Plot notes!
Summary: When Thorn Ironhart is contracted by the Mitsuya No Akuto to scout HX-14 for potentially valuable resources and habitability, she finds the colony eliminated, with survivors in a Recovery era post apocalypse. Population drop from 3.3 billion to 10, 000 or less
Scope: This plot will affect the planet it is on, and maybe, later on, the nation of Asteriaβs interest in the area.
Plot Points:
1) Part 1: First Contact a Decade Late
a) Thorn, having extricated herself from the USO and her responsibilities there, is offered a temporary charter for stellar prospecting
b) Exploration of the system begins, and an unexpected entity is discovered. This could happen with several player ships or NPCs
c) First Contact begins and legalese begins
GM Notes:
HX-14 was originally scouted by the YSS Elfin Princess in YE30. It was never heard from again.
Presumably, it was invaded by SMX forces not long after, and the 3.3 billion inhabitants killed. However, there were survivors. Due to a rapid adaptation virus used to optimize the population for their environment, the survivors of the initial Mishhu invasion changed. Their society knocked back to the stone age, they adapted well enough to actively hunt Mishhuvithyar as prey animals.
It is possible that the Elfin Princess did not make or attempt first contact specifically to avoid Mishhu discovery. With this successful, they did not know that an electromagnetic storm had led to the death of the populace five years earlier.
Thorn's charter for stellar prospecting was in the area of Asura for Viscount Katashi, though he did specifically mention the frontier. As of this date, Sun. 19 of November, 2017, the charter has not been written or finalized, though implications of the responsibilities are are in the discussion phase.
@paladinrpg and
@HandOfChaos have shown interest, with Hand showing it pending a character.
@Wes and
@Gallant I would like to apply for GM status to continue forward with the idea and generate more detailed plot notes under more recognized formats.
From my posts in NTSE I have demonstrated the creativity, responsibility, and helpfulness to run this, confirmable by
@FrostJaeger and
