Background story:
The Reapers of Sirius Faction are in desperate need of scientists with a good knowledge of terraforming which will play a critical role for the establishment of our new settlement. However, as all the houses are already aware of, the Reapers of Sirius are marked as hostile or unfriendly at the very best which makes it impossible for them to hire scientists in legal terms. Therefore an alternative course of action must be taken in order to achieve their goal.
The Reapers of Sirius high-command are planning to intercept a convoy carrying Planetform scientists which is escorted by several Bretonian Armed Forces Escort Wings. Intelligence gathered from various sources tells us that the convoy will be passing the Omega-3 and the Omega-7 system in order to reach the Rheinland house. Rumor has it that the Bretonian government have initiated diplomatic arrangements with the Rheinland house and this convoy is directly connected to that contract.
How to participate:
The result of this event will be documented by the Reapers of Sirius.

Before engagements are made, there shall be a few minutes of Role-Play. Here is your freedom to Role-Play the situation as you want but eventually the Reapers will attack.
BAF-escort Pilots:
Your main objective is to protect the convoy at all costs, this is achieved by destroying all Reaper hostiles. Also, remember, stick close to your convoy do not let them out of your sight!
Planetform Transport Pilots:
During the attack, you are NOT allowed to move away from the place you were intercepted at. Role-play your characters who are inside the vessel as you see fit but any in-game action is not allowed EXCEPT shooting the Reapers from where you stand.
If all BAF-escort Pilots are destroyed you MUST follow the Reapers to their designed destination. You are NOT allowed to fly away on your own.
NOTE: All Planetform Transport Vessels MUST carry MINIMUM 100 Scientists in their cargo hold.
Reapers of Sirius Pilots:
Your main objective is to FIRST destroy all BAF-escort pilots and then take the Planetform Transports to Omega-50 - Boa Vista Station, where they will be forced to dock. The path you wish to take to reach Omega-50 you can choose as you see fit during the event.
RULES:
#1 - No reinforcements from either side are allowed to join in. There is ONLY an exception to this rule if one of the participants have to abandon the event due to an emergency.
#2 - The BAF-escort Pilots are NOT allowed to take any sort of supplies from the Planetform Transport Ships (this includes: Nanobots, Shieldbatteries, any other type of ammunition).

How about sides hiring Mercs?
To fill slots that is, this sounds fun.

Mercenaries can join IF we are in need of more players.
Mercenaries can only join the BAF side if this is required, it won't fit with the Role-Play to join the Reapers side.
If anyone has any more questions/suggestions/complaints, feel free to write here. Also please state clearly if you wish to participate.

I'd be down to join if the BAF need backing up, with my Merc.
Lemmie know if their numbers are falling short.

I put you up in the BAF list as reserve mercenary.
EVENT! Terraforming scientists! - Banza - 01-13-2010
I doubt that RoS will need more pilots...so
I can go as BAF|Adm.James.Hobart or,
if you need a Planetform transport, I can be PF-Genesis
EVENT! Terraforming scientists! - litlwicked - 01-14-2010
If I can, I will be there. things are a bit difficult with school and a pregie wife right now for gaming.
so put me down as a maybe:
BAF|Capt.Roland.Gilead

This seems to be a one-sided event, what's in for Planetform and BAF if they win?

You are right it is a bit one-sided event. There are several reasons for why it is perceived as such:
1. The Reapers here are the aggressors so even if the BAF would fend off the attack, all they only win is that their convoy is safe. I mean, kinda logical, I guess?
2. The whole "terraforming scientists" were planned by the RoS faction that they would get a few of them anyways, I thought it would be a nice gesture of me to at least make it a bit more realistic with an event.
3. Even if the reward for winning on the Planetform/BAF side seems a little bit "lame" what possibly else could they receive?

Added as "maybe" on the list. I know there are alot of members in the BAF faction, and I do know that many have already seen this thread. I assume many aren't registering because they don't find the event attractive, if this is the case you must inform me about this, else I'm wasting my time here...
EVENT! Terraforming scientists! - Quorg - 01-14-2010
maybe the Slavers Union can try to swoop in and snatch up the scientists for their own purposes!
bwahahahaha
