Pages: Vulpkanin - Paradise Station Wiki

Union of Soviet Socialist Planets - Paradise Station Wiki

Description of your suggestion or issue report:

Since these pages pertain to lore, I'd like to make a few suggestions.

First, the USSP page talks about the Vulpkanin citizens on Herars III. The Vulpkanin page only references two groups outside the Vazzend system; the nomadic Kelebunztim and the immigrant population in Sol. Just to be consistent, I think the Vulpkanin page should reference the Vulpkanin on Herars III as well.

Second, the quote 

Quote

“I'm a patriot first, communist second. Nothing will change that.”

- Pyemi Vedenin, first official Chairman of the Presidium and veteran of the Cygni Rebellion.

I think it's a little underwhelming. 

For instance, let's compare it to Malfoy Ames' quote:

Quote

"It is not within the rights of any leader to put onto its people oppression, austerity, and slavery. We, all those who found the Presidium, swear to put our people before ourselves, to cherish every citizen's rights like they would their own sons, and to protect our beliefs with our lives. Any less would be cowardice."

- Sovereignty and the Intergalactic Obligations of Socialist Planets, Malfoy Ames, Page 49.

And Ames is practically a traitor!

So, my suggestion is to simply make the first quote longer, and luckily there's a simple way to do that. The first quote is very likely inspired by Ho Chi Minh's quote, "Patriotism first, not yet communism." However, the whole expert of that quote could simply be used as the framework.

Quote

"At first, patriotism, not yet communism, led me to have confidence in Lenin, in the Third International. Step by step, along the struggle, by studying Marxism-Leninism parallel with participation in practical activities, I gradually came upon the fact that only socialism and communism can liberate the oppressed nations and the working people throughout the world from slavery."

It even has a written work that can be attributed to like Malfoy's quote, The Path Which Led Me to Leninism. You could just change it to something like -The Path Which Led Me to Solar Socialism, Pyemi Vedinin.
