The man, the legend, the Lyth Wrote:Hi, Lyth here. As per my recent elevation into Leadership, I’ve been exploring potential avenues that could enrich roleplay and activity. After receiving a recent comm from Tanith, I had an idea.
A few updates ago the Omegas had a rework and that included the Omega-55 system. Core had a base placed in there to help fix our Omega presence. Upon further investigation, I find the infocard for Planet Absconsum very interesting:
Quote:A barren and incalculably arid world, Absconsum is completely devoid of any atmosphere. Rumors circulate, however, that a treasure-trove of alien structures and artifacts were rediscovered; purged from discoverer Rheinland’s records by the Wilde regime of Chancellor Niemann.
Currently, the Core possesses a monopoly of the planet’s orbit via their orbiting outpost and various small shuttles providing the only reliable access to the surface. Any secrets the planet may contain are at present privy only to them.
So at some point or another, I'm going to explore that more in depth, as well as write a kick-ass Predator inspired RP story to flesh out the background and discovery of the Planet.
But for now, I thought it could be really cool if Dagger (the base in orbit of Absconsum) sold Artifacts. But here is the dilemma: I don't really know what type of Artifacts [to request] that it should sell.
So, if this request for a sell point can pass, what type of Artifacts should it sell? The Corsair ones, but RP'd as something else? Sorted Artifacts (but also maybe RP'd as something else?) Or a new [Core] Artifact commodity entirely?
Either way, the intention is that the final product would be a contraband, and would hopefully encourage smuggling from Dagger going in and out of the Omegas. And it'd also open up a new dimension of The Core as they step into the black market.
