THE REDOUBT STATION WAS a bleak and miserable place, not exactly a holiday destination, truth be told. Yet it was popular all the same, just with a different sort of people. Adventurers, soldiers of fortune, and just about everything in between - because the Redoubt was also the last objective within civilised space, before one headed to the Unknown Regions. Over the course of its long and storied history, few people had ever returned from venturing into the Unknown Regions, but those who had would see their lives changed forever, fame, fortune and no small amount of glory following in their wake.
It was why the Redoubt had been chosen as their meeting place for today, the last vestige of civilized space some on this trip would ever see.
Standing in docking bay three-sixteen, a humanoid protocol unit, chromium polished to a sheen would be found, its chestplate adorned with an absurdly ornate sigil, two serpent-like creatures rampant. It was staring at a large ship, and LXE Astrogation Vessel, as if in deep thought. The Droid seemed to pay little to no heed to the six heavily armoured, and liveried men dotted about it, standing to attention, their chest plates adorned with the same sigil. For a newcomer, it would present a strange sight indeed.
All seven of the individuals made up a tiny percentage of the Household Auxillia of the ‘House Praji’, a Core World Noble House of considerable fame and influence. Rumour had it on the Redoubt that it had been their leader, Count Hajan Praji himself, who was sponsoring the expedition, and that was why he had sent down six enforcers to clear the bay, and make it ready for his adventurers.
The Droid new, different, and almost subconsciously glanded up into the ship itself, before thinking better. It waited, indeed, it spent a lot of its time waiting.
It waited for the company to arrive.
OOC: Welcome to the first thread of our adventure, with me, @Nor’baal as your DM. There will be no dice this round, so, come and make your introductions, and let's get rolling!
