Emissary of Strife
The Voice of Struggle
House Calipsa has long lived in the shadow of Mecetti rule as the Tapani Sector’s second most powerful house. A history of conservative rule has all but prevented Calipsa from challenging their hegemony, until recently, when their High Lord was murdered in cold blood by his younger (but not young) brother, who has longed to see his family supplant the Mecetti and rule the Sector alone.
Such ambitions were seen as foolhardy at best - that was, until Calipsa hired the Sith Covenant as a mercenary force, intent on letting them destroy their enemies with the same brutality that had led to the Covenant's success over Kattada, Genarius, and Chandrila.
However, Calipsa - and the other houses - will soon learn the cost of inviting Sith to do their dirty work for them. The Tapani Sector is said to be so wealthy that even a ravenous horde like the Covenant could enjoy such riches for years to come…
December 28th
OBJECTIVE ONE - LIFE DAY
House Calipsa gathers in their capital for a Life Day celebration. What was meant to be the guise of their deniability is now their very undoing. The Covenant never intended to collect its modest fee when so much more is left on the table. Let this be a lesson to them - leave the bodies and take everything else.
Themes: Assassination, extortion
OBJECTIVE TWO - THE CORRAL
Tapani is a wealthy Sector full of wealthy people who avoid risk like a nasty relative. A massive trade caravan - some say the largest in recent history - plans a great escape. They believe safety in numbers is enough. Little do they know they are corralled by the Covenant, ready to pick ‘em dry. Many of the ships contain priceless treasures, the possessions of noble families that span generations.
Themes: Spacers, piracy, war
OBJECTIVE THREE - REAL WORK
The Covenant war camp has assembled on Sheva, a backwater in the Freeworlds Territory of Tapani. From here, the Covenant prepares its push into the Sector as a whole. Inspect the fleets and armies, talk with your fellow warriors; imagine what a permanent foothold in the Tapani Sector might look like. There are Pelagia and Mecetti prisoners to interrogate, too.
Themes: Social, interpersonal, intrigue
