Exile plot
The purpose of this plot is for those who weren't able to join into the other main plots for the Exile to be able to have some affect on the story at large. The idea I had, was the enslaving of the colony of Agamar. A world far in the outer rim. But the current state of the order has it so we can't just walk up and be like we win. So in that idea, I feel several small plots about gathering resources to this goal, it could be a great way of getting the Exiles to start working together and hopefully lead to a unified Exile faction.
The plot would follow the Exiles going to Agamar to enslave the colonist, there can be a lot done with this. Either to enslave them to help mine the world, or be use as experiments. We could even split up the world and slaves to create powerbases for our characters. But in the end it doesn't matter.
There would be limited space to be part of this plot but hopefully once we get this started this would lead other Exiles to do similar plots. This would hopefully lead to a IC reasoning for why the Exiles eventually start working more and more together. I love the work the Admins have done and think it is in our best interests to help push some stories forward.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Plot 1: Gathering of the ships
Since the Exile faction doesn't have a dedicated fleet, and it would be impossible to just gather one out of the blue. Think it would be best to gain smaller ships like Freighters and gunships which can be use to pick up the colonist of Agamar, and enslave them. How you gather the ships will be ultimately up to you, wish to steal, buy or make them doesn't matter. So long as in the end they are used to help capture Agamar that is the only thing that matters.
Though do remember that we can have multiple plots for gathering ships happening at once, so don't be discourage to do so if you see other Exiles doing so. Though remember any ships such as corvettes and higher will have to be controlled by the faction at large.
Plot 2: Mercenaries!!!!
This plot line is a bit straight forward, because of the limited number of Exiles in the galaxy, it would be impossible to reasonable say the Exiles can maintain the world by themselves. So in that end, mercenaries would be one avenue we could use to help keep the population on Agamar enslaved. This would mean we would need both a way to pay the mercenaries or keep them under our control.
This opens up a window for those for more socially aligned Exiles to do what they do best. Also note just like with the gathering of the ships plot, there can be more then a single mercenary group working for or with us.
Plot 3: Sabotages
The one big thing about any invasion is to make sure word doesn't get out to any neighbors that want to try to help. So with that in mind, there should be plots focusing on disabling communication around the world. Making it so we don't have to worry about any additional opponents. Though that being said it won't be easy, there would probably be a few communication devices like towers and such that would allow the world to send a message out.
What this means is of course multiple plots can be running at the same time, to gather the explosives necessary, and to sneak to the towers. Finally leading up to that cool slow motion walk backwards where you have the explosion behind you but you don't look back. A good plots for more stealthier Exiles.
Plot 4: Invasion
Finally of course comes the big plot of them all, invading the world. This would most likely involve some open threads and pvping if we can get some. Or at least extremely dangerous NPC fighting controlled by a storyteller hopefully. Anyone and everyone can do a plot with them either breaking a garrison of the colony's militia. Using their ships to blow out fighters or other space craft that try to escape the world.
Or a nice and simple rush into the town square total war style to capture the control points. Anything can be done with this, maybe we can get threads with Jedi trying to battle Exiles, or other Indie individuals come to try to stop or help the Exiles. Either way plenty of great potential for story telling.
-------------------------------------------------------
Of course this is just a rough draft of the overall goal for this. If anyone got concerns or opinions would love to hear it. We might need a Admin to NPC a warlord in leading this invasion. If anyone is interested hopefully we can start sending plot submissions to the Admins for review.
Do note this is a interest check and I am sure there is a lot of work that will need to be done before we could start laying claim to anything. If you think something needs to be either added or changed to make this work. Let me know so we can work together in making a faction wide major plot involving many minor plots happen.
