Darkhorse Station: Faction Thread

[RC 212]

Ok so heres a premise I came up with.

Darkhorse station is a lost space station located just past Rattatak. Once a prominent Naval Reserve platform that served as a fueling and refit pint for Fringe Confedracy warships, it was disappeared during their collapse.​

​

Scouts in the system report a high infection of Reavers moving in from the edge of the Unknown Regions. Darkhorse station ahppens to have been sighted, and is still fully operational.​

​

There is only one problem. Its been infected by Reavers, the flesh eating ghoulish pirates of the far lung regions. A small strike team is sent out to reclaim the station and purge it in the name of the Conglomerate.​

​

Problem is, more than just Reavers awaits.....​

​

​

There can be two sections.

A naval battle, and the battle for the station. Weigh in and let me get some interest then I'll write the rest.

This could work. Though we will need to build this in the factory most likely, we can't just suddenly have a space station.

Factory is 100% optional if you're just looking to have this as a fun thread, or acquire a generic location for the TC to RP on. We'd only need the factory if you planned on KEEPING it after the thread for a true refit for TC. Otherwise we can just make the thread and have fun with it.

That said, as a member of the Fringe in her early days, Matsu would absolutely join up for this trek.

Perhaps the abandoned station poses a threat to future station designs. That the whole thing is more of a liability if the Trade Conglomerate has their eyes on a safe space around Rattatak for building an outpost. If we can't salvage the station then we would have to destroy it?


I can safely say, as a person who has no background knowledge OOC or IC of the Fringe. I am totally up for this. Reavers are scary, awful things that I have a 100% interest in pursuing.

 

[Jack Ross]

I have a few ideas... I'll flesh them out and post them when I have a good understanding.

I was a founding member of the Fringe under a different character. My knowledge on these planets and territories is solid.

And no we don’t have to factory the station until after the thread. Factory is indeed for making things we want to keep.

This sounds interesting enough, and though I'm currently filled to capacity on constructing a massive Trade Station along with working with others to settle them in, I will approve this mission IC if you need and if possible bringing back at least parts of the station.

TC is in the buisness of reverse engineering Unknown and Fringe Tech, after all, we need to make a profit.

I'll even approve a bank roll for your mission to hire Mercs to possibly increase our membership. Hope this turns into a fun one.

 

[Jack Ross]

I'll sign on as security detail then and as a... business man reporting to the Viceroy... Best way I can put it. ICly, Jack will be doing a lot of kissing up to you Jaster. Just a heads up to everyone as well.

 

[Cross Ikon]

[member="Althea Raxis"]

I'm up for this, definitely. One of my first threads as Cross was against Reavers (with you, I think, writing Soulfire).

 

[Gillian Katar]

I can sign on as Tech Salvage and appraisal. If there is usable technology still in this fringe station I'll find it. I can also manage the hired Mercs if you need someone.

Gilly will probably judge you [member="Jack Ross"] for the kissing up (I don't judge), but go on ahead ! More behind for you in the long run since Gilly couldn't really give a damn about rank. She's just there to do her job and do it well.

Hey hey! Nice to see you Cross!

Ok give me a day to think of objectives. If you have any post em here!

 

[Cross Ikon]

[member="Althea Raxis"]

Well, objective 1: Shoot anything that looks vaguely like a Reaver

Obj 2: Restore systems like life support, etc.

 

[RC 212]

[member="Cross Ikon"]

Shall we RP?

 

[Jack Ross]

Objectives.

1. Review the specs of the station
   Split up teams, Alpha, Beta, Charlie

[*]Three Team Entry, one team on the lower section, one team in the mid section, one team at the top section
[*]Alpha Team investigate the offices // Beta Team investigate the engine and supply rooms // Charlie team find and reactive life support systems (power as well)
[*]Survive Reavers

1. Regroup

[*]Escape Station

 

[Gillian Katar]

Sounds like a solid to me.

But if this is a ship that has been pretty worn down it might do well to have another team pursue the life support and other auxiliary systems. Unless you want that to be covered by the Beta teams?

 

[Cross Ikon]

[member="Althea Raxis"]

Yes!

 

[Jack Ross]

That could work out. I'll edit that first post I made.

[Xenia Nastassia]

[member="Althea Raxis"] [member="Matsu Xiangu"]
Reavers... like...?

 

[Cross Ikon]

[member="Xenia Nastassia"]

Think of the Firefly definition of 'em, only a bit less smart.

 

[Gillian Katar]

[member="Xenia Nastassia"] They are rotting humanoids who have gone mad from a mixture of deep space isolation and cannibalism. In the Firefly universe they are something of a horror story most children don't believe in : They are the men and women that fly to the edge of the universe and go mad from the sheer nothingness of it all.

Think Ravers in fallout, disembodied corpses hanging around and impaled on things to look nice, the armor crafted from whatever whatever is around. Only they are insane, rotting creatures that shouldn't even classify as human anymore.


Simon: Well, campfire stories of men gone savage on the edge of space, killing and—
Zoe: They're not stories.
Simon: What happens if they board us?
Zoe: If they take the ship, they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh and sew our skins into their clothing. And if we're very very lucky, they'll do it in that order.
