CP - Patch Over [COMPLETED]

[Darasuum]

Patch Over
1. What is going to happen in your plot?

Illegal work has its risk but because of it clients are for such work usually pay pretty well. Sometimes crimes committed against other criminals however will go overlooked by law enforcement. As such , Burkhart is going to take over an opposing smuggling group's business and in part absorb them into his own business.

2. What other players will be a part of this?

@Darasuum
@GABA
@Raydo

3. Where are all the places (if more than one) that your plot will be taking place?

Taris
Corsin

4. Please provide a basic in-character timeline of what you expect to happen.

Thread 1 : Learning your enemies' strengths and weakness are important before going into battle. A complacent smuggler and two of his friends have ended up partying on Taris in the Red Light district. Subdue them when they have their guard down and interrogate them for any information. Preferably keep them alive to possibly be used as hostages later if need be.

Thread 2 : While we don't want to take over the pirate's job we still will need to deal with them once the trade route becomes dominated by our presence. Lure a few of the pirates out in one of the many systems along the Mandalorian Road. Make sure that they are able to get the word out and make sure that we are the one's known in the underworld.

Thread 3 : The trip has to be worth it. There would be no point in us going through the effort of overtaking the primary smuggling ring on the Mandalorian Road if we did not have clients and work to pass back and forth. So we will need to make contact with a significant buyer of either current stock or possible future goods. Bonus points if they can assist us with taking on the rival smuggler group.

Thread 4 : No hardy, self respecting smuggler, is just going to move out of their normal territory with out a fight. What we're taking on are not the types of smugglers that come and go across the galaxy, they cultivate a territory and while they have not expanded far they are protective. We will need to assault their club house. They have become complacent but still pose a threat, easily outnumbering us. If we can capture and refrain from killing or destroying too much then that is what we will get to keep and reuse for our own purposes.


5. What do you or your character hope to achieve with this plot? What is the "end-game"?

To establish a stop at the end of the Mandalorian Road on Corsin that is a secondary base of operations outside of Mandalore's inner space. This stop will be a waypoint and a stepping stone for Burkhart's future smuggling operation. This will take the form of Burkhart securing the club house and starting to plant his presence along the Mandalorian Road. (i'll submit a garage writeup for this soon)

6. Do you need any involvement of canon NPCs or faction leaders to be DMed by a staff member? If so, please detail who/what and for what purpose.
No

Hey @Darasuum

So I've put this into pending because got a few things that need clarifying really;

• One thing I keep telling you about that needs clarifying; What's the opposition? You've outlined the IC opposition and that's great but nothing about if it's going to be done via dice or DM or even open PVP so please just clear that up for me
• Please clarify your end game a bit more;
  • "Base of operations outside of Mandalore" - for who? For just your character? For you and GABA and Raydo? Remember that if it's an organisation it needs to follow those rules..
  • "absorb the assets for smuggling to the surrounding systems" - Please clarify what you mean by this, because right now it reads as though you believe having a small clubhouse on one planet would mean that you would automatically absorb the smuggling assets of the surrounding area. That area between Corsin and Mandalore encompassing at least 6 planets including Corsin - this would be outside of your power as a rank 1, let alone from a plot with 4 threads. I can see this plot making you a big player on either Corsin or Taris as it stands, but not both and definitely not for 6 planets.

"Opposition will be done with dice" used to just be copied and pasted in my workshops, it must have been lost or removed. oops.

I don't want to have Burkhart become the monopoly smuggler in those parts. I'll rework the description of the end game.
Basically taking on a rival smuggling ring won't instantly secure him complete control of the area. There are other smuggling rings and there will continue to be various opposition. This is just him getting his foot in the door and becoming a player in the smuggling market of the area. Is that okay? The club house is a 'home away from home' so that he (and anyone he chooses) has a rest stop between smuggling runs.

With the stated amount of opposition it's fine for him to become a major player in the smuggling scene on one planet or a very, very, minor player in the smuggling scenes of all of the planets with slightly more influence on the planet his base is on

I don't think it's realistic to say he would dominate on one planet. He couldn't realistically keep up that reputation for very long so I think a minor player along the Mandalorian Road people just hear about him a bit and are doing a bit of business here and there. He's trying to become people's 'go-to' smuggler and this is just the first step.

It'll be very minor I'll warn you now Dara - no referencing that people would have heard of him cus they likely would just know him as "some guy who does this" at this stage but if that's cool with you I'll approve it

If I still get the club house that's fine by me.
