Operation Symbiosis

PX Special Operations Command

*** TOP SECRET ***

After a long inquiry into the disappearance of starship |PX|OMG_SECRET_SHIP, we found out that a spy had sabotaged the PX vessel. It was found drifting deep in the dark nebulas of Gallileo system, and the crew was found almost dissolved from the heavy radiation.

The encrypted data has been recovered and transported under heavily armed guard to Kusari Naval Forces Inteligence Laboratory. Decryption will be completed ASAP.

Decryption complete.

Dom'Kavash liaison has requested specific samples of commodities usually sold in Sirius stations to be delivered to Mirrtak Battle Station, in accordance with Intelligence Resources Exchange Agreement.
For this purpose, two heavily armored Scouser transport vessels will be enlisted and equipped for transport of sensitive materials.

Materials will include: (commodity) - (quantity per vessel) - (explanation)

1. Classified alien research - 100 units - Research into alien biology and technology;
2. Classified Artifact Reports - 100 units - Government agencies' reports on alien Artifacts (whose purpose is still largely unknown) distribution throughout Sirius' systems;
3. Dangerous Alien Artifacts - 100 units - Artifacts whose purpose has been determined and that have been classified as a threat to security;
4. Infectious Waste - 100 units - Dom'Kavash engineers requested waste samples for studying potential exploitation of the waste as fuel or recycling purposes;
5. Poisonous Plants - 100 units - for biological diversity studies, possible bioweaponry application;
6. Fusion Weapon Components - 100 units - Weapon application for joint military usage;
7. Quantum Bomb Components - 100 units - Weapon application for joint military usage;
8. Experimental Weapon Research - 100 units - Weapon application for joint military usage;
9. Genetically Enhanced Phage - 100 units - Weapon application for joint military usage;
10. Artifacts - 100 units - Ancient, inactive Dom'Kavash artifacts found in nebulas in Sirius sector; for legacy-technology studies by the Dom'Kavash.

With most of the law enforcement factions in Sirius considering the stated commodities as illegal, gathering, transporting and protecting the cargo of the ships would be a difficult task the entire way. The Operation will be divided into segments:
1. If the apropriate permission cannot be obtained, the fleet will have to penetrate the defenses of Omega 3, which include potentially hostile GMG defense stations (Ion Cannons), Bretonia Armed Forces patrols, and ultimately Silver Arrows patrol wings and their allies. Diplomacy corps will work to obtain the necessary clearances and permissions (as the mission involves working directly against enemies of mankind), but if it's unsuccessful, the fleet must prepare for the worst.
2. Crossing the Inner Core systems to Weth. It is unclear how the other Dom' factions and their allies obtain sensitive informations about the movements, but they will surely detect the fleet and converge to destroy it. Layered defense, using capital ships as living shields is advised. Defenders are expendable, transporters are not.

Departure will be scheduled as soon as the transport vessels and commodities are prepared. Assembly point will be the orbit of planet Cambridge, Bretonia space.

A bit of offtopic from here, just to explain.

Commodities will be BMGs, like "Classified Alien Research", 100 of each commodity in each transport.
Consider it as a lovely opportunity for RP. We could have two separate events on two weekends, one where SA helps the fleet transit the space, other where SA decides not to let the fleet through, meaning the fleet would have to invade O3 before going to Inner Core.
As for the factions, SA's allies could help them, or their allied police clans could choose not to support the effort because of the BMGs, making the fleet a target, and such things.
Pirates could decide to help, or to try to tax the fleet!

Thoughts, opinions?
Use your imagination!

wow this will be a nice event!!! All cops have to stop the transport
pirates can escort it
and some mercs with cops and some with pirates

Exactly! Or we have a non-clan based division, kinda like selecting TDM teams.
Except for SA in event version 2, where they'd have to defend O3.

Lots of possibilities!

When we prepare the ships I guess.

Yeah, here's the deal - the event up there is just an outline - this has to be ok-ed by the SA, since it's their (your) system. If anyone has a constructive suggestion or a remark, bring it on, let's work this thing

I edited this postto include a list of commodities. Now all that remains is to post a date and get the ships ready.

Quote from SA_SEQAN

BMG smuggling through O3, last I checked, was against our rules.

EXACTLY!!!

So, either SA follows it's rules to the bitter end, possibly turning the tides of war and enabling the alien forces to invade Sirius and Altair?
OR, SA realizes this to be an exception from the rules and decides to provide cover to what could possibly be the salvation of the entire galaxy?

(ImO if we play both options, we'd all be awesome. )
