Dom of Nixor

[Asaraa Vaashe]

Hey Guys!

So, we've been talking about it for a while now, but it's time to unveil step one in our long term story we're looking to tell in April and May.

First off, Nixor where an aid convoy has been hit by pirates. on their way to SJO space. This Dom is primarily focused on the rescue of the yacht, and will introduce some of the characters and themes you'll see crop up over the next few doms.

So without further ado, the objectives are below.

Updated objectives below

[SIZE=11pt]Objective 1:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The captured convoy has been located inside a hollowed out asteroid that has been converted into a space station, a clearinghouse where pirates from the surrounding systems can meet to sell loot and information. The fate of the captives is unknown, but the Silver Jedi forces in pursuit need to locate and free any captives they can.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Objective 1.1[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Utilising landing pods and stealth systems the Jedi and Rangers on board the patrol have deployed to the surface of the asteroid, spreading out to gain entry to the bazaar. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Goal: The silver forces must find a way to neutralise the pirates if they can and rescue the captives.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Objective 1.2[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]While the Jedi and Rangers are working to free the hostages the other pirate vessels in the area need to be captured or scattered and any debris gathered for further analysis.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Goal: The Order only deployed light naval forces on its patrol but what forces there are need to engage the pirate forces in system and drive them away.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Objective 2:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]While the majority of the Silver Jedi forces deployed to deal with the pirate threat, a small shuttle containing a diplomatic delegation deploys down to the surface of the planet to meet with the Nixorans. The population is isolationist, but even they need to know what’s happening in their system.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Goals: Meet with the Nixorans to inform them of the goings on in their system and reassure them about the intentions of the SJO patrol that just appears and engaged in combat.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Objective 3:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The Silver Jedi negotiators have convinced the Nixorans to allow the Silver Jedi to deploy an outpost on the moon, a premade garrison pod, to prevent any further such incidents from occurring. The new outpost needs to be settled in and set up before the Silver Jedi forces leave the system so we know of any other pirates using the system. (OOC: This objective is occurring after the negotiations have been completed and the pirate base has been cleared up.)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Goals: Help set up an outpost on the moon of Nixor and connect it back to the Silver Jedi’s communication system.[/SIZE]



[SIZE=11pt]BYOO[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]As usual, if you don’t see an objective you like then feel free to bring your own stories and most importantly have fun! (The Nixorans are a very isolationist population, so while there are many sights on the world to enjoy, such as the site where Obi-wan and a handful of Jedi survivors from order 66 helped hte locals face off against the empire, the population themselves may not engage with you. There might be some fun to be had with that!)[/SIZE]

[Matsu Ike]

I had a big thing to post but going to show some tact to not hurt feelings. These are just the facts and facts trump feelings.

This is the abridged version

THat being said do we have back up objectives? Like we can use a null projector on one of our medical ships to incapacitate the pirates and secure them in a single post. Building an outpost on the moon is as simple as deploying a garrison pod as Nixor in the book never cared about maintaining their structures for thousands of years so it would be better to just replace.

So that is both objectives done in a single post by the same ship. What else do we have to do on a world that dislikes outsiders but doesn't welcome or attack them?

 

[Gianna Aegis]

[member="Asaraa Vaashe"] This looks pretty cool. I might hop in just to check out this storyline.

[member="Matsu Ike"] I think I'm missing something here haha. Tact? Hurt feelings? This is a Dominion plan to let the good times roll. In no way, shape, or form should constructive criticism cause that sort of distress. We're all friends here looking to write a jawsome story. Pirates! Yes! Let's do it!

With that in mind, while certain items could be worked out quickly, and perhaps easily, in the effort of telling a collaborative story with those around us, we should weigh in the fact that just because we can do something doesn't mean we should.

There's also the BYOO option. AKA, stir up some cool stuff on the fly. This is always an option to add more depth to a Dominio/Faction Thread that requires it. At any rate...I'm just a little fish, of zero importance, but that's my two cents.

All great minds and hard work above! Can't wait to see it.

 

[Matsu Ike]

[member="Gianna Aegis"] yes but it is for something else. Still you are not wrong what we can do and what we should do can be very different. However this is Nixor a world that doesn't like or care about outsiders, they won't attack people coming to the planet but they also didn't really welcome them. It was what helped and allowed pirates or smugglers to hide on the world since the people wouldn't be helpful one way or the other. So bringing our own objective to it on world the options are fairly limited without big stretches.

Asaraa had a great idea that would have been fun but ditched it for reasons I am not certain. Cat and Mouse on the world using more wits then advanced technology or numbers. If we really wanted to push the planet and government welcoming the jedi then pointing out that Obi-Wan and a few jedi escaping rhe purge helped them resist the fledgling empire as it was hunting the jedi down could have been done but it wasn't and instead we are facing pirates who have to be fairly special. Whatever makes them turn around thousands of years of isolationist doctrine should be a big surprise but they just seem to be generic.

We aren't scouting the location for a meeting with an unknown group from hutt space that wants us to escort to them people. Without vetting to see if they aren't just a front for slavers or hutts who could exploit and use us to traffic. We aren't near a major hyperspace lane so why would a pirate ship not already fleeing from someone hunting it. THey are waiting to capture the ship, they are bypassing security measures, personnel and security codes with ease. They are either very dangerous and talented or have an inside man giving them all of the information. What we should do with all of those questions raised is not endanger them or the hostages with a dangerous infiltration we should use a non lethal null projector to put them all to sleep for several hours, capture and try to solve the mystery.

That is both what we can do and what we should do. Because there should obviously be more to know. THis is meant to be the beginnings of a mandated story arc but there is nothing to hook the pirates aren't the focus they are the mcguffin but they already come off as more interesting. The planet isn't important it is just the set dressing for the few people on that yacht to the point neither actually are required or needed to be there. We have nothing that works to invest us in wanting to see it besides it is Asa proposing it.

 

[Liuna]

Right.

I'll be there for objective 1

 

[Gianna Aegis]

[member="Matsu Ike"] I see what you're saying...But If Asaraa decided to go in a different direction - I both trust and respect the decision.

It takes a village to run these crazy factions and a little bit of support and flexibility can go a long way into making things a success. There are many visions, many ideas, and it becomes the duty of staff to break them down into workable parts for the time constraints that tend to affect Dominions. I extra, extra respect all the effort that goes into that. From brainstorming to the final product.

Sometimes, I've noticed, things don't work out exactly as we want them to. I know it's not preferred--But it does happen. A lot of this, though, still feels like it could be addressed as the story progresses, if it becomes necessary, or, juicy bits and pieces could be chunked in for a solid BYOO effort. This would allow the freedom of having extra content without needing to force it on anyone.

It's also been a really, really long time since the events on the Wookie. While it's great to draw flavor from it I always try to remember that we're decently in the future to allow a little leeway. Stay true to the story, which this outline does, but toss in your own flavor for that authentic Silver feel.

I believe that this Dominion will do that swimmingly. We inherently expect a lot of work from the individuals that volunteer their time and talent to give us a beautiful place to play to our heart's content and man...I'm so appreciative. Again, good job guys! Can't wait!

 

[WelshPsych]

I'll go Objective 2 with Yuroic and 1.1 with Kat.

 

[Masaru Varga]

Masaru will be there for Objective 1.1. Time for some MGS style infiltration/sabotage!

I think I'll have Reggie there for 1.2.

 

[Asaraa Vaashe]

I'll have Asaraa on objective one, and I can use my NPC account to do fleeting opposition if anyone wants to deal with the pirate fleet.

 

[WolfMortum]

I think I'll leave all the action to the youngin's around here, and head for the spaceport (Objective 2). At the very least, I'm sure House Arenais can provide some further financial support if required.

 

[Celiana]

Objective one plz. I'm down to party with y'all [member="Liuna Ondizi"] and [member="Kat Decoria"]

[Wu Yeoh-Mei]

as promised I'll be there for objective two and diplomatic talks

mostly to set it up so I can post before work

Spoiler

Wu had been able to hear the klaxons blaring... the rangers from the shadow were moving quickly in their guardian armor and combat suits. While she was working, once they had gotten itno the system and identified it there was something to be said for the world and they were going to have to chase after. So she had offered her ship, it was a diplomatic yacht modified for purposes like this with defensive capabilities and speed to get them down to the planet.

THe jedi master stood in the kitchen of her ship though with a smile on her face as she worked. Meeting down on the planet was important but all of the information going across the screen as she was sifting the flour. Next a pinch os salt and hot water.. then cold water before she was mixing it. ntil it was mixed and then she was cooling it. Rolling out the dough and humming to herself.

"I hope you are going to be alright." She said it while looking at what they had here, looking at what was going on the screen with the discovery and their recon ships. The shadow would be needed to attack them, to break enemy ships if they were proving a problem as a massive stealth ship was important and she moved onto the meats and veggies. Making a couple dozen circles on the tray.

Next came the meats themselves, normally one or the other with leeks, spices and sauces but she was looking to appeal to others as she had chopped several of the meats into micro diced cubes. Using the leeks and sauce to bid them there was beef from kashyyyk, pork from mimban and a thinner type of lamb they had gotten from home. All freshly raised with leeks from the garden on her own ship.

She was looking at the meats and everything there as she started portioning it in the circles and started to seal them. Checking and smoothing it all out when the jedi master smiled to herself with the ship traveling towards the planet. From all reports there was not a safe place designated to land. The disrepair of the ports was because they didn't like people so this would require some special tactics.

That tactic as the ship was coming down would be the food, you could ignore a person trying to talk with you, you could dismiss a person... but if someone was asking you if you wanted food. Well she looked at them cooking as the ship was going to get as close to the capital it could and then finding a place to touch down.... it bought her some time... the others who might be coming with her might need time to primp and prepare.

She looked at the flour on her and cleaned herself off standing there as she slid into the princess robes. THe purple kimono of dream and vine silk was beautiful and as had been tested as tough as beskar but smooth and lightweight like phrik. She had her scarf on and it was warm with the power of the force itself. She had her saber on her hip and moved humming around when she got her boots on.

"Ding they are done." She said it and moved getting the meat pies. Xian Bing in Jin for some before laying them out and it was harder to refuse talking if someone offered you a nice warm piece of food. The smile was on her face and this was something she could offer to get a conversation started. She looked at the airlock of the sip with a smile. "No one turns down free food.

 

[WolfMortum]

Following the update, I will be moving on Objective 3 once word is recieved and the go ahead is given to settle upon Nixor's Moon.

 

[Ravenfire]

I will be there and the pirates will have some interesting story because they ain’t just pirates. But wait and see how it plays out. Most importantly have fun all

[member="Matsu Ike"]

So what are our objectives on our first Master Padawan mission/dominion?

 

[Matsu Ike]

[member="Metis Athena Elpis"]

we'll go 1.1, a clearinghouse is dangerous and large usually mobile to prevent being overwhelmed by ships. A stationary one means confidence and large enough forces to either repel any attackers with ships or with forces inside.
