Heyo doods =3=/
It's been a while since I announced the Farthest Stride, a plot based around a group of commanders and their single/many ships as they operate within the Task Force. It was an ambitious idea that was lost beneath a sea of shifting player pops, drama, and just in general the few months where things got p hectic for me schedule-wise. With my schedule stabilized (and a babber on the way to motivate me to push myself and my plots), I spoke briefly the other day that the Farthest Stride was happening.
And. It. Is.
And it will launch before the end of this month.
It was a spur decision, but once I've made up my mind I won't stop until I keep my word. This means that within two weeks (about a week and a half now), multiple things are going to be happening very rapidly.
Here's who we're looking for.

- There will be a series of micro-events/JPs with Gunhand to explain the IC rush of multiple new ships and the deployment of the 1st Expeditionary Fleet. In this time, multiple things will be completing.
- The 1st Expeditionary Fleet's wiki has been all-but finished and will be undergoing the NTSE soon to officiate it. It isn't a new fleet, but rather the result of the restructuring that was done to "balance" Nepleslia's fleets better. Figured I'd include that tidbit, as this is the fleet that the plot will be based around!
- Both the Jackdaw and the De Luca will likely be passing through the NTSE. At the worst case, it seems the Jackdaw would be the only one to arrive late (I'd not stop compromising until it got through, as it provides an option for the players =3=/). Another project has also been started to fill the middle tree, with a new support/repair ship... but, well, this is super early stage for it. My motivation lately has been high, but there's no guarantee I can get this step in. Thankfully, however, it is NOT a starting ship and only one available later on.
- I'll be starting to assist and work with anyone interested to get their characters prepared early. I like to get pre-launch JPs done before a first thread (if you've ever seen my other plots =3=, you'll know), so this will be the replacement for that. After all, the micro-events/JPs with Gunhand are the RP end before the launch this time. With how ships will need to be kept-up with and the players will need to make their characters, it seems fair to help with ship generation and sheets!
Here's who we're looking for.
- Jiyuuian Peacekeepers.
- These guys were integrated into the NSMC for around four YE. As such, many Ex-UOC Jiyuuians would be eligible as commanders by this point having served alongside and likely undergone some form of commission. Honestly, the fact that the Jiyuuians haven't been shown is simply absurd with just how many found a new home in Nepleslia. It's about time that these guys do more than just be a backdrop that was largely ignored!
- Nepleslian Kuznyetski.
- Obviously we'll have one or two generic Nepleslians, but ideally I'd love to see people making one of these gun-happy near-commies. Juno from the 309th is only one example of them, but he's a fairly poor one. Someone building a gun of their own would likely be an awesome character if you want to acquire one of the personally modified ships... think of what they could strap onto NSN hardware!
- 'Freenepper' Freespacers.
- @Primitive Polygon will be the best person to ask about which groups are already established, but this is a group that simply exists because many Freespacers live and abide under Nepleslian rule. Being one of these guys means your character has likely been challenging pirates and rogue-spacer groups in the Colonies... why not try and make them a stride for change with the best NSN group around >:3c
- Academic/Multi-Generational Nepleslians.
- This is a group that I know one interested person was looking at. There are many, MANY old Nepleslian NPCs out there for adoption or simply available as NPCs within the FM's controls. If you'd like to be one of the children or family of these famous members that are now registered/FM-held property for Nepleslia, then you should speak up! I know @Gunhand4171 and @Ametheliana love to deepen Nepleslia's character legacies and that's one of the best ways!
- Colonial Militia and Mercenaries.
- The final black sheep group to recruit from, the Colonial Expanse is a ROUGH place. Not just New Bernese, but many of the planets are plagued or are in rather uncontested space thanks to the more defensive positioning of the Navy. Mercenaries and the locally backed Militias (often funded by taxing the many corporations that industrialize Nepleslian worlds so heavily!) would be quite adept and watched as viable commission-targets for the new Fleet.
