In addition to that development of story, I alwayys wanted to either read or see the (fictional) history of the RT fleet at large. I don't mean the members of the quorum or the occasional convicts, but of the ordinary people caught up in the caravan across the stars. Those are the people I thought would always be the unreported but most interesting members of the twelve colonies.
We always hear about the Nathan Longs or William Shermans in the pioneer epics but we never read or hear about the Samuel Elliotts or the Thomas Brazaeles.

You never know how close, General William Tecumseh Sherman came to being scalped, until you learned the history of the Kiowas, do you?
