Elite Federation headquarters

Post by phkb »

The Wiki refers to the Elite Federation, or the Federation of Elite Pilots, in relation to the rating system (Harmless, Mostly Harmless, etc). Click here and here for details. I was wondering if this body has a headquarters anywhere. Are there any fictional accounts, or general information relating to where this organisation operates from? Does it actually have a known operation base, or does it do its function without the need of an official base?

I was thinking of establishing a planet in each sector, probably in the GalCenter area, that would be the headquarters of the Elite Federation in that sector. I just didn't want to make something up if something was already made up.

I'm not aware of anything in that regard, but there's a reasonable amount of fiction I've yet to read..
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Raxxla, probably ... ;)

Oolite operates on the "loose canon" method, appropriately enough ... set your organisations where you want them, and make them work the way it pleases you. If someone else has a different idea, they are free to go their own way. And the best and richest canons always contain different angles and opinions, anyway.

I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Looking at the chances to survive until one has made more than 6000 kills.. loking back at the rate but nevertheless occuring shamefull moments when I had to read <press space commander>...
I doubt that in my OOniverse there are more then a handfull of ELITE pilotes that makes it worth to maintain a meeting point somewhere in the 6 galaxies.

Keeping in mind that most 'Elite' pilots got there by basically killing everything in sight, I suspect a meeting between two of them would be more Celebrity Death Match than quiet chat over a pint. :wink:

Thanks for the help, everyone! I'm doing the "lets make something up" route, full-steam ahead!
