1. What is going to happen in your plot?
Chris is going to lead the inaugural mission of his newly assembled, if small, Mercenary Alliance to steal a customized Corvette from a band of pirates operating in Republic Space, at Bilbringi to be specific. Chris and the members of his Mercenary group will acquire funding, recruit crew and specialists for the ship, as well as scope out the pirates and their base. Once the preparations are done they will assault the pirates and steal their ship, perhaps even the base they made their home in, and make the Corvette their new mobile base of operations for taking jobs across the galaxy.
2. What other players will be a part of this?
Insalius, Taz, Cazar, Narsi, AutoFox, and any others that might want to join in.
3. Where are all the places (if more than one) that your plot will be taking place?
Ord Mantell, Savareen, Alderaan, Chandrila, Bilbringi, Scipio
4. Please provide a basic in-character timeline of what you expect to happen.
5. What do you or your character hope to achieve with this plot? What is the "end-game"?
The Mercenary Alliance gains a customized Corvette as a mobile base, with the Corvette belonging to the assets of the FTG which the Mercenary company is a splinter group of. Each participant will also get one Advanced Tech weapon or armor/upgrade for themselves. This operation will also help put the Mercenary Alliance on the map as being a successful group to hire. Any personnel that doesn't get staffed on the Corvette will be staffed at the small refueling base at Vrogas Vas. We're starting off slow, so if this goes well and we can make a name for ourselves we may try to grow the number of ships we have.
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.
If the participants can find a DM for their thread, then it can be DM'd. If not, then the threads will be dice rolled. I plan to use the harder dice rolling rules for my threads, if the participants agree to it, and all but one of the threads in this plot will be with this level of threat. AutoFox and I will be working on the Corvette writeup, though if this needs to wait for approval for that ship to be looked at, then we can wait.

4. Please provide a basic in-character timeline of what you expect to happen.
- Show me the Muuns [DM/Dice Roll] - Despite the moderate funds Chris has, he knows he needs more funding for future operations than what he has. He tasks two members of his Alliance to go secure funding from the Muuns and the Banking Clan on Scipio. This will be a mainly diplomatic mission.
- From the Ashes of House Harlow [DM/Dice Roll] - After the assassination of Albrecht Harlow, Chris offers to his grand-uncle Cidney to take some non-combat and academic members of the House who hadn't left the city yet to safety, which in exchange some of those teachers would help instruct officers for the Alliance. As they prepare to leave the planet Chris and another have to fend off an attack by opportunistic independent parties trying to curry favor by killing anyone from House Harlow. Kalendros will join the crew as a NPC.
- Ardor [DM/Dice Roll] - Needing an Executive Officer for his upcoming acquisition, Chris heads to Chandrila after hearing about a talented officer who is being discriminated against due to being non-human. Chris must try to convince the male to join his growing group and become his XO. Shistavanen XO will join the crew as a NPC.
- Savareen Showdown [DM/Dice Roll] - Chris and Eice are called by Dario McGivney to finally finish off the pirates threatening his home after their initial meeting some time ago. During this operation the two will try to convince the man to leave Blackrow and join their group instead. Dario McGivney will join the crew as a NPC.
- Staffing Solutions [DM/Dice Roll] - Chris goes to recruit some personnel on Ord Mantell to join the Alliance's crew, needing all sorts of crew still for the upcoming acquisition. One of these potential members being the brother to Cregan Doldan, thought lost in the Unknown Regions long ago, the two must successfully pitch the benefits of joining to acquire the crew they need for their ship. Rickard Doldan will join the crew as a NPC.
- Hyperion [DM/Dice Roll] - Chris goes to the Order of Hyperion's base on Vrogas Vas to convince them, as the son of their Founder, to help fund their growing company and to use the refueling station as a base. A diplomatic thread, they must convince the leader of the Order to allow their mining operation to help out.
- Metal Gear [DM/Dice Roll] - Some Alliance members hire Victor Crenshaw and his associates to help capture some of the pirates in the band that owns the Corvette. The intent is to interrogate them for all the knowledge they have of the base. Victor Crenshaw, Pain Train, and Gravyn Wexler will join the crew as NPCs.
- Phantom Pain [DM/Dice Roll] - Chris and some Alliance members sneak to the outside of the base at Bilbringi to plant a device on the Comm network that would block communications when activated. They will either successfully stealth in and complete their mission or be forced to deal with a patrol.
- Ground Zeroes [DM/Dice Roll] - Another group of Alliance members will sneak to the air intake part of the base to prepare a sleeping gas to be filtered through the facility. They will also need to potentially deal with a patrol of pirates.
- Rise of the Alliance [DM/Dice Roll] - Chris and the Alliance will assault the pirate base following the successful jamming of the communications arrays and the knockout of most of the base personnel due to the gas. Mopping up stragglers and imprisoning the asleep pirates, they secure the Corvette along with a small cache of weapons and the engineers that had been forced to upgrade and maintain the ship.
- Victory [Ask] - Chris and the Alliance celebrate their victory on their new ship, having a small party that helps bonds them together with their crew. Celebratory thread.
