Thread: Breaking the Law
Planet: Obredaan

Population Description: “””“Obredaan was the mining world of the Jin'ha armorers; it played host to the facility where they attempted to synthesize cortosis ore for use in their weapons.

the Jin'ha had been illegally synthesizing cortosis ore in order to battle the Jedi.

The Jin'ha were a mysterious species famous for their work on the lightsaber-resistant cortosis ore. The Jin'ha also sold some of their cortosis ore to the Trade Federation, which crafted it for their experimental assassin droids. The common weapons the Jin'ha used were pikes, maces and blasters.

The Jin'ha was a mysterious species from the planet of Obredaan. The Jin'ha produced weapons from refined lightsaber-resistant cortosis ore that they shipped to various gangs such as the Black Heth and the Trade Federation.

The common weapons the Jin'ha used were pikes, maces and blasters. ””””

The general outline of the thread is very structured and must be adhered to.
Only Mandal Hypernautics personnel may post in thread
Others must request permission to join thread and must specify that they are one of the following
-Private Contractor working for Hyperion Security
-Private Contractor working with Hyperion Mining
-”NPC” writing on behalf of the local population


5-10 posts covering Mandal Hypernautics ships arriving in system, including general crew outlook and introductions. Only two ships will arrive in system. A Concordance-class Mining Barge and a Skira that is cloaked and hiding in the shadow of the Concordance.

5-10 posts covering getting in contact with local government officials and organizing a business meeting. As well as traveling to the surface of the planet and arriving for said meeting.

5-10 posts covering a business meeting with the local government in which Mandal Hypernautics obtains a legally binding contract to acquire ownership of a sizable plot of land and mining rights to all minerals under said plot of land. Contract will be worded specifically to allow Hyperion Mining to use any mining methods they see fit.

5-10 posts covering scouting and surveying over a few days to locate 'the perfect spot' to begin mining operations (Can be done during business meetings). Then send in ground crews using specialized scanning equipment to find 8 anchor sites that are geologically stable.

5-10 posts covering the deployment of men and resources that break into groups and begin drilling anchor points into the selected sites. Drilling will take a little over a week. Once complete, 8 massive durasteel rods will be lowered into the drilled holes and secured in place. This will take a few days as well.

5-10 posts covering the deployment of seismic charges around the perimeter of the desired plot of land. The Concordance is brought into a low orbit over the site and positioned exactly over the anchor points. Gravity Tethers are lowered down and secured to the anchor points. Takes a few days overall.

5-10 posts covering the detonation of the explosives and the slow and careful extraction of the landmass from the planet. This will take a few hours to a few days to pull off without the landmass breaking apart.

5-10 posts covering the deployment of mining equipment from the ship to begin drilling through and harvesting the minerals of the landmass once it is in a secure orbit.

5-15 posts covering the initial harvesting and transfer of ores back to the ship as well refinement and storage in the massive cargo bays of the Concordance.

Unlimited Posts – The border of the land must be patrolled and secured from the local population. Locals and government officials will 'be in an uproar' once they realize that Hyperion Mining plans to 'crack the planet' to do their mining operations. They will try to convince us and force us to stop. We will wave the terms of the contract and legal guidelines in the faces of government, legal, and humanitarian representatives as we continue our mining operations. We will 'subdue' local populations if they get too aggressive with their attempts at stopping us.

Skira-class Battleship and launch craft will be available for fire support missions should large scale combat become necessary. “Peacekeeping” operations will be the priority though.

Thread will finish with a legal agreement with the government of the planet to not 'crack the planet' again if they agree to become a part of the Mandalorian Territories.

[member="Captain Larraq"] I take it that you want Aedan to do patrol duties if so I get the escort wing that you have put down or me correct?

 

[Countess Calum Teramo]

[member="Captain Larraq"] I'm guessing the Countess will be present with the business meeting. Helping with drawing up of the contracts.

Negative. Only the resources listed above would be available. No military escort beyond the 'hidden' Skira-class. At best, the military resourced you'd have available are 500 of the Concordance Mining Barge's security personnel to secure the ground site once the mining starts.

This is a 'civilian' operation. Minor security details. Police actions only.



[member="Countess Calum Teramo"]
You would most likely be on the bridge of the Concordance or the Bridge of the Skira at this point. Either you handle the negotiations and Larraq observes and oversees or the two of you handle it together.

 

[Aedan Miles]

QwQ I am literally sad. Just why can't I has my escort wing DX oh well we will drop pod in XD

Nope! You're not using assets from the Skira at this stage. Stick to the stuff from the Concordance man. At this stage you'd just be checking your supplies and making sure everyone is ready in case things go bad. This thread will cover several months of operation. The Skira is there to support the operation if things go horribly long towards the end of the operation when it is revealed that the company will be using 'illegal' mining operations on the planet thanks to tricky legal documents.

 

[Gilamar Skirata]

You know minors can't "own" planets...right?
And you can't make Mandalorian faction members...Ask permission for a MANDALORIAN dominion...

Right?

 

[Captain Larraq]

I'm telling a story for the benefit of my company that will result in the planet joining the Mandalorian Faction. In accordance with the rules laid out in the Company guide, dominions and invasions cannot be used as major projects unless the name of the company is in the thread title.

And as the thread creator, I can set up whatever restrictions I feel are appropriate for the story. I can ask people to leave. And I can ask RPJ's to step in and remove people/posts from the thread if they are blatantly pissing in my Cheerios.

Furthermore, I've yet to see a rule stating that a minor faction existing within a major faction cannot do their own dominions and seed the planets to the parent faction.

Where do you need me?

I think assisting with the overseeing of droid workers and general drilling/building anchor points would be a great use of your characters abilities. As well as helping to scan and locate 'the perfect spot' from one of the two HCE-778 Planetary Survey Craft.


[member="Gilamar Skirata"]

I'm only going to ask you once to comply with the restrictions of the thread or remove yourself from it before I bring the matter to a RPJ. I'm doing this thread so that the characters and writers in my faction can work to accomplish something and can enjoy themselves in the process. I've come up with what I feel is an interesting story to tell with them and I've no interest in letting outside forces manipulate this away from them due to selfish territoriality.

You think you're entitled to post in here because the word Mando shows up in the title? You're not. With the exception of Dev Threads that involve acquiring restricted materials from a planet owned by a major faction, I don't have to let anyone into a thread unless I choose to leave it completely open, completely private, or 'invite only'. Nowhere does it say that a thread 'has' to allow specific individuals into a thread.


Edit:
So tell you what. I'll scratch the word Mano from the title and switch it over to a Dev Thread. Please remove your post from the thread.
