Under their Noses

[Vosrik]

• What is going to happen in your plot? Devrim Wolfe along with several other rebels will seek to establish a rebel cell on one of the small moons of Phaeda by taking over a weapons manufacturing plant owned by a criminal organization and then set up a shield generator to protect the cell's headquarters.
  
• What other players will be a part of this? Myself, @Shalken, and @Bran, along with any other GA members who sign up for the missions.
  
• Where are all the places (if more than one) that your plot will be taking place? Phaeda, Denon
  
• Please provide a basic in-character timeline of what you expect to happen.
  • Thread 1: Phaeda is a smuggling haven much like Savareen, but the pirate and criminal organizations are seeking to further control the planet and nearby systems. A mercenary strike force has been hired to kill the trade guild leaders of Phaeda and seize control. The rebels will intercept this strike force to destroy it and prevent the system from falling into complete anarchy. [Ask DM/Dice]
    
  • Thread 2: Many of the citizens who live on the independent planet are refugees and people who have escaped from the Empire, wanting to live in peace. However, the criminals have begun raiding people's homes and bringing armed forces and vehicles into the streets of Phaeda — the people are helpless unless the rebels come to stop this outrage. [Ask DM/Dice]
    
  • Thread 3: Wishing to put an end to the crime syndicate and the raids on trade ships, the rebels will attack the hangar of the pirate base on one of Phaeda's moons. This mission will have the rebels sneaking to the moon and sabotaging the pirates' ships in the hangar bay. [Ask DM/Dice]
    
  • Thread 4: While one group is sabotaging the hangar, it's the job of another squad of rebels to hit the pirates at the top by taking out the three elite leaders of the syndicate. This will allow the rebels to take over the weapons manufacturing plant on the moon for their own purposes.[Ask DM/Dice]
    
  • Thread 5: Although the moon benefits from security through obscurity, the rebels need something to defend their new base from being blasted from orbit. On the ecumenopolis of Denon is a company that manufactures large externally-powered shield generators for the Empire. The database that houses the blueprints is heavily patrolled and securely locked. One strike team of rebels will infiltrate the security station to deactivate the database's locks and shut down all cameras and turrets. [Open PvP]
    
  • Thread 6: While the first team is shutting down the security, the second team of rebels will complete the heist itself. Sneaking inside and taking out guards as they go, it is their job to download the schematics for the shield generator and make it out alive. [Open PvP]
• What do you or your character hope to achieve with this plot? What is the "end-game"? To oust criminal presence from the planet and seize control of a weapons manufacturing plant, establish a cell headquarters on one of the small moons of Phaeda, and acquire and erect a shield generator to protect it.
  
• 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. N/A

Hi @Vosrik,

Good initiative! I'm a little concerned about the location, though. Ojom is Tython's neighbor in the Deep Core. While it's outside of Republica territory, most rebels will have to travel through a lot of Imperial space to reach it and it does risk discovery more than other worlds. That being said, I'll let @Minuteman75 or @Deviant chime into to give Alliance leadership perspective before giving this a final review.

EDIT: You might also need a write-up for the shield generator.

 

[Deviant]

Hey there, @Vosrik!

This plot is stacked, especially when Ojom isn't even in Imperial territory. But I do understand it is damned close by it, as well as the rewards you're asking for here. Precedence compels me to approve this but there are thoughts you should keep in mind: dice and DM will have genuine opposition and be scrutinized upon review.

However, it's in my belief that such action against the Imperial Republica is not something the Alliance has prioritized yet (the risk is extremely high for a single world), and while I don't doubt your efforts, approval from @Minuteman75 is, of course, needed.

EDIT: ninja'd by @Malon but I also agree with his point.

 

[Nefieslab]

I was feeling left out... hey @Vosrik !

I'm going to ask you to remove the parts about the Imperial Republica taking control of a planet please :)

No IR players have made steps to do so, the Faction Leader hasn't signed off on it so please don't write in the actions of another faction just so it suits your plot. Otherwise it sets a very bad precedent - after all, if another player can just decide to push a faction into an invasion what's to stop IR players deciding that the GA will announce itself with an invasion of Coruscant?

Especially when having pirates/mercenaries doing the same thing is both a viable option and a better option

 

[Deviant]

And yet another point is proven.

Hope you don't mind being dogpiled, @Vosrik, lmao.

 

[Vosrik]

Well hello everyone, I wasn't expecting to receive input from every plot mod! :P I understand that its location is very close to Imperial space — that's why I chose it, along with the fact that it is so close to Tython (although IC that's not why Devrim wants to set up shop there).

I have edited to remove all references of Imperial forces in the area, switching opposition to a criminal syndicate instead. I'll of course wait to hear the final verdict from Minuteman if everything else looks okay!

 

[Minuteman75]

Sorry for the late reply but have reviewing this plot and giving it thought. Vosrik I truly admire your initiative but right now the GA is not in a state to conduct a high risk operation so close to the center of Imperial Republica. However I’m not opposed to you modifiying this plot to make a base for your cell elsewhere. I want you and your crew to grow more into your roles so when it is time we will be ready. Also remove the open/PvP tags and replace them with dice/dm.

Here are some worlds/systems to choose as an alternative place to set up and do most of the plot. Just without being so close to the Sith-ruled territories for the time being.

Mon Gazza
Phaeda
Koda Space Station

Alright, so I've revamped the plot so the rebels will be seizing a weapons manufacturing plant on one of the small moons of Phaeda. However, I would like to keep the Open PvP tags for the two missions, if I may, to acquire the blueprints for the shield generator. The rebels aren't directly attacking the Empire in those threads, just stealing blueprints from a third-party manufacturer. If I replaced them with Ask DM/Dice threads, I think I'd need to add more missions as acquiring tech like that would likely need more than just two threads. @Minuteman75

Also, with the new plot system in place, I'm assuming the facility and shield generator will need tech/lore writeups before this plot is approved, correct? @Malon @Nefieslab @Deviant

 

[Minuteman75]

If you insist then. If the Sith from any of the two factions somehow get involved make every effort to disguise of who your characters are exactly. The consequences of possible Sith contact should not be taken lightly.

Understood, for the mission pack I’ll ensure the rebels are wearing local criminal insignia or other such disguise.

Currently - get the lore to us asap :)

Currently - get the lore to us asap :)

I will do so hopefully tonight!

 

[Vosrik]

Took a little longer than expected, but I have done the writeup for the Phaeda Cell Moon Base. Let me know if anything else needs to be added/changed to move forward!

The lore article was approved!
