The Empress of Denon (Disney/Lucasfilm)
This adventure takes place on the planet Smarteel on the fringes of Wild Space. It is open to all participants. No territory is at stake between factions though it's possible rival faction members may encounter one another.
Scenario - The Empress of Denon, a civilian luxury liner owned by a subsidiary company of DireX, has suffered a hyperspace malfunction on the last stage of her maiden voyage. She has ended up stranded on the planet Smarteel. This was no accident as the Corpo-controlled ship was sabotaged by agents of Darkwire working in tandem with local piracy interests to their mutual advantage. There is a modest CAD (Corporate Authority of Denon) presence on Smarteel, but as a small mining colony, they don't have much in the way of resources to assist in rescue operations. What little assistance they can offer is a long way off as the cruise ship went down on the other side of the planet far away from Smarteel City and Cad City.
Thread Objectives - Choose one or make up your own:
1. Rescue civilians! The passengers and non-essential personnel were evacuated before the ship went down. Some of the lifeboats and escape pods went down in deserts claimed by swoop gangs, criminal syndicates and/or indigenous tribes. Heroes are needed to save these innocent folks. Villains may help themselves to passengers who are rich and connected to be used as hostages.
2. Loot the ship! Pirates and rogues alike have been carefully coordinated with crackerjack timing to be in the right place at the right time. Only a handful of essential ship's crew and a security contingent are all that stands in the way of the contents of the downed ship. Maybe a passenger had a rare item in their possession and now it's unprotected in their abandoned cabin. Perhaps the ship itself can be cannibalized for parts and technology. Other more altruistic characters may seize the ship's stores and distribute them where they are needed.
3. Defend the ship! Perhaps you're loyal to the Corpos or maybe you refused to be evacuated for whatever reason. But now you're on the other end of the previous scenario and are destined to clash with those who would take advantage of the situation. There might even be a reward for rescuing valuable company personnel and/or key crew members and assets.
4. Survival! You were a passenger on the Empress and got herded over to the lifeboats/escape pods. However, your guidance system malfunctioned and you're separated from everyone else. You could have gone down in the deep desert and must hold out as long as you can with whatever's on your person and the emergency kit under your seat. Or on the flip side, you went down near Smarteel City and have to survive in a relatively primitive and lawless urban setting while sticking out like a sore thumb.
5. White collar relations! The corporate/political response must be swift and bring confidence to the shareholders as well the civilian populace. It will be a challenge to deal with the fallout of this unforeseen emergency and issuing statements to both the media and officers of the company. Be sure to reassure loved ones of missing passengers and crew with words of solace and heartfelt prayer. Alternately, you could be with the media and you have to interview Corporate public relations. Or you could be the one to break the story. The way you handle yourself could earn you a promotion or otherwise increase your reputation.
I invited all particpants in the Wild West discussion thread since it's on the planet Smarteel and is similar to the trope of the locomotive breaking down out in the middle of nowhere. Also invited those who have interests in piracy that I can remember. And of course my allies in Darkwire. Remember, this is an open thread, so if you don't see your name here, don't let that stop you from posting if you want. Also, please feel free to tag other users who may be interested
