Viken Dobson
, The Nomadic Peoples Coalition has managed to successfully achieve a major breakthrough in the development of etheric technology. Until recently, the only technology that has ever applied to the presence of the luminiferous aether has been etheric rudders. This is no longer the case, as a new technological component has been developed to be able to manipulate the aether, rather than just exploiting it. On its own, it is useless, but by incorporating into bigger systems, it can achieve many things that can change the very nature of space combat as we know it.Therefore, this new technology is highly coveted.
Currently, Viken Dobson is en route towards a deep-space NAKAIOMA beskar storage facility near the Yuuzhan’tar system on a rogue planetoid. He intends to perform more tests using the etheric modulation component in conjunction with the amazing material properties of beskar steel to create potentially faster ships. He has many, many of these small components with him in a convoy of ships. He also carries a few blueprint copies as well for other technologies that the Nomadic Peoples Coalition will soon develop. All of these things make him a highly valuable target on this journey.
The facility that Viken is bound for is well outside of the Yuuzhan'tar system on a rogue planetoid. The planetoid is embedded well within a massive rogue asteroid field that is ill-suited for capital-sized ships to traverse. Only ships smaller that are smaller than 50 meters and in the hands of an exceptional pilot are typically capable of safely navigating this dangerous environment. The facility itself is packed to the brim with beskar that was established in a deal between Saro Nakaioma and Dorthea Dobson in a meeting many months ago. A squadron of DZA fighters patrols the area in shifts of four fighters at a time, and the usual security has been bolstered with twenty Holy Knight Infantrymen. Viken’s small convoy of ships is only protected by a small unit of fighters that volunteered for the job. Any attempts to capture the convoy, the blueprints, the
OUT OF CHARACTER DATA:
The objectives are as follows:- Objective 1: Capture/defend the scientist Viken Dobson and his convoy that is filled with etheric technology.
- Objective 2: Capture/defend the beskar that is stored inside of the NAKAIOMA storage facility.
- PAYDAY: Since this is a BOOST thread, if we meet any of the thresholds for payout, the Nomadic Peoples Coalition will take 50,000 UC for our faction treasury, and then divide up the remaining UC reward amongst the other players in the thread evenly, no matter which threshold we meet, whether it is the 250,000, 500,000 or 1,000,000 reward, it doesn’t matter. Besides our treasury, everyone gets a fair share, as long as you’re not a belligerent knob in OOC.
- PARTICIPATION TROPHY: Anyone who merely participates in this thread will get total access to the etheric modulation component for their own future submissions. I’m super excited to see what else people can come up with when they use it, so you will receive total access to these components just by showing up. I just ask that you show me what you can do with it when you do.
- POT OF GOLD: Only the craftiest or craziest of thieves will succeed in stealing the beskar. We have other deposits just as big as this one in other locations, but the amount of Beskar in this NAKAIOMA facility is enough to build a star destroyer. You may never need money ever again if you can succeed in stealing it.

Viken Dobson
will grant you total access to the one of the following submissions of your choosing. The permit will be written out to one party, whether it is yourself, or your favourite factory guru, but it will only contain one party in the permit.
BONUS OBJECTIVE:
This thread was pretty much motivated by the relatively new movie: Top Gun, Maverick. THEREFORE, there is a bonus prize at the end of this thread for the player that can make the most Top Gun references in their posts (from either movie). In order to have these references counted towards your score at the end, they must be in the Courier New font, and a tally of how many references you used in that post should be at the bottom of the post. Otherwise they won't be counted.The bonus prize? You will gain total access to any one of the following submissions of your choosing:
As before, the permit will be written out to one party, whether it is yourself, or your favourite factory guru, but it will only contain one party in the permit.
And yes, if you capture both the scientist and win the bonus objective, you will win two technology permits. Three if you count the participation award.
THIS THREAD WILL BEGIN ON OCTOBER 10th
