Trade has suffered, as has the Imperium's diplomatic position there.  Apparently several of the region's client worlds have even renounced their ties with them Imperium, without consequence, or in some cases, without even a reaction by the Archduke.  One of those worlds is Gergigi, home planet of the groups vargr captain.  They broke formal ties with the Imperium about three years ago.  If he has been away form the planet for longer than that, he might not even be aware of the change, but that might be another way to convince him that this is worth pursuing.-In large part, the mission will consist of helping to "right the ship" in Delta Quadrant.  Re-establishing those trade routes, or even, if possible, negotiating the return of some of the lost client states tot he fold, etc.  For these aspects of the mission you will be allowed to act as brokers between the Imperium and the local state, but cannot make commitments on behalf of the Imperium-Another aspect of the mission may involve assembling materials and labor (or the promises of others to provide such resources) for massive planned building projects across Delta Quadrant."Hopefully  that's enough to grab them.  None of that should be general knowledge, but word of all that happening is bound to leak out at some point.  What I'm going to tell you now is something you cannot reveal unless you think it's the only way to get them.  No one but them can hear it (so get them away from their lawyers if you decide to tell them), and if they reveal this information publicly before the Emperor himself reveals it, I guarantee you they, and maybe you will be executed as traitors.  Got it?  Good.  So here it is:  Emperor Gavin is moving the Domain capital to somewhere in Delta.  I don't think they have actually chosen the site yet - who knows, it might even be Glen Murdoch.  But it's not only that, Gwydion.  The Emperor is deposing Marshal Nells as Archduke.  Your team's job is going to be 'tidy up' the region before the new Archduke moves in.  Understand?""Now like I said, this can't get out before the Emperor announces it - don't tell them unless you need to.  But hopefully there's more than a little patriotism running through that group, so if you need to, do it.  Anyquestions before you go?"[/sblock]</blockquote>
