A justifiable attitude, and quite parallel to the development of the 'third
protocol' that defines the Red Crystal - but consider, as I suggested in my
reply to Ken, that it was Sylea, not Vland or Terra, that was the center of
the nascent Third Imperium (and thus not unlikely to impose their own
symbology, just as a fast answer to "we need some sort of consistent
symbology for this").
