Mandalorian Goals

Mandalorian Goals​

...for the time being...​

I think it has become clear over the last month that while we are exceptionally active as a faction, we lack cohesive leadership to provide us with faction wide goals. We've made some headway, taken a couple systems and done countless other things that directly impact the individual success of our characters. This has been amazing given that we have had little to go on other than our faction's write up to give the Mandalorians purpose.

Now that we have each achieved a degree of personal success and done some pretty large scale things to the Imperial Republica even without leadership our focus needs to turn toward the direction of the faction as a whole. While the process of finding a Mandalore through RP is currently ongoing (something that is really cool to see) and should come to fruition soon, I have come up with a short list of goals and outlines for the faction that might stimulate some thoughts for plot and faction movement.


Philosophy

Who are we?

That question will define us going forward. As I see it now, we are little more than a band of raiders. As we expand into the galaxy to forever burn the memory of the Sith from galactic history we must consider who we will be. To burn down all that stands before us would make into exactly what we dispise: The Sith. If we go on a righteous quest to liberate the people of the galaxy from under the thumb of tyranny we would be the Galactic Alliance.

We must be something different.

Mandalorians are fiercely independent. Drawn together by their unified hatred for a single target or by our eclectic mix of beings and cultures. With every world we take from the Sith we must bring that unity forward. With respect for the people that join us as a way to insure that they can live their lives as they choose so long as they are willing to fight for what they believe to be right. To simply conquer or ally ourselves with worlds to control them and abuse their resources is unthinkable. We cannot do to others what was done to us. The slaughter of civilians for terror's sake is what the Sith do. Mandalorians must offer the galaxy something unique to themselves.​

Expansion

Mandalorian space is very small at the moment. We have captured a few worlds, Bandomeeer and Contruum being chief amount them and have mission packs partially completed to capture a couple more. There is one very large pack coming to eat a section of neutral space between the borders of the IR and OE to the galactic west of Mandalorian Space as outlined on the most recent edition of the Galactic Map.

This is very good. We need to take space and grow our numbers. I think following the current direction of plots to take Umbra and the worlds between Mandalore and Kashyyyk; if anyone finds that a certain world in that direction (North of Bothawui and around the IH borders) speaks to them, I encourage you to submit a plot and go for it! We need as much as we can get. Look at existing plots for ideas on the general sort of missions that are successful!​

Upkeep

Mandalore is low on resources and her fleets, small. If taking worlds isn't your thing, perhaps taking ships or critical pieces of tech is. Raid Imperial garrison worlds. Infiltrate their fleets to steal massive assets. Kill and assume the identities of Imperial Commanders to run off with half their fleet.

Whatever you can think of, Mandalore needs. This includes interesting ideas for tech. We are an innovative people who's skill at war is unparalled. Anything we can think of that would give us an advantage in the fight we would use. If you have an idea for an interesting piece of Mandalorian technology bring it forward!​

That's enough for now, I think. While many of us have been doing these things already, having a clear outline might help others. Let me know your thoughts below.
