Since we've settled on our target, I figured it made since to do a thread focused on developing the objectives for the dominion. And I wasn't certain if we had anyone working on a draft for this yet or not, so I figured I'd give it a shot.

A few references:
Black Tie Syndicate claim to Kessel (April 2016): [ x ]
Hutt Cartel mining of Kessel (August 2015): [ x ]
Wookieepedia Article: [ x ]
"Little Kessel" (Nearby Planet): [ x ]

Other planets in the hex:
Kubindi: [ x ]
Homeworld of the Kubaz race.

Honoghr: [ x ]
Homeworld of the Noghri race.

Fwillsving : [ x ]
Smuggler's den, repair depot, and safehouse along the Kessel Run.

+ - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - +​

Based on the above, here are a few possible objectives that I could see. Please feel free to discuss which, if any, you think would be the most viable for a good story.

Objective: "Drugs Are Bad, Mm'kay?" (Possible PvP)
The Antarian Rangers, Coalition Fleet, Silver Jedi, and friends take a stand in the War on Spice by attacking it at the source of one of its largest and most successful production facilities. Whether its arresting the miners, killing Glitterstim spiders, or taking a flamethrower to the glitter webs (or doing what you can to salvage the harvest for sale at much increased prices!), do what you can to make your mark.

Objective: "Big Trouble in Little Kessel" (Adventure PvE)
A Primeval cult has abducted a Jedi Padawan with green eyes, for use in a Sith ritual which they believe will unleash a Dark Side Nexus and welcome the god Balagoth into our realm. Stop them, save the princess padawan, save the universe.

Objective: "Remembering the War Dead" (Conclave on Kessel) (Jedi Objective)
863 years ago, a group of Jedi survivors banded together to make their last stand against Order 66 and the Galactic Empire. Light a memorial candle, place a wreath, or meditate upon the memories of those who have gone before.

Objective: "Negotiations, Naivetes, and Noghri... oh my!" (Diplomacy)
Convince members of the Honogr government or people the economic and political advantages of setting aside their neutrality and joining the Coalition.

Objective: "In Fwillsving" (Space-based combat)
The Coalition Fleet and Antarian Rangers have mobilized to secure the hyperlanes of the Kessel Sector, in which Fwillsving is akin to a cockroach nest. Clear out the pirates, arrest the smugglers, and restore law and order.

Objective: Bring Your Own Objective
Because I'm terrible at doing this during dominions.

​

Obviously, these are just some of my own crackpot ideas. Of which, I'm certain they could be made better.

I think we should pick three, no more than four, objectives to focus on for a good, concerted story.

Discuss.

 

[Sor-Jan Xantha]

And because I somehow didn't see this, here are [member="Charlyra Araano"]'s draft objectives.

Sorry, they were buried in the dom discussion and I just completely overlooked them. >_<

+ - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - +​

​

And if we've got nothing from the ST after that there's the hex right behind Kessel were we could T2 Dom as well, just to start closing the gaps and solidify the map a little more. The main focus it seems so far by the above consensus is Kessel, so if we go down into Kessel here's what I'm seeing so far, and this is so far from what I'm reading right now.


Objective 1: Early Defense Systems - After a failed invasion of Triumvirate held Ruusan the Coalition braces for a counter attack. Starting the establishment of satellites, and sensors in both hyper and real space. In the hopes that an early warning system would allow the Coalition a 'heads-up' on incoming assaults.

Objective 2:Into the Hornet's Nest -In the wake of the Coalition's failed invasion, cultists, criminals, and corrupt officials on Kessel have to bear. Encouraged with the idea that the Coalition would be licking its wounds, rogue Sith has gathered the already dark cultist inhabiting the area and begun to put them to use. Inflicting a rabies-like disease that has begun to spread throughout the planet's wildlife and has started to infect the humanoid population, creating chaos as it begins to spread. The outbursts of such an aggressive disease draw the attention of the Coalition's healers, both Jedi and non-Jedi alike in an attempt to find a cure for the disease.


Objective 3: Avarice No More - While the healers of the Coalition work to both stop and cure the disease, the Coalition's more aggressive arm will have to deal with Hutts and pirates, who seem to enjoy the benefits of the outbreak. Profiting from the paranoid and the bloodthirsty, others profit from the weak and the poor. The Coalition will hear no more of it and surmount their own unique brand of operation to deal with the problem in the hopes of dealing with both the Hutts and the pirates once and for all.


Objective 4: They're Hippies, man. - A rabies-like disease, war, and poverty mix within Kessel's system. Leaves much to be done for those who are not busy with stopping the disease, curing it or dealing with the criminal scum that are the pirates and the hutts. Whether they're Jedi or not, the cries for help throughout the system can be heard, cries that the Coalition will answer.


1 = Team Engineers / Bypass the Compressor! 2 = Team Healers / Cure it all, cure it all. 3 = Team Police / Bash a few faces and smash a few skulls. 4 = Team Hippie / Bring your own objective, do your own thing. ------- It's just a general outline, of ideas that the rest of you have given, but most certainly credit to Nima Tann, Audren Sykes, and Boo Chiyo for putting the ideas out there!

[member="Sor-Jan Xantha"], looks beautiful man, looks beautiful - but yeah we'll have to find a way to super-condense our stories and objectives without losing all of our delicious flavor, yo.

 

[Orihime Ike]

I am liking it and hmm need my bestie [member="Sorel Crieff"] and [member="Joza Perl"].... I'll bribe her to adventure with snack cakes. [member="Boo Chiyo"] should also be there for us since Zak would be running away let we try and paint hi nail and headtails again.

 

[Rasu Gan]

All looks good. Just to clarify for others or perhaps I missed it but which tier dom would this be? Tier 3 I'm assuming from the range of objectives am I right?

Sorry guys all still new to the Dominion rules now having been away for a bit.

If that's the case then I would suggest we perhaps split the objectives to planets, leaving one goal per planet. That way we can have a clear mission and clear location but can spread it out across continents/areas?

With this said, I would suggest the objectives of:

Objective: "Drugs Are Bad, Mm'kay?" (Possible PvP) The Antarian Rangers, Coalition Fleet, Silver Jedi, and friends take a stand in the War on Spice by attacking it at the source of one of its largest and most successful production facilities. Whether its arresting the miners, killing Glitterstim spiders, or taking a flamethrower to the glitter webs (or doing what you can to salvage the harvest for sale at much increased prices!), do what you can to make your mark.

That way its a quite a large one that can be broken up when writing the Dom, with different sub-goals per group if this occurs. This could also be morphed with Charlya's objectives (Objective 3 I believe) of the officials gathering to take advantage of SSC's weakened state? EDIT: I've read this wrong it seems but anywho could still work

Objective 1: Early Defense Systems - After a failed invasion of Triumvirate held Ruusan the Coalition braces for a counter attack. Starting the establishment of satellites, and sensors in both hyper and real space. In the hopes that an early warning system would allow the Coalition a 'heads-up' on incoming assaults.

Another more slower paced objective that could be based across the system both in space and on land???? Also I think it's a cool link to the invasion where there's a chance of reflection and building of stories again


Either or I think we have the two overall stories of the "War against Spice" and this "Epidemic Outbreak." I like the sound of both themes but I think to narrow down the objectives perhaps we have to pick one theme or at least limit one theme to a planet and have each as a separate objective.


Hope that has made sense

 

[Sor-Jan Xantha]

With the input of the ever lovely [member="Rasu Gan"], here's a revision mixing some of my ideas with those [member="Charlyra Araano"].

And, yes, since we're going for Tier III (all the planets of the hex), I'm trying to come up with objectives that give us a story demonstrating some Coalition control or administration of the various planets.

Objective: "Into The Hornet's Nest" (Possible PvP) (Kessel)
The Coalition's more aggressive arm will have to deal with Hutts and pirates, who have been profiting from the paranoid and the bloodthirsty, the weak and the poor. The Coalition will hear no more of it and surmount their own unique brand of operation to deal with the problem in the hopes of dealing with both the Hutts and the pirates once and for all. The Antarian Rangers, Coalition Fleet, Silver Jedi, and friends take a stand in the War on Spice by attacking it at the source of one of its largest and most successful production facilities. Whether its arresting the miners, killing Glitterstim spiders, or taking a flamethrower to the glitter webs (or doing what you can to salvage the harvest for sale at much increased prices!), do what you can to make your mark.

Objective 2: "Big Trouble in Little Kessel" (Healer-themed Adventure PvE) (Kessel)
In the wake of the Coalition's failed invasion, cultists, criminals, and corrupt officials on Kessel have to bear. Encouraged with the idea that the Coalition would be licking its wounds, a Primeval cult has abducted a Jedi Padawan with green eyes, for use in a ritual which they believe will unleash a Dark Side Nexus and welcome the god Balagoth into our realm. In pursuit, agents of the Coalition have discovered the cultists experiments with Sith Alchemy have Inflicted a rabies-like disease that has begun to spread throughout the planet's wildlife and has started to infect the humanoid population, creating chaos as it begins to spread. The outbursts of such an aggressive disease draw the attention of the Coalition's healers, both Jedi and non-Jedi alike in an attempt to find a cure for the disease.

Objective 3: "To Mend and Defend" (Planetary Defense Development) (Fwillsving)
After a failed invasion of Triumvirate held Ruusan the Coalition braces for a counter attack. Starting the establishment of satellites, and sensors in both hyper and real space, n the hopes that an early warning system would allow the Coalition a 'heads-up' on incoming assaults. Now, the Coalition Fleet and Antarian Rangers have mobilized to secure the hyperlanes of the Kessel Sector, in which Fwillsving is akin to a cockroach nest. Clear out the pirates, arrest the smugglers, and restore law and order.

Objective 4: "Negotiations, Naivetes, and Noghri... oh my!" (Diplomacy) (Honogr)
Convince members of the Honogr government or people the economic and political advantages of setting aside their neutrality and joining the Coalition.

Objective 5: Bring Your Own Objective
A rabies-like disease, war, and poverty mix within Kessel's system. Piracy threatens the security of the Coalition. Honogr must determine it's place in the current galactic economy. There are these, and many other stories to be told. Whether they're Jedi or not, the cries for help throughout the sector can be heard, cries that the Coalition will answer.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

 

[Ria Misrani]

[member="Rasu Gan"], I worked from the proposal that [member="Nima Tann"] submitted and the ideas presented by [member="Boo Chiyo"] and [member="Audren Sykes"], but with that said. [member="Sor-Jan Xantha"] Looks awesome, the best super-condensed soup ever.

But ya we'll need to prepare for a rebellion with this dominion in mind, also I'd like to get Charlyra mixed up with some of you Silver types just so that she's a bit balanced out with her Firemane side. I'll probably see about Charlyra hitting the dirt on Kessel for the healers run.

 

[Nima Tann]

Looks good.

 

[Rasu Gan]
