Expansion



The Mid-Rim Campaign


The Mandalorians were building momentum at a rapid pace and with no intention of slowing down. They had made progress afar but it was time to look closer to their home. With recent events in the galaxy causing a swath of planets to declare their neutrality, it revealed an opportunity that the clans would need to seize in order to secure their home of Mandalore. Not only that, but the production acquired from their conquests would be able to properly supply their people and limit the dependence they have on the Sith. Nox, once more assembling most of their forces with the authority of Mand'alor, launched a new campaign that was a combination of the clan's might as his first act of Mand'alor.
---

The first campaign pack was received well and I’m glad to see that you guys enjoyed that style. So, this pack will be following the same formula as Drums of Conquest. For the "missions", an overall description of the planet will be given and a situation that coincides with the general state of the planet. Participants will be allowed to decide how to turn the planet completely on their own given the situation or find their own creative way with the background information. Players are liable for mission rewards once the thread is completed. It's the group's choice to make it ASK/OPEN PVP, self DM'd, rolls, etc, and should lead to a creative experience.

The only rule I would keep in mind is to please make sure the story and challenge of the thread are significant enough to turn a neutral planet. Other than that, your imagination is the limit! (Leave your character's name and what planet you would like to thread on. If you have more questions about a situation or if you need help with an idea, don't be afraid to DM or ask in Mando chat.)

(48-HOUR WINDOW FOR POSTS.)




Contruum

Contruum was a highly developed/industrial and tropical planet, what some considered the jewel of the Mid-rim, often compared to Eriadu in terms of prestige. Even with the planet having numerous ore processing plants, mines, and ship-building franchises, the surface of the planet is arid and covered with an equal or even greater amount of farms to the industrial sector that the planet could be considered an agricultural world. There has been relative peace on the world until their renewed independence, the industrial sector pushing for the production of more ships and weapons at the expense of future and current farmland. The farmers and their corresponding has fought back against them, wishing to keep the planet free from the devastation the factories would cause to nature. Even though both sides won’t admit there is open conflict, there have already been reports of bombings on facilities or farms set ablaze. If no solution is found between the two, many people could see war rupture across the planet in order to decide their fate.

If successful, the planet will provide with a medium orbital shipyard, farmlands, science universities, and a steady supply of ore for Mandalorians.

(Ideas: Side with the agriculture district? Side with manufacturing? Unify? Invade?)

Roche

Roche is an asteroid field, specifically a series of asteroids colonized by the species known as Verpine, insectoids that are considered some of the finest ship engineers in the entire galaxy. The capital is Nickel One while the other main asteroids are Slayn, Korpil, and Roche G42. The asteroids are located on the Perlemia Trade Route and thrived from commercial agreements and their technological industry. With their recent independence from the FWA, the Verpine had to rebuild most of their trade and commercial agreements to reflect their new position. Fortunately, the Verpine and Mandalorians have had previous good relations, once ago trading technology for protection, and are possibly searching for the same sort of arrangement. That left a window of an opportunity, but not just for Mandalorians. There are rumors of a Warlord bringing a small pirate fleet to the system in order to have it under his control, the technology stored there highly valuable.

If successful, the asteroid system will add a shipyard/port, access to Verpine technology for their own use, and access to technological enhancements for Mandalorians.

(Ideas: Help the Verpine? Help the Warlord? Divide and conquer? Something else?)

ASK | Gett'se Vizla, Nox Solus, (Raya Kryze) |



Metalorn

Metalorn was a planet located in the Talcene sector. Once a beautiful world, it had been transformed pretty much into a wasteland from the sheer amount of factories and production facilities on the planet. When there was no more space on the surface, even more factories were built underground for production to never cease. The majority of the factories are controlled by merchant clans and had complete control of the planet until recently. One of the droid factories had turned online, producing battle droids at an alarming rate and conquering other nearby factories to make more. The merchant clans had been primarily wiped out, leaving this unknown Warlord with his droid army to rule the planet, rumors running rampant of the commander being a CIS supporter. The only resistance on the planet is the civilians and workers from the very factories conquered, offering up some type of resistance but their time running out as the droids never stopped producing.

If successful, the planet will provide a shipyard, droid production facilities, large amount of manufacturing and ore-processing facilities for Mandalorians.

(Ideas: Side with the Rebels? Side with the unknown droid producer? Invade? Something else?)

ASK | Song Wren, Randor Wren, Kraaz Wail |



Shu-Toran

Shu-Toran is a massive volcanic planet with vast amounts of veins and mines of ore/minerals throughout the planet. Despite the hostile climate and volcanic nature, the atmosphere of the planet is still breathable for species and not completely shutting off the surface from approaching travelers. Under the surface, a network of tunnels and cave networks, as these are the safest places for the cities to reside and continue their mining operations. Even though there is a network of cities underneath, the beating heart of the planet’s infrastructure relies on one massive tower called, the Spike on the surface. The structure and planet, once ruled by different noble families, had fallen to just one that ruled from the Spike after a power struggle. With the structure having just recently been able to start repairs, the family has an iron grip on the structure, the head of the family is a young man who knows exactly the value he stands on. After strife with the old Empire and Rebel Alliance that almost led to the destruction of their planet, the people have taken more of an isolationist view but even nobles need help from time to time.

If successful, the planet will provide a very ore-rich planet for the Mandalorians.

(Ideas: Force the noble to no longer be in isolation? Side with his enemies? Invade? Something else?)

ASK | Arthos Vizla, Vidha Solus, Cyrian Vrax |​

Additional Notes

Theme: Just because there was a little confusion with the first pack, wanted to make this clear. Under these settings, the characters participating in the missions are not by themselves. Under the theme of a campaign, as it represents all the clans banding together, the clans of the characters who are in the specific thread will be the majority of forces that accompany them to take the planet. Solus and Vizla characters, for example, are equal to 50/50 crusader forces deployed with them unless dictated otherwise. That means there are a reasonable amount of men and ships under their command and should open up more possibilities of what writers want to do in the thread. Reasonable means reasonable.

Crusade Experience:
Throughout many stories of the crusades with Mandalorians, those very campaigns were the opportunities that the warriors used to hone their skills before they took on force-sensitives. Adapting that to our format in order to represent that, I'm going to try something for this campaign pack. In the threads, if you'd like to practice combat one on one, I'm willing to DM a character that is naturally part of the story in order to do that.

For example, say your target in a thread is a King but he is too old and can't fight, so he has a champion. I would be willing to DM as the champion (or whatever fits in your story) and go against whoever wants to practice for a PVP situation. This should help those who want to PVP but don't want their first attempt to be in an actual PVP, dealing with the stress where they can possibly lose something of value to their faction while just trying to figure out what works. This should also help remove the burnout for both writers that happens with most training threads by getting straight to the point with the fight when they're ready and a goal to strive for the one who wants to practice.

This will be limited because I'm one dude. If nobody wants to do this, that's completely fine, just throwing it out there because I've seen in the discord that people are worried about jumping into PVP for the first time. Even though PVP isn't necessary for the story, there will be a lot in the future because we are a warrior culture. If you want to try this, then put "I want the smoke" in your sign-up post to let me know.

I would like to submit @Cyrian Vrax (an Imperial Assault Trooper) to aid with one of these missions in a joint operation with the Empire to help achieve mutual goals and improve military/diplomatic cooperation with the Mandalorians. In particular the mission to Contruum.

@Van'Aria Solus for Roche. Fill me for Contruum if there is noone stepping up to the plate. Im willing to "take the smoke" in either mission.

(Willing to fill where needed but I want to keep involvement lower to give others room as im already involved in another mission pack.)

@Arcangel, you'll be doing Rosche with me, we can start whenever!

@Song and @Mockingjay, you guys are good for Metallorn!

@Bread and @Burpee, you guys are good for Contruum!

@Morse, @Reylo4evr and @Nefieslab , you guys are good for Shu-Toran!

For both @Reylo4evr and @Burpee, you two will be the ones who receive practice for the time being unless I free up. This fight should only take place at the climax of the thread to prevent holding up your other partner. Whenever you reach that point depending on your story, create a character for me in that situation and I will DM them. Depending on what is happening, I may modify their equipment and such.

Each thread is open to three players so If someone still wants to join, don't be afraid to say something!

If I'm reading properly I believe there is one spot left open for Metallorn that I think Kraaz would be great for!

Great, I'll toss you into that one! Just message Song or Mockingjay to be filled in on their plan and how to enter.

@Okoju if @Orbit has no problems with it craft yourself in in your own creative way.

Bear in mind that this Thread is going to feature a Mock PVP battle for Burpee towards the end.
