I'm planning an influence storyline where a group of four members of the SE will attempt to gain some influence within the Core System, more specifically in Chandrila. Taking into consideration the secret state of the SE still, it will have to remain under wraps until a secure foothold in the planet's government can be ensured. The short version of this will be that first contact between the SE and an ambitious candidate for a local town, with the end goal being to solidify the candidate's position as representative of the local government. This will take place over multiple threads to ensure a realistic rise to power (we don't want to rush it to the top for the sake of influence and disregarding the story-telling).
The longer version is below.

@Ventrik Storm will be forming a squad of himself and three others (A couple of missions may require an extra hand) to meet a government contact on Chandrila to establish a foothold in the Core worlds. The threads so far will contain the following:

1. Somebody Think of the Children (Chandrila):
Ventrik meets up with the squad after being contacted by the local candidate, who they meet privately in his home. He requests their assistance, they will provide him with the means to swiftly rise in the ranks of Chandrilan politics, in return, he will assist them in gaining and spreading influence of their own throughout the planet. For their first mission, the squad will be sent to the local school, which so happens to be owned by one of the other two local oppositions. They are to maintain cover as private security under the employ of their contractor, dropping off his child to school following recent threats of kidnappers in the area. Shortly after, the school will be attacked by hired thugs who will be disguised as soldiers belonging to the third local candidate. The objective of the mission is to allow the hired thugs to infiltrate the school, locate a specific classroom containing children from notable families of the town, and exit the premises before the group intercepts and eliminates them. The desired outcome will be to frame one opposition candidate for the attack on the school while placing the other opposition leader in poor standing with the local nobility. This will also promote the local candidate within the community as his "security" will be the ones saving (or attempting to save) the poor children.

Fail Conditions for the mission:
The true identities of the SE members are discovered.
The candidate's involvement in the operation is revealed.
Any of the SE members become imprisoned (not necessarily in jail, being detained will also be counted) for longer than two of their own turns (after the RP goes through every other character twice).
Any of the hired thugs survive the encounter.

2. An Eye for an Eye (Chandrila):
The local candidate contacts the squad once again, this time he requires a more explosive touch. Tensions between the other two opposing leaders are rising rapidly after the incident at the school and the local candidate wishes to speed up the process. The mission will be to infiltrate and destroy a manufacturing warehouse of the opposing candidate who was framed in the previous mission. The desired outcome will be to trick the opposing candidate into thinking that this is retaliation from the other opposition after the attack on his school. It is imperative that enough damage is caused to severely impact the production of the warehouse and halt any income produced by it.

Fail Conditions for the mission:
The true identities of the SE members are discovered.
The candidate's involvement in the operation is revealed.
Any of the SE members become imprisoned for longer than two of their own turns.
Not enough damage is caused to the warehouse.

3. Two Birds - One Stone (Chandrila):
The local candidate contacts the squad for the third time. Open conflict has broken out in the town as the two opposing leaders are at each others' throats, it is time to implement the final stage of their mission. The squad will be split up into two groups of two (or two groups of three if enough interest is shown) and each will be targetting one of the opposing candidates. The mission here is to successfully apprehend the two targets in an effort to cease hostilities in the name of the local candidate. Some of the local candidate's own forces will assist by engaging in the more public fighting as a distraction while both groups approach their targets. The most desired result here is the capture of both candidates alive, however, if this provides to be too difficult the alternative will be acceptable.

Fail Conditions for the mission:
The true identities of the SE members are discovered.
Any of the SE members become imprisoned for longer than two of their own turns.
