Sol Passcards

[VMSolidus]

This PR adds a variety of new passcards by The Ill-Fated, which are for a large variety of Solarian states.

Hold up there's some issues I still need to correct.

Some of the new sprites remove basically all the unique flavour of the old ones, especially for Silversun, Europa, and Pluto. I cannot really say I'm a fan of these.

going to copypaste my feedback from discord discussion here

I used to be for the standardized solarian passcards until I got deeper into the lore, and I've turned around and am now very pro on all the worlds having their own cards. I feel like there does need to be some consistency-- commonalities in dimensions, materials, data included- but each world having its own card really reinforces that is an Alliance of Soverign [Solarian] Worlds, especially as you leave the Sol System
[...]
All the solarian ones are largely unified in shape and size, but it's not necessarily a single central administration producing them- it's MANY central administrations doing so, according to some basic shared guidelines
[...]
Yeah. Like, not to undermine the quality of the new sprites-- since they're very nice-- i think they take away from what we already have by making them so rigidly uniform

hate to say it but im afraid im not for this one. im not a spriter though so im going purely vibes based here

I would like to add that these sprites have been, mostly, completed for about a year or so. I held back from having them PRed due to feedback similar to what has been expressed above. However, this PR came as a result of the Human Lore Team explicitly requesting these sprites, reviewing them, approving both them and their descriptions, and requesting that I PR them. They have explicitly stated they do not want 'unique', 'flashy' passcards, as they clash with Solarian Lore in regards to the degree of centralization.

I'll admit that my sprites do lose some quirkiness compared to the existing ones they replace, however I think it's important to realize that they're what they are, government issued ID cards. Government issued ID cards are not quirky, memorable, or flashy in the way that some of the existing ones are, particularly Europa. Nor are passcard sprites visible enough for that to be relevant, 99.9% of the time, passcards are attached to clothing and serve as just a piece of background information.

Confirmed, didn't know the details re: the lore team. Thanks for the heads up, approved!

Trialdev spriter here,
I will not weigh in on any side of the uniqueness debate, I will just point out that these passcards are raised quite a bit compared to most if not all other cards, as you can see in the details below:

I'd say they could use with being centered.

They are also somewhat larger outright. In this comparison I overlayed the (I think) currently largest passcard, the Burzsian one, over it, and then a Dominian card, which is of more standard passcard size, over it again. Hopefully it is visible enough:

Second image here

The second one I will not put too much weight into, however. It'd make the flags less detailed if resized too drastically, I'll leave this one to realdev spriters if it is a big deal or not.

Beside these two that'd be all from me. Cool stuff.
