Beyond the Farthest Star OOC Resources

[Atlas Drake]

MISSION

• Traverse the Nagai Trade Spine across 150,000 light-years of intergalactic void to colonize the satellite galaxy known as Firefist. Establish safe sites for library vaults and gene banks to preserve civilization against future Dark Ages, then proceed to the habitable moon designated OUTER HAVEN and begin construction on an extra-galactic outpost suitable for long term habitation.

LOCAL CIVILIZATIONS

• Tof Kingdom - Greenish near-humans, martial culture.
• Nagai - Pale near-humans, honor-based culture. Ancestral enemies of the Tofs.
• Maccabree - Squid-like cyborgs who live in vaguely humanoid mechanical suits.
• Faruun - Mysterious but talented shipwrights.
• Sharuka - Blue-gray near-humans, elitist semi-xenophobic culture, totally incompatible technology.
• Dar'tome Mando'ade - Descendants of Mandalorian colonists that have lived in Firefist since the creation of the original New Republic, diverging culturally over the centuries into honorable pirates.

This sounds like fun I could sneak aboard and see the stars.

Sounds good! Check out the available positions in the sign up thread and let me know what interests you (we'll accept stowaways!).

Okay I know its a bit early but I got excited and our first thread is now LIVE! Just as an OOC note to everyone the colored objectives are meant as suggestions, not requirements. Split off into teams, stay on the ship, socialize, do your own thing, chase after the stowaway. Whatever you want! I'll step in from time to time to help the overall mission along but feel free to have your assignments play out however you want them to. We will all roll along with the punches. Also to keep things organized please tag your location or mission.

 

[Veino Garn]

Neat beans.

I will be examining activity in Deep Black Sea over the next few days to determine if its necessary to begin planning the second campaign thread. This would not impact anyone's abilities to continue their storylines, merely provide an additional thread where the Gossamer has slightly jumped ahead in the timeline.

 

[Bella Rimini]

[member="Andan Solo"] - Been two weeks for [member="Vuie 'Srahum"] . Solo, you good to take over and fix that pipe?

 

[Bella Rimini]

[member="Andan Solo"] - Sexy post. I'll give [member="Cinara Vencu"] a day to reply towards our progress then throw you up a post. Cheers mate.

 

[Matt the Radar Tech]

[member="Bella Rimini"] Didn't get that first tag, thankfully Atlas caught me in chat. And sounds good!

 

[Samara Raine]

[member="Bella Rimini"] [member="Andan Solo"]

You two are cute together. Cin is just hanging out in engineering probably taking a sip or two from her flask. When you're ready to let the fuel flow, let her know.

 

[Bella Rimini]

[member="Cinara Vencu"] - Roger that!

As rumors of Deep Black Sea's demise were somewhat exaggerated, I have finally put together a new thread in the campaign. This one is a side-mission, and a relatively low stakes one at that. They are meant to be run alongside the current main thread, which for now remains Deep Black Sea but will likely soon change. For now, we'll do some more focused inter-crew social interaction before facing some conflict in the next chapter of our story! The new thread is called Lower Decks, and its primarily about characters during their off duty hours.

In light of Deep Black Sea's slowdown, I have decided to go ahead and start the next main mission thread in our campaign. Drop me a line here if you can't continue, and we're still semi-recruiting for new people since we've lost a few here and there along the way! Particularly engineers and tactical officers. Anyway the new thread is A Call to Arms, and features both a dedicated science objective (hooray!) and some potential for space battle which I know people were looking forward to.
