Greetings.
I am posting this as I meant to do so earlier in the week, however due to my Birthday and Easter being so close together, I had to push it back until this moment.
This idea is one that I floated by [member="Vassara Raxis"] in the PMs.
The outline of the idea was slightly hammered out, and there is a bit of work to be done still (mainly a planet and species submission that I will take care of).
The idea itself is meant to garner activity for not only the Expeditionary Fleet, it is meant to do so for the Duchess and the Avidonian Dominion as well. With the penultimate goal of creating a rivalry between the two factions.
In the guise of an interested citizen of the galaxy, using a middle man to remain anonymous, the Duchess would be sending a bit of funds (mainly credits, vessels, scientists, teams, etc etc) to the Expeditionary Fleet to discover undiscovered worlds in the Fringes of the Galaxy. This would be done for the sole purpose of the Duchess taking advantage of the discoveries later, all while under the guise of an anonymous benefactor to the Fleet.
Through multiple threads, and over time as these missions continue, the Fleet would begin to glimpse the face of their benefactor, and by the end the Expeditionary Fleet and the Avidonian Dominion would be at odds, each feeling slighted by the other.
The Fleet for being used by the Duchess and the Duchess for the Fleet taking her last payment and withholding the location and vital information on a few discoveries.
I know that Vassara had said there was interest in the idea, though I wanted to ensure first that there is a solid foundation to build off of before putting the work into a house (as it were) that would be left with nothing to stand upon.
