- Definitely not Starfleet - they've already got two, and both have none standard game text.

- what Ben said - work from the mechanic first, not the icon (and even if it comes up Starfleet, put a line through it, and go back to the drawing board).

Counterpoint:

But yeah - I think added gametext on a HQ (and missions in general) was always a bad idea.

Define what "part-species" means (basically a way to note personnel like Spock as "part-Human" and "part-Vulcan", and so on) and make Vulcan as an HQ for Vulcans and part-Vulcans. (Inspired, of course, by 1E's Kolinahr.)

I honestly believe that "who?" is the wrong question.

I think it all comes down to what cool, affiliation specific mechanic can we come up with and then the question will answer itself.

This.

I can come up with some possibilities for the affiliations in the poll. But we shouldn't just be ticking the "got a new HQ" box. The mechanics have to come first.

I have thought a or to encourage playing only those cards with perhaps could be interesting. Of course , or would always be welcomed with a good game mechanic not on the but for the affiliation. Would love a home world!
