OOC: [T20] High Law and Low Justice

[Maerdwyn]

OK, am up to date with the threads, now looking at character sheet and posting later tonight. While googling for traveller for my own campaign I came across this amazing thinghie :

Have Fun

That's a great site!

Be aware though, that T20 uses different UWP codes thae the edition that map was made with ( and that I've messed with some worlds beyond that). Daramm, for example, is a very large waterworld in the new Gateway sourcebook, whereas it's relatively small, but earthlike on that map. An excellent resource, just the same, though.

aaah well, can't win 'em all

In the interest of helping your GM plan a bit, I'd appreciate some OOC and/or IC discussion of the possible destinations of the Dvonn if it successfully leaves Tamandere.

This is a pdf of the UWP codes of worlds within Jump 3 (Dvonn's rating) of Tamandere.

A few notes on these planets:
Daramm, the Sector Capital and the Luriani Homeworld, was Dvonn's originally intended destination, and the system the party just came from.

Dukhm the Domain Capital, was the originally intended destination of the party and the site of the Mercantile Council

Sauma Forain is the Primary world of Saanath's home system. He is from the secondary planet, Kansas.

Gashiddi is an asteroid belt. Primarily a mining and research facility.

Isk only recently joined the Imperium - Luriani nature documentaries have been portraying the inhabitants as "awakening savages"

Tomauu has the largest Ursa population in the Imperium.

See the starmap for trade routes and possible destinations beyond a Jump 3 radius.

I'd go for DUKH, since it'sin imperial space and it has a navy base, but, I'm the newest so someone else'll have to make the hard decisions .

 

[Maerdwyn]

Just as a note of explanation - all of the planets in this immediate area are Imperial - the official code for what I listed as "luriani" is "Il", "I" for imperial, "l" for Luriani. Same with the Ursa world "Iu". Imperial means a broad mix of races or a majority mixed-race human population. Sorry - that wasn't clear at all in the chart. I've changed it to Mixed in the chart.

Hi guys.


My brain hurts after a 24hr workshift, and my keyboard seems more and more like a comfy pillow evry time I look at it.
Anyway, just a few more things before I go to sleap for a few hours:

You were looking for plans for the future? Well, here are a few.

The more experienced travellers may have thought about this. If we live, we're gonna be bloody bloody rich. We have salvage rights on the corsair. And evrything in- and on it. If the owners want it back its gonna cost 'em 25% of the ships value.A 400T corsair costs about 150MCr. Say half that, because of damage, age and stuff.Thats 75 Mch. 25 % is about 18MC. Thats what, 3MCr each? Thats 9,000,000 US$. Each.

And that's not it. Can you imagine Bill Gates ordering his goons to knowingly leave people slowly suffocate, over the course of a few days.
Now imagine how much television corps would pay to have exclusive footage of the tapes wich show him giving the order, and getting angry when someone tries to do the right thing, and threeatening them to have his way......
Or an exclusive interview with one of the heroes. Or with the sole survivor....
And the funny thing is that all of this happened in (imperial) space. So they don't care whether we sell 'em planetside or not. It's not in their legislation, it won't devaluate the evidence. And it's the best way to make sure this isn't going to get hushed over or bribed out.

So, where do we go from here? Easiest way for the GM to make us get rid of all that cash is to either retire the character as he's bought himself a little island on a pleasure planet, concubines included, or he puts the money together with some of the otherst for the downpayment on an armed and armoured jump-4 far-trader, to be off and have some more adventures.

Anyway....

Good night

As an FYI - to claim salvage, You'd need to take Dvonn to either Daraam or Luur, the nearest starports rated C or better.

DrZombie, I like the enthusiasm

That's a toughie... we don't really know what's going on yet, or exactly who is to blame for all this, so it's hard to know who to run to.

Gateway Arms, JohnHenry, and HiranuCorp are all Nells corporations, right? Quinn's first instinct would be to run to the nearest center of imperial power, but in Gateway, that means running to the Nells's, right? And that's obviously not a good idea. They've already tried to kill us twice, and are about to do it again...

Is there a large Malikhot presence on any of the nearby worlds? Or Scout or Navy? Any truly independant news organizations?

 

[Maerdwyn]

Gateway Arms, JohnHenry, and HiranuCorp are all Nells corporations, right?

Yes, though it will take some IC discussion for everyone to be clear on this. Malikot Corporation is not.

Quinn's first instinct would be to run to the nearest center of imperial power, but in Gateway, that means running to the Nells's, right?

Yes. Dukh is the Imperial Domain Capital. Archduke Huleri Nells, presiding. Daramm is the sector capital, Duke Gerard Nells, presiding.

Is there a large Malikhot presence on any of the nearby worlds? Or Scout or Navy? Any truly independant news organizations?

There are naval bases at both Daramm and Dukh, though both are at low strength because of the Solomani Rim War. There is a Scout Base at Dukh. Because of the Mercantile Council, there is also an absolutely massive corporate presence at Dukh.

The only independant media source in these parts is TAS - most everything else is run by HiranuCorp.

According to Dvonn's registry, the ship, and the Malikot company is based out of Treading (0518, D6669B7-4). They don't have full offices on other worlds (these were sold off as the company converted to a travel company from a merc outfit) instead partnering with independant travel agencies to arrange their cruises. You might be able to find company representatives on some of the major worlds serviced by their routes.

 

[Watus]

Well, it's not his call, and it will obviously require some IC discussion, but I can tell you that Quinn will vote for a naval base on either Daramm or Dukh.

He is a marine after all...
