- Gather Jump Scan of Tohoku required.

- Finalized RP from the AFC/BD/Order side if need be.

---

PHASE 1: The Surprise Attack (Official Faction Battle)

---

AFC will have their carrier jump ship and a fighter wing set up escorting the carrier. The fighter wing will have with it the NEMP bomb torpedo thing in it’s payload. Along with them, the BD and Order fleet will mass to jump with the carrier. The BD and Order can have an unspecified number of ships (as of yet) with any equipment they wish. The will then jump to Tohoku.

On the other side, Aoi and K’Hara* ships will be grouping up (inRP they may sense a mass wave of attacking fleet heading their way… ?). Any ships and any number is permitted. The defencive party will try to fend off the attack.

The primary objective of the attacking fleet is to use the NEMP bomb on Heaven’s Gate. The significance of the winners of the battle will not be a secondary goal. The NEMP bomb will serve to inRP “Break the shields and human defencive systems” on Heaven’s Gate.

*Note: I have decided that this initial attack will b a 2 faction vs 2 faction battle. If not enough players on a side, we can add more nomads. I am leaving other infested and nomad factions out of the initial battle for now unless needed.

NEEDED HELP FROM ADMINS:

N/A ATM AFAIK


TIME OF EVENT: December 15th

---

PHASE 2: The Siege (Official, Unofficial, and Indy)

---

A Satellite Station will be spawned right next to Heaven’s Gate (inRP this will be the breach made into the station by the attackers and will only allow FREIGHTERS**. Attacking BD/Order ships (not limited to official) will be attacking the area around the station. Defensive Nomad [K’hara, Wilde, Aoi, Vagrants, (oracles and the Liberty infested?)] will be defending (not limited to official).

This will be a classic battle brawl event + blockade run. Primary objective for the attacking side is to bring Freighters / Transports escorted by a fleet to break in and drop supplies and marines. The defending side will try to stop this from happening. The secondary objective is to eliminate targets around the station.

**Note: AFC, BD, and Order freighters will be able to drop cargo off. Indies can participate. Other factions aside from this are not allowed to transporting goods into the area (oorp activity).


NEEDED HELP FROM ADMINS:

- Satellite Station next to Heaven’s Gate allowing only freighters.
- Kill counter for both sides.
- Marines and Kemwer Munitions sell point on Satellite Station.
- Commodity Tracker (unspecified ATM how much of the commodities are needed)
- In the case of uneven numbers, NPC battleships and other spawns may be spawned on either side.


TIME OF EVENT: October 15th - 22th (determined by speed of cargo delivery)

---

PHASE 3: The Counter Attack (Official, Unofficial, and Indy)

---

Satellite Station will be changed to Order Battleship. Heaven’s Gate will refuse access from anyone. Attacker/Defender role will be effectivly switched.

The Attacking forces have now settled into the station and are quickly trying to get as much information from the station as possible. They are now on the defensive and are tasked to smuggle out nomad information including the blueprints for the Emperor’s Kusari Battleship that Sunny wants to get his hands on. Outside the Nomad forces are massing for a massive counter assault.

Intel will reach the KNF that Heaven’s Gate has fallen and is crippled. As a scout party moves in to investigate, they see cargo of intelligence being moved out of the station. Since many secrets lie in Heaven’s Gate, the KNF decide to do an attack among the chaos.

All types of Nomads + Oracles + Outcasts are to be on the attacking side (not limited to official). Defending will be BD + Order + AFC (with indies). On a third side will be KNF (with indies) attacking from the flank.

The primary objective is for the defenders to take as much intelligence out of the station as possible and bring it to a safe area for research and analysis. KNF and Nomad+ others will try to take this information if they can. This will continue to be a brawl event too but the attacking/defending are basically changed. The nomads will now need to travel to Tohoku to attack instead of spawning in Tohoku.

NEEDED HELP FROM ADMINS:


- Satellite Station changed to Order Battleship and to allow any Order/BD/AFC (indy included) ships to dock besides transports (unless that is too hard).
- Heaven’s Gate to not allow anyone to dock (admin IFF or something).
- Commodity “Heaven’s Gate Intelligence” thing to be bought from the Battleship and taken to Akbat (I guess? Ask Golly)
- Commodity Tracker
- PVP tracker to continue
- NPC Nomads

TIME OF EVENT: Cargo Completed - December 29 + longer if you want

POST EVENT: The Aftermath

---

- HEAVENS GATE to be given back to it’s original IFF.
- AFC continuation of RP for Sarsuma
- Other RP to spring from this
- A hopeful activation of factions that would otherwise suffer from lack of activity.

---

NOTE:

---

-If Admins will not help in this event (which would be a shame), there will be adjustments made so that the event will still be taking place.
-All needed Offical Faction members have been notified about this event.
-The NEMP bomb activation of the event is not a classic NEMP event. I have been notified by spazzy that using the NEMP in this manor to spark the event is perfectly fine.

I'm still baffled such a thing can even be planned.

Some ragtag group of racers deciding to take over the Arch when Kusari Empire was unable to do so at the height of its power, prior to the war with Bretonia...?
And the same people finding the Satsuma blueprints (???) there.. That's... I have no words. I mean that would make sense if you attacked planet New Tokyo or even Yokohama shipyard... But the Arch...? Satsuma blueprints? What?

that's exactly how I feel tbh

especially when the order power is spread out, BD might be a little bit stronger but is it really that high of a priority to waste resources on?

"let's mobilize two factions that are currently at war and raid a nomad stronghold so my fast and furious import can have a shiny new ship"

[Chuba]

I very much like this idea. Keep up nomnom, these are the quality events I always look forward to.

---

[Lythrilux]

Your event has a massive overlooked hole: the typical structure of NEMP events allows factions to undo the damage by retrieving specified commodities to repair the NEMP'd base. It'll be impossible for Wild/Nomads to get commodities to partake in that part of the event. They can't contract anyone to do it either because everyone else in Sirius is hostile.

Otherwise, Yao mentions my other concerns. At the least, I only feel those concerns are relevant because you want this event to have long-lasting RP consequences. On that note, Heaven's Gate becoming a human base again will basically shut down Aoi, and I can't see that as being positive.

[Omicron]

I like the premise on basis that it might make Kusari more livable and take some activity out of ussual already uber-active hotspots. I sincerely doubt KNF will even be affected by AFC in the long run...

-The NEMP bomb activation of the event is not a classic NEMP event. I have been notified by spazzy that using the NEMP in this manor to spark the event is perfectly fine.

Also, to make it even more clear and repeating myself: the NEMP will not spawn a classic NEMP event.

---

[Lythrilux]

From what I am hearing, this did not have Aoi approval. It had minor consultation, but that the Arch was not on the table.

---

[nOmnomnOm]

Yes it had approval from all faction leaders that are involved afaik

There is a skype discussion chat room about it and the Aoi and wilde etc etc agreed

All factions that are in this event have agreed and I have given ample opportunity to discuss the event

Also, Auzari was part of that discussion and I am surprised to hear that response from her.


About the blueprints: It was given clearance too
About the NEMP mechanics: it was given clearance
About the story line: It was OKAY-ed when being created
