Q: What is going to happen in your plot? A: My plan for this thread is to lay the ground-work for expanding into the Northern-Outer-Rim. It is a vast open space of unclaimed territory, and I feel like we can try and make some plays to claim them. Threads themselves will be DM/Dice roll, but can be open if asked for by you @Narsi, or by community demands. The main goal will be stoking fears of neutral planets of the Mandalorians rising power, and helping the local government to earn favor and be allowed to build bases and outposts on those worlds, as well as open trade with them.
Q: What other players will be a part of this? A: Frankly, I am unsure. I plan for this to be open to the whole faction to take part in. I'm hope a lot of new players join this, to learn the ropes of mission completion if I am honest. But the sign ups will be open to all Old Empire members.
Q: Where are all the places (if more than one) that your plot will be taking place? A: The planets selected are a mix of different worlds in that territory. The planets are Vinsoth, Ithor, Ord Cantell, Mygeeto, Ord Trasi, and finally, Dantooine.
Q: Please provide a basic in-character timeline of what you expect to happen. A: In character, members of the Old Empire will be jumping in a charted Line. Teams will start with Vinsoth, persuading the Chevins to support aiding the Empire with their black market ties. Next, jumping to Ithor, we will convince the local race that the Mandalorians aim to put their Jungles to the Torch, and that we will protect them from such an encroachment in exchange for setting up a base there. Next will come Ord Cantell, same verse but with a smattering of how the Republica couldn't even protect their own leader. Make them think they're siding with the winning side by siding with the Empire. Then comes Mygeeto, convincing the Banking Clans to sign up for the Empire's protection Plan, and let us build a base to defend their assessts. Then, onto Ord Trasi, where we will convince them to set up a joint factory, for which we can use to build up ships for turning this region into a Mini-Empire. Then comes Dantooine, where we present ourselves as heroes by routing some local pirates, and offering them a equal place in the Empire, if they allow us to build a "defensive outpost" on their world, IE, a forward base to invade their planet with.
Q: What do you or your character hope to achieve with this plot? What is the "end-game"? A: Shizuo is looking at this in terms of the Long Game. Taking these worlds gives us a tactical position to begin building up troops away form interfering Mandalorians, while also giving us a position to begin launching raids against the Republica from the North. All in all, it is about expansion, to create more places to raid. After all, the War Machine needs fuel, and these worlds are looking like a mighty fine source.
Q: 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. A: I believe for the Dantooine Mission, I may need an NPC pirate leader, so that we can repel a raid by them. I am perhaps toying with us paying the Pirates in advance to attack, so that we can basically look like heroes by showing up at just the right time. If people don't want to Self-DM, we may need NPC's for the local government leaders.
