Faction Theme SongsBlue MarkChaseAlag NudenCoat of ArmsA running horse, with a bow above it. There are numerous variations used by different officials - whether or not the bow has an arrow nocked, replacing the bow with a laser, rockets attached to the horse's hooves, etc. *Number of Votes you want in the Conclave. (Which means branch families/vassal houses.)One, and that only because the more elite houses can't find any good legal grounds to keep the Khan's family from being considered nobility. Basic Military DoctrineSwarms of fighters and drones work to overwhelm and destroy the defenses of enemy ships while lancers and well-armed frigates move into position to finish them off. Capital ships are few, and mostly used as carriers and anti-cap-ship artillery platforms. The Cirigai prefer to fight in debris fields or densely trafficked areas of space, and make heavy use of jammers and decoys to further disrupt enemy coordination. Despite the general chaos of Cirigai culture, their fleets are remarkably well-organized, with fighters flying in intricate formations in patterns precisely timed to let fire from the heavier ships by them. Boarding is sometimes attempted, though more commonly Cirigai will attempt to disable a ship and either force the crew to evacuate or vent the atmosphere so they can salvage it without having to fight on foot. In atmospheric combat, Cirigai fighters make repeated strafing and bombing runs, culminating with assaults by drop troops and fast ground vehicles when the target is deemed sufficiently weakened. Pitched battles are rare; Cirigai ground troops are trained for skirmishing and harassment, all-out assaults, and nothing in between.

Words: Can't think of any at the moment. Maybe later.
Songs: Look above.
Coat of Arms: The head of a wolf in silver on a green background.
Votes: Gimme a few. Not many, but it's an old and respected house and has enough power to be a factor.
Military Doctrine: The house warfare focuses on mobility and intel. On the defensive, the plan is to know where the enemies are going and concentrating overwhelming firepower against their attacks. Constant harassment aswell. On the offensive, they attack by gathering their very mobile fleets at the last possible moment to give the enemy the least possible warning and attacking lightly defended targets with force, taking the enemy out piecemeal if possible. Harassment works on the offensive aswell. If the enemy has a strong force dug in, it's to be avoided if possible and forced out by threatening something important to them.
As for force composition, very carrier-based with the focus on swarms of small ships of various types from the Varulf shipyards along with large 'fists' of extremely powerful capital ships. The middle-size types are somewhat lacking.
