Hello everybody! I'm Dalos, the fourth-finest information broker in the galaxy. This thread is where in-character discussion takes place for Conquerors of the Paellos Sector. Trade, threaten, join forces, grovel... whatever floats your boat, just don't break character. That's what the other thread is for.

When business is slow, I need to generate something to talk about; it seems like you have the forces to run an errand or two for me, yes? I'll post these missions here. Fulfill the requirements, collect your reward at the end of that turn; simple enough. Should two players both complete the objective, both get the reward. Rewards are non-essential to victory, so feel no pressure to take a given mission.

Let's start by getting to know each other; please state your faction's name, and whether your tech is Rebel or Imperial.

Welcome to the Paellos Sector!

Participants:

@Drasnighta : Tactical Remnants (Imperial)

@GhostofNobodyInParticular : GNIPians (Rebel)

@BiggsIRL : Kashyyyk University Archeology Department (Rebel)

@Matt3412 : The Merry Crew (Imperial)

@FortyInRed : The Evil League of Evil (Imperial)

@idjmv : Union of Random Antisocial Creatures (Imperial)

@Bertie Wooster : Gungans and Naboo (Rebel)

@LTD : Proprietary Limited (Rebel)

Simultaneously, all communicators in the Paellos Sector go black. Beings wander around, tapping them, and some jerk asks "have you tried turning it off and on again".

Just then, the communicators all turn back on, and reveal what appears to be the bridge of an Imperial II -class Start Destroyer.

A massive black horse calmly walks into view.

WHINNYYYYYYYYYY - it shrieks.

All across the sector, beings fall over, dazed and confused. How could such a sound have a profound effect across such distances?

Its as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Something terrible has indeed happened, the Terrible Death Whinny.

Two human males, with prominent facial hair above their mouths and tan-brown hats appear on stage. They remove their headphones and begin singing.

Bad Horse, Bad Horse, Bad Horse, Bad Horse!
He flies across the system, the Thoroughbred of Sin
He got the hyper broadcast that you just sent in!
It needs evaluation, so let the game behind.
A fleet battle, a show of force, an Empire would be nice of course!

Bad Horse, Bad Horse, Bad Horse, he's bad!
The Evil League of Evil, demands your surrender.
The offer that we make will be the last we swear! So make the bad horse gleeful, or he'll make you his mare.
It's saddles up, there's no recourse, it's high ho silver.

Mission 1: The Banking Clan Will Sign Your Treaty

Let it be known that planets X, X1, and X2 will soon be under Equine control. Trespass and be destroyed.

Greetings. I am CP9-J, the official Droid Interpreter for the Kashyyyk University Archeology Department, which is conducting tests in this sector.

My masters will be in touch with you regarding our activity.

CP9-J: Greetings gentlebeings of this sector. Professor Krshardrn bids you all welcome.

Professor Krshardrn: Hruuufgrrrrn. Yaaarlrn gruuuff gruufff!

CP9-J: Yes, yes, I'm getting to that. The Kashyyyk University Archaeology Department, or KUAD as Professor Krshardrn insists on calling it, is currently utilizing the planets of Draathrrrr, Drrraaaathmmrrr, and Drrrrhhrrrnnn as our base camp. We intend to explore the center of this sector, focusing at this time on the systems currently designated Echo, Charlie, and Bravo, and looking for a way to access system Alpha. Please do not interfere with our work.

Gungans and Naboo (you can just call us "Gungans," or "GAN" if you like) are based in planets Tarkovsky, Tati and Toland and exploring planets W, U, and S.

The GNIPians bid you greeting from Ion, Iota, and Ioanni, and wish to lay claim to Haven*, Havana, Gretel, and Grittle.

*Oddly, Haven is actually named on my map. . .

Attention @FortyInRed . The Ypsilon system is off limits. It has already been colonized. We are willing to discuss this further.

Hmm. Are you interested in futhering the cause of Evil?

If so, we might be inclined to let you keep Y.

What about Zebra? Have you a claim there?

The Z system does not have any known owners. As for the cause, the Union of Random AntiSocial Creatures are willing to join.

Excellent.

We shall proceed toward Clydesdale and Zebra then instead, and will leave Ypsilon to you.

Shall we agree to mutual "Evil empires do not shoot each other" order for 3 turns?

"Greeting, Merry Crew. It seems we have encountered one another in the L system."

"We do not apologize for actions taken against your world - after all, you did proclaim the virtue of mass-slaughter of Meat Bags, which designation includes our Share Holder."

"Our organisation exists primarily for profit. We have little interest in a protracted conflict - unless it would be of benefit to our Share Holder. We suggest you make us an enticing offer regarding the future of relations between our factions, return of your world, and reparations for the inconvenience we have experienced."

"Yours, etc."
