Three months in and we have a robust cast of characters! Along with multiple current events and plots on-going, Mounts are being introduced to the system and a new planet will open up on the grid with a shorter sub-plot as an introduction.
But players aren’t just limited to what planets are listed in ‘Locations’. It is a living grid that is effected by the playerbase. Things like the Cron Drift Asteroid Belt has been added due to the actions of the Partisans, for example. The galaxy is your playground.
Here are just some of the current events and still many more to come!
Changing of the Guard - Tavren Pashe, the founder and leader of the Coalition, has been confirmed MIA presumed KIA. With his last act as a freedom fighter taking place on Beldarone, the Coalition and their allies are facing a mystery of what happened to him, why, and if they can fix what is broken. But with the Beldaroni being naturally isolationist, progress has been slow and stymied.
Rising Tensions - After numerous counter-attacks against Imperial movement on Daiyu, the Partisans have successfully moved the needle when it comes to sabotage and aggression. Several missions have put a dent in the Empire’s grip on Daiyu, but have also brought on unwanted attention and scrutiny. They are currently assembling a hidden asteroid base in the Cron Drift, preparing to further escalate the battlefronts with stolen and salvaged starfighters in order to take their efforts to the skies and beyond Daiyu itself.
The Houses Always Win - On Beldarone, the ruling Houses each have a stake in the level of Imperial occupation. For House Draugvist, it has proven to be lucrative so long as the Empire doesn’t go digging too deeply. An impending audit risks digging up an illegal smuggling ring of ionite, and Talon Karrde has seized on the opportunity for unknown reasons. He has hired on a group of agents tasked with heading the audit off at the pass and steering blame away from House Draugvist. The reward for such promises to be worth it’s weight in illegal goods.
Daiyu Politics - Nils Creville has been the Imperial-installed governor of Daiyu since the planet’s seizure soon after the formation of the Empire. However, with the recent uptick of resentment and violent ‘protests’ (read: attacks) from the populace, Moff Pilter has installed a Deputy Governor to rein it all in. This man is an unknown player in Daiyu’s political theater, and his appearance spells trouble for those who oppose the Empire… and for Nils’s job security.
Imperial Outpost - In further response to the increase of civilian unrest and seditious behaviors, Moff Pilter (overseer of the Hocatar Sector) has petitioned for a bolstering of Imperial forces at the garrison in Nevaris. Further, the construction of an outpost outside of Kessivar has been ordered to be built. This outpost, if allowed to be constructed, will tighten the Empire’s grip on the planet. But to attack the construction or to sabotage its progress is likely to make waves, as well.
