Re-Booting


So I had ambitious plans...and then the usual things got in the way. But I've begun in earnest in the past few weeks building out my Foreven sector. I built one system, Tavisol, almost randomly, ensuring that I had a couple of key components to it because I'm working on a con adventure set on it.

This then kept the process going, and I have several systems built in the Urnian subsector--the subsector that borders the Imperium. I had thought to revive my original idea of Ristoff plying the starlanes. However, with the release of Element Class Cruisers: Shipbuilder's Blueprints, I am going to take a different approach and run a solo bridge crew campaign.

The overall goal of the crew and ship is a goodwill tour the Imperium is sending through the sector. The tour is an attempt to ensure good relations with non-Imperial controlled space as tensions mount between the Zhodani Consulate and the Imperium (which leads to the Fifth Frontier War). To support the tour, of course, I will have some noble serving as a politico alongside the crew. Additionally, to add further complications, I will embed some additional elements into the overall set of character goals. For example, I am certain an Imperial spy will be serving as a member of the crew with the goal of using the tour as cover for obtaining information about the systems and potential enemies and allies of the Imperium.

More to come, including the materials I plan to use for the solo campaign along with characters as they are developed, etc. If you want to see my releases of planets for the Foreven sector in advance, you can follow me on Twitter.

    Very interesting. I think I must add this blog to my link-list.

    When you have a map of your Foreven ready, remind me to add a link from my Foreeven page.

Solo Traveller Setting Part 2: Carcharoth and the Resistance

Image
President Rica Breson Carcharoth (C630776-B) was invaded in the early hours of 1089.134 (Imperial) by the the People's Supremacy's crack 35th Drop Ranger Battalion. In accord with the People's Supremacy doctrine, numerous psionic agents were infiltrated into the governmental and military structure months and years in advance. However, President Rica Breson, aware of the People's invasions of Jora and Uryuom, had taken some measures to protect the government. Widespread use of psionic-shields and rigorous recruitment of loyal psions provided a thin line of defense. In this case, it was enough to allow Breson and the members of her cabinet to evade capture in the openings hours of the invasion. Nonetheless, the People's Army and Navy smashed the Carcharoth defense forces. Remnants of the army now form the nucleus of the Carcharoth Freedom Army (CFA), the primary resistance movement on Carcharoth. Breson and her cabinet found refuge in Blerreon (B547524-7) in the Piah

Solo Traveller Setting Part 1: Klebe and the People’s Supremacy

Image
Image by  Gerd Altmann  from  Pixabay   From the History of the Harem Sector in Foreven by Dr. Hatishiv Logius Once a Zhodani aligned state, even the Zhodani Consulate has distanced itself since the People’s Revolutionary Party seized power in a hard coup in 1082 (Imperial). The genesis of the People’s Supremacy was a growing perception that those empowered with psionic abilities were innately better than non-psionic enabled people. While largely inline with Zhodani philosophy (reference the position of the proles), Minister Andyr Fualiz positioned the then People’s Party--a vaguely communist-anarchist oriented group--into a more aggressive, psion superiority party. When slapped with the term supremacist movement, Fualiz embraced the term. In the early hours of day 1082.53 (Imperial), Fualiz and Admiral Habix Villous (a secret psion who had for years ensured the rise of fellow psions to high military ranks) seized the capital city, Nolar, and secured the system with cruisers under Vi

Chapter 1, Part 15: Krenshawz

Image
History of Hubble Space Telescope, NASA, MSFC, 2001 If you want to start at the beginning.... Rules for this referee-less, play by post game. Chapter 1 Part 15 Krenshawz Zernov ambles into the room. Late night emergency meetings like this are when Zernov's age and preference for lower G is the most evident. He's stiff, and quicker to find his chair. The morning routine of stretches and warmups had to be skipped, and without combat there was no adrenaline to clear out the cobwebs. Sitting deeply in his chair, Zernov focuses on reading ahead in the report before the briefing starts. Maybe no one will notice him falling behind while he's still waking up. Lero steeples his fingers together and tells Perez to begin. Perez stands up. “After extensive searches, we found nothing of use at the Kopan base. This, in itself, is telling and lends credence to the XO’s suspicions regarding Kopan’s seeming preparedness. Raiders would not have scrubbed and destroyed e
