Dominion Through the Vines | Dominion of Ajara [Diarchy]

[Damos Vakaro]

Through the Vines

The Diarchy must close the frontier as the Galactic Alliance and the NJO expand their border. The Ajara system lies off the edge of the Bright Jewel System in the Ghost Nebula. If the Diarchy can seize the system, it can be used as a staging area against the GA.

Objective I: Mind the Gas!

The Chancellorite has analyzed the gas giant of Ajara and discovered rich deposits of hydrogen and helium. With approval from the Diarchs, they are constructing refineries within the planet's atmosphere, which has been going smoothly until a few days ago. Sites have been reduced to rubble, and no life signs are detected among the remains. The atmosphere is dense with layers of clouds, making the threat near invisible with the naked eye. Coordinate with personnel deployed to the planet's atmosphere and eliminate the threat that's impeding our progress.

Objective II: Welcome to the Jungle

The moon of Ajan Kloss orbits the gas giant. Imperial remnants still fester in outposts on desolate worlds, and Ajan Kloss is no different. The flora and fauna of the planet are the reasons why the planet remains uninhabited, bar a lone Imperial outpost buried in the planet's vegetation. Efforts have been made to establish contact with the outpost, but they haven't been responding to Diarchy transmissions. Intelligence from the Network indicates that isolation from the rest of the galaxy has "perturbed" the local garrison. While this outpost could be ignored, it contains star charts that can help us navigate the Ghost Nebula. Launch an assault on the outpost, eliminate all hostiles, and acquire those star charts.

Objective 3: BYOO

Whether in the atmosphere of Ajara, or on the surface of Ajan Kloss, this system has many mysteries that are yet to be uncovered. Do what must be done to claim this system for the Diarchy.

Squarely at the intersection of the Chancellorate of Commerce with navigating around recent disaster, one found Merion Oreno at the helm of a Diarchy long-range transport. The ship was comfortable to hook, ornate and gently hooked and relatively aerodynamic. He'd been checking in with local comm channels as he steered down into the clouds. Now he was ready to update those aboard this ship.

"We're about to come into visual range of the remains. Their repulsor systems have less than an hour of life left, enough to look for clues, take scans, grab a vision or two, or draw out any enemies left in the area. I'll be standing by with tractor beams if anyone falls off."

The clouds parted, revealing a floating refinery, ruined but still aloft above the gas giant's vast red-purple cloudscape. Beldons or something like them, vast and harmless and lightweight, drifted off by the horizon.

The Diarch had no love for forests like this. He preferred the majestic Borreal Forests and crisp mountain air. Not humidity and tropical heat. But no matter, he was here for purpose, attempts at communications with an imperial hold out had been unsuccessful. And the Diarch had taken assurances to find out that these remnants did not belong to Karl Von Strauss and his confederation. That, as such made them enemies of the state. Remnants of fallen orders.

Reign had arrived ahead of the advance force, landing his Upsilon Command Shuttle in a clearing to designate a Diarchy landing zone. He wanted to get the lay of the land before his people got here.

Taking his macrobinoculars out he surveyed the terrain. Wet, Green, and teeming with life. Yet beyond, stone and durasteel. Man made machination.

“There you are”

 

[Maldor Sancetti]

Diplomatic Cruiser 'Rising Glory'
Objective I
______________________________________________________​

There was no rest for the wicked, and Maldor had most definitely spent a wickedly good time on his Honeymoon. Unfortunately, Diarchal affairs waited for no man (or woman, for that matter.) Problems on the frontier demanded his attention. The Chancellorate had been placed in charge of managing affairs on Ajara, and now those affairs had become endangered by... something.

The Rising Glory jumped out of hyperspace and nearly directly into orbit. It was a battlecruiser without weapons, an open palm to offer an alternative to the closed fist of direct military engagement. She had luxury accommodations, meeting rooms, facilities to meet any negotiating need...

...but she also had enough embarked craft aboard to take over a small colony world single-handedly.

The open hand could always become a fist, if needed.

Yol Kan's customized GAT-120 Skipray Blastboat II 'Meyoken'

​

Maldor boarded a Blast-Boat, piloted by the Captain of the Sancetti Royal Guard. It was important to have a pilot you could trust. Yol Kan had experience in nebulae, storms, and other gaseous phenomena. A gas giant was right in his wheelhouse.

Out they launched from Hangar Bay Two. Down they went into the thick clouds of Ajara, the blast-boat's military sensors sifting the gas for signs of trouble.

"This is High Chancellor Sancetti to Diarchal forces. I am descending in a Blastboat to investigate the problems within the planetary atmosphere. Mr. Oreno, we're coming up on your six."

Best to announce oneself and not be fired upon.
