Brainstorming for the national symbols of Runaway to the Stars. Flags are a human-only thing. Avian polities are represented by written characters, and bug ferret groups use something more like coats of arms. The BFGC (Bug Ferret Galactic Community) crest pictured here is the outermost layer of the bureaucratic matryoshka doll of bug ferret politics. Neither centaursnorscuds have enough globalization to have a “standard” political symbol format (and scuds don’t really have nations, but that’s a different topic).
Luna gained independence post-WW3 and features a tailed spacer hand holding the exhaust plume of a fusion engine like a dart, a symbol of their essential role in transit between Earth and the rest of the inner Solar system. The flag has a vertical format by default, because there is no wind on Luna.
Martian flag not final. I am still deciding the fate of Mars post-WW3 but there is definitely more than one nation on there. The SRoM are the biggest proponent of Martian terraforming, though.
